How do you plan to address it? Every district is faced with the responsibility of educating our students for jobs in a future that we can't even imagine. That puts before us an incredibly challenging opportunity. By supporting those programs and teachers who are innovative and really think outof-the-box. Encourage online opportunities such as a Skype that we do with a sister classroom in China, these kind of experiences connect our students to a larger world. Offer students real life experiences that give them with job skills, such as job shadowing. Offer courses that expose students to vocational skills that could apply in the work setting.

it is our job to listen. I think that is incredibly important at this point in our district with growth, looking at our facilities and having just recently done a study. As the data collected is presented to the community at-large it is essential that the school board hear the thoughts of the community. Encourage parent/community involvement in education at any level. We have amazing opportunities beginning with the early childhood center where families learn together, the WatchDOG program in our elementary schools where father figures spend the day in school walking hallways and helping in the classrooms. It makes a difference in the entire building. Playing cards or chess, reading to a class...the opportunities are endless and I would like to welcome and invite anyone in the community to come and spend the day and marvel at the bright energetic children we have active in our district everything all day.
In your opinion, what is an area that the district faces challenges with? How do you plan to address it? One of the biggest areas of challenges for the district is the overcrowding of our classrooms and more specifically, general overcrowding of MHES.

The 10-year student population forecast predicts steady increases and although the middle and high schools will be able to accommodate the student population growth, our elementary schools will not and are now at or above design capacity. The Community Facilities Task Force has reviewed SRR population growth and the condition of facilities and made recommendations. Their findings are posted on the district web site at http://www.isd47.org/aboutsrr/ facilities-study. Readers should consider attending a community information session on Oct. 24 or Nov. 10.

example, all school districts are funded differently, which means that every district receives a different level of funding from the State of Minnesota for its children. Because school districts receive different levels of funding, they are limited in the amount and type of programming and opportunities they can offer for our children. I believe that all children should have equal opportunities and access, regardless of the level of funding received. This is a topic which I think needs to be addressed in the legislature and one in which I will continue to advocate for and address.

Lastly, when looking at a graduation rate of almost 95 percent, you have to ask yourself how can we do better? You always strive for 100 percent, but what more can we do for our students? The simple answer is preparation. Whether it is for workforce, trade school, traveling abroad, military or the university, we can further prepare our students for success for their own path in life.

We have successfully implemented our three-phase Increased Access and Opportunity through Technology Initiative. This was specifically important for our secondary students, which was why they were the first group of students to receive a 1:1 device. While in college, our students will be expected to collaborate with their peers, research and turn in assignments electronically.

I support continued progress on:“PATH of the Storm” that celebrates good citizenship; Inquiry Based Learning program at Rice Elementary; “Teaching teams” at the Middle School to meet student needs; high school initiative to graduate those students most likely to drop out; Adult Basic Education program that increases lifelong earning potential; and Early Childhood Family Education programs that give parents support skills. I believe three high priority items are: addressing crowding at our elementary schools through improved facilities and evaluating open enrollment; implementing physical changes to our buildings to improve security; and continuing to improve student mental and physical health opportunities.
Two arrested on drug charges
ST. CLOUD—The Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force have arrested two central Minnesota men facing charges of possession and intent to sell. St. Cloud resident Bobby Kimple, 51, was arrested Oct. 13 following a search on the 1200 block of 13th Avenue North. Officers located five and a half grams of methamphetamine and one gram of heroin, as well as several items believed to have been stolen. Kimple had outstanding warrants for fifth degree controlled substance crimes at the time of the event, and he is facing new charges of fifth degree possession and fifth degree possession with intent to sell. Kimple was transported to the Stearns County Jail. One day earlier, task force members made an arrest of 38-year-old Stephen Burke, of Little Falls. Officers conducting the search warrant found Burke at his home on the 1000 block of Tenth Street NW, sitting at the kitchen table and packaging a large amount of marijuana allegedly for resale purposes. The task force located two and a half pounds of marijuana, 23 grams of marijuana wax and approximately $2,500 in U.S. currency. Burke was taken to the Morrison County Jail and booked on fifth degree possession and fifth degree possession with intent to sell. The CMVOTF is comprised of officers from the Sauk Rapids, Little Falls and St. Cloud Police Departments along with deputies from Stearns, Morrison, Benton, Todd and Sherburne Counties.

Discussing firemen’s issues Kwik Trip gives back Lakes Area
Firefighters Association meets in Sauk Rapids by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Eight area legislators gathered with 76 members of the Lakes Area Firefighters Association Oct. 17 at the Sauk Rapids VFW Post No. 6992 to discuss firefighters’ concerns on a number of issues. One of the biggest concerns is health insurance coverage in conjunction with the cancer epidemic. Senator Jerry Relph felt he could relate to the concern. “I am a Vietnam vet dealing with Agent Orange issues currently,” Relph said. “I can relate to your concern and as a senator, I will push this issue forward.” Representative Jeff Howe brought up the flame retardant bill, which banned 10 chemicals and questioned six others. He also mentioned the hometown heroes bill, which modifies “killed in the line of duty” for purposes of awarding ben-

efits to the survivors of public safety officers who are perish during service. “I agree with my other legislators here on the concern of this issue,” said Representative Jim Knoblach. “I am willing to work with firefighters to become more educated on your concerns and issues and make your position safer.” Other issues discussed: • The issue of unused funds in the fire safety account being relocated to a general fund was brought up. Many of the legislators stood for leaving the funds in the fire safety account. “If you promise funds to a certain area, they should stay there,” said Representative
Jim Newberger. “If there are funds dedicated to fire safety issues, they are going to stay with the firefighters. I’ll make sure those funds stay where they belong.” Knoblach agreed, stating the funds should be used for what they’re dedicated for. • The question of training local first responders to help in railroad emergencies was brought up. Many of the legislators on the panel supported it, but want to learn more. “I want to learn more about the railroad officials teaching the first responders,” Knoblach said. “But we certainly need to know what we’re dealing with and I fully support the training.” •An association member
brought up a request for additional lighting on personal vehicles in which volunteer firefighters may use to respond to fires. He mentioned possibly strobe lights in the headlights and taillights, which would help with safety on scene. Legislators and personnel from the State Fire Marshal’s office then discussed the possibilities, as well as the question of insurance coverage for using personal vehicles when responding to fires. The Fire Marshal stated coverage under the state statute when driving directly to and from the fireman’s home to the fire, with no alternate routes or stops.

Frank Schwegel, owner of the Shell gas station along Second Avenue South, agreed with Ehlert’s concerns. Schwegel was in favor of the project but hopes careful planning and thought it put into the project before proceeding. He stressed that he doesn’t want to see his gas station shut down for an entire summer again similar to when improvements were made to Benton Drive in years past. He also stated there was no room for a sidewalk on his property, but Wotzka explained sidewalks need to be built and designed to adhere to new American Disabilities Act standards.

RICE — Residents and business people within the city of Rice have an opportunity to become more involved. The city of Rice has several openings on various boards and commissions which make recommendations to the city council. Each committee meets once a month. Interested parties can contact city hall or visit http://cityofrice.com for an application. Appointments will be made for terms beginning January 2017. The city is looking to fill the following open positions: - Two openings on the Planning and Zoning Commission.

SAUK RAPIDS — A project that will improve Second Avenue South will progress after a motion from the Sauk Rapids City Council Oct. 11, but not without questions. The proposed plan is to replace the infrastructure of sewer and storm water, replace the road and enhance the feel of the downtown area per the city’s plan. A public hearing was held at Tuesday’s meeting and a handful of residents addressed the council with their concerns. Second Avenue South resident Dan Ehlert questioned the city regarding assessment fees for decorative lighting. He questioned why property owners are assessed for street lighting which benefits the entire community and addressed his concern with cost. According to the feasibility study presented at a September meeting, the cost for one decorative lighting pole is an estimated $9,000 and the city plans on installing 27 poles in various areas of the project area. Total cost of the street lighting is approximately $243,000. City engineer Terry Wotzka was hopeful this amount would decrease as the project moves further and reiterated that the decision to use decorative lighting in downtown projects began with the Sauk

The plan is to execute the project in 2017 using funds by Municipal State Aid funds, sales tax and utility funds, with completion by the end of October. In other council news: • Approved a memorandum to commit funds for the upgrades of Sports Arena East by the Benton County Fairgrounds Arena Association. The fairgrounds association hopes to upgrade the concession and bathrooms area, allowing bathroom accessibility from both the inside and outside of Sports Arena East dependent upon the events happening at that time. The bathrooms could be secured from the inside or outside in respect to those particular events. Subject of the availability of half cent sales tax revenue, the city committed $250,000 to the project payable over three annual installments beginning no sooner than 2019.

They learned to keep their guard up the whole game and fight to the last second.” Gage Dooley threw a couple of long passes in the first quarter, but the team remained scoreless. The Storm kicked their determination into gear in the second quarter. Camdin Carlson-Mathies put the Storm on the board with a 43-yard run into the end zone, outrunning four Apollo defenders to make it happen. Nathan Waldorf followed suit before the half, catching a 25-yard pass from Cade Milton-Baumgardner in the end zone. The offense fell short of the end zone early in the third quarter, but Tommy Wittowski kicked in a 20-yard field goal. Braden Tretter had a shining moment as cornerback when the Apollo quarterback threw a pass to the receiver Tretter was blocking. Instead of landing in his opponent’s hands, Tretter made the catch, returning it 20 yards to the end zone for a Storm defensive touchdown. The fourth quarter brought a 22-yard pass to Koby Thelen for the team’s final touchdown of the game. Overall, the team racked

Willmar. Whether we win or lose that game can make a huge difference in our seeding.”

Blizzard upset Lumberjacks by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
The Alexandria Blizzard skated away with two wins in a weekend series against the Granite City Lumberjacks. The Blizzard upset the Jacks, who led the NA3HL’s West Division heading into the weekend, with a 4-0 shutout Oct. 14 at Sports Arena East and 4-3 overtime win on their home ice Oct. 15. Alexandria Blizzard 4, Granite City Lumberjacks 3 The Lumberjacks looked to set the tone of the Saturday night game at Alexandria’s Runestone Community Center, but the pace changed by the end of the third and the Blizzard ended with an over-
time win 4-3. Granite City pulled ahead by three before the first half of the first period Oct. 15. Forward Tucker Bjorlin added the first point to the scoreboard with help from Casey Esselman and Matthew Sprink. Following Bjorlin’s goal, Owen Sikich scored an unassisted goal. Sikich leads the Lumberjacks with points thus far this season. He was followed by a power play score by Will Mix. Mix was assisted by Braden Altena and Cole Buhl. Before the end of the first, Alexandria got on board with a goal by Emil Lindfors. Blizzard’s Jack Cernohous and Caleb Anderson assisted him on the play. There was no scoring during the second, but the
Blizzard chipped away at the Lumberjack lead during the third. Connor Busse (assisted by Anderson, Lindfors) scored a power play goal at nine minutes in followed by Lindfors (Logan Nelson, Cernohous) second goal of the night to tie the game. The Jacks and Blizzard entered overtime and Anderson (Connor Nilson, Brenden Payne) scored for Alexandria, ending the game 4-3 Blizzard. Granite City goalie Mac Berglove saved 41 of 45 shots on goal from the Blizzard. Alexandria’s Brey Effertz 21 of 24. The Blizzard sat 30 minutes on 11 infractions; the
Jacks 20 on 10. Alexandria Blizzard 4, Granite City Lumberjacks 0 Granite City fell in a home ice shutout Friday night.

The Blizzard continued to keep the puck in their zone for the majority of the game, outshooting the Jacks 36-19. During the second, Alex-
