SAUK RAPIDS — A Sauk Rapids man has died as a result of a Nov. 14 accident. According to release from the Minnesota State Patrol, two vehicles collided at the intersection of Highway 15 and 18th Street North, Sauk Rapids shortly after 11 a.m. Robert Aurelius, 88, who had been traveling westbound on 18th Street North died at the scene. Myron Handeland, 84 of Royalton was northbound on Highway 15. The state patrol was assisted at the scene by the Sauk Rapids Police Department.
in their struggles. “I started from ground one, which is where addicts do when they come to recovery,” Rock said. “Most addicts or alcoholics lose everything. I had lost everything. I had lost my kids, I had lost my job, I lost my ability to speak and walk for a while. Little by little these things were taken away. Everything that made up my personality was gone.” Yet the things Rock lost in her struggle, she regained with hard work and determination. She was not easily broken., she was like a rock.

OPINION
Birth control, cancer Ann Marschel, nationally certified Billings Ovulation Method instructor, of Rice I was glad to hear another woman beat breast cancer, yet sad to read your article “Under 30.” My heart goes out to anyone who has cancer or had cancer. It also seems everyone is affect- by: ANN MARSCHEL ed by cancer in some way or another. Guest Columnist Many people take care of their bodies and do everything by the book, yet it seems they get cancer. At the same time, I wonder if we, as women and as a society, know how harmful the birth control pill is along with other hormonal drugs. Would we not have more understanding of why young women are getting breast cancer and why it is so prevalent in our society thus leading us to stop using these harmful drugs and regaining control over the cancer epidemic? In 2012, the World Health Organization classified estrogen therapy, postmenopausal, estrogen-only menopausal therapy, estrogen-progestogen menopausal therapy (combined) and estrogen-progestogen oral contraceptives (combined) as class 1 carcinogens. They are in the same classification as asbestos and formaldehyde. We tear down buildings or gut them completely when they have any asbestos and formaldehyde within them, yet women put pills/hormonal supplements into their body that are in the same group as these harmful toxins. Now, some women do not take combined estrogen-progestogen oral contraceptives, but what are the other oral contraceptives and/or IUDs pumping into their bodies? These pills/ devices contain at least one artificial hormone (usually progestogen — which is artificial for the woman's real hormone progesterone) and it allows the woman’s body to continually think she is pregnant. This in turns makes a woman’s prolactin level increase which suppresses ovulation and gets her breasts ready to make milk for her baby. Thus her breast and body continue to think she’s pregnant yet she usually has a regular bleed. How can this be since when women are actually pregnant, if they bleed it usually means something is wrong? I think we, as a society, need to be educated on what contraceptives (whether taken orally or placed within or on a woman’s body) are actually made of and what they are doing within the woman’s body. Also, we need to know how these drugs affect our water supplies when they are passed through women's bodies. Even with all the filtration and purification we have done with water, it is proven not everything can be removed. That means artificial hormones are being passed into our water system and traces of female hormones can be found in our “clean” water supply. My hope is that with this knowledge, we all can be proactive and learn how to better help ourselves and society with combating cancer. This information can be researched and found. Check out the World Health Organization, frog malformations in Minnesota Lakes (http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-043-01/) (look under Suspected Causes for Malformed Frogs—chemicals—estrogens) and the research that has linked breast cancer back to artificial birth control (http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/74/15/4078.abstract).

“The expectation I hope to see is that some of these shoreline areas would have some plant growth. It [plant growth] is actually a good thing. Some people might have mixed feelings about it, but it does provide fish habitat, shoreline stability and the ability for the plants to use up those nutrients, and that is the main goal of the project,” Altena said. “It is to try and process some of those nutrients so we can improve the water clarity and therefore increase the property values, fishability and recreation assets — the whole nine yards.” A three-foot, 60-day or more drawdown to the area has the possibility to reduce the nutrients by exposing sediment to air and sun, it could compact sediment, encourage plant growth and increase habitat for shore birds, waterfowl and fish. But the drawdown does not come without sacrifices. There could be a short-term odor from exposed decomposition, temporary growth of noxious weeds and reduced recreational activity. If the water clarity increases after a drawdown, there is also the possibility of curly leaf pond weed growth, a common invasive plant with a resident seed-bed.

WATAB TOWNSHIP — The proposed drawdown of Little Rock Lake, Harris Channel and the area of the Mississippi River known as the Sartell Pool has been delayed. Earlier this summer, the DNR had hoped to coordinate its drawdown efforts with mandatory maintenance required by Eagle Creek Renewable Energy, LLC. However, after conversations this fall, the coordinated effort is unlikely. The possibility of a drawdown has been postponed until summer 2018. According to DNR Area Fisheries Manager Eric Altena, who gave a presentation to the Little Rock Lake Association Nov. 5, Eagle Creek Renewable Energy, owners of the 9,500-kilowatt hydroelectric generating station known as Sartell Hydro, has the potential of losing approximately $225,000 in energy revenues by participating in a six-week drawdown. Although the company plans to remain cooperative with the DNR, Altena said the company is able to perform their scheduled maintenance without conforming and they cannot be expected to agree to the length of time needed for an effective drawdown. Eagle Creek engineers are still researching the potential for their operation to continue at lower levels, but, in the mean time, alternative methods must be sought. According to Altena, the DNR has up to $150,000 available for a project that will improve water quality or fish habitat in waters directly associated with the Mississippi River between the Little Falls and Sartell dams. Because this, nor any other public grant funds, can be used toward offsetting the lost revenue of the hydroelectric station, he recommended an inflatable cofferdam be placed at the water’s most narrow and shallow point available. The suggested cofferdam is made of tough material and, when inflated with water to its maximum potential, has the ability to hold back up to 12 feet of water. Once placed, after a short drawdown of the dam, water would be
pumped from the lake into the river, creating the temporary drawdown for Little Rock Lake. The purchase of the dam, diesel generator, pumps and fuel is an estimated $195,000 to $220,000 and could be funded through the DNR, private donations and other available grants. “We should plan for 2018, consider riparian improvements as part of the plan, select planting areas, arrange the coffer installation site, decide on a date for drawdown installation and look to maintain that level for up to 90 days,” Altena said. Altena also suggested Benton County and/or the Little Rock Lake Association look to apply for grants to supplement the existing DNR funding. The lake association intends to hold future meetings to continue to discuss proposals and plans before going further. One drawback of the cofferdam is the failure to address existing river property problems. Although only about half of the returned postcard and online surveys from river residents were in favor of a drawdown, the initial proposal aimed at benefitting both the lake and river waters. “Isolating the lake can be challenging. One of the needs is that we have 42 potential property owners on the river who have suggested they have erosion issues,” Altena said. The DNR has performed a Bank Erosion Hazard Index of 18 areas within the Sartell Pool of the Mississippi River. The standardized evaluation identifies high priority areas and can be used by area counties to rank future projects. The intent of the proposed drawdown is to improve water clarity, shoreline stability, and fish and wildlife habitat in Little Rock Lake and its surrounding waters. Over the course of the last century, the lake has continually lost plant life, leading to increased erosion and a reduction of processed nutrients. The lake suggests high phosphorus and nitrogen levels and has recorded Secchi (water clarity) depth levels of less than one foot in late summer.

One arrested in ATV theft
FOLEY – A St. Cloud man was arrested for allegedly fleeing police and being in possession of a stolen ATV Nov. 10. Jessie Allen Tolmie, 23, fled law enforcement after being questioned by a Benton County Sheriff’s Deputy who was on routine patrol. The deputy witnessed Tolmie driving an ATV illegally around 11 a.m. on Benton County Road 3, just north of the intersection of Benton County 4. Tolmie pulled into a residence (which the deputy was familiar with) where he was questioned why he had stopped and why he was in the area. The officer determined the ATV was not registered to Tolmie and called the owner to verify its possession. The owner verified the ATV had been stolen sometime within the last few hours.
As the deputy was engaged in conversation with the ATV’s owner, Tolmie fled on foot. The deputy initiated a foot pursuit; however Tolmie soon disappeared into the grass and woods in the area. A perimeter was established and a K-9 unit from the Sauk Rapids Police Department was called to the scene. Tolmie was located one mile west of Popple Creek on County Road 3 the same day at approximately 3:40 p.m. The stolen ATV was returned to the owner. He was taken into custody without incident and is awaiting charges of possession of stolen property and fleeing a police officer on foot. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Sauk Rapids Police Department, Rice Police Department and Minnesota State Patrol.
COTTAGE GROVE — A former Sauk Rapids-Rice coach and her dance team received a generous donation this fall. The Sauk Rapids Dance Team (SRDT) and its booster club donated their previous kick uniforms to a growing program miles away. Heidi Karbon, who led the SRDT in their inaugural 2001 season and six additional years, now lives and coaches in Cottage Grove.
dancers this year alone. Because the AAA program was not prepared for growth and has a small booster budget, families were stressed to find the means to buy uniforms. So the Storm stepped up. They donated 23 kick uniforms worth an estimated $2,500. “Sauk Rapids could have easily sold these uniforms to another team for a profit to apply towards new uniforms of their own, but
stress off the small booster club parents at Cottage Grove Park High School and left the dancers feeling extremely excited to know they would have nice uniforms to compete in. The Park Dance Team couldn't believe a team they never met would be so generous,” Karbon said. The SRDT replaces their uniforms every year. Varsity uniforms are cycled down to junior varsity before finding new homes. The boost-

If we can help another team, we will.”
Board limits open enrollment
by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – The Sauk Rapids-Rice School Board took action on open enrollment during their Nov. 14 meeting. Superintendent Dr. Daniel Bittman spoke to the board regarding different grade levels at Pleasantview and Mis-
sissippi Heights Elementary Schools and the board approved closing enrollment for third, fourth and fifth grades at Pleasantview and fourth grade a Mississippi Heights. “Those grade levels are filled to capacity, but Rice still has room if we get requests in,” Bittman said. The board evaluates open enrollment each month.
If buildings and grade levels are at capacity, they will close enrollment at that grade level and building for the remainder of the school year. “Enrollment may be open for these grades at the start of the next school year, if space is available,” Bittman said. In other school board news: • Bittman conducted the last of the listening sessions surrounding the facilities study, as well as offering a tour of Pleasantview. Bittman stated that recommendations
will be posted on the district website. • The board approved the audit report following a presentation from Janel Bitzan of Bergan KDV. Bittman congratulated the board on having lower tax rates than most school districts in the state for two years in a row, as well as spending less per student than the state average. Bittman mentioned the heavy investment in staff this year and that a change will be noticed in the next audit.

Granite City Lumberjack forward Owen Sikich scored his tenth goal of the season against New Ulm Nov. 12 at Sports Arena East. Sikich leads the team in goals.
Bowlers are New Ulm falls to Jacks 7-3 state-bound by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
The Granite City Lumberjacks continue to spread the wealth amongst their team members, scoring seven goals by seven different players Saturday night. The Jacks ran away from the Steel at Sports Arena East Nov. 12 and won the game 7-3. Owen Sikich was the first on board as he scored his tenth goal of the season. Much like many before, Sikich drove the puck toward net before firing and beating New Ulm’s Nathan Siclovan. He was unassisted on the play. Sikich was followed by another Lumberjack goal from Jack Petroske. But the 2-0 lead was cut short when New Ulm’s Cory Martinez and Jared Erickson scored on Granite City’s Mac Berglove. During the second, the Lumberjacks turned up the heat, spending little time in their own defensive zone. Braden Altena, Brycon Johnson, Matthew Sprink and newcomer Horka Sekesi all scored for the Jacks, ending the period 6-2. As the third period rounded out the
game, Brady Dahl put in another puck for Granite City and with less than two minutes left of play, the Steel’s Sam Wenner scored with no celebration. The Lumberjacks’ assists came from Ryan Smith, William Sprink, Jordan Olson, Andrej Jamnicky, Chase Di Bari, Jack Walter, Sikich and Dahl. New Ulm’s Vincent Billing, Tim O’Connor, Max Kjome, Luc Kreuser and Vitaliy Nosov helped with their three goals. Granite City sat 10 minutes on five infractions; New Ulm six on three. Berglove made 31 saves and Siclovan 34. Breezy Point 4, Granite City 3 (SO) In a nail-biting shootout, the Lumberjacks fell to the North Stars Nov. 10. After three periods of play and a five-minute overtime, the two teams went head-tohead for a series of 10 shootouts before settling the game 4-3, Breezy. Granite City’s Altena was the first player to score during the shootout, but was matched by North Star Nick Blanchette. Following the two goals, both Berglove and the Breezy’s tender Bronson Moore got a workout. They
deflected a combined 17 shots on net before Breezy Point’s Ryan Higgins put one past Berglove to end the game. Moore saved a total of 42 of 45 shots on goal during the 65-plus-minute play and Berglove 46 of 49. A d d i t i o n a l l y, A l t e n a scored a goal and assist on the night. Teammates Smith and Sikich both put a puck past Moore, and Jamnicky and Olson both tallied assists. On the Breezy Point bench, Cody Butcher, Drake Hill and Tristyn Sabina scored goals. They were assisted in play by Matej Krasny, Steven Kukla, Austin Langworthy, Josh Laven, Blanchette and Higgins. Each had one. The penalty box was full throughout play. Breezy Point sat 48 minutes on 11 infractions, including a 20-minute penalty for abuse of an official by Hill. The Lumberjacks had eight infractions, 24 minutes. The Lumberjacks take on the central division’s North Iowa Bulls Friday and Saturday at home. The Bulls are 16-2-0 and the Jacks 9-23. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. both evenings.

A promising season by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
High school athletes often dream of making it to the state competition. For the 2015-16 Storm’n Sabres girls hockey team, that dream became a reality. Marty Anderson has been coaching the team for eight years and is excited for the promising season ahead. “We have a good team again this year,” Anderson said. “We lost a couple of key players from the state tournament, but we have some girls moving up to take on those roles.” Clare Minnerath was the team’s main goalie, starting for the team for three seasons. “She was one of those players who gave it her all, all the time,” Anderson said. “We will miss her this season, but Chloe Stockinger and Madison DeMarias are looking like good goalies for us. One of our biggest concerns right now is getting our goalies experienced.”

ST. CLOUD — St. Cloud State University senior cross country runner Sam Sunstrom, of Sauk Rapids, earned a selection to the Division II All-Region Team. Sunstrom placed seventh overall at the NCAA Division II Central Regional in Sioux Falls, S.D. Nov. 5 to earn the distinction. Sunstrom's seventh place finish was the best of her career. She had a time of 20:47.24 and was among the three top runners at the regional meet that was not part of one of the three automatic qualifying teams (University of Mary, Minnesota Duluth and Southwest Baptist) to earn a place in nationals for the first time in her career. Sunstrom has placed in the top 10 in all six races this season. A total of 392 studentathletes (198 men and 194 women) from 136 schools earned the distinction by finishing among the top 25 individual finishers at one of the eight regional sites across the country. The Northern Sun
The team also lost Amanda Flemming and Kaelyn Szymanski. “They were good team players too,” Anderson said. Despite the loss, the team has a good returning core, as well as a large group of sophomores joining the team. Brooke Walters and Bria Ferns are the two top returning forwards. Megan Mohr and Megan Cook are the two top returning defensemen. Bre Hess and Allie Hemmesch will also be adding to the team. “We have a group of hardworking girls,” Anderson said. “They are really excited to get the season started. The team has a great work ethic and put forth their best effort on the ice. Captains Mohr, Molly Mahold and Hess, along with Anderson and the coaching staff, will lead the team of 19 Sabres and 11 Storm players into their first game of the season, Nov. 15 in Rogers.
