SAUK RAPIDS — Nine years. Nearly 1,400 calls for help responded to.

A family legacy of service to the Sauk Rapids Fire Department since the 1960s including a grandfather, father, uncle and son. F o r Matt Heinen, becoming a volunteer re ghter was not a matter of if, but when.

“Being on the re department has always interested me,” said Heinen, who began his service to the Sauk Rapids Fire Department in 2008. “I’ve been around it my whole life. I love doing it.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a false alarm or anything. It still gets your heart going every time the pager goes off.”

But Heinen’s pager has been silent for nearly half a

year. His service on the re department has abruptly come to an end with action from the Sauk Rapids City Council during its April 9 meeting.

His career on the department all undone because of three minutes.

A move that started it all “Back in SeptemberOctober of last year we (my wife and I) decided we wanted to downsize our home,” Heinen said.

“We had a ve-bedroom, four-level house and our two oldest sons had moved out.”

Looking for a smaller space to call home, the Heinens wanted to remain within the Sauk Rapids area and began their search for a house. Heinen said one of the early tenants the couple used to help narrow the search was to look for a home within the veminute response radius of the Sauk Rapids Fire Department.

SAUK RAPIDS – Ashley Gonzalez is an avid tap dancer.

Performing at the 2017 presidential inauguration and receiving bronze medals for competitions in Seoul, South Korea and Offenburg, Germany, the Sauk Rapids dancer has learned from coaches she considers to be the best in the business.

“I have really enjoyed learning from them,” said Gonzalez, 18. “I’ve been a dancer since age 2, and my passion is really in tap dancing.”

Gonzalez is so passionate about tap that she wants to pass her love of it onto others. She is doing just that by

hosting tap-intensive master classes June 3.

The event will take place from 1-7 p.m. at Regency Plaza, 912 W. St. Germain Street, St. Cloud. Classes are of three different levels – beginner, intermediate and advanced.

Throughout Gonzalez’s career as a tap dancer, she has learned from many of the top instructors and dancers in the industry, some of who will contribute to the upcoming class.

“The tap community is like family,” Gonzalez said. “You tell someone you tap and instantly there’s this unexplainable bond. Most of the people teaching the classes are my

Further investigation into this boat led to the discovery that it had been stolen from a business in Elk River sometime between the afternoon May 17 and the morning of May 18.

Investigators learned that at the time of the theft, the boat was equipped with a 250 hp outboard motor.

radius.

However, Heinen said he decided to try and apply for a variance to be able to continue to serve on the department.

Things did not go as smoothly as Heinen hoped.

Heinen said before he had the opportunity to approach his superiors on the department, he was called into a meeting with other senior re department members including Sauk Rapids Fire Chief Jason Fleming.

“The conversation didn’t go too well,” Heinen said.

“I guess at that point I had brought up the fact that other guys were able to do it, and I think I was told that there was a different administration that allowed it to happen.

I guess that was part of my argument. I don’t disagree that the governing body can make different decisions, but you can’t take the rules that are written and apply them to one person and have a different person read that rule and apply it differently to someone else.”

The Sauk Rapids

city council’s re department committee: Ellen Thronson and Nick Sauer.

But that work took a dramatic turn when Heinen received a letter in the mail on Feb. 20 terminating his status with the Sauk Rapids Fire Department.

Sent by Olson with a carbon copy submitted to Fleming and council members Thronson and Sauer, the letter stated that after consultation with the re department leadership and the city council’s re department committee both the leave of absence and the change in the response radius were denied.

“Traditionally, re ghters have opted to provide a letter of resignation when they move or otherwise become ineligible to serve,” the letter states. “If you choose not to, please understand that the termination of your status as a Sauk Rapids re ghter will be placed on the city council’s consent agenda …”

It was an unexpected blow.

“The wife called me right away,” Heinen said.

“The only thing I want is to be back on the department. I like helping people. I love doing it. Even when my son’s pager goes off and he has to go to a call, it bothers me a lot. I enjoyed (the job) enough that it’s worth the fight.”

- Matt Heinen “She saw the letter, opened it and read it.”

Heinen said he immediately emailed council member Sauer and got in contact with both Fleming and Olson stating that he was moving back into town to live with his mother – who lived within two minutes of the re station – in the hopes of maintaining his position on the department.

But it was not that simple.

During this process, Heinen said he had met with Olson and spoke with Fleming about a potential time-frame to come back to the department. However, Heinen said, he was told that by effectively moving out of his home he had given up his position on the department.

Heinen felt his move to his mother’s house opened up the door to further discussion and possible reinstatement.

But that was a decision –

Herald made an attempt to reach out to Fleming for a response about this and other conversations. He did not respond.

Heinen said he walked out of the meeting and that was the end of it.

Or at least he thought.

A ght to stay on the department Heinen and his wife moved into their new home in December. During that month he said he responded to about four calls from his new residence.

Right after the rst of the year Heinen said he met again with Fleming to discuss his situation. Heinen said it was around that time-frame when he said Fleming and others had suggested to him to take a leave of absence from the department until an agreement could be made. “... It was kind of the understanding that if it did fall through, we would potentially look at moving back into town,” Heinen said.

“But we didn’t know exactly what we wanted to do. And that was kind of the purpose for taking a leave of absence, to gure things out.”

Heinen said he was told all he needed was to submit an email requesting his leave of absence. After doing so, Heinen said he was under the assumption that his leave was granted.

In the meantime, Heinen had begun researching response times for neighboring volunteer re departments. It was his hope that he could ask the Sauk Rapids Fire Department and the city council to amend the existing ve-minute radius.

Heinen said he had reached out to the two council members who made up the

Heinen said he was told – that had to be made by Fleming.

It was around early March that Heinen decided to nd a more permanent solution to his living situation – nding an apartment within the response radius.

“It was end of March when I found a place in Sartell within the ve-minute response radius,” Heinen said. “I still hadn’t heard what the outcome was from Jason (on my status).”

Within 45 minutes of signing the lease to his new place Heinen found out his answer. He was not being reinstated. In order to serve on the department, even with a new place within the response radius, he would have to go through the application process once more.

After getting out of the lease – losing his $400 damage deposit in the process – Heinen retained an attorney to potentially ght the city on this issue in court.

A desire to come back “My argument is if they are saying that I quit as a re ghter when I moved, why was any of this stuff (over the last few months) entertained?” Heinen said.

“Why did they have the meetings? If that was the end of it, why didn’t it end there?”

Heinen said – among other examples – that given the fact he had responded to four calls from his new home back in December with seemingly no issue he feels the re department and city council should allow him to resume his position.

Currently, Heinen is living with his family at the new home in the Lake Andrew development.

“After all of this and the whole apartment thing falling through I said I’m not going to spend any more time (looking for a place to live) when I can spend time with my family,” he said.

But he is determined to ght – both for his position on the department and what he believes would be fair administration of the city’s response radius policies across the board.

“Even my attorney asked, ‘What do you want?’”

Heinen said. “He was thinking (I wanted) money or some sort of compensation.

The only thing I want is to be back on the department. I like helping people. I love doing it. Even when my son’s pager goes off and he has to go to a call, it bothers me a lot. I enjoyed (the job) enough that it’s worth the ght.”

is de ned as the area within an established time frame of the re station that members of the re department must live in order to reasonably respond to an emergency call.

The city of Sauk Rapids has a ve-minute response time requirement, which was increased from its previous requirement of three minutes in 2008.

“There is logic behind the response requirement,” said Ross Olson, Sauk Rapids City Administrator. “We work with our engineering staff to fully look at our community and its traf c patterns. We do a scienti c analysis to the determine an appropriate radius. It really has nothing to do with the municipal boundaries. It has everything to do with providing service to those in need.”

Unable to nd a home that t their need, Heinen said he looked at exploring homes outside of the radius.

“We wanted to stay in Sauk Rapids though based on the school district,” Heinen said. “With the talk of closed enrollment possibly being an issue (for our kids still in school) we wanted to stay within the district.”

After looking at several homes in the area, and even considering building one, the Heinens found the home they were looking for in Watab Township’s Lake Andrew development.

The home, within the Sauk Rapids zip code, was perfect for the couple and their family. The only downside was the location – eight minutes from the re station, three minutes outside of the response radius.

According to Heinen, accommodations had been made in the past for re ghters who had moved outside of the pre-established response radius.

Olson said those accommodations were on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the existing city policy. He did not provide comment speci cally on Heinen.

Section 38.14 of the City of Sauk Rapids Fire Department Forms states: “Any member of the Sauk Rapids Fire Department, who shall have a change in employment or residence, shall notify the Fire Chief. The Executive Committee will review the new employment or residence to evaluate the impact on the member’s response time. In the event the Executive Committee nds that the member is no longer able to respond to emergency calls in a timely manner, such delay prevents the member from performing the duties of the position, the Department would be better served by having the duties performed by a new hiree, and there is such a new hiree eligible to be hired, the member may be recommended to the Council to consider discharging the member or other appropriate action.”

Olson did not state how many – or if any – current re ghters had received a variance to the response

OPINION

Letters to the Editor

Cost of not caring: stigma set in stone Mark Jacobson, certi ed peer support specialist, Winona The failure to provide treatment and supportive community services to people with mental illness has overburdened emergency rooms, crowded state and local jails and left untreated patients to fend for themselves on city streets.

The United States routinely fails to provide the most basic services for people with mental illness – something the country would never tolerate for patients with cancer or other physical disorders.

Mental health is a separate but equal system. We have a wasteland of people who have died and been disabled because of inadequate care.

Although most people with mental illness are not violent, the United State’s dysfunctional, long-neglected mental health system is under a microscope because of mass shootings in which perpetrators had serious psychiatric problems.

Stigma forces many to live in shame rather than seek support, even as their lives unravel. Yet, patients who want help often cannot nd it. Stigma shaped the crafting of the Medicaid law more than 50 years ago. People were operating under the belief that mental health was a black hole for money.

By denying hospital care to mentally ill, congress set two standards for health, effectively telling the country that mentally ill are less deserving of a decent life than others. By forcing the mentally ill to live with sickness, confusion and disability, federal law reinforces the assumption that mentally ill are incapable of leading functioning, safe and successful lives.

The federal government has set barriers to getting care, and it is wrong. There is no other area of medicine where the government is the source of the stigma.

If one were to have diabetes, cancer or cardiovascular disease, there is no stigma to that. But if our brain does not work, why are people supposed to be ashamed of that? It is just another organ. People will readily admit to taking medication for high blood pressure, but if someone is taking medication for some kind of mental problem, they are supposed to hide that.

The time has come to put an end to this stigma. People dealing with mental health issues need to be treated with respect and dignity. I am unaware of a single person who has freely chosen to live with mental illness. Give people with mental illness a reason to hope. If there is no hope, then America and society has failed to live up to the standards our forefathers once envisioned.

Congratulations class of 2018

The most celebrated event of the school year will be happening next week. Graduation for the Sauk Rapids-Rice Class of 2018 will take place May 29 at Halenbeck Hall on the campus of St. Cloud State University.

The ceremony will start at 7:30 p.m. with the processional being played by the SRR High School Concert Band under the direction of Scott Campbell, conductor.

Co-Principal Karl Nohner will certify the graduates and present the class to the board of education. Members of the board of education will be present to award diplomas.

The class has selected the motto, “Wherever we go, whatever we do, never stop changing the culture for the better.” This motto truly re ects the attitude and determination of the class of 2018, and this class has modeled the theme of “Change the Culture” all year long. Their positive energy was re ected in every aspect of their successes and achievements in academics, arts and activities. The class colors selected were purple – symbolizing ambition, extravagance and creativity – and gold – representing achievement and wisdom. Also selected by the class was the yellow rose.

Our thanks go out to the entire district staff, prekindergarten through 12th grade, for playing a critical role in the development of these ne young graduates. The SRR School District, parents and the entire community have played a signi cant role in supporting our students. Each graduating class and each of these students represents the most valuable resource our community has to offer: the resource of unlimited human potential.

I would like to wish the class of 2018 my very best as they continue to develop their potential, maximize their opportunities and become stellar contributors to the wellbeing of our state and nation.

Congratulations to the class of 2018.

Harvey appointed as county assessor Will also serve as land services director

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

FOLEY — Benton County welcomed a new land services director and county assessor Monday. The commissioners appointed Michael Harvey to the position at the May 14 meeting.

Harvey replaces the late Brian Koester, who served Benton County for more than 20 years. Koester died unexpectedly in February at

the age of 54.

The land services selections committee – commissioners Spencer Buerkle and Jim McMahon, county administrator Monty Headley, Sherburne County Assistant Administrator Dan Weber and human relations director Johanna Mattson.

Originally from Two Harbors, Harvey has been a commercial appraiser with Dakota County for three years, and he previously worked for St. Louis County for nearly six years as a principle appraiser where he supervised local assessors. Harvey graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Superior with a bachelor’s degree in nance

and economics.

“Michael was very impressive in the interview, excellent references from the folks at Dakota County,” Headley said. “(Michael) is already a Senior Accredited Minnesota Assessor.”

All assessors in the state of Minnesota are appointed to the same term period, so Harvey’s term will be through Dec. 31, 2020. He is set to begin his employment with Benton County June 18.

In other board news: - Adopted a revised parks commission ordinance and bylaws. The changes include reducing the number of representatives to ve from nine, allowing members to be from various districts if a

certain district cannot nd a representative from its area and reducing the number of meetings to a minimum of twice per year. The commission has been dormant for about four years.

- Adopted a proclamation declaring the week of May 20-26 as Emergency Medical Services Week in Benton County.

- Approved using grant money to purchase a boat, motor and trailer for the Benton County Sheriff’s Of ce.

Benton County is receiving at $33,871 reimbursement from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources 2017 federal boating safety supplemental equipment grant, among other items.

Man arrested on multiple counts Ellering makes campaign FOLEY — Tyler Wiehoff, of Sauk Rapids, was arrested May 19 on outstanding warrants and being in possession of a stolen motor vehicle. Furthermore, at the Benton County Jail, a search by law enforcement of Wiehoff’s clothing revealed two Oxycodone pills that Wiehoff admitted to not having a prescription for. Wiehoff was booked on charges of driving after revocation, fth-degree controlled substance crime, giving a peace of cer a false name and possession of stolen property.

Wiehoff was taken into custody after being pulled over by a Benton County Sheriff’s Deputy in Minden Township for driving without functioning taillights around 12:15 a.m. Wiehoff initially gave of cers a false name, but after investigation deputies learned of his identity and of his four outstanding warrants and revoked drivers license.

As the of cers continued their investigation, it was noted that the ignition switch and steering column for the vehicle Wiehoff had been driving was damaged, allowing the vehicle to be started without a key. The investigating deputy was able to make contact with the registered owner of the vehicle and con rmed that the vehicle was stolen.

The Sauk Rapids Police Department assisted in the incident.

announcement

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — Sauk Rapids City Council member Jason Ellering is running for reelection.

Ellering was appointed to his seat in February 2017 following Kurt Hunstiger being elected mayor. Ellering is ful lling Hunstiger’s remaining term through December 2018.

After 15 months in the position, Ellering said he is ready to continue.

“I feel like I’m just getting started in this role,” said Ellering, who lives in Sauk Rapids with his wife Nicole and four children.

“It’s something I knew I would like and for the last year and a half I have learned a lot and done everything I could to be involved with a lot of the processes that happen at the city. … I feel like I’m just kind of getting my feet wet here, and I want to continue with the progress we’ve made in the last year and a half.”

Ellering led his candidacy this week. The ling period for two, fouryear term Sauk Rapids City Council seats is open until 5 p.m. June 5. Preliminary

Jason Ellering

elections will take place Aug. 14 before the general election in November.

“I love engaging with residents,” said Ellering, of what has kept him interested.

“It’s one of my favorite parts of the job. I spent a lot of time with the city administrator, public works director and community development director to get the history and background of why decisions were made, how they were made and whether or not things could have been done differently.”

Ellering, who serves on the public works, land use and development and recreation committees, as

well as regional planning and human rights boards, said infrastructure and development will be his top priorities if he continues to serve in of ce.

“Capital planning and budgeting for our city facilities and infrastructure is critical,” Ellering said.

“There is so much more below the city streets that no one ever sees. It all costs money. That will be my main focus – to keep up on the city infrastructure. But also, a close second would be economic development in our industrial parks and bringing in more commercial business to town and making our town more attractive to business.”

Ellering, who grew up in St. Cloud, is a project manager and sales representative at SCR [St. Cloud Refrigeration, Inc.], a Sauk Rapids Youth Hockey Association coach and involved in volunteering with his family at the Joy Christian Center in St. Cloud. He has a sales and management degree from Johnson & Wales University of Providence in Rhode Island.
