Sauk aukk Rapids-Rice R d R graduate earns private pilot license BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – For many, traveling is over the road, by train, boat or onboard a commercial airline flight. For Kjerstin Haeny, traveling has taken another form, one far more personal. Haeny, a 2019 graduate of Sauk Rapids-Rice High School, earned her private pilot license July 2 after working toward the achievement since December 2017. “I am really excited to have it and to be able to take other people up with me besides the instructors or my dad,” Haeny said. “I have wanted to get my license since eighth grade, so I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.” Haeny’s motivation comes from her dad, Rick Novak, who is a pilot for Southwest Airlines Co. “I grew up flying with my dad,” Haeny said. “I have been flying on commercial planes for as long as I can remember, and I started flying on the small planes with him when I was 10. I enjoy flying so much, and I know I have gotten to travel more than most kids get to because of my dad and his job.” Haeny was often onboard flights where her dad was the pilot. “At a younger age, it was always weird to hear my dad’s voice over the intercom,” Haeny

Restoration projects ramp up as drawdown approaches Emergent plants available through Little Rock Lake Association BY NATASHA BARBER | STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – With less than three weeks before a drop-in water level begins, area residents are gearing up for shoreline restoration. A drawdown of Little Rock Lake, the Harris Channel and Sartell Pool of the Mississippi River is slated to begin Aug. 1 with the intent of increasing water clarity and quality, shoreline stability, and fish and wildlife habitat. It will take roughly 30 hours to reduce water levels by approximately 3 feet and when the water recedes, community members will be ready to take action. “They’re starting the drawdown Thursday morning,” said Maureen Graber, Little Rock Lake Association member volunteer and University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener. “They are going to start delivering the plants to the Lakeview Center at Benton Beach Friday morning (Aug. 2).” The drawdown has been a topic of discussion for over seven years; it was slated for 2018, but miscommunication delayed the project until now. Following a severe blue-green algae bloom in summer 2007, Little Rock Lake was added to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s impaired waters list and multiple agencies began assessing what

Haeny from front said. “As I got older, it got more and more inspiring. It’s because of him that I have not thought about any other career since eighth grade. I knew I wanted to be just like my dad.” Starting in the fall, Haeny will be pursuing a degree in aviation at Minnesota State UniversityMankato. She hopes to become a commercial pilot and fly for Delta Air Lines Inc. “My dad flies for Southwest and mainly flies Boeing 737 planes,” Haeny said. “Delta has many different planes in their fleet, and I want to be able to have the experience of flying different planes instead of the Boeing 737 all the time.” Haeny enjoys flying the Cessna 152, a twoseater used for flight training and personal use. “It’s the plane I feel most comfortable in,” Haeny said. “It is really little, fun and easy to maneuver.” Throughout her flight training, Haeny was required to fly over 150 nautical miles on her own. She has been flying solo since Feb. 12. The longest trips included flying over Akin, Ely and a trip from Granite Falls to Willmar and back. Now that she has her license, she hopes to make trips to other states and have people in the plane
Little Rock Lake from front could be done to improve the water. Watershed land owners and agricultural operations implemented best management practices and have reduced the external loading of phosphorus by over 2,500 pounds per year. Now, the drawdown is intended to reduce the lake’s internal loading problems by establishing plant life in shallow areas of the lake. “They are called emergent plants, and we say they have wet feet and they keep their heads above the water,” Graber said. “We are going to plant them in the sand after the water goes down. We’ll have property owners mark where 1 foot deep is now with stakes and when the water goes down, we’re going to plant 1 foot deep toward the shore. … These are the plants that are going to uptake all those nutrients and, hopefully, clear

Haeny flew the Cessna 152 and took her friends up for
about one hour each. “I was very excited to take them up,” Haeny said. “We didn’t have any real destination in mind, so we flew over their houses or wherever else they wanted to see.” Now that Haeny has spent so much time, money and effort on obtaining her private pilot license, she hopes to fly more often and with more people. As
she works toward becoming a commercial pilot, she knows her dad is there to support her. “I don’t know how I would do all of this without my dad,” Haeny said. “I have always been able to call him with any questions.

the water.” According to Graber, the plant species were selected by Eric Altena, area fisheries supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and lake resident who has been heavily involved in drawdown preparations. The more than 45,000 plants to be delivered to the Little Rock Lake Association and DNR include pickerel weed, bulrush, burreed and sweet flag. The DNR has established acreage where they will restore vegetation, but shoreline homeowners are also invited to partake in the project. Graber, who is in charge of dividing the LRLA plant order, has 50 property owners claiming a portion of 730 plant flats. She said plants are still available and people need only to contact her to receive their DNR permit, instructions and be added to the list. The plants have been purchased with grant funds from Minnesota Native Landscapes, Inc., of Otsego. “The grant pays for
90 percent, so each plant is 95 cents a plant,” Graber said. “It’s $34.20 per tray with 36 plants per tray. If the people are current lake association members, they only pay 10%, which is $3.42 for 36 plants which is really a good deal.” Graber said plants are also available to non lake association members; they will pay $8.55 per tray or can consider becoming a LRLA mem-
ber to reduce their cost. Those receiving plants are required to pick up their share from 3-6 p.m. Aug. 2. People planting are encouraged to track labor hours to be used toward the drawdown grants’ in-kind match. Extension Master Gardeners will be available to teach people how to plant the species, but labor volunteers are limited. The plants are rec-

ommended to be planted within the first days of the drawdown while the soil is still moist from the lowered level. All plants should be sowed by the afternoon of Aug. 4. “They’ll be planting in the sand or the muck or the green stuff that dries up,” Graber said. “I’ve been recommending rubber boots.” Although the restoration project may not be one of the most glamor-
ous jobs volunteers will have this summer, the hope is the end result is a clearer lake. “I’m very excited about this,” Graber said. The LRLA annual meeting and picnic begins at 10 a.m. July 27. Graber can be contacted by calling 320-282-7113 or emailing maureengraber@gmail.com.

Summerland provides family entertainment in Minden Township BY ANNA HINKEMEYER | STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – When Summerland Family Fun Park opened in July 1985, it was an area destination many families came to. The park was the only one in the area with a waterslide, and they offered a nine hole mini golf course and go kart track as well. “A friend had taken his kids to the waterslide in Spicer and raved about the waterslide,” said Wayne Swenson, owner of Summerland, located at 1050 28th Ave. N.E. “I got the idea for the park from that.” Since then, the park has grown with new additions and features. “We want to give families a great experience when they come out here,” Swenson said. “This is a place people come to when they want to make memories, and we strive to offer them as much as we possibly can.” When the weather is warm and sunny, Summerland welcomes an average of 300 guests each day. The location where Summerland has resided for 34 years was a third-time-is-the-charm-scenario. Swenson’s friend owned land on the west side of Waite Park near Fleet Farm retail store. When Swenson was going through the process to obtain the commercial use permit needed for the business, area residents expressed opposition. The second pick for the location was off Highway 10 near where Sysco (formerly Appert’s Foodservice) is today. When Swenson approached Jack Appert with the idea, he did not want an amusement park close to his property, and Swenson was left scrambling again. “By this time, news had traveled about us trying to get a location,” Swenson said. “When we applied for our current spot, the residents showed opposition again, but the president of the chamber of commerce believed in us and stood up in support. It’s because of his support that we finally got our location and the per-

mits we needed to do business here.” After over 30 years in business, Swenson feels the park offers more than ever before, but he still has expansion in mind. “I want to either add a speed track for go karts, an artificial snow tube run or a swimming pool,” Swenson said. “I am incredibly excited for another track or the snow tube run and would rather have one of those than a swimming pool.” The park has two 18 hole mini golf courses, batting cages, bumper boats and three go kart tracks to date. Even the original mini golf course and go kart track have changed. The mini golf course was upgraded to 18 holes and the go kart track was extended from 700 feet to 1,000. The waterslide remains as it did when Swenson first opened the park. “When people are here, the waterslide does get
used, but not like it did when we first opened,” Swenson said. “The slide was extremely busy for the first 15 years we were in business, but waterslides have become so popular and now there are so many indoor waterslides to enjoy year-round that it isn’t one of the big reasons people come to the park anymore. They come for all of the other things we have added.” The newest addition to the park is a slick track for go karts, which was added in July 2017. Swenson is excited for the future of the park and to begin thinking more about the projects for the undeveloped 10 acres on site. “We have been providing needed entertainment for families and constantly striving to do our best,” Swenson said. “Our park is nothing like anything else in the St. Cloud area and our improvements and additions have made it that much better.”

Now is the time to schedule National Night Out Officials planning visits BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Sauk Rapids officials reminded residents July 8 they are seeking invitations to neighborhood celebrations of National Night Out. National Night Out takes place each year on the first Tuesday in August with the intent to build community and police-public relationships. This year festivities fall on the evening of Aug. 6. “We’re looking for neighborhood parties on Aug. 6 to come visit the citizens of our city,” said Perry Beise, Sauk Rapids Chief of Police. “If you
know of somebody who would like a police officer, the mayor, the fire department or the sheriff to come out and visit, we are out that night visiting neighborhoods and block parties.” Mayor Kurt Hunstiger invited the rest of the council members to participate and said there was a possibility that Benton County Commissioner Steve Heinen may join. Beise said one church was scheduled for National Night Out at this point, and that his staff was planning on reaching out to those neighborhoods they visited in 2018.
In other council news: - Approved the purchase of 76 banners at a cost of $10,064.38. The rectangle and triangle banners will have the city’s updated logo and the word welcome on them. They will be placed at the roundabouts along Benton County State Aid Highway 3 (Second Street North and Golden Spike Road Northeast) and the Sauk Rapids Regional Bridge. The contract is through Marla Elness Design, of Sauk Rapids. The banners will be paid for by sales tax revenue.

OBITUARY Martin A. Reker
Mass of Christian Burial took place at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, July 11 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sauk Rapids for Martin “Marty” A. Reker, age 55, who passed away July 4 at the St. Cloud Hospital. The Rev. Ralph Zimmerman presided and burial will be at Assumption Cemetery in St. Cloud at a later date. Visitation was from 4-8 p.m. Wednesday and one hour prior to services Thursday both at Sacred Heart Church. Parish prayers began at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Arrangements have been entrusted to Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Home of Sauk Rapids. Marty was born Jan. 7, 1964, in St. Cloud to Frederick “Fred” and Rita (Bechtold) Reker. On July 3, 1982, he married the love of his life, Karen (Erpelding), at the age of 18. Marty was a practical individual gifted with a natural productive drive, a willingness to take risks, and exceptional financial finesse. At the age of 23, Marty established Reker Construction Inc. with his uncle Butch Bechtold. Together they built over 1,000 homes. They also built, owned, and operated Grandview Apartments in Sartell. As accomplished in his career as he was, Marty’s true pride was his family. He was an extraordinarily supportive, encouraging, and devoted husband, father, uncle, and grandfather. As a businessman and friend to many, Marty was both humble and respectful to everyone he encountered. Marty and Karen have lived in the city of Rice for the past 26 years in three separate homes along the Mississippi River that Marty designed and constructed himself. Marty was a devout member of Sacred Heart Church and his Catholic faith provided the foundation on which he structured his life. He was a member of the Central Minnesota Builders Association, Sauk Rapids Knights of Columbus Council 11346, and was involved in numerous charitable institutions and endeavors. He was a passionate bicyclist and took great pleasure in boating, hunting, fishing, traveling and playing card games. Marty was ambitious, eternally optimistic and

wise. He was an excellent listener, yet also a leader whom many turned to for advice. Marty was quick-witted, remarkably generous, welcoming and had a great sense of humor. He was exceptionally attentive, caring and helpful to those he loved. He was an all-around people-person and simply loved life. Marty spent a significant amount of oneon-one time with each of his children. A few fond memories include playing Monopoly with his son Chad, fishing with his daughter Katrina, and taking his daughter Caitlin on long motorcycle rides as a young child. Chad also has special memories of table tennis tournaments and flying out to Illinois together to purchase his first sports car. Katrina is particularly grateful for Marty’s spontaneous visits to spend time with her and his grandchildren. Caitlin enjoyed going out to eat with her father and playing many games of cribbage. Survivors include his wife, Karen of Rice; children, Chad Reker of Eden Prairie, Katrina (Daniel) Bogart of Sartell, and Caitlin Reker of Rice; mother, Rita of St. Cloud; siblings, Betsy (Jim) Westerhoff of Cold Spring, Matthew Reker of St. Cloud, and Leah (Dave) Wunderlich of Owatonna; grandsons, Joseph, Jacob, and baby on the way, Samuel Bogart; and nieces, nephews, godchildren, and many other family members. Marty was preceded in death by his father, Fred; sisters, Mary and Susanne Reker; and father and mother-in-law, Paul and Janet Erpelding. The family would like to thank the nurses on Medical 1 Unit 5th floor at the St. Cloud Hospital who cared for Marty before his passing. Memorials are preferred to Place of Hope and Elevate Pregnancy and Family Resource Center (formerly Birthline). Obituary, guestbook, and video tribute available online: www. williamsdingmann.com.

I have, only later to learn that it may have been the larva of a spotted wing drosophila. It is safe to BY LINDA G. eat fruit infested with SWD TENNESON eggs or larvae but not appealGreen and ing. Growing in The SWD is a small inva- Benton County sive fruit fly that attacks raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, cherries, plums and grapes. It is only one-twelfth inch to one-eighth inch long, yellowish brown in color with dark colored bands on the abdomen and red eyes. The male fly has spots on its wings which is where the name comes from. SWD appear in late June or early July with the adult flies laying their eggs by inserting them into soft or developing fruit. The larvae eat the fruit and later pupate and emerge as adults. Several generations of SWD can live in one year, and there is evidence that the fly may be able to survive our winters. Fruit that appears unblemished may have larvae crawling out of it when the fruit is stored at room temperature. Infected fruit may also have tiny holes that leak juice when handled. Fruit with only a minor amount of larvae may be turned into wine or jelly since the larvae are screened out during the juice making process; however, a large SWD infestation would make the fruit useless. Infected fruit should be placed in sealed bags and placed in the garbage instead of a compost pile because the SWD may survive the compost pile’s heat. SWD eggs will not hatch, or larvae will be stopped from further development by cooling the fruit to freezing or near freezing temperatures immediately after picking it. Fruit may be checked for SWD infestation by immersing it in a solution of 1 tablespoon of table salt per 1 cup of water. This will cause the larvae to float to the surface. Cultural controls include covering the fruit with a fine 80-gram insect netting or floating row cover. Timing is important because the fruit needs to be exposed to pollinators early in the season and only covered right before SWD are anticipated. The exception to this is for raspberries because they are wind rather than bee pollinated. If a cover is used, remove it for the shortest time possible for picking the fruit because the SWD could fly in at the same time. Fruit trees should be pruned to maintain open canopies because SWD do not like sunlight and low humidity. While not scientifically proven, there are stories of gardeners who try and attract hummingbirds to their yards because the hummingbirds will eat SWD and keep the fruit free of infestation. Insecticides are available for spraying on the fruit shrubs or trees, but follow all label directions regarding the application and the time that must elapse before the fruit can be harvested. Insecticides should be used with care and in the evening to avoid killing desired insects such as honeybees. The University of Minnesota Extension has detailed information on controlling this fruit pest at https://www.extension.umn.edu/yard-and-gardeninsects/spotted-wing-drosophila. Plus, the websites of several neighboring states also have information of the SWD. Linda G. Tenneson is a University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener and Tree Care Advisor.

Anything but traditional Schlaghecks’ showroom inspires homeowners to live their dream BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
ST. CLOUD – Ken and Pam Schlagheck have built their business by helping customers achieve a home they love. “We like to say we help people get their dream home,” Pam said. “Whether they are remodeling or building new, we like to see them from start to finish.” Owners of Traditional Floors & Design Center on Highway 23 in east St. Cloud, the Schlaghecks, of Sauk Rapids, pride themselves on the 13,000 square foot showroom which displays home material options such as flooring, Cambria countertops, plumbing fixtures and more. The design center, as it is called, allows clients to touch and feel the products sold at the store before incorporating them

into a permanent space. People can view over 150 patterns of Cambria quartz countertops, look at backsplash options and draw inspiration from the everrotating 25 rooms on display. “Nobody has a showroom like we have,” said Pam, head designer. “… Every year we redo one to three rooms to give the

showroom a fresh look. I like to say we are the Cabela’s of floor covering. People get to see the vision. They get to see the floors. They get to see how patterns work out in different spaces.” Traditional Floors & Design Center is a family owned and operated business that spans three generations. Ken has the most experience in the trade. He worked for his father, Orville, at Granite City Floor Covering for 24 years. After the untimely death of Pam’s first husband in 1999, Pam and Ken’s five eldest children attended Tech High School in St. Cloud together. Two of the boys thought it would be a good idea for their parents to go on a date. The rest is history. “We have blended two families,” said Pam, who as a child helped her father in his cabinetry shop. Ken owned vacant property in east St. Cloud. Hoping to sell the prop-
erty, Ken and Pam approached Benton County about getting the parcel rezoned from agricultural to commercial. “They asked us what we wanted to do with the property, and all of a sudden Ken said we wanted to build a floor covering store,” Pam said. “As we walked out of the building, we looked at each other and said, ‘It looks like we are building a store.’” Pam soon pooled resources with Ken to create the interior design business. The building was constructed in 2001, and the two wed in 2002. “We pooled our money and needless to say Traditional Floors was built,” Pam said. “It’s amazing when the right person comes along, how much two people can make happen.” The business blossomed with an expansion in 2006 and the addition of their children as employees over time. Although all of the children have worked for the business at one point,
today, daughters Christy Kipf, Abby Laudenbach and Anna Winczewski are employed full time as design consultants. As customers enter the doors of the business, the girls greet them and help them begin their plans. Pam is the head designer and offers in-home visits to assess existing space and help people attain their dream home.
Ken is the anchor of the family business and keeps all operations running smoothly. Pam said when helping homeowners, the designers do not hold back creative and lavish ideas but do offer each customer less extravagant alternatives that will accomplish the look clients are hoping for. In addition to supplying materials, staff can assist with connecting homeowners and subcontractors or with teaching installation techniques for those who choose to do-it-yourself. Hundreds of vendors line the inside of the Schlaghecks’ showroom, and Pam welcomes customers to visit the business multiple times before deciding on materials. “Customers come back two or three times before they decide what they would like to do because the rooms alone are a lot to look at,” Pam said. “The length of time it takes someone to choose an item depends on the person, but the end intent is for someone to love their space. That’s really what you want.”

Boser, of Inventure Properties of St. Cloud, was an instrumental figure in navigating the various processes on behalf of Toppan Merrill, from initial discussions with Sartell to accepting bid estimates from contractors. “As owner’s representative, we made a commitment to the city of Sartell and Toppan Merrill,” Boser said. “Toppan Merrill has been a strong central Minnesota employer since 1994 with the capacity to grow. We wanted to make sure we helped facilitate that growth and not lose that growth and those jobs to another state.” In early 2019, DEED commissioner Steve Grove recognized a milestone had been reached of over 30 Japanese-owned companies in Minnesota.

ST. PAUL – Toppan Merrill announced in June its plans for a 70,000 square foot expansion to its Sartell facility. The expansion will allow Toppan Merrill to increase efficiency and capacity to support an expanding customer base and add jobs in the community. The expansion is slated to be completed in spring 2020. “We are excited to announce this expansion of our Sartell facility as it represents our growth and expansion into new markets,” said Jeff Riback, president of Toppan Merrill. “It also underscores Toppan Merrill’s ongoing commitment to our workforce and this community. Both have been and continue to be outstanding partners in our growth.” Toppan Merrill’s parent company, Toppan Leefung Pte. Ltd., is expecting to invest $6 million over the course of the expansion project that will include
13,500 square feet of office space and 56,375 square feet of additional warehouse and production space into the existing 100,000 square foot building. To support its ongoing growth strategy, Toppan Merrill was strategically looking at options to combine the activities performed in the St. Cloud facility into the Sartell or Grove City facilities. “The support of the city of Sartell and Minnesota DEED (Department of Employment and Economic Development) was instrumental in the decision to expand the Sartell facility and receiving the required approvals to move forward,” said Mike Zimny, director of fulfillment services. Anita Archambeau, community development director for Sartell, said it was important to the city to keep the facility in Minnesota. “We worked tirelessly with our partners at the Department of Employment and Economic Development and with Inventure Properties to

Blood emergency: Red Cross issues urgent call for donors Less than three-day supply of most types available ST. PAUL — Following a difficult Fourth of July week for blood and platelet donations and ongoing challenges finding new donors, the American Red Cross now faces a blood shortage and has issued an emergency call for eligible individuals of all blood types to give now and prevent delays in medical care. About 450 fewer

St. Germain St., St. Cloud.
blood drives were organized by businesses and other community groups last week than during a
typical week as people across the country celebrated the holiday with activities and travel. This
led to about 17,000 fewer blood donations than needed for patients in a single week, causing the
Red Cross to have less than a three-day supply of most blood types available and less than a two-day supply of type O blood. At least a fiveday supply is desired. “Medical emergencies and critical treatments don’t stop for holiday celebrations,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president of Red Cross Blood Services. “Patients depend on lifesaving blood transfusions every day. … To help meet this need, we’ve added about 8,000 additional appointments at blood donation centers and community blood
drives over the next few weeks to accommodate more donors. But, we need people to fill those appointments. Please join us today.” Donors of all blood types, especially type O, are urged to make an appointment to donate at https://www.redcrossblood.org or by calling 1-800-733-2767. Those interested in hosting a blood drive can learn more and sign up to sponsor a drive this summer by visiting https:// www.redcrossblood.org/ hostadrive.

Mid-Minnesota Mutual Insurance celebrates 125 years Company has roots in rural Benton County BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – In a changing world of coverage and protection, Mid-Minnesota Mutual Insurance has stood the test of time. The company, located in Sartell, is celebrating 125 years. “There is a lot of pride and integrity in what we do,” said Carol Maciej, manager of the business. “It is incredible to represent a company with that amount of longevity.” Mid-Minnesota Mutual Insurance was not always in its current location, and today the business represents a merger of three former companies: Graham Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Wakefield Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company and Glendorado Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company. “(In 1990), we became Mid-Minnesota Mutual Insurance,” Ma-

Carol Maciej holds an annual report from the Glendorado Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance annual meeting in 1900 in Sartell July 11.

across the countryside to collect dividends. Anyone who suffered a loss received two-thirds of that amount from the insurance company. “It was difficult, sometimes impossible, to obtain insurance for a rural property back in those times,” Maciej
said. “There was a lack for adequate fire protection and a constant shortage of funds, especially if something happened. Having this mutual insurance created was a sense of security, and people who participated knew their neighbors were there for them.” Today, Mid-Minnesota Mutual Insurance operates with similar principles, and its main focus remains on farms and rural properties. The company has 4,500 policyholders, writes approximately $2.4 million in premiums and has over $11 million in assets across 18 counties. “We started in a rural setting, so maintaining that is important to us,” Maciej said. “We can legally do business in any city in the 18 counties we do business in, but most of our policyholders are still in the rural areas of the counties.” Much of their urban business comes from policyholders who were rural property or farm owners at one time. As the insurance industry has changed over 125 years, Mid-Minnesota Mutual Insurance has maintained its founding values. It op-

Sauk Rapids teen nearly drowns in Warner Lake ST. CLOUD – A Sauk Rapids teen is alive thanks to help from his brother and emergency responders. According to the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office, Ryan Gordon, 17, was swimming with friends and family on tubes at Warner Lake in Clearwater July 3. Gordon and his 21-year-old brother Antonio Costantino, of Sauk Rapids, decided to swim to shore. While swimming Gordon told his brother he could not make it farther. Gordon’s face was turning blue, and he went below the surface. Constantino grabbed Gordan and swam back to shore; Gordan was unresponsive with shallow breathing. Family members and citizens administered first aid until Clearwater Fire and Rescue arrived and took over. It is believed that Gordon had an asthma attack while swimming to shore. Mayo Clinic Am-

Our agents take in the premiums and write out the checks, too, which we find is something our clients value.” When township mutual insurance companies were formed, the companies assessed policyholders after losses. However, Mid-Minnesota Mutual Insurance prides themselves on not assessing their policyholders since the Great Depression. “We made that change long ago because we felt it was not necessary to assess our policyholders,” Maciej said. “As we have grown, I

All ages help with clothing camp Benton County 4-H hosts annual project day BY ANN OLSON Benton County 4-H program coordinator
FOLEY – “I learned to sew when I was a young boy,” Stan Zink said. “Today I will see how much I can help her make a pillow.” Zink attended the Benton County 4-H Clothing Camp June 16 with his granddaughter Brenda Wiley, of Foley. The home economics committee, volunteers and ambassadors hosted the annual clothing camp at First Presbyterian Church in Foley. Fifteen 4-H members were busy sewing to make their own creations which will be featured at the Benton County Fair. This year the youth made a nine-patch decorative pillow while working to improve sewing skills. Sarah Dahler, committee member, led the youth event.

SAUK RAPIDS – Sauk Rapids residents have the opportunity to put themselves in officers’ shoes this fall. The police departments of St. Cloud, St. Joseph, Sartell, Sauk Rapids and Waite Park are accepting applications for the fall class of the Metro Citizens Police Academy. Sauk Rapids Chief of Police Perry Beise announced the need for applications at the Sauk Rapids City Council meeting July 8. The Metro Citizens Police Academy is an eight-week course offered to citizens and members of civic and governmental organizations. Beise said the five departments host up to 30
candidates each year in a program. Participants are given the opportunity to experience first-hand areas of police training. The classes offered closely parallel the training curriculum that police officer candidates experience. It is imperative participants understand that the academy is solely informative and in no way trains or promotes citizens to act in a law enforcement capacity. Departments are seeking a diverse group of applicants who have questions specific to police procedures involving use and application of force, law enforcement training and arrest procedures. Citizens desiring a better understanding of law enforcement and the difficult police related issues that have arisen across the country are encouraged to ap-

Continuing the win streak Post 254 victorious over Cold Spring BY ANNA HINKEMEYER | STAFF WRITER
Early runs and a competitive defense were the keys to yet another win for Post 254 as they hosted Cold Spring July 8 at Bob Cross Park in Sauk Rapids, extending their win streak to five games. The team was scheduled to play July 9 in a road game against Buffalo, but the game was canceled due to weather. Post 254 heads into its final week of regular season competition with a 9-2 record as they host the St. Cloud Chutes at 7 p.m. Monday, July 15 and competes at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 16 in Foley. Cold Spring has been a tough contender for Sauk Rapids, and the July 8 game was no different. Sauk Rapids triumphed 3-2. Post 254 started with a run off a fly ball to right field from Connor Hemker in the bottom of the second, bringing Brady Pesta home. The third inning was full of momentum as Cole Fuecker started off the inning with a home run to left field and ended the inning with Trygve Hanson scoring off a Connor Hemker pop fly to right. From there, Post 254’s cohesive defense worked together to hold off Cold Spring as they narrowed the scoring gap to 3-2 in the top of the sixth. Post 254 had a solid game at the plate with 10 hits. Connor Hemker led, going 3-3 with two RBIs. Fuecker went 2-3 and Brady Posch 2-4 to contribute to the offensive success. Derek Durant pitched well for Post 254 for the first six innings of play, boasting a .652 strike percentage in 112 pitches. He allowed nine hits and three walks with six strikeouts. Hanson was pulled in for relief, pitching seven strikes in 12 pitches to round out the game.

Benson edges out Baker in photo finish Wins midwest modified feature by .023 ST. CLOUD – After two consecutive rainouts, the Granite City Speedway in Sauk Rapids roared back to life July 7 with perfect weather for its annual fan appreciation night which saw a near capacity crowd witness a night of racing action in five WISSOTA divisions. After preliminary action was completed and intermission festivities wrapped up, the WISSOTA super stocks were the first division to compete in the feature event. After a pair of first lap cautions, Austin
Niemeyer took command from the outside of the front row and drove off to a sizeable advantage, while Don Eischens and Shane Sabraski battled for second with Dexton Koch behind. Niemeyer hit his marks lap after lap and led the first half of the event until a midrace caution bunched the field and allowed Eischens to pounce first and steal the lead. Once out front, Eischens tried to drive away, but Sabraski snuck into second and pressured the 9E car for the lead during the remainder of the main event. Eischens held off Sabraski for the victory with Chad Fouquette stealing second from Sabraski, who came home a solid 1 second in front of Kurt Becken and Cody Emmans, who round-

ed out the top five. The WISSOTA hornets were up next with Zach Schreder taking the lead from his front row starting spot at the drop of the green flag. Schreder paced the field for the first half of the race until his car began to backfire which ended his night prematurely and handed the lead to Nate Servaty, who was in a great side by side battle with Carter Rieland for second. Servaty assumed the lead and stretched his advantage lap after lap en route to the victory. Justin Schelitzche came across the line in second with Rieland third and Joe Wilber and Cody Krueth rounding out the top five in fourth and fifth, respectively. Up next were the WISSOTA modifieds with Jon Olmscheid and Pete Loecken pacing the field to the green. As the field rumbled to the green flag, fourth starting Clayton Wagamon took command and stretched his lead over the first 10 laps of the event with Sabraski and Denis Czech charging after him in second and third, respectively. Wagamon continued in front until a mid-race caution put the 7A and 2 cars on the heels of Wagamon’s No. 14W on the restart. Wagamon again took the lead and began to search on the high side of the speedway for the fastest way around, while Sabraski kept his machine glued to the bottom lane. Sabraski

edged passed Wagamon and stole the lead, which he held to the end for the victory. Wagamon held on for a solid second with Czech third, Justin Oestreich fourth and Eischens fifth. The WISSOTA mod four main event was up next and provided a battle between Justin Pogones, Keith Thell and Mitch Hribar. Pogones was in front at the outset and ran alone in the lead for much of the event, while Keith Thell picked his way forward. Keith Thell pressured Pogones for the lead and stole it once only to have a caution negate the pass. On the restart, Pogones took back off in the lead with Keith Thell in hot pursuit and Hribar right there as well. Keith Thell completed the pass and secured the lead which he held to the checkered flag. Hribar snatched second from Pogones at the line with Dustin Holtquist and Jamie Flickinger coming across the line with top five finishes. The WISSOTA midwest modified main event was the final event on the schedule Sunday evening, and it provided the best finish of the night. Mark Martini took command at the start and paced the field with Zach Benson, Matt Baker and Kyle Thell swapping the second spot lap after lap on the heels of Martini’s 42 car. A mid-race yellow bunched the field and saw Martini’s night end as he pulled pit-side, handing the lead to Benson. Benson then took off into the top spot and tried to run away for the win, but Baker had other ideas and jumped to the top of the speedway and cut into Benson’s lead as the laps wound down. Benson continued his run around the bottom, while Baker screamed around the top as the duo crossed under
the white flag nearly side by side and drag raced around the speedway for the final time wheel to wheel. Baker made one last effort on the cushion, but Benson hit his marks perfectly on the bottom and nipped Baker by 0.023 seconds for the thrilling photo finish victory. Travis Schulte raced his way to a third place finish with Kyle Thell fourth and Brandon Mehrwerth completing the top five.

Bernick’s Arena to host Kraft USWNT wins check presentation ceremony world cup SARTELL — Bernick’s Arena, located at 1109 First St. S., in Sartell, has scheduled a check presentation and community celebration Tuesday, July 16. As one of the four finalists in the Kraft Hockeyville competition, Kraft Foods will be at the event to present the arena with its award check. As a means to thank the community for its support, the event will include pizza, hotdogs and beverages from 6-6:45 p.m., compliments of House of Pizza, Coborn’s, Kraft and Bernick’s. The check presentation will follow at 7 p.m. Bernick’s Arena, home ice of
the Storm’n Sabres girls hockey team, was the only Minnesota arena to advance as a finalist. Kraft Hockeyville is an annual competition sponsored by Kraft Foods, the National Hockey League and the NHL Players’ Association in which communities compete to demonstrate their commitment to the sport of ice hockey. Bernick’s Arena was a runner-up in the competition and will be receiving a check for $10,000 to be used for rink upgrades. “The passion for hockey in this community is like none I have ever seen,” said Cory Oberg, president of the Sartell Youth Hockey As-
sociation Board. “This passion is fueled by active association members and extremely generous local sponsors. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who assisted in the competition as well as the sponsors who make events like this possible.” The award dollars will be put towards the rink’s capital campaign. In April, the rink received a lead campaign gift from Scheels All Sports Inc. and is now developing plans for construction. The expansion is spurred by the tremendous growth the city has experienced in youth hockey and athletics in general.

After an undefeated run through the 2019 World Cup tournament capped with a 2-0 win over a strong Netherlands team July 7, the United States Women’s National Team is once again on top of the world. This is the second consecutive World Cup championship for the by ANDY THAYER USWNT, and their elite level Sports Columnist of play and compelling cast of characters makes them an easy team for which to cheer. The USWNT outscored their opponents 26-3 in this year’s World Cup, but things were not quite as easy as the goal count makes it seem. After punishing Thailand 13-0 in the group stage, no match was decided by more than three goals. Once the knockout stage began, the United States faced a series of harrowing matches against some of the best European teams, and they survived with a series of harrowing 2-1 wins over Spain, France and England to reach the final against the Netherlands. The contrast in styles between those opponents tested the depth of the squad and the tactical acumen of coach Jill Ellis, who acquitted herself nicely after the team’s disappointing fifth-place finish in the 2016 Olympics. The USWNT was led by Golden Ball (tournament MVP) winner Megan Rapinoe, who scored six goals and was the emotional leader of the team and spirit animal for a large portion of the team’s rabid fanbase. Her outspoken nature, vibrant pink-purple hair and dominant play made her absolutely magnetic throughout the tournament, and even her detractors have to admit she definitely backed up her talk with her performance. I have been a Rapinoe fan since 2011, when her ridiculous left-footed cross to Abby Wambach with seconds left in a quarterfinal match against Brazil tied the game in one of the most clutch plays I have ever seen in any sport. She is definitely on the short list of athletes with the most ice water in their veins. It is not all about Rapinoe. Alex Morgan also netted six goals despite battling an injury she sustained in the team’s final group stage matchup against Sweden. Rose Lavelle scored the dagger goal that put the United States up 2-0 against the Netherlands and essentially sealed the championship, and she is an up-and-coming star. Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher was rock solid throughout the tournament and saved a penalty kick attempt against England that preserved the USWNT’s razor-thin one goal lead. Carli Lloyd has been a critical part of the team for years now and scored three goals in a reserve role throughout this tournament. Christen Press started against England in the semifinal match when Rapinoe was out with an injury, and she rose to the occasion and scored a goal nine minutes into the match to give the United States an early lead. The entire team stepped up and contributed to this championship. I am certainly not the biggest soccer fan around, and I will admit I am not the most qualified person to recap a World Cup tournament. However, the fact the USWNT has compelled me to write about their amazing World Cup performance is kind of the point here. Anyone who gives this team a chance and tunes in to their matches is going to be captivated. The USWNT is walking and talking proof that womens sports can be as entertaining as mens sports.

Cyclones drop two, defeat St. Joseph
Team prepares to wrap up regular season BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
The Sauk Rapids Cyclones were back in action this week in St. Cloud for a doubleheader against the Beaudreau’s Saints July 7, losing the games 8-3 and 8-2. The Clones also played July 10 at Bob Cross Park in Sauk Rapids, defeating the St. Joseph Joes 11-3. The Cyclones play at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, July 14, as they host the Moorhead Brewers. They will also host the Cold Spring Springers at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 17. Sauk Rapids 11, St. Joseph 3 The Cyclones pushed out a win over the St. Joseph Joes July 10 in Sauk Rapids. Windy conditions did not slow down the Clones at the plate. They pushed out 10 hits, two resulting in home runs. Sauk Rapids scored two in the first inning before Luis Massa belted a home run in the third to pull ahead 3-1. Two runs in the fifth, – one of which was a home run from Bjorn Hanson – four in the sixth and two in the eighth pushed the Clones ahead of the Joes. Cordell Lazer started on the mound for Sauk Rapids with three strikeouts in three innings, but the Clones circulated through five pitchers by game’s end. Alex Kreiling, Hanson, Noah Klinefelter and Matt Johnson all stepped in for relief. At the end of the game, the Cyclones had 11 strikeouts. St. Cloud 8, Sauk Rapids 2 The Clones had a tough start to the second game of their doubleheader against the St. Cloud Beaudreau’s Saints July 7. The Saints put up all eight of their runs by the middle of the seventh inning, leaving the Cyclones scrambling to get on the board. David Kroger was able to swing a grounder to second base to give the Clones a run in the bottom of the seventh, and Tyler Hemker put a grounder to the pitcher to bring the second run in. Sauk Rapids struggled at the plate with only five hits throughout the game. Defensively, the Clones had three pitchers on the mound. Kroger started the game with four strikeouts and a .667 strike percentage in three innings. Andy Thayer came in for relief for four innings with a .730 strike percentage, and Noah Klinefelter closed the game with a .568 strike percentage in two innings.
