Walter resigns council position Two additional Rice roles vacant
Same Local Coverage Since 1854.
This is only a drill
BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
RICE – Five months since filling a vacancy, the Rice City Council is back to the drawing board. Council member Kyle Walter has resigned his role due to his family’s relocation. The resignation is effective Aug. 15. “First of all, I want to apologize,” Walter said. “I wouldn’t have come to you guys and interviewed if I didn’t think I would be able to do the full term. But we were approached with our house not on the market and – fortunately and unfortunately – it sold.” Walter was sworn in to office March 4 after being appointed from a pool of six candidates. Walter, a husband and father of four children, will be building a home in Langola Township. “I’m excited but disappointed at this situation,” Walter said. “I appreciate the time I did and wish I could longer.” In addition to Walter’s resignation, the city approved a resignation from park board member Jerry Sauer, who is also moving out of the area. This brings the city’s total staff vacancies to three. The city has received two applications

Emergency responders simulate a community’s worst day BY NATASHA BARBER | STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – It was 7:14 p.m. when the call came in: A gunman at the Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School. “This is only an exercise,” said a volunteer as she made the call which initiated one of two training drills that took place at the building Aug. 7. Several 9mm blanks were fired and the sharp pops echoed through the hallways near the west gym. The scent of gun powder lingered in the air. Sauk Rapids Police Department, Sartell Police Department and Benton County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched from the nearby Sauk Rapids Government Center where they were staged prior to the call. The gunman, trying to evade officers, ran down the hallway and cut through the community room. He was apprehended in less than 5 minutes. When the building was secured by officers and role-playing victims were located, members of the Sauk Rapids Fire Department were escorted by law enforcement as they began rescue procedures.

RICE – The Benton County Fair has been an annual occurrence for 107 years and is a way for the community to come together and celebrate the best of what Benton County has to offer. For one Rice couple, the annual event means much more. Larry and Esther Hackett fondly remember their first days at the fair in 1959. The two were showing animals in 4-H and had their humble beginnings. “We had that common bond of animals, agriculture and 4-H,”

He was it.” The couple celebrated their 60th year at the Benton County Fair, attending five days of the six-day fair event. They did their self-described favorite things – watching 4-H competitions, visiting with friends and family and enjoying fair food staples like Prom’s cheese curds and Lowell’s corn dogs. “We just love fairs,

District puts Pleasantview Elementary on ballot
R32-1B-KB
BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Residents within the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District will see a referendum request on the Nov. 5 election ballot. The school board approved the request for a special election at its Aug. 5 meeting. The ballot will ask one question: Should the district replace Pleasantview Elementary School at its current site? The proposed project is budgeted for $37.1 million and includes building the new school, rerouting utilities and demolishing the current building. The tax impact on the district’s current median home value of $182,000 would be $6.58 per month or $78.96 per year. The projected tax impact is based on the estimated tax increase from taxes payable in 2019 to taxes payable in 2020. “The plan the school board approved is the first step in the district’s longterm plan to improve our facilities,” said Aaron Sinclair, superintendent.
“Our community was clear during our listening sessions and survey. They wanted the district to address Pleasantview. Now, the school board is giving the community a chance to decide how to move forward. A public decision on Pleasantview will determine how the district moves forward with other priorities.” The district administration is preparing to initiate the review and comment documentation following the board approval, which is part of the approval process from the Minnesota Department of Education. Sinclair said they hope to submit everything within one week. The Nov. 5 special election will be the first time Pleasantview Elementary stands alone on a referendum ballot question. It was included as part of larger scale facilities projects on the district’s 2017 and 2018 referendums which failed. Through community feedback, the district identified Pleasantview Elementary as one of five priorities they would
like the district to work on. Others included increasing early childhood space, increasing elementary space, improving the traffic flow at each building and getting the most out of current land and building spaces. Rebuilding Pleasantview Elementary addresses portions of four of five areas. In other board news: - Board member Mark Hauck spoke about conversations he has been having with principal Sue Paasch and Rice city staff regarding safe crossings within the city of Rice for students and families walking or biking to and from Rice Elementary School. Hauck said the discussion thus far has surrounded three points – installing a pedestrian island in the center of Main Street, improving the area around the railroad crossing and improving the sidewalk to the south of Rice Elementary. - Approved the health insurance quote with Blue Cross Blue Shield for the two-year cycle.

Police tape indicates an injured victim during the hostile threat training Aug. 7 at Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School in Sauk Rapids. Twenty community volunteers assisted with the event.
Hostile threat from front The goal: Preserve life and extricate those inside in less than 30 minutes. Law enforcement, firefighters, district administration and volunteers came together Wednesday to conduct Law Enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response training. The exercise, which is based on federal standards, is used to prepare emergency personnel with knowledge and experience they hope to never use. The FBI defines an active shooter as one or more individuals engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. According to the bureau’s statistics, 27 incidents resulted in 85 people killed and 128 wounded in 2018, with the highest number of casualties occurring at a high school in Parkland, Fla. Wednesday’s training came on the heels of 2019’s deadliest mass shooting which took place Aug. 3 at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, and an incident less than 24 hours later in Dayton, Ohio. A total of 31 people lost their lives in the two incidents; another 53 were injured. The Sauk Rapids Police Department has trained for these scenarios for a number of years but has been rotating through the community’s schools for the last three. The first event took place at Hillside School in 2017. Last year, the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School hosted the exercise.
Sauk Rapids Police Chief Perry Beise said his department focuses on school buildings due to their complicated nature and accessibility in summer months. “An office building isn’t going to be much different than a school building; it’s going to have hallways and corridors and probably be a lot smaller size,” Beise said. “It would be a lot less complicated than going into a larger school with 1,000 kids and sheer pandemonium breaking out.” SRPD Sergeant Brent Bukowski coordinated the LASER training which consisted of a three hour classroom and tabletop exercise, hostile threat exercises and a debriefing session. Ten law enforcement officers participated in this week’s event, and the remaining Sauk Rapids officers will take part in a second session Wednesday, Aug. 14. Each law enforcement officer receives eight hours of continuing education credits for the training. “The goal is to neutralize the threat, maintain security of the building, and provide security for rescue personnel,” Bukowski said. “Our rescue teams are two firefighters and two police officers who come into the building and remove the patients to a collection point for transport.” As 20 community vol-
Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School assistant principal Jessica Messerich (from left), principal Nate Rudolph and Brad Berghuis, director of building and grounds for the district, listen to Sauk Rapids Police Sergeant Brent Bukowski Aug. 7 in Sauk Rapids. The school district learned information about their building and police procedures during the hostile threat exercise.
“Everybody comes when these things happen,” Beise said. The evening was a sobering look into the active shooter scenario. By 8:30 p.m., the group completed its exercises and hosted a comment period where all
were welcome to contribute feedback about procedures. Law enforcement returned to the police station for an additional debriefing. “It is very beneficial for us to do this,” Beise said. “Police and fire run toward where the danger is
– we can’t help ourselves. That’s what we do; that’s who we are. But sometimes we need to figure out how to organize ourselves and how to make the system work. … God forbid if this ever happens, we’ll be better prepared and we’ll be better leaders.”
Sauk Rapids Police Officers Katy Davis and Jacob Galvin provide cover for arresting officers Jared Timm and Montana Hanson Aug. 3 in Sauk Rapids.

Sauk Rapids Police Sergeant Brent Bukowski and Sauk Rapids Fire Captain Jared Gapinski discuss rescue procedures Aug. 3 at the Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School in Sauk Rapids. Law enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response training took place at the site.
unteers performed roles as injured victims and innocent bystanders, their cries for help were heard faintly through closed classroom doors. Fire and lock-down alarms were triggered to add stress, and officers worked methodically to clear hallways and rooms – reporting information and protecting one another on the way. District and city stakeholders observed the scenario unfold. Bukowski said the training allows officers to establish leadership skills and work toward the national standard of unified command where varying agencies work together. The simulation is also invaluable to school district officials. They learn the movements of emergency response and how to better equip their staff and students with the information they need to protect themselves. In a real event, a realm of extra features come into play. Dispatchers can access 911 2-D mapping which pinpoints callers location, live security cameras can be viewed to facilitate the procedure, and mobile software can be implemented for communication. Beise expects law enforcement and rescuers from within 30 miles would respond to the call.

Rice City Council from front for the Rice Recreation Manager, and they plan to interview for the position Monday, Aug. 12. The city will be posting for park board applications, and the council asked clerk Julie Fandel to confirm whether the city can use the same applicant pool from February to fill the council vacancy. Whomever is appointed by the council will serve through Dec. 31, 2020. The council will host its next meeting at 7 p.m. Aug. 19. In other council news: - Approved updated storm water and sign ordinances. - Approved up to $30,000 for a computer system and electrical hook ups for the city’s water treatment after the prior system failed last month. The new computer will be purchased from Preferred Controls Inc., of Albany. - Approved a one year extension to Hydrostat, Inc. to meet Minnesota Investment Fund requirements. Stacy Schraut, owner of Hydrostat, was granted a MIF loan in 2017. The only portion of the loan the company has not met is creating 10 additional jobs. The extension was recommended by Drew Lindorfer, of the Department of Employment and Economic Development. Schraut said finding employees has been a struggle despite the previous advertising, such as using sign on and recruitment bonuses, working with development groups, trade schools and temp agencies. “My obligation was to create 10 jobs,” Schraut said. “In my opinion, we’ve fulfilled that obligation. … In April and May, we averaged 900 hours of overtime each month. If you divide that out over 40 hours a work week – that’s five or six employees right there. In addition to that, we’ve been averaging
anywhere from two to four temps at any given time over the last year. We actually have two who will be hired on if they make it through their 90 days …” Schraut said he is unsure he will be able to fulfill the requirement of creating 10 jobs but he understands the repercussions. “It’s that hard out there,” Schraut said. “We’re paying a very competitive wage, not only for Rice, but for central Minnesota … We’ve got a very good medical plan, dental plan, a 401K match; I don’t know what else we can add to recruit people to come … It’s tough out there but it’s tough out there for everybody else, as well. We lost a couple good employees this year. We’ll gain a couple somebody else will lose. That just gets us back to even is all it does. We’ll keep trying.” Despite the employee shortage, Schraut said the growth in his company is there. “We’ve met those expectations and somewhat exceeded them,” he said. “We’re excited about that.” According to Schraut, the business could receive more extensions to fulfill the requirement under special circumstances but could be subject to penalties and interest if the obligation is not met. - Approved donation of $100 to the Rice Fire Department from Dennis Skwira, 1,000 drug deactivation kits to the Rice Police Department from RX Abuse Leadership initiative, and Black Rifle Coffee to the police department from James Hovda. - Approved a large gathering permit for Bridge Church’s Party in the Park Aug. 29 for Bridge. The church will host a community gathering with a concert by DPB and Crew, food, games and giveaways on its new property near the Rice ballfields. - Approved a large gathering permit for the Old Creamery Arts and Craft Show Sept. 7-8.

Hacketts from front plain and simple,” Esther said. “It’s where we met, and we have definitely continued this into an annual tradition.” After meeting in August 1959, the couple began courting and were exclusive by Christmas of that year. The two dated for four and a half years while Esther finished high school. Not long after, they made their love a commitment. “Oct. 18, 1963,” Esther said of the couple’s engagement. “I remember the day so well. I had graduated that year and we knew our love was real. We were married Jan. 25, 1964 – another day I remember well. We got married at two in the afternoon, had a dinner in the church basement and were done by six.” The Hacketts’ love for each other has blossomed a strong marriage of 55 years. Together, they had five sons – Ryan, Keith, Kevin, Rod and Randy – along with 12 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. All live within 35 miles of the couple. “It has been a blessing to have them all so close,” Larry said. “They come around often.” Over the course of their marriage, Larry and Esther have kept their faith at the center of everything, saying prayers each morning together during breakfast and attending weekly Mass. Larry and Esther started a tradition in their family without even knowing it: participating in 4-H showmanship at the fair. Their children, 12 grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren have shown animals through 4-H. “We love going to the fairs to watch the

Next, they will travel to the Morrison County Fair in Little Falls which takes place Aug. 8-10. “We travel around to the several fairs to have the different experiences,” Esther said. “We usually never miss the Minnesota State Fair either.” Through their 55 years of marriage and 60 years together, the Hacketts have raised a family, operated a dairy farm and built a foundation of love and trust. “It’s really all about the love you have for each other,” Larry said. “I have loved Esther since the very first day I met her and that will never change. She’s the one God made for me, and I have truly enjoyed every bit of our marriage. I have no regrets.”

SAUK RAPIDS – A group of residents in Watab Township are upset with noise given off by aerial agriculture planes. “I know they have to do something,” said Steve Peka, township resident. “It’s part of farming procedures; they need to go out and tend to their fields. But there must be alternative ways of putting this application down which would be quieter or else less time.” Three residents spoke up at the Watab Township meeting Aug. 6, asking the township supervisors to seek information of resolve from the Minnesota Association of Townships. “Can we go to them (MAT) and ask questions in regards to the spraying,” Peka said. “Are there other alternatives in a residential area? Can we contact the attorney? I’m sure this question has been brought to other townships so I’m guessing the association should have some knowledge and background.”
Peka said the township has invested in quiet railroad crossings which are a moot point given the noise from aircraft. He said there are people in the neighborhood who sleep during the day due to evening employment who have been disturbed by the planes and that planes are sometimes flying when not applying a treatment to the crop. “It’s been every Monday and Tuesday for the last eight to 10 weeks,” Peka said. “… Sometimes they’ll go for four hours on a field in front of me and it’s not even a 1 square mile field.” Supervisor Julie Johnson said she spoke with an agronomist prior to the meeting and was told the proper channel to complain is through an online form on the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s website. “I recommend you file the formal complaint with the department of ag because then they are responsible for following up and if they are not following up, then you have recourse against them.” Peka said he had
- Approved contracting services from TriCounty Humane Society for $700. In the past, the township has donated roughly $1,500 for services but supervisor Johnson said, done properly, the township should be under contract with the group. - Approved a bid with Westwood Professional Services for surveying of the Sharon Place Northwest road. The township was informed that even with the county’s establishment of a boundary commission, the township is responsible for finding the proper location of its road. The cost of surveying the road and establishing pins will be $5,000. - The township has updated its website and it is live. With the new database, those wishing to receive the updates from the township – such as agendas – should sign up for the emails online. The prior list will no longer be in use. - The township will be seeking information from the county department of development regarding the dilapidated Kings Inn building and a home on West Lake Road to see if there is any action that can be taken.

checked with a few agencies who have said they have not authority over the noise and low flying. Still, Johnson urges those residents who are concerned file formal complaints with the MDA, saying the more who file complaints the better chance of action being taken. Resident Dave Sweeney agreed with Peka but also spoke of health concerns. Sweeney said his family remains indoors due to their apprehensions regarding the damage aerial application can be to their health. “We’re held prisoners in our own home,” Sweeney said. “This week, they started at 6:10 in the morning and they were flying over our house again at 1 o’clock in the afternoon – at least that’s the same day, usually it’s been two days a week.” Sue Monnier agreed. “It’s gotten really excessive,” she said. “It’s a lot earlier in the morning. The one morning it was 5 o’clock and it was still dark out, so what he was spraying, who knows because you couldn’t see.” Johnson plans on following up with MAT, and supervisor Steve Wollak will follow up with the agricultural producer. In other board news: - The road construction on 85th Street Northwest and Frost Road Northwest is near completion. Residents are welcome to water as they see fit. - Approved reimbursement of $250 to a resident of the Lake Andrew Development for bollards that were removed by the township in 2018 from an outlot. The resident had requested $500 but will need to provide receipts for materials and labor for the full amount.

Gardening surprises Gardeners sometimes find the blooms on our plants are not what we expected. This frequently happens after a bulb has been growing for several years. The original bulb has died off and produced baby bulbs which have BY LINDA G. then grown to full size and TENNESON bloomed. Many of the bulbs Green and we purchase are hybrids and Growing in after a few years of produc- Benton County ing subsequent generations of bulbs, the DNA is not always duplicated. The plant characteristics may throw-back or revert to those of the original bulbs that were used to produce the hybrids. Unfortunately, those characteristics that show up may be ones the gardener does not want. I have had beautiful multi-colored Asiatic and oriental lilies show up as solid cream or orange blooms several years after they were originally planted. Those bulbs had reverted to the colors and characteristics of the original bulbs. Once this happens, the only choice is to dig up the bulb and replace it with a new one or leave it and let it continue to bloom in its original color. Another gardening surprise is a sport, which is a branch or fruit that is different from the parent plant. A dwarf evergreen may have a nice, round compact shape and one branch that suddenly grows to full size out of the side of the plant. Sports may grow more vigorously than the original plant and come to dominate it. Therefore, these sports must be cut off in order to maintain the dwarf shape and characteristics. Some sports have created new plants. The nectarine is thought to have originated as a sport of a peach. These sports do not show a reversion or change back to a previous generation but are the result of a genetic mutation or change in the DNA of the plant. Further gardening surprises come from hosta, sedum and other plants grown for their variegated green leaves that begin to produce solid colored leaves after a few years of life. The variegated leaves may have occurred for various reasons, including a virus that infects the plant, a natural change or the result of careful hybridization. Variegated leaves are often smaller and do not grow as well in the shade. Because the solid green growths have more chlorophyll and can use light more efficiently those leaves are usually stronger, and the plant may revert to them in order to stay alive and growing. Solid green leaves must be removed in order to keep the variegated growth. Plants may change their color or characteristics through human-caused hybridization or they may cross breed on their own. I planted daylilies of different colors next to each other and was surprised to find this year’s blooms appear to be a crossbreed of the two original colors. Daylilies may be crossbred by moving the pollen from one bloom to another, and I wonder if a pollinator insect did that work. Because I usually remove daylily seed pods before they ripen and spill new seeds on the ground, I have not yet figured out how these apparently crossbred lilies have developed. One more change gardeners are more familiar with is the need for acidic or lower pH soil around hydrangeas in order to have blue or lavender blooms. Alkaline soil or pH 7 and above will produce pink blooms. Linda G. Tenneson is a University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener and Tree Care Advisor.

RICE/SAUK RAPIDS – Community members spent the evening outdoors Aug. 6 as many celebrated National Night Out. A number of events took place throughout Rice, Sauk Rapids and Watab Township. National Night Out is a campaign that promotes partnerships between law enforcement and neighborhoods and it takes place annually the first Tuesday in August. Oftentimes, the community’s elected officials and additional emergency personnel take part in the community building event. The Rice Women of Today hosted the city’s event and has done so for at least four years. They served a hotdog meal, and Rice Police Department, Rice Fire Department and Benton County Sheriff’s Office had vehicles and equipment for families to tour. The supervisors of Watab Township hosted its first National Night Out event where over 100 people attended to partake in ice cream, yard games, and visits with the Sauk Rapids and Rice fire departments. Sheriff Troy Heck made an appearance at the town hall – one of seven neighborhood stops on his list that evening. Heck also made an appearance at the event hosted by Petra Evangelical Lutheran Church and School, located on First Avenue North in Sauk Rapids. The event included a hot dog meal, kids games and a bouncy house. Sauk Rapids Police Chief Perry Beise, Sauk Rapids Mayor Kurt Hunstiger and Sauk Rapids Com-

BRAHAM – East Central Energy board members came together Aug. 1 to honor former director Bob Kaeter by dedicating the Duelm substation in recognition of his nearly 40 years on the ECE Board of Directors. Kaeter was first elected to the board in 1979. Since then, the cooperative has grown by almost 40,000 members. Kaeter worked with nearly 50 different directors, and witnessed the birth of programs like Caring Members and
the implementation of Operation Round Up®. He has guided the coop through three ECE presidents, two mergers, the technology fears of Y2K, a name change, the building of new facilities, and the application of new metering equipment. “My wife, Bonnie, and I started our lives on farms without electricity, so you can imagine what electricity means to us,” Kaeter said. “East Central Energy expanded immensely during my tenure on the board.”
During the dedication ceremony, president and chief executive officer Steve Shurts offered words of praise and thanks for the contributions Kaeter made to the cooperative and its members. “Your guidance has played a pivotal role in the betterment of our members’ lives,” Shurts said. “With the dedication of this substation, your legacy now has a permanent place to reside.”
County approves lease for east St. Cloud offices Renovations, data connection to begin by September BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
FOLEY – Benton County is moving to St. Cloud – or, at least a portion of its services. The Benton County Board of Commissioners approved a lease agreement, remodel and data connection to the Eastgate complex in east St. Cloud at its Aug. 6 meeting. The county plans to house 25 health and human services department staff members at the location. Renovations should begin by September and the county aims to move into the property by Jan. 1, 2020. The move will not only alleviate space issues in Foley offices but will also hope to provide better accessibility to the west-residing county residents and employee retention. The county is entering into a five year lease on three office suites
housed in the Eastgate II and III buildings. County administrator Monty Headley said the county will begin paying $12 per square foot plus common area maintenance costs for roughly 6,000 square feet. Headley estimates the county will incur $249,052 in onetime costs and $220,111 in rent, utilities, services and other operating costs for the first year. Rental of the property as well as overhead will increase each year. Renovations to remodel the Eastgate III office space was awarded to Brian Johnston, of Commercial Building Maintenance, who has agreed to not exceed $99,049. The county will contract Johnston directly and not be paying building owner, Bob Abel, for the renovations. A private data connection from the office space to Foley county offices will be contracted
through Midco Business (Midcontinent Communications) for $500 startup and a monthly fee of $1,091. The county will be leasing a private fiber data communication and encrypting communication at both ends for added security. In other board news: - Approved allowing a grant application to be submitted to Benton Telecommunications for the purchase of a severe weather siren for Benton Beach park and campground. The estimated cost for the siren would be $21,600. A grant could provide up to half the cost. The county has earmarked funds donated by the disbanded St. Cloud area Radio Emergency Associated Communication Teams and Langola Township park dedication fees to provide the matched funds. - Roxanne Achman, department of development director, said the county hosted a meeting July 30 with Watab Township residents regarding the boundary commission. Achman reported that following
feedback the county was going to attempt to get more concrete answers on cost of the project. No surveying has started at this point. Some properties that have sufficient surveys and matching data may be dropped from the project. “Before we go anywhere with this there will be more communication with the neighbors in that area, and it is very likely we will be pulling out some of those properties,” Achman said. Achman said the surveyor and attorney was meeting later that afternoon to recap information. The county board recommended Chris Byrd, county engineer, also attend the meeting. The board also asked that the pin in the lake is found – regardless the source of payment – before the drawdown of Little Rock Lake ceases Sept. 14. - The County Road 55 from Gordon Bridge to 105th Street Northwest in Rice is slated to begin mid-September.
SAUK RAPIDS – Ethan Baker, of Sauk Rapids, has returned after fulfilling a two year mission in Columbia, South America for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Baker is a 2017 graduate of Sauk Rapids-Rice High School. Missionaries, like Baker, volunteer to serve wherever the church assigns them. They are required to learn the language if needed and immerse themselves in customs and culture. “I served in many large cities in Columbia like Cucuta and Bucaramanga,” Baker said. “There are a few wealthy families in these cities, but most people are very poor. We lived, ate and worked right with them, it was not uncommon to walk more than 10 miles a day as we taught and did service.”
Missionary duties typically include teaching people who are interested in joining the church, providing community service where they are assigned and working to strengthen local congregations. What impressed Baker most was the loving nature of the Columbians. “Everyone treated us like we were their best friends,” Baker said. “We were always welcomed into homes. Many times they had almost nothing to eat, but they would find something to feed us. It was an experience that made me more loving and compassionate toward others.” After their church missions, young men and women of the church return to a regular lifestyle, which often includes participating in post-secondary education. Baker will be attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah to pursue a degree in premed physiology. Baker was one of 67,000 men and women members of the church who are voluntarily serving missions throughout the world.

A public hearing to consider further amendments to the Benton County Retail Licensing Ordinance 298, amended by Ordinance 406, relating to the sale, possession, and use of tobacco, tobacco-related devices, electronic delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery products in the county, was opened at 9:06 AM. Nicole Ruhoff, Benton County Public Health Supervisor, spoke in support of the proposed ordinance on behalf of the Benton County Tobacco Committee. She noted that the recommendations in the ordinance are proven strategies to help reduce youth access (i.e. increased distance between retailers and schools from 300 feet to 500 feet; prohibiting sampling of tobacco products and price promotions; changing the minimum sales age from 18 years of age to 21 years of age). Speaking in support of the proposed ordinance were Summer Hagy (307 Scott Drive, Sartell, American Heart Association Youth Marketing), Shayne Kusler (Principal at Foley High School), Steve Wagner (413 5th Avenue East, Sartell, Assistant Principal at Sauk Rapids-Rice School), Jennifer Kenning (1308 5th Avenue North, Sauk Rapids, Licensed Alcohol/Drug Counselor for Sauk Rapids-Rice School District), Dr. David Tilstra (305 Rosewood Road, Sartell, CentraCare Health) and Alex Dusha (2551 Colony Circle, St. Cloud, Senior at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School). Ruhoff referenced the 14 letters of support received; Headley referenced the 29 postcards received in support of the proposed ordinance from Rice community members. With no one else wishing to address the Board, the public hearing was closed at 9:25 AM. Buerkle stated “...it would be better if we could get it statewide...I think this piecemeal approach, probably in our case, is symbolic at best since it doesn’t even cover half the county...it will just send business from out here into the parts of the county that aren’t covered by it...if there’s a way we can possibly get this message a little stronger to our state legislators, I think that would help quite a bit...I think when you are CITY OF RICE COUNTY OF BENTON STATE OF MINNESOTA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that on August 19, 2019 at 7PM at the Rice City Hall, 205 Main Street E, Rice, MN 56367 the City of Rice City Council (grantee) will hold a public hearing concerning submittal of a request to amend the Minnesota Investment Fund Grant Contract entered into between the City and the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development related to a grant issued under the Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF) program to benefit Hydrostat, Inc. The City loaned the proceeds of the grant to Hydrostat, Inc. The purpose of this public hearing is to satisfy the hearing requirement in Minnesota Statues 116J.994, subd. 6 and to hear from the public regarding the proposed one-year extension for Hydrostat, Inc. to meet the job and wage goals required to be met in the loan documents. The agreement proposed for extension relates to a $239,000 grant the City was awarded to assist with the expansion of Hydrostat, Inc. All interested parties are invited to attend the public hearing at which time you will be given the opportunity to express comments about the proposed extension of the compliance period. A person with residence in or the owner of taxable property in the City of Rice may file a written complaint with the City if the City fails to comply with Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.993 through 116J.995, and no action may be filed against the City for the failure to comply unless a written complaint is filed.

confronted with the data, it’s pretty hard not to go along with some of these things...” Heinen commented “...I really hope that everybody in the audience goes to the Sauk Rapids City Council and addresses that too...just remember, we can pass this ordinance county-wide, but all the cities that do their own licensing have got to step up to really make this work in the county...” Popp stated “...I think that maybe this will send a message to the cities within our county that they will look at this and say—if the county agrees to it, maybe the cities should get on board too...I think that us, as commissioners and leaders, could talk to our cities...” Bauerly stated “...I think Benton County shows leadership by doing this...it will send a message to cities and other counties...” Peschl commented “... it’s a start in the right direction...it’s going to make it a little more difficult to get it...” Peschl/Popp unanimous to adopt Ordinance Number 475, Benton County Retail Licensing Ordinance, amending Ordinance 298, amended by Ordinance 406, and authorize the Chair to sign. The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:29 AM to conduct a Human Services Board meeting. The Regular County Board meeting was reconvened at 9:35 AM. Roxanne Achman, Department of Development Director, explained that, over time, the Benton County Surveyor and Benton County Attorney’s Office have been contacted regarding boundary line issues (errors in legal descriptions) in certain parts of Watab Township; given the number of parcels that are affected by problem legal descriptions (85), the most cost effective way to remedy the situation is to establish a Boundary Commission to review the matters. Achman stated that the County Surveyor (Jay Wittstock) will work with each property owner, review deeds, and attempt to reach consensus of where the property lines are; the County Attorney’s Office has requested the assistance of David Meyers of Rinke Noonan for the research and other legal aspects of determining property boundaries. Achman stated that the typical Boundary Commission consists of five members—Planning Commissioners Scott Johnson, Art Buhs, Dan Gottwalt and Gerry Feld have agreed to serve on the Boundary Commission, along with Joe Scapanski from the Board of Equalization. She pointed out that once the survey is completed, property lines will be drawn up; if there is disagreement from a property owner, the Boundary Commission will attempt to resolve the matter—if there is still disagreement, the matter will go to the County Board--District Court would be the final authority in determining all disputes. Achman added that the court would issue its judgement in the form of a plat; Minnesota Statutes permit the County to assess part or all of the costs incurred against the benefited properties on a per parcel basis. She noted that, typically, this process will cost significantly less than if each property owner hired their own surveyor and attorney to do the work; a neighborhood meeting has been scheduled for July 30th at 4:30 PM at the Watab Town Hall. Achman stated plans to start this project in August in conjunction with the Little Rock Lake drawdown; Meyers has stated his hope to have this matter finalized by the end of the year. Achman commented that, generally, there is a per diem assigned for the Boundary Commission members; the County Board decides on an appropriate per diem. Following brief discussion, Board consensus to set a per diem of $100.00; there was also consensus of the Board that the word “shall” remain in the proposed resolution—“The Benton County Board of Commissioners shall assess all of the costs incurred against the benefited properties...” Buerkle/Popp unanimous to adopt Resolution 2019-#25, establishing a Boundary Commission, appointing the five members as noted, setting a per diem of $100.00, and authorize the Chair to sign the Resolution. Board members welcomed Nathan Bonzelet, one of Benton County’s new Engineering Technicians. Bonzelet reported that he has been working on road inspections, bridge design, surveying, and pavement inspection work. Byrd explained that CSAH 3 crosses the Elk River about 1.25 miles southwest of Popple Creek; staff has been monitoring the stream bank for erosion. He pointed out that, in recent months, the rate at which the bank is eroding has increased dramatically; staff has surveyed the stream bank this spring and believe that, if left alone, the bank will continue to erode and will compromise the CSAH 3 roadway and the bridge. Byrd stated that he has been in communication with Benton County SWCD to partner on a stream bank stabilization proj-

ect; SWCD is planning to apply for a grant to complete some bio- engineering solutions next year and there will be a local participation component (the idea is not to incur any costs for adjacent landowners). Byrd stated he may ask the Board for a letter of support for this grant funding in the future. Byrd presented a proposed agreement with WSB & Associates, noting that this agreement is needed so that WSB bridge inspector, Dan Flittie, can act as Benton County Bridge Team leader. He explained that, each year, a number of inservice bridges need to be inspected to be in compliance with National Bridge Safety Standards (the county is responsible for inspections of 110 bridges county-wide, including township bridges). Byrd pointed out that since the county does not have a Bridge Team Leader on staff, we need to seek professional services; WSB would allow county staff to accompany the Bridge Team Leader so that our staff can get that training. He noted that WSB was not the lowest bidder of the four proposals received; however, staff believes the county will receive high quality inspections and still be within the budgeted amount (budget was $50,000 and WSB will complete the inspections for a total fee of $34,800). Peschl/Popp unanimous to approve the Professional Services Agreement with WSB & Associates, and authorize the Chair to sign (agreement includes 100 bridge inspections due by February 15, 2020). Byrd reported that the bids for Project SAP 005-602016—CSAH 2 Reconstruction at the north end of Little Rock Lake—were opened July 12th; the lowest responsible bidder was Rice Contracting and Development Services with a bid of $983,856.20 (2.27% below Engineer’s Estimate). Byrd stated the plan to start the project on August 1st in conjunction with the Little Rock Lake drawdown. Popp/Heinen unanimous to award a construction contract for Project SAP 005-602-016 to Rice Contracting and Development Services and authorize the Chair to sign the contract (contingent upon the Little Rock Lake drawdown occurring). Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county. Peschl/Heinen unanimous to set Committees of the Whole: July 25, Benton Economic Partnership Quarterly Membership Meeting. Peschl/Heinen unanimous to conduct a closed meeting of the County Board (at 10:30 AM), as permitted under MN Statutes §13D.05, Subdivision 3(b), for attorney-client privilege discussion between the County Board and legal counsel.

Putting farm skills to the test Beauchamp wins county tractor driving contest BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Skills and knowledge were put to the test Aug. 1 as members of Benton County 4-H and area FFA groups competed in the annual tractor driving contest, which took place Aug. 1 in the grandstand pit area of the Benton County Fairgrounds in Sauk Rapids. “This has been an annual competition for at least 32 years,” said Al Stemper, Benton County Agricultural Society member and Foley FFA chapter advisor. “It has been a lot of fun watching the progress of the kids who have participated for a number of years and continue to get better. The older kids often give younger ones tips and ideas for how to do better, too.” Competitors are broken up into two divisions. The junior division encompasses ages 16 and younger. The senior division is ages 17 and above. Each yyear, Stemper p names top p performers, awarding them with ith a trophy and

He returned to the competition after placing third at state last year. “A score like his puts him very competitive with typical state scores, so I am excited to see what he can do there,” Stemper said. “It is also one of the best scores you will see at a county fair.” Sam Morris, Caleb Pozorski and Luke Gadacz came in second, third and fourth, respectively, in the FFA competition. While the 4-H division does not have a state-level competition, Stemper named the top placers in the junior and senior divisions – Blake Arnold and Clay Corrigan. “We had a great group of competitors who showed up and put in the work,” Stemper said. “That is one of the biggest challenges with this contest.

Chmielewskis named farm family of the year FOLEY — The Chmielewski family, which operates Stoney Brook Farms Inc. of Foley, are the recipients of the 2019 Benton County’s Farm Family of the Year award. Mark Chmielewski runs the farm with his wife, Pam, his son, Brad, and Brad’s wife, Ashley. The Farm Family Recognition Program has existed for over 30 years and honors farm families from throughout Minnesota for their contributions to the agriculture industry and their communities. All of the honored families are chosen by a county selection committee which looks for farm families that demonstrate commitment to enhancing and supporting agricul-
ture, agricultural production and their communities here in Minnesota. Stoney Brook Farms was purchased by Mark, the current chief executive officer, in 2006 from his mother, Shirley. His parents, Jerry and Shirley, owned Jerry’s Farmers Market in St. Cloud for nearly 30 years. The operation consists of over 800 acres; 600 acres are in vegetable production. Mark and his wife, Pam, operate a vegetable stand in St. Cloud, and create a corn maze and pumpkin patch for visitors in the fall. The family provides farm tours to area schools and daycare centers. Stoney Brook Farms was recognized as the 600th farm in the state to be certified by the Minnesota Ag Water Quality Certification Program. The family is involved with the farm

Participants were scored in each of the three reallife aspects based on performance and errors made, as well as completing the task within the 4-minute time frame. Anytime a safety feature was overlooked or equipment touched the boundaries, points were added. A low score is what participants aimed for. This year’s competitors were more experienced than Stemper has seen in the past. “Every one of the 15 participants live or work on a farm where they are practicing these skills daily,” Stemper said. “You don’t see a lot of that in a competition like this, but experience makes a big difference. They all know how to do these basic things and are in the stage of refining and fine tuning the skills they have. It is a major help for them.” PHOTOS BY ANNA HINKEMEYER Despite experience across the contest, Stemper Tanner Schreindl watches behind the tractor as he backs a four-wheel wagon into the noted everyone still learned and developed different bay area Aug. 1 in Sauk Rapids.

Reigning in athletics, community Ambassadors share love of sports BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Morgan Thompson, Anna Lucas and Kaeleigh Rainer had something in common even before they earned their Sauk Rapids Community Ambassador crowns. The three have each competed in various athletics at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School and feel it is an important part of who they are. During their reign, the ambassadors will continue to make athletics a part of who they are and use the lessons they have learned when representing Sauk Rapids. Morgan Thompson Thompson has been an athlete for most of her life. She started playing tennis at 8 years old, gymnastics at 5 years old and began competg in lacrosse during g her ing freshman year.
“I love being involved in all of my sports,” Thompson said. “They are all important to me, so I don’t have a hard time juggling them. I focus on one sport at a time depending on what is in season and take it one step at a time. I really like the team aspect, getting close to my teammates and creating a bond with them.” Thompson has been competing in the varsity lineups in each of her sports at SRRHS and has been named captain a couple times as well. “It is a true honor to be named captain and to have the other girls look up to me,” Thompson said. “I think the leadership skills I have developed will help me a lot during my year as ambassador.” Since her crowning, Thompson has been advocating to be a positive light in the community. “Positivity is important because it helps when you are in a role model position like this,” Thompson said. “EspePHOTO BY ANNA HINKEMEYER cially for the younger genera- Morgan Thompson (from left), Kaeleigh Rainer and Anna Lucas wait for customers in the Sauk Rapids tions, this is something I want Jaycees booth at the Benton County Fair July 30 in Sauk Rapids.

She was co-captain of the team last year as well, adding to her involvement. “My goal this year is to be more involved in the community,” Lucas said. “Being with my teammates has taught me how to get involved and be encouraging, as well as how important it is to be a good representative. That will certainly carry over into my reign as ambassador.” Kaeleigh Rainer Rainer has been a dancer for 15 years, beginning her passion at age 3. She competed with Just for Kix and competed with the SRRHS dance team from her eighth grade year through senior year last season. “We came together multiple times to do great things on the dance floor,” Rainer said. “My team and I felt really accomplished making it to state in my eighth grade year and last year. We never gave up and it showed.” Since graduation, Rainer has spent time teaching and coaching dance to younger kids. “I want to be a person they can look up to,” Rainer said. “Now that I am an ambassador, I want to be the same for other kids in the community. I am extremely excited for the year ahead and the journey I get to be on. I want to show Sauk Rapids what it takes to be a good citizen and representative of what the city stands for.”

Get ready for deer season 2019 regulation book online, licenses available ST. PAUL – Hunters can start planning ahead for significant changes to deer season regulations, including a youth deer season that is expanded statewide, expanded deer feeding and attractant bans, and other updates related to managing chronic wasting disease. “We heard a lot of support for a statewide youth deer hunting season,” said Barbara Keller, big game program leader for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “We’re excited to make it easier for parents, relatives or trusted adults to share their hunting knowledge and traditions with the next generation of deer hunters.” The 2019 Minnesota Hunting and Trapping regulations handbook is now available on the DNR’s deer hunting page at https://mndnr. gov/hunting/deer. Hunting licenses went on sale Aug. 1 and are available at any DNR license agent by telephone at 888-6466367 or online at https://
mndnr.gov/buyalicense. The dedicated, statewide youth season runs from Oct. 17 through Oct. 20, for youth hunters ages 10-17. In the past, the youth season was only available in the southeast, northwest and Twin Cities metro permit areas. Other significant changes this year include regulations that reflect the DNR’s response to chronic wasting disease. In addition to hunters, all Minnesotans in central and southeast Minnesota
should pay close attention to the deer feeding and attractant ban rule. The area where deer feeding and using deer attractants is prohibited will expand starting Sept. 1, in areas of central and southeast Minnesota where CWD was detected in farmed or wild deer. Feeding and attractants increase the risk of disease transmission between animals by bringing them together in close contact, which is a mechanism for CWD spread. There are several changes to deer permit area numbering this year that will clarify where CWD management and

surveillance occurs. Deer permit areas within a CWD management zone, in southeast and northcentral Minnesota, will now be part of a 600-series permit area. The metro deer permit area will be renamed to 701 from 601. The DNR is, as in previous years, enforcing carcass movement restrictions to limit the spread of disease. Hunters will also need to be aware of mandatory sampling during all deer seasons in the CWD management zones (southeast and north-central), and over the opening weekend of the firearms season in the CWD control zone (southeast, bordering the CWD management zone) and in surveillance areas (central). Full details about CWD sampling, including sampling locations, carcass movement restrictions, and management and control zones are available at https:// mndnr.gov/cwd.

Arráez making presence felt with Twins Luis Arráez, a 22-year-old utility player that was not ranked among the top 30 prospects in the Twins organization by MLB.com heading into the 2019 season, has by ANDY THAYER played himself into a Sports Columnist starting role on a team with a 70-43 record. Arráez, whose preternatural hit tool and defensive versatility has made him indispensable for a Twins team that cannot seem to ever get fully healthy, has seized his opportunity and is now an everyday player for a team with 97.8% odds of making the postseason. Arráez, who had not played above the AA level before this season, is slashing .348/.419/.433 in 164 big league at-bats. That is patently absurd for anyone, much less a rookie. His .419 on-base percentage leads the team by 30 percentage points, and his 1.43 BB/K rate more than doubles that of anyone else on the team. It is clear his hand-eye coordination is no fluke, and I cannot get enough of the team’s giddy announcers sheepishly comparing his ability to fight off good pitches and flip mistakes into the outfield grass to what Rod Carew used to do back in his heyday. Obviously, comparisons to a hall-of-famer like Carew are a bit premature; however, there is clearly something special about Arráez’s approach to hitting. Arráez is another huge success for the Twins’ international scouting team, who signed him out of Venezuela in late 2013. It is no secret international scouting is one of the biggest keys to success for MLB organizations, and the Twins have done an excellent job of putting their pool of international signing money to good use over the past decade. Jorge Polanco, Max Kepler and Miguel Sanó were all signed by the Twins, and their strong scouting in Puerto Rico helped them identify Eddie Rosario and José Berríos as draft targets. The Twins do not spend significant money to sign major league free agents, so their ability to identify young international players and sign them to club-friendly deals is the team’s lifeblood and the real reason why the Twins are competitive despite their embarrassingly low payroll to revenue ratio. Arráez has played so well the Twins have no choice but to keep him in their lineup. Jonathan Schoop, who started the season hot and has legitimate power for a second baseman, is simply too streaky to merit benching Arráez. With Byron Buxton on the injured list for what projects to be an extended period of time with a shoulder injury, there should be opportunities for Arráez to play the corner outfield slots or third base when coach Rocco Baldelli wants to get Schoop some at-bats. As we have seen with Arráez, Marwin Gonzalez and Ehire Adrianza this year, defensive versatility is an incredibly useful trait for players to develop, and it helps teams maintain flexibility and depth when injuries occur. I have read some pretty credible scuttlebutt that opposing teams were focused on acquiring Arráez in most trade deadline deals the Twins were trying to make, and that provides further proof that this is not a fluke and his impact is being noticed by the league at large. It is one thing for Dick Bremer to say a guy’s swing reminds him of Carew; it is another thing for Arizona Diamondbacks’ general manager Mike Hazen to insist he gets Luis Arráez back in a potential deadline deal for Zack Greinke. For a player who was not on the radar of most prospect hounds coming into this season, Luis Arráez has come out of nowhere and made his presence felt in a very significant way. He paid his dues and honed his craft as a hitter, made himself a versatile defender, and now he is a cornerstone player for a team that looks like a perennial playoff contender. That is the kind of success story anyone can appreciate.

SAUK RAPIDS – The Granite City Speedway in Sauk Rapids hosted its annual backpack giveaway night Aug. 4 with a full slate of WISSOTA racing action on tap in the five regular weekly divisions. Brother and sister Brandon and Ashley Mehrwerth shared the front row for the midwest modified feature to kick off the five main events on the night. Ashley Mehrwerth got the jump from the outside of the front row and led the first 13 laps of the 15-lap event with Travis Schulte hot on her heels. Ashley Mehrwerth and Schulte battled nose to tail for the entire event. Schulte stole the lead with only a pair of laps to go and led the final two circuits to pick up the win. Ashley Mehrwerth crossed the line second with Brandon Mehrwerth third. Mark ‘Bud’ Martini and Matt Baker rounded out the top five, respectively. Corey Mehrwerth came out on top of a thriller hornet feature after starting seventh on the field. Zachery Schreder led the first several laps from the pole with Justin Schelitzche hot on his heels. Corey Mehrwerth moved to the middle grove on the speedway and began to pressure the leaders while gaining ground lap after lap. Corey Mehrwerth used the higher line to his advantage and swooped by Schelitzche and Schreder into the top spot which he held to the checkered flag. Schelitzche ran second with Grayson Pratt third, Daniel Harstad fourth. Schreder hung on for a top five finish. Seventh starting Dave Mass roared through the field to race to the super stock victory in fine fashion over eighth starting Kevin Burdick. The duo, who both started in the fourth row, charged through the pack together with Mass getting out front first. A pair of late race restarts gave second running Dexton Koch and Burdick two shots at the leader, but Mass withstood the pressure and held off for the win. Burdick finished second; Koch third. Josh Zimpel ran fourth, and Kevin
Schmidt capped off the top five. Dean Larson and Dustin Holtquist sat on row one for the mod four main event and battled out front during the early stages before Dustin Holtquist pulled to a several car length lead. Jamie Flickinger, Keith Thell, Justin Pogones and Bob Holtquist were in a four car battle for third while the top two began to stretch the lead. A late race caution bunched the field and allowed the pack to stay close at the end, but Dustin Holtquist held off Larson over the final two circuits to claim the win, Flickinger came into the line in third before Thell, and Bob Holtquist crossed for fifth. A pair of teenagers paced the modified feature field to the green with Taton Hansen and Tyler Kaeter sitting on row one. Kaeter jumped to the lead with Danny Vang quickly moving in to pressure Hansen for the runner up spot early in the race. Kaeter survived a pair of cautions, which kept the pack on his heels, but he blasted back out front on each occasion to run away for the 20-lap feature win. Vang ran a close second at the end with Denis Czech, Clayton Wagamon and Dave Cain rounding out the top five after a battle behind the leaders for much of the race.
