Troy Nelson starts to make a dent against winter’s onslaught Tuesday afternoon at his residence on 1st Street N. in Sartell. The night before, Nov. 10, the city received, in some places, more than a foot of snow in a blizzard that broke several records.
A November weather-policy communiqué was no more released by Sartell schools than the city was struck with a blizzard Nov. 10, forcing school closings across Minnesota, including in Sartell, where at least one foot of snow fell. Sartell schools started two hours late Tuesday. Street crews in the city worked non-stop in the wee hours of Monday well through the daylight hours, as well as on Tuesday to clear roads. Every school in central Minnesota was closed Monday or had late-morning starts the next day, including the universities and the vocational school. Many other meetings and events were also canceled because travel was, at best, fraught with dan-
gers. Massive amounts of blowing snow fell over much of the northern United States, and in central Minnesota it was the most snow received this early in the season since a blizzard that happened on Halloween day in 1991. It also topped the record for snow on Nov. 10, breaking the previous record, which was only two inches that fell on Nov. 10, 1996. The snow began falling at 2 a.m. Monday and continued all day, whipped by winds as strong as 25 mph, which greatly reduced visibility caused by the powdery snow being whipped into roadways and elsewhere. There were scores of fenderbender-type accidents reported throughout the area, and a few of them resulted in minor injuries. Blizzard • page 2
Council approves Safe Routes to School Plan by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
It’s a classic “Catch-22” situation: Sartell students who might consider walking or biking to school are concerned about all the traffic on roads near school, and parents (worried about heavy traffic near schools) drive their children to school rather than let them walk or bike due to the safety hazards of heavy traffic. That’s one of the conundrums pondered by members of the Safe Routes to School committee, which has been researching such safety issues for
many months before drafting a Safe Routes to School plan. The highly detailed, comprehensive study, recently approved by the Sartell City Council, is entitled “Pine Meadow Elementary and Sartell Middle School Safe Routes to School Plan.” Anyone who has driven the streets on mornings or afternoons near Pine Meadow Elementary or Sartell Middle School can well understand the safety concerns of parents and students. Those streets become a bumper-to-bumper parade of hectic traffic, with many areas of blind spots and lessened visibility. However, the SRTS
Happy to be alive at veterans’ lunch by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
During a Veterans Day lunch at Sartell Middle School, student Jacob Weyer leaned over to tell his uncle Darrell Theisen, a Vietnam veteran, how happy he is to have him as a lunch buddy, how happy he is he survived that longago war and how happy he is that he is alive. “I feel good you survived,” Jacob said. “I feel good you are alive.” “Well, it make me feel good,
too!” his uncle said with an exclamation and a laugh. Theisen and his nephew enjoyed lunch together on Sartell Middle School’s Home Day celebration. It’s the eighth annual event at the school to honor veterans who are relatives of the students: grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. Many veterans attended the school event, enjoying lunch with students and attending a salute to veterans after lunch in the gymnasium (see related story.) Lunch • page 5
committee and others are determined to remedy the situation to make routes to and from schools much safer for pedestrians and bikers. That goal is the crux of the SRTS program, a program devised by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Sartell has received widespread praise for its approach to SRTS, for its detailed, comprehensive research; for its grant applications; for its analysis of all relevant data; for its strategies; and for its implementations. The city is considered a model of superb SRTS planning, and other cities are using
Sartell’s methods to adapt for their own future plans. An SRTS plan will also be developed for Oak Ridge Elementary and for the Sartell High School, which will tie in to the plans for Pine Meadow Elementary and the middle school. The biggest challenge for Oak Ridge is to someday extend a sidewalk or walkingbiking trail all the way north to Oak Ridge. How many walk/bike? Very few Sartell students walk or bike to school, according to data collected by the SRTS committee. Routes • page 2

Routes from front page
Like most Minnesota cities – and cities elsewhere – there has been a marked increase of students who get to school via other forms of transportation, such as buses, public transportation or rides with parents or neighbors. A survey taken in October 2013 showed only 1 to 2 percent of Pine Meadow Elementary students walked to school and virtually none biked. Rather, 58 percent rode the school bus, 38 percent rode in a family vehicle, 1 percent rode in a car pool and 1 percent used “other transit.” For Sartell Middle School, the numbers were higher. Six to 7 percent walked, 2 percent biked, 47 percent took the school bus, 40 percent rode in a family vehicle, 5 to 6 percent car-pooled and less than 1 percent used some other form of transportation. Those Sartell statistics match quite closely the ones from
throughout the nation. One reason biking-hiking seems to have declined is because in recent decades, the “neighborhood” school has become, in many places a thing of the past, with more schools being constructed at the edges of a city or even beyond. Other reasons for the decline in walking/biking is students and parents are leery of increased traffic of all kinds, busy schedules that vary day to day and fears about crimes such as abductions or random assaults. Why not walk/bike? In Sartell, based on surveys for Pine Cone Elementary, safety of intersection crossings is the number-one reason that dissuades children from walking or biking or for their parents forbidding them to do so. Next in line of concerns are the volume of traffic, speed of traffic, distance from school, lack of crossing guards, lack of adults to walk-bike with students, inclement weather, lack of sidewalks-pathways, fear of exposure to crime or violence, and the hassle-free Routes • page 5
Correction
There were two people elected to the St. Stephen City Council in the last election – Danita Traut and Gene Skaj. Traut was re-elected with 247 votes and Skaj was elected by receiving 36 write-in votes, the majority of the 79 write-in votes cast. Current council member Rusty Paggen
did not seek re-election, thus the extra position on the ballot. Voters were allowed to chose two candidates, but since Traut’s name was the only one on the ballot, the second winner (which turned out to be Skaj) had to be chosen via write-in votes. The two will take their seats in January.

Students salute veterans with music, poems, speeches by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
Sartell Middle School students hosted their annual tribute to military veterans on Veterans’ Day, Nov. 11, with photo by Dennis Dalman
Sartell Middle School students Janagan Ramanathan (left) and Thomas Ellis sign a banner under photos of military veterans displayed in the SMS lunchroom. The photos are of veterans who are related in some way to SMS students, who invited the veterans for a free lunch at the school for Veterans’ Day. It was the eighth annual such event at the school.
No matter how long it’s been since your loved one died, grief can make the holidays a painful time. But there’s hope. Join us for an encouraging seminar that will help you survive the holidays and discover new reasons to enjoy them again.
Saturday, Nov. 15 and Saturday, Dec. 6 9-11 a.m. at Hope Covenant Church Call today for more information. 320.257.4673 Visit GriefShare.org
music, poetry, guest speakers and big bouquets of thankyous to those who served their country. The large student choir sang a moving rendition of the song Flanders Field, a musical version of the famous poem inspired by World War I. The school band played a series of tunes in a military medley, including Taps. Sartell Mayor Joe Perske gave the students a short speech about how Veterans’ Day originated, and newly re-elected State Rep. Tim O’Driscoll of Sartell led the students in the Pledge of Allegiance. Guest speaker was military veteran John Atchley of Royalton, who works as a coordinator of pension requests at the VA Medical Center in St. Cloud. While showing slides of his overseas duty assignments, Atchley told the students a bit about his career in both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Air Force. For several years, in the Army, Atchley worked as a medic. Later, he joined the Air Force, also as a medic. He told the students when he was younger he had protested wars because he does not believe in war and violence. And yet, he later felt compelled to join the military because he loves his country so much. Besides, he noted, joining up was practically a personal-familial “destiny” because his family and ancestors have always served in the military, stemming all the way back to the Revolutionary War of Independence. Atchley served in Kuwait, Iraq, Honduras in Central America and in Tunisia in North Africa. In Kuwait, in 1991, he and other medics treated wounded American soldiers, stabilizing them until they could be flown to
military hospitals in Germany for recovery. He and the others worked in emergencyunit tents. When it rained, it poured for days on end, causing flooding. At times, Atchley, to get to the emergency medical tent would find himself walking up to his knees in flood water. In Honduras and Tunisia, Atchley and others spent time training people to become paramedics. People in Honduras were so brutally poor they would walk barefoot for 10 miles or more just to get the most rudimentary medical help, such as dental work or badly needed medications for them or their ailing children. Many hungry children in Honduras attended school, often miles from their homes, just so they could get one meal a day. A big lesson he learned from his work in those countries is people everywhere want the same things basically; they want health care, enough to eat and, most of all, they want what is best for their families. One of his slides showed the late actor Robin Williams smiling broadly as he entertained American troops in Kuwait. Atchley, who met the actor and chatted with him for a time, commented about what a good, caring man he was. Atchley was given a warm round of applause for sharing his experiences. Another highlight of the Salute to Veterans event were two poems created and read by two students, both sixthgraders – Breeze Boom and Taylor Markgraf. Both have several relatives in one or more branches of the military, and so they wrote their poems as tributes to them. To read their poems, visit www.thenewsleaders.com.

convenience of being driven in a car. The reasons are similar for Sartell Middle School students, in slightly different order, but one factor important at the middle-school level is participation in after-school programs and additional time needed to bike or walk to school, time that takes away from busy schedules in the morning or after school. Where do they live?

Jacob is a seventh-grade student at SMS. Theisen, who lives in Sauk Rapids, is the owner of Sauk Rapids Electric. A draftee, he served in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970, a clerk and member of the 101st Airborne Division. Theisen and his wife, Joan, have two children – Brandon, 36; and Michelle, 34 – and two grandchildren – a 4-year-old girl and a 1-year old boy. “This is the first one of these events I’ve come to,” Theisen said. “I’m not one to celebrate things like this because I think the Vietnam War was a big waste, but I’m glad I came today for Jacob’s sake.”
Sartell Newsleader • www.thenewsleaders.com Forty-five percent of the approximately 700 students at Pine Meadow Elementary live within a mile or so from their school – that is, about a mile or less. About 33 percent of middleschool students live within a mile of their school. Even though quite a few students live in neighborhoods fairly near those two schools, most of them do not walk or bike to school because of the reasons listed above. Traffic concerns Pine Meadow Elementary and Sartell Middle School are
located not far from the high school, thus complicating the morning and afternoon traffic congestion, especially on 7th Street N. and Pinecone Road. In addition, there are businesses in that area, including a gas station-convenience store, a mini-mall, neighborhoods and apartment complexes, as well as city hall and the businesses to the south along Pinecone Road and 2nd Street S. There are about 6,100 vehicles per day on Pinecone Road, according to 2009 statistics from MnDOT. The speed limit on that road is 40 mph. On
7th Street N. there are about 2,000 vehicles per day. However, those numbers dramatically increase during morning dropoffs and afternoon pick-ups at the schools. From 2003-12, there were 112 collisions within one-half mile or closer to Pine Meadow Elementary. Two involved pedestrians struck by vehicles; two involved vehicles colliding with bicycles. Of those four collisions, two happened in a marked crosswalk. One pedestrian was 15 years old; one bicyclist was 17 years old. Near Sartell Middle School,
5 there were 59 accidents in that same time period, from 2003-13. In two cases, vehicles struck pedestrians, both on 7th Street N. In one of the two incidents, two pedestrians were struck by the same vehicle at the same time while the pedestrians were crossing a marked intersection. Fortunately, none of the injuries in any of the above accidents was life-threatening. For a more in-depth article, visit thenewsleaders.com and search for Safe Routes to School.

Our View Three hearty cheers for Safe Routes to School Kudos to the people working to implement the Safe Routes to School programs in area cities – and cities beyond. Just about every adult can recall how they rolled their eyes when their parents bragged about how, in the old days, they had to walk a mile or more to school every morning – rain or shine, hot or cold. “Yeah, right,” kids tend to say, followed by a dismissive “Whatever.” But the fact is, kids, it’s true. In the good old days, part of the “good” (usually) is that most kids did walk to school. It was just what a kid had to do, and so nobody complained – well, not too much, that is. By walking (or biking) to school, kids in the olden times got their exercise, felt pert and alert when they arrived at school (once they defrosted in the winter, that is) and had a chance to shoot the breeze with school chums and share the latest scuttlebutt on the way to and from school. And it’s the truth some kids did walk a mile or more every day to and from. Safe Routes to School is a program of the Minnesota Department of Transportation that encourages cities, through grants and other assistance, to develop, implement and encourage children to walk or bike to school. What’s great about SRTS is it requires research and the collection of data bearing on every aspect of pedestrian safety and opportunities for safe walking and biking. It includes such factors as traffic volume, traffic patterns, lay-out and conditions of streets, distance of homes from school sites, law enforcement, speed limits and the availability (or plans for) sidewalks and/or hiking-biking trails. Another big plus of STRS is its recognition that networking must be done to make the plan work. That network includes school-safety programs; fitness programs; parents-teachers-administrators working together; the input from law enforcement; expertise from street departments and city engineers; and comments from the children themselves, especially about the barriers to safety while walking or biking. The City of Sartell has become a recognized statewide leader in SRTS because of its highly detailed and effective planning and implementation plan. Other cities have begun to model their own programs based on the Sartell plan. However, other cities, too, are also making strides in the research process, including St. Joseph. Studies have shown so many benefits to children when they walk or bike to school. They arrive at school after a pleasant bout of physical activity, which gets their learning juices flowing. Their attention span and diligence for school work is given a boost. The physical activity has been known to decrease depression and anxiety levels, and the students are generally just more upbeat and positive in every respect. The daily walking or biking is also proven to help students keep a more appropriate body weight, helping fight the obesity so common in children (and adults) these days. We hope SRTS programs start succeeding, bigtime, everywhere. It is a win-win program, no doubt about it, for everyone.

Opinion Folks, are we ready yet for ‘Kumbaya?’ Let’s gather ‘round the campfire, folks! It’s time to sing Kumbaya. Hooray! Republicans and Democrats will finally get along. Whoa! Better not count those chickens before they hatch. Already there is some offkey singing in the Kumbaya chorus, and the warm campfire fuzzies are about to break into fist-fights. One example: The other day, House majority leader John Boehner, like a stern father to a reckless child, warned President Obama not to “play with matches.” After their election triumph, Republicans control House and Senate. Will they start delivering on the promises they’ve made for the past six years? You see, they couldn’t get anything done before because they had to buck imperial Obama, Harry Reid and all the jackass Democrats. It was their fault. They obstructed every good idea put forward by put-upon Republicans. Such were their claims. But now, they have a chance to deliver on their robust promises that include the following: Jobs Republicans have campaigned on jobs, jobs, jobs and strengthening the middle class, which are issues Americans consistently rate as high priorities. But, aside from beating their campaign drums, Republicans never spelled out a specific jobs plan other than hazy hints and the usual mantra – lowered taxes. Maybe they were keeping their plan secret so Democrats wouldn’t steal their thunder. Now, they can unveil that plan in its glory and pass legislation that will get this economy boom-boom-booming, creating millions of good-paying jobs. Thus will the middle class be strengthened and the American Dream revived. There will be no more need for a minimum wage or food stamps. This apparent miracle will not occur through wand-waving. It will be the result of lowering taxes, especially for the superwealthy and corporations. With lower taxes to pay (for those who pay them at all, that is), corporations will invest more in job creation – thus new jobs and excellent wages. This is
Dennis Dalman Editor called “Trickle Down Theory,” which means, in a nutshell: Give the wealthiest more breaks, and they in turn will create more breaks for all Americans. It’s the French-fried, new-fangled Adam Smithian version of noblesse oblige, which is made de rigueur through utterly unregulated laissez faire. Social issues Congress, maybe with Supreme Court help, can maybe soon make any and all abortions illegal. They could also reverse decisions that made same-sex marriages legal, thus striking a decisive blow on behalf of real marriage, decency and morality. They can also put the kibosh on any efforts for gun-safety laws. ObamaCare They could, through death by a thousand cuts, finally exterminate every trace of ObamaCare – that dastardly pipe dream by a socialist president who is ruining this country’s healthcare system and our freedom to choose, not to mention how that horrible law lets 10 million people – mostly deadbeats – get insurance practically for free, thanks to subsidies. Once they get rid of ObamaCare, Republicans can pass their own health-care reforms (another secret plan yet to be revealed). Immigration Finally, they can pass a bill to make the American-Mexican border impossible to cross this-a-way by beefing up security (more fences, more guards, shock wires, possibly alligator-infested moats?) For those illegals now here, there will be a path to citizenship but only after all of them are deported and wait in line again on that side of the moat. Corruption With Republicans in charge of investigatory committees, we will finally get to the bottom
of those cesspools of corruption –Benghazi and the IRS – so long hushed up by Hillary and her fork-tailed minions. Foreign policy Have no fear. The new Congress will destroy ISIS and the Ebola virus in no time flat. They will do that by introducing policies (we don’t know what they are yet; they’re keeping them as a surprise). The new get-tough policies will end the molly-coddling practiced by the clueless Obama Administration. The above speculations may sound like farflung sarcastic broadsides. But, in fact, those exact solutions have been proposed repeatedly by Republicans, mainly by extremist ones who seem to have the upper hand in Republican congressional caucuses these days. Many voters, obviously, seem to agree with those solutions – to diminish Big Government and let unfettered free-market forces determine just about everything – the key, they believe, to a happy future. Of course, there is one problem with Congress achieving goals. The presidential election is only two years away. Republicans must be careful not to pass anything that Obama and the Democrats might try to take credit for. They must also be careful, between their rock and hard place, not to pass anything that might anger Hispanics, Afro-Americans, women and younger voters, all of whom they will need to win the presidency next time around. And there is yet another problem: Obama will use the veto, but Congress could hamstring him by making good on their repeated threats to sue him and/or to impeach him. If these new Republicans succeed in taming their extremists and passing good legislation, more power to them, to us. Most of them, in their hearts, mean well for America as much as Democrats do. Let us dare to hope the seemingly “impossible” happens, a casting aside of extremists and a refreshing bi-partisan approach based on compromises. But after so many years of witnessing donothing tactics, it’s hard to maintain hope these days. What’s called for is some kind of miracle. Let us pray.
A Republican’s analysis of mid-term election When asked to comment on the election, Sen. Harry Reid said, “Well I guess the voters just want us to work together.” Going forward you will probably hear any of a number of reasons the Republicans retook control of both Houses. I intend to use this space to offer this Republican’s analysis of the election. If I were in Reid’s shoes I would have answered the same way. The facts are, however, the country seems to believe we are headed in the wrong direction. Exit polling clearly shows with as many as 69 percent of those polled offering that opinion. This election is a repudiation of the direction we as a country are headed and the politics that caused us to get off track. When the smoke clears from the election, Republicans will have taken a vast majority of governorships. Republicans will have gained a net of seven Senate seats with at least three more probable. It has also been reported another two or three Democrat senators may well change parties. The House will be overwhelmingly Republican with a pick up of another dozen or so seats. This all bodes well for Republicans in 2016. All they have to do is come up with a candidate who will be acceptable to the country as a whole. These results do not bode well for Hillary or Elizabeth Warren or for any far-left
Ron Scarbro Guest Writer liberal who might be thinking about running. This country’s experiment with big government and liberalism is either slowing or ending altogether. As is always the case, the pendulum swings. So, what do the American people want from this new Republican majority? Here are a few of my wants. Number one, approve the Keystone Pipeline. This is a no-brainer. Let’s get busy with energy production and subsequent energy independence. It’s right beneath our feet. Next, let’s get to the bottom of all the scandals surrounding this Administration. Benghazi, the IRS, NSA spying, border security, the Bergdahl prisoner swap and too many more to even list. Find the truth and deal with any lawbreakers. Then on to real tax reform and budget balancing. Of course that means they have to first pass a budget. And finally, Obamacare. This turkey really cannot and will not work. We need real
health-care reform that is both affordable and workable. Surely with all the brains available in this country, we can do better than Obamacare. Then comes the matter of Supreme Court nominees which may well arise in the next two years. Get the politics out of the High Court. Quit trying to balance black/white, male/female, Hispanic/whatever. Let’s get the right people there based on their knowledge of the Constitution and their willingness to use that document as the basis for their judgments. The Constitution is not a living document. As written, it is the law of the land. Establish a reasonable, workable foreign policy. Let our friends know for a certainty they can count on us and let our enemies know with that same certainty they should fear us. Leave no doubt on either point. And finally, if Barack Obama gets cute with his “pen” and decides he’s going to enact law from the Oval Office, bring that or him to a quick end. I would suggest one from his own party make a little visit and explain the facts of life. I personally don’t want to put the country through another impeachment but, if it becomes necessary, go for it. The country and this Republican have spoken.
