SAUK RAPIDS — Jenna Bukowski wears many hats.

She is involved in FFA, student council, Project 4 Teens, girls golf and Minnesota Honor Society at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School and also lls her time as a peer minister at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sauk Rapids.

Adding to her headwear, Bukowski was crowned Sauk Rapids Community Ambassador July 21. She serves her title alongside Anna Walz and Morgan Weinand.

“I am so happy they were crowned,” Bukowski said.

“It was like a dream come true for me to be crowned.

It’s something I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl. I couldn’t ask for better crown sisters.”

As an ambassador, Bukowski is expected to be a role model and leader in the community, something she is no stranger to.

“I love being a leader and as an ambassador, that’s exactly what I am,” Bukowski said. “There is some-

Ending Epilepsy Edelbrocks walk in memory of Marcaylin

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SARTELL — Two months after the death of their daughter to what medical examiners deemed a probable terminal seizure, Craig and Fawn Edelbrock are determined to keep Marcaylin’s memory alive.

With a team of more than 50 participants, the Edelbrocks and their daughter, Carys, will join others in the 2018 Rise Above Seizures Walk at the Lake George Municipal Complex Aug. 2 in St. Cloud. It is estimated 65 million people in the world have epilepsy; 470,000 of those are children in the United States. Four-year-old Marcaylin lost a 32-month battle with the neurological disease May 17.

Drawdown delayed Miscommunication thwarts cleanup of Little Rock Lake

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

RICE — The six-week drawdown to restore water quality in Little Rock Lake has been delayed. The announcement came Wednesday, only one week from Aug. 1 – the date the drawdown was slated to begin.

Extreme frustration were the words Eric Altena, Department of Natural Resources Area Fisheries Manager, used to describe his initial reaction. Altena was shocked when he heard the drawdown could not proceed as planned. He said partner-

Bukowski leads in more roles than ambassador. She is the president of the FFA chapter, a student council representative to the school board and the captain of the golf team.

“Student council is one of my favorite activities to be in,” Bukowski said. “I have been on student council for seven years. Not only am I a school board representative, but I was the Central Minnesota division treasurer last year, and this year, I’m the secretary.”

As part of the Central Minnesota division, Bukowski represents the region to the state board

Edelbrock from front “This wasn’t supposed to happen,” Fawn said.

“This happens to other families. This is something you read about. You see it on the news; you hear about it online. We had plans.”

The Edelbrocks journey with epilepsy began in 2015. When Carys, Marcaylin’s sister, was only making six sounds at the age of 2, the Edelbrocks were prompted to seek developmental evaluations.

As the family sought answers over the next two years, Marcaylin showed the same symptoms. The sisters were diagnosed with

of education.

“It’s a huge responsibility, a big undertaking, but it’s a lot of fun,” Bukowski said. “I really feel honored I can represent not only our school, but the Central Minnesota division as a whole.”

Bukowski is not afraid to step outside her comfort zone when advocating for the groups she represents.

“I welcome the challenge,” Bukowksi said.

“I would never grow as a person or as a leader if I didn’t have to face challenges. Putting myself out there as a leader and being myself is really what has helped me grow and helped me make the connections with people that I have.”

As a newly-crowned ambassador, Bukowski is excited to try new things.

“I think it is important to show younger kids they can do anything, but that they have to do it while being humble,” Bukowski said. “I hope to volunteer more throughout this year and

to show kids that service work is important.”

Bukowski is familiar with service work through the school organizations she is involved with. This past year, she served on planning committees through student council, most notably survivor week.

“It was fun to see that week happen and come together so nicely,” Bukowski said. “That was a huge win for both student council and the school. The best part is that we got to make one of our classmates’ dream come true, and he gets to take his trip to Greece.”

In FFA, Bukowski is part of the annual corn drive, where the FFA students visit businesses to ask for donations to give to Camp Courage.

Bukowski also reads stories to elementary school students in the district once a month.

Bukowski hopes her experience, in both volunteering and leadership, will show others in the community they can

Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that can affect physical and cognitive development, in October 2015. In December of the same year, after experiencing three seizures with unidenti ed causes, the Edelbrocks were informed Marcaylin – their little girl who was a smiley, social butter y – also had epilepsy.

“She had her rst seizure at 21 months,” Fawn said. “The rst time we lost our minds. We called 911, they came out and took her by ambulance.”

A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in a person’s brain. It affects how the person feels or acts.

Emergency room per-

sonnel gave the Edelbrocks the impression they were overacting about the seizure, informing the couple there was nothing staff could do, and that most parents keep their children home after they have nished seizing. The second episode they were told the same thing.

“Christmas day she had her third seizure,” Fawn said. “Apparently, we were wasting resources and calling 911 wasn’t what we needed to do. So, we waited for the convulsing and vomiting to stop and we took her in ourselves.”

The Edelbrocks were admitted to a room, where they and the staff noticed Marcaylin’s color was off.

Soon, eight people were working on Marcaylin. The 2-year-old was still seizing.

“A 45-minute seizure,” Craig said.

Marcaylin’s seizure had de-escalated from a grand mal, characterized by violent muscle contractions and loss of consciousness, to an absence seizure where children often have a lapse in alertness, staring into the distance.

Marcaylin left the hospital on medication, and her family left with emergency medication in hand.

As Marcaylin grew and developed, her epilepsy progressed – characterized by loss of consciousness and breath. The little girl who loved animals and playing dress up began preschool at Hillside School, experiencing a seizure at least every ve months.

The Edelbrocks lived their lives from appointment to appointment – undergoing ultrasounds, echocardio-

grams, therapies, frequent medication changes and more. In September 2017, their routine was interrupted.

“We had her a on a medication where we were noticing regression,” Fawn said. “She stopped counting. She wasn’t talking as much. She could write an ‘M’ and then she couldn’t.

She had been running and jumping, and then she started stumbling more.

At physical therapy she wouldn’t even try things she had mastered.”

Marcaylin’s body was no longer responding to medications.

“Every morning, like clockwork, and every night, like clockwork, she

took four medications,” Fawn said. “She was 55 pounds on four antiseizures meds and still seizing.

From Sept. 20 to May 17, she had 59 seizures.”

The evening before Marcaylin’s death, she was under the weather. With a clear runny nose and slight cough, she slept in her parents’ bed. The family woke up in the morning, but with the onset illness Fawn and Craig allowed Marcaylin to rest longer. The couple checked on Marcaylin every 3-5 minutes, making sure she was OK, but not placing a hand on her for fear they would wake her.

Eventually, Craig realized the worse had happened.

Marcaylin had gained her

wings after experiencing Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy .

“There was no sound, there was nothing,” Craig said.

His wife agreed.

“Our bedroom is at the back of that hallway; that is where she was sleeping in our bed,” said Fawn, who was next door in the bathroom. “There was no water running. There was no TV on. There was nothing because I needed to be able to hear her. She never made a sound.”

The Edelbrocks want others to know about the severity of seizures and SUDEP. “Doctors need to talk about SUDEP,” Craig said.

“As hard as it is, they need to tell their patients about SUDEP. It’s better to nd out beforehand and have it in your head than to not know it exists until it’s too late.”

They also want people to remember Marcaylin for her happy-go-lucky attitude.

“I want people to know she was here and she made an impact on everyone,” Fawn said. “And I want someone to stop this before another family has to go through this. She should be here. There is no reason for her to be gone. That we can’t gure out how to get a 55-pound kid to stop having seizures is unbelievable. This needs to stop.”

With the support of the community and those who advocate for a cure, the Edelbrocks have a new objective in life: To end epilepsy in honor of Marcaylin.

How does it feel Commissioner, Roy?

Jim Hovda, Rice Department of Corrections Commissioner Tom Roy needs to go. There is a list of issues that plague his administration. Let us start with the decision to parole the cold-blooded killer of Minneapolis Police Of cer Miller saying the low-life needs a second chance. Garbage.

Fast forward to the recent killing of the corrections of cer in Stillwater State Prison [Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater] when, in a choked voice, he told the incredible story of what happened and how sorry he was for the family of the slain corrections of cer. No tears for the Minneapolis of cer’s family. Just the touchy-feely, wanting to show forgiveness and to give this killer a second chance at life.

The issues that surround the killing of the Stillwater C.O. are incredible. How in heavens name could an inmate with his history of violence be placed in a workshop with weapons available to him? Then, inmates holding the door shut so help would not arrive. They should all be charged with accessory to murder. This is a DOC that is out of control. Thanks, Commissioner Roy. I found it interesting this low-life sued the DOC for failing to protect him from other inmates which resulted in the loss of sight in one eye. Yes, our good Minnesota taxpayers probably paid the bill. Now it is time for the family of the fallen C.O. to do the same, only a lot more dollars.

Celebrate World Breastfeeding Week the state.

More than 89 percent of Minnesota moms start breastfeeding, but by the time the baby is 6 months old that drops to 35 percent. Less than half of Minnesota infants are exclusively breastfed at 3 months of age. Challenges women face in meeting their breastfeeding goals include those they experience in health care settings, worksites and child care centers.

That is changing in Minnesota. Thanks to the efforts by leadership within many organizations, WIC and the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership, growing num-

bers of health care, child care, employers and health departments are working to address the barriers and make breastfeeding easier for new mothers. Benton County Public Health and SHIP programs support breastfeeding by partnering with local businesses, child care facilities and supporting the work of breastfeeding coalitions with the goal of creating more breastfeeding friendly policies and environments.

Benton County Public Health is celebrating Minnesota Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August and World Breastfeeding Week, Aug. 1-7.

This year’s theme focuses on “Breastfeeding: Foundation of Life.”

The week helps raise awareness of the importance of breastfeeding for both babies and mothers and calls attention to local efforts that support breastfeeding.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, breastfeeding is the standard for infant feeding. It provides essential nutrients and antibodies that boost an infant’s immune system, providing protection from childhood illnesses. Babies who are not breastfed are more likely to develop common childhood illnesses like ear infections and diarrhea as well as chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, asthma and childhood obesity.

Breastfeeding is important for mothers, too.

Women who breastfeed have a reduced risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and osteoporosis.

Increasing exclusive breastfeeding rates is one of the goals outlined in the Healthy Minnesota 2020 framework to improve health and reduce health disparities across

SALUTE TO AREA BUSINESSES Building Community Through The Ages

A pour with a purpose Sauk Rapids Liquor celebrates 80 years

BY NATASHA BARBER | STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — On the heels of the prohibition era, many cities in Minnesota found themselves involved in a conversation regarding the sale of alcohol within city limits. Municipal liquor stores and dispensaries offered an oasis for taxpayers – a place they could not only wet their whistle but one where their contributions were put to use.

“The reason for the liquor store is not only to control the sale of alcohol inside the city but also to bene t the city by taking the pro ts and giving them back,” said Tom Boulton, operations manager at Sauk Rapids Liquor. “The city can purchase items they might need instead of having to levy taxes. That is the general purpose of it.”

In Minnesota, 210 cities remain in the municipal beverage business. Some have shorter histories; others have stood the test of time in the face of ever-growing proximity and access to competition. Sauk Rapids Liquor celebrates its 80th year of business in 2018.

“There are some municipal liquor stores that have failed; there used to be more,” said Boulton of the milestone. “I think a lot of it is taking care of customers.

If you treat them well and give them a good experience they are going to come back.”

According to the late Edward Sowa, local historian, the Sauk Rapids townspeople voted in favor of exclusive municipal liquor sales Dec. 8, 1936. The hot topic

and mortar in the early 1990s.

Sauk Rapids Liquor, 312 N. Benton Drive, employs three full-time and seven part-time workers. The business’ vast selection of domestic and craft beer, wine, hard liquor and mixes cater to their clientele.

“If I took every single item that scans right now in the store, we have over 51,000,” Boulton said.

But the municipal not only quenches its customers thirst. With the support of its patrons, the store transfers an average of $100,000 revenue annually to the city’s re equipment and capital equipment funds. The money is used to supplement purchases of re, police and public works vehicles and equipment. Without the extra revenue, taxpayers would foot the bill in a more traditional way.

“We want people to know there is a purpose for us and what we do,” Boulton said. “There is a purpose for what the money is spent on.”

To remain competitive and continue to increase pro ts for the city, Boulton and his crew do not shy from new ideas. They stay informed on market trends through vendors and participation in the Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association. They keep tabs on happenings in the legislature, advertise in multiple markets, follow up on customer comments and reinvent themselves when necessary.

“I’m pretty fortunate that I have Missy and Karl,” Boulton said. “They have been here for over 20 years, so they know the clientele really well. … We have a pretty good group of loyal customers. We try to make it a good, enjoyable shopping experience for them.”

With 80 years under its belt, sales and revenue continue to climb for Sauk Rapids Liquor. The store is projected to gross $3 million this year.

“We’ve been transferring out more PHOTO BY NATASHA BARBER and more revenue to the city’s equipment Sauk Rapids Liquor is located at 312 N. Benton Drive.

With 571 voters approving, the decision was made. The city council passed the ordinance two months later and the city of Sauk Rapids began its rst on-sale and off-sale transactions July 1, 1937.

Over its 80-year history, the liquor store has moved to various downtown locations. The original building stood at 19 N. Benton Drive, where a strip mall is located today. It featured a 32-foot birchwood bar where, as the only watering hole in town, it served on-sale liquor as well as sold items for private consumption. The store ceased on-sale transactions in May 1986 and leased off-sale space from the lounge in the interim before establishing today’s brick

Post No. 254 earns fourth-round win

BY ANNA SALDANA | STAFF WRITER

started its game with nine runs in the rst inning to claim the lead.

Posch hit a ball to second to bring Hemker in for the rst run. Trygve Hanson hit a line drive to center to bring his brother Bjorn home. Andvik followed a similar pattern, dropping the ball in center eld to bring Reid Lunser home. Pesta hit a base hit out to left eld to bring Posch home.

With the bases loaded, the Waite Park pitcher walked Hemker to bring Trygve Hanson across home plate. Bjorn Hanson followed with a line drive to right eld for a double and three RBIs as Andvik, Pesta and Hemker crossed home. Kade Patterson wrapped up the scoring for the inning, hitting to left eld and bringing Bjorn Hanson home.

Trygve Hanson was the big contributor to the nal two runs for SR, rst by hitting a ball over the fence in right eld for a solo home run in the second inning, then by hitting a grounder to bring Hemker home in the third.

Posch pitched the game in its entirety, earning ve strikeouts.

Post No. 254 has had a successful playoff run thus far. The team earned its rst win July 22 against Waite Park 11-0, followed with an 11-3 win over Foley July 23. The team then fell 6-0 to Sartell July 25. However, SR came back to defeat Waite Park a second time July 26 with a score of 7-2.

SR 7, Waite Park 2 SR was neck and neck with Waite Park. Both teams remained scoreless through the middle of the fourth inning. Brady Posch hit a home run to right eld, scoring both himself and Trygve Hanson to tie the score 2-2 going into the seventh.
