PUBLIC NOTICES
SAUK RAPIDS – On the sunny morning of Dec. 15, there were no animals in the barn at the farm of Elizabeth and the late Phil Pederson. Instead, a group of men and two boys gathered to prepare the former dairy for Living Waters Lutheran Church’s annual Christmas Eve in a Barn services. Hay and straw bales were aligned into pews and electrical wiring was tested for lighting and sound. The barn was transformed into a venue for families to share in the coming of the Christmas child. “Everyone smiles and they
can’t believe they sat in a working barn and went to Christmas Eve service,” said Dan Pederson, Phil’s son, of why his family continues to offer the site each Christmas Eve. “You see over 1,000 people who are happy – from everywhere, from all walks. It would be pretty tough not to do it.” Phil Pederson offered up his homestead at 5400 Golden Spike Road N.E., Sauk Rapids, 24 years ago. The first year, the church had one service with 150 in attendance. The event has since grown to four services at noon, 1:30, 3 and 4:30 p.m. and boasts an average of 1,000 guests that day. “When Living Waters got started, we used to have our services in the former high school (now Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle

– one word is rarely found on the list: Grief. Yet the merriment that surrounds many during the holidays, does not surround all. Holiday seasons can be a time of pain and discomfort for those who have lost loved ones throughout the year. Memories trigger sadness. Gatherings and social interactions may become overwhelming. “Other people’s lives are going on; the world goes on,” said Lisa Dalton, of St. Cloud. “It’s kind of like you’re standing back here looking at the world – everybody is happy, joyful, getting presents and decorating. You want to be happy for them, but yet you’re numb. You don’t feel that. You can still appreciate what they are experiencing because you know that joy, but it is hard to engage in it at that time.” Lisa and her husband Tim lost their son, Cale Dalton, to a seizure in March 2016.

from seizures which increased in severity as he aged and having autism, Cale lived with his parents his entire life. He was 31 when he died. “This will be our third Christmas he hasn’t been with us,” Lisa said. The Daltons said that even though Cale passed away roughly eight months before the Thanksgiving through New Year’s holi-
day season, the firsts that followed Cale’s death were difficult. “It’s not just the holidays,” Tim said. “There are things that just happen, spontaneously. … Something simple like I opened the drawer where I kept my shaving stuff. When he was young, he had a little plastic razor. He would put shaving cream on his face and wipe it off. That was always in my drawer. Opening that up and
seeing that was enough to make me feel sad. So, when it came to Christmas, seeing things he liked … or the things he used to say would pop into your head and you remember, somebody is not here.” The Daltons will facilitate GriefShare, a 13-week grief recovery support group for those who have lost a child, spouse, family member or friend, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 15, 2019 and meeting Tuesday evenings at Riverside Church, 1702 West Highview Drive, Sauk Rapids. Registration can be found at https://myriversidechurch.com/caregroups. “We certainly never thought we would be in this place, talking about grief, being the grieving parents and looking to minister to people who have had loss,” Lisa said. But just as the Daltons will be there for others this coming year, a family was there for them in their time of need. Following Cale’s death, the Daltons sought grief support from Pat and Judy Misener, of Smile Again Ministries, who had also lost a child. “It felt natural because they knew our story,” Tim said. “They knew what is was like and had made it their life’s work to help others who had experienced the same thing.” Lisa described the first year without Cale as a fog, and Tim and she agreed the second year without their son was harder on them

said. Roughly 50 people volunteer to help with the event from set-up, pageant parts, parking attendants and more. People travel from places further than Brainerd to attend the service each year as a family tradition. Dan describes the first year as more authentic due to the short time notice in the fully-operational barn. “We didn’t have time to clean it out before the service,” he said. “We didn’t have a keyboard or anything. We did everything a cappella.” But even with lights and microphones, the authenticity the barn brings to the Christmas story is apparent, as more than 2,000 years ago a barn is where it all began.

This year, the couple is healed enough to be able to make tiny adjustments as they move forward – like hanging Cale’s stocking for Christmas. “There isn’t a time limit for grief,” Lisa said. “Some people will move through the grief journey at a quicker pace. Others it takes a long time, sometimes even a lifetime because you’re missing that person.” Tim described the grief cycle following an event as an outward spiral. “The further away you get from that grief event, the more you are able to handle,” he said. “Different people have that journey at much different rates.” The couple agreed that taking as much time as needed to heal is OK as long as healing remains healthy. When grief begins to affect daily responsibilities, professional services should be sought. Lisa said there are a few words to the wise when facing the holiday season. People should prepare themselves for the emotions they may feel, acknowledge those emotions by refraining from drug, alcohol or busywork suppression, remember self-care (sleep,

One dead in Rice fire
RICE – One person was found dead in a camper fire Dec. 14 in Rice. According to a release from Rice Police Chief Ross Hamann, a body was found in the remains of a multiple camper fire Friday. The Rice Police Department and Rice Fire Department were dispatched to the Janski Garage, 50 Division Street N., in Rice at about 9 a.m. after a passerby reported smoke coming from a storage area of the business. Firefighters extinguished the flames of three campers and were informed by individuals familiar with the site that a person may have been in one of the campers at the time of the fire. Upon searching the burned vehicles, an adult victim was found. The body was transported to the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office for positive identification and autopsy. The cause of the fire and death of the victim remains unknown. As of the afternoon of Dec. 20, no additional details had been released. Rice Fire Chief Scott Janski said the fire was quickly knocked down and the department did not seek mutual aid. The Rice fire and police departments were assisted by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, Gold Cross Ambulance and Minnesota State Fire Marshal’s Office. Anyone with information about this fire is asked to contact the Rice Police Department at 320-968-7201 or Tri-County Crime Stoppers at 800-255-1301.

nutrition) is important and only commit or do as much as they can. “Don’t put it upon yourself that you have to get every decoration out or have every favorite thing for the meal,” Lisa said. “It’s OK to lessen thins, to do the things that are enough for you and what you can handle emotionally. There is always next year.” Lisa said those grieving should not feel shame because of their emotions. She gave the example of being in a retail store and being overcome with tears after seeing a gift her son would have loved. “It’s going to be an emotional time,” Lisa said. “Those attacks of grief are going to happen. … It’s alright. People around you may not understand, but they aren’t walking that road at that moment either.” The Daltons move forward by remembering Cale in the things they do. Each year for Cale’s birthday, the family gets together for Big Macs or tacos. “Those were his two favorite foods, so we have a remembrance day,” Tim said. “… We do things he enjoyed and what he would have wanted to do. We’re going to watch ‘Wheel of Fortune’, we’re going to eat Big Macs, we’re going to eat tacos, we’re going to
do something like that to be thankful for the time we had with him.” The goal is not to recreate a perfect memory, but rather to find joy while making new memories. “I don’t think you can duplicate things because it will be different,” Lisa said. “But you can work in those things and then make new memories. There will always be an empty chair at the table so to speak.” The Daltons said the support of each other and their faith has helped them cope. “You can be angry at
God and not understand why someone passed away,” Lisa said. “God’s big enough that he can hear you. You can let him know what you are feeling, and you can find peace by doing that. Things will never be the same but there is peace, acceptance and hope. That’s my biggest message. We have that hope – and assurance of that hope – that we’ll see Cale again someday. And we’re going to go on living until we do.” Hope. Another word found often at Christmas. A description found in times of both sorrow and joy.

RICE – A Rice man was found dead Dec. 17 in Brockway Township. According to Stearns County Sheriff Don Gudmundson, Edwin Opatz, 86, was found deceased in a burned field in the 10600 block of River Street, Rice. His body was burned. Law enforcement was dispatched to the site after receiving a call around 3 p.m. Preliminary investigation revealed Opatz had been burning grass pastureland earlier that day. Opatz’s remains were sent to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. St. Stephen Fire and Rescue along with Minnesota State Fire Marshal’s Office assisted the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office at the scene.

School) at the auditorium,” said Tim Carlson, who has helped set up the barn for 18 years. “… The pastor at that time didn’t think people wanted to be in the auditorium on Christmas Eve. Phil Pederson told Pastor Larry he had a place and hauled him out to the barn and said, ‘Let’s do it out here.’ That’s how it got started.” The services are typical of Christmas Eve with the exception of the rustic atmosphere in which it takes place. A non-speaking pageant with lights and sound accompany the pastor reading scripture. Christmas carols are sung between readings, and animals, such as donkeys, llamas and goats, are present. “I can remember more than a couple times where either pastor Larry, Todd or Denise were giving a sermon and the donkeys chimed in to the sermon just at the right time,” Dan said. Carlson agreed. “Or, when Casper the camel was outside and would start talking,” he said. “And boy did he have a voice.” Attendees sit on hay bales for the hour-long worship. They are urged to wear warm winter apparel.

Commissioners reduce amount before final levy approval BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
FOLEY – The Benton County Board of Commissioners continue to work diligently to reduce taxes in the county. The board approved a 2019 final levy increase of .77 percent, or $151,579, at the Dec. 18 meeting. This was down from the .95 percent increase they had projected two weeks earlier at the truth in taxation meeting. The total 2019 levy amount is $19,726,534. According to Benton County Administrator Monty Headley, the reduction came during a committee of the whole discussion Dec. 7 when the board reviewed staffing in the sheriff’s office. The hire of a patrol deputy will be offset by eliminating a vacant property management supervisor position and part-time court security position. Due to the reduction in the levy, the county’s tax rate will fall from 64.36 percent to 60.98 percent. The county will operate on a budget of $45,692,259 in the upcoming year. The board of commissioners also approved salary adjustments for elected officials at the Tuesday meeting. Following a committee of the whole discussion Dec. 7, the board approved raising the salaries of the auditor-treasurer, sheriff and county attorney by 4 percent. Approved 2019 salaries are as follows: $93,600 for the auditor-treasurer position, $110,323 for the sheriff position and $118,976 for the county attorney position. Commissioners will receive a 2 percent increase ($577), raising the annual salary to $29,426.

Due to the reduction in the levy, the county’s tax rate will fall from 64.36 percent to 60.98 percent. The county will operate on a budget of $45,692,259 in the upcoming year. Commissioners will also receive a $60 per diem on days when conducting county business on commissions, committees or boards. In other board news: - Jim McMahon, Benton County Commissioner District 3, called for adjournment at his last county board meeting as commissioner. McMahon, who has served Benton County as sheriff and commissioner, will complete his duties as an elected official Jan. 8 when commissioner-elect Steve Heinen is sworn into office as his replacement. Jim was awarded a timepiece in honor of his commitment to the coun-
ty, and George Fiedler, Benton County Veterans Service Officer, sang McMahon “Most People are Good”, by Luke Bryan before the meeting was adjourned. A reception of cake and refreshments followed the board meeting. Friends and family members gathered for the event. - Approved transferring $2.5 million from the revenue fund to the capital project fund to assist with potential renovation and expansion projects. The county had accrued $4.1 million in excess of the five-month operating expense standard prior to the transfer. The money will likely be
used to assist jail intake remodeling and human services space improvements rather than the county taking on additional debt. - Approved the county fee schedule. Human services eliminated background studies to charges as they are no longer completing that service, due to duplication of services by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. An archival search of $10 and increases for marriage licenses were added to be consistent with other counties and offset workloads. Camping fees at Benton Beach were increased to $150 weekly and $500 monthly. A charge of $25 for a swing away mail box post was added to public works to encourage usage of the posts and language for doubling fees for after-the-fact permits was added, among other items. - Approved changes

Rice levies for street, utility repairs BY NATASHA BARBER | STAFF WRITER
RICE – The city of Rice hosted its last meeting of the year Dec. 17, approving the 2019 levy and budget and saying goodbye to mayor Dale Rogholt. Rogholt, who did not seek reelection, has served the city for six years as mayor and will be replaced in January by mayor-elect Erik Bonde. Rogholt gave no parting words at the meeting but was thanked for his service by council members following adjournment. Rice approved a $481,111 levy, a $39,725 increase over 2018. Rice Treasurer Sheri Johnson said budgeted additions to the levy include an approximate $22,000 to rebuild a high service pump for the city’s water treatment and $20,000 to be set aside for street capital improvements. In other council news: - The fee schedule approval was delayed until January after discussion. A majority of the council members agreed more research should be done before raising fees and residents should be given proper notice. Most also said they would vote against a resident fee for the compost site.
Fees regarding building rental, chicken permits, property maintenance and bulk water usage will be discussed at an upcoming meeting. - Approved and signed the Watab Fire Contract 2019-20. - Rice City Engineer, Jonathon Fleck, of Bollig Inc., said his company would need to research the amount of volume and the impact it would have on city infrastructure in order to make a recommendation to the council regarding Rockwood Estates request to hook up to the city’s water system. Fleck brought a proposal to the city. Council members requested that Rockwood Estates pay the amount of the feasibility study. The council gave its consensus that if the mobile home business chooses not to pay for the study, they will not move forward with the request. - Accepted a donation of $206.45 to be earmarked for the Rice Police Department from Shepherd of the Pines Lutheran Church. - Accepted a donation of $9,241 from the Rice Firefighters Association to be used toward the purchase of the 2018 Kubota RTV.

common themes are beginning to be established from the conversations, including mental health.
OBITUARIES DeLoris C. Cashman
The passing of my mother, DeLoris ‘Dee’ C. Cashman, 90, occurred Dec. 7 while she was sleeping peacefully in her room at Country Manor in Sartell, the town where she was born and raised and spent most of her life. Dee’s passing was both sad and joyful: Sad for the loved ones she left behind and joyful because she is now with her husband, Hisle D. Cashman, as well as her parents Jacob and Helen Brezinski, her siblings Ray and Earl Brezinski, and many other relatives and friends. Her passing was also a blessing because Dee’s health had begun to fail two days earlier. Thanks to her wonderful caretakers at Country Manor’s memory care unit, Dee was kept pain and discomfort-free. Dee left behind a legacy she passed onto her children and grandchildren, having taught us to love and care for all animals, be they part of our family or animals in need. As a result, hundreds of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, ducks and more have been cherished and saved by her descendants. Dee also taught her children and grandchildren to treat all people fairly and to speak out against injustice. Her daughter-in-law Nancy once described Dee as the Judge Judy of our family, which was apropos. Although Mom was always there for us, in addition to being loving and supportive, she also scolded us when we were out-of-line, expecting the best of us once our lessons were learned. My brother Mark said he could always confide in Mom. “She was my bestfriend. I am going to miss her,” he told me the day she passed. My brothers Mark, Mike and I were always proud of our mother, as

was my father. She was intelligent, well-spoken, elegant and lovely. Dee left behind many people who loved and respected her, including: her first cousin Bernie DeVries, sister-of-herheart, who has been Dee’s best friend since they were born; her three children, Mark Cashman, Mike Cashman and his wife Nancy, and me, Kay Cashman; her niece Diane Winscher, one of several nieces and nephews and Dee’s primary caretaker in her final years; her grandchildren Trisha Harren, Ray Lasley, Laura Lasley, Dan Wilcox and wife Lea, Darian Westerlund and partner Lisa, Lance Westerlund and wife Melissa, John Lasley and wife Barb, and Mary Lasley. Special thanks to Hisle’s brother Gene Cashman for the home and appliance repairs he did for Dee and Hisle, especially since Hisle’s health first began to decline more than two decades ago.

PUBLIC NOTICES BENTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 5, 2018 The Benton County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on December 5, 2018 in the Benton County Board Room in Foley, MN with Commissioners Warren Peschl, Jim McMahon, Ed Popp and Spencer Buerkle present and Commissioner Jake Bauerly absent (excused). Call to order by Chair Popp was at 7:00 PM followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Peschl/Buerkle unanimous to approve the amended agenda—add item: final payment for construction project CP 005-2018BO—2018 bituminous overlay and patching project. No one was present to speak under Open Forum. Chair Popp announced that the County Board is conducting a Truth in Taxation public meeting on the County’s proposed 2019 budget and levy; the purpose of this meeting is to take questions and comments from the public. Monty Headley, County Administrator, presented a summary of proposed 2019 county levies as prepared by the Association of MN Counties—Benton County’s proposed 2019 levy is the lowest percentage increase of all 87 counties (Statewide average is a 4.75% increase; Benton County’s proposed increase is 0.95%). Headley continued with a summary of the major factors in the proposed 2019 budget and levy: • The proposed 2019 levy increases 0.95%, or $186,446 from 2018, to a total of $19,761,401 • With this proposed change for 2019, the 10-year average levy change for Benton County is a 0.1% reduction (the proposed 2019 levy is $212,364 less than the 2010 County levy) • The proposed levy keeps the increase below the 6.4% expected growth in the County’s payable 2019 tax capacity, which translates into a reduced County tax rate in 2019; the County tax rate will fall from 64.36% to 61.09% (estimated) of tax capacity (down from a peak of 77.74% in 2013) • The proposed 2019 operating budget totals $45,671,926, an increase of $2,658,931, or 6.2% from 2018 • Of this total spending increase, $2.2 million is related to a larger 2019 road program (primarily the
SAUK RAPIDS HERALD | SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 2018 | Page 7
County Road 78 reconstruction project from CSAH 2 to the Morrison County line, which is funded from accumulated levy funds, County Program Aid and wheelage tax) • The proposed budget includes the following “policy issues”: o $422,990toallowtheHumanServicesDepartmenttoexpanditselectronicdocument management system to the Social Services units (Child Protection, Mental Health/ Licensing and Adult Services) o $40,000 for the Sheriff’s Office to purchase bodycameras for its DeputySheriffs o An additional Social Worker for Human Services ChildProtection to address increased caseloads o $88,934 to allow the Auditor-Treasurer’s Office to replace all the County’s voting equipment o $140,000 added to the Highway Department “patch” budget for increased maintenance overlays of County roads o $15,000 to upgrade the County’s emergency operations center (where the County’s responses to disasters are coordinated) o Approved 2019 policy issues total $633,252; reserves fund most one-time capital purchases (Human Services EDMS, body cameras, election equipment and EOC upgrade) • Employee compensation and benefits add $416,758 to the 2019 budget; this amount funds a 2% general wage increase in labor agreements, plus step and longevity increases; the County will have no health insurance premium increase in 2019 • Increased spending is partially offset by $75,287 in additional County Program Aid • The proposed 2019 budget also uses $140,000 from inmate boarding revenue as a levy offset instead of following the past practice of dedicating this amount of inmate boarding revenue to capital projects (Revenue Fund reserves are adequate to fund the 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan, allowing the County to use inmate boarding revenue to reduce the property tax levy) Headley explained where the county’s resources come from (44% from property taxes, only 5% from County Program Aid) and where the dollars are spent (salaries, wages and benefits make up 47% of the total “all funds” budget); the top three functions of Human Services, Highway and General
Governmental comprise 70% of the County’s proposed 2019 budget. He presented a listing of approved 2019 policy issues as well as a summary of funding to outside agencies. Chair Popp called for those wishing to speak during the public meeting portion. Speaking at this time was Roger From, 31 – 6th Avenue, Foley; Mr. From stated his concern with “the high taxes in the county”. (This portion of the meeting concluded at 7:18 PM.) Consent Agenda item #7 was “pulled” for further discussion. Peschl/Buerkle unanimous to approve the remaining Consent Agenda: 1) approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of November 20, 2018 as written; 2) accept and file Committee of the Whole Minutes of October 30, 2018 as written; 3) approve Engagement Letter with CliftonLarsonAllen for audit of the 2018 financial statements, and authorize the Chair to sign; 4) approve a 2% general wage increase for nonunion employees, effective January 1, 2019; 5) accept Annual Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) and authorize the Chair to sign; 6) approve 2019 license renewal for Silver Corners for on-and-off sale of 3.2 malt liquor; and 8) approve final payment for construction project CP 005-2018BO, 2018 bituminous overlay and patching project, to Knife River, and authorize signatures on the final pay voucher. Regarding Consent Agenda item #7 (approve 2019 Tobacco License Applications), McMahon felt that more information was needed—a statement from the Sheriff and/or County Attorney attesting to whether there have been any license violations and whether or not the license holder has passed compliance checks. There was consensus of the Board to bring this item back to the December 18th Board meeting. Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county. No Commissioner Concerns were noted and no Committees of the Whole were set. McMahon/Buerkle unanimous to adjourn at 7:50 PM. Edward D.

Second half lull costs Storm against Eagles
n BY MARK KLAPHAKE STAFF WRITER e I The Storm boys bast mketball team could not novercome a slow start to gthe second half and lost 93.76 to St. Cloud Apollo Dec. n18 in St. Cloud. SRR was trailing 41-38 l at halftime, but the Eagles gscored the first six points kof the second half and was oable to keep the Storm at aarms’ length the rest of the nway in the Central Lakes sConference matchup. “It was the first 2-3 n dminutes of the second half nthat got us in a hole, and we sdidn’t have enough to dig eout from that,” said Derek Peterson, head coach. The game margin ret .mained around 10 until the end when the Storm tried to –increase the pressure and ythe Eagles got some garybage baskets. n Both teams played oan up-tempo style and the theart-pulsing pace is going to be the Storm’s style going forward. “We’ve made a decision as a group and team that we’ll play the style of basketball you saw against Apollo; the up-and-down style,” Peterson said. “We feel like we have a much better offense when we do that and much better flow to our game when we do that.” The Storm have scored 70-plus in five of their six games so the speed is conducive to his squad on the offensive end of the court. Defensively, Peterson hopes the Storm can step it up a notch and get big stops when they need to. “The kids seem to enjoy playing that style more as well,” Peterson said. “Offensively we’ve been
successful at it. We’ve scored 70, 80, 90 points almost every time we played that way. It’s just been the issue of stopping the other team. We still have to do a better job defensively when we play that way. We feel if we practice this way and play this way for the next two to four weeks, we will get a lot better at it.” The Storm had four players score in double figures. Cade Milton-Baumgardner scored 19, Jake Schloe and Kobe Lee each had 17 and Tyler Hemker dropped in 10 points. SRR shot 23-61 from the field, including 8-26 from 3-point range. SRR, 0-6, will play two games over the holiday break. They play Blake at 1 p.m. Dec. 28 at St. Cloud Apollo and a day later they will play Apple Valley at 7 p.m. at St. Cloud State University. SRR: Milton-Baumgardner 19 (6 rebounds, 3 assists), Lee 17 (7 rebounds, 3 steals), Jake Schloe 17 (6 rebounds), Hemker 10 (6 rebounds, 3 steals), Braden Tretter 6 (3 rebounds, 3 assists), Landry Seaman 3, Noah Jungwirth 2 and Josh Schloe 2.

Lumberjacks clear-cut the NA3HL Showcase BY JAKE DOETKOTT | STAFF WRITER
The Lumberjacks participated in the NA3HL Showcase in Blaine Dec. 16-18. The team played three matches in sequence against the Binghamton Jr. Senators, Lewiston-Auburn Nordiques and Milwaukee Power. Granite City made it through day one with ease. The second match was a tense low-scoring showdown and the Milwaukee-Lumberjack matchup was a similar nail-biter. Granite City emerged undefeated. The Lumberjacks will play in Alexandria Dec. 31, and return home to host Rochester Jan. 5, 2019. Granite City 3, Milwaukee 2 The Milwaukee Power and the Lumberjacks had a vicious first period that had the Lumberjacks on thin ice well into the second period. The Power got the puck sliding at 5:57 in the first period, when Jake Berry, assisted by Caleb Beversdorf, scored. Granite City forward Bailey Sommers fired back with an unassisted goal at 7:37. The Jacks were hungry for more, but the Power snatched the next goal before the period closed. Ethan Dabbs scored, assisted by Berry – who leads the NA3HL with 51 assists this season. Granite City had a tough time cutting through Milwaukee’s defenses. The second period saw only one goal. Matt Moran, assisted by Zack DeBoom, evened the score at 17:12. In the third, the Lumberjacks found an opportunity when Milwaukee was called for tripping, creating a fiveminute power play. With Milwaukee a man down, Moran returned to the penalty box and hit the ice running, scoring in 42 seconds. Moran, assisted by Montana Streit, claimed the lead for Granite City, earning the game-winning goal. With 9:30 remaining, the Jacks fended off the Power’s attempts and closed out the game ahead by one. Aaron Dickstein manned the net for Milwaukee, while Bryce Crowley tended for Granite City. Crowley recorded the win, making 19 saves to Dickstein’s 18. Granite City had 10 minutes of penalty time from five calls. Milwaukee accrued 43 minutes from seven infractions. Granite City 2, Lewiston-Auburn 1 The Lumberjacks played the Nordiques Dec. 17 in a close match that ended in a fierce third period. David Mulligan manned the net and made 20 saves. Nordique Daniel Miller goaltended and made 37 saves. Ryan Pogue made the first goal of the night, with assists from Sommers and Blake Spetz, at 13:38. The Nordiques answered one minute later. Zack Mullen scored, assisted by Joshua Malone and Joshua Sanchez. Granite City shattered the 25-minute stalemate merely one second before the second-period buzzer sounded. DeBoom lit the lamp at 19:59 in the second, assisted by Troumbly and Jordan Olson. He scored the game-winning goal as the Lumberjacks held off the Nordiques the entire third period. Granite City had four minutes of penalties from two calls. Lewiston-Auburn accrued 22 minutes from seven infractions. Granite City 6, Binghamton 0 Granite City’s tender Matt Fitzgerald secured the shut-out victory for the team with 21 saves Dec. 16. Binghamton goalie Jeff Zero made 33 saves and remained in net all night. Both teams played a disciplined game with few penalties and not a single power play. Binghamton accrued 10 minutes from five infractions, and Granite City earned four minutes from two calls. Troumbly opened at 6:41 in the first period with assists from Kearby Larson and Cooper Smith. Trevor Dummer, assisted by Smith, was hot out of the gates in the third period, scoring in under one minute. Dummer scored once more, assisted by Pogue, seven minutes later. Hunter Schwehr, assisted by Sommers and Olson, claimed the fourth goal of the evening, and Brad Amundson made the sixth goal unassisted.

Storm girls fall in four games BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
The Sauk Rapids-Rice High School girls basketball team was defeated in four games this week. “Over the last week we have been making small gains,” said Megan Foley, head coach. “We have really been focusing on looking up the floor and passing the ball. Each game has been very different, and different girls have stepped up and played big roles. We have had several girls getting more confident in what they are doing on the floor. The effort is there most of the game. We lack size at a lot of positions which is something we are trying to work with.” St. Cloud Apollo 75, SRR 45 The Storm lost by 30 points, despite having one of the highest scoring games of the season Dec. 18. Shayna Payonk, Grace Roesch and Bailey Roscoe were the three highest scorers for SRR.

Roscoe was right behind, putting up nine points for SRR.

The Sauk RapidsRice High School boys swim team splashed into its season Dec. 13 as they hosted St. Cloud Apollo and Rocori for a double dual meet. The Storm defeated their opponents by a large margin, defeating Apollo 112-71 and Rocori 12736. “We are always pleased to start the season on the right path with a couple victories,” said Ray Nelson, head coach. “As we progress into the next few meets, it will be important to see where we stand as an entire team and see where our pieces may fall as we eventually enter postseason swim and dive.” The Storm had a number of first place finishes, many from swimmers who were state participants last season – Kayden Daniels, Ben Claassen, Isaac Freese, Jack Grabinski and Thomas Daniels among them.

Storm’n Sabres defeats St. Cloud, Willmar squads BY LAURA HINTZEN STAFF WRITER
At the start of the season, the Storm’n Sabres girls hockey head coach, Marty Anderson, stressed working on defensive play in order for the team to be successful. That effort has paid off, especially in the Dec. 18 game when the SSRR took on the St. Cloud Ice Breakers and won, 2-1. “The St. Cloud game was tight checking and low scoring,” Anderson said. “We controlled the play putting twice as many shots on goal as the Ice Breakers.” The first and second period were scoreless. The Ice Breakers scored the first goal just over two minutes into the third period. “We gave up a goal quickly in the third period,
but answered with two of our own,” Anderson said. Mallory Heder scored on a power play with 5:36 on the clock. Two minutes later, Lauren Wensel made a nice play off the draw to score from the point. Goalie Chloe Stockinger did well in the net, picking up the win on 17 saves. SSRR had two penalty minutes on one infraction and St. Cloud had eight minutes on four. The Storm’n Sabres travel to Moorhead Dec. 22 to play at Moorhead Sports Center. The team then begins a holiday tournament at 7 p.m. Dec. 27, facing Fargo North at Bernick’s Pepsi Arena in Sartell. At 2 p.m. Dec. 28 SSRR plays West Fargo at the same location. SSRR 3, Willmar 1 SSRR played a tight battle with Willmar Dec.
14, but managed to come away with a 3-1 win. “We played well against Willmar,” Anderson said. “They have a good goalie who kept the score closer than the game probably was, and we outshot them 51-18. Our forecheck in the offensive zone made it difficult for them to get out of their own zone and lead to us carrying the play for the entire game.” Brooke Walters scored the first goal of the game with 3:22 left in the first period. This marks Walters fifth, first-goal of the game in a row. “She is a talented player that we need to score,” Anderson said. Ingrid Buiceag-Arama scored on a power play at the top of the second period with assists from Madison Mollner and Wensel. “Ingrid may be the hardest working player on
our team, and she really brings the energy to everyone with how she moves her feet,” Anderson said. While the Storm’n Sabres held a 2-0 lead at the top of the second, that quickly changed when a Willmar opponent scored with 6:39 left on the clock. Walters managed to score the third and final goal of the night which helped the girls to victory. “We have leaned on Chloe Stockinger more in goal of late due to her exceptional play,” Anderson said. “She is never out of position and the way she controls her rebounds really helps our team not give up a lot of shots or scoring chances.” Stockinger had 17 saves to record the win. Each team sat nine minutes on three infractions.
boys hockey
SRR overwhelms Legacy Christian BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
The Storm boys hockey team caused an avalanche Dec. 15 as they hosted the Legacy Christian Academy team. SRR controlled the puck the majority of the game and posted a final buzzer win of 15-3. The Storm also hosted Sartell Dec. 13, losing 9-2, as well as traveling to take on North Branch Dec. 18, losing 4-1. North Branch 4, SRR 1 Brady Pesta posted the Storm’s lone goal at 6:48 into the second period with assistance from Brandon Bokelman and Daymin Dodge. “We played a good back-and-forth game against North Branch,” said Ken Karna, head coach. “We were short a few guys, so we ran out of steam.” SRR attempted 24 shots, as opposed to 34 from North Branch. Both teams sat six minutes on three infractions. Riley Weinand tended the net, making 30 saves. SRR 15, Legacy Christian 3 Sauk Rapids-Rice took the game by storm early, with Gavin Laine scoring the first goal at 1:33. Laine accomplished a hat trick within the first period. Mason Wiebusch, Connor Cariveau and Chase Christensen each contributed two goals in the game. “This game was fun to see the guys get back to having fun on the ice,” Karna said. “We had a couple guys get their first varsity goals, but more importantly was what the team took away from the game. Legacy had 11 guys, but never quit. I think it was a good lesson for our team to never quit no matter the score.” Following the first goal, the Storm added six more during the first period. Wiebusch scored at 7:43. Laine slashed one in at 11:11. Christensen found the net at 15:15. Dodge added one at 16:17. A mere 21 seconds passed before Cariveau put the puck passed the tender at 16:38. Laine slashed in the final goal of the period at 16:51. The Storm had as much success in the second period, adding six more goals. Christensen started with a goal 33 seconds in. Cole Tenvoorde added a goal at
8:14. Wiebusch added one 33 seconds later. TJ Apps was the next one to find the net, putting the puck in at 10:34. Cariveau added one at 14:13. Schultz put in the last goal of the period at 16:55. The Storm calmed in the third period, only scoring two additional goals. Lunser lit the lamp at 8:58. Pesta added the Storm’s final goal at 10:45. Multiple assists were tallied by Dodge (5), Bokelman (3), Laine (3), Wiebusch (3), Cariveau (2), Drake Raduns Parsley (2) and Pesta (2). Apps, Tenvoorde, Carter Kayser, Landon Lunser and Jordan Schultz each had one. The Storm attempted 45 shots, as opposed to the eight from Legacy Christian. SRR sat four minutes on two infractions, while Legacy Christian sat two minutes on one. Weinand was in goal for SRR in the first period and made no saves, but was replaced by Grayson Kobluk at the start of the second. Kobluk made five saves. Sartell 9, SRR 2 Dodge led SRR against Sartell Dec. 13. He scored both of the team’s goals in the first period. The first was scored at 1:52 with assistance from Cariveau and Pesta and the second was at 12:29 with help from Raduns-Parsley and Pesta. SRR attempted 18 shots while Sartell attempted 42. Both teams had a number of penalties – SRR sitting 16 minutes on eight infractions and Sartell sitting 18 minutes on nine. “The game got out of hand with penalties on both sides,” Karna said. “There wasn’t any real flow to the game. We certainly can’t give up four power plays and expect to win.” Weinand was in goal and made 33 saves.
