Oktoberfest season has all but passed by, but for Merle J. Felling of Sauk Centre, old-time music is for the whole year. While ballrooms and bands are not around as much as they used to be, he keeps the spirit alive through his concertina playing, and he is preparing for the next Sauk Centre old-time music concert Nov. 19.

Winters Family Chiropractic acquires radial pressure wave machine

BY BEN SONNEK | STAFF WRITER
inters Family Chiropractic, of Sauk Centre, has a new tool for patient relief: a radial pressure wave machine, which uses targeted, rapid shockwaves to break up problematic tissues. Dr. Mark Winters has been using it for a few months, and the speed with which the device can improve a patient’s condition has been encouraging. “It’s been cool, seeing people lift their shoulder (not far) and then, when they get done with the treatment, lift it all the way up,” Winters said. “It’s been eye-opening as far as helping muscle work, incorporating massage and chiropractic. It gets so much deeper than hands.” Winters considered adding the radial pressure wave machine about a year ago, after he moved his business from Sinclair Lewis Avenue to 1008 Main Street South in Sauk Centre and remodeled the space. He had been reading about its efficacy with soft-tissue injuries like scar tissue and fibrous adhesions. The technology has been around for some time. “Muscles are supposed to move freely between each other, and they’ll get fibrous adhePHOTO BY BEN SONNEK sions that restrict the muscles moving, which Dr. Mark Winters brings out the radial pressure wave machine Oct. causes pain,” Winters said. 27 at Winters Family Chiropractic in Sauk Centre. Winters has had the device since mid-July, and it has treated between 30 and 50 patients so far.

The Schirmers family of Sauk Centre found the best “Buy two, get one free” deal. After the family’s first two daughters, Paige and Miah, joined the Alexandria Swim Club, parents Dave and Missy Schirmers received the opportunity to let a third child join the program for free. So, then-7-year-old Stella Schirmers began hopping into the pool as well and quickly found it to be an enjoyable setting. A decade later, senior Stella is putting the finishing touches on a dominant swimming and diving career, with the Section 6A meet to be held Nov. 9-11 at Tech High School in St. Cloud. “It’s the most stressful but also the most exciting part of your season,” she said. “In a way, it’s more stressful, but again, more exciting, knowing that it’s your last swim. You have to give it all and you want it to be your fastest.” Growing up, Stella wanted to do whatever her older sisters did, eventually taking her to the Sauk Centre swimming pool, home of the Sauk Centre Streeters. She kickstarted her varsity career as a seventh grader in 2018, soaking in all she could from the program’s veteran swimmers, which included her sisters, Kali and Kayla Sayovitz, Kali Uphus and Riley Engle, among others.

The drive collected $37,778 in 2022 and is aiming to collect $40,000 this year. Not pictured are Rick Jennissen, Mike Karasch, and Audrey Roering.
Felling from front When serving abroad in the Air Force from January 1971 through August 1974, Felling did not bring his concertina with him, considering how expensive it was, but he wishes he had. When he returned from Okinawa, Japan, he was able to return to taking performance bookings, starting in the middle of August; his mother, Elsie Felling, had taken bookings for him while he was deployed. His bookings continued through the early 1990s, but by then, ballrooms were no longer as popular as they used to be. “We played all over central Minnesota,” Felling said. “In those days, there were a lot of bands. One time, I think there were 26 old-time bands out of New Ulm alone. … This area, on a typical weekend, you could usually hit two to three old-time dances within a half-hour drive.” Felling cut a record, “Merle Felling and his Concertina Band,” in early 1981. The record featured Felling and Rueben Nathe, Louie Schley, Bob Salisbury and Dan Reisner, and it was available on LP records, CDs and eight-track and cassette tapes. He sold many of them in the fivestate area but never made another record. Today, Felling keeps in touch with fellow concertina players, including Joe Carlson, Marlene and Kevin Gwost, Marc Hinnenkamp, Ross Leach, Donnie Brang and the Rev. Marv Enneking. Felling plays for a couple of events per
month, including area Oktoberfest celebrations in September and October and for seniors in assisted living facilities, but some of his friends play for 2030 jobs a month during the summer and fall. Felling currently has four concertinas, two of them tuned to C major and the other two to B-flat major. One of the B-flats is a musette, which has more of a wavy tune, like a button box accordion. Felling’s favorite is the 1981 C-tuned custom concertina built in New Ulm by Bill Brown, one of the largest concertina distributors in the world. “The concertina is more like a harmonica (than an accordion),” Felling said. “You pull and squeeze, and you have two different notes, like a
NEWS BRIEF WACOSA project receives CMAB grant
FOLEY — The Central Minnesota Arts Board, during their Oct. 12 meeting, awarded a total of $224,881 in support of thirty-two regional arts projects. Among those grants was $6,466 for teaching artist Dan Mondloch to work with WACOSA clients in a variety of art painting methods customized for each client. Paintings chosen by participants will be used to develop two wall murals to be displayed at WACOSA in Sauk Centre. Applications were scored by a panel of artists, nonprofit administrators and members of other community groups. Panel scores are provided to the CMAB board of directors and used in determining how to allocate funds. Criteria used in evaluating applications include artistic merit and quality, equity and sustainability, demonstrated need and ability to complete the proposal. Organizations, schools, local government, community groups and individuals can apply for up to $8,000 in support of arts-focused events. Funding for these CMAB Grants is provided through an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the state’s general fund and its Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund created by Minnesota voters.

button box accordion. Typically, with the accordion, if you pull and squeeze, you get the same note, and you’ve got the piano keys.” It does not take much to keep a concertina maintained. “I just played Marlene’s Pearl Queen (Concertina), built in 1932,” Felling said. “You tune them, and as long as you keep them in dry conditions and out of the heat or humidity, they’ll hold a tune for 20-30 years.” For anyone interested in learning how to play the concertina, the most important advice Felling can give is to practice, practice, practice. That was the case with his friend, Jerry Bierschbach. He bought Felling’s concertina when Felling returned from deployment and bought a different Hengel concertina. “He wanted to know, at the time, if he could get as good as me,” Felling said. “I said, ‘Jerry, you
just practice every day for at least the first year, and you’ll get as good or better.’ Today, he is far better. He averages about 20 engagements per month.” Felling started holding old-time music concerts in Sauk Centre in 1998 in the Sauk Centre Public Schools gym, and he is looking forward to this year’s concert from 2-5 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 19, in the Margaret Shelby Theatre in Sauk Centre. The event will feature The Riverbend Dutchmen, led by Kris Keltgen. With over 50 years of experience under his belt, Felling enjoys entertaining fans with old-time music, the genre that got him playing the concertina in the first place. “When the people enjoy it, you can play all night long,” Felling said. “‘Swedish Waltz’ was my theme song. I’ve probably played it 3,000 times now, along with many, many others.”

Life Hacks
It’s Halloween morning as I write this, looking outside to a light coating of snow on the ground. It makes me think of the Halloween Blizzard of 1991, a three-day storm that dumped tremendous amounts of snow on most of the region. Anyone who is old enough to remember it can tell you where they were and Random Reflections what they were doing, much Part II by Diane Leukam like other major historical events. People who were young at the time remember their trick-or-treating being affected in a most dramatic way. The National Weather Service map of the storm’s snowfall totals put Sauk Centre in the range of 20 to 30 inches. Amounts were even heavier not far from here; people east of a line from St. Martin to Albany and Holdingford were in the range of 40 to 50 inches. This is not a Halloween column, though. By the time you read this, Halloween will already be behind us as Thanksgiving and Christmas loom ahead. Loom is a bit of a negative word. Let’s try “lie” ahead. The holidays can be a bit much for the Marthas of this world. We’ve all heard the story in Luke 10:38-42, where Martha is working her tail off serving people while her sister, Mary, sits at the feet of Jesus and listens to him speak. Martha has had enough and complains to Jesus, “Tell her to help me!” First off, she could have used her manners and said “please.” Maybe that would have gotten her better results, because Jesus said in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, and it will not be taken from her.” It turns out the better part is to worry less about the details and be present to people who come into our homes. I definitely fall into the Martha category, though, and the reality is holidays are a lot of work. Even though — or maybe, because — Don and I love to entertain, the angst of trying to do things “right” weighs on me. For example, we had company Sunday evening in our home where we’ve been for only six weeks. There were both kids and adults, and it was pretty casual. We’re still working out the logistics of this different space, so afterwards, I was going over every aspect of the evening in my mind. What went right and what was not quite perfect? What could or should I have done differently? What will I definitely change next time? A Martha could drive herself crazy worrying about everything. One thing I was obsessing about was that I should have had more things for the kids to do. Then, the perspective I needed in the first place came to me loud and clear. While I worried a teenager might have been bored, there were kids their ages around the world grieving or suffering from war. While I worried the food wasn’t quite ready, there were those who are homeless and hungry, addicted and lost. You name it, the struggles are out there. OK. Now, I can approach the holidays with a more relaxed perspective. I can and will strategize ahead of time but try to focus more on enjoying the crowd from the moment they burst into the door. As my mom used to sing, “Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be.” There is one thing I must take care of soon, though. One of the youngest grandsons is apparently worried about Christmas because we’re in a different place than last year. He asked his mom, “How are we going to have Christmas this year with no basement to open gifts?” Oh buddy, we need to talk.

The confirmation exercises followed the conclusion of 40 hours devotion at OLA with the pastor, Rev. John Fearon, assisted by Rev. John Vanderboer of Ward Springs, Rev. J. Schirmer of Osakis and Rev. Henry Warmers of West Union. Bishop Busch held the confirmation exercises over several services at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.; he also celebrated Mass at OLA at 8 a.m., distributing Holy Communion to several hundred parishioners. 50 years ago Nov. 1, 1973 Little Red School House moved to Sauk Centre The Little Red School House, formerly located in District 92 between Padua and Sauk Centre, was moved last Friday to the future site of the Sinclair Lewis Information Center, just north of the Interstate 94 interchange, and will be furnished as a school museum.

The department’s major changes to the project involved shortening its limits; the
$3.5 million project will now go from the intersection with County Road 186/12th Street to Pine Street North. Transportation officials have been working closely with an advisory committee on the Highway 71 project for the past year and a half, implementing a process to bring historic preservation and other community concerns together to meet the traffic needs of Highway 71 and preserve the original character of the Original Main Street Historic District. 10 years ago Oct. 31, 2013 Residents to vote on school levy Sauk Centre’s school
district is asking voters to extend the current operating levy another six years during the levy referendum election from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 5 in the Sauk Centre Public Schools auditorium. Under the old formula, the district levied for 1,156 pupil units for 2012-2013, reflecting resident students weighted under a complex formula that had kindergarten students at 0.65 of a full pupil unit and high school students at 1.3 of a full pupil unit. Under the new formula, the district and levying is based on a more accurate 960 pupil units and seeks to levy $1,310.76 for a period of six years, same as the current 2008-2014 levy.

Ambulance Kostreba wins 2023 service upgrades Trailer for a Cause for ALS transfers Felling Trailers auction benefits Pockets of Hope

Felling Trailers, Inc., conducted its 11th annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to benefit non-profit organization Pockets of Hope. A winning bid of $5,505 won the auction that ended at noon Sept. 15. The bid winner was Joe Kostreba of Sauk Centre.

Community contributes to mitigate budget shortfall BY BEN SONNEK | STAFF WRITER
The Sauk Centre Ambulance Service is upgrading their rigs so they can provide Advanced Life Support transfers to other hospitals, no longer needing to bring in ambulances from other communities. The price for these upgrades came in higher than expected, but community support has helped narrow the financial gap. “The main benefit to our community is that, when a 911 medical call comes in and it is something serious such as a possible heart attack, full code or trauma patient, and there is a paramedic on call or available to respond, that patient can receive more advanced airway assistance and medication that can help save their life or pain medications to provide pain relief,” said Kathy Struffert, SCAS director. “It will also reduce the wait time for ALS transfers as they can have us paged out and they do not have to wait for a CentraCare rig to come from a neighboring service area.” The SCAS has had a specialized ALS service license since the 1990s, which meant the Sauk Centre hospital, which was then St. Michael’s Hospital, could send a nurse on these transfers, during which the nurse would be able to administer any medications or drugs to the patient. In a Basic Life Support service, the ambulance crew cannot administer certain drugs or medications. When CentraCare acquired the Sauk Centre hospital, they followed the system which was already in place. However, the CentraCare legal team recently advised against sending nurses on ALS transfers because of potential liability issues, so the hospital has been calling in ambulances from CentraCare EMS with their rigs coming from Long Prairie, Willmar and Paynesville. “With our upgrade to ALS, we can now take back our ALS transfers and the revenue that goes with that, as long as one of our paramedics on our crew is available for that transfer,” Struffert said. We currently have three paramedics on our roster. If none of them are available, the hospital would then still need to call in the CentraCare EMS, but we are hoping that does not happen very often.” The ambulance service already has three experienced paramedics on their crew, so they were ready for the change on a personnel level; they were mostly concerned with acquiring ALS equipment and finding places to store it on the ambulances. There will be some training with EMTs to acquaint them with the extra equipment, and paramedics will be working with them so everyone understands what is expected from them. Not much needed to be done to upgrade the ambulances for ALS transfers. The only additions needed to the existing rigs were Knox boxes, containers for the ALS drugs, medications, Magill forceps, more specific and advanced airway equipment, larger-bore IV needles and intraosseous needles which can start IVs into a trauma patient’s bone. The Sauk Centre City Council recently approved the purchase of a new 2025 Ford rig to replace the ambulance service’s 2015 Chevrolet rig, and no changes will need to be made to that aside from moving the Knox box from the old rig to the new one. “We already had the Lifepacks that show the patient’s heart rhythm, so that was an expense we did not need to incur with this update,” Struffert said. The ambulance service had about $10,000 budgeted for the upgrades, but as costs started adding up, the actual price fell in the $25,000-$30,000 range. To help with the cost, Struffert met with a local organization representative to write out a grant request; when the ambulance service did not qualify, the representative suggested Struffert see if any area entities had unused COVID-19 resources they needed to spend. The ambulance service sent out donation letters to the townships they served, community groups and some city businesses, with the goal of raising about $18,500. So far, they have received nearly $10,000. Struffert is looking forward to the ambulance service being able to provide better service to members of their service area, as well as any guests or tourists. “There is a sense of pride to be part of an Advanced Life Support service,” Struffert said. “We can run ALS or BLS to any hospital that meets the needs of the patient’s illness or injury.”

Sauk Centre swimming/diving team takes second at conference meet Sauk Centre BY EVAN MICHEALSON | STAFF WRITER
Staring down a solid all-around West Central Conference field, the Sauk Centre girls swimming and diving team strung together strong swims even amidst an exhausting postseason training regimen, finishing second out of five squads with a score of 503 at the conference meet Oct. 27 at Montevideo High School in Montevideo. “We work on race strategy all the time and I thought they swam and executed their race strategies,” said James Schreiner, head coach. “They swam smart, they swam prepared races. I’m encouraged by that.” Melrose Area snagged first with a commanding 717 points. Finishing with the team’s lone first-place individual placements was Stella Schirmers, who hustled to a 1-minute, 3.63-second mark in the 100-yard butterfly for the top spot and earned first in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:02.48. “I’m excited to see her swimming so well even with the workload,” Schreiner said. “A lot of that is experience. She knows what to expect at the conference meet.” Sauk Centre also picked up first place and a key 40 points in the 400 freestyle relay, where the grouping of Pyper Vogt, Olivia Marsh, Maizie Jennissen and Stella Schirmers reached the wall at 3:51.28. However, the Streeters’ high finish was not because of event wins. The roster showcased its depth in just about every event, with second, third and even fourth swimmers scoring points in individual events and B relays getting on the scoreboard as well. “It wasn’t just a race of who’s going to take first place; for us, it was a meet of, ‘Where is our depth going to swim?’” Schreiner said. “Can we move people up? Can we win heats? That was our focus going in.” Marsh was one member of the Streeters who displayed versatility to provide essential multi-event depth. She took third in the 100 freestyle at 57.85 and fourth in the 100 backstroke at 1:07.33 while also anchoring Sauk Centre’s second-place 200 medley relay. “I see a kid who is getting more and more confident every time she swims,” Schreiner said. Freestyle positions remained a bountiful source of big-time swims. Pyper Vogt and Carmen Loxtercamp earned second and sixth in the 50 freestyle, respectively; Maizie Jennissen captured fourth in both the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle competitions; and Kiera Bjork dropped nine seconds off her previous best in the 500 freestyle. Brooke Bromenshenkel emerged as the runner-up in both the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke, while Addison Bick, Serena Middendorf, Abigail Eiden, Violet Anderson, Jorja Novak, Makenna Barthel, Sylvie Schirmers and Livia Jennissen finished in the top 10 in an individual event. “It’s those swims down the line that don’t always get recognized but certainly make the difference for us in a meet like this,” Schreiner said. Next up for the Streeters is the Section 6A Meet, which will begin with swimming preliminaries at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, at Tech High School in St. Cloud. 200MR: 2.

Things were going right for the Sauk Centre volleyball team against the Cathedral Crusaders in the Section 6AA quarterfinals Oct. 31. Take, for example, the final play of the second set. Sauk Centre hitter Maddy Schuster moved forward toward the net right as a pass soared toward her original spot.

Undoubtable duo heads to state cross-country meet Sauk Centre athletes Drevlow, Linscheid thrive at section competition BY EVAN MICHEALSON | STAFF WRITER
What started as a fun story has shifted into a dominant season for Tori Linscheid. In the waning moments of her first varsity campaign, the seventh-grade cross-country runner for the Sauk Centre Streeters put together an unbelievable showing to keep her season alive, racing to fourth place with a time of 20 minutes, 6.91 seconds at the Section 6A Championships Oct. 26 at Long Prairie Country Club in Long Prairie. She joins fellow Streeter Jacob Drevlow in qualifying for the Class A Minnesota State High School League Cross-Country State Tournament. “I couldn’t be happier for her,” said Jim Metcalf, head coach. “To shave 40 seconds off an already-decent PR for the year, that was just phenomenal out of her. It was so much fun to watch her.” For Drevlow, it is the second straight fall season that will end at the state meet, a product of unmeasurable consistency and determination. Even as he attempted to battle back to full strength following an illness, Drevlow reached the finish line at 17:04.65, good for sixth place in the boys competition. “He’s a smart kid, he runs smart races and you can always count on him,” Metcalf said. “He always puts in the effort. He was texting me if he should come out to the weight room (the day after the meet). He always wants to keep it going.” While Drevlow’s ticket to state is punched, the Streeters boys team came up five points short of qualifying for the grand finale as a team, scoring a team total of 76, right behind Staples-Motley’s 71. Coming up just short of a season-long goal is a sting that will not go
away for some time. “It was hard for the boys and it was hard for me and Coach (Todd) Broich seeing they weren’t able to make it as a team,” Metcalf said. “They really set their goal right from the start of the year to make state as a team. Falling five points short was tough for them, they took it hard. But they’ll bounce back.” A positive from the bittersweet end to the team season was the performance of Logan Wiehoff, who was Sauk Centre’s second scoring runner with an electrifying 17:24.1 finish. The freshman concluded his race just five seconds and one placement away from qualifying for state and like Linscheid, dropped over 30 seconds off his previous best to make it happen. “That kid is gutsy,” Metcalf said. “He knows what he wants, and I saw that last year when he first made the varsity team. He runs with a lot of courage.” Reliable senior performer Devin Crawford-Klinnert posted a 16th-place outing with a time of 17:37.4, regular team scorer Neal Stadsvold sped to a 18:05.64 finish in 19th place and Logan Frank rounded out the scoring lineup with a 24thplace mark of 18:18.32. The Sauk Centre girls roster were not in contention for the top spot but still mustered a promising showing to build off of come next fall, taking seventh place out of 15 teams with a score of 188. “They worked hard to get there,” Metcalf said. “They were 11 points away from Long Prairie (for sixth). We were happy with the way the girls performed.” Finishing next after Linscheid was senior and renowned team leader Fran-

cesca Rivers, who hustled to a 22:10.22 finish in 34th place. After that, Sauk Centre’s scoring reflected the ability of their up-and-coming young core, as eighth grader Addison Sjogren and seventh grader Annie Harren earned 50th at 23:10.53 and 59th at 23:24.6 out of 110 runners, respectively. “They’re starting to see they have a lot of potential,” Metcalf said. “They see what happens when they put in hard work: there’s some good results. That’s starting to come through for a lot of them. Sophomore Abigail Mohs was the Streeters’ fifth and final scorer, registering a 62nd-place finish with a 23:45.3 race. Bertha-Hewitt and individual champion Zane Gunderjahn captured the boys crown with a score of 48 while Staples-Motley and individual winner Kyanna Burton seized first in the girls race at 39 points. Drevlow will compete in the Class A boys competition at noon Saturday, Nov. 4, at Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights. Linscheid will run in the girls race immediately after at 12:45 p.m. “This is a showcase of talent and both of them have the mindset that Jacob Drevlow set his pace early and maintains it at the Section 6A Championships Oct. 26 at Long Prairie Country Club in Long they’ll have good races,” Prairie. Drevlow finished sixth in the race and qualified for the Metcalf said. “I know that.” Class A Minnesota State High School League Cross-Country State Tournament.
