Meierhofer will retire as sole director of hockey center

ST. CLOUD — As the St. Cloud State University men’s hockey team played their last period of the season earlier this month, another staple at the college was pondering the upcoming culmination of his own career at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.

Joe Meierhofer will retire this May after 27 years as the Àrst and only director of operations of the facility.

“To be honest, it is a little premature for me to think about,” said Meierhofer, who is also SCSU’s Associate

Director of Sports Facilities.

“I’m trying not to count the days. I’ve lived a pretty cool life in this building. I’m super lucky to have been a part of it.”

The start of a career Meierhofer’s experience with sports facilities began when he was a freshman in college, playing baseball for SCSU. He took a job as a Zamboni driver at the Municipal Athletic Complex, before eventually starting a maintenance business, which contracted services to the city of St. Cloud. At 20-years-old, Meierhofer had over 40 employees

working under his direction, from groundskeepers, pool maintenance personnel, concession workers and more.

“I was working 65 hours a week and trying to take 12 full credits to be eligible to play baseball,” he said. “My life was just full speed ahead.”

After graduating in 1986 and marrying his wife, Deb, Meierhofer sold his maintenance company and took a position as the MAC’s Sports Center Assistant Manager. The engineering tech major, who emphasized in aviation, had plans to one day become an airport manager. His plans changed.

“Deb and I were on our way back from Duluth when we drove past the DECC – the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center – and

ice arena where the Bulldogs play,” Meierhofer said. “I said to her as we were driving by, I think I would love to run a big building like that. Less than a week later, that opportunity arose.

Construction of the National Hockey Center had already begun, and the university was searching for a director to run the arena.

As a SCSU alumnus and having worked at the MAC for 10 years, Meierhofer’s connections with coaches and staff were plentiful. Herb Brooks, who would become the National Hockey Center’s namesake, and Craig Dahl, the university’s head hockey coach at the time, inquired as to why the former student had not applied for the position.

“I told them I didn’t have a shot,” Meierhofer said.

“They told me I wouldn’t know unless I tried. So I did, and I got it.”

According to Meierhofer, the school gave him the job because of a promise he made to them.

“I promised them I’d never let this building get old,” he said. “That was my promise and that is why it still looks the way it does. That’s just my thing, and anybody who works here goes along with that theme.”

Twenty-seven years, one day at a time On Meierhofer’s Àrst day, Oct. 1, 1989, he walked into a skeleton of a building.

The frame of the hockey center was standing, but much of the construction still needed to be completed.

All the staff needed to be hired, and accounting and scheduling systems needed to be organized. The Àrst hockey game was scheduled

District seeking interim superintendent SAUK RAPIDS – The Sauk Rapids-Rice School Board is moving forward with the superintendent transition process.

During Monday night’s board meeting, the item was pushed from discussion to action following a report from chairman Mark Hauck.

“The superintendent evaluation committee has met, and they are recommending a one-year interim position. They are recommending the process

moves forward sooner rather than later,” Hauck said. “By having an interim, it will allow us to hire a permanent replacement sometime during the next year, allowing us more time for an extensive search.”

The board approved the district to post a one-year interim position to replace Dr. Dan Bittman starting July 1.

Hauck and the board reiterated the continued communication of

information throughout the transition process, both with staff and the community.

More updates are expected at board meetings as the process continues.

In other school board news: • The board approved two addendums regarding the election – election judge pool to assist in running the election and election services from Benton County to assist in tallying results at each polling place

and sending them to the state ofÀce.

• Bittman gave the board a walk-through of the website’s changes for the referendum to help spread the word about all of the resources and information available for the upcoming election. Resources available include tax impact, polling places, about the referendum and a link to email Bittman directly with questions or comments. The election will take place May 23.

Fire contract negotiations continue

GRAPHIC SUBMITTED

Watab Township seeks to discontinue Rice emergency medical services in sections one through 12 because of unpaid bills.

BY ANNA SALDANA & NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITERS

WATAB TOWNSHIP/ RICE – Fire contract negotiations continue between Watab Township and the city of Rice. The contract, which was due to be renewed in December 2016 has been extended twice.

Watab Township would prefer to eliminate medical services while retaining Àre and rescue from the Rice Fire Department.

“It is really hard to see us having to write off over $10,000 in unpaid bills,” said Watab Township Clerk Pat Spence. “There’s one resident who calls just to have assistance being lifted off the Áoor. There’s another who says he’ll call just to make us mad. That’s frustrating.

We want to continue with the contract, but eliminate the medical portion of it.”

In Nov. 2014, surveys were mailed out to residents in sections 1-12 of the township, soliciting responses to the rising costs of services.

Of those surveys, 199 were returned – 90 in favor of keeping medical services and 109 opposed.

“The township is not required to provide service according to state statute and Gold Cross has to come out anyway because the Rice Àrst responders cannot transport people,” Spence said.

Through the 2014 calendar year, Watab Township was charged a Áat fee of $38,500 for their Àre contract services with Rice.

In 2015, the city reduced the Áat fee, but added a $350 per call payment to the contract.

At that same time, Watab decided to recoup some of the added costs by passing along fees to residents. The

township pays 25 percent of the per call fee, issuing a bill to residents for the remaining $262.50.

With 62 calls — of which 51 were medical — Watab Township paid $44,278.01 for Àre, rescue and medical services in the northern region of the township over the course of 2016. Of the $16,275 in per call revenue, Spence said the township had to write off $10,830 in unpaid bills.

“This has been an issue for as long as I can remember,” said Maureen Graber, during the contract discussion at the March 14 annual township meeting. “I’ve lived in the township for over 40 years and it seems the contract with Rice has always been a sore spot.”

Currently, the revenue generated by Watab’s contract covers roughly 27 percent of the Rice Fire Department’s annual expenses. Therefore, settling the contract is important to the city as well.

“No one is concerned about the service Rice is giving, the concern is a dollar to that service,” said Rice Mayor Dale Rogholt, at a March meeting. “If we can look at the dollar to that service and present what I think is a reasonable and just Àgure, then I think we move forward with a contract.”

Rogholt and the council gave its consensus to have Rice Fire Chief Scott Janski research the costs per call to the Àre department after the 2016 audit is approved March 20. The council extended contract negotiations so information could be gathered and analyzed.

But not all conversations regarding the unsettled Àre

Leader leaves industry, community legacy

Dan Coborn dies at 86

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

S

AUK RAPIDS — Dan Coborn lived his life by the Golden Rule. He treated everyone with dignity and respect. The former chairman, president and CEO of the grocery chain, which bears his family’s name, died March 15 – leaving a lasting legacy of leadership in the industry and community. He was 86.

“He always treated people well his entire life,” said his granddaughter Emily Coborn, who serves as Vice President of Fresh Merchandising at Coborn’s, Inc. “That was certainly his driving philosophy in the business. You always had to treat people well along the way, and you did it because it was the right thing to do.”

Coborn’s, Inc. began as a produce market in the town of Sauk Rapids in 1921. A third generation grocer, Dan began working for his parents, Duke and Florence, at a young age.

After graduating from Sauk Rapids High School, studying economics at St. John’s University and serving in the U.S. Army, Dan returned to the store, working alongside his father and brothers — Bob, Bill and Ron. After Duke’s unexpected passing in 1959, Dan was thrust into leadership of the company.

Growth would soon follow. The brothers expanded with two additional stores — Foley and the former Fifth Avenue near St. Cloud State — in 1963.

“When Dan and his brothers took over the company, they expanded out of economic necessity. They had four families to support off of one store. There wasn’t enough proÀt generated, so they expanded to support their families and from there the company just grew,” Emily said.

Dan Coborn, former chairman, president and CEO of Coborn’s, Inc., passed away March 15. He led the company for 40 years.

Coborn’s now operates more than 120 retail locations across six states. The employee-owned grocery retailer operates

its own central bakery, dry cleaning facility and grocery distribution center to support the grocery, convenience, liquor, pharmacy and online business. It has a $1.4 annual revenue and staffs an estimated 8,000 employees. Chris Coborn, Dan’s son, currently heads the corporation.

“He was so proud of the growth,” Emily said. “Every time there was a new opportunity or acquisition, he would just light up. That growth was so exciting to him because it showed grocery continued to be a great industry to do business; but at the same time, with every new store comes hundreds of jobs for the community. He was a businessman and he believed in the power of private business. To create that type of economic engine in different communities was rewarding to him. He saw that as a beautiful thing.”

Dan and his wife, Mabel, were heavily involved in the community and recognized that their success in business allowed them to give back. The two of them became charter members of the United Way of Central Minnesota in 1967, and Dan was a board member of the Boys & Girls Club of Central Minnesota. He provided gifts to numerous schools and sat on countless boards and civic organizations. The Coborn family and business received many accolades for their contributions over the years.

“He was so appreciative of the community because this is where he grew up. The community had been good to our company and him, so he felt it was a privilege to give back in a commensurate way. He took a lot of pride in that,” Emily said.

According to his granddaughter, Dan was also proud his son continued to grow the business and stay true to his philosophy of treating people well. He was pleased with the company’s decision to initiate an Employee Stock Ownership Plan in 2005, because it allowed those people who had helped

Corrections

In the article “Bringing the community together: Church focuses on family” from the March 9 issue of the Sauk Rapids Herald, it was stated the Rice Community Church was formerly held at the Old Village Hall. This was a mistake.

Prior to its location at Rice Elementary, the congregation met at Rice City Hall and Pine Country Bank.

Pastor Gene Thomsen’s comments were also misquoted out of context. We would like to inform the public that the Rice Community Church, formerly led by pastor Emil Williams, has always focused on relationships with God and not necessarily the rituals of traditional religious practices.

In the March 16 article “Zimmerman family helps heal Haiti,” Kurt Zimmerman’s name was spelled incorrectly as Curt. The Haitian term for Jesus – Jezi – was also incorrect as JZ.

Annual revenues increase

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

RICE — The 2016 city of Rice audit brought minimal concerns from Schlenner, Wenner & Co. Jon Archer, certiÀed public accountant and partner, presented the accounting Àrm’s Àndings during the city council meeting March 20.

“I was very happy when I saw your increase in the general fund this year,” Archer said. “I’d be really excited if I saw a couple more years like that. You have a policy actually on what you want your target fund balance to be in the general fund, and your policy is written at 50 percent of budgeted expenditures.

Right now you are at about 10 percent, so you are quite a bit lower than that. But I’m

WATAB TOWNSHIP – saukrapidsherald.com Three residents of 95th Street attempted to stop the upcoming road project, which is slated for construction this summer, at the Watab Township annual meeting March 14.

The project was approved in 2016, and the town board has changed the plans eight times since the Àrst drawings.

“The board has been more than accommodating to residents. The road was supposed to be moved to the center of the right-ofway,” said Lloyd Erdmann, supervisor for the township.

“We’ve moved the road from the center to allow extra footage for the property to the south. We have to do this project to correct past errors in the area; otherwise it will just continue to get worse.”

• Rice was awarded two score grants for the annual clean-up day and compost facility. The city will be reimbursed following the activities occurring.

hopeful if you have a couple years like you had this year, I could see that go up.”

According to the audit, revenues for the municipality exceeded budgeted expectations by roughly $26,000, largely due to funds awarded through the League of Minnesota Cities.

They city also spent about $41,000 less than expected, which resulted in a $68,249 increase in the general cash fund balance. The current balance is about $150,000, with $30,000 designated for Àre department, $40,000 for the police department and the rest remaining for unrestricted use.

Emily will remember her grandfather as a patient, persistent and determined entrepreneur who understood that growth didn’t happen overnight. She will also treasure how happy he was to be at the ofÀce.

“Even under stressful situations, he would encourage people to keep the faith,” she said. “He was a simple man and he loved the simple pleasure of being in an ofÀce surrounded by great people.”

Paula Kampa brought up that Gold Cross does not always respond as quickly as Rice.

“It is my understanding they [the RFD] have gone on three calls in this last three weeks in your township for medical calls,” Kampa said, addressing township board members in the audience. “Of those three calls they have beat Gold Cross by as little as eight minutes and as much as 15 minutes. If you think your residents or your constituents in your township would go for that in a medical situation I’m hard pressed to believe.”

Watab Township resident Katie Wilson attended the meeting with her husband and daughter. Wilson had the same concerns.

• The 2018 annual election and meeting was set for March 13, 2018. Polls will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. with the meeting immediately following.

• Residents are frustrated with the ongoing process with the Rice Àre contract.

Suggestions were made as alternatives to the contract, including Watab investing in their own Àre department. The annual meeting was recessed until July 11, 2017 at 7 p.m. to allow the board to investigate alternatives.

massive seizure Feb 15. I’m strongly opposed to dropping the medical because it took EMT services 30 minutes and she had a seizure for 30 minutes before anybody came,” Wilson said, clearly shaken. “The Rice FD showed up and provided her with oxygen and helped the police ofÀcer keep her airway open.

The medical professionals are amazed there is not further damage than what she has. So as a Watab township resident I’m very opposed to dropping that piece. I know she’s a little noisy out there but we are talking about a 2-year-olds life.”

Arlen Roos, a resident of Rockwood Estates, is concerned as well.

“It’s not the amount of

money at stake. It’s taking care of someone’s life,” said Roos in a separate interview. “There has to be a way we can still have medical service. They can raise my taxes, because I might use it [the services] again or there might be a little kid next door. And the Àrst person on site who knows what they are doing can save a life.”

Roos would like the Watab Township Board to look at billing alternatives rather than drop the services altogether.

“I think there has to be some sort of arrangement where the township can work with the citizens and an amount can come out of the tax base,” Roos said. “If they would pay for it though taxes and then surcharge the people for having services more than

twice a year … but don’t end the service. Someone is going to die.”

With the contract renewal pending and an extended deadline of July 1, the township residents took action March 14, giving permission to the board to explore other options.

One of the strongest recommendations was looking into having a Watab Fire Department. A few residents mentioned having a small building to hold a Àre truck and a Gold Cross ambulance, as well as living quarters for the responders, within the township.

“I think it would provide medical services quicker than it is now, because it would be in closer proximity,” Graber said. “And having a Àre truck would allow us to arrive and begin working while assisting Àre departments are en route to the scene. I think it’s a good idea.”

The board is exploring alternatives to the contract over the coming months. Updates and suggestions are expected at the July 11 continuation of the annual meeting.

Culinary team heads to nationals

SAUK RAPIDS – The Sauk Rapids-Rice High School culinary team continued a long-time streak March 9 as they brought home another state title for their management competition.

They will continue at the National ProStart Invitational April 28-30 in Charleston, S.C. as they compete for the national title for the 10th year in a row.

“It’s crazy awesome we made it to nationals again for management. I am so incredibly proud of my team,” said coach Mary Levinski.

The culinary program is in its 11th year at SRRHS, but only the 10th year for the management portion.

“Every year we’ve competed in management, we’ve won,” Levinski said.

“It’s pretty cool for the kids to know we have a streak like this. They work so much harder knowing they have the desire to keep it going.”

Sawyer Amo, Madelyn Adamski, Emma Ditlevson and Daighton Ripp make up this year’s team. Levinski says their management concept is spot on.

“That was as hard as a person could possibly push it.

I went home every night, but I literally was here every day for six straight months, including Christmas,” Meierhofer said.

“This building was the hype of the university in 1989. I was a young guy and I knew from the moment we got in here, we had to go hard, hard, hard to kick this thing off right.”

The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center has two Olympic-sized hockey rinks and houses 6,178 ticketholders during a single game.

project,” Levinski said. “It’s not one I’ve ever seen before, and I think they have good potential for nationals.”

The students are ecstatic about making the trip to nationals.

“It’s a huge honor to be at the competition representing our school and our state,” Ditlevson said. “Culinary has really become part of who I am, and it’s really exciting to compete at nationals. I knew I always loved baking, but I’ve really found my creativity through this program. I really

want to be a pastry chef now.”

Ripp also feels like it has helped deÀne her future career “It’s been a reafÀrmation that I want to be a family and consumer science (FACS) teacher,” Ripp said.

Adamski says it has helped her in a possible career path too.

“I’ve always wanted to be in the hospitality industry,” she said. “My experience with culinary has only fueled that passion, as well as giving me conÀdence in my decision on my future Àeld of work.”

This year’s national participation follows a Àfthplace Ànish in 2016.

“The kids are very excited, but anxious and nervous all at the same time,” Levinski said.

“It will be good for them to experience such a high-level competition. I do foresee them doing very well.”

“Speaking for the team, we are very excited,” Ripp said. “It’s a 10-year legacy we are trying to carry out. It’s a lot of pressure, but we feel we can represent Sauk Rapids-Rice very well.”

hockey camps for USA Hockey and its afÀliate, Minnesota Hockey. In 2013, the building underwent a renovation and expansion, which included club-level seating and a fourstory atrium.

Although there have been almost 10,000 days between that Àrst Huskies home game and the Ànal one of Meierhofer’s career on March 4, the director said his weeks and days are anything but routine. He is in charge of all aspects of operations in the building, except concessions and ticket sales. His season begins by hiring about 25 new employees each September because of the turnover of graduated seniors. Then, he attains security for each event, before installing the sheet of ice and continuing maintenance on rink equipment and the arena itself.

“A lot of what I do is consult with staff. What do we need to paint? What do we need to change? What do I need to replace? Every day that’s what I need to think about. What can I change, replace or upgrade?

And how am I supposed to pay for it?” Meierhofer said.

There has been one person signiÀcant to Meierhofer’s success, who hasn’t been on

his payroll. He credits Deb, a full-time St. Cloud Hospital employee, for juggling the schedules of his three athletic children — Brooks, Jacob and Kelly Jo — while he was busy with his job.

“My wife doesn’t get enough credit for me being gone for 30 of the 52 weekends a year,” Meierhofer said.

“She had been an incredible supporter of mine … to let me do this, because it’s demanding.

There have been some super long weeks, where I’m not around. I’m here. She’s been a big backbone for me that’s for sure.”

Keeping the promise comes with perks Work in the arena doesn’t stop for Meierhofer. On game days, he circles the building multiple times to make sure his facility is perfect. His ofÀce, which overlooks the ice, looks like a traditional work space rather than an executive suite.

Yet, his job does come with perks. Meierhofer has seen hockey’s Ànest skate on his ice before they were famous. He’s mentored multiple students.

And at each home game, he lets the home team onto the ice.

“I let the Huskies on the ice when it’s dark. That’s my thing.

I stand down there on the bench

and count down from 10 or 20.

These guys are jacked up like a bunch of bulls coming out of a pen,” he said. “I never get sick of that. I never get sick of the lights dropping, and I never get sick of hearing the National Anthem when the lights are coming back up.”

Meierhofer’s objectives haven’t changed from day one.

“This is a big-time, Division I, high-caliber, national-level facility,” Meierhofer said. “The minute you start running it like a Division II facility, you fail. If you start thinking small, you go backwards. You can’t, you just can’t.”

Although he said his intention to keep the facility looking its Ànest gets harder each day in the budget-cut world, he continues to do his best to hire and train team members who follow suit.

As for what’s next?

Meierhofer is looking forward to becoming a hockey fan.

Rather than pacing the building, problem-solving next fall, he’ll be in seat 12, row 3, enjoying the game.

After owning the best record in the NHL’s hotlycontested western conference for most of the season, the Minnesota Wild have lost seven of their past eight games and are in a severe tailspin.

The other elephant in the room is how poorly goalie Devan Dubnyk has played.

After looking like a strong contender for the Vezina trophy, Dubnyk’s play has deteriorated.

The Wild will Ànally get a reprieve over the next couple of weeks. Five of the team’s next six games are at home, and after Tuesday night’s game against PaciÀc Division-leading San Jose, the team will get to face some easier opponents like Philadelphia, Vancouver, and Detroit. Before the playoffs start, the Wild need to get back to playing the fast and crisp brand of hockey that vaulted them to the top of the western conference standings earlier in the season.

SAUK RAPIDS HERALD | THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 2017 | PAGE 5

OBITUARY Daniel G. Coborn

A Mass of Christian Burial was noon March 20, 2017, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Sartell for Daniel G. (Dan) Coborn, age 86, who died peacefully March 15 at his home in Sartell surrounded by loved ones. Burial was in the Sacred Heart Cemetery in Sauk Rapids.

Visitation was from 3-8 p.m. March 19 at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. Arrangements have been entrusted to Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Home, Sauk Rapids.

Dan was born July 25, 1930, to humble beginnings as the third of seven children to Duke and Florence (Graham) Coborn.

Like most Depression era children, he was put to work at a young age to help make ends meet. He – alongside his three brothers, Bob, Bill and Ron – took odd jobs as young boys. From checking eggs under a light for freshness to Àlling soft drink bottles to wrapping Àsh amidst the pungent odor, there were few jobs the Coborn brothers didn’t do.

Dan’s youth was colorful – full of mischief, antics and risk. In later years, he wasn’t proud of the trouble he had caused but he always took the good from the bad.

His childhood experiences taught him lifelong lessons of patience, enduring optimism and the power of second chances.

Dan graduated from Sauk Rapids High School in 1948. He went on to attend St. John’s University, where he played football. Temptations outside the classroom led to poor grades. One afternoon the Abbot called Dan to his ofÀce to bestow wisdom, “You know, Dan, the world needs truck drivers, too.”

Dan got back on the straight and narrow and graduated in 1952 with a degree in economics.

Dan married Mabel Hansen of Rockville on Sept.

9, 1952. He went on to serve in the U.S. Army where he was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri for two years. Upon discharge, he was accepted into law school at University of Minnesota, but declined the opportunity and returned to Sauk Rapids to work for his father. Dan quickly became his father’s right-hand man and assisted with a variety of management

Daniel G. Coborn

duties. In 1959, Dan and his brothers found themselves at the helm of the company after their father’s unexpected passing.

Dan led the company over the years with bold vision and resolve. He was the eternal optimist and had the ability to say so much while saying so little. His basic principles for business, leadership and treating others well, endure throughout the company today.

Dan felt a tremendous sense of duty to his community. In 1967, he and his wife Mabel became charter members of United Way of Central Minnesota. He was also a founding member of Boys & Girls Club of Central Minnesota.

Dan’s leadership in the grocery business and commitment to his customers and community earned him recognition over the years. In 1987, he was named Minnesota Grocer of the Year by Minnesota Grocers Association.

He also received accolades from College of Saint Benedict, National Grocers Association, St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce, St. Cloud State University and United Way of Central Minnesota. In 2002, he received the Father Walter Reger Distinguished Alumnus Award from Saint John’s University – the highest honor they bestow – for outstanding service to the Saint John’s community by an alumnus.

In 2013, Dan and Mabel were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the CentraCare Health Foundation.

Dan’s philanthropy was born out of wanting to give back to those who had been so good to Coborn’s. In 1999, he was honored to receive an award on behalf of the company when Coborn’s, Inc. was named one of the Ten Most Generous Companies in America. The award was sponsored by John F. Kennedy Jr.’s magazine, George.

In his later years, Dan

found satisfaction in watching his son Chris and his management team lead the company into new possibilities. Well into his 80s, Dan would drive from his home in Sartell to the former Coborn’s, Inc. ofÀce on the east side of St. Cloud, just to be there and read the paper.

He moved a little slower in his later years, but he never missed an opportunity to attend a Friday morning staff meeting. “It’s good to see you, Dan,” employees would tell him. “It’s good to be seen,” he’d reply.

Dan summed up success in these simple terms, “You work hard, you know what the goals should be, and if you want to put in enough blood, sweat and tears, you’ll succeed.”

Dan and his wife Mabel loved each other dearly during their 64-year marriage. They enjoyed travel, golf and leisure time with family and friends.

They generously opened their home to gatherings and fundraisers over the years.

Dan was a family man to his core. He loved his children, grandchildren and was especially excited when his Àrst great-grandchild entered the world in January 2017.

Dan is survived by his wife Mabel and his Àve children, Shelly Coborn, Chris (Becky Bergner) Coborn, Suzy (Marty) Ellis, Duke (Amy Armstrong) Coborn and Tom Coborn; grandchildren, Danny (Tina) Coborn, Maria Coborn, Emily Coborn, Michael Coborn, Peter Coborn, Maggie Ellis, Jack Ellis, Charlie Ellis, Duke Jr. Coborn and Willy Coborn; great-grandchild, Dahlia Coborn; and his sister, Nancy Fandel. He was preceded in death by his parents, Duke and Florence Coborn; brothers, Bob, Ron, Bill and Neil Coborn; his sister Betty Clepper and his grandson, Nicholas Coborn.

The family is eternally grateful to Darlene and the CentraCare Health Home Care and Hospice team, as well as personal caregivers April, Lori and Michelle.

In lieu of Áowers, memorials are preferred to the Coborn Family Foundation, or CentraCare Health Home Care & Hospice.

Jacks win first playoff round

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

In a best of three series, the Granite City Lumberjacks shut out the Breezy Point North Stars.

They won 5-0 March 18 and 3-0 March 17.

Granite City advances to the second playoff round, facing the New Ulm Steel Friday at Sports Arena East and March 25 in Sleepy Eye. If needed, a third game will be played at Sports Arena East on Sunday. The winner of the series will advance to the NA3HL Silver Cup Championship tournament in Illinois March 29 through April 2.

Granite City 5, Breezy Point 0 Lumberjack goalie Mac Berglove held off the North

Stars for the second time during playoffs March 18 at the Breezy Point Hockey Center. He saved 23 shots on goal from Breezy Point. The Jacks won 5-0.

Brady Dahl was the leading scorer for the Granite City team, scoring a short-handed goal in the Àrst and another goal in the second.

Granite City sat 22 minutes on seven infractions and the North Stars 24 on

eight.

SAUK RAPIDS – Fans of the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School golf teams may notice some changes for the 2017 season.

The golf team will look considerably bigger, due to the recent decision to co-op SRR with Apollo.

“I believe pairing with Apollo will help keep our numbers more consistent and stable,” said coach Dave Anderson. “Our numbers have typically been in the low teens. Ninth and 10th grades are stronger, but last year, we only had one senior and no juniors. In golf, you need numbers to run a competitive program, so we are hoping the co-op with Apollo will stabilize those numbers moving forward.”

Anderson continues to remain a head coach for the boys team, but is partnering with John Leiser. Leiser has been coaching the Apollo team for 48 years, but has a total of 53 years of golf coaching experience.

“I have known John for a number of years through different sports and we have talked quite a bit over the last few years at golf meets and at practice,” Anderson said. “I hope our golfers will be able to gain a lot of knowledge from him, as I know I will.”

Samantha Sommers will be coaching the girls

“I believe pairing with Apollo will help keep our numbers more consistent and stable.”

– Coach Dave Anderson team, which is experiencing similar change.

“I think both schools are going to beneÀt from this,” Leiser said. “I’m very excited to watch the strength of these teams increase. I am looking forward to what the team can do this season and to watch our athletes succeed.”

The Stormin’ Eagles started practice March 20.

Drumline puts on “Brave Face” Leading the Saluting great accomplishments in the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School

MORGAN LIEBL Parents’ Names: Leigh and Pamela Liebl Grade: 12th Accomplishment: Member of the concert choir at the high school.

What is your favorite part about choir and why? Our choral director, Mr. Mick, has made our choir what it is, our varsity choir (freshman) have grown in the past years, same with our women’s choir (sophomore/junior/senior). I’m not saying this as a biased answer, but concert choir (sophomore/junior/senior), has blown my mind in how skilled we have become. We have performed collegiate level music and sounded too old for our bodies. Everything our choir program has done wouldn’t be possible if Mr. Mick wasn’t here at Sauk Rapids. Choir is a safe place, no one judges you on how you act, what you wear, how you sing, no one judges you for being you. Being a part of choir is my favorite, I love to sing and it doesn’t matter what type of music it is; choral, country, pop, rock, R&B, all of it, I just don’t want to stop singing.

What is the best performance you’ve ever been a part of?

Do you have a favorite song you like to perform? The best performance I’ve been a part of was the winter concert last year. We actually sang one of my all time favorite songs ,“Omnia Sol” at that concert. I can still sing every word of that song to this day.

What are some other activities you are involved in within school? I have played volleyball at Sauk Rapids for the Àve years I’ve been here, but I’ve really played volleyball for 10 years. I also have played softball for the Àve years I’ve been here, but have played for eight years.

What has been your most rewarding high school class to date? The most rewarding class in high school for me was anatomy and physiology with Mr. Lelwica, probably the best teacher ever! The class was two trimesters and it had a lot of memorization. In the second trimester, we were dissecting fetal pigs. Towards the end of the tri we Ànished dissecting and said goodbye to our pigs and started to study for the Ànal. I cannot stress enough how nervous I was for this Ànal.

As I entered the class I took out my laptop and waited to take the test, once I Ànished I saw my score right away, I passed with a 156/170. I almost cried I was so happy.

What do you look forward to most during your senior year? I just want to live like there’s no tomorrow. In high school, you automatically think you rule everything and can do everything and that time is unlimited. Well, you’re wrong.

As I started high school, I thought graduation was so far away, and I had time to do whatever I wanted,. Now I want time to slow down so then I can have more time to properly say goodbye as I enter the real world.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? “No matter how hard it is you can always Ànd a way to succeed, as long as you’re conÀdent.” This is probably the best advice I’ve ever received, it was from my previous volleyball coach Kari. She saw that once a game became difÀcult my attitude would start to decrease. At the end of one game she pulled me aside and told me this. Afterwards, I’ve become more conÀdent if there is a tough obstacle ahead of me.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I love to hang out with my family and friends. It doesn’t matter what we are doing as long as I’m with the people I care for the most.

What are your future plans? I am planning on going to St. Cloud Technical College for the Àrst year after high school to get pre-requisite classes done for the program of my choice, physical therapy assistant. After I Ànish those I will be moving up north to Duluth to go to Lake Superior Community College for the physical therapy assistant program for two years for my associate degree in applied science.

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — The Sauk Rapids-Rice-Sartell drumline performed “Brave Face” at the Rock the Sauk event March 18 in the SRR High School.

According to director Eric Dylla, the group’s routine represents the masks people wear.

“Every day we put on a mask,” Dylla said. “A mask that hides our feelings. We have different masks for different parts of our lives.

Each mask helps us deal with the stress of our daily lives and situations we Ànd ourselves in. But what happens when we can’t hide our true feelings anymore? Do we take off our masks and let our emotions out? Or do we keep up the façade and put on our brave face to tackle the challenge?”

The 21-member drumline performed in exhibition, as they hosted the event. The group will compete April 1 at the Minnesota Percussion Association Preliminaries.

Defying the

Schultz innovates after injury

odds

BY NICOLE RUHOFF BENTON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH SUPERVISOR

BY ELIZABETH BETHKE STAFF WRITER

ST. CLOUD — Mike Schultz is a businessman and an athlete – no matter what life throws at him.

When the St. Cloud resident competed in a national snowmobile competition in Michigan December 2008, which resulted in the loss of his leg, the course of his life was forever altered. But it is what he did after the accident, not the injury itself, that changed his life and lives of others who suffered amputation as well.

“I had a bad start in the beginning of the race and was trying to make a pass – charging to a transfer position,” said Schultz, who participates in motocross, snocross and snowboarding. “I was going down a rough section when the snowmobile swapped sideways, lost control and it bucked me off.”

Schultz landed on his left leg while it was fully extended. It resulted in a hyperextension injury – shattering his knee. He vividly remembers kicking himself in the chin with his toe and from that point on, it was a race against the clock.

His wife, Sara, a nurse at the time, was by his side the entire time, riding in the ambulance with him as he lost blood and reassuring him the doctors were going to put him back together.

“For three days, the doctors tried to save my leg, but I became sick to the point where my kidneys were shutting down, and I was having issues with circulation,” Schultz said. “I had to make a decision.

My life was more important than my leg and the doctors told me that amputation was about the best option I had.”

Schultz’s left leg was amputated three inches above the knee center.

“It was extremely tough, emotionally, because of my career choice,” Schultz said. “Athletes

suffer injuries all the time, and they can usually be Àxed. But not this time. It comes with the territory. It’s a high risk-high reward type thing.”

After the surgery, Schultz made small goals for himself to get physically healthy. He started walking on his Àrst prosthetic leg six weeks later. As an individual who has always been fascinated by how things work mechanically and having knowledge about the human body after working with

several physical trainers, Schultz entertained the idea of building his own prosthetic leg to continue riding. Schultz’s family supported the decision.

Schultz took about a month to come up with a linkage system to make everything work efÀciently.

Once he had the design, he spent a week in the shop developing the Àrst Moto Knee prototype.

“I needed to come up with a design that would be fairly

lightweight and able to absorb impacts while riding motocross and snowmobile,” Schultz said. “There was nothing available that would accomplish that and still give me the range of motion I needed.”

Schultz’s design is based around a FOX mountain bike shock because of the compact, lightweight design with a lot of adjustability. The other two factors he had to take

An easy game to play, a tough one to master Pickleball popularity explodes in central Minnesota

BY MICHAEL STRASBURG STAFF WRITER

ST. CLOUD – “Back in 2011, there was nothing happening at Whitney in the morning,” Dr. Tracey Thompson said. “It was dark, the lights were out, there were people on the walking track, but nothing was going on.”

Those images, of dark and lifeless mornings at Whitney Recreation Center in St. Cloud, are unfathomable in 2017. Now, before one even enters the rec center in the morning they will hear the pang of paddles and balls, the screeching of active feet on polished wood, and maybe even a little friendly trashtalk. In essence, they will hear the sound of pickleball.

Pickleball, a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton and tennis, has taken the nation and central Minnesota by storm in recent

years. The sport — Àrst played in 1965 — is similar to tennis, but uses a whifÁe ball and paddles, only allows underhand serves, and includes a 7-foot no-volley zone near the net.

Pediatrician Tracey Thompson, a racquetball enthusiast at the time, encountered the game eight years ago. Thompson saw a posting in the St. Cloud Times that said the game was being played at Whitney.

What is Public Health?

Public health focuses on the health needs of the community as a whole, and gives priority to prevention over early detection and treatment of problems. By focusing on the greatest good for the greatest number of people, public health organizes resources to meet health needs and takes action to address community health issues.

With that being said, each county or jurisdiction has a statutory requirement to Minnesota’s Local Public Health Act, which outlines accountability requirements for community health boards. In Benton County, our requirement is met by an established unit of employees within the Human Service Department who are responsible for public health.

This brings me back to the title of this article, “Have you met the local Public Health staff?”

Our unit has a supervisor, me, who also shares the role of the Community Health Services (CHS) Administrator for the county with Robert Cornelius, the Human Services Director.

The CHS Administrator develops, implements and directs public health programs for the Benton County Human Service Board.

Benton County has three public health nurses — Deb Deger, Nancy Dahlstrom and Gina Rajkowski.

Two, work with pregnant women to promote healthy pregnancies and babies. They also work with families on parenting support. These nurses encourage breastfeeding, children’s growth and development, and healthy lifestyles. Public health nurses are familiar with available community resources and work hard to get families what they need to be successful. Our newest nurse assists families to obtain regular well-child checkups and in Ànding medical and dental providers. You might have seen her at the county fair last year assisting the tooth fairy.

Our registered nurse, Cloanne Wegman, is a “jack of all trades.”

She assists newly arrived refugees in getting connected to medical services.

She leads our efforts to prevent the spread of communicable disease, which includes disease investigation and immunizations. This nurse offers senior foot-care services and works in the WIC (Women’s, Infants & Children’s) clinic. She also may have helped you get a car seat or made sure you had it installed correctly.

Speaking of WIC, we have two other staff who meet with families enrolled in the program.

Pam Gohman serves as the program coordinator and both Pam and Sally Murray “certify” families for the program. They discuss each families’ nutrition and offer education and support for healthy eating, shopping and cooking. There is also a support staff, Brianne Zulawski, who assists families in getting enrolled in WIC and any other services our unit may offer. She keeps everything organized and and is key to the unit’s success.

Last but not least, we have three community health specialists. Two, work with the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership grant, known to many at SHIP. Samantha Hageman and Jenny Lezer are working to make the “Healthy Choice the Easy Choice” by reducing tobacco use and exposure, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition. You might also see them at community health events or serving on community partner advisory committees. Our other specialist, Julie Willman, leads our Public Health Emergency Preparedness work.

Remember Ebola? We have a plan for that! You may also see her leading the Benton County Substance Use Prevention Coalition and our car seat program.

So that was a short overview of Benton County Public Health.

TO: ALL PERSONS WITH A LEGAL INTEREST IN THE PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING DELINQUENT TAX LIST

A list of real property in Benton County on which delinquent property taxes and penalties are due has been filed with the District Court Administrator of Benton County. This list is subject to forfeiture because of delinquent taxes.

The property owner, taxpayer, or other interested person must either pay the tax and penalty plus interest and costs, or file a written objection with the District Court Administrator. The objection must be filed by April 25th, 2017, stating the reason why the tax or penalty is not due on the property. If no objection is filed, a court judgment will be entered against the property for the unpaid tax, penalty, interest, and costs.

For property under court judgment, the period of redemption begins on the second Monday of May, 2017, and ends three years later. The period of redemption means the time within which taxes must be paid to avoid losing the property through forfeiture.

To avoid forfeiture, taxes must be paid by the second Monday in May, 2020.

To determine how much interest and costs must be added to pay the tax in full, contact the Benton County Auditor-Treasurerʼs Office, Courthouse, P O Box 129, Foley, MN 56329, telephone number (320) 968-5027.

are jerks,” Thompson said.

“Most of the people have fun with it. They’re competitive but not to the level of making it not fun.”

In addition to breeding camaraderie and being socially inclusive, the game also lends itself to players of all skill levels.

“The thing about pickleball is it’s like peeling and onion — there are so many levels to the game,” Thompson said. “You can just go hit the ball around and have fun, but there’s levels to it. The classic line is it’s an easy game to play but a tough game to master. So there’s always a challenge of different strategies and shots you can come up with.”

At Whitney Recreation Center, the players are divided into different groups of skill levels, so as to provide adequately challenging, fun and competitive games for all players.

“At Whitney, the game is

blocked of into skill blocks,” Thompson explained. “The more beginner group meets at certain times and the more advanced group meets at other times.”

Pickleball is adaptable to players off all ages; even individuals in their 80s are regularly active in pickleball games at the Whitney Center.

Thompson encourages local residents of all ages, including seniors, to try pickleball once.

“There are two big components to senior health: one is activity and the other is socialization— pickle ball provides both,” Thompson said.

Pickleball is played at the Whitney Recreation Center multiple times throughout the week, both in the morning, afternoon and on some evenings. For Àrst-time players, Thompson suggests visiting during their Wednesday night session, 5:30-8:30 p.m., at Whitney Recreation Center.

For more information on where to play, when to play, the St. Cloud area pickleball club, or the game itself, visit www.stcloudpb.weebly.com.

into consideration were the total space available and the knee Áexion range. The knee frame was machined from aluminum and crafted from other stainless steel hardware parts.

“After I took a few steps with my new Moto Knee I knew I was onto something great,” Schultz said. “A couple years later, I Ànetuned a foot using a similar shock that really accents the way the knee works. The great thing with the foot is that it works very well for both above-knee and belowknee amputees.”

Schultz leg and foot designs have helped hundreds of amputees including members of the Paralympics team and veterans. He has taken several trips to more than a handful of countries where he has helped others.

His message is simple – life doesn’t have to be over after losing a limb.

“In 2011, I had the opportunity to travel to the Middle East on a military base and talk with veterans who had lost limbs,” Schultz said. “It was a powerful moment because I spoke to men and women and helped motivate them to continue on and stay positive.”

In speaking with veterans, Schultz encouraged them to look at the possibilities with this technology.

One of the veterans Schultz has met with was Christy Wise, a captain in the U.S. Air Force who lost

her right leg in a boating accident. Wise, an avid skier, was motivated by Schultz to get back on the slopes.

“I met with her in Denver, Colo. I helped her Àne tune her leg,” Schultz said. “I could tell she was frustrated after we stopped halfway down the run. She knew she was capable of skiing better, but the leg wasn’t cooperating. We made a few more adjustments and her attitude completely changed. After a few more runs, she was Áying down the slopes, passing me.”

Schultz began his journey with the idea and motivation to better his life and get back to where he was. Since his accident, he has competed and brought home a silver metal and numerous gold metals from the Winter X Games in the Adaptive Motocross and Snocross classes. But more importantly, he has motivated others who are in the same position as him to strive toward new normals.

Schultz’s current main goal is to compete at the 2018 Winter Paralympics in South Korea in the Parasnowboard competitions and go for the gold.

“Before the accident my main focus was to become a major athlete,” Schultz said.
