In the key of Clafton

Former Sauk Rapids resident to release first music single

BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – Making the move to Music City March 17, 2016, was new, exciting and nervewracking for Aaron Clafton.

“I loved being around all of the live music, and I am a fan of the lighter winters,” said Clafton, a 2011 graduate of Sauk RapidsRice High School. “But, I came for the music even though it took me about a year and half to dive into the music scene and gain the condence to introduce myself to people.”

Clafton has been writing songs with others in the industry and playing the occasional live show, but his career is about to have a changing moment.

Clafton will release his rst recorded music single, “Spare Key,” June 28.

Clafton’s country single “Spare Key” was inspired by a friend. The two were at a house party talking about a breakup with a girlfriend and miscommunica-

PUBLIC NOTICES

SAUK RAPIDS – Sauk Rapids and Sartell residents have an opportunity at their hands. And, it comes to them at no cost.

Partnerships between the two cities, Xcel Energy Inc. and the Center for Energy and Environment will allow for 150 homeowners to receive free energy visits to their homes. The pilot project was presented to the Sauk Rapids City Council June 13.

The visits consist of two CEE energy experts installing energy efcient modications.

Homeowners need only to be an Xcel Energy electric service customer to participate.

“The materials they could install in the homes are going to be LED lightbulbs, door weather stripping, hi-efciency shower heads and faucet aerators,” said Ashley Robertson, assistant marketing manager for CEE, in a separate interview.

Robertson said if homes are compatible and homeowners sign up for Xcel’s AC Rewards program, they could also receive a free programmable Ecobee Smart Thermostat.

“When we are doing that energy visit and the experts are in the home, they are actually installing the materials on the spot,” Robertson said. “…

What’s really cool about that is when the two people leave the home, the person is seeing savings immediately.”

The residential portion of the project is limited to 150

Clafton will release his first music single, “Spare Key,” June 28. tion regarding the spare key to a sentimental story focused on wanting an ex to come back into your home.

“We ended up having a more life,” Clafton said.

Clafton is producing the song through The Amber Sound recording studio, of Hermitage, Tenn., with producer Ryan Youmans.

Clafton co-wrote the song with Julia Formica and Levi Burwell. He met Formica through the Nashville Songwriters Association International. The connection with Burwell came from Clafton reaching out through Instagram.

“I enjoyed working with them,” Clafton said. “The community of artists in Nashville is probably my favorite thing about being here. These people want to see you have success just as much as they have. I had a hard time believing that because of how competitive the music business is until I got down here and realized it’s true.”

Clafton met with Formica rst, coming to her with the idea for the song. Then, the two met with Burwell and walked out with a completed product.

“I am really happy with the quality of this song,” Clafton said.

“I have written with a lot of different people over the last year and a half, and it took a lot to get through the bad songs to get to the good ones. It is important to know when a song is good and to be condent in it.”

homes in Sartell and Sauk Rapids and must be completed by Aug. 31. There is no commitment following installation other than if the homeowner chooses to participate in the AC Rewards program.

Businesses can also see a kick back from the pilot. The CEE will conduct energy audits at business locations – looking at lighting, refrigeration, heating, ventilation and air conditioning – and modications could result in bonus rebates on top of rebates already offered for qualied improvements.

“We’d give them a report with details, recommendations, an estimate with the rebates and savings they would see with making those improvements, and we could even help with nding them a contractor, nances or anything else,” Robertson said. “The audits need to be signed up by Aug. 31, but they’ll have through the end of the year to actually make the upgrades

and work with a contractor.”

The group targeted Sauk Rapids and Sartell because of the area’s growth and increased energy use. The program hopes to reduce costs for both Xcel and patrons.

The groups have studied improvements and savings and will generate a rough estimate of usage savings by previously studied numbers. Billing information will remain secure.

“We kind of know when you install these materials there is about this much savings value,” Robertson said. “We have done those calculations on the front end in the research side, so we know by going into these 150 homes and installing these materials, this is the average savings.

It’s kind of precalculated.”

If the program is a success, the partners will look to duplicate it in other service areas.

The pilot is funded

by Xcel Energy and the Environment of Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources. It is the rst of its kind in Minnesota.

Clafton said. “I felt it was taking time away from my writing with other songwriters, but I went to a songwriting seminar and realized how wrong I was. It opened my eyes to not use my full time job as an excuse to not commit to my music. Many people jumpstart their music careers while working full time, and it gave me a sense of motivation. I learned to juggle it with my writing and live shows.”

Ahead of the release of “Spare Key,” Clafton is excited for his fans to hear the song.

“I love the visuals of this song,” Clafton said. “I think they really paint a picture for the listener, and I love the melody and production of it.”

“Spare Key” will be available on streaming platforms and in other retail locations.

“I also have a greater knowledge of how production works, and I am vocally stronger and have grown up a lot,” Clafton said. “Over the last six months especially, I have been looking for something to put out, and as we wrote “Spare Key” I knew it would have to be my rst single.”

One of the biggest challenges for Clafton was having a full time job once he got settled in his new environment. Clafton works at a credit union.

Iris borers

Are your iris plants blooming? If so, enjoy. If not, check for iris borer infestation. The iris borer caterpillar is part of the life cycle of iris borer moth. These moths have medium brown front wings and lighter brown back wings which may span up to 2 inches. The moth lays its eggs on the iris leaves in late summer and fall. The eggs

Green and Then, the caterpillar moves down the inside Growing in of the leaf until it reaches the rhizome. The Benton County rhizome is the root of the plant and is always at ground level, partially exposed to the sun.

The caterpillar then eats the rhizome from the inside out. The caterpillars pupate in the ground and then emerge as adult moths that lay eggs which will repeat the cycle the following year.

Early signs of iris borer infestation are brown or watery spots on the leaves and a failure to bloom. Later in the growing season, the base of the plant will also show excessive brown areas. If detected early, it is possible to kill the larvae as they eat their way down the inside of the leaf and grow into caterpillars. Leaves with watery streaks on them are signs a borer larva is eating its way down to the rhizome. Squeeze these areas between your ngers to kill the larvae. If you suspect an iris borer infestation, gently dig up the rhizomes and check them for caterpillars. Look for soft areas and tunnels in the rhizomes and submerge them in water for several minutes. The caterpillars are pink with a darker head section on one end. If they are present, they will emerge out of the tunnels to avoid drowning and then can be destroyed. Remove any decayed or severely damaged areas of the rhizomes before replanting them.

Some sources recommend the divided rhizomes should be allowed to dry or cure for several days before replanting to limit the spread of rot. Or, the cut rhizomes may be soaked in a diluted bleach solution for several minutes, rinsed with plain water and then allowed to dry before replanting.

Iris borers may also by treated with insecticides when the leaves are a few inches tall but remember to follow all instructions on the label for personal safety. Two applications several days apart as usually recommended. Iris, like peonies, are plants that should have all their dead leaves and above ground plant materials removed in the fall. This will kill any eggs that have been deposited on the plant and keep them from maturing and causing a problem the following year. There are also two kinds of microscopic roundworms labeled as benecial nematodes that are natural enemies to the iris borer and may be purchased at garden centers.

Less common iris diseases may cause similar damage to the leaves, so it is advisable to dig up the rhizome and check them for the caterpillars. Siberian irises have been found to be more tolerant or less susceptible to iris borer damage than bearded irises. Go to https://www.extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-insects/iris-borers for a detailed article on dealing with this plant pest.

MDA issues advisory on cover crop seed Seed law must be followed on prevented planting acres

ST. PAUL – Poor planting conditions this spring are forcing some farmers to make decisions on prevented planting. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is advising farmers about the legal requirements for selling and buying seed in Minnesota.

This includes cover crop seed.

There are several issues the MDA has found in past years that violate Minnesota’s Seed Law. Buying grain from an elevator for the purpose of sowing is not legal. It is also illegal to brown bag or sell grain out of a bin. Furthermore, all seed sold in the state must be labeled.

“There are numerous reasons why Minnesota’s Seed Law restricts these activities,” said Denise Thiede, MDA’s Seed Unit Supervisor.

“Farmers could be bringing in weeds through unlabeled and untested seed, or they may not be getting the type or quality of seed they paid for.”

In addition, almost all seed varieties have some form of intellectual property

White Honey Tree Farm provides sweet sales

BY DANNA SABOLIK STAFF WRITER

ST. CLOUD – The Whites have a sweet hobby as honey farmers.

Three and a half years ago, Clay and Rebecca White, along with their daughter, Mallory, 9, began keeping bees in their backyard.

“There’s quite a learning curve to go from keeping them alive to stealing their honey,” Rebecca said. “It takes a little while to know how to deal with bees and their intricacies.”

The Whites, of St. Cloud, raise 40 hives of bees on 23 acres. This year, they are selling honey at farmers markets in Sauk Rapids and Sartell. Clay is also a deputy at the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Ofce.

“It’s a learning process,” Clay said. “This is our rst year selling at farmers markets.”

The Whites said they enjoy the exposure and communication aspect of selling local produce.

“It puts us in the community,” Rebecca said.

“People go through different amounts of honey, so you

have to have your name out there so when they go through their quart of honey every other month they know where to nd us.”

The Whites sell honey in pint and quart sized jars, as well as 16 ounce and 32 ounce bottles.

During the rst year of production, the Whites made enough honey for themselves and gifts for friends and family.

The second year was similar, but last year they ended up with more honey than they could consume, so they looked into selling their product.

“This is our rst year of more production,” Clay said.

“The rst years we started with two hives and grew to 10, and this year we have 40.”

Last fall, the Whites sent their honey bees to Texas for the winter. Overwintering colonies in a warmer climates is a proactive approach to ensuring bees survive. Minnesota winters can put bees at risk of die off due to starvation, condensation or cold.

“If your bees stay here through the winter, you’ll probably lose 70%-75% of the hive,” Rebecca said. “If you’re a migratory beekeeper your bees will go south for winter.

Clay and Rebecca White, and their daughter, Mallory, 9, stand in their backyard in rural St. Cloud. The Whites manage 40 hives and sell their honey at farmers markets under the business name of White Honey Tree Farm.

We don’t collect a honey ow in a different state, but they make more bees while they’re in a more temperate climate, and you bring them back here in the spring.”

The Whites brought 15 hives to Texas in November; the number more than doubled.

If those 15 hives had stayed in Minnesota, at least 40% would have died, Clay said.

Another aspect of migratory beekeeping is the amount of honey that can be harvested in the fall.

“They cluster to stay warm and won’t break away to get

feed, and if they can’t get to feed, they’ll starve to death,” Clay said. “That will happen if there’s a longer cold snap like we usually see in January or February.”

The responsibilities of keeping bees do not stop there.

Day-to-day, the bees require monitoring.

“We make sure the queen is laying and doing what she’s supposed to do,” Clay said.

“It’s also swarm season now so we watch to make sure our bees don’t swarm away. I’m also White page 2B

was a hard feat and discouraging as neighbors exited the industry. Lawrence said they relied on the help of their neighbors and supported each other through those tough years. He remembers cold winters and dusty summers growing up.

“The wind would blow and blow, and snow drifts would touch the power lines, but some places would have none; it was crazy,” Lawrence said.

One of his most distinct memories was having gasoline delivered to the farm for $0.13 a gallon.

Lawrence purchased the farm from his parents in 1956, one year before he married Rita.

Lawrence and Rita grew the farm, raising laying hens, farrowing hogs and 12 milking cows. They began milking by hand and worked together until Rita had their third child and decided she needed to be in the house more often.

“Then, we put in the pipeline and got milking machines,” Rita said. “I still helped with feeding and other chores but that was the end of my milking.”

Lawrence said milking with the machines made it safer for farmers, too.

“It was dangerous sitting on a little stool and the worst was a rst-calf heifer that had never been touched before,” he said. “Many times I looked at the belly button of a heifer, I’m lucky I’m still here.”

Lawrence is amazed by the changes in agriculture during his lifetime.

“Sometimes I don’t know if this is real life or if I’m dreaming,” he said. “So much has changed in my life of farming I don’t know where to begin.”

Raising their family was Rita’s pride.

“I think all the ribs from one pig would go at one time,” she said. “They had plenty to eat. We had all the meat from our farm and a big garden, and I’d can that. I would also bake bread twice a week and always have something baked for them.”

Lawrence and Rita’s eighth child, Bill, took over the farm in 1993.

Today, Bill operates a 40-cow dairy in a tiestall barn on the original farm site. He feeds out his steers to nishing and sold the last of the pigs about 15 years ago.

Because he only has cattle on the farm, Bill nds it easier to explore a variety of crops in the eld.

“I have a variety of soils,” Bill said. “I have sandy places, some good black dirt and some river bottoms.”

He grows corn, soybean, alfalfa, clover hay, meadow hay, some rye and oat on 250 acres of land.

Bill loves the farming lifestyle and hopes to

Sauk Rapids family benefits from Tanner’s Team

BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER

PHOTOS SUBMITTED

Lillian Johannes is dressed in her superhero cape at her home in Sauk Rapids. Johannes was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January and is expected to be in remission in mid-July.

S A U K RAPIDS – Six year old Lillian Johannes is the perfect example of what it is to be courageous.

“We call her our warrior princess,” said Alyssa Johannes, Lillian’s mom. “She is the denition of bravery, strength and grace.”

Lillian was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia – a type of blood and bone marrow cancer which affects white blood cells – shortly after the rst of the year following two months of concerns and uncertain diagnoses.

“It was scary to have the ALL diagnosis, but it was almost a sigh of relief,” Alyssa said. “We

were ghting for so long to nd out what was wrong with her. There have been a few tears with the thought that my daughter has cancer, mostly away from Lillian, but there is some relief knowing we have a diagnosis and correct course of treatment.”

Lillian is undergoing six phases of chemotherapy treatment at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis.

Her treatment started biweekly and advanced to weekly. Once Lillian completes chemotherapy by mid-July, she will be considered in remission.

Still, she will have one session of chemo and a check-up once every three months beginning in September.

As the Johannes family faced rising medical bills from Lillian’s treatment, they received nancial help they desperately needed in the form of a grant from the Tanner’s Team Foundation, a nonprot based in Sauk Rapids designed to help families with children facing life threatening illnesses.

Tanner’s Team was founded after John and Cindy Fuls lost their son Tanner to myelodysplastic syndrome at age 11 in November 2010. As of

The Johannes family – Alyssa (from left), Lillian, Zella and Nate – smile as a family for Easter in Sauk Rapids.

The family has maintained a routine with school and work throughout the year despite Lillian being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia since January.

May 31, the foundation has helped 270 central Minnesota families by granting over $291,000 in assistance. The group will host its annual 1K and 5K run or walk beginning at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, June 22. The event takes place at Bob Cross Park in Sauk Rapids, and the Johannes family will be assisting in the fundraising event.

“Tanner’s Team paid our mortgage for the month of March, which blessed us in more ways than just the money,” Alyssa said. “The grant freed up money for us to allocate to the incoming medical bills, which was a relief.”

The Johannes family also gained friendship through the gift and will pay the kindness forward by staying involved in the nonprot.

“Tanner’s Team is such an important part of our community, and they help people locally,” Alyssa said. “They are all about giving back, and I advocate for them all the

time. I think about our situation and how I didn’t have to worry about paying part of a medical bill because of their generosity.

There are people all over in our same position, and I never thought we would get help like that. They do great work in communities just like ours all around central Minnesota and it benets so many. They are an incredible organization.”

Lillian missed 40 days of classroom time between January and the last day of the school year, but the Johannes family attempts to keep life typical for the future rst grade student.

“We keep things as normal and routine as possible around home, except for treatment days,” Alyssa said. “It is so easy to do that as Lillian has not had any of the symptoms of her leukemia. We sometimes forget she is sick.”

Out of all the types of cancer Lillian could have, ALL has a good prognosis.

“There is a 95% cure rate for this cancer and a high success rate of kids in remission and not relapsing,” Alyssa said.

“We were honest and up front with Lillian about it, especially noting she does have cancer, and it is serious. She understands that. But, we are thankful her prognosis is so good and that Tanner’s Team was able to help.”

Lillian Johannes lays in her hospital bed at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. Johannes has been receiving chemotherapy treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia since January, and the family received a grant to help with medical bills from Tanner’s Team Foundation.

Breanna Westby B

Daughter of Bethany and Dean Westby D Sponsor: Holiday Station Store S 2 2019-20 grade: Senior Tell us a little about yourself. I live with my parents, three siblings, two dogs and a cat. I work at Holiday in Rice which is a short drive from my home. In my free time, I enjoy painting, snowmobiling and four-wheeling. I participate in and am passionate about DECA and have qualified for state competition two years in a row.

What do you enjoy most about the community? How welcoming the community members are. Whether I am at school or at Rock Creek Coffeehouse, anywhere I go, everyone is kind and welcoming. The people of Sauk Rapids are open to help and support you whenever you need it.

What traits do you possess that would make a good Sauk Rapids Community ambassador? I am passionate and purpose driven. I am passionate about representing the community I love. I also think I would make a good Sauk Rapids ambassador because I am willing to admit I am not perfect. I make mistakes, and I have flaws. But with every mistake I make comes a lesson to learn, and I believe the willingness to admit that is important in being able to grow as a person.

Thursday, June 21 at 7 p.m. at the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School Performing Arts Center.

Admission $10/ adult, $5/ child ages 5-10, and free to children four and under.

Morgan Thompson M

Daughter of Dawn Thompson and Brett Berg D Sponsor: Stella Scholl Premier Real Estate services S 2 2019-20 grade: Senior Tell us a little about yourself. I enjoy doing gymnastics and playing lacrosse and tennis. I love being around my family and friends. I am involved in student council, Link and Minnesota Honor Society. I enjoy photography and going to the lake in my free time.

What do you enjoy most about the community? The way the community acts as a whole and how many people are involved in the community. I also enjoy the pride the Sauk Rapids community has.

What traits do you possess that would make a good Sauk Rapids Community ambassador? One important trait is selflessness because being an ambassador is about giving back to the community. I think selflessness is an important trait in leading a community.

Stop by & demo machines PLUS sign up to win a walk-behind mower!

D Daughter of Ana Martel and Paul Bukovich Sponsor: Heim Milling Co S 2 2019-20 grade: Freshman at the University of W Wisconsin-River Falls.

Tell us a little about yourself. I was born and raised in Sauk Rapids and have been in the school district since the fourth grade. I may not be the most involved in school activities; however, I make up for it with my activity in 4-H and the community. I am a first generation 4-Her and have been involved for 10 years. I have completed and presented a large variety of projects, but my tried and true remain to be the sheep, lama and rabbit projects. Amongst competing at the county and state level with my projects, I also am an ambassador for Minnesota State 4-H alongside 20 or so other youth from across the state. Through 4-H, I also do community service. I participate in ditch cleaning, taking the animals – llamas specifically – out to be in parades, and bringing llamas to the Great River Regional Library in St. Cloud for the Llama Llama Read-A-Rama presented by the United Way. My favorite is when we bring the animals to the Good Shepherd nursing home’s memory cottages for their fall festival. I also show rabbits on a national level and am a member of the American Rabbit Breeder’s Association, Minnesota State Rabbit Breeder’s Association, Central Minnesota Rabbit Club, National Jersey Wooly Rabbit Club and the American Thrianta Rabbit Breeder’s Association. I also horseback ride and will be competing this summer riding dressage.

What do you enjoy most about the Sauk Rapids community? How supportive everyone is. Regardless if a program is incredibly successful or if it is struggling, the community provides the same amount of support and pride, and that amount is tremendous. It is incredibly encouraging to know there is a community full of good people who are so proud of achievements made, big or small, and who cheer on and give full support to those who may be struggling.

What traits do you possess that would make a good Sauk Rapids Community ambassador? I am a natural leader, flexible and outgoing. These traits are important for any ambassador. Ambassadors are role models and to some degree should possess leadership skills. Whether it be teaching or even helping out, good leadership skills can be an asset in any situation. All good leaders should be able to be flexible.

Sometimes things do not go as planned, and that is OK. But, a good leader must be able to adapt to what is happening. My favorite saying that applies to this is, “Be a water bottle, not a can of pop.” Lastly, an ambassador must be outgoing. It is a position where interaction with people is prominent and being outgoing not only helps make your experience better, but it makes the experiences of those around you better too.

Kaeleigh Rainer K

Daughter of Jason and Krista Rainer D Sponsor: Active Nutrition S 2 2019-20 grade: Freshman at St. Cloud State Universsity in St. Cloud.

Tell us a little about yourself. I am a recent graduate of Sauk Rapids-Rice High School. I have been involved in Minnesota Honor Society, Project for Teens, student council, DECA, LINK, survivor week, choir and dance team. I am planning on going to SCSU for nursing or pre-med. My family consists of my mom and dad, identical twin sisters and our mini Sheepadoodle Gretta.

What do you enjoy most about the Sauk Rapids community? I enjoy that in Sauk Rapids you are able to have big city opportunities with a small town feel. I also enjoy the caring community for students. Everyone from our teachers to our mayor help provide us with a fun, safe and nurturing environment. All community members support each other.

What traits do you possess that would make a good Sauk Rapids Community ambassador? I am hardworking, determined and passionate. I am a strong leader and want to have a positive impact on the future ambassadors. I take this opportunity seriously and plan to make sure I am portraying the best representation of Sauk Rapids.
