September National Recovery Month

Anselment overcomes meth addiction

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — When you meet Sarah Anselment, the Àrst thing you notice is her brilliant smile.

The second? Her Áawless skin. The 27-year-old, engaged young woman, expecting her second child, is the furthest thing from a stereotypical meth-head mug shot. But that was not always the case.

Anselment is entering her third year of sobriety from intravenous methamphetamine use after what was nearly a 10-year addiction.

September is National Recovery Month; in the past year, 21.5 million people age 12 and older were classiÀed with substance dependence or abuse, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration. Over 12 million Americans in that same age bracket have admitted to trying meth at least once.

The Àrst hit Anselment was only 14 when she began experiment-

Coffee with a cop answers concerns

SAUK RAPIDS — Community members will be able to meet for one-on-one conversations with Sauk Rapids Police Chief Perry Beise this evening.

Beise will be available from 6-8 p.m. Sept. 22 at the deli within Coborn’s Superstore for a Coffee with a Cop event sponsored by the Metro

Citizens Police Academy and the Sauk Rapids Police Department.

There is no agenda to this event. The police chief and possibly other ofÀcers from the department will be on hand for community members to voice concerns, ask questions and get to know each other.

like them, so I tried it.”

That’s where it began.

“From that point on, I was always on-and-off using drugs,” she said. “Whether that meant mushrooms, meth, weed, drinking…”

After admitting smoking pot to her mother, Anselment was sent to live with her father in Paynesville for a period of time. While staying there, she became friends

with a new group of people.

They introduced Anselment to smoking a bubble — vaporized meth out of a pipe.

“I remember feeling on top of the world,” she said.

“I was ready to party and dance. And it wasn’t bad. It was so fun. It made me feel so alive.”

Although Anselment was smart enough to know better, she said her education

about the harmful effects of illegal drugs did not hinder her experimentation. The effects it had on her psychology and mood seemed to trump anything negative she knew.

“I knew everything about it and I always said I would never shoot up. I was Àne smoking and snorting for some reason. I just did it because it made me feel

good,” Anselment said.

Anselment’s addictions progressed after graduation.

Through a sober pregnancy and broken relationships, she managed to sink deeper into the grips of dependence.

The high she experienced was no longer enough; she wanted to feel higher.

Shooting up “When you reach the shooting world, it is so scary and dangerous. I saw how high they got—where they literally couldn’t move or where the drug was so strong it would make a person orgasm,” Anselment said.

That world intrigued Anselment and she wanted to become a part of it.

“The Àrst time, I was already high on Adderall.

The dealer stuck me with the needle. Immediately I was getting too high — I pissed my pants and my eyes were shaking,” Anselment said. “I told him I was going to die and brushed the needle from my arm and Áung it across the room. I went paralyzed.

The dealer ended up raping me, and I looked over and could see two dudes robbing my purse, but I couldn’t move.”

As an addict, Anselment became enthralled with the feeling of almost dying.

Meth permanently damages the reward pathway and circuitry of the brain. As with other drugs, the body

A wild yard Merediths’ native prairie planting offers year-round beauty

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

RICE — When a person thinks of the perfect lawn, he or she may imagine brightgreen, thick, carpeted turf — the kind where one can lie down and not feel a prickle.

But for one Rice family, their idea was something different.

After moving to a riverfront property over ten years ago, Don and Betsy Meredith, of Rice, sowed three of their four acres of land in

native and natural plantings.

They minimized their yard, but still kept enough traditional lawn to be able to enjoy their home. The acreage surrounding their house is seeded with wildÁowers and native grasses. And it suits them just Àne.

“Betsy and I have always loved birds and wildlife,” Don said. “We knew the native plantings would draw animal life. We also knew it would lessen our impact on the river, but the biggest reason was that I didn’t want to mow four acres of lawn twice a week.”

When the Merediths purchased the plot which overlooks the Mississippi River, it looked nothing like it does today. Rather than the mo-

Rice approves preliminary budget

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

The Rice City Council unanimously approved the preliminary 2017 budget and adopted the resolution for the certiÀcation of the 2017 preliminary levy at the council meeting Sept 20.

The proposed budget would increase $24,252 over the current year’s budget.

This past August, Rice residents received a list of budgetary items provided to the council as a “wish list” from the city’s departments, some of which included necessary repairs to city property.

According to Mayor Dale Rogholt, the only item from the letter which was earmarked as a necessity by the council, at this point in levy discussions, has been the replacement of three furnaces at the Old Village Hall. This expenditure was approved at Monday’s meeting not to exceed $9,100.

Other items the city is considering as it Ànalizes

its 2017 budget by the end of the year are as follows: an additional part-time police ofÀcer and squad car, police department software updates, city building roofing repairs, maintenance and repair funding, comprehensive plans for both the parks and Àre departments, a well repair, and increase to Rice recreation wages and programming.

In other council news: • Adopted a resolution to allow a gambling permit to Rice Women of Today for 2016 Calendar RafÁe.

• Approved the resignation of Rice Recreation Manager Warren Ellingworth.

• Approved the hiring posting of the Rice Recreation Manager. This is a part-time position with a salary of $3,600 to $4,200.

• Approved the hiring of Sentencing to Service for refurbishing of the city’s Àre hydrants as needed.

• Approved replacing all city shop lights to LED not to exceed $840.

LOCAL NEWS

Meredith continued from front________________ saic of color and texture, the land was overgrown with invasive species, such as buckthorn, and other troublesome vegetation like sumac and poison ivy.

“It was thick, overgrown, dense…it was a jungle. When you came out here you could barely see the river,” Don said.

After clearing the land, the family consulted Prairie Restorations, Inc., of Princeton. The company visited the Merediths’ property and advised an Oak Savanna seed mix which would establish itself well in the soil and environment.

“That type of seed mix is conducive to this area.

It’s a lot of native grasses and Áowers which naturally Áourish here,” Don said.

The specialized seed mixture is composed of Hoary Vervain, Black-eyed Susan, Wild bergamot, common milkweed, Prairie

phlox, Northern Bedstraw and purple asters along with various other Áowers and grasses. “[The beauty] starts in April and lasts all the way until snow. With the bergamot and vervain, the summer is a sea of color. Right now all the Áowers are drying up and the grasses are starting to show. That’s the neat part because now, in October, it will be an ocean of Autumn and tans with fall Áowers,” Don said.

But the native prairie planting wasn’t always this attractive.

“It got a little overwhelming at Àrst because we had this vision of instant and beautiful which it’s not.

It takes time to establish,” he said. “The Àrst two years it was a constant battle with weeds.”

As opposed to weeds, many prairie plants nurture their roots Àrst. These

root systems can grow three times the length of their above ground foliage. Weeds typically have a shallow root system and focus on Áourishing and seeding as fast as they can. The Merediths aided their seeding by planting a perennial oats cover crop which grew quickly and helped choke out the initial weeds. By the second year, the Oak Savanna mix had created enough root structure to hold its own and by the fourth year the native planting had choked out all the weeds.

After the introductory work, the Merediths have had little upkeep. They need not water or fertilize the area. They simply mow the area in the spring and perform a controlled burn every three or four years, allowing the prairie to regenerate — naturally.

The property not only boasts a wide variety of

plants, but has increased the wildlife in the area as well, providing food, shelter and habitat for the critters yearround, but especially in the winter season.

The Merediths have spied four species of woodpeckers (including Redheaded), cardinals, Blue Jays, Ànches, orioles grosbeaks and more. They also have pheasants, turkeys and deer walking through their yard.

“The yard attracts so many birds, butterÁies and bees,” Don said. “The biggest beneÀt is the honeybees. If you’re in the yard in July it’s a constant buzz. The bees are so busy pollinating.”

Many people are at awe of the beauty of nature. The Merediths have proof that with the right seeding, native beauty can be found in one’s own front lawn.

Rice man injured in ATV crash WATAB TOWNSHIP — A Rice man was injured when his ATV struck a vehicle Friday night.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Harold Loomis, 65, was cross-

ing Highway 10 at 105th Street Sept. 16 at approximately 9:30 p.m. Loomis struck the passenger side of a Toyota Venza, driven by Scott Erickson, 59, of East

Grand Forks. Loomis sustained non-life threatening inuries and Erickson and his 85-year-old passenger Lucille Erickson, of Menahga suffered no apparent inju-

ries.

The state patrol was assisted by the Benton County Sheriffs OfÀce, Rice Police and Fire Departments and Gold Cross Ambulance.

Anselment continued from front_______________ creates a tolerance and the initial high experienced by a user is never recreated, fueling further abuse. Anselment’s addiction was no different.

Drug life Anselment became Àxated by her high and everything else seemed unimportant. She no longer had a job or a place to live; her belongings she carried with her in three dufÁe bags on her back.

Anselment’s relationships suffered, and she cut ties with anyone who could offer a sober hand to help.

At one point a missing person’s report was Àled for the 24-year-old; although she missed her family greatly, she could not let them see how she was living her life.

“It consumed everything,” Anselment said. “I actually came across a notebook, not too long ago. Every day there was an entry.

It would say something like one line, one bubble, Àve shots, and kept a record of my weight, how much I had ate, and how many days I had been up. I was obsessed. Every day I took time to write in that stupid little book.”

But one entry was differ-

ent from the rest. It showed Anselment as a vulnerable adult, powerless over her drug. She wrote, “Sarah, stop doing this to yourself.

You are killing yourself, and Lilly needs you.”

Lilly is Anselment’s daughter. Anselment had not seen her in two years.

The last raid Anselment became a household face in the drug world. Law enforcement came to know her by name and knew her shooting vice.

She had been to jail and drug court on different charges involving needles and ecstasy, but the short time away was not enough to keep her sober.

“The Àrst three times I was released from jail, I would go right back to the same drug house,” she said.

But over time, the exhaustion of being a drug addict set in.

“I was ready to die and didn’t think I could ever stop using. I didn’t want to die, but I didn’t care if I did,” Anselment said.

By the time the Central Minnesota Offender Task Force executed a search warrant on a north St. Cloud home Sept. 14, 2014, Anselment was 105 pounds and shooting over a gram of methamphetamine at a time.

The raid saved Anselment’s life.

“I knew I was going to get raided that day. I could feel it,” she said. “God was speaking to me. He was giving me another chance and I knew I had to take it or I would die.”

That day, Anselment quickly stopped at a house

to use the bathroom with a friend. Wanting to leave, the friend insisted she stay. The task force raided the premises as Anselment tried to escape through the bathroom window.

“I told them, ‘just take me. Just [explicit] take me.

I’m done. I’m done with this,’” she said. “I was so happy the police were there.

I knew I was ready this time.”

The journey home Authorities took Anselment to jail on outstanding warrants. She served a fourmonth sentence, attended Narcotics Anonymous classes, and completed a Rule 25 Assessment in order to receive public funding for chemical dependency treatment.

She began treatment through Recovery Plus and during rehabilitation was offered a bed at Journey Home – a halfway house that caters to women ages 16 and older, providing a place for recovery for women and their children.

“I had lost my birth certiÀcate, my social security card. I wasn’t even a grain of salt in the world,” Anselment said. “At Journey Home they made me feel like family. They believed in me and when you’re an addict, who’s going to do that?”

Anselment spent six months in rehab between inpatient and the halfway house, following strict guidance and cutting off all ties with her user friends.

“When they say you have to change everything, it’s true. You can’t go to a place

“Journey Home showed me what a normal life was again and that I could have it back.

If it wasn’t for this place I wouldn’t have made it.”

After two months in treatment, Anselment was reunited with Lilly, now 8.

“I can’t even explain to you that day. I was so happy I was bawling. Lilly knew me and it was like she hadn’t missed a day without me,” she said. “Imagine being a 4-year-old and I just left her like that. It was so nice to see she still cared about me. She loved me so much.”

Anselment has been on her own for the past year after completing her time at the halfway home. She found employment, as well as love, and is living her life in a happier, healthier place.

Anselment now raises Lilly in joint custody, and Anselment plans on enrolling to pursue her own career as a chemical dependency counselor next fall after the birth of her second child.

To maintain her sobriety, she goes to church.

“There’s a life worth living where you can feel safe and loved. You just need to ask for help and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Your hard work will pay off. It might suck some days, but if you keep trucking, God will give you everything you lost back to you tenfold,” Anselment said. “It is possible to go from rockbottom, ready to die to being so happy, grateful and loving life — I’m doing it right now.”

ibility. We want kids to be able to come in and out of the program as they see Àt.

If there’s a time a kid who feels they can attend mainstream classes, we want to encourage that, but also let them know the program is always here for them,” Bushman said.

She also states the importance of structure in the program. While students

will start and end the day with their Compass classmates, they will be able to attend allied arts and elective courses with mainstream classmates.

One of the big questions for the district as the program begins is where to go from here.

“We are trying to Àgure out a way to bridge this program with STEPS and beyond,” Bushman said. “The grant is for use from 14-24 year-olds, so how do we encompass all of them? That’s our question. Eventually, we want to go beyond that too. I just think about all of the Àfth and sixth graders who struggle with school.

Sauk Rapids-Rice starts alternative learning program

SAUK RAPIDS – Sauk Rapids-Rice School District is always looking for ways to help students succeed. When the district was informed they were receiving the Youthprise Grant last April, they recognized the incredible opportunity it would present.

“We are the only K-12 system to receive the grant, so we are certainly paving the way as we go,” said Jenny Bushman, director of teaching and learning for the district. “The heart of this grant is helping kids to success, but how they get there is different and that’s where the funding will come in.”

The Youthprise grant provides the district with $618,000 over the course of three years. The focus of the program is for students in eighth through 10th grade who are disconnected from school.

Last event set for Team Dance for a Cause SAUK RAPIDS — An event which has raised over $40,000 for local breast cancer patients and survivors over the last ten years, will hold its last dance this October.

Team Dance for a Cause is ending its annual dance performance and will be looking for new and different opportunities to raise funds for the cancer community in the future. The Ànal dance clinic will celebrate the tenth cancer-free anniversary of Betty Radke, whose battle and survival inspired the foundation of the organization.

“As a committee we have decided to end this event on a high note,” said Heidi Karbon, Radke’s daughter. “We have had a great time with this and we feel we hit its purpose. We are happy to have impacted so many lives and educated so many community members. We felt it was a perfect end to celebrate 10 events and my mom's 10 year anniversary. We are all proud of what we created and are sad to see the end, but it's time

The Sauk Rapids Herald

Bradford leads Vikings to victory On Sunday night, the Minnesota Vikings opened up their palatial new stadium in resounding fashion, beating the arch rival Green Bay Packers 17-14 in front of a national TV audience. This win shows last season's division championship was no Áuke and establishes

by ANDY THAYER the Vikings as a legitimate contender in the NFC. The craziest Sports Columnist thing about this whole situation is that Sam Bradford, the quarterback who led the Vikings to this upset victory, wasn't even on the team’s roster three weeks ago.

When Teddy Bridgewater went down with a seasonending knee injury at the very end of training camp, many people (myself included) thought the Vikings’ season was over before it began. We’ve seen enough of Shaun Hill over the years to know that he’s a capable backup but he’s not the kind of guy who is going to put a team on his back and lead them to victory over a playoff-caliber team. The Vikings’ week one matchup against Tennessee was a perfect Shaun Hill game – the Vikings scored no offensive touchdowns, but ended up winning because Hill didn’t turn the ball over and their defense was able to generate two opportunistic scores against the below-average Titans’ offense. That formula does not work against teams like the Green Bay Packers, however.

Enter Sam Bradford. Games like Sunday night were exactly why the Vikings gave up a king’s ransom in draft collateral to acquire Bradford from Philadelphia, and against the Packers, the former No. 1 overall pick looked like he was worth every bit of it. Bradford was an efÀcient 22/31 (with two throwaways) for 286 yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers against Green Bay, and his pocket presence and ability to get the ball in the hands of his playmaking receivers like Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen was a revelation.

The mastery of the Vikings’ offensive system that Bradford showed after only two weeks with the team was truly remarkable.

Bradford has always had a cannon for an arm, but in the past he has looked tentative and unwilling to push the ball downÀeld. That, however, may have been at least partially attributable to his offensive schemes and the receiving weapons that he had at his disposal in Philadelphia and St. Louis.

He certainly didn’t have Stefon Diggs, who is looking more and more like an emerging star and to whom Bradford completed his Àrst eight passes on Sunday night. Yesterday on Twitter, Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy stated “When I look at Diggs I see a young Marvin Harrison.” That’s some high praise for the young wideout.

To be fair, Bradford beneÀted from a Green Bay defense that was clearly focused on stopping Adrian Peterson. Even though Peterson was only able to muster 19 yards on 12 carries (before leaving with a meniscus tear in his right knee), his presence alone was enough to shift the Packers’ defense.

Play-action passes were wide open for the Vikings, and Bradford took advantage of it all night long. He repeatedly found Diggs in single coverage, often against cornerback Damarious Randall, and that didn’t end well for Green Bay. However, with Peterson potentially out of the lineup for awhile with his knee injury, Bradford is going to face more pressure to generate offense through the air against Àve and six defensive back sets. The Vikings’ offensive line is also going to have to do a better job of protecting the notoriously frail Bradford (who took some major hits on Sunday), or else the time will have given up multiple draft picks for a pile of dust.

Next Sunday’s game at Carolina will show us quite a bit about Bradford and the Vikings. There isn’t a tougher place to play in the NFC right now than in Carolina against the defending NFC champs, and the Vikings might be without their top offensive weapon in Peterson. If the offensive line can hold up and create some running lanes and time for Bradford to push the ball downÀeld, the Vikings will have a shot. As recently as three weeks ago, that didn't seem like a possibility.

The solid waste permit has been reissued several times to various paper mill companies since 1984. AIM Development USA LLC (AIM) purchased the Paper Mill and the LandÀll in 2013 from Verso Paper following closure of the Paper Mill. The MPCA solid waste permit authorizes disposal of wood yard debris, boiler ash, scrubber cake and other approved waste generated by the Verso Paper Mill that no longer exists. The solid waste permit did not authorize disposal from any source other than the Verso Paper Mill. The LandÀll has not been open nor accepted waste since 2012. The solid waste permit expired on March 12, 2014. The LandÀll is located in the City of Sartell in Stearns County, in an area zoned for light industrial uses, which does not include landÀlls. AIM has a trust fund for closure, contingency action and post closure care at a reported value of approximately 2.1 million dollars at the end of 2015.

AIM submitted a permit application for reissuance and a facility expansion in January 2014, prior to expiration of the solid waste permit. The City of Sartell provided notiÀcation to AIM and the MPCA that AIM had not applied for or received local approvals and licenses for operation of the LandÀll. The MPCA may not issue permits for facilities that are not approved by local units of government under local land use and zoning ordinances. Minn. Stat. § 116.07, subd. 4j(d). Given this, the MPCA made a determination in August 2014 to discontinue processing the permit application until the City of Sartell and AIM could resolve the zoning and nonconforming use issues associated with the operation of the LandÀll.

The expired solid waste permit authorized permitted airspace capacity in the constructed Phases 1 and 2 of the LandÀll. The 2015 Annual Report indicates there are 348,294 cubic yards of permitted airspace capacity remaining in Phases 1 and 2 of the LandÀll. Approximately two acres of the Ànal cover system is in place in Phase 2 and the remaining 11 acres of Phases 1 and 2 are open with a 1-foot soil intermediate cover. The disposal area contains a 4-foot clay liner with a leachate collection system. Although the LandÀll has been inactive since 2012, it continues to generate leachate at a signiÀcant rate because Ànal cover is not in place on most of the constructed Phases. The 2015 Annual Report for the LandÀll indicates that roughly 6.2 million gallons of leachate

were generated and direct discharged to the sanitary sewer system for treatment at the Saint Cloud Wastewater Treatment Facility in 2015. The permit application submitted by AIM requested MPCA permit reissuance and authorization: • for a horizontal expansion of the LandÀll to include permitted capacity for two new phases, Phases 3 and 4.

• to accept a variety of non-hazardous industrial solid waste from any source, not just Verso Paper Mill.

The MPCA issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to AIM on April 27, 2016, alleging non-compliance with Minn. Stat. § 116.07, subd. 4j(d), which states that the MPCA may not issue a permit to expand an existing disposal facility unless all local units of government have granted approval for and provided any required public notices of the expanded facility prior to issuance of the permit or have authorized the permit to be issued prior to or concurrent with the required approval by the local unit of government. The corrective action in the NOV for this violation required that AIM take action within 30 days of receipt of the NOV to obtain approval from the City of Sartell to satisfy the requirements of this Statute.

To date, AIM has not applied to the City of Sartell for rezoning or for conditional use to allow for landÀll operation. As a result, the MPCA has determined that AIM has not satisÀed the local approval requirement of Minn. Stat. § 116.07, subd. 4j(d).

In addition, the MPCA’s solid waste permit was not intended to maintain the facility in a quasi-open state for an indeÀnite period of time. The intermediate cover in place on most of Phases 1 and 2 is not adequate to prevent excessive leachate generation. The current situation is not protective of the environment.

For these reasons, the MPCA has made a preliminary determination that it must deny reissuance of the solid waste permit. In accordance with Minnesota Rules 7001.3125 and 7035.2625, if a permit expansion is denied, the owner of the LandÀll must immediately close the LandÀll in accordance with Minnesota Rules, which will begin to reduce leachate generation. The MPCA will also issue a closure document which will be used to regulate the LandÀll during the post closure care period.

The preliminary determination to deny reissuance of this solid waste permit is tentative.

Procedure for public participation As stated in Minn. R. chs. 7000 and 7001, there are three formal procedures for public participation in the MPCA’s consideration of this matter. Interested persons may: (1) Submit written comments on the draft permit.

(2) Petition the MPCA to hold a public informational meeting.

(3) Petition the MPCA to hold a contested case hearing.

Submitting written comments To submit comments or petitions to the MPCA through the mail or email, you must state: (1) Your interest in the permit application or the draft permit.

(2) The action you wish the MPCA to take, including speciÀc references to the section of the draft permit you believe should be changed.

(3) The reasons supporting your position, stated with sufÀcient speciÀcity as to allow the MPCA to investigate the merits of the position.

Public informational meeting A public informational meeting is an informal meeting during which interested persons can ask questions concerning the proposed facility. The MPCA staff will be present to provide information. If an interested person would like the MPCA to hold a public informational meeting, the person should include all information identiÀed above in a request for a meeting, and in addition, include a statement of the reasons the person wants the MPCA to hold a public informational meeting and the issues that the person would like the agency to address at the public informational meeting.

Contested Case Hearing A contested case hearing is a formal proceeding before an administrative law judge empowered to advise the MPCA regarding issues of fact. As described in Minn. R. 7000.1800, persons who submit petitions for a contested case hearing must also state the issues they propose to address in a contested case hearing, the speciÀc relief requested or resolution of the matter, and the reasons (which may be in the form of proposed Àndings) supporting an MPCA decision to hold a contested case hearing. Failure to comply with these rules exactly may result in a denial of the request. To the extent known, the petitioner may also submit a list of prospective witnesses to be called at a hearing, a proposed list of publications, references, or studies to be introduced at a hearing and the approximate time required for the petitioner to present the matter at a hearing. The decision whether to hold a contested case hearing will be made under Minn. R. 7000.1900.

The Sauk Rapids-Rice Volleyball Team is off to a streaky start in their 2016 campaign.

The Storm struggled out of the gate this season, losing three of their Àrst four matches. Their lone win was at home against rival Sartell. SRR, then, won three of four and placed third in their 16team tournament which they hosted Sept. 10. They defeated Brainerd, Holdingford and St. Cloud Cathedral. Last week, the Storm hit the road and battled two tough teams, losing to both Willmar and Rocori over three sets.

SRR has two seniors, defensive specialist Brooke Torvik and setter Allison Stedje, on the team. The rest of the varsity team is comprised of sophomores and juniors.

When they are on the attack SRR has many

The road was tough on the Storm volleyball team last week.

SRR lined up against two quality Central Lakes Conference foes Willmar and Rocori and were on the short side of two 3-0 road losses.

On Thursday night they tangled with the Spartans, who are ranked in the top Àve in Class AA. SRR lost 25-15, 25-22 and 25-18.

“I thought our girls played very well and competed and it showed in the second and third games,” said Sauk Rapids-Rice

Head Coach Dave Anderson.

One of the Storms biggest challenges in the match was the tight refereeing.

SRR was called for 16 double touches in the match.

“You can’t give a team like Rocori 16 points,” Anderson said.

Despite the loss, Anderson said his team is looking forward to playing a top-notch team like Rocori again. They get a rematch with Rocori Oct. 18 in Sauk Rapids.

“We are deÀnitely looking forward to playing them again and the competition

Timmer record-holder, hall of famer

by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – Winning state championships and prestigious awards was something Jason Timmer was used to during his days as a Sauk Rapids-Rice High School athlete.

Add that with all of the school records he’s broken and he truly deÀnes Storm pride. Now, 12 years after his graduation, Timmer is being inducted into the SRRHS Athletic Hall of Fame with the likes of Sheila (Gadway) Grambart (‘89), Walt Seiler (‘56) and the late Robert “Bob” Borgert.

“This is a true honor and I’m very grateful,” Timmer said. “To be considered as equals with some of these great athletes, spanning back several decades, is amazing. It’s incredible that Sauk Rapids still remembers my athletic contributions. I’m honored to be recognized.”

During his time at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School, Timmer was a member of the boys swimming team and the track and Àeld team.

In track, he ran hurdles, relays and participated in the discus Àeld events.

Timmer still holds two track records from his time with the Storm – the Àfth best time for the 110-meter hurdles and the 11th best time for the 300-meter hurdles.

“It’s pretty cool to still have the records,” Timmer said. “I’m actually impressed I still have them.”

Add that with the six records – in the 200 freestyle, the 200 Individual Medley (IM), the 50 freestyle (both in 3A and 5A), the 100 freestyle and the 400 freestyle relay – he still holds for swimming and he’s just

bafÁed.

“I thought for sure those were broken already,” Timmer said in surprise.

“Wow!” As a senior athlete in 2004, Timmer won the 50 freestyle and the 100 freestyle races at the state tournament, which contributed to the Storm’s state title that year. He was named Minnesota Swimmer of the Year in both 2002 and 2004.

“To bring the Minnesota Swimmer of the Year

up to Sauk Rapids, particularly in my sophomore year, brought a huge amount of recognition to the school.

It was incredible,” Timmer said.

Timmer went on to swim at the University of Minnesota after high school, where he helped the Gophers to the Big Ten swimming title in 2007. There were also multiple times during college where he qualiÀed for AllAmerican status.

He went on to swim in

the 50 freestyle and breaststroke events of the 2008 Olympic trials during his senior year of college.

“I was fortunate that the trials fell during my senior year,” Timmer said. “I was able to try out and then retire from competitive swimming after my senior year, rather than having extra time for training.”

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — Fans could hear a pin drop in Sports Arena East Saturday as the crowd paid tribute to Jacob Wetterling with a moment of silence before Granite City faced off with the New Ulm Steel for their

season opener. The Lumberjacks topped their opponent 4-3.

With puck drop, the crowd changed its tune and lit up when Lumberjack defensemen Ben Haugo skated in from the blue line and found the back of the net a little more than a minute into the game. Haugo was

assisted by forward Jack Petroske. The intensity continued in the Steel’s zone when Granite City’s returning veteran Chase Di Bari skated behind the net, fueling a puck to linesman Matthew Sprink. Sprink dished it to Zach Sitarz who scored the Jacks second goal at 2:22. But three would be the charm as forward Jack Walter took on Steel goalie

The Jacks were up 3-0 at the end of the Àrst.

The second period was less eventful and the Jacks shared the scoreboard with the Steel. New Ulm put up their Àrst number with a power play goal by Dylan Lievermann, after a pileup in front of Lumberjack Mac Berglove’s goal. Granite City answered quickly after left wing Matthew Moran made a pass to Smith for a one-time, short-handed goal just 23 seconds later.

The two were assisted in the play by Spencer Nelson. Before the end of the second, the Steel’s Jared Erickson beat Berglove top shelf bringing the score to 4-2 Lumberjacks. Smith was issued a penalty shot late in the second, but failed

Caitlin Schreiner kept the Storm girls soccer team on the scoreboard last week, scoring the lone goal against Brainerd. Goalkeeper Sydney Plemel also contributed to the teams’ success, making a combined 22 saves throughout the two games against Brainerd Sept. 13 and Alexandria Sept. 15.

The girls are 4-4 for the season and will face off against Fergus Falls and St. Cloud Apollo throughout the next week.

Emery kicks past Warriors

by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

Kieran Emery was the only Storm boys soccer player to score against the Brainerd Warriors Sept. 13.

He was assisted by Sean Randolph, 10 minutes into the game.

“It was the only goal scored in the Àrst half and our team did well on holding off the Warriors on defense,” said coach Chris Rothstein.

The team was able to keep that score through halftime before the Warriors came back and scored Àve goals against Storm goalie Ethan Baker. Despite the Storm pushing up the Àeld in search of a goal, they were unsuccessful and the game ended in a 5-1 loss.

“The score didn’t reÁect how well the team played in

the game,” said Rothstein.

“They played very hard and with determination, but it wasn’t at all reÁected on the scoreboard.”

The team will continue their season by facing Fergus Falls, St. Cloud Apollo and Monticello throughout the next week.

Unfortunately for the Storm they had to face a hot serving Cardinal team Sept.

Willmar has several girls with nasty serves and they accumulated over 15 ace serves on the way to the three-set win.

“They served the ball extremely hard and that kept us off-balance. They serve a lot of top-spin balls that were hard,” said Anderson. “Their serving took us out of rhythm.”

Becker had seven kills to pace the team. Newland added six.
