Benton County Property Management Director Jim Whitcomb informed the Rice City Council Sept.

5 of a proposal the county has received from Potlatch Land and Lumber, LLC. Whitcomb was accompanied by county commissioner Ed Popp. The two were seeking feedback before a county decision is made.

The lumber company submitted an agreement to Benton County for the removal of pine and non-native trees in Bend in the River Park on the east side of County Road 55. Potlatch would pay the county approximately $30,000 to be able to harvest the wood.

Bend in the River Park was purchased by the county in 2002 and

SAUK RAPIDS — While every pregnancy is a miracle of its own, some are more climactic than others. The birth of Derek and Michelle Peterson’s son, J.R., is one of those tales.

J.R. began defying the odds even before he was born. His parents underwent in vitro fertilization in order to conceive. Doctors harvested 19 eggs from Michelle’s ovaries, 15 were fertilized, but only one developed into an embryo that could be implanted. Studies suggested there was only a 40 percent chance the pregnancy would be successful. It was — but not without complications.

Although Michelle felt healthy during her pregnancy, doctors monitored the Àrst-time mother’s blood pressure because she was at risk for pre-eclampsia, a pregnancy disorder which can result in maternal or infant death. Michelle was admitted to the St. Cloud Hospital March 3, where she spent the next 19 days until the birth of her son.

Derek, an experienced nurse in the midst of transitioning to a new job at Ridgeview Place Senior Living, slept by her side on the hospital sofa all but two nights.

“We pretty much knew he was going to come early; we just didn’t know when,” said Michelle, who works as a nurse practitioner at the St. Cloud Hospital on the Stroke Team. “I think every night I laid there and cried. There were a lot of times I would sob — probably once a week I broke down really bad because all sorts of things run through your mind.”

Each morning, and sometimes more than once, Michelle and her

Derek and Michelle Peterson’s son, J.R., spent 80 days in the neonatal intensive care unit after being born three months early.

baby received an ultrasound. Doctors also provided her with steroids to stabilize her blood pressure, but blood Áow to the child was altered and eventually reversed.

“They (doctors) said they had to give him the opportunity to grow on the outside,” Michelle said.

Judd Roy (J.R) Peterson entered this world March 21, 2017 weighing 1 pound 6 ounces and measuring 12 inches long. Born at 26 weeks and six days gestation by Cesarean section, J.R. was delivered three months before his due date. He spent 80 days in the hospital’s Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before joining his parents and family at their Sauk Rapids home.

“He was a little bigger than a

pound of butter. They called him a micro preemie,” said Derek of his son’s birth size.

The joy the new parents felt of the birth of their Àrst child together was quickly overshadowed by the severity of the situation. Immediately following birth, machines were hooked to J.R. to monitor his vitals.

He was given IVs and a feeding tube and oxygen was administered because his lungs hadn’t yet developed.

“When he came, it was so surreal,” Michelle said. “Obviously, I was worried and terriÀed for him, but it just kind of feels like you go on autopilot … this is what we have to do and we’ll be here every day.”

J.R. spent his Àrst weeks in an

isolette or incubator which provided controlled temperature and humidity so his body would not burn calories creating warmth on its own.

Within a week, the couple was able to hold J.R. while his tubes were in for short periods of time. J.R. was making progress in the outside world, but he still had a long journey before he could be released. His lungs would need to further develop and he would have to learn to breathe on his own; his bone marrow needed to begin making red blood cells; and his stomach and gastric system needed to be able to absorb food.

“Before he could come home there were a couple things that

RICE – Pam (Raetz) Benoit fondly remembers her days in high school, spending time with her friends, attending various school festivities and swimming competitively.

It is the latter of her high school experiences that she had been remembered and will be recognized for as she prepares to be inducted Sept.

23 into the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School Athletic Hall of Fame. Benoit will be honored, alongside Heidi Landwehr (‘89), Don Reedstrom (‘50) and coach Ben Miller, at a Hall of Fame Brunch and

Induction Ceremony at 10 a.m. in the high school commons that day.

“I am extremely proud to be a part of this community and now to represent female swimming in the hall of fame,” Benoit said. “I actually had an idea I was being nominated because my daughter, Ella, was asking me a lot of questions. So it’s cool for both of us that I got picked.”

Ella is indeed proud of her mom and her accomplishments.

“I decided to nominate my mother for the award because I think she is one of the most talented girl swimmers Sauk Rapids has ever seen,” Ella

said. “I had really high hopes for her to win because she deserves to be in the hall of fame. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind. I knew she would get in.”

Ella and her younger sister, Lily, have followed in their mom’s footsteps as two of the Storm’s strongest swimmers.

“Having my mom as a swimmer makes it easy for Lily and I to talk to her about our sport,” Ella said. “She understands times and how hard practices can be, so it’s nice to relate back to her.

SAUK RAPIDS – Ben Miller has long been a sports enthusiast. As a student at Starbuck High School, he competed in football, basketball and baseball through his sophomore year.

He continued to be involved in athletics through the end of his high school career and into college as a football manager.

His passion for sports was fueled, yet again, as a coaching role opened Àve years after Miller took an elementary teaching position with Independent School District No. 47 in 1973.

“I always loved sports and knew I wanted to be connected somehow,” Miller said. “In 1978, there was an opening for a girls junior varsity basketball coach at Sauk Rapids. I was hired and my passion for coaching and athletics has only grown from there.”

Even today, Miller is still involved with Storm athletics, particularly softball.

It is his coaching career that earned him a place in the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

Ben Miller earns a spot as a Sauk Rapids-Rice High School Athletic Hall of Fame inductee for his extensive coaching career. He will be inducted Sept. 23 at 10 a.m. in the high school commons.

Benoit (‘90) and Heidi Landwehr (‘89) will join him as the 2017 inductees.

“To be inducted into a Hall of Fame where I spent 39 years teaching and 3035 years coaching is very humbling and rewarding,” Miller said. “It’s a great honor and I am excited to represent Sauk Rapids in this way. But I owe my family a lot because they let me coach all these years.”

Miller continued.

“I loved teaching here and coaching. It was always fun getting to coach former students or the daughters of former students and athletes,” Miller said. “I really feel fortunate to be in Sauk Rapids and have the opportunity

to watch the town and its students grow and change over the years.”

His Àrst go-around as a head softball coach, which lasted 19 years. Miller led the team to three conference championships, six regional or section Ànals and to the 1984 state tournament. He was also a key player in starting the Sauk Rapids summer softball program in 1984 and starting the St. Cloud Area Fast Pitch Softball League in 1990.

Miller coached girls basketball, with most of his experience at the ninth grade through varsity assistant levels. However, he was the head basketball coach for six

OPINION

Letter to the editor

Texans need our help

Owen Miller, Sauk Rapids I think an issue that needs to be discussed is Hurricane Harvey. There has been about 40 inches of rain and also nine days of nonstop downpour. At least 45 people have died from Harvey, and I am sure there is more to come.

Harvey started an explosion at a chemical plant. There are people helping, but I think there needs to be more help with Harvey. An estimated 136,000 homes or buildings have been Áooded or destroyed from the hurricane. I think people should donate money or supplies to the victims of Harvey. People need to do this because the people of Texas need our help. You can donate by going to http://www.redcross.org or by texting Harvey to the number 90999 to make a donation.

Put all seemingly burdensome situations into perspective. An eternal perspective. And I mean all of them: your omnious debt, your better spousal battles, your gray hair, the picket sign you’re about to grab, your child’s deÀant attitude and your suffering loved ones.

The Kingdom of God is near!

“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken” (Luke 21:25 and 26).

There’s so much to be done in a day it is dizzying, but being reminded with the solar eclipse and hurricanes that we are nearing the day that the rat race is over, is bittersweet. On one hand, there will be so much pain before the glorious day our Rescuer comes, (Luke 21:8-36). For some, it’s much more than just a rat race. Some are enslaved in abuse and some just had their homes ripped from them.

On the other hand, once all things take place,

BY MERCY NYGAARD we look up and say, “Now is it time?” Time when there will be no more death or mourning Life by Faith or crying or pain, (Revelation 21:4).

With this in mind and Hurricane Irma and Hurricane J, K, L etc. on the horizon, it helps to keep on in seemingly burdensome situations. It helps to plug away at the debt, make up with the spouse, shrug off gray hairs, grab the Bible instead of the picket sign, sit down for conversation with your child and pray and love through your loved ones sufferings.

May God grant you this truth this day to turn your eyes upon Him. “Look full in his wonderful face; and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His Glory and grace,” Hymn by Helen Lemmel.

Revelation 22:20, “Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus.”

“Sometimes you don’t play well and win. I think the girls know we can play much better yet. But I will take that ‘W’ any day,” said head coach Dave Anderson.

The effects of the Àrst day of school and long trip were evident in the Àrst set before the Storm settled in and took over.

“They were very resilient in coming back. Those are the kind of things you can’t simulate in a practice. What a great learning opportunity for us. That was great to see they responded that way and came back,” Anderson said.

Ringger takes top spot, Severson fourth

BY ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

Sam Ringger and Julia Severson were the stars of the Sauk RapidsRice cross country team Sept. 7.

SRR hosted St. Cloud Apollo, Eden Valley-Watkins and St. Cloud Christian in their only home meet of the season. During the races, Ringger took the top spot for the boys and Severson found herself at fourth in the girls race.

“It was a great win and great conditions out here,” Ringger said.

“This is a spectacular turnout as well.”

Head coach Marie Zeilenga couldn’t be more proud of her team,

many who ran their best time at the meet.

“I’m proud of the whole team and their hard work, especially Sam,” Zeilenga said. “The miles and the hard work these kids are putting in will pay off. Having personal best times really encourages them and helps them set goals for themselves for the rest of the season too.”

The team travels to Little Falls Sept. 14 to continue their season.

Girls results: 4th Severson 22:04; 8th Emma Mader 23:47; 12th Emily Sutton 24:33. Boys results: 1st Ringger 16:36; 10th Alex Torvik 20:09; 11th Jared Bentrud 20:25; 12th Cooper Grau-Firkus 20:55; 13th Dakota Johnson 21:03.

Parents’ name(s): Kelly and Lori Mader Grade: 12 Activity/Sport accomplishment: Captain of the cross country team.

What is your favorite part about cross country? Why? There are many things I like about cross country, but I’d have to say my favorite part is being able to push yourself as hard as you can. Feeling accomplished after you see your time and knowing that all the hard work you have put in up to this point has paid off.

What is your best game/meet to date? My best meet to date is the LitchÀeld meet because it is the course I hold my personal record on, but the most fun course to run, in my opinion, is Kimball.

What other activities are you involved in at school? At school I am also involved in track and Àeld.

What is your favorite high school class to date? If I had to pick one high school class to be my favorite, I would say yearbook would be my favorite class so far. I like working on something that you can see your progress on and it helps capture the memories of everyone’s high school experience.

What skill do you possess that most people don’t know about? A skill I possess that most people don’t know about is that I am very opinionated and I don’t let other people’s thoughts and actions deter what I am going to do.

What are you most looking forward to in your senior year? In my senior year, I am most looking forward to this upcoming cross country season and making it the best season yet. I am excited to have one more year with my team and watch everyone grow together and achieve great things.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? I have received plenty of advice throughout my years of running, but I think the best advice I have gotten is that I am stronger than I think I am and I always need to truly believe in myself Àrst because I can achieve it if I believe I can.

What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time I like to run and spend time with my friends and family.

What is your favorite meal and movie? Meal: Lasagna.

Movie: “McFarland USA.” What are your future plans? My future plans after high school are to go to college to further my education and continue my running career. I also plan to go to law school.
