Heating company bestows air conditioner, furnace to historical society
SAUK RAPIDS – Bryant Schreifels, owner and chief executive officer of Lyon Sheet Metal and Heating Inc., knew the air conditioner at the Benton County Historical Society in Sauk Rapids needed to be replaced just by looking at it. “It was extremely dirty,” Schreifels said. “It needed some T.L.C.” Schreifels and Lyon deliv-
ered on that need, replacing the museum’s air conditioner and furnace free of charge June 18. The center is grateful for the heating company’s support. “They don’t have to do it,” said Mary Ostby, executive director of the Benton County Historical Society. “It was a huge, appreciative donation.” Initially, Ostby noticed the 21-year-old air conditioning unit was not getting the job done. She consulted the society’s board of directors about the issue, but before she could receive an answer, the local business sent her an email expressing their desire to take on the task of replacing it for free. Lyon’s generosity toward the center is not a random act of kindness. In 1998, they stepped up to do the same process, installing a new heating unit as a donation to the historical society. Schreifels was one of five crew members assigned

Sauk Rapids crowns three BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – As the last of spring’s showers hindered outdoor activities Thursday evening, a new reign was about to begin. Anna Lucas, Kaeleigh Rainer and Morgan Thompson were crowned the 2019-20 Sauk Rapids Community Ambassadors June 20 at the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School in Sauk Rapids. The three will share equal titles over the next 12 months. “I can’t really believe it happened,” said Rainer following coronation. Rainer is the daughter of Jason and Krista Rainer. She is sponsored by Active Nutrition. “I was very shocked, but I am very excited,” Rainer said. “It hasn’t really sunk in yet to be honest.” Seven candidates –
Izzy Bukovich, Ashlyn Frey, Lucas, Caylee Manke, Rainer, Thompson and Breanna Westby – took the stage to compete for the titles. They were judged on community involvement, essay, interview, poise and projection and responses to impromptu questions. Six judges, which included Sauk Rapids Mayor Kurt Hunstiger, tallied the scores. Prior to the tiara being placed on her head, Lucas was anxious. “I was super nervous,” said Lucas, who is daughter of Jamie and Sarah Lucas and sponsored by Nemeth Orthodontics. “All the girls did so good, and I couldn’t even tell who was going to get the titles. I was really nervous and really excited for all of us.” But after receiving the evening gown and being the first title-winner crowned, the doubts
ceased. “Oh my gosh, I was so excited,” Lucas said. “It was so crazy.” Thompson, who is the daughter of Dawn Thompson and Brett Berg, received the second crown. She said she had been hesitant to become an ambassador candidate because of the quality competition, but Thompson found the courage when she remembered one thing. “When I was younger, I always looked up to the ambassadors, and I wanted the opportunity to be one,” Thompson said. Thompson was sponsored in the endeavor by Stella Scholl of Premier Real Estate Services. Lucas, Rainer and Thompson replace 2018 ambassadors Jenna Bukowski, Anna Walz and Morgan Weinand. Weinand received her queen’s key invitation to the Minneapolis Aquatennial Ambassador competition in July. Candidate Westby was voted Miss Congeniality by her peers, and Mike and Julie Bukowski received an honorary commodore award from Aquatennial Captain Jackie Paul and Queen of the Lakes Haley Rogers. The Bukowskis were bestowed the honor for their continued service to the Sauk Rapids Community

Ambassador Organization and beyond. In addition to their multiple week training course and a year of opportunities, the 2019-20 ambassadors will each receive a portion of $3,500 in scholarships donated by the Sauk Rapids Lions Club. As Lucas, Rainer and Thompson began their roles with a weekend filled with Rapids River Days events, they looked forward to meeting new people, sharing leadership throughout the community and waving to kids in the parades.

is ensured. However, changes are likely in the museum’s crystal ball. The building has been a constant expansion effort. A backroom section was added in 1998 through community donations to help store everything the society offers, but it is not enough. “We’re literally running out of space,” Ostby said. “But, that’s another story, and we’ll move forward on that as the board does some planning.”

“That’s part of what made me do it, because that’s the way it used to be,” he said. “I haven’t been around as long as some other people, but I do remember that.” Ostby, who took over as executive director in 2004, is familiar with the times Schreifels speaks of. “The old ways were to work within the confines of your local community, find the need, fill it, and take care of it,” Ostby said.

MINNEAPOLIS – The Minneapolis Aquatennial Ambassador Organization is excited to announce that Morgan Weinand will represent the community of Sauk Rapids in the AAO Candidate Program July 23-28. This year, 52 candidates will be participating in the program; one young woman is chosen to be the Queen of the Lakes, and two women are chosen as Morgan Weinand princesses. The selection team considers a variety of criteria including professionalism, public speaking ability, current and future goals, education and extracurricular activities. In addition to the interview process, the candidates participate in leadership and personal development. These experiences include visiting Minneapolis hallmarks like The Woman’s Club of Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and a Mississippi river boat cruise. Community members are invited to cheer on their community representative at the traditional Meet the Candidates event from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 24, at the Minneapolis City Center Rotunda. The week culminates with coronation of the 2020 Aquatennial Ambassadors at Ted Mann Concert Hall at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus at 4 p.m. Saturday, July 27, with a reception one hour prior. Tickets will be available to the public through the University of Minnesota website. Community members are encouraged to send well wishes to their candidate at the Millennium Hotel, 1313 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis. Indicate they are an AAO candidate. The 2019 Ambassador team includes Queen of the Lakes Haley Rogers from the community of Albertville, commodore Ann Bailey with DARTS, aquatennial princess Mandy Rochel from the community of Chisago Lakes, captain Marjorie Weinhagen with Weinhagen Tires, aquatennial princess Courtney Engholm of Sleepy Eye, and captain Jackie Paul with 360 Communities. The AAO has been a pioneering organization in building partnerships and relationships with the Minneapolis Aquatennial, city of Minneapolis and communities throughout Minnesota since 1940. Ambassadors serve as positive role models by making over 250 public appearances every year. For more information, visit http://www.aquatennialambassadors.com.

“What we did 21 years ago, it was fun,” Schreifels said, looking at a photograph of the 1998 project. “It was a no-brainer.” The donation could not have come to a more necessary location; the historical society operates under specific conditions to ensure the safety of documents and collected items stored in the building. According to Ostby, the building is kept at around 68 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity in the 50%-60% threshold. “We would have had to physically move them until the unit was replaced,” Ostby said. “It would have been a heck of a lot of work for volunteers and staff. The timeliness of the donation, the speediness of the installation, it all worked out.” The Benton County Historical Society is a gateway to the county’s venerable history. The current office on First Street North was built in 1982, but records have been documented and protected for far longer that, dating to the formation of the original territory county in 1849 (before Minnesota was a state). The museum is kept vibrant by the work of volunteers, who have assisted in keeping memories of the past alive for visitors and curiosity seekers. The installation was a group effort, with Lyon employees getting to the building early Tuesday morning to remove the existing furnace and air conditioning unit and initiating a full installation of updated heating and cooling units. Despite the manpower and labor needed to fulfill the arduous task, Schreifels won’t lose sleep over the lost profit. It comes with being a member of a community built on giving back.

Summer is poppin’ Borders is face behind Grampa Steve’s Kettle Corn BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Rapids River Food Fest is Saturday, and people in central Minnesota will flock to Municipal Park in Sauk Rapids to taste the sweet and savory. From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. June 22, festival attendees will sink their teeth into corn on the cob, pork chops on a stick, mini donuts and other delights. Brad Borders will be supplying patrons with a freshly popped experience in exchange for their blue tokens. He is the face behind Grampa Steve’s Kettle Corn. People commonly ask Borders if he is Grandpa Steve. “Well, I am but I’m not,” said Border, of St. Cloud. “I’m Grandpa Brad.” Borders and his wife, Barb, have six grandchildren who have never asked why the business carries another namesake. If they did, the answer is Borders purchased the established business when he was looking for something to fill his time upon retirement. “I said, ‘Hey, that could be interesting,’” Borders said. “I checked
into it and decided to go for it.” Grampa Steve’s Kettle Corn was an established business in Willmar with minimal knowledge spread to the tri-county area of Benton, Stearns and Sherburne. But, with relocation, Borders has made a name for himself while sticking with the moniker. Together with Barb, Borders travels to about 20 Minnesota community events each year during the months of June, July and August. He also caters to private events. The truck and trailer business appealed to Borders because it was a way for him to meet new people and see new things. “It gets us out of the house,” Borders said. Borders had no clue on how to make kettle corn when he signed the paperwork to buy the business. He had counted on learning from the prior owner. That plan failed, so Borders took to video tutorials to educate himself on the proper technique. “Knowing when to add the sugar was the main thing that I needed to learn,” Borders said. “We went to one event and that was a complete failure. After that I went to YouTube.” This will be Grampa Steve’s fourth year at Rapids River Food Fest. Borders will pop roughly 100 pounds of kernels during Rapids River Days. When Borders arrives at the park to set up, he

will sterilize his equipment prior to his first batch of popcorn. Once prepped, Borders will pour 8 cups of kernels and 4 cups of oil in his 64 quart kettle. The large iron cauldron could hold more, but part of the enjoyment for Borders is letting others watch. “You can’t get too much (in there) otherwise it pops out,” he said. “There are a couple of different ways of popping. I pop where people can look at what’s happening during the process. Others pop with a cover on, and then you don’t get to see exactly what is happening because the cover has an automatic stirrer and so on. They just dump it into the sifting tray where we like to show the people this is how it’s done.” As the mixture reaches popping point, Borders adds sugar – all while continuously stirring. Then, he salts and pours the mixture onto a sifting tray. “Adults as well as the kids like watching,” Borders said. “The younger kids really think it’s intriguing to see what is going on; they see corn come flying out. ... They get a Borders uses mushroom popcorn (left) versus theatre popcorn. Mushroom popcorn forms a round ball when kick out of it.”
The kernels in one batch will pop enough to fill nine of Grampa Steve’s plastic bags. But, this is not your typical popcorn. “We use what is called a mushroom popcorn,” Borders said. “What happens with mushroom popcorn is it pops in a round ball. If you use theatre popcorn, it has ears that come out on it. (Mushroom popcorn) is the true kettle popcorn. Others will make kettle corn using theatre popcorn because it is less expensive, but we like to keep it that nice, big round ball.” With a shelf life of up to 10 days, Borders shared a tip for those looking to prolong the summertime favorite into the cooler months. He said kettle corn can be frozen for consumption at a later date. He has sampled corn four months past the day it was made. “You’d think it would get soggy,” he said. “I think with that sugar hardness shell and everything that has happened there, it stays nice and firm. After a couple months, it’s like it just came out of the popper. So, we try to tell peo-

ple that later in the season if you like it, buy an extra bag, take it home, freeze it and save it for later.” Summer adventures and meeting new faces has always been the intent of owning the kettle corn business, but as Borders

District raises school meal prices
10-cent increase to cover equipment upgrades BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Meal prices for students and staff are increasing at the start of the 201920 school year across the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District. Student lunch meals will see a 10 cent increase. Students at the elementary levels will be charged $2.65. Middle and high school students will pay
$2.90 for lunch. All breakfast meals kindergarten through 12th grade will remain free. The dime upcharge will be replicated for adult meals. Adult breakfast will cost $2.35, and the adult lunch will be $3.95. “The district has not changed the meal prices since 2017,” said Andi Johnson, director of business services. District administration hopes the increase will help with equipment upgrades in each of the building’s kitchens in the future. In other school board news:
- Johnson presented the 2018-19 revised budget and the 2019-20 budget for final board review. The general fund balance as of July 1 was $37,759,344. With $61,583,211 in revenues and $67,593,408 in expenditures, the district ended the year with a balance of $31,749,147. The 2019-20 budget has $61,750,392 in projected revenues and $63,467,081 in projected expenditures, leaving an ending balance of $30,032,458. Superintendent Aaron Sinclair invited
the public to attend one of three open houses where facilities options will be presented based on community feedback from the listening sessions and surveys administered by the district this past spring. The sessions take place from 3-7 p.m. Tuesday, June 25, at Rice Elementary School in Rice and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, at the Sauk Rapids Government Center in Sauk Rapids.
ADA approved County enacts policy to improve streets, continue funding BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – A policy that was to have been adopted in 1991 has finally been put in place following a unanimous vote from the Benton County Commissioners June 21. The board approved the Benton County Public Works ADA Transition Plan which addresses how the county will bring its road right of way in compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act which was enacted July 26, 1990. Although ADA transition plans were expected to be created and administered at that time, many agencies are behind of schedule to establish transition plans; however, this does not mean they have not been working to upgrade their right of ways to compliance. Still, federal funding could now begin to be withheld if a transition plan is not in place. ADA transitions will not be immediate; most will be done at the time of major road reconstruction. During the process, right of way aspects were inventoried and ranked in three groups: fully compliant, substantially compliant and non-compliant. Twelve of 271 pedestrian curb ramps and two of four signalized intersections were found incom-

Green and The following list is not incluGrowing in sive but contains many plants Benton County we often see in our flower gardens. Monkshood, also known as wolfsbane, has beautiful purple or white flowers that resemble the hood of a medieval monk. Lily of the valley has a lovely smell and small white flowers that hang down from stems in between two wide leaves plus small red berries later in the growing season. All parts of both these plants are poisonous, and if the flowers are cut and displayed indoors, the water in the vases will become contaminated with poison. The leaves and stems of the castor oil plant contain only small amounts of poison, but the seeds are lethal if eaten. Foxglove is grown commercially for manufacture of digitalis, a heart medicine, but eating the blooms or seeds straight from the plant can be fatal rather than helpful. Wisteria, a lovely vine with pendulous, purple flowers, will cause stomach upsets if eaten by humans and more serious conditions if eaten by pets. Lilies, as in Easter lilies, daylilies and other varieties are also potentially lethal for pets. Dieffenbachia, a common house plant, is also dangerous if eaten and may cause skin irritation when touched. Gardeners may be familiar with squirrels who dig up newly planted bulbs and then leave them on the ground or eat them. The squirrel can smell the bulbs, but somehow knows that daffodils are poisonous while tulips are not. Both of these bulbs should be protected with hardware cloth or chicken wire laid flat on the ground and fastened down after they are planted in the fall to keep them from being dug up. Dogs that like to dig may encounter and eat these bulbs and then become sick. Hydrangea plants contain small amounts of cyanide, but a large amount of the blossoms would need to be eaten before they become fatal. Oleander can cause drowsiness, slowed heart rate and shaking. Rhododendron and azalea are also highly toxic. Eating the flower, stem or leaf can cause abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, paralysis, coma or death. An online computer search will show a long list of plants that are harmful if eaten or may cause skin irritation if handled, such as rhododendron, philodendron, bleeding heart, mistletoe and poinsettia. Most gardeners know that while the rhubarb stems make delicious desserts, eating the leaves may cause the kidneys to shut down which will eventually lead to death. Potato flowers, vines and stems are harmful while the potato itself is safe to eat except for any green areas just under the potato skin. There are safe to eat flowers in the garden such as pansies and roses, but it is best to eat only the safe parts of the vegetables in your garden. Plus, wear gloves and then wash your hands thoroughly after weeding and enjoying the flowers in your garden. Linda G.

Bill will remain in business name Tax statement for city owned property to be issued to leasee BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
RICE – Tax statements for city owned property will remain in a leasee’s name following correspondence with Benton County. The issue was discussed at the Rice City Council meeting June 17. The city and county disagreed on tax statements being sent to Prairie Farm Company Inc. earlier this spring for two city parcels (R15.00108.01 and P15.90600.00). Prairie Farm Company leases the parcels from the city, growing a crop and offsetting the city’s cost of maintaining the land should a crop not be planted. According to Benton County, per Minnesota statute, it is required that if a tax exempt piece of land is being leased out for taxable purposes it must be set up as a separate parcel and be taxed directly to the person
leasing it. City staff understands why the paperwork was sent to the leasee, but Rice City Council members and staff remain concerned with paying taxes under another entity’s name. “It just worries me,” said Rice Mayor Brian Skroch. “Because it seems like at some point in time this could come back to bite us; that (the tax statement is) not in our name. … It’s such a goofy thing because we own the property, but yet we don’t get a tax statement on it. Obviously, it’s because we’re tax exempt and we’re renting it out, but what if taxes go up on it 20%, 10% or 15%. Then we’re better off letting it sit and do nothing. ‘Cause then it’s tax exempt.” Prior to Monday’s meeting, the council was concerned the property no longer showed the city of Rice as the owner. Rice clerk Julie Fandel put that notion to rest. Fandel assured the council that although the tax statement reflects Prairie Farm Company, the property is listed as owned by the city in all other instances.
“If you look up that ID, it doesn’t exist,” Fandel said. The council discussed how they need to be informed of proposed taxes prior to settling on an annual lease agreement. According to Fandel, the auditor-treasurer office said it could send a copy of the tax statement each spring if requested. Kampa suggested Fandel contact city auditor Jon Archer, of Schlenner Wenner & Co. in Little Falls, to see how other city’s have handled the situation. In other council news: - Approved a gambling for permit for Immaculate Conception Church for Summerfest July 21. - Approved the summer city newsletter. - Approved splitting
the $8,000 repair cost of Sixth Avenue Southwest between four funds. Maintenance, utilities, compost site and street will all be charged $2,000 for the repairs. - The city continues to discuss signing city hall, the police and fire station. Originally the council had planned on putting new lettering on the building, but a suggestion was made to spend more money on a boulevard sign. Fandel will bring multiple options back to the council at a later date. - Read into the minutes a thank you from Benton County Sheriff Troy Heck. The thank you was written to the Rice Police Department for assistance with a call in Rockwood Estates June 4.

Hunstiger, Olson take the Metro Bus around city BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – People riding the Metro Bus Sauk Rapids route No. 21 May 30 had surprise guests. Sauk Rapids Mayor Kurt Hunstiger, Sauk Rapids City Administrator Ross Olson, St. Cloud Metro Bus CEO Ryan Daniel and Nate Ramacher, St. Cloud Metro Bus marketing manager, were on board the bus for the duration of the route to visit with passengers and learn more about the bus system. “I have been trying to hit all of the departments in the city,” Hunstiger said. “I have been with police and fire so far, in addition to the Metro Bus. I am working on getting with public works to go to the water tower. I feel it’s important to connect with everyone.” Hunstiger and Olson hopped on the bus at the downtown St.

Sauk Rapids Mayor Kurt Hunstiger (from left), St. Cloud Metro Bus CEO Ryan Daniel and Sauk Rapids City Administrator Ross Olson stand in front of a bus operated by Metro Bus May 30 in St. Cloud. Hunstiger and Olson rode the hour-long bus route No. 21, which covers Sauk Rapids.
Cloud transit station at 1:15 p.m. that day., They commuted throughout Sauk Rapids for one hour before ending the trip. Route Nos. 21 and No. 22 cover Sauk Rapids, mirroring each other and running in opposite directions. Each of the two routes averaged 12 riders per hour during the month of April. “I was surprised with the area it covers,” Hunstiger said. “I thought the route was really good
and hit all parts of town. When I ride next time, I think I want to get on at a busier time though, so I can visit with more people.” Hunstiger was the second mayor in the area to take a ride on the Metro Bus system. St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis was the first. “We appreciate Mayor Hunstiger taking the time out to ride the bus and interact with our frontline employees,” Ramacher said. “It is always nice for our operators to get face time with important people in the
community.” As mayor, Hunstiger wanted to ride the bus to understand the logistics and experience of public transportation, but he also rode because he holds a position on the St. Cloud Metropolitan Transit Commission Board. “I make decisions on the board, but I had never been on a bus,” Hunstiger said. “I felt it was time to change that. I don’t think riding changed my perception for either of my positions, but I enjoyed the experience and have a
greater understanding.” It interested Hunstiger to learn of the vast number of reasons people ride the bus. During his tour, commuters used the public transportation system to visit the pharmacy, attend appointments and hit the gym. “We had one rider that was on for maybe three minutes,” Hunstiger said. “She came from her home to the gym, and it was neat to see.” Hunstiger poised himself at the entrance of the bus and made a point to greet each pas-
senger. “It was important to me that everyone coming and going on the bus knew who we were and why we were there,” Hunstiger said. “It shocked people when we first introduced ourselves. It was fun to see the people’s reactions to what we were doing.” Hunstiger plans to take another tour on the bus to focus on the Sauk Rapids community, but is open to other routes. “The Sauk Rapids routes hit the majority of our demographics in the city, but I would probably consider getting on the bus to go to Crossroads, the VA or St. Cloud State,” Hunstiger said. “It was a great experience, and the bus was comfortable and convenient. I would definitely ride the bus personally in the future as well, especially when I retire in a few years. I don’t know why I wouldn’t ride the bus, but right now, my schedule is too busy going from meeting to meeting.” Hunstiger plans to pay closer attention to the routes now that he has ridden the bus. “I would have to inquire and investigate any route changes in the future and ask some important questions,” Hunstiger said. “I’d want to know why they changed and if we will miss anyone because of those changes. I want to make sure we can provide this service to as many peoSauk Rapids Mayor Kurt Hunstiger talks with a passenger on the Metro Bus May 30 ple as possible.” in Sauk Rapids. Hunstiger chose to ride the bus for the experience and to visit with passengers on reasons they ride the bus.

4-H day camp give clues to law enforcement duties BY ANN OLSON 4-H PROGRAM COORDINATOR
FOLEY – Benton County 4-H day camps have begun. The first camps took place June 4 in Foley and June 6 in Sauk Rapids, and had a crime scene investigation theme. During the camp, Sauk Rapids Police Department Chief Perry Beise and Foley police officer Bart Kothman along with captain Kyle Dusing, Benton County Sheriff’s Office detective, shared internet, phone and other safety tips. The children had multiple questions. Law enforcement shared how they dust for finger prints, look for clues and investigate crimes. Kids wanted to know details of what the officers and detective do for their respective jobs. A couple students
asked how they could become a police officer or county detective. The kids had fun getting their mug shots taken, getting fingers printed, setting up a crime scene and solving a crime scene. Participants even tried on fatal vision impairment goggles. The camp was planned by Tori Halverson, 4-H summer intern. Kayla Belanger and Sophia Janorschke, Benton County 4-H summer assistants, along with 4-H ambassadors helped lead each of the day camps. The Foley day camp had over 80 kids attend; Sauk Rapids had nearly 60. Additional day camps take place this summer. Contact the 4-H and Extension office at 320-968-5077 for details.

Rice students to receive backpacks with school supplies ST. PAUL – This summer, 25 students from Rice will receive new backpacks stuffed with school supplies through the Bremer Backpacks initiative. Made possible by Bremer Bank’s expanded partnership with United Way, this firstof-its-kind initiative ensures more than 5,000 children in need across the Upper Midwest will be equipped to tackle the upcoming school year. During the week of June 10, hundreds of Bremer employees volunteered in shifts to assemble the backpacks at the company’s Service Center in Lake Elmo. Stocked with classroom essentials including crayons, markers, colored pencils, notebooks, pocket folders, glue sticks, scissors, pencil pouches, erasers and pencil sharpeners, backpacks were distributed to more than 65 Bremer locations throughout its footprint in greater Minnesota, western Wisconsin and North Dakota.
Launched in conjunction with Bremer’s 75th year in business, the Bremer Backpack initiative represents the company’s philanthropic mission – originally stemming from founder Otto Bremer – to invest in the communities they serve. This initiative also follows Bremer’s recent rebrand, in which a new logo and website were launched to signal the bank’s focus of meeting its customers where they are and in a way that provides value to them. “For 75 years, Bremer Bank has defined its purpose as helping our communities grow and prosper,” said Jeanne Crain, president and chief executive officer of Bremer Bank. “We are proud to continue this commitment through the Bremer Backpack initiative and are thrilled to have a such a dedicated partner in the Greater Twin Cities United Way.”
Perryman selected as 2019 ATHENA Award recipient ST. CLOUD – The Women’s Fund of the Central Minnesota Community Foundation has selected Bernie Perryman as the 2019 ATHENA Award recipient. Perryman was chosen for the award because of her leadership and dedication to strengthening the community. The mission of the ATHENA Award is to recognize and honor central Minnesota women who have achieved excellence in their careers and who inspire others. Criteria for selection include: demonstrates excellence, creativity and initiative in her business or profession; provides valuable service by contributing time and energy to improve the lives of others in central Minnesota; and actively assists women in realizing their full leadership potential. With a long history of workplace excellence and a tireless work ethic, Perryman has been blazing trails since 1982 when she began her career in beer sales for AnheuserBusch. At the time, she was one of six women out of 2,000 field sales representatives.
Bernie Perryman
Over a 34-year career in the beer industry, Perryman rose through the ranks as the first female sales director climbing all the way to the role of president and chief executive officer of C & L Distributing, the Anheuser-Busch Distributorship in central Minnesota. In 2016, Perryman’s entrepreneurial heart led her to acquire the Batteries Plus Bulbs franchise in St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids where she continues to achieve excellence while growing the business. Outside of her career,
she has been active in community groups including the St. Cloud Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, CentraCare Health Foundation, American Cancer Society, United Way of Central Minnesota and St. Cloud Economic Development Authority. Perryman has been known to mentor young female professionals as they develop skills for the business world and help them become more involved in their community. ATHENA Award selection committee chair Lisa Maurer said, “Bernie Perryman was chosen for the 2019 Athena Award as she exemplifies all that this award stands for. Bernie has worked diligently in her career and as a community volunteer; improving lives, strengthening organizations and impacting our community in many positive ways.” The award presentation will take place at the Central Minnesota Community Foundation Annual Dinner Sept. 10 at the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud.

Farmers may be eligible for assistance ST. PAUL – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is rolling out its new Dairy Assistance, Investment and Relief Initiative program to provide financial assistance for dairy producers who enroll for five years of coverage in the United States Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Dairy Margin Coverage program. “Minnesota farmers are the cornerstone of our state’s economy,” said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. “We know this has been a tough year for agriculture, and our dairy farmers need our support. I’m proud that our budget secured $8 million for the Dairy Assistance, Investment and Relief Initiative to make sure our farmers can continue doing the work they love and providing for our state.” Applications to the program are being accepted through Oct. 1. In order to qualify, farmers must have produced less than 160,000 hundredweight of milk in 2018 and have signed up for five years of coverage through the DMC program during its enrollment period between June 17 and Sept. 20. The MDA will issue payments on a rolling basis. Producers can expect to receive their first payments roughly two to four weeks after successfully applying. They will be paid based on production levels, up to 50,000 cwt. of milk produced in 2018. An application form, a W9, a copy of their DMC enrollment form and a statement from their processor(s) detailing the amount of milk produced in 2018 are required to complete an application. Producers may receive a second payment this fall after the application period has ended, depending on remaining funds. Additional information and the application forms are available at https://www.mda.state.mn.us/dairi.
Dairy Margin Coverage signup began June 17 WASHINGTON – Signup began June 17 for the new Dairy Margin Coverage program, the cornerstone program of the dairy safety net that helps dairy producers manage the volatility of milk and feed prices, operated by the United States Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency.

The 2018 farm bill allowed USDA to construct the new DMC, which replaces the Margin Protection Program for Dairy. This new program offers protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all-milk price and the average feed cost (the margin) falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer. “In February, I committed to opening signup of the new Dairy Margin Coverage program by June 17,” said Sonny Perdure, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. “I am proud to say our FSA staff worked hard to meet that challenge as one of the department’s top farm bill implementation priorities since President Trump signed it last December. With an environment of low milk prices, high economic stress, and a new safety net program with higher coverage levels and lower premiums, it is the right time for dairy producers to seriously consider. … For many smaller dairies, the choice is probably a no-brainer as the retroactive coverage through January has already assured them that the 2019 payments will exceed the required premiums.” The program provides coverage retroactive to Jan. 1 with applicable payments following soon after enrollment. At the time of signup, dairy producers can choose between the $4 to $9.50 coverage levels.

Call to order by Chair Bauerly was at 9:00 AM followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Popp/Peschl unanimous to approve the amended agenda—add item: resolution to approve eminent domain along CSAH 2. Rick Kampa (Zimmerman) appeared under Open Forum to express his concerns with boundary line problems in an area along Sharon Place in Watab Township. Todd Waytashek (5900 – 5th Avenue NW, Sauk Rapids), Watab Township Supervisor, was also present, stating that the township is very interested in resolving boundaries in this area along Sharon Place since the township needs to make road upgrades; the location on the road relative to its right-of-way is in question. Waytashek noted an opportune time to locate the marker may be during the August draw-down of Little Rock Lake. Monty Headley, County Administrator, pointed out that the County Board will be meeting tomorrow with Jay Wittstock, County Surveyor, to discuss the possibility of forming a Boundary Line Commission that would help resolve this dispute. Heinen/Buerkle unanimous to approve the Consent Agenda: 1) approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of May 21, 2019 as written; 2) adopt 2020 Budget Development Calendar and Budget Development Guidelines; 3) appoint Jane DeAustin to the Board of Adjustment for the term January 1, 2017-December 31, 2019; 4) approve extension of recording deadline for a minor final plat entitled “Walz Addition”—to August 18, 2019; 5) approve request of St. Elizabeth Church for a one-day 3.2 beer license for the annual church bazaar on June 23, 2019; 6) approve renewal applications for County On-Sale and Sunday Sale liquor licenses for Molitor’s Quarry Grill & Bar and Coyote Moon Grill & Lounge, and authorize the Chair to sign; 7) approve entering into a three-year contract with St. George Township for assessment services starting June 11, 2019 through April 30, 2022, and authorize the Chair to sign; and approve a local assessing contract for St. George Township with Erik Skogquist for assessment years 2020, 2021 and 2022, and authorize the Chair to sign; 8) approve a local assessing contract for Glendorado Township with Erik Skogquist for assessment years 2020, 2021, and 2022, and authorize the Chair to sign; and approve a local assessing contract for Maywood Township with Erik Skogquist for assessment years 2020, 2021, and 2022, and authorize the Chair to sign; 9) approve 2019 Boat and Water Safety Grant, and authorize the Chair to sign; 10) approve Resolution 2019#16, accepting donation to Sheriff’s Office DARE Program from the Drug Awareness Resistance Education Fund of Central MN Community Foundation, and authorize the Chair to sign; and 11) approve Resolution 2019-#17, adopting a 0.5% local option sales tax for transportation to fund the completion of projects as set forth in the resolution, with collections of said local option sales tax to commence October 1, 2019, and authorize the Chair to sign. Chris Byrd, County Engineer, explained that, as part of the reconstruction project on CSAH 2 near Little Rock Lake, the County needs additional highway easement to be able to construct the roadway and increase safety. He stated that the Public Works department has been negotiating in good faith with landowners to acquire necessary permanent easements; it is in the best interest of the public and the environment to reconstruct this portion of the roadway at the same time the DNR is lowering the water level on Little Rock Lake. Byrd stated the need to start eminent domain proceedings while continuing to negotiate with landowners until the point a hearing is necessary. Popp/Peschl unanimous to adopt Resolution 2019-#18, a resolution to file the necessary petitions for eminent domain along CSAH 2, and authorize the Chair to sign. A public hearing to consider the minor final plat entitled “Bambenek Addition” in Sauk Rapids Township, submitted by Jason Bambenek, was opened at 9:20 AM. Roxanne Achman, Department of Development Director, stated that the request is to plat three single family lots in Sauk Rapids Township; the owner intends to build a home on the remaining 22 acres. She noted that access to the property will be from 17th Avenue NW and the extension of 16th Avenue NW; extension of the road will need to be coordinated with Sauk Rapids Township. Achman stated that the township did provide written approval of the preliminary plat; the City of Sartell has also reviewed the plat and has no concerns. With no one present wishing to address the County Board, the public hearing was closed at 9:22 AM. Peschl noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the plat. Peschl/Heinen unanimous to approve the final plat of “Bambenek Addition” as recommended by the Planning Commission, and authorize the Chair to sign the final plat. A public hearing to consider the minor final plat entitled “St. George Corners—North” and the minor final plat entitled “St. George Corners—South”, submitted by Doug and Lori Lezer, was opened at 9:25 AM. Achman explained that the request includes two cluster subdivisions/two plats, with three single family lots in each plat along County Road 25. She stated the landowner’s desire to reduce the size of these lots to preserve crop land to the extent possible; all lots will have shared access with another lot. Achman noted that cluster subdivisions have many of the same regulations as a residential district; there are no feedlots within 660 feet. She stated that there were some concerns expressed by residents over the lot sizes and the number of lots for this area; however,

the lots meet the requirements as outlined in the Development Code. Addressing the Board at this time was Jim Studenski (5115 – 75th Avenue NE, Sauk Rapids). He stated a concern with the southern plat, stating “now we have to look at three houses across the road”. Studenski also referenced two proposed driveways on the south section, stating his belief that the driveway across from his own driveway should be removed. There was no one else present to address the Board; the public hearing was closed at 9:32 AM. Achman confirmed that the driveway referenced by Studenski will be removed and the new locations will be installed. Peschl reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the plat. Popp/Peschl unanimous to approve the final plats of “St. George Corners—North” and “St. George Corners—South” as recommended by the Planning Commission, and authorize the Chair to sign the final plats. A public hearing to consider approval of Ordinance No. 474, adopting the 2040 Benton County Comprehensive Plan, was opened at 9:33 AM. Achman reported that this is the final stage of the Benton County Comprehensive Plan update; an open house on the Plan was held May 8th and the Planning Commission recommended approval on May 23rd following the public hearing. Lance Bernard of HKGi provided an overview of the Plan, which sets a 20-year vision, provides a framework for local decision making, and provides guidance for landowners and developers. He reported on general themes of the Plan, along with the Land Use, Transportation, and Parks and Trails components. Bernard commented “…we’ve come to the conclusion that we want to pare back a little of the highway commercial along Highway 10 between Rice and Sartell…there are some existing residential neighborhoods along the Highway 10 corridor that we don’t see changing over time…one of the recommendations for the County Board to consider today is to just remove and scale back a little of that highway commercial so that it doesn’t overlap with those existing neighborhoods…it’s a very minor change…” Achman clarified that the parks chapter in the Plan will succeed the existing master plan for parks. There was no one else present to address the Board; the public hearing was closed at 9:44 AM. Peschl commented “…I’d like to commend Roxanne and Lance…they’ve done a very good job…” Several Board members stated their agreement. Buerkle commented “… there’s some things in here that I personally don’t like… most of it I agree with…I’d like to put in an objection to the energy part…this is a political issue…I don’t know that it belongs in a comp plan…the legislature did not pass the Governor’s recommendation this time…are we taking a stance that we disagree with the legislature and go along with the Governor…but I don’t want to throw the whole thing out because of that issue…I’d like the record to clearly show that that is my concern…” Achman noted that the Development Code update will be another opportunity to discuss this issue. Peschl/Heinen unanimous to approve Ordinance No. 474, adopting the 2040 Benton County Comprehensive Plan, with the recommended change to redefine the highway commercial areas along Highway 10, and authorize the Chair to sign. The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:50 AM to conduct a Human Services Board meeting. The Regular County Board meeting was reconvened at 9:59 AM. Nicole Ruhoff, Public Health Nursing Supervisor, explained that the draft Tobacco Retail Licensing Ordinance is complete and the template letter for vendors has been drafted. She provided an overview of the proposed changes to the Ordinance as follows—updating definitions to meet standard state and federal definitions, proximity to schools, sampling prohibited, instructional programs, minimum price and packaging for cigars, price promotion, and increase minimum purchase age to 21 (T21). Peschl/ Popp unanimous to recommend a date for the public hearing on the ordinance (July 16, 2019). Bob Cornelius, Human Services Director, requested Board approval to request an evaluation of the Human Services Office Support Specialist position for possible reclassification. He outlined a number of changes to the position since the last class and comp study which was completed in 2008. Bauerly referenced the class and comp study which the Board approved at their last meeting. Cornelius stated his desire to have this position evaluated prior to waiting for the study to occur. Heinen commented on the importance of having trained staff at the front desk. Buerkle/Heinen unanimous to approve the request for evaluation of the Human Services Office Support Specialist position. Troy Heck, County Sheriff, reported that Benton County and the MN Department of Corrections have had a very successful partnership in running the Sentence to Service program; this program provides an STS crew leader for Benton County; the leader provides the supervision duties for up to ten crew members/inmates for up to 40 hours per week, training and transportation of the crew and reporting of activities. Heck stated that the new proposed two-year contract would take effect July 1, 2019 and expire on June 30, 2021; Benton County’s total obligation under this contract is not to exceed $142,621.60 (a cost increase of $11,025.84 or 8.4% over the cost of the 2017-2019 STS contract). Heck stated that the STS program plays an important part in reducing incarceration costs incurred by Benton County by providing jail time credit and court fine credit to eligible, non-violent offenders who work on community improvement projects in Benton County. Also present at the meeting were STS supervisor, Vic Moen and STS crew leader, Darin Williams. Moen reported that the STS program has run for over 20 years in Benton County; under the current contract which began in July 2017, the STS crew performed over 10,000 hours of labor; over 6,000 of those hours were county projects. Board members had several questions—how the townships are charged for STS crew services, revenues generated versus county costs. Moen noted
that the STS program has changed over time; he personally feels this program should be expanded across the state. Heck stated his agreement that the program is invaluable both for the county and the community and also for the offenders. Peschl/ Heinen unanimous to approve the Sentencing to Service contract renewal for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021, and authorize the Chair to sign. Don Daraskevich, MCIT Risk Management Consultant, appeared before the Board to present the 2019 MCIT Board report. He explained that MCIT is a joint powers entity where members pool resources to provide property, liability and workers’ compensation coverage, risk management services and loss control services; 81 of 87 Minnesota counties are in the MCIT program and over 380 other county-related entities are also served. Daraskevich provided an overview of the history of MCIT, dividends returned, property/ casualty and workers’ compensation claims for the period 2014-2018 (claim frequency/claim severity), 2019 coverage enhancements, and MCIT consultation services, training and the employee assistance program. Bauerly requested workers’ compensation claims data (frequency and severity) specific to Benton County. Monty Headley, County Administrator, presented two proposed leases for office space in the Eastgate complex in East St. Cloud; two suites are located in the Eastgate III building at 451 East St. Germain Street, while a third suite is located in the Eastgate II building at 425 East St. Germain Street. Headley stated a cost of $12 per square foot plus CAM (Common Area Maintenance) costs for years one and two, with years three through five subject to a 3% adjustment; lease term is five years. Headley referenced several sections in the agreements, including fiber connection and janitorial arrangements; the County Attorney’s recommended changes have been incorporated into the lease agreements. Bauerly commented “…this may or may not be a long term solution…I would have liked to see a three-year with a two-year option to renew…” Popp stated “…I find it kind of ironic that he went after a 3% increase right away for years three, four and five when we know how long these buildings have been sitting there…” Buerkle commented “…there’s no better lease an owner can get…I think that whoever is sitting in these chairs two years from now should be starting to develop plans as to where they want to go with this…” Heinen added “…I would have to agree with Commissioner Buerkle…if it actually works out after the first two years…I think we need to look long term then…” Peschl/Popp unanimous to approve five-year leases with Eastgate II, 425 East St. Germain and Eastgate III, 451 East St. Germain, and authorize the Chair to sign. Headley requested formal approval of the East Gate remodeling plan as presented. Motion by Buerkle to approve the remodeling plan and start-up budget for the suites in Eastgate III. Second by Heinen. Bauerly stated “…my concern is what if the owner has a 20% mark-up in there…” Popp commented “…I’m just a little worried about the potential add-on costs…we’ll have no way out after we sign the lease…” Bauerly stated that he would like to see two bids. Headley noted that the building owner used his architect to develop these remodeling estimates; no contractor has been selected yet. Heinen agreed that the Board needs to have “hard numbers”; perhaps include a contingency in the lease agreement approvals of receiving two bids. Peschl suggested contacting the County Attorney’s Office for advice. Heinen stated “…it’s general practice to get two or three bids…as long as one of the two bids are below or equal to the numbers we have in front of us, then we would have a sense of assurance that we know where we are going to be…” Headley summarized “…sounds like we want approval of the lease to include language that says the building owner shall obtain two bids for building renovations…” Headley suggested that the Board may wish to rescind approval of the leases until the new language is included and a new lease is brought back to the Board. Bauerly suggested that the motion on the floor be amended to include subject to final approval of the remodeling bids. Peschl amended his previous motion to include approval of the two lease agreements, subject to receiving two bids for the remodeling project at Eastgate III (as long as the bids come in at, or under, the estimate provided by the building owner, the Administrator may approve the lowest responsible bidder). Popp, as second, was in agreement with the amended motion. The amended motion carried unanimously. Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county. Under Commissioner Concerns, Commissioner Popp reported that Sherburne County officials have invited the Benton County Board to a workshop in June to discuss the Elk River Watershed Association. Peschl/Heinen unanimous to set Committees of the Whole: May 31, Central MN Freight Forum; June 11, Workshop with Sherburne County Officials to Discuss Elk River Watershed Association (moved to June 25); June 13, Quarterly Business Report Review; and August 6, Employee Service Recognition. Peschl/Popp unanimous to conduct a closed session of the County Board (at 11:35 AM) under MN Statutes §13D.05, Subd. 3, to develop or consider offers or counteroffers for the purchase of real or personal property; subject property is a 1.69 acre parcel (Parcel ID 130112300) within the City of Foley and adjacent to the Benton County Courts Facility property. The County Board returned to open session at 11:45 AM. Popp/Heinen unanimous to adjourn at 11:46 AM. _____________________________________ A.

Mehrwerth masters Granite City midwest mod main ST. CLOUD – Ashley Mehrwerth took advantage of Bud Martini’s misfortune mid-way through the WISSOTA midwest modified feature to race to her first feature win of the season on Meet the Drivers Night at Granite City Speedway June 16 in Sauk Rapids. Mehrwerth, who started outside of the front row, was running a solid second when race leader Martini and a lapped car made contact, forcing him out of the lead and elevating Mehrwerth to the top spot. Mehrwerth then went on to lead the remainder of the event to hold off fourth starting Brennen Gave by three-tenths of one second and eighth starting Travis Schulte for her first win of 2019. Tom Gill and Andy Mayavski rounded out the top five. Dustin Holtquist started on the pole and led wire to wire to take home the WISSOTA mod four feature win which was his second in as many nights. Holtquist beat fifth starting Keith Thell to the finish line by a little over two seconds with Jamie Flickinger, Justin Pogones and Dean Larson rounding out the top five at the line. Jake Smith continues his torrid season as he raced to another WISSOTA Hornet feature win ahead of Justin Schelitzche, Joe Wilber, Zach Besmehn and Carter Rieland. Smith started seventh and sliced his way through the field to the lead and then never looked back. Schelitzche was only a half a second behind when the checkered flag flew, but Smith picked up the win. Shane Sabraski also continued his hot streak as he raced from ninth to win the WISSOTA super stock over Don Eischens, Kurt Becken, Doug Koski and Dexton Koch. Sabraski, who finished fifth in his heat race, tore through the pack on his way to the front with Eischens in tow. The two charged from the fifth and seventh rows, respectively, to be the first two to cross under the checkered flag at the night’s end. Sabraski also raced his No. 7A modified to victory on Father’s Day by coming from the eighth starting spot and passing heat race winner Dan Ebert in the process. Ebert won the heat that Sabraski finished second in, but Sabraski turned the tables in the feature by beating Ebert to the front after the duo started in the fourth row together. Sabraski beat Ebert to the finish line by just over three-tenths of one second

Twins should look to bolster pitching via trades Here we are, June 20, and the 48-25 Minnesota Twins have the best record and run differential (+110) in the American League. We are rapidly approaching the all-star break which means the July 31 trade deadline is right around the by ANDY THAYER corner. While many teams Sports Columnist are internally debating whether they should be buyers or sellers over the next month, things are crystal clear for the Twins. They have a nine game lead in the American League Central division and, according to Baseball-Reference.com, a 98.9% rate of qualifying for the postseason. They should absolutely be looking at themselves as contenders and trying to add players via trade who can help this team make some noise in October. Pitching depth is going to be of paramount importance for this Twins team over the next few months. They have been incredibly fortunate in terms of starting pitching health so far this season, but the odds of that continuing are slim. The team would be wise to develop some sort of contingency plan. Jose Berrios, Jake Odorizzi, Kyle Gibson, Martin Perez and Miguel Piñeda have all thrown over 75 mostly-effective innings so far, but things could get ugly if one more of those guys hits the injured list for an extended period of time. Devin Smeltzer or Kohl Stewart could make an effective spot start or two in a pinch, but I do not want those guys anywhere near the mound in a high-stakes late-season game. The Twins are also pretty thin in the bullpen. Taylor Rogers has been sensational all season, and Ryne Harper, Trevor May, Mike Morin and Tyler Duffey have generally been effective. After that, it gets ugly. Blake Parker and Matt Magill have struggled, Trevor Hildenberger was demoted to the minor leagues and recently shelved with an injury, and Adalberto Mejia, Zack Littell and Fernando Romero have gotten lit up like Christmas trees. This Twins team would be foolish not to add another dependable bullpen arm before the trade deadline. Remember last year when the struggling Twins traded guys like Ryan Pressly and Fernando Rodney to contenders for mid-tier prospects? Those are exactly the kinds of trades the Twins should be targeting this year – only we will be on the other side of the deal. The Twins decided not to pay sticker price for Craig Kimbrel or Dallas Keuchel, and that is fine, but it also means they are now going to have to sacrifice farm system depth in order to add quality players over the next month or so. The good news is the organization is loaded with talent. Top prospects like Royce Lewis, Alex Kirilloff, Brusdar Graterol, Trevor Larnach, Brent Rooker and Wander Javier will likely be off-limits in trade talks, but I would not be shocked to hear names like Lewis Thorpe, Blayne Enlow, Jhoan Duran, Gilberto Celestino, Jorge Alcala and Jordan Balazovic bandied about in negotiations. You have to give something to get something, and the opportunity the Twins have in front of them this season is a rare one. I am definitely not saying the Twins should mortgage the farm to add a relief pitcher. All I am saying is that it would be a shame for the Twins to lose a first-round playoff series to the Yankees or Astros because their third and fourth bullpen options got torched. The Twins are in a great spot right now. After 73 games, we know they have an excellent team that scores boatloads of runs and is capable of beating anyone. By filling out the margins of the roster and adding pitching at the trade deadline, the Twins could essentially take out an insurance policy that will prevent this rare opportunity for postseason success from being ruined by the team’s lack of pitching depth getting exposed in October.

The Sauk RapidsRice High School clay target team completed its season with scoring 471 of 500 points at the 2019 Trap Shooting Championship June 13 at Alexandria Shooting Park in Alexandria. The meet is a qualifying meet for
the Minnesota State High School League Clay Target Tournament June 21 in Prior Lake. Caleb Kull and Emily Schreindl led the males and females for the Storm, tallying 95 and 78, respectively. Four other SRR participants – Dylan Geiselhart, Frank White, Zach Lewis and Justin Scheeler – scored
94. Lewis and Scheeler also earned 25 straight honors at the meet. “The day went well overall,” said Paul Fiereck, head coach. “The team is poised to take it to the next level, and we are close to being able to get there and compete at the state championship. Next year, we have plans to make some changes to be able to accomplish that.”
The team had several personal best scores in Alexandria, many from the 11 graduating seniors. “We have a great group of athletes who will fill the gap of our 11 graduates,” Fiereck said. “They will be great mentors for the freshmen class next year.”

Uneventful victory Post 254 baseball defeats Becker 1-0 BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
A first inning run was the extent of the action for Post 254 in the June 18 road game against Becker. Post 254 had a run in from Brady Pesta, coming off a grounder to left field from Trygve Hanson. “They are probably the team with the least talent out of everyone we play, but they are pesky,” said Paul Wippler, head coach, of the Becker team. “They keep us on our toes, but it was a very uneventful game.”
we need to know what we are doing,” Wippler said. “We had some weak approaches, and we were not aggressive.” The Post 254 pitching was the saving grace that earned the victory.
