Graham United Methodist celebrates quasquicentennial
Levy approved, land rezoned BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS — The Sauk Rapids City Council approved a 7.1 percent increase to the 2018 preliminary levy Sept. 25. The increase amounts to $253,900 and budgets for Sauk Rapids Police OfÀcer Sean Gales to return early to the department from the Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force, as well as an additional building ofÀcial assistant to be hired in April. City Ànance director Jack Kahlhamer said he couldn’t specify the exact impact on taxpayers due to the unveriÀed tax capacity but commented that a home valued at $200,000 would likely see at a $77 increase. Kahlhamer stated taxpayers would see additional increases not associated with the city levy as well. The preliminary levy information did not change since the prior update in August. The council has the option to decrease the levy before December. Kahlhamer said he would have updates to the enterprise fund and general fund, as well as the capital improvement plan before that time. Perhaps more controversial at the meeting, was the approval of the rezoning of 10.59 acres from agricultural land to residential. The property in question — located at 11th Street North and Summit Avenue — is considered to be quite wet and the agenda item brought more than ten residents to the meeting. Community development director Todd Schultz recommended that the council approve the rezoning as it is an action in accordance with the city’s comprehensive plan, but also stated that the rezoning alone would not constitute a structure being erected. “Before the city would be willing to offer a building permit on this property it would have to be delineated for wet lands to determine that there is a pad back there large enough to accommodate a home,” Schultz said. “You can’t build in a wetland, so they will have to establish that there are in fact high areas that are not considered legally a wetland for them to be able to get a building permit.” Despite his information, city residents had questions and opposed the property being developed. Some people disputed the undeveloped city street and worried that the wet lands would be destroyed and the pine trees would be taken down. “I’m personally against

society, rural churches are dying. This church, for some reason, after 125 years seems to be as strong as it possibly can. There is a strong community here — whose roots are here and families are here — and they continue to maintain the ministry of this congregation.” Graham United Methodist Church — 2255 135th Street NE, Rice — is celebrating their quasquicentennial, or 125th anniversary, with two worship events that will eventually hold their own place in Graham’s thick history. Bishop Bruce Ough, leader of the Dakotas-Minnesota Conferences, and Minnesota Big Waters District Superintendent Susan Nienaber will participate in the Sunday, Oct. 8 service at 9 a.m. A meal will follow, with a chance for those attending to socialize with Ough and Nienaber. Toward the end of the month, on Oct. 29, the church will highlight its history in the 9 a.m. Sunday service with former pastors in attendance. Coordinator of Celebrations, AnneMarie Vannurden, has arranged the events and invites all those wishing to participate to the place celebrations those days.
Although the church was ofÀcially incorporated in 1892, Graham has roots that extend into the 1870s. Evangelical Association missionaries began serving the spiritual needs of the pioneers in the area and by 1885 eight families were gathering as a congregation in homes and at the local school house. The group was assigned a pastor from Royalton who rotated between the areas of Elmdale, Hay Creek, Royalton, Buckman and Rice. “The pastor was a circuit rider and the congregation would only get him occasionally. They were meeting in homes and the pastor came by horse and would stay with a family. The Schumann family here is known for taking in the pastor and keeping him overnight,” said parishioner Cliff Weitgenant, of Rice. The, then, Evangelical Association church, which became United Methodist through the merger of denominations over the years, continued to grow with the ofÀcial articles of incorporation being Àled in 1892. A 36 by 24 foot church was built and a cemetery plotted

Spreading kindness
Chinander creates a school-wide walk BY ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – So often in schools, bullying, teasing and general dislike are a common theme among students. Ian Chinander has seen these issues and wanted to do his best to put an end to it. “My mom and I were researching some history one day and it was apparent there is not enough tolerance of each other and not enough kindness in the world,” Chinander said. “I didn’t like that, especially in our own school. I wanted to change that so I brought up the idea of having an anti-hate, or tolerance, walk for our school. They liked the idea, so here
we are.” Chinander’s idea came to pass Sept. 22 when the whole of Mississippi Heights Elementary School went for a walk around the outside of the school. “Ian brought the idea to our principal last year and then it was passed onto myself and Megan Foley (behavior specialist). Ian’s idea was to walk to the middle school, but that just wasn’t doable with the schedules we have for school this year,” said Tara Prom, MHES social worker “We turned it into a walk around the building and coupled it with our visit from a well-known hip-hop artist, Tyler Lydeen.” Chinander took up the idea of having a walk from previous walks the school has done, such as Walk for Life. “Having a walk worked for other things at the school seemed to work
well, so I took the idea and worked with it,” Chinander said. “The more people we have involved in it, the better the message will be received.” For Chinander, it all comes back to kindness, tolerance and respect. “I really want to make kindness a priority,” Chinander said. “If kindness isn’t important, we hear a lot of nasty things and kindness is way better than those things.” Throughout the walk’s planning and development stages, Chinander had to present to a couple different groups, including Prom and Foley and the student council PATH

Brighter than sunshine SunÁower grows from school Styrofoam BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

Isabella Ramey, 7, stands in front of a giant sunÁower Sept. 22 at her home in Rice. This past spring, she brought the plant home from school.
At 4-feet 1-inch Isabella looks up and smiles. Her cheeks blush red as you ask her the spelling of her name. With a jeweled headband, black-framed glasses and colorful clothing, Isabella Ramey is the epitome of a 7-year-old girl. Yet, what stands behind her is anything but typical, or is it? Last spring, like many Rice Elementary students, Isabella brought home a sprouted sunÁower that was planted in a white Styrofoam coffee cup. The then Àrst-grader had sowed the seed in a unit of Mrs. Christensen’s class. “We were planting some sunÁowers,” Isabella said. “It was an activity. We had to do who can grow the sunÁower the biggest and I think I won.” Although the lesson may

ANGELA KONZ Accomplishment: Co-captain of the Sauk Rapids-Rice volleyball team that is 8-3 overall. Parents’ names: Joni Saldana and Mike Konz Grade: 12 What do you enjoy most about volleyball? The thing I enjoy most about volleyball is the team aspect. I love being a part of a team that supports each other and in turn brings success. Each person on the team has their own speciÀc role. It’s so cool to see all of these separate roles come together and get the job done. Cheering on my teammates and celebrating victories with them gives me a feeling of joy I haven’t found anywhere else. Being part of a volleyball teams has taught me countless life lessons that I believe have helped me become the person I am today. What’s the best game you’ve ever been a part of? One of the best games I’ve ever been a part of is our recent game against Rocori. Winning against Rocori had been an obstacle for the team for the past few seasons. This season the team made it happen, and I believe it was due to our willpower and overall team effort. I think it showed people what the Storm volleyball team is capable of. The energy in the gym was so intense, and I had the biggest adrenaline rush. It really showed me how amazing playing high school volleyball can be. What are some other activities you are involved in within school? I am also involved in basketball and Minnesota Honor Society.

What has been your most rewarding high school class to date? My most rewarding high school class is any one of the art classes I’ve taken throughout high school. They allowed me to explore my interest in art, something I don’t have much time for outside of school. What do you look forward to most during your senior year? The thing I’m looking forward to most during my senior year is probably graduating. Before that though, I deÀnitely want to work hard, improve and have fun both academically and athletically, so I can look back on my senior year with pride. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? The best advice I’ve ever received is from my parents. I use it every day and in everything I do. They tell me it often and it usually goes along the lines of “Try your best and give it 100 percent because at the end of the day it’s all you can do”. It’s a little cheesy but it works really well for me since I tend to be a perfectionist and it helps me move forward from setbacks. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? In my spare time, I enjoy reading, drawing, spending time with family, watching NetÁix and working outside in the barn with all of my critters. What are your future plans? After high school, I plan on attending college. I’m not completely sure where or for what yet. I’m currently looking at all of my options. Leading the Storm is Sponsored by:

The Rameys’ sunÁower may pale in comparison to the world’s tallest — a 30foot, one inch plant found in Germany in 2014 — or the most Áowers — 837 blossoms on a Michigan plant in 2001 — but for the local family its appearance has them more than in awe. And the smile it has brought to young Isabella’s face is brighter than the sun that shines on her Áower itself.

quite the reconstruction effort because every detail had to be authorized by the war board. It was just so rigid in what people were allowed to use or consume. Everything went to the war effort. Luckily, we were approved to get the lumber and even a bell.” Brian Foss, Chair of History and Archives at Graham United Methodist, was surprised the war board approved the bell at that time. “That was the one thing I thought was amazing,” he said. “Because during the war efforts all metals were used to build tanks, planes, ammunition and guns.” Weitgenant added. “Seventy-Àve years later we are still ringing that bell. It was quite the effort to rebuild. It wasn’t like you just went to Menards or Mills and brought a hay wagon of supplies out here. It was much more intensive,” Weitgenant said.

What once was a main thoroughfare, became a road off the beaten path. Yet, through it all, Graham United Methodist survived. The church has continued to see major renovations over the last 25 years to the updated facilities that appear today. “In today’s world, you want to build a church where there is visibility. This church, through some strange coincidences, ended up being segregated out in an area; and yet, it continues to grow,” Rev. Koehn said. “I think it’s just a celebration of the fact that even before 125 years, there were people here. They laid the foundation, and we’re here now to continue to build on that foundation and build for the future.”

I believe there is far too much hate and divide going on in our society right now and people have forgotten how to tolerate one another and be respectful,” Chinander said. “I want to help spread the movement of caring about one another.

visit, which resonated a similar theme of kindness and respect. “It being a two-hour late start day, the kids were excited and schedules were changed, so we Àgured it would be a good day to have both of these things,” Prom said. “The kids get excited about anything out of their ordinary school day and they seemed to really catch onto the message of kindness.” Chinander wants people to know he created the walk for himself and his school because he wanted to do it. “I wanted to do this, but not just because my school wants me to do this. I did it because I wanted to,” Chinander said. “Kids learned lessons of kindness and tolerance too and that’s really what is important. If I was able to do another walk like this, it would be longer and the whole school would walk at once. I think that would make more of a statement and people would wonder what we were up to. That’s step one to spreading the kindness.”

A wedding had taken place at the Schulz home where the circuit-riding pastor gathered for services as there was no church at the time. Fourteen people, including the newlywed groom, pastor and pastor’s wife, all died. On Aug. 29, 1941, a lightning bolt struck the steeple of the church and it burned to the ground. It was a total loss. An unattached social hall, one piano, a few pews and some books and Bibles were the only items to survive. Parishioners used the hall as a worship place until the war production board permitted a new church to be built a year later. “The church was rebuilt in 1942, which is an interesting year to be building anything because of WWII,” Weitgenant said. “It was

The church was moved in 1913 to the present location to better accommodate the congregation. Weitgenant said the central location of the congregation had shifted. “Rather than ride a horse or crank an automobile to go to church, it made more sense to move the church than to move the people,” he said. Today, roughly 145 family units call the church their place of worship. About a third of them are new to the area with no family ties. The church draws congregation members from northern Benton and southern Morrison Counties — areas such as Rice, Little Rock Lake, Royalton, Pierz, Moral and Ramey. “If you count singles, couples, families, children and anybody who is associated or involved with our church, the number has hit roughly 400,” Weitgenant said. “Four hundred people, in some regard, have a tie or connection on a formal basis.” Despite Graham United Methodist’s lengthy history, the church did not survive without the faith, perseverance and dedication of its members.

Letter to the Editor
Profanity pollutes
Tony Kroll, Sauk Rapids I am inspired by the Mercy Nygaard article “A breath of fresh air” last week. She bought an air puriÀer to get rid of obnoxious gases that poison the air in her house. She, being a mother, is very realistic. She did forget one, maybe more, bad gas. I want to add it to the list. That bad gas is the profanity, using God’s name in vain and other obnoxious words that are used in today’s world. Then we wonder why some youth and some adults do not go to church anymore. Some “believers” are polluting the air and chasing the people away. We need an air puriÀer.
Say what?

BENTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING MINUTES – AUGUST 15, 2017 The Benton County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on September 5, 2017 in the Benton County Board Room in Foley, MN with Commissioners Jake Bauerly, Warren Peschl, Jim McMahon, Spencer Buerkle and Ed Popp present. Call to order by Chair Peschl was at 9:00 AM followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Áag. Buerkle/Bauerly unanimous to approve the agenda as written. Gerald Wruck (1017 Garden Brook Drive, Sauk Rapids) appeared under Open Forum, urging the Board to keep the Auditor-Treasurer position elective, not appointive. Mr. Wruck also inquired of the cost to the county for maintaining Bend in the River Park, stating his belief that the park appears to be under-used and a better location for a park would have been in the central part of the county. Commissioner Popp noted that the City of Rice is looking at the possibility of establishing a trail to the park as they feel more residents will utilize the park if it had better access to it. McMahon/Popp unanimous to approve the Consent Agenda: 1) approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of August 15, 2017 as written; 2) accept Radiological Emergency Preparedness Grant and authorize the Chair to sign; 3) approve Grant Agreement with the State of MN for a $5,000 Safe and Secure Courthouse Initiative Grant, and authorize the Chair to sign; and 4) approve Purchase Money Security Agreement for S.C.O.R.E. Grant—City of Sartell—for two recycled park benches, and authorize the Chair to sign. Chris Byrd, County Engineer, presented Benton County Road Right of Way Plat No. 11, stating that this plat designates the limits of the new right of way for the next phase of the CSAH 29 extension; Plat No. 11 includes the area from Golden Spike south to County Road 45/CSAH 8. Byrd explained that, if approved, this plat would be used by reference in easement documents to acquire the additional highway easements to expand the right of way to 60 feet from the center of the road (the dimension of 60 feet was chosen because this is a typical right of way width needed when building a two-lane highway to modern standards-additional right of way would be acquired at the two locations where Mayhew Creek crosses the road so there is room to build a bridge or at least expand those culverts). Byrd clariÀed that the right of way already secured on this corridor was for future alignment which is not a road today—the current acquisition process relates to right of way south of CSAH 3 where it’s currently a county road, but still a narrow right of way. He pointed out that, should the Board desire to move ahead with the right of way acquisition process, there should be sufÀcient funding available to cover the costs. Referencing a number of homes which are close to the roadway, Byrd noted there are a lot of “unknowns” at this point which will need to be addressed in negotiations. McMahon inquired if a slight shift in the roadway could be done to avoid those homes. Byrd stated it may be a possibility as the preliminary design for roadway construction has not yet been completed. Noting that the right of way to the north has already been purchased, Peschl stated his belief that the remaining acquisition should move ahead. Byrd stated he will continue on Ànalizing the plat as the next step in the right of way acquisition process. Byrd explained that, in 2015, the Minnesota Local Road Research Board published a report that estimates the service life of steel culverts for different gages of steel and different coatings; the report considered 18-, 16-, 14-, 12-, 10- and 8-gage galvanized and aluminized steel pipe. He pointed out that, because of the soils in Benton County, an 18-gage galvanized pipe can only be expected to last less than 25 years; although 16-gage galvanized pipe can be expected to last between 25 years to less than 50 years, a signiÀcant portion of Benton County can expect to see service lives of less than 25 years with 16-gage steel. Byrd noted that, a year ago, staff made the decision to go with 16-gage aluminized steel pipe which has an expectation of 50+ years of service life; with that in mind, Byrd inquired if the county should be requiring entrance permit holders to be installing aluminized pipe to maximize the expected life (the landowner pays the upfront installation cost and the county maintains the pipe thereafter). Peschl inquired about utilizing 10-gage plastic

ST. CLOUD — A St. Cloud man was arrested Sept. 20 following a search of his home from the Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force. Jon Jenks, 26, was arrested for second degree possession of a controlled substance and being a felon in possession of a Àrearm. The CMVOTF conducted a search at Jenk’s home — 622 Wilson Ave. SE — where they located a .22 and 25 caliber hand gun; 250 prescription pills; 28 grams of cocaine; mushrooms; and a small amount of marijuana. They also located $2,335 in cash. A second party, 24-yearold Sireatha Tek, was also arrested and charged with fourth degree possession of a controlled substance. Both parties were transported to the Sherburne County Jail. The CMVOTF was assisted by the St. Cloud Police Department SWAT team and K-9 unit. The task force is comprised of ofÀcers from the cities of St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids and Little Falls Police Departments, along with deputies from Stearns, Sherburne, Benton, Todd and Morrison County Sheriff’s OfÀces.

pipe. Byrd noted an issue with plastic pipe “backing up Áow” and, potentially, causing the ditch to be perpetually wet. McMahon stated his belief that the landowner should abide by the same standards that the county utilizes for their own culverts. Byrd stated a GIS estimate of over 5,000 parcels bordering a county roadway; using that estimate and a culvert pipe service-life estimate of 25 years, the county should be replacing 200 entrance culverts a year—if the service-life estimate of the pipe can be increased to 50 years, the culvert replacement would drop to 100 per year. Byrd added “…we’re not where we should be as far as keeping up with the maintenance…” Bauerly inquired of the additional cost to the homeowner to install the aluminized pipe versus the galvanized pipe ($240-$320 additional cost). Byrd clariÀed that, currently, the homeowner has the choice of buying the 16-gage aluminized pipe from the county’s stock or buying the 16-gage galvanized pipe from a retailer. Board consensus to require entrance permit holders to install the aluminized pipe—the same standard the county utilizes for their own culverts; Byrd will bring forth an updated entrance pipe policy for formal Board approval. The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:37 AM to conduct a Human Services Board meeting. The Regular County Board meeting was reconvened at 9:58 AM. McMahon/Bauerly unanimous to adopt Resolution 2017-#35, approving a grant contract with the MN Department of Veterans Affairs, providing Benton County $12,500 to spend on approved veteran services activities, i.e. outreach, training, and authorize the Chair to sign. Noting that Karri Thorsten’s last day at the county was August 31st, Monty Headley, County Administrator, referenced previous discussions of the Board about the long-term goal for the Auditor-Treasurer position—that it remain elective or, possibly at some point in the future, seek special legislation to allow it to be appointive. Headley explained that, in the interim, he is requesting Board acknowledgement of Nadean Inman’s assumption of the role of Interim Auditor-Treasurer, as well as setting the salary for her service as Interim. He stated Inman’s salary preference of $74,000—arrived at by looking at the initial salary of the former Auditor-Treasurer along with Inman’s experience and responsibilities, as well as salary comparisons with other counties. Headley noted that when previously setting the salary for the Interim County Recorder, the Board considered the pay grade associated with the County Recorder position and then set the salary at step 1 of that pay grade; if the Board followed a similar practice for Interim County Auditor-Treasurer, the salary would be $70,616 (would increase to $72,030 on January 1st when applying the 2% COLA). Board members brieÁy discussed the differences between the Recorder and Auditor-Treasurer’s OfÀces in terms of number of employees, functions/ responsibilities, as well as the issue of consistency. Following further discussion, motion by McMahon to set the salary of the Interim Auditor-Treasurer at step 1 of pay grade 16 or $70,616/year, effective September 1, 2017 (following the same process as was done when appointing the Interim County Recorder); further clarifying that Inman will receive the 2% cost of living increase effective January 1, 2018, and noting that this action is not an appointment to serve out the remainder of Karri Thorsten’s term. Second by Popp. Motion carried unanimously. Board members noted that this item may be revisited at a later date if desired. Lee Katzmarek, Human Resources Director, explained that Marsh & McLennan Agency (MMA) was approved as Benton County’s Agent of Record for Benton County’s employee health insurance in February 2017; MMA are able to offer services related to consulting, claims analysis, administration, and employee education. Katzmarek noted that the BeneÀts Advisory Committee has been working closely with MMA since June; the proposed agreement with MMA would run through 2017. Popp/Bauerly unanimous to approve a contract with Marsh & McLennan Agency to provide professional services for the administration of employee beneÀts, and authorize the Chair to sign. Headley explained that, when a bonded County ofÀceholder changes (departure of Karri Thorsten), the County Board is required,

under MN Statutes, to conduct a “thorough examination” of the bonded ofÀcer’s account; further, the County Board is required to “witness and attest the delivery of accounts, books, vouchers, and funds by each outgoing treasurer to the successor”. Headley noted that this review may be conducted by an independent accounting Àrm. Buerkle/Bauerly unanimous to approve an engagement letter with CliftonLarsonAllen to conduct agreed-upon procedures in the Auditor-Treasurer’s OfÀce due to a change in the bonded ofÀceholder, and authorize the Chair to sign. Headley announced that tonight, both Watab Township and the City of Rice will be reviewing the proposal of Potlatch Corporation to remove trees from Bend in the River Park; Commissioner Ed Popp and Property Manager Jim Whitcomb will be in attendance. Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county. Under Commissioner Concerns, Peschl referenced the reclaim project on CSAH 13 and the fact that a number of homes have concrete driveways up to the road right of way. Chris Byrd, County Engineer, conÀrmed there are three different driveways where concrete has been installed right up to the edge of the roadway. He stated plans to replace all the culverts under all the driveways on this project. Byrd stated that letters were sent to all affected landowners months ago, informing them that the county’s policy for this project was that when concrete was removed, it would be replaced with bituminous as it’s a bituminous project and that is what is readily available. Byrd indicated that the current entrance policy does not address this issue; he inquired of the Board’s opinion on this issue. Peschl stated his belief that the landowner assumes the risk if they install concrete up to the edge of the roadway. Popp commented “… before they put that concrete down, they should have looked where their property ends…” McMahon inquired of giving the landowner the option of replacing with concrete with the landowner paying the difference between the cost to tar and the cost to concrete. Bauerly commented that, as a contractor, he has “seen it both ways”. Byrd noted that the contractor bid on the tonnage which included driveway replacement with bituminous. Peschl requested clariÀcation as to whether the landowner would have the option of using plastic for culvert replacement. Byrd conÀrmed that, under the county’s current practice, the landowner would still have that option; it may be wise to add the requirement that the landowner must counter-sink the pipe so it’s “Áush” when using plastic pipe. McMahon stated his opinion that the landowner should be required to meet the same standards as the county utilizes for culverts (16-gage aluminized pipe). Under Commissioner Concerns, Peschl requested an update on the cleaning of County Ditch 13/County Ditch 15. Byrd conÀrmed plans to move forward with the cleaning this month; the contractor has met with some of the landowners. Peschl inquired if the responsibility for Àeld crossings along county ditches lies with the county or the landowner. Byrd stated that if a Àeld crossing does not currently exist, the landowner installs the initial crossing; thereafter, it is maintained by the Ditch Authority through the assessment process (speciÀed in ditch law). Under Commissioner Concerns, Popp referenced the new bridge on CR 42. Byrd indicated that the bid opening will take place on September 8th; awarding of the bid will take place at the September 19th County Board meeting. Bauerly inquired if the contractor could start earlier if the Board were to call a special meeting. Byrd stated that this would be a possibility once the lowest responsible bidder was known and if that bidder was ready to start. Headley reminded the group that a special meeting requires posting of the meeting three days prior. McMahon/Popp unanimous to set Committees of the Whole: September 21, Benton County Association of Township OfÀcers. Buerkle/Bauerly unanimous to adjourn at 10:47 AM. Warren J. Peschl, Jr., Chair Benton County Board of Commissioners ATTEST: Montgomery Headley Benton County Administrator R-40-1B
