Concerned citizen Emilie Hendrickson brought the needs of stop signs to be placed at the intersection of Second Avenue NE and Third Street NE. Currently yield signs are in place, but Hendrickson’s concern was the number of buses and trafÀc which do not yield to students and pedestrians in the area.

“I’m just afraid you’re going to have to clean up a kid and nobody wants to do that.

I’d hate to see anyone’s kids hurt,” Hendrickson said.

Rice Police Chief Ross Hamann commented that he received other complaints about trafÀc in the area as well and that, because of the nature of the area, it has been hard to observe for himself.

“If you see a police car in plain sight, you’re going to obey,” he said.

SAUK RAPIDS — Ashley Keller is a Hotmess Mom. Like many young mothers, post-pregnancy weight became a burden to Keller.

After gaining excess pounds during the pregnancy of her son Jaxon, and shedding only minimal amounts as his Àrst birthday inched closer, Keller’s lifestyle weighed her down. At least until her second pregnancy.

That’s when Keller took charge, changed her life and in the process brought along other moms and children with Hotmess Moms Fitness and Tiny Tots Play Dates and Fitness Group. The two groups allow mothers to exercise and get Àt with their children—no need for sitters or childcare.

“When I found out I was pregnant again, I was afraid I would gain the same amount of weight I did with Jaxon and not be able to lose it. So I decided to start drinking protein shakes and working out,” Keller said. “It was a big wake-up call. It wasn’t where I wanted my life to be. My energy was lower and with having young kids you need that.”

As the pregnant, full-

The city was awarded a SCORE grant of over $10,000 from Benton County to improve existing parks with picnic tables, trash receptacles, benches, bike racks and more.

The city also plans to seed the area west of the ballÀelds to create the green space in their current plan. According to city council member Brian Skroch, excess monies will be reserved for funding other park improvements and projects like disc golf baskets.

Currently, the Rice Parks Board is seeking community input for their long-term park plans. Those residents who have not yet Àlled out the survey, may locate a paper copy at city hall or online at http:// www.cityofrice.com.

Giving back, one project at a time

Correction

by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – Students in the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District are all about giving back where they can. Recently, students at the high school Ă€nished a global service project to help provide clean water for people in Ecuador. “The kids really felt that this was an important topic. It’s been in the news a lot lately – places that don’t have access to clean water – and the kids just thought that would be the worst thing ever,â€? said Maria Burnham, media specialist and project coordinator at Sauk RapidsRice High School.

During their global service project, students raised $834.37 through a change war. Each grade level had a bucket and was competing against other grades. “If you had change in the bucket, that was points forward, but if somebody put a dollar bill in the bucket, it counts for 100 points backward. It was fun to watch the grades go up against

each other,� Burnham said. “You wanted to put change in your bucket and bills in the other grades’ buckets.�

The students did the project through the WE Day organization and it was one of several projects they could have done.

The WE Day organization focuses on two different areas.

Throughout the year, students from around the nation participate in WE Schools, a movement of students and educators who believe that some of the most powerful learning experiences happen when you make a meaningful difference in the world.

The other focus is on WE Day, one day each fall where students come together and listen to motivational speakers and celebrities talk about the importance of giving back. Students from around Minnesota will travel to the Twin Cities for the event, as there is one for each state. “It’s a day-long pep rally that’s very motivational and there are lots of celebrity appearances,� Burnham said.

“The students want to go every year.�

In order to go to the event, students have to complete one local and one global service project. In the fall, the students cleaned up the high school campus. “They seem to have a focus on being environmentally friendly, based on the projects they’ve done this year,� Burnham said.

Sauk Rapids-Rice has been involved with the WE Day program for three years and is about getting kids involved with service projects.

Burnham emphasizes the saying on the main high school entrance – enter to learn, depart to serve. “For us, having service projects like the one we just did means giving every kid a chance to serve others and for our students to realize the impact of helping other people,�

Burnham said. “It’s a really important lesson. We plan to continue being involved with WE Day for that reason.�

Larson marks 30 years as café owner

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

RICE — Mark Larson celebrated his 30th anniversary of owning the Old Creamery Café last Thursday. Larson, who took over sole ownership of the restaurant from Woody and Dee Anderson in 1986, has outlasted many restaurants which were in business at that time including: the Country Inn, Andy’s Supper Club, Dialhouse Pizza, the Redwood Inn, the King’s Supper Club, the Portside and the Pirate’s Cove.

“When I came here it was unbelievable the amount of food that was being sold in the area,” Larson said.

Although places have closed for various reasons, the Old Creamery Café owner says in order to make it in the food industry, businesses need to make themselves destinations.

“If you aren’t a destination, they aren’t coming anyway. How many times have you driven past a place and said we should try that sometime. When somebody decides to go out for dinner, you better be one of the three places they think of,” he said.

Mark Larson, the owner of The Old Creamery Cafe since 1986, celebrated 30 years of business last week. The restaurant is named for it’s location in the Rice Creamery building.

Larson said in order to remain in business he’s changed his menu many times and had to Ànd new ways to attract customers.

“You just keep working it. You can talk about the food, the service and a lot of those things but you have to keep re-inventing yourself,” Larson said. “Today you have to be diversiÀed.

OPINION

Letters to the Editor

River parks clean-up will make a difference

Bill Haider, Marlene Haider, Mark Hauck, and Marilyn Patterson on behalf of SR Green

SR Green commends Jessica E. and Siena R. from Mississippi Heights Elementary for their call to clean up Sauk Rapids (letter to the editor in the March 24 Herald). SR Green will do its part with our annual clean up of the Sauk Rapids river parks on Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We start at the promenade in Lions/Southside Parks on River Avenue. Bags will be provided. Everyone is invited to participate.

The residents of Sauk Rapids are fortunate to have such amazing river parks, which draw many visitors including those using the Mississippi River Trail. Let’s keep them clean for all to enjoy.

As Jessica and Siena noted, we can make a difference just by picking up a little trash around our community. Please join us.

If you have questions contact saukrapidsgreen@gmail.com.

Whose timing is it anyway Recently I have heard testimony after testimony of just the right timing. Sometimes it starts with a feeling and the feeling is confirmed right away. For instance, a friend of mine was wanting to start up their social work after many years. She was wondering if it could be the right time. She called up SCSU and they let her know it could take six months plus to retrieve transcripts and even longer to retake the necessary test. “What is your name?” The office asked. After enterBy Mercy Nygaard ing into the computer my friend’s name, the office responded to her, “Your transcripts are right here and the test can be scheduled at your convenience.” As if that wasn’t enough indication that the timing was right, my friend’s niece had taken the exact test she needed to and had all of the books and materials for her studying needs.

Sometimes it is over the simplest things. This last weekend I heard a speaker at a women’s church event tell a story of how she bought her dress for a specific event that was coming up. She was feeling a little bit blue, but was about to have a very busy schedule so she felt it was now or never to shop for the dress she needed. Her sister convinced her to get out and that she would help her. The speaker finally found a dress that would work and it was on sale. It was originally $350 on sale for $97. Still more than she wanted to pay, this dress actually worked and fit her needs. When they got to the register, the associate rang up the dress with a bewildered expression, and she quietly said, “Well, it’s the store’s fault I guess.” “So how much is it?” The speaker and her sister asked. “It is one cent,” the associate replied and reassured her it was ringing up at only one cent. The humorous portion of the story was that the speaker searched her purse and could not find one penny, so her sister insisted on buying her the dress. At a time when she was struggling to find joy, her and her sister now laugh over their shopping experience quite often.

These stories remind me of how we averaged one showing a week for seven months when we were trying to sell our home, but it wasn’t until the one couple had finally sold their house after three years, that they were finally able to make an offer on our house they had seen three years prior. Those seven months seemed very long and tested our diligence. We wondered if that nudge we felt to list our home for sale was even the right thing to do.

But God knew. He knew our family was going to grow. He knew He wanted my friend back pursuing the social working field and knew the speaker needed some unexpected joy while dress shopping. They could have easily ignored those intuitions but when God has a plan for you and you answer that calling, there is nothing that can stop it. What is it that He wants for you? What is it that he is nudging you or whispering softly in your ear to do? Faith takes action. Sometimes the only action is prayer and you better believe that prayer is action. You guessed it, those people in these stories prayed and sought the Lord first. You will need it for when it is time for you to step out in faith and ultimately, the opposition moves in, trying to discourage you and steal your joy. When you are all prayed up, take that step and do it while continuing in prayer without ceasing. 1st Thes. 5:16,17,18, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Life by Faith

Enjoying the journey It is a fabulous time to reflect on the school year and to celebrate our children, graduates, families and communities. We think about the first days of school, friends, report cards, conferences and numerous events we have attended throughout the school year. We are able to cherish the obstacles, opportunities and growth. Our children and students are growing so fast, and soon by Dr. Daniel Bittman they will be out into the world. While Superintendent’s Corner we are excited for them and about their successes, we are also hesitant and curious about the journey.

Each year, I reflect on the successes of our children and community, and feel fortunate to have the opportunity to attend various celebrations including, but not limited to those with the Early Childhood, Kindergarten, Fifth Grade, STEPS, Adult Basic Education and our High School graduates taking part Sauk Rapids-Rice commencement exercises. Every individual has a story to tell, is able to communicate how he/she has overcome challenges, and how he/she is going to use his/ her successes to make a positive difference in our community and the world. I am humbled to serve as superintendent and am thankful to be part of Sauk Rapids-Rice.

Throughout the many end of the year celebrations, I observe tears, joy, frustration, love, passion, curiosity and a lot of laughter. The students often remind me about the importance of being true to oneself, and encourage me to take advantage of every opportunity, to live life with integrity and to enjoy every stage. Their energy is contagious and their futures are bright.

Families, community members, and graduates…congratulations on your success! These things do not happen by accident. Enjoy the next journey, continue to learn, and be proud of Sauk Rapids-Rice. Thank you for being a part of the STORM. Because of you, we have a bright future!

Obituaries

James Broda one of ten friends who created the Pine Edge Sportsman, Inc., a softball complex north of Sartell that continues in operation. Together Jim and Karen enjoyed daily walks and visits to the coffee shop. They also enjoyed antiquing and Àlling their home with their treasures. After retirement they traveled around the country making annual winter trips to visit family members in San Diego and Florida. Road trips were always a favorite activity whether it was a day trip or a ten-week trip from coast to coast.

Jim was a kind, gentle, and caring person who displayed a great deal of compassion for others. He was never in a hurry and found enjoyment in the simple pleasures of life.

Jim lived graciously with his illness never complaining and always appreciative of the assistance of others. There are special people in this world chosen to be teachers to the rest of us through their journey. Jim Broda was one of those special people who taught us how to live with dignity and grace in the face of adversity.

Jim is survived by his

loving wife and caregiver, Karen Petron-Broda, Sauk Rapids; children Tim (Jane) Broda of Sartell, Debi (Steve) Laakso, Sauk Rapids, and Craig (Cheryl) Broda, South Haven; stepson Sean (Rebekah) Mitsein, Lafayette, Ind.; grandchildren Alysha, Taryn, Amanda, Michael, Selah, Baylee and Jozie; great-grandchildren Aubrey, Miya, Mason, Madison, Theodore, and Loretta; sister Joann (Andy) Heinen, Sartell; brothers and sisters-in-law, John, Sharon, Kurt, and Sarah Belinski: nephews and nieces; and all the Cekalla cousins.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 2 p.m. on Fri., April 22, 2016, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Opole. Father Tony Kroll will ofÀciate. Burial will be in the church cemetery. Visitation will be on Wednesday from 4–8 p.m. at the Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Home in Sauk Rapids and one hour prior to the service at the church on Friday.

Memorials are preferred in lieu of Áowers. Please consider a donation to the Quiet Oaks Hospice House where staff and volunteers lovingly cared for both Jim and Karen through the Ànal stage of Jim’s journey here on earth. Jim’s Ànal gift to the world is the donation of his brain tissue to the Brain Support Network in hopes of gaining knowledge and Ànding a cure for the devastating disease he so graciously endured.

He explained that the operator is proposing to expand a Tier 1 (50999) animal unit feedlot in Benton County within the Agricultural District (from 217 animal units to 492 animal units). Janish stated that the MPCA requires that a public meeting be held for large feedlots in non-delegated counties before they can issue a permit; a land use permit from the county for the construction of the facility is also required. He stated that the Schlichting’s have noticed within the paper for the proposed expansion; the operators are proposing approximately two additions onto the existing structure as part of the project: • About half of barn 1 is farrowing crates with a poured reinforced concrete shallow pit under the crates. Manure from those crates is pumped internally through the barn into the big pit under barn 2. The balance of barn 1 is ofÀce, storage and a maintenance room.

• Barn 2 is all farrowing crates and there is an 8-foot deep poured reinforced concrete pit under this facility.

• Barn 3 is all gestation crates and there is an 8-foot deep poured reinforced concrete pit under that facility.

• The 40’ x 320’ proposed building will all be gestation crates and there will be an 8 foot deep poured reinforced concrete pit under the entire structure.

• The 46’ x 80’ proposed building will be all farrowing crates and there will be an 8-foot deep poured reinforced concrete pit under the entire structure.

• There are no other animal holding areas, lots, or manure storage areas on the site as all animals are kept inside the main complex.

Janish announced that any comments can be directed to Rhonda Adkins-Pollution Control Specialist, West Feedlot Unit, MPCA, 7678 College Road, Suite 105, Baxter MN 56425.

The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:25 a.m. to conduct a Human Services Board meeting.

Plemel’s hit provides late-inning heroics for Storm

by MARK KLAPHAKE STAFF WRITER

For the second time in just three games a Sauk Rapids-Rice Softball game came down to the home team scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning.

But fortunately for the Storm, this time they were on the winning end.

Sydney Plemel’s single drove in Bailey Becker from third base and the Storm edged the St. Cloud Apollo Eagles 6-5 in their Central Lakes Conference matchup April 19 in Sauk Rapids. Last Friday, SR-R lost to Willmar in a similar fashion.

“It was a good game,” said SR-R Head Coach Ken Karna. “There were a lot of hard hit balls.”

The game went and forth.

The Storm jumped ahead 2-0 in the Àrst when Megan Ackerman and Staci Meyer both scored. Apollo tied the game in the second and then took a 3-2 lead in the top of the Àfth inning.

The Storm came right back with three runs in the bottom of the Àfth inning.

Meyer, Ackerman and Jill Oldakowski each scored for SR-R. Apollo tied the game with a run in the sixth and

seventh innings to tie the game.

Becker led off the seventh with a triple and then with one out was brought home by Plemel.

Oldakowski, who batted ninth for the Storm, was terriÀc at the plate, going 2-3 with two doubles.

“She did a good job of keeping the momentum going to the top of the order and Staci. That was huge,” Karna said.

For the second straight game Ackerman drove in three runs.

“When we get in clutch situations, she gets the job done,” Karna said.

Sammy Patton pitched 5 2/3 innings and Beccah Kelash pitched 1 1/3 innings.

Patton struck out nine batters.

The Storm played their Àrst home game on April 15, and came out with another win, routing the Willmar Cardinals by a score of 6-4.

SR-R is undefeated 3-0 on the season.

After three Cardinal runs in the top of the Àrst, SR-R bounced back, scoring two runs off a base hit from the bat of Lucas Bentrud.

“We did really good at bringing in runs in scoring position and taking advantage of Willmar’s mistakes,” said Bentrud.

In the bottom of the third, the Storm tied up the game with a hard hit ball to second base from Bentrud that forced a Cardinal error and a sacriÀce Áy from Brady Posch.

What is your favorite thing to do on the Àeld? On the weekends most of our team meets up on the Àeld, turns up the music and hits out of the tunnel for hours. Seeing the ball Áy like it would in a game is much more fun than hitting in a cage.

Tell us about the most memorable baseball game you’ve ever been a part of. The summer before sophomore year we traveled to Brainerd for a playoff tournament, our whole team played really well and it was the best hitting experience I have ever had.

Who is your favorite professional baseball player?

Mike Trout, because of how humble he is and caring to others, even though he knows he’s one of the best in the game.

What has been your favorite high school class to date?

Junior year I was in advanced team sports with a bunch of athletes in the school and friends, every day we competed and had fun.
