ST. CLOUD – The smell of freshly baked bread wafts for blocks, enticing the noses of people young and old. For Travis Harjes, eating bread was a thing of the past due to his gluten intolerance. Until Backwards Bread Company was born. “I was a sales Áoor manager at the Good Earth Food Co-op, and I noticed the community’s need for a good, crusty artisan bread,” Harjes said. “The long fermentation process really helps people with gluten intolerance issues.
back into bread. “Bread has been really industrialized and our society makes such cheap breads,” Harjes said. “That’s where Backwards Bread came from. I was one of those people, so I use all organic wheat and the I got really excited when I freshest ingredients. I want to discovered this alternative. I put the healthiness back into can eat bread again.” bread.” Backwards Bread began in June 2016 and has been growing ever since. Harjes sells his bread at the Good Earth Food Co-op and the Sauk Rapids and St. Joseph farmers markets, as well as to other vendors. Along with his reduced sensitivities, Harjes feels his product puts the nutrition
Harjes enjoys his breads for the thick crust, chewy crumb and the sweet taste in the wheat. “The starter is constantly going, and I feed that once a day. From there, I take a third of the dough and inoculate it with the sour dough culture to ferment for 12 hours. The next day, I combine that back in with the rest of the dough,” Harjes said. “The fermentation, shaping and prooÀng takes another eight to nine hours. Then I bake them off.” Harjes has two base breads – whole wheat and molasses with rye and caraway. From those, he creates others such as apple-cinnamon and cheddar cheese, garlic and chive. “Other Áavors are quite popular, especially applecinnamon because of its sweetness,” Harjes said. The Sauk Rapids Market takes place Thursdays from 4-6:30 p.m., June 1 through October 5 at Trinity Lutheran Church – 2163 Mayhew Lake Road, Sauk Rapids. Rice also has a farmers market Tuesdays from 4-6 p.m., located at the corner of Main and Division Streets. “Farmers markets are one of my favorite places to sell my bread,” Harjes said. “It gives me a chance to get out into the community more and interact with people.”
to help prepare for future BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
RICE — Rice residents could be expecting a higher sewer and water bill by the end of the year. The city’s water and sewer committee is recommending the council raise the current rates in order to prepare for future utilities expenditures. Utility bills have not seen a rate increase in more than seven years. “We wouldn’t be bringing this forth if we weren’t behind the eight-ball in doing projects already,” said council member Chris Scheel. According to council member Bryan Anderson, the committee is recommending a $6 base fee increase, as well as a 10 percent rate increase. They are also recommending another tier for large water usage over 18,000 gallons. Mayor Dale Rogholt requested the committee work with the utilities department to submit an organized list of items that could justify the increase. Scheel, who also sits on the water and sewer committee, listed off a number of items the money would go to support including repair and restoration for two of the three city wells, replacement for pumps over 30 years old, maintenance for the sewer facility, refurbishing the water treatment plant and possible repairs on the water tower. “With that being said, that’s why we were looking at starting to generate around $40,000-$45,000 to start paying for those projects,” Scheel said. The committee plans to meet and generate a letter which will be included in the upcoming July newsletter, giving residents ample time to understand the city’s need to increase rates in order to repair and maintain utilities. As of the 2016 audit, the water and sewer revenues were not supporting the depreciation of the infrastructure and utilities equipment. In other council news: • Approved the Ànal design for a street improvement plan which would include a block each of Second Avenue Northeast and Third Avenue Northeast past city hall and Rice Elementary School. The city must secure right-of-way acquisition from Church of the Immaculate Conception before further progression of the project. Due to time-lines with the bidding process, as well as the 2017-18 school year, the project may be delayed until next spring; but the council hopes to complete the project this summer if possible. • Accepted a $1,000 donation from Langola Township to be used toward the Rice recreation programs. • Approved a calcium chloride treatment for the road leading to the city compost site in regards to dust control. • Approved a lease agreement with Prairie Farms Potato Company.

Maine motivation
BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS — When Brad Olson shared a math problem with his third-grade students earlier this year, he had no idea its impact would reach across state lines. “Every day I start our math lessons with a problem that’s realistic,” said the Pleasantview Elementary teacher. “I was trying to teach elapsed time, and I thought what better way to teach it than a person running. I like to have real world problems with real connections.” But the problem Olson shared wasn’t a typical marathoner’s tale. Instead, it was the story of Michael Westphal, a marathon runner from Maine who has Parkinson’s disease. Upon Ànishing the mathematics problem, Olson shared a video about Westphal and his struggle. That video set off a chain of events that left the Sauk Rapids-Rice teacher quite emotional last Thursday. “On behalf of [race director] Mr. Gary Allen and Mr. Michael Westphal, I’m pleased to present marathon medals from the Sugarloaf Marathon. Each medal is autographed on the ribbon by Michael Westphal,” said Olson, fighting back tears during an

pronounced, “Mr. Olson’s Third-Grade Champions.” The students didn’t receive their medals for a job well done in math, however. Instead, their lobster medallions symbolized a larger act — one of kindness, compassion and heart. After watching Westphal fall to his knees and get back up again to Ànish his race during the video, the students were inspired by his determination. “His [Michael’s] brain and his legs were not cooperating and he just kept going,” said Kailee Cahill, one of Olson’s students. “He only had three or four miles left and he got right Medals back up and tried again. When were sent to each one of Mr. Olson’s third- he Ànished he was very proud graders from the Sugarloaf of himself, and I was proud of Marathon. him, too.”
They decided to send the 60-year-old marathoner encouragement for his next race, the Sugarloaf Marathon in May. “One of the kids said we should tell him good luck,” Olson said. So they did. The class made a video slide-show for Westphal with individual and group messages of motivation, as well as lessons they learned from his experience. They sent the video to the runner and the unthinkable happened. Olson heard back from race director Gary Allen, Westphal’s friend. “I couldn’t believe it,” Olson said. “He had Michael sign them all — which is a feat

ST. CLOUD — Zoe Rogers is an artist. She is also 18. The daughter of Mike and Michele Rogers, of Sauk Rapids, is one of 11 regional students to receive a Student Arts Scholarship Grant from the Central Minnesota Arts Board. The recipient will use her award to further her career in Àne arts at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. “You don’t have to paint and sell it to people. There are all kinds of careers,” said Rogers of her plans. “I’m excited to see what I can do — possibly illustration — but I’m looking forward to seeing the multiple options.” The newly-graduated Sartell High School alumna began honing her craft seriously during her junior year when Rogers began to realize her skills could be put to use professionally. But she had always been interested in art — even as a small child. “We were looking through my old stuff a while ago and there are a ton of drawings and all kinds of crafts that I forgot I even did,” Rogers said. “I was always the kid who asked my mom if we could get the 50pack of colored pencils for my school supplies. I’ve always loved to draw.” A former member of the
Sabres art and ceramics clubs, Rogers spends close to an hour each day outside of a classroom, working on her artistic abilities. She also frequently attends Arts Underground, a youth program provided by the Paramount Center for the Arts on Thursday evenings. “For me, art is about creating something of expression. But it is also about design and noticing what colors and elements work well together,” Rogers said. Rogers, who recreates people in her work, typically selects colored pencils or oil paints as her medium of choice. “I have a very similar color palette among a lot of my pieces. I really love pinks and reds and really warm colors. And I paint a lot of people. My art teacher told me most of my pieces are girls who look very reÁective, like they are thinking about things.” An attribute which seems to derive from Rogers own personality. “I tend to ruminate on things, whether I try to or not,” she said. “I’m super observant of details, and I naturally look at things more closely than others. I like to think about things a lot.” Rogers prefers drawing people because of the amount of expression their characteristics

Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream comes to Rice
Fudgin Delicious & Home Décor is opening in the former Twin Pines Restaurant building June 9. They will be open noon to 9 p.m., seven days a week.
Fudgin Delicious Ice Cream & Home Décor opens for business BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
RICE — Whether it is black cherry, maple nut, rocky road or old fashioned vanilla, nearly everyone has a favorite ice cream. For those passing through Rice who don’t, they’ll soon have 40 more Áavors to choose from to Ànd that perfect cone. “Who doesn’t like ice cream? Ice cream is awesome,” Anne McKeehan said. “There are a lot of people who say they aren’t huge into ice cream until they taste Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream. They
love it. It’s really good.” McKeehan is the owner of Fudgin Delicious Ice Cream & Hom Décor, a business opening its second location in Rice Friday, June 9 at noon. Housed in the former Twin Pines Restaurant building, McKeehan said the business will provide visitors the best of both worlds. “My philosophy is men love ice cream; women love to shop. If they’re both here and they’re both happy, score. He’s eating his ice cream. She gets to shop. There is no Àghting,” McKeehan said with a smile.
Following her in-laws similar business model, the Rice resident opened her original store in Big Lake four years ago. Family members urged her to move into the vacated restaurant space as soon as it closed, but McKeehan remained hesitant. That is, until last fall. “The Highway 10 corridor has been really good for us, and my parents have been pushing me since the restaurant closed to open up here,” she said. “I Ànally gave in. I think it was a good decision. From the amount of feedback we’re getting and the amount of people coming up and asking when we will open, I think we’re going to

do really well here.” Along with wall décor, scented candles, wooden signs, solar garden lights and more, McKeehan will serve super-premium Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream from Madison, Wisc. The ice cream’s low overrun and high butterfat creates the creamy concoction ice cream lovers crave. When asked how much she plans on selling, McKeehan answered, “A lot of ice cream, how about that?” The owner said the location will carry a rotating 40 Áavors from the assortment of 110 Chocolate Shoppe varieties. She expects to exchange those 40 3-gallon tubs up to four times each week. “So we do a lot of ice cream. We do more than 300 tubs a month,” McKeehan said. The ice cream parlor’s best sellers are This $&@! Just Got Serious™, Munchie Madness™ and Zanzibar® Chocolate — in that order. But they also keep chocolate, strawberry and

vanilla out at all times. In addition to the traditional Áavors, the business will also carry an assortment of ice cream for those with food allergies, sensitivities or restrictions. “Chocolate Shoppe does a really really good job with what they offer. They have an organized list. So we have sugar-free ice cream, we have glutenfree they can choose from

and soy for those lactose intolerant. It’s all covered,” McKeehan said. Customers will have the opportunity to purchase homemade wafÁe cones and bowls made with McKeehan’s secret recipe or choose other dipped and sprinkled cones on hand from distributors. Scooped pints and quarts will also be available for sale. The Rice location of Fudgin Delicious & Hom Décor will mimic the feel and tastes of the Big Lake model but with more space, along with indoor and outdoor seating options. “I have my color that I use everywhere and my decoration tastes are the same,” McKeehan said. “You’ll feel the same when you walk in here.” But although her decorating styles remain consistent, her taste in ice cream does not. “I don’t have a favorite Áavor,” she said. “There are so many yummys. It’s just delicious ice cream.”

Keeping health at the top BY RENEE FRAUENDIENST STEARNS COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION DIRECTOR
We are lucky enough to live in one of the healthiest states in the nation. Minnesota consistently ranks in the top Àve healthiest states every year. That doesn’t happen by accident. It is hard work and our communities being active together in making a difference that helps us get there. It used to be different. If you look as far back as the 13th century things were not as romantic as books and movies make it. For example, life expectancy was in the early 30s (31-33 years of age to be exact); mercury was considered a medical treatment and was used to “cure” people; leeches for bleeding were commonly used and infant, childhood deaths were extremely common along with women dying of childbirth. Sanitation was atrocious and diseases such as the plague, small pox and other infectious diseases were common and deadly. Reading this information can give us an appreciation for where we are today. Life expectancy has increased to 76; small pox has been eradicated; plague is treatable; sanitation has improved drastically; mercury is considered an environmental hazard and should not be ingested; infant deaths, childhood deaths and women dying in childbirth have been drastically reduced and
leeches have been relegated to catching Àsh — as they should be. Almost all of these improvements in our health can be attributed to the work of Public Health. In fact, here is the list of the 10 Greatest Public Health Achievements as outlined by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control: • vaccinations, • motor-vehicle safety, • safer workplaces, • control of infectious diseases, • Áuoridation of drinking water, • safer and healthier foods, • healthier mothers and babies, • family planning, • decline in deaths from heart disease and stroke and • recognition of tobacco use as a health hazard.

Kayak Àshing is full stream ahead BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
CLEARWATER — When people think of Àshing, they might consider casting their lines from the water’s edge or catching a whopper from atop a 17-foot Lund. Yet, for a growing number of anglers, a different image comes to mind. They picture simultaneously reeling and
paddling, better known to many as the rising sport of kayak Àshing. “Kayak Àshing has really taken off in the last 10 years,” said Dan Meer, owner of Clear Waters OutÀtting Company, of Clearwater. “When we Àrst started this business and I was trying to Ànd some kayaks for our rental Áeet, it was hard to Ànd good Àshing kayaks. The high-end kayaks eight years
ago, are the entry level kayaks now. These manufacturers have really changed their designs and accessories over the last 10 years.” Last month, roughly 30 people had the opportunity to learn more about the sport during tours hosted by CW OutÀtting in conjunction with the Minnesota Governor’s Fishing Opener. Although Àshing from kayaks dates back centuries with indigenous peoples, according to Meer, the modern-day sport began in the southern coastal regions of the United States before making its way to the Midwest. As manufacturers began studying the sport and its participants they began to improve their vessels, looking for ways to add comfort and stability. “They started designing their boats with a Àsherperson in mind,” Meer said. “The kayaks started getting wider, with more comfort. The manufacturers began adding nicer seats and allowing for more room within the kayak.” Now, the range of kayaks on the market is endless. From multiple molding options, several seating apparatuses
and abundant accessories, kayaks can be customized to clientele. The rental company owner showed examples of track systems that allow anglers to move rod holders, electronics and anchors. He also showcased hands-free kayaks, propelled by small motors or pedals. Meer said those Àshing docks or near the water’s edge will often have forward momentum when a Àsh bites and they have to try and reverse directions to keep tension on their line. Having the ability to do so without paddling is inviting to some. Although design can be about comfort and preference, those casting their lines from a ‘yak should think about one more thing before making their investment — the water. “One of the Àrst questions we ask is what type of water they will be paddling in,” Meer said. “If you’re going to be on big lakes, we’ll probably steer you toward a longer, thinner streamlined boat so you have more efÀciency in your paddling and cover more ground. If you’re in a

A good day starts with a good night’s rest Sauk Rapids resident details sleep apnea experience BY MICHAEL STRASBURG STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Quality sleep is an important part of every person’s life, but when you’re a police ofÀcer, the split-second alertness a good night’s sleep provides can make the difference between life and death. Tom Roy, a retired Sauk Rapids police ofÀcer, had difÀculty sleeping for years without being diagnosed or treated for a sleep disorder. “I’d usually get seven to eight hours of sleep but I’d wake up and it didn’t feel like I got any sleep,” Roy said. “You wake up and never feel rested. You feel like crap in the morning and it follows you. You never seem to catch up on your sleep.” Little did Roy know, he’d suffered from sleep apnea for years. Sleep apnea is caused by the relaxation of throat muscles during sleep, which in turn causes a portion of the throat to close so that an individual stops breathing,
until their body wakes up — gasping for air. “Your spouse can sit there and count. Sometimes they you won’t breathe for 45, 50 seconds. It’s scary,” Roy said. The main remedy for sleep apnea, a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine, regulates breathing so that the throat is never closed. Unfortunately, Roy dismissed an initial sleep apnea diagnosis after undergoing a sleep study in 2005 — a diagnosis that would have put him on a CPAP machine. “The night before the sleep study I worked until 5 a.m.,” he said. “I got off and stayed up all day, didn’t go to bed. I Àgured they were going to wire me up so that way when the time comes I’d be beat. I went in after being up for over 24 hours.” To conduct the sleep study, doctors placed a cap on Roy’s head, outÀtted with electrodes to monitor his brain activity. Additional

electrodes were placed on the arms, ankles and torso. All of the electrodes were wired into a computer that operated while he slept. When Roy woke up at 7 a.m. the following morning, he asked the medical technician how he slept. She told Roy normally she’d wake someone up if they had an episode, but she watched Roy all night and did not observe any episodes.
Two weeks later, the neurologist called and told Roy he observed some minor episodes in the data and recommend Roy use a CPAP machine. Roy disregarded the recommendation. “I thought this sounded like someone was just trying to put me on a machine, and I wasn’t going to have anything to do with it,” he said. Roy went on to suffer
the effects of sleep apnea for six more years, until he was training for a marathon in 2011. Roy told his athletic doctor that he was having the same issues and waking up tired. “One of the Àrst things he said was I needed to a do a sleep study. I laughed and told him I had one and it didn’t do anything,” Roy said. Regardless, the doctor convinced Roy to undergo

another study. Once again, Roy was wired up and went to sleep at 10 p.m. — except this time the assistant woke him up one hour later, informing Roy she’d already observed 25 episodes. “She told me I stopped breathing 25 times in the Àrst hour,” he said. After that, the doctors outÀtted Roy with a sleep apnea mask and Àne-tuned the CPAP machine while he slept. Roy’s insurance company rented the machine for him, since many who try CPAP give up on the machine. Roy did not. “I’d never felt so good,” he said. “I could sleep for Àve hours and it would be like a got a full night’s sleep. I would wake up and feel awesome. I realized the problem had been cured.” The machine consists of a mask that covers the nose and mouth, a hose, a basin and the main console. All in all, the CPAP machine is about the size of a briefcase and operates at a surprisingly quiet volume. Roy retired from the police department in 2015, but still keeps active by working part time at Sports

Àsherman in Minnesota have great big boats and they can’t bring them in here. It’ll tear them to pieces,” Twele said. “The Àshing is not just Àshing. It’s really good Àshing.” Twele said the 13-mile stretch of river between St.
Sleep Apnea from pg. 8 Arena East and for a Ànancial business. Fortunately, the compact size of the CPAP machine serves Roy well in his new line of work. “I work part-time in the Ànance industry, so I travel. They’ll send me down to Rochester; Mason City, Iowa; or Duluth. I just put the machine in the case and it travels with me,” he said. While Roy is enjoying his retirement, it’s didn’t come without some sacriÀces. “When I retired from law enforcement, my insurance didn’t come with me,” he said. “I retired in 2015 and I didn’t get insurance that covers CPAP.” Roy now has to wait eight years until he is eligible for Medicare/Medicaid coverage. Until then, he has to cover the costs of the CPAP machine himself. “I need to make it another eight years because the masks, the tubing and the basins are all medical supplies so I can buy one on eBay for $30-40,” he said. “If I buy it through the CPAP store it’s over $100 because that’s what they charge your insurance company, because it’s considered a medical device. It’s not cheap.” Roy also said CPAP machines can cost anywhere from $200 to $2,000 online. He’s been using the same machine since 2011 and hopes it can last another eight years. But even if he has to shell out the cash to purchase a replacement online, the investment appears to be well worth it for the retired police ofÀcer — after all, you can’t put a price on a good night’s sleep.
Cloud and Clearwater is known for its stock of small mouth bass. He commutes to CW OutÀtters to Àsh the stretch by kayak nearly 30 times each season. “Kayak Àshing is the fastest growing sport right
now,” Meer said. “It’s deÀnitely become a large portion of our sales. Compared to canoes, recreational kayaks and touring kayaks, these have become the highest sellers of all those categories.”

river, you can have a shorter, stubbier kayak because maneuverability is more important. It also comes down to stability. “You can have two people with the exact same height and weight, and stability will mean something completely different to them both,” he said. Kayak Àshing — especially on the Mississippi River — may not be as easy as it sounds, but those interested shouldn’t be discouraged. “If you’re Àshing on a river, you’ll have to build into it a bit more because with the currents and movement of the kayak there is a little more to it. But for lake Àshing, as long as you’re comfortable in the kayak, go for it,” Meer said. John Twele, an avid kayak Àsherman from Minnetonka agreed. “In a kayak, you’re moving,” he said. “And if you’re really moving and there’s high water, by the time you’ve casted you’ve moved 12 feet. So it can be much more challenging than sitting in a lake and casting to a spot.” But even though the Mighty Mississippi may be more challenging, that doesn’t mean you won’t catch Àsh. “This enormous resource is highly inaccessible, and untapped and unknown.
