Around the world in an armchair Duo shares international travel experiences to locals

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — If James Grabinski and Michael Smith counted the number of countries they have visited on Àngers, they would need a half-dozen friends to help. The St. Cloud residents have set foot in more than 75 countries and all seven continents.

“We always have something booked,” Grabinski said.

Smith agreed.

“You Ànd a lot of people who travel a lot will do that,” said the 54-year-old. “That’s kind of how it works, planning ahead. Not to mention it’s generally cheaper.”

The owners of Travel Talkin’ each began touring the world in their early 20s, taking trips to Europe. After meeting and discovering their similar travel interests nearly 30 years ago, Grabinski and Smith continued visiting other places and created employment out of a job they truly love.

“When St. Cloud State University invited us (to talk about a particular country), we thought if they want us, there has to be others,” said Grabinski, 75. “It just took off. We have been presenting

to the city of St. Cloud for 14 years on the fourth Friday of every month.”

Grabinski, who also manages property in central Minnesota, and Smith, who majored in travel and tourism at SCSU, founded Travel Talkin’ in 2006. The pair presents their worldly excursions to arm-chair audiences at senior living communities – Ridgeview Place, Country Manor and Good Shepherd Community – as well as for area cities, schools and through television and radio spotlights. The two presented on the country of Peru Feb. 23 at the Whitney Senior Center, and most recently shared their journey in Tanzania March 23.

The duo’s banter entices their audiences and laughter Àlls the room when Smith tells a light joke. Their slideshow of some 200 photos is mixed with short videos, commentary and factual material that may include history, education, foods, customs and more in their hour-long presentation. Guests are engaged and allowed to ask questions during and after the dialogue.

“The students seem to really like it, and I’d like to think we can be an inÁuence for people to travel somewhere or to start traveling,” Smith said. “It doesn’t really matter if it’s international, just so you start traveling and experiencing that.

That in itself gives you motivation to travel other places.”

In February, Grabinski and Smith opened their session offering Peruvian Inca Kola, a

Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is hidden in the mountains of northwest Peru. The historical sight was one talked about in Travel Talkin’s February presentation.

soft drink, to their guests. They proceeded with information on the size and demographics of the country and talked about the native plants and animal, showing photos of pink dolphins, red-belly piranha, macaws and leaf-cutter ants — all which they saw on their tour. The pair discussed religion and education, and explained the signiÀcance of certain historical places, such as Machu Picchu, as well as lesser-known cultural landmarks, like shanty towns.

In each presentation, one message is the most important.

“We try to let people know, people are people,” Smith said.

“So often people think you are American, Korean, Japanese.

Guess what, that’s true, but we are all people. We all do the same things. We all get up and shower, take care of ourselves. Most

everyone has coffee or tea in the morning and read the papers.”

Grabinski agreed.

“Once you are there, you love these people,” he said. “They all want the same things as us. They just go about it differently.”

In the case of Peru, where Grabinski and Smith had visited in December, that message came across as locals prepared to celebrate Christmas. The two pointed out that much like in Minnesota, people had decorated with Nativity scenes. But instead of a donkey and cow in the mangers, there were animals such as llamas, alpacas and goats.

Grabinski and Smith usually travel with tour groups and generally try to pick new destinations whenever possible.

A strong start to education Early childhood programming needs addressed in referendum

BY ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: This is the Àrst in a series of articles regarding the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District building referendum, which will be put to ballot May 8.

SAUK RAPIDS — Education and learning is an important part of a child’s development, particularly at a young age.

This is the belief of the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District. Staff and administration are working hard to implement programming to support the earliest of learners.

“Our early childhood program has very high standards, and we are a nationally recognized program,” said Megan Rogholt, early childhood program director for the district. “We feel we have a strong success rate and that we are helping our kids prepare for kindergarten socially, emotionally and academically. We hear all the time from the kindergarten teachers in the district that they can tell which students have been through our program.”

While the early childhood program is successful, it also has rising needs.

“Space, safety and security are all huge concerns,” Rogholt said.

“We are overcrowded to the point where we can’t offer some of the things that our families need, like

wrap-around care for before and after class. Security is also a concern and right now we buzz people into the building, but they have to walk past every classroom before they reach the ofÀce and we aren’t OK with that.”

Rogholt’s concerns have been addressed in the referendum the district is seeking voter approval of on May 8. The early childhood funding is $8,917,300 of a $93.2 million building bond. If it passes, the early childhood program would gain four additional preschool classrooms, adult restroom facilities, a care space to be used during class transitions and a multiple-use space at Hillside, as well as one additional classroom and remodeled space at Rice Elementary.

“Space is a huge need right

now,” Rogholt said. “We constantly have waiting lists during registration.

This year, we have 79 resident students on the waiting list and we already have 31 on that list for next year. Our goal with this additional funding would be to provide space to accommodate everyone and eliminate those waiting lists. We have the tools and staff to offer exceptional programming, but we just don’t have the space we need.”

According to Rogholt, the Sauk Rapids-Rice District currently serves 240 preschoolers, ages 3-5, across 11 classes in addition to Early Childhood Family Education classes. Minnesota state statute directs all public school districts to accept students on a Àrst come, Àrst serve basis regardless of openenrollment.

Business subsidy policy passes

Rogholt said the district plans to open registration to current families ahead of regular registration this upcoming year and that the program communicates registration dates to families through the district newsletter.

Allison Ward, a parent of an early childhood student, credits the program for the success of her children.

“My daughter is in the program now and it’s been great for her,” Ward said. “It’s a great opportunity for her to learn independently and it’s great for her development.

Knowing what the program has done for my daughter, the improvements they are asking for are deÀnitely needed. Space needs to increase

Referendum page 3

The Rice City Council passed a business subsidy policy for their revolving loan fund following months of consultation March 19. The council has failed the motion at an earlier March meeting due to uncertainty. The council was looking for clarity and professional guidance.

Benton Economic Partnership executive director John Uphoff was in attendance to offer his advice.

“Both model policies contain all of the obligatory language that you need based on Minnesota Statute governing the business subsidy policy,” Uphoff said.

“The signiÀcant difference is that one of them … lays out product review evaluation procedure.”

Uphoff recommended the council choose the model without the additional language because he thought the third-party loan underwriters would want to consult with the city to create loan procedures together.

“You ultimately will end up with a document that spells out the project review and evaluation procedure, but I don’t think it’s necessary to have it within the business subsidy policy,” Uphoff said. “… You can always adopt that language into an amended business subsidy policy down the road. That’s not hard to do. So, I recommend the same one as your attorney.”

After passing the document, the council approved Central Minnesota Development Company as the third-party underwriter for the policy. This will allow businesses to apply for the city’s revolving loan fund without disclosing private Ànancial documents to the public because of the Government Data Practices Act. It will also eliminate any conÁict of interest between business owners and council relationships.

In other council news: - Accepted the 2017 audit presentation given by Jon Archer, of Schlenner, Wenner and Company. The city of Rice received an unmodiÀed, clean opinion with no concerns regarding the audit or management team.

Both the revenues and expenditures were higher for 2017 than expected due to an increase in building permits and therefore building inspector fees. The police department expenditures also exceeded budgeted amounts because of the purchase of a new squad vehicle.

Archer had minimal concerns with the audit. He said in accordance with city policy, he would like to see the city set aside a minimum fund balance of at least 50 percent of the next year’s budgeted expenditures.

The city’s balance has grown 31 percent in the last three years but has yet to hit that mark. Still, Archer was pleased with the trend increase.

Crying over spilled milk

Good intentions go up in smoke

Karsten Braaten, Rice Unfortunately, but commendably, Little Rock Lake residents learned from the lake-produced stench that permeated Oak Hill Golf Course and beyond 2007. The lake residents started a successful lake cleanup.

Now their acceptance of the drawdown will further their efforts to clean their lake, it may also have beneÀts for us river residents.

Not far from Little Rock in 1998 a spark from cardboard disposal started a Àre at the Pirates Cove.

The three responding Àre departments arrived too late to save the Cove.

My Watab home, close to the Cove, is also next to less than well-kept seldom-inspected rental property that changes renters more than annually; some have used the garage as a business. One even regularly used acetylene torches. The garage is almost as big as the house.

Over the years, the property’s owner and renters have sent Àreworks into the trees separating our properties.

Once, the Àre department responded to a residentstarted debris Àre that burned for at least 15 minutes before ÀreÀghters arrived. The ÀreÀghters watched it burn out for another 30 minutes, the occupants regularly have unattended bonÀres.

My 6 by 100-foot Àreproof fence will not protect my home from any such mishap that may occur from such poorly-controlled actions.

The elected three Watab supervisors appointed a committee last year to study the need for a Àre substation.

The committee recommended pursuing a Àre substation. After researching a cost analysis which found a Àre station affordable, the supervisors chose to ask at the annual meeting for a township-wide vote on a type of Àre station.

An ad hoc group, acting against legal opinion, chose to act against the Watab supervisors’ decision and, thus, at the annual meeting 70 of the 3,222 Watab residents voted down any action on a Àre station. They did so while disregarding Robert’s Rules and demeaning Watab supervisors.

Some referred to the meeting as a mob rule, others used vigilante committee.

I hope my home does not become the stench that shows the need for a shorter Àre response time gained by a Àre station in Watab Township.

I did not even mention the wood home on the other side of the Àre trap.

Referendum creates opportunity Tracey Fiereck, parent and community member Opportunity: a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something.

My oldest daughter spoke at Stars of the Storm. As part of the Lead Learners middle school program, she had the opportunity to travel and spend time at Jamf and Apple Store in the Twin Cities. The group was able to learn from software developers and trouble shoot at the businesses. That opportunity was afforded to them through generous donations made to the Sauk RapidsRice Education Foundation. This was one of the most memorable events of her time at SRRMS, second only to Deep Portage.

My youngest daughter is a Àfth-grader at Pleasantview Elementary. The staff at Pleasantview continues to provide opportunities to all students even though they are working in subpar conditions, temporary portable classrooms as a prime example. She receives instruction from a gifted instructor, is able to speak some Chinese, has an iPad to support learning, has free breakfast every morning and gets a bus ride to school.

Many of the opportunities mentioned above would not exist without our generous community and district staff and if we had not received the 48 million dollars open enrollment has brought into the district in the last 15 years. I understand this is a hot button for some. Let us put this in perspective. During the 2016-17 school year, 560 resident students enrolled elsewhere which means 560 of the 1,031 open-enrolled students were Àlling empty seats and bringing funding to our district.

This leaves 471 additional kids in all buildings. If you owned a restaurant, had staff working and seats open, would it make good business sense to turn customers away because they do not live in your town?

We have an opportunity May 8.

We have the opportunity to expand early childhood learning space and eliminate waiting lists; to ensure our buildings are secure, and replace the outdated and unsafe Pleasantview Elementary.

We have the opportunity to ensure our athletes have conditions comparable to many of our neighboring districts in which all family members, especially the elderly and disabled will be able to attend and cheer.

And we have the opportunity to ensure our community will continue to thrive and grow with the construction of a new elementary.

So, I ask you this. Do you want to create opportunities or hinder them? I know which side I will be on. I am voting yes May 8.

BENTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 6, 2018 The Benton County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on March 6, 2018 in the Benton County Board Room in Foley, MN with Commissioners Warren Peschl, Jim McMahon, Jake Bauerly, Spencer Buerkle and Ed Popp present. Call to order by Chair Popp was at 9:00 AM followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Áag.

Peschl/Bauerly unanimous to approve the amended agenda (add items: 1) consider overtime payment for County Assessor Staff Appraiser; 2) discuss right-of-way remnant in East St. Cloud; and 3) resolution supporting Benton County 4-H and its continued ownership/control over buildings on the Benton County Fairgrounds).

No one was present to speak under Open Forum.

Buerkle/McMahon unanimous to approve the Consent Agenda: 1) approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of February 20, 2018 as written; 2) approve 2018 Solid Waste Haulers License Round III as presented, and authorize the Chair to sign; and 3) approve Application for Exempt Permit for St. Elizabeth Church to conduct bingo, rafÁe and pull-tabs on June 24, 2018.

Monty Headley, County Administrator, stated his recommendation to appoint Stephen C. Behrenbrinker as Interim County Assessor, along with approval of a professional services agreement; the agreement stipulates an hourly rate of $50, with hours worked to be determined by the Assessor’s OfÀce and County Administrator. Stephen Behrenbrinker was present to address his work history and credentials as they apply to this position, stating his availability on a short-term, part-time basis. Buerkle/Bauerly unanimous to appoint Stephen C. Behrenbrinker as Interim County Assessor, and approve a professional services agreement with Behrenbrinker for County Assessor services at a rate of $50 per hour, and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement.

Administrator Headley informed the Board that Tim Jacobs, County Assessor Staff Appraiser, has assumed day-to-day supervisory responsibilities of the Land Services Department. Referencing the appointment of an Interim Assessor, Headley clariÀed that the Interim Assessor will focus on mandatory assessor responsibilities and work as needed, but will have no role in department supervision. Headley noted that Jacobs has agreed to fulÀll that daily role until a new Land Services Director is hired; he requests the opportunity to be paid time and half cash for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week (this would be in lieu of a higher base hourly rate for all hours worked). Peschl/McMahon unanimous to authorize overtime payment to Tim Jacobs, Staff Appraiser, at time and half cash for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week. Headley noted that the recruitment for a permanent Assessor will occur once the Human Resources Director position has been Àlled.

Chris Byrd, County Engineer, explained that CSAH 29 from CSAH 33 (Benton Drive) to just west of TH 15 is proposed to be reconstructed in 2018; to complete the necessary construction, additional right-of-way is needed. Byrd noted that Benton County Road Right of Way Plat No. 12 clearly depicts and describes the limits of permanent right-of-way and parcel boundaries within the project limits; Board approval is needed to complete the right-of-way acquisitions. McMahon/Peschl unanimous to approve Benton County Road Right of Way Plat No. 12 (CSAH 29 in Sartell) and authorize the Chair to sign the completed plat.

Byrd explained that, in 2018, MnDOT had an open solicitation for project ideas that could beneÀt from the legislatively funded Corridors of Commerce program; this solicitation was open to the public and the project idea of a highway 10 interchange or bypass in Royalton was submitted. Byrd noted that MnDOT has developed scoring criteria that includes points for “community consensus”; if the project receives a resolution of support from all cities and counties that the proposed project touches (by April 16, 2018), the project would receive 45 points toward the total score of 100. He pointed out that there is very little information on what the highway 10 interchange/bypass project would look like—no preliminary engineering or feasibility study; the Mayor of Royalton is of the same opinion as the County Engineer that it is difÀcult to adopt a resolution supporting this project at this time when so little information is available about potential impacts to local businesses and residents. McMahon inquired of wording the resolution “…so vague…that the basic concept of it

is sound…” Popp inquired if the Morrison County Board is “on board” with a resolution of support. Bauerly commented “…it’s economic development…it’s trafÀc Áow…” Board consensus that Byrd prepare a resolution of general support for the project idea, but not project speciÀcs. Byrd will also contact Morrison County for their input.

Byrd reported that, as directed by the Board, the Public Works department hired Braun Intertec to do some additional testing of the bridge deck wearing surface to determine the potential for concrete deterioration. He stated that Braun took six concrete cores, at two different depths, from the deck and performed an acid soluble chloride in concrete test; the results of the test report a percentage of pounds of chloride per cubic yard of concrete.

Byrd explained that MnDOT bridge preservation guidance states that a bridge should be programmed for overlay replacement before the concrete at the level of the top rebar reaches half of the corrosion threshold of 0.0175%; one core met that criterion. He pointed out that many factors could affect the timing in which the other cores meet that criterion. Popp suggested that, perhaps, the county could monitor the wearing surface through occasional testing every few years. Bauerly commented “…there is no data to support redoing the bridge deck at this time…this might last another 10 or 20 years yet…” There was consensus of the Board not to move forward with replacement of the bridge deck wearing surface at this time, but to “keep it on the radar”.

Byrd stated that it recently came to his attention that there is a parcel of land for which Benton County holds the title to; this small parcel, about 1/10 of an acre in size, is the remnant of rightof-way that MnDOT purchased as part of the TH 23 expansion in east St. Cloud in the early 1990’s; MnDOT purchased fee title of the parcel and then executed a quit claim deed to Benton County.

Byrd explained that there is an individual interested in this parcel for access from the south; since Benton County owns fee title, a resolution to vacate would need to be adopted, public notice given, and then the land would be auctioned off with a minimum bid set (there is no guarantee that the interested party would be the successful bidder). He stated that a simpler alternative would be to allow for an access easement to be given to an adjacent landowner; the County would have some control over the use of the easement. McMahon asked if there would be a beneÀt to attaching the access easement to the parcel prior to an auction sale.

Following brief discussion, there was Board consensus to allow for an access easement to be given to an adjacent landowner.

The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:42 AM to conduct a Human Services Board meeting.

The Regular County Board meeting was reconvened at 10:05 AM. John Uphoff, Executive Director of the Benton Economic Partnership, appeared before the Board to discuss the possible designation of certain areas of Benton County as federal “opportunity zones”; this program is part of the new federal tax law.

He explained that this program seeks to “unlock” $2.3 trillion in unrealized capital gains; opportunity zones provide large tax incentives for people and companies with big unredeemed investment capital gains to cash them in and invest the proceeds in businesses or workforce housing in designated low-income census tracts. Uphoff provided an overview of the three asset classes whereby these opportunity funds may be deployed—purchase of property, purchase of stock in companies in an opportunity zone, or using cash to buy into a partnership in an opportunity zone. He explained that the State has already designated 500+ eligible census tracts as opportunity zones (over 20% poverty in that census tract or over 60% individuals below the median income); three of those qualiÀed tracts are in Benton County (two of the three are from the 250 “most distressed” tracts). Uphoff described the three eligible census tract areas; he also described an adjacent census tract that covers the Verso paper mill site. He noted that he will be submitting these four census tracts to the Governor, who has until March 21st to nominate census tracts for opportunity zone designation to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Uphoff pointed out that Benton County’s submittals all meet the focus point of opportunities for investment in terms of affordable housing, commercial and industrial. He added that he will be meeting with staff from Stearns and Sherburne Counties to discuss whether or not there would be a beneÀt to submit all proposals collaboratively. Uphoff added that once the census tracts get designated, the U.S. Department of Treasury will seek input

Ordinance change allows flexibility

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

FOLEY — The Benton County Board of Commissioners approved changes to the planning commission and board of adjustment make-up March 20. The changes made were due to the increased difÀculty in Ànding members of each county district to serve.

The planning commission is made up of eight total members — one appointed county commissioner and seven other individuals, one member from districts 5, 4 and 3; and two members each from districts 2 and 1. All members are appointed by the full board. With the approval of the ordinance, if there is not a resident of a commissioner district willing to serve on the planning commission, then a resident of Benton County who does not live in the commissioner district may be appointed to serve on the planning commission.

There are currently no open seats on the commission.

The board of adjustment consists of Àve members from each county district, unless one cannot be found – similarly to the planning commission.

Currently, this board has open seats.

“I’m really glad we could move forward with this, maybe we can start Àlling them,” said Jim McMahon, commissioner of District 3. “I know I have a hard time Àlling my seat out of my district so I appreciate it.”

No communication was received by the public or townships regarding this matter.

In other board news: - Tabled a solar subscriber agreement with NRG Energy Inc. pending further communication regarding the contract. Assistant county attorney Michelle Meyer recommended the board seek clariÀcation regarding what the liabilities the county will be responsible for should the solar Àeld not be constructed and operable within two years,

and also regarding when the termination fee would apply.

The solar agreement estimates a savings of $984,000 over the 25-year agreement. The county hopes to be a subscriber to two different sites in Stearns and Sherburne counties. There is no availability left to subscribe to a NRG Àeld in Benton County.

- Approved a texting agreement with Reliance Systems Inc. for a Àve-year term.

Reliance provides telephone services to the jail and will be expanding that to text messaging. Reliance will provide devices for inmates to send messages to individuals on a per message fee basis. The county will receive 35 percent of fees generated. The texts are subject to review just as any other type of communication between civilians and inmates, and law enforcement holds the authority to block numbers as necessary.

- Approved a resolution stating there is no need for an environmental impact statement for the expansion of the Anderson-Helmin gravel pit based on the environmental assessment worksheet. A public hearing will take place when the property owners apply to amend the interim use permit.

- Awarded the bid for the County Road 29 and 33 projects to C&L Excavating Inc., of St. Joseph, in the amount of $5,949,283.38.

The bid was 11.49 percent under the county’s engineering estimate.

- Approved drafting a contract with Hoisington Koegler Group Inc., of St. Paul, for the update of the county’s comprehensive plan and development code.

- Approved a housing support care agreement with Catalina Care. Cataline Care has purchased Brotts Board and Lodge in Sauk Rapids and Waite Park.

Commissioner Allen ‘Jake’ Bauerly was absent from this meeting.

from the communities on how to set up the rules governing any investments.

Administrator Headley explained that, about a month ago, Chisago County inquired if there were other counties interested in joining them in a consolidated appointments bill to either appoint Auditor-Treasurers or Recorders; at that time, the Benton County Board had stated their interest. Headley stated that, subsequently, Chicago County indicated that it didn’t appear they would have success bringing forward a consolidated bill initially for various reasons; they suggested that if Benton County desired to pursue appointment of the auditor-treasurer during this legislative session, we should pursue our own bill (could eventually be consolidated into one omnibus bill). Headley referenced past consensus of the Board that Benton County would not move forward with appointment of an Auditor-Treasurer this year; this would not occur before the end of the four-year term of the next Auditor-Treasurer. Buerkle commented “…the chances of that bill getting anywhere this year are next to nothing from what I understand…” McMahon inquired if it was too late to put a referendum before the voters for this election period; he would like to explore this option further. Headley explained that the process would include the formation of a Governmental Study Commission who would make a recommendation to the County Board; the Board could then refer this issue to the voters. Bauerly commented “…I think it would be a little awkward to put that on the ballot the same year someone is actually running for the seat…maybe do it two years later…the chances of getting a hearing this year are slim to none…” Buerkle stated “…I think we have to commit at some time in the future…the issue is not going away…” There was Board consensus to “let this issue ride” at this point and further discuss in the future.

Headley explained that the 4-H Leaders Council is in discussions with the Fair Board about the Fair Board possibly acquiring the 4-H buildings on the fairgrounds; if they do sell the buildings to the Fair Board, they do not desire to pay a lease cost to the Fair Board to continue using the buildings for 4-H activities during the fair—if they retain ownership of the buildings, they do not want to pay a grounds lease to continue to have access to those buildings. Headley referenced the proposed resolution, which notes that the Benton County 4-H program has limited resources and should not be assessed substantial new costs; further, that Benton County has been a “longstanding supporter” of Benton County 4-H, funding a full-time 4-H Coordinator, and providing ofÀce space, meeting rooms, supplies and administrative support to 4-H. Popp commented “…you can see it coming…the Agricultural Society is going to own the buildings…if they are not Àscally able come county fair time, they may say one year that they are going to need $3,500 for the 4-Hers to participate…for the insurance and building use…and that may escalate …I have a problem how they are going to be Àscally responsible…this has been an arrangement for as long as the fair has been there… that they’ve never charged…they seem to be going a little different route…I want to see them negotiate a long-term lease before they turn those buildings over…” Popp stated his support for the proposed resolution. Peschl/McMahon unanimous to adopt Resolution 2018-#9, a Resolution Supporting the Benton County 4-H Program and its Continued Access to Facilities on the Benton County Fairgrounds, and authorize the Chair to sign.

Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county.

Under Commissioner Concerns, Bauerly commented “…last year was a wet year…Benton County’s corn yield is going to be 150 bushels or below…wherever there was drain tile, it was 200+ bushels…if drain tile gets eliminated as a tool, it’s going to be a major demise of our agricultural tax base in Benton County…there’s a lot of misinformation out there…” Popp commented “…a person was killed out here on Highway 23 again…we need to start working with Mille Lacs County and cooperatively push for a four-lane…at least to Milaca…”

No Committees of the Whole were set at this time.

McMahon/Buerkle unanimous to adjourn at 10:53 AM. Edward D. Popp, Chair Benton County Board of Commissioners ATTEST: Montgomery Headley Benton County Administrator R-12-1B
