Appointee sought for Sauk Rapids council

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — The Sauk Rapids City Council is looking for a new member following the Nov. 6 election.

The council made the decision by consensus to appoint a member to replace Steve Heinen at the Nov. 13 meeting.

Heinen was elected to serve on the Benton County Board of Commissioners beginning Jan. 1, 2019. He will replace commissioner Jim McMahon who is retiring from his role.

The council will appoint a resident to serve the less than two years remaining of Heinen’s term after the New Year.

The city is seeking letters of interest from those wishing to be considered. Letters must be received at the Sauk Rapids Government Center by 4:30 p.m. Dec. 21. The council will review letters, interview selected candidates and choose an appointee from that pool.

Interviews will be open to the public.

All council members, with Heinen abstaining from the discussion, agreed with the process which was the same used to appoint council member Jason Ellering when Kurt Hunstiger took on the role of mayor in 2016.

Sauk Rapids makes three Motor Works opens third location in central Minnesota

BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — Driving along, you expect your vehicle to get you from point A to point B. Yet out of nowhere, your vehicle begins making a ticking sound and smoke billows from under the hood. You pull over. The cost and time of an auto repair looms in front of you.

Sauk Rapids is home to a new automotive repair business that can help with such events. Motor Works Auto Repair has opened at 2 Benton Drive South.

“We understand auto repair is usually stressful,” said Jason Kath, co-owner. “It is almost always inconvenient and an experience that causes worry. Our goal is to make it as friendly and accommodating as possible.”

Kath and Adam Preusser co-own Motor Works Auto Repair. The newly-renovated building in Sauk Rapids’ downtown is the third location. They also have shops in Sartell and St. Augusta.

“We love the location, and we hope our customers do too,” Kath said. “We know most people in central Minnesota need to have a vehicle for transportation.

While there is some public transportation, people cannot always depend on that. Our job in this new location is to help people get back on the road in their vehicle as quickly as possible without hurting their wallets more than necessary.”

Preusser and Kath became friends while attending St. Cloud Technical and Community College. The two decided to open an auto shop after graduation. For 11 years, Augusta Motor Works was their sole location. The duo added Sartell in 2015.

“We like to give our employees the chance to advance their careers, and we enjoy the opportunities of expansion as they present themselves,” Preusser said. “When we only had our St. Augusta location, none of those opportunities were present for our employees because the two PHOTO BY ANNA HINKEMEYER of us were always there and often greeted our customers at the Adam Preusser (left) and Jason Kath stand in front of the Sauk Rapids location of Motor Works Nov. 1. The two opened the shop on Benton Drive, in addition to locations in St. Augusta and Sartell.

How Title IX changed female high school athletics

Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part series surrounding the history and significance of girls sports within the Sauk Rapids-Rice District.

Look for the second half of the article in the Nov. 24 edition.

SAUK RAPIDS – Hockey, lacrosse, gymnastics and dance are four of many athletic opportunities available to girls attending Sauk RapidsRice High School. While the opportunities are plentiful for female athletes today, it has not always been this way.

had female sports in 1908, if not earlier, all the way up to the late 1930s.

However, the Minnesota Department of Education halted girls sports in 1938. A letter was sent to all district superintendents, stating all girls interscholastic programs were to be cancelled and girls sports should be switched to a girls athletic association format.

“Girls weren’t without sports during that time,” said Jim Worden, former Sauk Rapids-Rice High School athletic director.

“There just wasn’t any school competition.”

Sinclair presented at the Sauk Rapids Chamber of Commerce meeting Nov. 15. “Our experience is solely in the K-12 education,� Sinclair said. “Sometimes we forget to reach out to the business community and get their input. The meeting at the chamber was important to me because we were able to get some of their feedback.�

Sinclair said there is an open-ended feel to the conversations. “In the past, it seems these conversations have always had a different purpose,� Sinclair said. “The community has had the inclination the conversations were going to lead to an upcoming referendum. I want these to be different.

There will not be another referendum unless the community asks for it.�

While the themes thus far have not been compiled, Sinclair said there has been a shift from facilities concerns to other items. “The community seems a lot more concerned and driven by things like curriculum, academics and programming,� Sinclair said. “We have had a lot of conversation about robotics. Mental health is another big concern, and who all has a role in helping that – parents, schools and county services among them.�

While the first round of scheduled community conversations has come to a close, Sinclair feels this is only the beginning of the process. “I want the community to know we are still available for conversations,� Sinclair said. “We may not have any more scheduled, but we want to be able to meet and hear what the community has to say. We will meet with any group or organization, from one-on-one, to a small group to a group the size of the Sauk Rapids Chamber.�

Sinclair said there will likely be a second round of conversations with more focused questions. “We want to compile our common themes from the conversations we have had so far,� Sinclair said. “We want to have the opportunity for the community to think about some of those themes on a deeper level.�

Fire contract signed Joint agreement completed before expiration

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

RICE — The Watab Township Board signed the fire contract with the city of Rice at the Nov. 13 township meeting.

The 2019-20 contract was approved by the board in September, but due to a clerical oversight on the signature page the board waited to sign the document. The contract will be returned to the city of Rice before the expiration of the current contract. The newlysigned document is effective through Dec. 31, 2020.

Discussion on emergency services continues at board meetings.

Supervisor Julie Johnson again asked the board to consider refraining from billing township residents for medical calls. She said oftentimes the township is seeking funds from residents who do not have the ability to pay, shaming them and creating unnecessary burden for residents.

Johnson said residents pay taxes to support the township levy and then are charged, again, in the event of a call. Johnson asked for the issue to be added to next month’s agenda.

In other board news: - Approved 201920 road repair plans for Frost Road, 85th Street Northwest and Burton Place. Burton Court is under consideration but the board needs to continue discussion on the cul-de-sac next month.

If the estimate budget stands the township will

have roughly $41,000 in excess of the levy’s road fund to build funds for larger, upcoming projects.

- Approved road certification standards.

- Approved repairing the cul-de-sac in Ferry Point by adding crushed gravel. The area is underwater and the school district bus service advised the township of the need.

- Approved changing the verbiage of a donation to labor paid-out for funds provided to the Little Rock Lake Association for their assistance in the township clean-up day.

- Approved a bid for fiberglass insulation to repair the town hall’s ceiling. The approval is contingent upon funds being available and will likely be executed in the future.

competitions with Foley, with physical education teachers becoming coaches and others volunteering their time to officiate,” Worden said. “We had a good start and were wellprepared when the laws were passed. I knew the new laws were coming to fruition, as did many others. It just became an issue of women being able to have a place in life besides cooking the meals. It was apparent young ladies could do many of the same things as the men.”

Title IX legislation states “no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

The Minnesota State High School League was immediately committed to providing female athletic experiences across the state.

“The Minnesota State High School League is dedicated to providing educational opportunities in both activities and athletics for all students,” said Erich Martens, MSHSL executive director. “We are thrilled that girls and boys alike enjoy the challenge, teamwork, competition, experience and fun that participation offers all students.”

Worden said while Sauk Rapids-Rice was prepared and had already made changes ahead of 1972 when Title IX was enacted, not all schools

Girls participate in volleyball at Sauk Rapids-Rice Public Schools. By the 1980s, girls could participate in volleyball, basketball, track, cross-country skiiing, swimming and softball.

“Schools, at that point, had no choice. They either had to equalize for the girls or cut the boys programs. Many schools were to the point where they were being forced to cancel boys basketball or football because they had a hard time equalizing with opportunities for the girls. At Sauk Rapids, we were able to balance really well. We never had issues on equalization.”

you loved. It feels great to be a part of the beginning of womens sports in Sauk Rapids. It had to start somewhere, and it will continue to grow and improve as it goes on.”

When Christie was a student athlete, basketball was a fall sport, while volleyball was a winter sport.

The two were reversed when volleyball was designated by MSHSL as a fall sport in 1974, with basketball being declared for winter in the 1975-76 school year.

Youth programs were nonexistent for the earliest female athletes, making the first day of practice the start of becoming strong athletes.

“We never had any youth programs or anything like that,” Christie said. “It would have been wonderful to have youth programs, as well as the workout and weight room facilities that our students get to use today. I would have never imagined some of the opportunities students get today, but then again, I never really thought about the opportunities we didn’t have.”

Through the late 1970s, girls athletics at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School continued to grow.

Softball and girls swimming were added within five years of the adoption of Title IX. “We built the pool at the high school (current middle school) and that added momentum,” Worden said. “Girls swimming was actually added before a boys team was.”

Through the mid1980s, the four sports were the only high school athletics opportunities girls had to compete. But for athletes like Christie, four sports provided more than enough opportunity.

“It was a big deal to have interscholastic womens sports back on the scene,” Worden said. “It has really changed the culture in high schools over time, and I only expect the momentum to continue as womens sports continue to thrive.”

Girls sports in Sauk Rapids started with volleyball, basketball, track and cross-country skiing.

“We were all excited to have competitive girls sports with coaches and uniforms,” Christie said.

“It was rewarding to compete and play the sports

Sauk Rapids

ST. CLOUD — A Sauk Rapids man has been identified as one of two men killed in a high-speed chase after the theft of a vehicle Nov. 13.

James Parkos, 46, of Sauk Rapids, and David Isaacs, 42, of St. Cloud, died from injuries sustained in the crash.

According to the St. Cloud Police Department and Sherburne County, shortly after 1 a.m. law enforcement was dispatched to a report of a stolen vehicle in progress on the 2300 block of Minnesota Boulevard Southeast. A 46-year-old male Lyft driver was walking alongside the roadway. He said he had transported two males who eventually began grabbing the steering wheel, pulling on the driver’s seat belt and threatening to kill him. After stopping the vehicle, the driver got out and called police. The men drove away with the vehicle.

A Sherburne County deputy observed the vehicle heading southeast on County Road 8 at a high rate of speed. He clocked the vehicle at 112 mph. As the vehicle attempted to catch the vehicle, he saw a vehicle wreckage near the intersection of County Road 8 and 38th Avenue. The vehicle had crashed into trees.

Parkos was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. Isaacs was taken to the St. Cloud Hospital where he later died of his injuries. It is believed Isaacs was the driver of the vehicle at the time of the crash.

counter.”

They chose the Sauk Rapids community as their next location for many reasons – the first being location.

“This was a nice building, and it helped it was an auto shop previously,” Kath said. “Sauk Rapids is a good community to be a part of, and Benton Drive is a great spot for visibility. People will be able to recognize we are here. Most people don’t want to travel more than a couple miles from their home or job for auto repair, so we are here to provide that option for them.”

Preusser and Kath also like the community feeling of Sauk Rapids, and said they believe there is opportunity to build relationships.

Motor Works specializes in all makes and models, which they feel is what sets them apart.

“We spend the extra time and money to make sure we have technicians and technology that can do it all,” Kath said. “Some repair shops say they can repair anything, but that isn’t always the case. We make sure we can. We have all of the technicians and the tools to fix anything on any vehicle. We feel it is worth the extra investment because we can accommodate any customer.”

Preusser said they hope to be an asset to the citizens of Sauk Rapids.

“Our company has a strong reputation of getting it done as efficiently as possible, while being friendly and cost-effective,” Preusser said. “We plan to continue that and build our reputation here as well. We want the community to trust us with their auto repair needs.”

Positive impact through grants Central Minnesota Arts Board seeks community input

BY JAKE DOETKOTT STAFF WRITER

FOLEY — The Central Minnesota Arts Board is seeking feedback from community members as it moves into its next four years of programming. The board is required to submit a plan to the Minnesota State Arts Board every two years, including community feedback every four.

Assessments include online surveys, social media outreach and public listening sessions. Area residents are welcome to share feedback at a listening ses-

sion that takes place from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27 at the Sauk Rapids Government Center, 250 Summit Ave. S., Sauk Rapids.

“Minnesota’s demographic changes are the biggest reason we gather feedback on a continuum,” said Leslie LeCuyer, executive director of the Central Minnesota Arts Board. “Region 7W – Benton, Sherburne, Stearns and Wright counties – is expanding faster than any other region in the state.”

CMAB, a non-profit organization which began in 1979, provides the re-

gion with funding for the arts through an appropriation from the Minnesota legislature, the McKnight Foundation and the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. The organization is comprised of volunteer directors and provides funding through nine grant programs available to organizations and individuals within the four counties.

LeCuyer has served as executive director at the CMAB for 15 years. She is also a former Minnesota State House of Representative.

As an artist, LeCuyer is an advocate for the arts and said arts are essential to quality of life.

“People seem to think the arts are just fluff, but they are essential to our economic vitality, education and culture,” LeCuyer said.

In 1997, a legislative bill was proposed to dedicate funds to enhance, support and restore Minnesota’s water and wildlife habitats. Over the next 12 years, it evolved into the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. The amendment passed November 2008. Minnesota voters chose to amend the state’s constitution to in-

the Paul Bunyan statues.

Anyone who has been in Minnesota for any length of time knows the location of those sculptures.

Though not funded by us, Tom Henry’s sculpture collection at the intersection of Highway 23 and 25 helps to define Foley’s identity.”

According to Creative Minnesota Report, the arts have a $46 million economic impact in the region, with a $2 billion economic impact statewide.

Foley, as well as other communities within Region 7W, are directly im-

pacted by CMAB funding and programming.

In the past, a West African artist, Fred Yiran, taught Foley sixth-grade students about the cultural significance of African drumming. He conducted a residency where children created their own drums and hosted a concert for the community.

“We are about investing in experiences that impact all ages and offer people a diverse experience with the arts,” LeCuyer said. “Fred Yiran’s residency is a highlight of that goal.”

Rice Police Department activity Nov. 5 2051 hrs: Officers received a complaint from a juvenile male who said he was assaulted and threatened by another juvenile male with a handgun Halloween night. Officers spoke with the complainant’s parents. The investigation is open at this time.

Incidents: 8 various calls, 5 assists, 3 human services reports, 2 thefts and 2 records checks.

FOLEY — The Benton County Land Services Department is advising residents to notify the county assessor if there was a change in their homestead status in the last year.

Homeowners who have purchased a home or moved into a property in the past year should contact the assessor to file a homestead application if they or another qualifying relative occupy the property as a homestead on or before Dec. 1, 2018.

A qualifying relative includes a child, grandchild, sibling, or parent of the owner or owner’s spouse if living on an agricultural property. If living on a residential property, it additionally includes an owner’s uncle, aunt, nephew or niece.

Residents or qualifying relatives must apply on or before Dec. 15.

Once homestead is granted, annual applications are not necessary unless requested by the county assessor.

If you sell, move or for any reason no longer qualify for the homestead classification, you are required to notify the county assessor within 30 days of the change in homestead status.

Contact the county assessor at 320-968-5019.

Letters to the Editor

EDITORIAL

Gratitude, appreciation

Phil Rogholt, Sauk Rapids It has been an incredible journey representing our communities on the Sauk Rapids-Rice School Board for the last eight years. I appreciate the support I have received and the relationships built. While I am saddened I will no longer be on our school board, I have enormous gratitude I was given the privilege of serving our communities.

I wish nothing but the best for our returning board members, Lisa Braun and Robyn Holthaus, and for our newest board member Lisa Loidolt. I look forward to continuing to watch our district grow.

Go Storm.

Marching orders, part one Our family celebrated my firstborn’s 15th birthday.

The night before, I was cruising my Facebook feed, and I saw a friend post a flyer for an event at St. Cloud State University’s Women’s Center that was exposing fake health centers and that St. Cloud’s Pregnancy Resource Center was one of them. I was intrigued BY MERCY NYGAARD to listen to their reasoning Life by Faith and evidence supporting their claim, so I put the event in my calendar. It was going to be two days after our planned birthday party. We pleasantly surprised our daughter with a celebration, and I was quiet most of the time as I relished every moment her grandparents, aunts or siblings said, “I’m so glad you were born.”

The next two days were the usual daily doldrums and excellent ministry work of housework, schoolwork, meal preps and diaper changes. I thought about the flyer I saw on Facebook and if I would indeed be able to make it to the center. I asked my oldest if she would babysit so I could attend and listen to the news about fake healthcare centers in person. She said it worked out fine but the day was getting away from us, tempers were flying and school work was unfinished.

“Make a way if You would have me go,” I prayed.

My oldest stepped in and reassured me she had it taken care of as it was taking me too long to put on my shoes with the watermelon belly I am sporting in my way. Off I went and I prayed again on my drive asking God to help me listen well. If there was any way I could shed a light on His truth, I would be willing and obedient.

I walked into the Women’s Center five minutes late.

They had already started, and it was standing room. I stood in the back barely able to see the top of the speaker’s head. It was a woman reading from something, possibly something she had put together, and it sounded like it was gathered from other women’s stories that had visited the PRC feeling shamed, pressured to be prayed for, not directed to proper healthcare and not provided an abortion timely enough. “Fake,” she kept reiterating.

These fake healthcare centers are misleading women into keeping their babies and stalling them from having an abortion until it is too late, she said. Are there any questions, she asked.

I raised my hand but she did not see me. Another woman introduced herself as a woman of color from Nepal. She spoke non-cited statistics that women of color are more likely to become unexpectedly pregnant, uneducated and in poverty. She told of other women’s stories, women who were unable to find proper healthcare due to their ethnicity. She rallied the people to fight for women’s rights. “Will you?” she loudly asked. “Yes,” the listeners replied. “Will you stand for truth?” she continued. “Yes,” the listeners replied louder this time. She asked if the crowd would help stop detrimental and fake organizations like the Pregnancy Resource Center. The crowd united and agreed.

As they began to start their march towards the PRC for a peaceful protest, I made one last effort to raise my hand. I made eye contact this time with the lead facilitator of the event. She gave me permission to speak. “You asked if there were any questions, am I correct?” I said.

“Yes, absolutely,” she answered. I took a deep breath (something pretty common this far along in pregnancy) and I asked if we could hear from someone present who has had a personal experience at one of the health care centers. She looked around and no one responded, so I volunteered.

I walked to the front and began my story.

“Hi, my name is Mercy, and I am a woman of color,” I said. “My mother’s parents immigrated from Mexico.”

At your service Simondet grateful for opportunities to give back

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — Thanksgiving is a time where family and friends often come together to celebrate and pay gratitude to the blessings in their lives.

Some are thankful for good harvests, others for the safety of their loved ones. Some are thankful for the ability to celebrate with friendly faces, others are thankful for opportunities to give back to the community. All are reasons to reflect.

For Noah Simondet, of Sauk Rapids, the opportunity to serve his community has come on the weekend before Thanksgiving each year.

Simondet, 21, has volunteered at the Great River Rotary Thanksgiving Meal with his family since age 5.

“I’m sure I was as much trouble as I was

help when I was younger,” said Simondet, 2015 graduate of Sauk RapidsRice High School.

The Great River Rotary will host its 30th annual Thanksgiving meal Nov. 18 at the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School.

The meal, which feeds roughly 300 senior citizens from the area, is a collaboration of efforts from the Rotary, Sauk Rapids-Rice Drama Club, the Boy Scouts of Central Minnesota and others. Elderly are transported to the event from apartment buildings and assisted living communities so they may eat a traditional Thanksgiving meal and watch a fall musical matinee performance.

Simondet’s family involvement in Cub and Boy Scouts was the door which opened their opportunity at the meal.

Simondet and his brother Ben were both involved in the Scout organiza-

tions which began helping at the event. The boys started volunteering by opening doors, greeting and seating guests.

“From there, it moved to helping with water, coffee or food,” Simondet said. “When I became a little bit older, I would go around and talk with people to see what they needed. The past few years, I have helped with different things like food preparation and cleaning up af-

terward.”

Helping at the event turned into a family tradition for Simondet, who volunteers with his brother and parents – Kelly and Jennifer. They have created numerous memories at the Rotary meal.

“It has been a lot of fun for us,” Simondet said. “It is nice to see how we can give back to the community and having that one event every year that is always going

to be there has helped us volunteer consistently.”

After finishing Scouts, earning his Eagle Award, Simondet continues to participate in the Thanksgiving meal. He said he has more than one reason to come back each year.

“I recognize a lot of the people,” Simondet said. “That is something I have liked in the past few years. You start recognizing some of the older adults and they start

recognizing you. I like seeing people from the school, seeing the drama teachers. But, I think the biggest thing is community. It is a chance to give back, especially to senior citizens.”

Simondet said he does not see a lot of events that specifically revolve around the community’s elderly population, so he is grateful to be able to help provide

Simondet from pg. 8 an activity for them.

“It is a really nice event for them to be able to get together,” he said. “People can come in alone and get seated with other people. So, nobody throughout the dinner is by themselves. … Sometimes depending on a person’s physical ability, they may not have a chance to interact with other people often.

I like seeing that side of it. All the senior citizens are always very grateful, and they always seem very happy to be there.”

Each year is a new learning experience and a chance to give back.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Noah Simondet (right) carries a tray of food. Simondet volunteers with his family at the Rotary Thanksgiving meal each year.

“There was one year I didn’t go to the play and ended up staying in the commons and cafeteria area,” Simondet said.

“A lot of times most of the volunteers help clean

up – all the tables get put away, all the tablecloths go into a bin. You think everything is done and you go and watch the play. That is what I had done for many years.

That year, I decided to stay and help in the kitchen. They had a lot of dishes to wash, and you don’t realize how much other people are putting into something until you are there. I never knew how much they had left to do. It was an opportunity to help out and see what everyone else was putting into the event.”

Simondet plans to continue volunteering at the event even though he is no longer a member of a specific club. As a college graduate looking for a job, he is hesitant to commit to a civic group until he finds a community he will settle in. The Rotary dinner has offered him a place where he can express his gratitude for community while serving others.

Recipes: Holiday Turkey Remove giblets from the turkey and discard (or save for another use). Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Rub with salt and pepper.

Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. During that time, the surface of the turkey will become visibly dry and the skin will tighten; this encourages a nice crisp skin on the finished bird.

Remove the turkey from the refrigerator one hour before you plan to start roasting. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Farenheit.

Put the turkey on a rack set in a large, flameproof roasting pan. Drizzle oil over the top.

Roast for one hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 175 F. Pour cider into the roasting pan and sprinkle poultry seasoning in the liquid. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh (but not touching bone) registers to 170 F. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, skim the fat from the surface of the liquid in the pan. Put the roasting pan over two burners and bring the pan drippings to a boil over high heat.

Cook until the juices reduce and thicken slightly enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Carve the turkey and serve with cider pan juices.

Makes 15 servings.

Herb-Roasted Garnet Sweet Potatoes

1 fresh turkey, about 15 pounds 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 quart apple cider 2 teaspoons dried poultry seasoning Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a large roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the olive oil and herbs. Add the sweet potato dice to the mixture, and use your fingers to coat them well.

Season with salt to taste.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared roasting pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until your desired consistency is reached, whether you want them a bit firm or fork-tender.

Edible tip: A good alternate variety to Garnets are Red Jewels, which are easy to come by at both farmers markets and grocers. Look for a deep, bright color, and be sure to cook them fairly quickly after purchase. Unlike potatoes, sweet potatoes do not store well. Serves 4.

Granite City succeeds under Blizzard pressure

BY JAKE DOETKOTT | STAFF WRITER

Granite City hosted the Alexandria Blizzard Nov. 9 and 10, winning both games and securing a two-point lead over west division rivals the Rochester Grizzlies and North Iowa Bulls. Granite City has played less games than either team so they look to increase the points spread as they continue the season. The Lumberjacks play host to the Grizzlies Nov. 17.

Granite City 7, Alexandria 1 Goal scoring started at 5:07 in the first period from Daymin Dodge, assisted by Tom Nagle and Zack DeBoom.

With 15 seconds remaining, Grant Troumbly made an unassisted goal to put the Jacks up 2-0.

The Lumberjacks found their best opportunities during the second period.

Jordan Olson, assisted by Brad Amundson and Hunter Schwehr, claimed the first goal of the second period. Granite City scored again from Noah Bissett, assisted by Trevor Dummer and Nate Chamberlain. This marked Chamberlain’s first assist of the season.

Capitalizing while a man up, the Blizzard responded with a goal of their own. The score was 4-1.

About five minutes later, Blake Spetz, with assists from Amundson and Dodge, answered with a power play goal. Lumberjack Erik Evans scored his first goal of the season during a power play. Evans was assisted

by Jack Flattum and Sam Ohmes.

Lumberjack Zach Wilson, assisted by Flattum and DeBoom, broke through the Blizzard’s defense in the third period and scored at 11:23 while on a power play.

The Blizzard employed two goalies over the course of the game. Ville Hyttinen guarded the net for the majority of the first two periods, stepping off at 15:50 in the second. Hyttinen was replaced by Kyle Hayden.

Hayden remained in goal for the rest of the game. Hyttinen made 19 saves on 24 shots. Hayden made 14 saves on 16.

Lumberjacks goalie David Mulligan stopped 17 attempts at his net.

The Blizzard accrued 71 minutes of penalty time from 12 infractions which included calls for head contact and abuse of official. Granite City accrued 10 minutes from five infractions.

Granite City 4, Alexandria 3 (SO) Friday night’s game was a nonstop nail-biter.

Mulligan saved 28 of 31 shots attempted, completing the night with a 4-3 shoot-out win after three rounds of one-on-one play. Hyttinen stopped 31.

The Blizzard and Lumberjacks struggled to overpower each other in the early half of the game. Alexandria scored the lone goal of the first period and made the board 2-1 in their favor on a power play at 11:39 in the second.

The team will have Granite City rebounded with two goals less than their home opener Dec. a minute apart from each other to tie the game going 4 against Rocori-River into the third. Olson, assisted by Troumbly and Jordan Lakes.

Drobinski, and Bailey Sommers, assisted by Amundson and Sean Salz, tallied the goals.

Blizzard regained the lead but with only three seconds remaining on a power play Troumbly scored with assists from Salz and Dodge.

The Jacks and Blizzard went into overtime with neither team managing to score.

The game was decided by shootout. Granite City chose Sommers, DeBoom and Troumbly to shoot.

Troumbly scored the winning goal with Mulligan stopping the puck of his opponent.

Granite City accrued 20 minutes of penalty time from 10 infractions. Alexandria accrued 20 minutes from six infractions.
