ST. CLOUD – Candy striper is a term many people once associated with hospital volunteers. Although the red and white striped outfits and label have gone by the wayside, volunteers still exist inside the walls of CentraCare’s St. Cloud Hospital. Kayla Nachbar has taken full advantage of the opportunity while multitasking high school classes, dance, Minnesota Honor Society membership, a position as yearbook co-editor
and a part-time job at Starbucks. Nachbar, a class of 2019 Sauk Rapids-Rice graduate and resident of Rice, is a Student Hospital Support trainer. She donates at least eight hours of time and experience to the medical facility each week. “I have always known the medical field is where I wanted to work,” Nachbar said. “Ever since I was a kid, it has been instinct to help whenever anyone is hurt or sick.” As a member of Girl Scouts and a volunteer at the Tri County Humane Society, Nachbar was looking for an opportunity to get her foot in the door of the medical field. Nachbar’s mother, who had past experience as a hospital volunteer herself, recommended her

She is also the recipient of the Rosalie Timmers Memorial Scholarship and Award. “I love helping out in the community,” said Nachbar, daughter of Todd and Sue Nachbar. “It has become part of my routine.

We have been to 42 states and six other countries.” Freedom Flight was founded in 1988 and has since gained popularity throughout central Minnesota and the nation. The

SAUK RAPIDS – The city of Sauk Rapids is about to wave its red, white and blue. The Sauk Rapids City Council approved purchasing 88 United States flags to be placed two apiece on 44 poles in the downtown area at its June 24 meeting. The intent is to have the flags placed by the Fourth of July. According to Sauk Rapids City Administrator Ross Olson, as the city waits for design of banners on decorative light poles the idea arose to place flags on poles which have existing flag holders. The flags will appear as traffic enters town on either side along Benton Drive as well as on about two blocks of Second Street North as traffic comes into Sauk Rapids from the regional bridge. Olson said each year the public works department will hang the flags along with spring banners, and the flags would remain in place through the fall. The city will purchase a specific type of flag to withstand elements and bar the flags from looping in the wind. The flags will cost roughly $3,500 and will be purchased from The Flag Store LLC, of Sauk Rapids, which was the lowest bidder. In other council news: - Approved a contract with Allied Blacktop Company, of Maple Grove, for 2019 seal coating projects in the amount of $58,851.20. Allied Blacktop Company was the only bidder. Sealcoating will be completed by Aug. 31. - Approved redesign of the city’s website to allow compat-

Eichers worked for the city’s street department, and his position will now be posted. - Authorized the posting of an assistant maintenance supervisor. - Approved posting two vacant volunteer firefighter positions. The Sauk Rapids Fire Department has 28 active firefighters of an approved staff level of 30. - Approved updating and replacing servers and 15 computers. The city’s server and several staff computers are running on Windows 7 which Microsoft will not be supporting after Jan. 14, 2020. - Authorized engineer design of undergrounding power lines at Southside and Sauk Rapids Lions Sunset parks. - Accepted the 2019 Storm Water Prevention Program report. - Extended the contract with Charter Communication through Jan. 31, 2020. The contract expires July 2, and the city is in negotiations with the provider.

Care of cut flowers
The hard work we have put into our flower gardens is paying off and many gardeners want to have vases of flowers to enjoy indoors. In order to make flowers last lonBY LINDA G. ger, cut them in the morning TENNESON early if possible because the Green and outdoor temperature is cooler, Growing in and the flower stems are filled with water. Place the flowers Benton County in a bucket of water immediately after cutting to keep them hydrated. As soon as a stem is cut it tries to close or seal the stem to preserve fluid. Also, air bubbles may enter the cut end of the stem which will stop any water from reaching the bloom once the stem is placed in water. This is the reason stems should be recut once they are in a vase and cut while the stem is still under water. Cut flower buds when they are starting to open but have not fully done so yet. Look for color in a bud before cutting a flower. If a bud is cut too early, it may not open. The amount of bud opening may be different for different flowers, so some experimentation may be needed to determine the best time to cut buds. Stems should be cut with a knife or cutting tool that does not crush the stem. If it is crushed, water cannot travel up the stem once it has been placed in water. Cutting the stem at a 45 degree angle allows more interior stem surface to be exposed which will help it take up more water while in a vase. Any leaves or foliage that would end up below the water line should be removed. Those leaves will rot or biodegrade quickly and cause the vase water to smell bad and reduce the length of time before the flower blooms wilt. Flowers with milky stems do best when kept in vases on their own and not mixed with other flowers. The milky fluid will leak out of the stems into the vase water and cause other flowers to fade faster than they would normally. An alternative is to sear the ends of milky stemmed flowers or dip them in melted candle wax to prevent their milk from escaping into the vase water. Lukewarm water in the vase will be absorbed by the flowers more easily than cold water except for the blooms from spring bulbs which do best in colder water. Spring bulbs such as tulips and daffodils, which bloom in the early spring, are adapted to colder temperatures than later flowers. A commercial or homemade flower preservative will help keep blooms from wilting too quickly. Various recipes for homemade preservatives are available online. They all contain bleach, sugar and an acid such as lemon juice. These ingredients keep the pH of the water to stay on the acid side which helps the stems to take up more water. Sugar will feed the flowers, and bleach will retard bacteria from causing the bloom to fade or wilt as quickly. Flower bouquets should be kept out of the direct sun while indoors and away from ripening fruit. The gas the fruit emits will shorten the life of a vase of blooms. Changing the water every two days to keep it fresh and re-cutting the stems at the same time will also help extend the life of a vase of flowers. Linda G. Tenneson is a University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener and Tree Care Advisor.

Master gardeners announce summer tour
Elementary, early childhood space, elementary classroom space, traffic flow in pick up and drop off areas and use of district land and buildings. There was also emphasis on improving the safety of school building entrances. The highest priority noted updates to Pleasantview Elementary. Because the community was not specific on what they desired for the building, Sinclair asked follow up questions at open houses this week. “The structure and layout of the building was the focus,” Sinclair said. “The building has open pod classrooms with no doors which increases the volume, and it doesn’t work well. It also makes safety and security more challenging and the issues have become more compounded since the fire in January, where we lost four portables. It was valuable space.” From the listening sessions and surveys, the district learned the community desires to Pleasantview Elementary to be rebuilt at its current site. Sinclair said the idea is complicated but possible. The district is looking at the costs and timing surrounding the possibility. The community expressed wanting the district to offer a greater variety of early childhood
programming. One aspect is wrap around child care, where a child could attend preschool and then go to another classroom for care until later in the afternoon when their parents are available to pick them up. The district plans to pilot this option at Rice Elementary in 2019-20 with the rearrangement of the early childhood classrooms and security upgrades. “It is something the community has told us they want, and we are excited to try it,” Sinclair said. “The security upgrades at that building moved the early childhood classrooms to one area with its own secure entrance which allows us one extra classroom to pilot this program.” Sinclair spoke of the community’s concerns on the safety of pick up and drop off areas. “We don’t see it as an immediate concern, but very few schools are able to handle the number of parents picking up and dropping off their children from school each day,” Sinclair said. “This can be fixed by redesigning the parking lots we have and training families on how the process works and flows which will help keep safety in the forefront.” With the district closing open enrollment in the later part of 2018,
elementary classroom space should become more manageable as time goes on. “We are already expecting fewer kids in the district next year,” Sinclair said. “We don’t expect the district to grow but rather level off which will alleviate the need for additional space.” The district has taken steps toward additional resources for mental health. Next year, each building will have a social worker, and the district is implementing additional staff at the elementary level to focus on social and emotional learning. While the open houses were the next step in the process of the One Storm, One Future initiative, they are not the end. The district is working on compiling feedback from the three open houses and letting the data dictate what the next steps should be. “People felt we are on the right track as a district which has been nice to see,” Sinclair said. “We had a variety of participants and had mostly positive results. We are appreciative of the community engaging in the process because it allows us the opportunity to know what they want and where we need to be as a school district.”

Relationships on the road Schmitz drives for Schwan’s BY DANNA SABOLIK | STAFF WRITER
SAUK CENTRE – Catching a glimpse of the yellow Schwan’s truck is a familiar sight in central Minnesota. From customer to curious neighbor, most recognize the name and have visited with a delivery man. David Schmitz works for Schwan’s Home Service Inc. as a delivery driver. But for him, the job is more than a career – it is a lifestyle. “You have to enjoy talking to people,” Schmitz said. “You meet a lot of people in this job.” Schmitz is part of a team of Schwan’s drivers who deliver to homes in central Minnesota including the Sauk Rapids and Rice areas. He has worked from a Sauk Centre base location for six years. With June being National Dairy Month, a lot of sales surround dairy products. Whether due to kids being home from school and craving ice cream treats or the rising temperatures tempting a cold cone, dairy products are a staple on the truck. “This time of year, you want to have certain kinds of ice cream treats as well as certain half
gallons and gallons because they are more popular,” Schmitz said. Summer Dreamsicle is a popular ice cream flavor, and Signature Vanilla Ice Cream Bars are essential items to have on the truck when Schmitz begins his route. A typical day for a Schwan’s driver begins at 10 a.m. with a team meeting and overview of the day’s routes and orders. “We like to get pre-orders because that’s a guaranteed sale,” Schmitz said. “And, you have a better idea of what to load on the truck.” After a pre-trip check of the vehicle, the rest of the day involves windshield time and sales. “I will have anywhere from 35-50 stops in a day depending on my route,” Schmitz said. “Some country days are shorter in terms of stops, but you might have more miles that day. In town, you will have more stops, but three stops could be in the same neighborhood.” Following the route and getting to customers on time is important to Schmitz and something he makes a priority in his job. After his route is complete, he arrives at the depot in Sauk Centre at 8 p.m. to do a post-trip inventory check and load the truck for the next day’s trip. “Every day has its own challenges whether it’s
“Every day has its own challenges whether it’s working with a difficult customer or trying to get new customers. If you have time in your day, we are encouraged to get new business and other days are so busy you hardly have time to complete what you need to.” - David Schmitz working with a difficult customer or trying to get new customers,” Schmitz said. “If you have time in your day, we are encouraged to get new business and other days are so busy you hardly have time to complete what you need to.” When it comes to inventory, a computer system recommends what to load on the truck, but Schmitz said it is also about knowing your customers.

In a time where grocery store pickup and delivery is becoming increasingly more popular, Schmitz said Schwan’s has remained a mainstay due to its reputation. “Schwan’s has a

history of quality, convenience and customer relations,” he said. “You know you’re getting a quality product with us.” In his time with the company, Schmitz has had memorable moments on the road. “One day I got stuck three times,” he said. “It was a spring day when the snow had melted just enough and formed a crust on the road, and my truck would just spin. I had to be pulled out three times that day.” Another day, Schmitz worked during a blizzard. “I was in town, so it wasn’t so bad,” Schmitz said. “But those are the
days that stick out to you the most – the hard days.” Schmitz likes that he can be outside in the spring and summer seasons. A tricky part of delivery is when customers are not home. People tend to be home less and less, and with busy schedules, it can be hard for a driver to connect with customers. The company is now offering online ordering and ordering through their app. “I find the app is easiest to use for orders myself,” Schmitz said. “You can order right off your phone, and we also
offer specials online.” Schmitz sees the future of Schwan’s embracing technology and continuing to grow an online presence. “Down the road, I see people not only ordering on their apps but same-day delivery,” he said. Schmitz hopes to see that happen. “I like working here,” he said. “Every job has good days and bad days, but here there’s more good days than bad. That’s all you can hope for.”

FOLEY – Can you walk on eggs without them breaking? Have you ever bounced an egg? Are chickens mean? Kids tried these things, had questions answered and learned more about chickens at the 4-H Day Camp “EGGstravaganza.” The event took place June 11 in Foley and June 13 in Sauk Rapids. The participants met two chickens. “Will it bite me?” a young boy asked. “No,” said Morgan Molitor, a 4-H ambassador from Sauk Rapids. “They use their beaks to peck and eat. They won’t chase you. They are nice.” The participants worked along with 4-H ambassadors to package up an egg with different supplies and drop it from a high place to see if the egg stayed safe. They used marshmallows, wash cloths, napkins and more. Then,

Community education inspires creativity A look into summer classes BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Students gathered at the Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School June 27 for a morning filled with fun. Eleven students participated in classes – Celebrate Red, White and Blue, and Kids Bath Bomb Making – hosted by Sauk RapidsRice Community Education. A smell of mini cherry pies wafted from one of the classrooms as children made treats in the patriotic colors. They cut star shaped watermelon and top crusts to adorn their pie filling, and dipped pretzel rods and Oreos in white almond bark and red and blue sprinkles. Once the festive foods were finished, the children were sent home with their treats and the star cutters. Some of the children stayed and joined new-
comers at the bath bomb making session. Each participant grabbed a mixing bowl where they combined Epsom salt, citric acid, corn starch, baking soda, coconut oil and drops of lavender. After working the materials, food color was added to make blue, purple, green and pink tub toys. The final step was pressing the mixture into silicone molds, and the students transported their creations home to allow them to harden for 24 hours. In addition to the bath bombs and silicone mold, participants received a sphere mold to be used at home if they should continue to make the items in the future. Community education program coordinator Amy Gunderson instructed the one-hour classes. Gunderson said the program offers about two classes each week in June and July.

Rosas puts his stamp on Timberwolves draft New Timberwolves President Gersson Rosas wasted no time in beginning to shape his team’s roster to match his vision. Rosas said multiple times the team needs to improve its perimeter depth and defense, and by ANDY THAYER June 20 moves during Sports Columnist the NBA draft directly supported those goals. Rosas traded power forward Dario Saric and the team’s 11th overall pick to Phoenix for the sixth pick, where the Wolves selected 6-7 wing Jarrett Culver from Texas Tech. Culver is known for his playmaking and perimeter defense, and he should fit well next to Robert Covington, Andrew Wiggins and Josh Okogie in the Wolves’ new small-ball lineups. Most draft boards and prospect rankings lists I saw leading up to the draft had Culver projected in the 3-8 range, so the Wolves seem to have gotten appropriate value at No. 6. Culver’s well-rounded combination of playmaking and disruptive defense was on full display when he carried Texas Tech to the college basketball championship game this past March. Rosas said the team will be open to playing three wings at a time. “Where we’re at in the NBA now, you have four perimeter players. Point guard, three wings, and a big,” Rosas said. With a versatile big man like Karl-Anthony Towns and a large wing like Covington, the Wolves might be able to pull this off. Think about how strong and rangy the team’s defense could be with the Okogie, Culver, Covington and Towns all on the floor at the same time. The organization’s primary goal is to maximize the talents of Towns, and they are doing that by surrounding him with good defenders and athletic wings that can knock down open shots when KAT is doubled. Culver should excel in this kind of system, where he can cut away from the ball and create shots in pick-and-roll sets with Towns. Opposing defenses are going to be constantly pressured by an offense that is geared toward KAT’s strengths, and if someone from the Culver, Wiggins, Okogie, Covington wing grouping develops a reliable three-point shot, this is going to be a nightmarish offense to try to defend. In the second round, with the 43rd-overall pick, the Wolves selected shooting guard Jaylon Nowell from Washington. As a sophomore for the Huskies, Nowell averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals, but most importantly he shot 50% from the floor and 44% from beyond the 3-point line. His sweet stroke from downtown helped him win the Pac-12 conference player of the year award, and he was projected by some pundits as a mid-tolate first round pick. Snagging a solid shooter and potential rotation player at pick 43 was a solid move by the Wolves, and it adds even more wing depth to a team that is clearly planning on playing small ball next season. I would not be surprised if Rosas and the Wolves did not have another big move or two up their sleeve this summer. While the team is essentially cappedout financially as currently constituted, I do not think Rosas will hesitate to create some cap room by moving players like Wiggins, Gorgui Dieng and Jeff Teague if at all possible. Those players (and their large salaries) do not exactly represent the most appealing trade platter for other teams, but Rosas could sweeten those deals with future draft picks if he really wants to clear up some cap space and create roster flexibility. The Wolves have been strongly rumored to be courting D’Angelo Russell in free agency, and they are going to need to find additional cap space somewhere if they want to sign an elite free agent like that. The good news is the Wolves clearly have a plan now. They are building an athletic, defense-first team around Karl-Anthony Towns, and new lottery pick Jarrett Culver is going to fit in perfectly with what Gersson Rosas is trying to accomplish. The Wolves probably will not be a contender in 2019-20, but it is possible the building blocks are now in place for the next competitive Wolves team a year or two down the road.

Legion ball
First half success Post 254 holds 6-2 record with seven games remaining BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
Victory is the name of the game for the Sauk Rapids Post 254 sluggers this week. The Legion baseball team played in five games. They earned wins in all but one. Post 254 participated in a 16 team St. Cloud Chutes tournament June 21-23 at the Municipal Athletic Complex in St. Cloud where they took third. “The tournament had many high quality teams from Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota,” said Paul Wippler, head coach. “It puts a strain on our pitching depth, but helps develop more arms as you have to use more pitchers. All of the pitchers from this tournament will need to perform well if we are going to make a playoff run.” Sauk Rapids earned wins over St. Michael, Andover and Rogers while losing to the St. Cloud Chutes. The team followed up with an 11-5 win over the St. Cloud 76ers June 25 to wrap up the week. The four additional wins bring Post 254’s re-

cord to 6-2 with seven regular season games remaining before playoffs. Looking ahead, Post 254 will host Brainerd at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 2 at Bob Cross Park in Sauk Rapids. Sauk Rapids 11, St. Cloud 76ers 5 Cole Fuecker and Tyler Hemker helped Post 254 to an 11-6 win June 25 against the St. Cloud 76ers. Fuecker went 3-5 at the plate with two runs and six RBIs. Tyler Hemker went 4-5 with three runs and two RBIs. “I saw the ball well and tried to go after the first pitch every time, or I would get ahead in the
count so the pitcher would have to throw a fastball,” Tyler Hemker said. “We were all aggressive at the plate and played well all seven innings. The only inning we didn’t score was the sixth.” Fuecker earned his first RBI in the first inning, scoring Tyler Hemker on a line drive to left. The momentum continued in the second as Fuecker earned three more RBIs on a line drive to center and scored on a grounder from Trygve Hanson. Tyler Hemker earned an RBI in the third off a line drive to center before Fuecker stepped back into action with a fly ball over
the left field fence to score both Tyler Hemker and himself. The fourth inning started off with a bases loaded situation from four consecutive walks. Reid Lunser scored. Tyler Hemker hit a line drive to right field to bring in Derek Durant for another run. Going into the fifth inning, Post 254 was ahead 10-4. Durant hit a sacrifice fly to center with one out to bring Andrew Wollak home for the 11-5 win. Hanson and Reid Lunser pitched for Post 254, striking out four with eight hits.

said. “Tyler Hemker shut them down after the second inning, and we pecked away at the score to tie it and then win it in the bottom of the seventh.” Post 254 fell behind early in the game 6-1 by the end of the second with a fly ball to center being the only scoring opportunity for Sauk Rapids until the bottom of the third. Fuecker sent a fly ball sailing to center field for an RBI followed by a fly ball to right from Hanson. The score was 6-3 at the end of the third. Post 254 did it again in the fourth inning with a grounder to shortstop from Pesta and a Fuecker walked while bases were loaded to score two runs. The bottom of the seventh was eventful for Sauk Rapids. Durant hit a line drive to left to bring Hanson around for the tie run. A bases loaded situation arose again midway through the inning, and Wollak was hit by a pitch, and it forced a rotation on the bases and brought the final run. “Rogers had a very nice ball club, and it’s always great coming back from a big deficit to win,” Fuecker said. “They had some costly errors, and we took advantage of them. We weren’t too sharp at the plate in the beginning, but we figured it out later in the game.” RHE Rogers 3300000 653 Sauk Rapids 1 0 2 2 0 0 2 7 9 1 AB R H RBI BB K Tyler Hemker 402 0 0 0 Pesta 411 1 0 0 Fuecker 312 2 1 1 Hanson 412 2 0 1
