Storm water fee formula available for future
by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
RICE — The city of Rice passed its storm water ordinance at Monday’s city council meeting. Due to the size and nature of the ordinance, it will not be published in its entirety and is available to the public at city hall. Council member Brian Skroch brought to the council’s attention that although the planning commission has no intention of charging storm water fees at this time, the new ordinance provides a
working formula to use if they ever so choose. Currently, storm water costs are charged through the regular water utility bills. The cost of maintenance is taken from the general public works fund. Because storm water maintenance and needs have increased due to environmental aspects over the years, many municipals are separating storm water fees from traditional sewer in order to determine, in detail, where tax dollars are being spent, said Rice City Engineer Mike Rardin. Skroch told the
council the next step before charging a fee would be to record maintenance hours used for storm water utilities to see how much of the public works dollars are being spent specifically on storm water issues. In other council news: • Brad Savola addressed the council requesting speed limit signs to be posted in the rural residential area of 42nd Street and 121st Street. The streets currently have no signs posted. Savola believes signs would, at least, bring awareness of the speed limit. Savola had spoken with Rice Police
Chief Ross Hamman prior to the request and Savola said the chief told him the area was considered a 30 mph speed zone. After a small discussion about where to place the signs and cost, the council approved to place two or three signs along the two streets, leaving Hamann in charge of numbers and location. • Rice City Assessor Traci Balder informed the council she would be Ànishing her contract through Feb. 1, 2017, but would no longer be working with the city thereafter.
Balder’s letter stated new endeavors as her reason for termination. • Rardin informed the council that if they choose to proceed on the street paving project on Second Avenue NE next spring, they should consider issuing a survey of the area this fall because information can sometimes take up to 90 days. Council member Chris Scheel said if the city plans on redoing the street it would most likely take place

A handmade tradition “I got my Hogwarts letter” Magwire makes grandchildren’s costumes Gerads receives long-term scholarship
by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Natalie Gerads, 13, has long imagined herself roaming the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the likes of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. As she has grown up, Gerads has read the Harry Potter series, as well as countless other books. But Harry Potter is her favorite. “It’s not just a fantasy to her,” said Shelby Chollett, Natalie’s Language Arts teacher. “She always reads in between the lines and recognizes what J.K. Rowling really means through her characters.” A world similar to Hogwarts has come to Gerads, as she was recently recognized as a Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar. The scholarship provides endless opportunities for her from now through the end of high school with the

SAUK RAPIDS — When the calendar rolls to October, most children begin thinking about reinventing themselves for the dress-up holiday, Halloween. They might page through ad Áiers, search the internet or simply use their imagination. But some lucky children don’t have to wonder at all. Those, like Lily and Kellan Rogholt already know. That’s because their planning begins months in advance with help from Grandma. Grandma Sara Magwire has been handmaking their costumes ever since they were born. “It came out of nowhere. Halloween was coming and I thought wouldn’t it be fun to make Lily a costume? The costumes at the stores just weren’t what I envisioned
her in. I felt we could do better,” Magwire said. “After the Àrst year, we got caught up in the excitement and decided we needed to do it again.” Originally, Magwire began sewing in grade school, learning from her mother. She continued to dabble with the needle and thread through home economics classes, but didn’t really pick up the trade until her skills were needed to adjust dance outÀts for her daughter Megan. But Magwire’s Àrst costuming experience came later still, when Megan, a dance instructor in college,
enlisted her mother’s help for a production of Peter and the Wolf. “That was really the Àrst time I went full-out and designed costumes,” Magwire said. “Each of the principal characters had to have their own and there were none for purchase to be found.” Magwire executed the costumes conÀdently and creatively, so when her granddaughter Lily, now 11, was born it wasn’t out of the ordinary for her to decide

What’s Happening
Magwire continued from front_______________ to take on the project. The Àrst year Lily was a lamb. “It’s all in the details,” Magwire said of her costumes. “There are patterns out there for just about anything you could want, but I like to go one little step — or two, or three or four — beyond that. I think the attention to detail and all the little extras are what make them more special.” For instance, Lily the lamb needed a bell. The process of hand-making the children’s costumes begins early in the summer as the three collectively decide a feasible costume idea. Then Magwire goes to work; tapping into her creative side, searching for fabrics and patterns, and planning her execution. “Generally speaking, I pretty much know what I want,” Magwire said. “I will look on the internet for ways others have done it, but usually have a basic idea.” Although Magwire will visit the craft and sewing stores in the area and in Minneapolis, she sometimes goes a bit farther to Ànd the fabrics she desires — like ordering ideal fabric from China or buying out-of-print patterns on Ebay. Then as Halloween
inches closer, Magwire works endlessly on completing the pieces, blindfolding the kids during Àttings before the big reveal. “They always like it and are always so appreciative,” Magwire said. Each year the children have decided on costumes which complement each other. Although they are growing older, they are still content to dress up as pairs. They have dressed up as Luke and Leia from Star Wars; Elsa and Kristoff from Frozen; Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf; the Pirate and the Princess; Tinkerbell and Peter Pan; Toy Story’s Woody and Jessi; and the Princess and the Frog. Years before Kellan was born, Lily’s costumes included a princess on a carousel horse, Minnie Mouse and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. This year the two will be Belle and the Beast from none other than Beauty and the Beast. “They all are,” Magwire said when asked what project has been the most fun. “Every single one of them is fun. For me, besides the experience of sewing them, I enjoy seeing how happy the children are with the costume. I really enjoy putting all the extra details in. Fabrics are readily avail-

Gerads continued from front____________________ “This opens up a whole new world for her.” This scholarship was awarded to Gerads and her family with some criteria – good grades in school, a Ànancial strain in her family and the desire to dream big. The application and interview process is similar to a college application, which included recommendation letters from her teachers. “We had no problem Àlling out the forms and doing the letters,” said Ruth Beniek, Natalie’s math teacher. “She is able to innovate, collaborate and work well with others. She asks great questions in class and is a great example for her peers.” Gerads also had to write essays, one of which she wrote surrounding Harry Potter. “The series is so inspirational,” Gerads said. “One of my favorite quotes is Albus Dumbledore’s ‘happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.’ I wrote one of my essays about that quote and how it has impacted my life.” She says that quote resonates with her because of all the things her and her family
have been through. Her stepdad suffered a brain injury and shattered his dominant hand in an accident in 2010, followed by her brother sustaining permanent injuries in a school bus versus pedestrian accident in 2013. Gerads has also lost a number of extended family members. “She’s had to endure a lot, more than a child should,” Chollett said. “No one would know she’s gone through these things because she never talks about it.” Through this scholarship, Gerads will have the opportunity to participate in whatever extracurricular activities interest her. She will also be given the privilege of choosing any high school and college in the country that she would like to attend. In addition, they will provide Gerads with a computer and Internet access if needed. “Natalie has always held the philosophy of dreaming big,” said Dr. Nate Rudolph, Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School principal. “She will be able to achieve all of her goals and dreams now. This is such a special door that has opened for her and she is so deserving
of it.” The scholarship program will also provide other learning experiences for Gerads. “One kid got to spend the day with the President of the United States in the Oval OfÀce, kids get to go to the NASA building, go to Australia for science research and so much more,” Gerads said. “I’m excited to hopefully have an opportunity to do something with science. I would love to study abroad for literature too. I’m so thankful that I have these opportunities available to me.” Boedigheimer agrees. “This is a huge win for her and there are so many opportunities that have opened up because of this,” she said. “It’s amazing because she has the opportunity to be more. I can’t imagine having this sitting in my hands at age 13.” Gerads is the Àrst Sauk Rapids-Rice student to receive the scholarship. Rudolph is excited to see how this paves the way for future students. “Having a student from here that has received this is a great platform for the future,” he said. “Natalie has been such a great mentor for other students, so when they see what
she’s accomplished, they can see that anything is possible.” Gerads is already planning to participate in more activities, but wants to learn more about her opportunities to expand her knowledge. “I am very excited and I want to learn what’s all out there. I don’t have any boundaries anymore. I can do anything and it’s caused me to go outside my bubble,” Gerads said. “I got my Hogwarts letter and now I want to see what it holds.”

OPINION
Waking up on the right side of the bed
With seven of us, for no apparent reason other than the love of sleep, someone is bound to wake up a crabby patty. As I slowly adapted to waking up this morning, I noticed one of us was unusually and easily angered. I won't say who, but everything that was wrong was being pointed out and even if I didn’t know it was wrong, well...now I do. After a quick prayer my instinct By Mercy Nygaard kicked in to start killing with kindness. Life by Faith Truthfully, that’s not my instinct and in the past, I would respond by killing with putting on my boxing gloves and saying “Alright, let’s do this.” “Don't forget the gift,” I said while hurriedly wrapping with tissue paper the gift for his coworker and placing it in the bag. “Have a great day at work,” I said as he grabbed his coffee containers. Oops, did I just give away who the crankster was? I squeezed the words out “I love you” as the outside door was shutting behind him. As I pulled up to the school and rolled to a stop to let the kids out, my phone rang and I saw the morning party pooper was calling. So I put it on speaker and said, “Hey guys say bye to Dad.” “Bye Dad, I love you, I love you,” little voices rang as they were hopping out of the van. After he said bye he asked if while I was out, I could pick up some job materials for him and run them out to the job. Gladly I accepted. The sharp tone in his voice all morning softened and that’s when I realized my tiny quick prayer to help turn his frown upside down was being heard. What better way to relieve a serious case of the crabbies than to serve. God was giving me the opportunity to serve my husband in a tangible way that he needed in that moment. Never underestimate the length of a prayer, the important thing is that you always seek Him Àrst. I need to remember this when my preteen is grumping it up through changing hormones and when my toddler is stomping around from whatever it is that makes toddlers stomp “ahem” everything. It’s so obvious now when I think of it. Usually I am the uptight, short-tempered and grumpy nay-sayer. When my family serves me, I break every time, realizing everything is just Àne. When I was leaving the jobsite, he charged me with bringing them all lunch, and I could tell that this was going to be the icing on the cake. Sometimes people need tough love when they are unusually cranky and other times you have to drop what you’re doing, kill your pride and win someone over. That day is today and I’m so thankful I woke up on the right side of the bed, so I can give back a little of what he does for me so often. If only I was better with time management because I’m going to be a little later than promised. Gotta go, it’s time to serve!

Addressing the need Adamski raises money for new boat by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Witnesses scream as a young adult stands atop a bridge. When the person jumps, landing several hundred feet below in the swirling waters of the Mississippi River, help is called. Local responders arrive on scene, pushing their boat out onto the water, rushing to get to the victim before they are swept under. They make it to the person, but it takes several minutes and a lot of physical labor. When 16-year-old Madelyn Adamski heard this story she decided to help the Sauk Rapids Fire Department get a better boat. “I was at the Benton County Fair in 2015, hanging out with my dad and his fellow ÀreÀghters when I heard them talking about a recent call on the river, where they had to Àght against the current to help a victim,” she said. “I knew something had to be done.” “The boats we have get the job done, but they are underpowered,” said Jason, Madelyn’s dad. “For what we have around here, we need something that will go through pretty much everything – ice, snow, rapids, shallow waters, swamps –
and get the victim back on shore safely.” The new airboat will have a Áat bottom, an above water fan, additional seating and a more powerful motor inside a metal cage. “It will be much better than their current boats,” Madelyn said. As she left the fairgrounds that night, she asked Jason about helping the department acquire the boat they need. “I never put anything past her. She sticks to what she says she will do, no matter the task,” Jason said. “I threw a number of $50,000 at her and she didn’t bat an eye. She wanted to give it a shot.” Madelyn has worked hard ever since then. She surpassed the Àrst goal of $50,000 and Jason set a second goal of $75,000. “We’ve passed that now too,” Madelyn said. “We have $77,106 raised, but we are still accepting donations.” While Madelyn says raising the money was a lot of work, she recognizes the need it will fulÀll. “The department is pretty excited for the boat because it’s something we really need,” Jason said. The Sauk Rapids Fire Department has formed a building committee, including seven ÀreÀghters and Madelyn, to get the process started now that the Ànancial goal has been reached. The committee is currently researching and feeling out which builder will

be the best Àt. Once they make that decision, they will sketch a design and send it to be built. “We are expecting the boat to take six to 12 months to build,” Jason said. “Our Àre trucks take two years to build, so that’s our rough estimate. The public has taken a strong liking to making this happen. A lot of people are realizing that a boat of that caliber needs to be in this area.” Madelyn is excited to move to the next step in the process. “It’s been great to see the public’s response to this and I think the Àremen are excited about it too,” she said. “I’m glad we got our message across efÀciently and the public responded to the need.”

Storm shuts out Sabres by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
The Storm girls soccer team defeated Sartell, one of their biggest rivals, Sept. 29. The Storm shutout the Sabres 4-0. “I’m very proud of the girls. We Ànally showed what we are capable of on the Àeld,” said captain Tianna Koenig. “I’m also proud we have such a respectful team and established great sportsmanship after our game.” Emma Plemel provided two of the team’s goals, scoring one in the opening minutes of each half. Chloe Stockinger added the other two goals to round out the scoring. Sydney Plemel earned the shutout in the net, making six saves for the Storm. Coach Kris Fremo feels changing game tactics contributed to the win. The teamfocused more on defending during practices over the course of the past week. “We didn’t spend a lot of time attacking on our end, but just scoring when we had the opportunity. We were comfortable and played more of our style of soccer,” Fremo said. “We really had an opportunity to play to our potential and it had a great outcome for us. The girls were really excited and it was a big deal for them.” The girls are 7-5 on the season and they take on St. Cloud Tech Oct. 4. “I feel the results of this game pump us up for our game against Tech,” Koenig said. “We made a statement on the Àeld against Sartell that shows if we put 100 percent out mentally and physically, we’ll Ànd our way to success. I think we will win against the Tigers, I really do.”
Storm fall to Tech 59-7 by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
Dressed in green and gold attire, fans and students packed the stands Sept. 30 for Storm football’s homecoming game. The fans screamed and cheered all night long, despite the Storm’s 59-7 loss. “It was packed and that made it fun,” said head coach Phil Klaphake. “The student section was especially loud and engaged. They never left, even when we weren’t playing at our best Having them there gave us the extra energy we needed to keep playing.” The crowd got especially loud when Gage Dooley ran into the end zone, followed by an extra point kick from Tommy Wittowski, to put the Storm on the board in the third quarter. Overall, the team had 126 passing yards and 50 rushing yards during the game. Braden Tretter was the highlighted receiver for the Storm, receiving a total of 52 yards in Àve attempts. Daunte Keller was also a key receiver, catching four passes with a total of 48 yards, including one 32-yard reception. The team will take on the Sabres in Sartell Oct. 7 to continue their season, followed by St. Cloud Apollo Oct. 14 and Willmar Oct. 19. “I’m expecting my team to play as best as they can,” Klaphake said. “In the meantime, we will focus on execution and depth, among other things, in practice. Ultimately, I’d

SAUK RAPIDS – Sauk Rapids-Rice has long celebrated student and alumni accomplishments, and the Oct. 1 SRRHS Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony was no different. “We are here to honor the school’s legacy and history today through these four Àne individuals,” said Erich Martens, principal of the SRRHS. Walt Seiler (’56), Jason Timmer (’04), Sheila (Gadway) Grambart (’89) and the late Robert “Bob” Bogert were inducted as the class of 2016. Grambart, Seiler and The junior class sacks senior quarterback Brooke Helget Timmer spoke of their time (center) during the homecoming powder puff football game at the high school, while Sept. 28.
Bogert’s son, Dave, and friend, Pete Robinet gave speeches on the former coach’s behalf. “He was the Àrst person to coach three sports in one year,” Robinet said. “He was passionate about everything he did, but always focused on the athletes.” Perseverance was a strong topic of discussion, particularly for Grambart. During her time in high school, Grambart suffered a torn ACL, a torn MCL and two knee injuries. “She didn’t want any part of ending her high school athletic career,” said Ben Miller, Grambart’s former coach. “She played all the way through her senior year, showcasing her physical talent and toughness, as well as her leadership.”
Grambart said her character got her through more than just high school athletics. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. “My competitive nature got me through that. I kept counting down ‘only two more weeks and I can go watch my kids play,’ or ‘only three more days and I can do this or that,’” she said. “They say laughter is the best medicine, but for me, it was competition, and it has been that way for a long time.” Rounding out the ceremony’s speeches, Trent Ziegler introduced Jason Timmer. “My Àrst memory of

Lumberjacks ax Blizzard 2-1 by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
Granite City defeated the Alexandria Blizzard 2-1 Oct. 1 after a game littered with penalties and scrappy play by both teams. The Blizzard sat 21 minutes on Àve infractions while the Lumberjacks, 22 on seven. Alexandria scored the Àrst goal after three minutes of play. The Blizzard’s Brett Meister accrued the point with assists from Nick Lucas and Tony Haley. Granite City got on board when defenseman Brandon Baker made a play from above the faceoff circle that would bank the puck into the net off of teammate Will Mix. Mix tallied the power play goal with assists from Baker and Spencer Nelson. In the second period, Lumber-

The Sauk Rapids-Rice volleyball team not only won last week but they made it look easy while doing it. The Storm didn’t allow either opponent, Fergus Falls or St. Cloud Apollo, to score 20 points in any set as they romped to two Central Lakes Conference wins. “Those were matches I expected us to win. We came out focused and took it to them,” said head coach Dave Anderson. “We played very well against Fergus Falls and Apollo.” They defeated St. Cloud Apollo 25-12, 25-10, 25-18 in St. Cloud on Thursday. It was the team’s fourth straight win. The team started the season with a 1-4 record, but have now won seven out of nine. “Early on we were playing a lot of new players. People are playing well together and feeling conÀdence in their ability,” Anderson said. “We are getting the kinks worked out and being more consistent passing and serving.” SRR was also tremendous at the net against the Eagles. They had nine blocks, including four from Angela Konz and three from Soleil Newland. “Our front row and defense played well,” Anderson. “They couldn’t get past our blockers.” Junior Bailey Becker was the Storm’s biggest offensive threat against Apollo. She Ànished with 12 kills. She also had three ace serves. Staci Meyer was the team leader with 16 set assists and Soleil Newland was terriÀc serving. She was 12-12 with

Jordan Cooper. The Lumberjacks were a man up whenSmith scored off a scrambled slapshot from Casey Esselman to, again, tie the score 2-2. The teams entered overtime on that score. The Lumberjacks and Willmar fought it out to the end of the wire. As Willmar took the ice on a power play, a center ice slap shot from forward Dylan Gast (Dobberstein, Wendorf) sealed the 3-2 OT win for the WarHawks. Mulligan saved 28 of 31 shots on goal while Willmar’s Alex Weissenborn saved 39 of 41. Each team sat 12 minutes on six infractions.

The Storm missed just one out of 68 serves in the three set win. “They were dialed in. I don’t know if I ever had a team that had that high of percentage and good serves,” Anderson said. Meyer had the most attempts and was perfect. She was 23-23 with three aces. Abbey Durray, Haley Reed, Morgan Maselter, Brooke Torvik, Soleil Newland, Konz and Allison Stedje were also perfect serving. “We like to serve very aggressive,” Anderson said. Becker and Maselter led the offensive attack for the Storm. They both had eight kills. Meyer and Reed had 12 set assists and Meyer had Àve digs to lead the way.

The girls swim and dive team fought hard against St. Cloud Tech Sept. 29, resulting in a close 95-87 loss. One noticeable change on the Storm results is the emersion of the divers. Jazmynn Henrickson placed third amongst Àve divers, making it her Àrst top-three Ànish in that event. The team is working on the development of their diving and Henrickson’s bronze placing is a positive sign for what’s to come. The rest of the team continues to have strong swimmers. Anna Lucas claimed two Àrst-place Ànishes during the meet, in the 200 individual medley (IM) and the 100 backstroke. Mya Reinert took two second-place Ànishes, in the 200 yard freestyle and the 100 freestyle. Sabel Omvongkot showcased her talent once again in the 50 yard freestyle race, coming in Àrst. Madi Davis came in third for the 100 butterÁy race. Abigail Tangen found her way into a silver Ànish in the 500 yard freestyle event. Ella Benoit also Ànished strong, taking the top place in the 100 breaststroke. Several of the medley relay teams ÀnPHOTOS BY ANNA SALDANA ished strong as well.

Hall of fame continued from front_______________ Jason was in seventh grade, when he Àrst joined the swim team,” Ziegler said. “He nearly missed qualifying for state in the 500 meter freestyle event, which, looking back, was only the beginning of his athletic accomplishments.” Ziegler talked about Timmer’s time with the swim team, mentoring kids and living with determination. “He broke records everywhere we went,” Ziegler said. “In his junior year, he sustained a shoulder injury, but he was determined to get to the top of the podium. He was in the pool practicing with all of the other kids, solely kicking his feet and pushing through. Despite his injury, he went undefeated that year, up until the state meet. All four inductees remember their importance in team success, more so than their own success. “I feel like I barely did anything during the 2004 state meet,” Timmer said.
“Remember why you play the game. Play for yourself, not for someone else. It should be your decision to participate in athletics”

Accomplishment: Is the secretary of the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School Student Council and a captain of the tennis team. What is your favorite part of student council and why? Watching the council grow together as one throughout the year and developing new friendships and leadership skills. What is the best event you’ve ever been a part of? The best event I’ve been a part of was last spring when we hosted state for student council at SRRHS. It was a lot of planning and work, but it really proved to the council that we can accomplish anything if we all put in the effort, time and energy. What are some other activities you are involved in within school? I am involved in tennis, principals cabinet, Link, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Project for Teens, Yearbook and DECA. What has been your most rewarding high school class to date? Human Anatomy and Physiology. It was a tough course, but it was worth it in the end when we got to see how much we learned while dissecting the fetal pig. What do you look forward to most during your senior year? I look forward the most to just making the best out of all the “lasts” I will be experiencing and continuing to be involved and join more activities/clubs. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? The best advice I’ve ever received was from my parents which is “ Don’t be afraid to explore the world, be open minded and to embrace every experience life gives you.” What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? In my spare time I enjoy playing tennis, being outdoors, traveling, babysitting, and hanging out with friends and family. What are your future plans? My future plans are not set in stone, but I’m thinking about attending the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire for elementary education. Leading the Storm is Sponsored by:
