Construction begins on Second Street North SAUK RAPIDS — The third leg of a transportation project, presented nearly ten years ago after the construction of the Sauk Rapids Regional Bridge, is slated to begin May 31. The $13.2 million “3 Up the Hill” project will replace the current Second Street North with a four-lane roadway from Third Avenue North to Highway 10. Roundabouts will be placed at Sixth Avenue North and Summit Avenue and a trafÀc signal will direct Áow at the Stearns Drive intersection. According to Benton County Public Works Director Chris Byrd, the Àrst phase of construction will likely involve widening of the eastern portion of the CSAH 3 project to allow for underground electrical or storm/sewer work that will need to be completed prior to road work. Since the project involves city utilities, limited disruptions of city water supplies will occur when contractors install temporary water lines and switch back to new lines. The city of Sauk Rapids will be contacting residents regarding such disruptions. Questions about water or sewer service can be directed to Sauk Rapids Public Works Department at (320) 253-7780. During the completion of the project over the next year, the roadway will remain open to trafÀc as much as possible, but will encounter some short-term (less than two weeks) closures. The Àrst closure will start June 6 and last approximately one week. It will allow for utility work which crosses Second Street North. Most work on the roadway will occur during daylight hours Monday through Friday, with some occasional Saturday work. In order to minimize trafÀc or water/ sewer service disruptions, some work will occur at night. Construction will continue through the summer and should be substantially complete by fall 2016. Final landscaping and a second pavement layer will occur in the spring of 2017.

Get going and start doing Class of 2016 receives encouragement for future by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER ST. CLOUD — A high school graduation ceremony is a rite of passage that symbolizes persistence and dedication and it was no different for the 277 Sauk Rapids-Rice seniors who participated in commencement May 31 at Saint Cloud State University’s Halenbeck Hall. Superintendent Dr. Daniel Bittman congratulated the Class of 2016 and conveyed the seniors’ journey from elemen-
tary through this past year. “Life will not get easier. It will not slow down. And it will not get less complicated,” Bittman said. “However, you have a solid foundation, and you have the tools and skills to succeed.” As the evening progressed, salutatorian Brooke Lorentz brought a light-hearted cheer to the event, when she stopped to put on her Mickey Mouse ears before addressing her fellow

Black bear sighted near Rice by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
RICE — Bear sightings have been reported to Sauk Rapids Herald by residents who live outside the Rice community. Sightings have been reported from near both Benton County Road 12 and east of Benton Beach or 125th Street NW. According to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), although they have received reports of sightings in Todd, Morrison and Benton counties, none of these reported nuisance bears. Spring bear sightings have been common in the area for decades and the DNR said there is no evidence the bear population is increasing in Benton County. The DNR advises bear will take advantage of any foods available. They will attempt to eat anything that
resembles food in the look, smell or taste and attracted to homes by garbage, bird feeders, pet food, charcoal grills, fruit trees and gardens. They will return regularly once they Ànd a source of food. If a bear comes in your yard: • Don’t panic. Don’t shoot. Don’t approach. Most bears fear people and will leave on their own. If a bear woofs, snaps its jaw, slaps the ground or brush or bluff charges; you are too close. Back away slowly and go inside and wait for the bear to leave. • If a bear refuses to leave make loud noises or throw something to scare it away— but keep distance. Always allow the bear an escape route. A black bear which is surprised or believes it is cornered will attack a perceived threat.
• If bear is treed leave it alone. Remove both people and pets from the area until the bear has left. • Though bear cubs may look cute and cuddly, keep a wide berth. Generally black bears pose little risk of harm to people and will Áee when encountered. A black bear sow who senses her cub is in danger is an exception. Stay away to avoid giving the sow the impression her cubs are threatened. The DNR has the responsibility to reduce conÁicts between bears and people. The best way to avoid bear problems is to not attract bears in the Àrst place. If you have persistent bear problems or want more information on bears contact the MnDNR Wildlife OfÀce in Little Falls GRAPHIC SUBMITTED or area manager Beau Liddell For the last 10 years, black bear sightings are common during at (320) 616-2450 ext. 222. the spring near Rice, according to the DNR.

She talked about how favorite movies taught lifelong lessons of facing fears and seizing adventure. Realizing not every journey is smooth sailing, Lorentz reminded those to live by words of Dory in Finding Nemo. “Just keep swimming,” Lorentz said. “We will all have bumps in the road, but we should never give up.” Valedictorian Jared Timm spoke about the aggressive legacy the Class of 2016 was leaving behind and urged his classmates to continue on into life with the attitudes they have possessed in high school. “When teachers and parents look at our class, they see people who are going to go the extra mile to become better—
not just individually but as a whole,” Timm said. “I plan to keep our legacy going. I want us to stand out. I don’t want us to be the people who blend into the crowd. We should strive to be the ones who are recognized because of our outstanding achievements.” But perhaps the most heartfelt words were those from faculty speaker Stan Berg. The selected teacher spoke of how over the past year, the words “Go seniors” had been uttered into microphones endless times at pep rallies. Berg reminded the class that in a few moments they would forever be known as alumni before offering them two words—Go and Do—and changing the phrase to, “Go, Seniors.” “It’s time for you to go, but not just to leave.

SAUK RAPIDS – Quinlen Marshall has worked hard to get to where he is, a senior graduating in the top 10 of his class at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School (SRRHS). Marshall was also named as this year’s Commended Student in the National Merit program. In order to be recognized with this award, the student has to Ànish in the top 3 percent of students nationally who take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. “I was very honored to receive this because our graduating class is so full of leaders and people that have exceeded expectations in everything they’ve done. It’s an honor to be recognized as one of those top performers in our class,” Marshall said. “I could deÀnitely not do what I do without the people around me though.” SRRHS has been the home for many Commended Students over the years, but typically only one or two students per class are recognized with this award. “Quinlen has earned this

award through hard work and a commitment to excellence in all he does,” said Erich Martens, principal at SRRHS. “Regardless of the activity or class, Quinlen does his very best to perform at the highest level. As a strong scholar, he knows what it takes to increase his knowledge and has intentionally taken courses that will best prepare him for this exam and his future college goals.” Throughout his high school career, Marshall has been involved with concert band, pep band, wind ensemble, jazz band, pit orchestra, honor jazz band, honor concert band, Minnesota all-state band, Link Crew, basketball, football, baseball and National Honor Society. “I think being involved in all of these activities has really helped me because you have to be good with timemanagement,” Marshall said. “It was difÀcult with taking Advanced Placement (AP) classes the past two years, but we were all in this together. Most top-performing students are in multiple activities and we all watch out for each other. I have great connections with classmates and none of us are selÀsh about helping each other out with homework if you left early for an event.” Marshall came to the Sauk Rapids-Rice district through open enrollment in seventh grade and his younger siblings will follow. His younger brother, Adam, is at the middle school now and his younger sister, Holly, will transfer within the next few years.

Quinlen Marshall was named a Commended Student after he placed in the top 3 percent of the nation’s students on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test.
“We live in St. Cloud and should technically be going to Tech, but we made the choice to come here and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made,” Marshall said. “I met friends here that I’m going to have forever, but most of all, I’ve had experiences here that I don’t think I could’ve had at any other high school.” His experiences at Sauk Rapids-Rice will carry through to college at St. John’s University, where he plans to major in either music education or political science. “I know there’s going to be some night in college when I have a Ànal or something
big coming up and I know I’m never alone because I’ll always have this support group from Sauk Rapids and SRRHS has taught me that,” Marshall said. For Martens, recognizing students like Marshall is one of many things he loves about his job. “Recognizing outstanding student performances is one of the greatest pleasures of this position,” Martens said. “Quinlen has been dedicated and an accomplished student. He has worked hard to reach this level, so he is absolutely deserving of this award.”

who gave their last full measure of devotion in order to ensure that the freedoms that this country offers to all, would be able to be passed on to the next generation.” In addition to Sen. Fischbach’s speech, many others spoke to the crowds. Rice American Legion Commander Fred Segler advised, “freedom for our children must be preserved at all costs,” while Sauk Rapids VFW member Jerry Hovanes read the poem ‘Freedom Isn’t Free’ and gave a prayer.
“Help us to remember with reverence the valor and devotion of our departed comrades; not only those bodies that consecrate our country’s soil but also those who sleep beyond the seas and those who rest in places not known,” Hovanes said. The presentation of the colors, raising of the Áag, Pledge of Allegiance, the playing of “Taps,” a 21-gun salute, a moment of silence, and other music selections were also part of the programs.

SAUK RAPIDS – While all the seniors come together for the graduation ceremony, 40 Class of 2016 seniors celebrated early May 26. The Students Transitioning to an Educational Program for Success (STEPS) seniors had a celebration of their own, which included student recognition, snacks, refreshments and conversation.

Investigating deputies learned that prior to the accident, Turck crossed the center line causing the collision with Popp. It is believed inattentive driving contributed to Turck’s vehicle crossing the center line.

The Rice Fire Department, Rice Police Department, Minnesota State Patrol and Gold Cross Ambulance assisted the Benton County Sheriff’s OfÀce at the accident scene.

Four named Students of Excellence The 29th Annual Students of Excellence Banquet and Recognition Ceremony was April 27 at the River’s Edge Convention Center. In addition to individuals from Resource Training & Solutions and the Minnesota Department of Education, school board members, educators, parents and school administraby DR. DANIEL BITTMAN tors attended the event. The program for the evening Superintendent’s Corner included dinner, various speakers, a keynote address, a plaque/certiÀcate ceremony, and a photo session. More than 600 people attended the event honoring more than 150 students from throughout Central Minnesota. These exemplary seniors will soon graduate from regional high schools and will no doubt, go on to achieve great things. Criteria for selection to the Recognition Event were based upon recommended guidelines that included such things as academic performance, being a positive role model, and leadership. Resource Training & Solutions has been sponsoring, coordinating and supporting this event since 1987. Congratulations to Sauk Rapids-Rice honorees Lindsey Montag, Brooke Lorentz, Bailey Hennes, and Jared Timm for being selected as our Students of Excellence. You continuously represent Sauk Rapids-Rice well, serving as wonderful role models for our youth. Please take time to congratulate them and their families when the opportunity arises.

“I met a friend when I was young. He told me then, ‘Child be strong. Troubled times will surely come. But I will hold you in my arms.’” -Hilary and Kate Plainly, we do not know all things. We cannot protect our children every by MERCY second of every day, and we cannot NYGAARD possibly know if their little bodies will develop diseases. God knows all things Life by Faith from the end to beginning and I can’t imagine how difÀcult it is for Him to be there. Like the song quoted above by Hilary and Kate tells us, He is holding us, saying, “I didn’t want any of this for you, I know you’re troubled, but know that I am here, just look to Me.” Of course He can and does protect us. He heals the sick and it will drive us crazy and to the point of anger trying to Àgure out why some and not others. But know that it is all for the Glory of God. When Jesus healed the blind man, “Jesus answered, ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.’” -John 9:3 The world we live in today is a result that goes all the way back to Adam and Eve’s sin, Israel’s rebellion time and time again and our desire to worship the created rather than the Creator. Throughout the Old Testament you see God’s wrath, His grace and forgiveness. We must teach our children these truths. This understanding is what helps give people peace when their children rebel or tragically pass away in a car accident, lose battles with diseases or fall into the hands of a predator. Not just understanding that our world is fallen as a result of our own demise, but the fact that this is not our home and the faith this kind of peace brings is, “...the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1. There are thousands of God’s promises in the bible and we must have faith to carry on. Our heavenly hope is by far the best promise. Our heavenly hope: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Sarah. “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.” -Hebrews 11:13-15 If you are battling today in this world, be encouraged, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”

returns e s u Playho by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS — As some children are Ànishing their school year, others are beginning a new educational experience — and it starts with play. Playhouse Child Care Centers reopened a Sauk Rapids facility May 23. The new location housed within Trinity Lutheran Church’s building allows opportunities for toddlers, preschool and schoolaged children to receive care and learn through play. “We use Creative Curriculum which includes opportunities for creative art, music, science, language arts, cognitive development, large and small muscle development, outdoor exploration as well as general play,” said Jenna Peterson, Playhouse site director. “Our staff are continually observing and assessing children which allows them to develop a lesson plan based on the skills they are working on, as well as, the children’s interests at that time.” The organization, which currently serves roughly 360 children over Àve locations, is not new to Sauk Rapids

however. In fact, owners Melody Peterson and Diane Mendel call the town home and launched their business here nearly 25 years ago in August 1991. The former Playhouse location was housed in a building in downtown Sauk Rapids. Imminent domain for the Sauk Rapids Regional Bridge project caused them to relocate their Sauk Rapids enrollees in 2003 into their Sartell facility. “It wasn’t a good business decision at the time for us to relocate our business to another site in Sauk Rapids,” Diane said. “So we continued to serve Sauk Rapids families at our Sartell location and provided transportation to and from Sauk Rapids schools.” The thought of redeveloping in Sauk Rapids never wavered. When the economy improved and the demand for childcare grew, Mendel
and Peterson began their site search. “We did a search for probably two years looking for property,” Diane said. “We needed it to be suitable for childcare but also for outdoor play. There were a lot of buildings existing, but they weren’t suitable for our needs. We knew that Trinity had child care in the past and we got into contact with them and told them our idea. We found out they had two unused classrooms and were able to negotiate a lease.” But there was more. Not only did the facility have unused classrooms, it also had a National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) kitchen, cafeteria, gym and, of course — a playground. “This is a beautiful facility and it will be utilized for its intended purpose and Àlled with children.

#BeTheOne to end bullying
Local business challenges youth by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Independent Lifestyles sees bullying in their work with disabled adults. About 15 years ago, they knew they wanted to be leaders in the community and started working with schools, accessible parks, legislators and employers on disability issues. “I know that the education has really enhanced the
issues that people with disabilities face. Our mission is about showcasing that everyone contributes to the community,” said Cara Ruff, Executive Director of Independent Lifestyles. Last year, they started the #BeTheOne challenge, focusing on youth to be the one to end bullying and bring about change by including people with disabilities. “It’s powerful to be the one to make a difference,”
Crouse files for District 13B ST. PAUL — Matthew Crouse the DFL endorsed, prior service active duty Marine, and a Local 7304 union worker from Sauk Rapids, Àled, candidacy papers for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 13B. District 13B includes Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Avon, St. Stephen, St. Wendel and Holdingford. Crouse is a 2006 graduate of Apollo High School, and is currently a senior at St. Cloud State University seeking a bachelor’s degree in political science. Crouse has been married to Katrina for seven years and resides in Sauk Rapids. Crouse’s top priorities will be ensuring that Minnesota remains a leader in education, health care, reducing discriminatory laws and en-
suring that small businesses and farms have the tools and resources they need to Áourish in our rapidly changing economy. Crouse said he knows that families come in many forms. As a former foster child, Crouse lived with many dynamic family types over seven years. This experience gives him a background in understanding how the dynamics of one family unit differ from another; and, still contain the characteristics that are the cornerstone of loving families. Crouse hopes to focus on families and to bring attention to the vulnerability and underrepresentation of foster children, children up for adoption, and the struggles that these children face that most children do not.

said Ruff. “This is a great opportunity for youth to step up and be leaders and inÁuence others.” This year’s challenge is to create and submit a twominute video with the theme #BeTheOne about how to treat people with disabilities or those who are different with respect, Ànding a way to be inclusive to them, end bullying for those with disabilities. Independent Lifestyles opened up the challenge much earlier, rather than having a short timeframe in the fall. “Last year, we only got about six submissions, so we decided to make the submis-
sion window longer in hopes we get more video entries this year,” Ruff said. The Àrst place winner receives $500, second place receives $250 and third place receives $150. The contest is open for submission through 12:00 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2016. Winners will be announced by Oct. 3 and will be invited to come and accept the prize at the Celebration of Abilities on Oct. 18, where the winning videos will also be shown.

Child care center reopens in Sauk Rapids
thankful we could work something out with the church. Playground equipment and a NSF kitchen are very costly components and transitioning to this space will blend really well for us,” Melody said. Playhouse Child Care Center will look to enroll about 55 children, even though they’ll be licensed for more. The owners said having less children enrolled will give them a safety net for times when kids are transitioning between age group. The center will gradually progress to 12 employees, hiring mostly full-time to maintain quality and consistency in both relationships and educational programming. Currently, the other four campuses—Monticello, South St. Cloud, Sartell, and St. Cloud Technical & Community College—are all four-star Parent Aware rated. Playhouse hopes to receive the Sauk Rapids four-star rating during their initial assessment in January. Parent Aware helps families Ànd quality care and education their children need to succeed in school and life. The center will also provide three meals per day to enrolled children. Meals are made from scratch and prepared in a healthy nutritious manner. Playhouse currently has only one processed food item on their menu. Playhouse will soon be expanding their purchasing, allowing them to serve fresh farm fruits and vegetables from local farms. In the future and through the support of state agencies, the centers plan to purchase primarily Minnesota grown products including meats, vegetables, fruits and grains.

He noted that the water doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ă ow out and so it sits there and becomes stagnant, which causes an unpleasant smell for those living or walking near the ditch.

Transporting the Sauk Rapids-Rice students to and from school each day is a job that Metropolitan Transportation Network (MTN) doesn’t take lightly “Our drivers take their jobs very seriously. Safety is a huge priority for them, as well as for us as a company,” said April Simon, ofÀce assistant and dispatcher at MTN in Sauk Rapids. MTN added their Sauk Rapids branch in 2009 after several years of business in the Twin Cities metro area. “Tashitaa [Tufaa, owner and CEO of MTN] started the company with one van and he slowly worked his way into school buses. Now the company has over 300 vehicles,” said Rick Stanoch, manager of MTN, Sauk Rapids. “He didn’t know anything about the business, but he learned fast.” Stanoch recognizes MTN’s important role in Sauk Rapids and its people. “It is a very important job to serve the community and its students,” Stanoch said. “It is our responsibility to get the kids on and off the buses safely, and you never know where you’ll see them

again throughout the community or how much of a difference you make in their lives.” “Sometimes we are the Àrst people the kids see in the day and our attitude can reÁect how their day goes or how it ends,” Simon said. In Sauk Rapids, MTN strives to be as familyfriendly and local as possible while they transport kids to and from school, on Àeld trips and getting athletes to various out-of-town sporting events. “We have a hometown family atmosphere,” Simon said. “We have a lot of drivers who have been here for 20 years or more and that shows their commitment despite the change of owner-
ship.” For many years, Larson Bus Company serviced the Sauk Rapids-Rice district before selling out to First Student Laidlaw. MTN took over after First Student and have serviced the district since then. “We are entrusted with the lives of the students and transporting them safely helps our drivers feel like they are making a difference,” Simon said. “It makes us feel important.” MTN – Sauk Rapids is looking to add eight drivers to their staff for the start of the school year in the fall.

Sixth inning dooms Storm
SR-R falls 5-3
by MARK KLAPHAKE STAFF WRITER
The Storm gave up two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and lost a 5-3 nail biter to Alexandria in the Section 8AAA playoffs May 30 in Alexandria. Sauk Rapids-Rice hosted Sartell June 1 in the double elimination tournament. In their game against Alexandria, the sixth inning was critical for both teams. In the top of the inning, Sauk Rapids-Rice loaded the bases with three consecutive singles. Ella Douvier started the inning with a pinch-hit line drive up the middle. “Ella has done a good job of coming up with key pinch hits in the playoffs. She had a pinch hit RBI versus St. Cloud Apollo and started the sixth inning versus Alexandria with a key hit,” said head coach Ken Karna. Jill Oldakowski then singled and Staci Meyer loaded the bases with a bunt base hit. But the Cardinals escaped the jam with a Àelders’ choice and then consecutive strikeouts. “That was our chance to
take control of the game and we missed our opportunity,” Karna said. In their half of the inning, the Cardinals used two hits, a sacriÀce bunt, a stolen base and a Sauk Rapids-Rice error to score two runs and break the 3-3 deadlock. The Storm had to battle back from two earlier deÀcits in the game. They trailed 2-0 after a Cardinal two-run homer in the Àrst inning but tied the game in the third inning. Megan Ackerman led off with a double and went to third with a single from Bailey Becker. Brooke Torvik drove in Ackerman with a sacriÀce bunt. Later in the inning, a groundout from Sydney Plemel scored Becker to the tie the game at 2-2. Alexandria went ahead 3-2 in the fourth inning. Sauk Rapids-Rice tied the game in the Àfth inning. Torvik walked and later scored on an RBI single from Plemel. “They are capable of putting up runs at any time, so they have developed a belief in each other to battle back at any time,” Karna said. The loss was a hard one to swallow, considering the Storm outhit Alexandria 13-

10 and SR-R committed just one error. “I told them (after the game) that they played another good game. Thirteen hits and one error is a good game that usually results in more than three runs,” Karna said. Meyer, Ackerman, Becker and Oldakowski each had two hits to lead the Storms offensive attack. Sammy Patton pitched for the Storm and allowed 10 hits and struck out six.

Sauk Rapids grad back on mound for SCSU by JOHN MILLER STAFF WRITER
David Kroger is back pitching after taking three years off to save up money and reconsider his options, both academically and on the Àeld. His enrollment at St. Cloud State University has given him a second chance to play ball. The 24-year-old Sauk Rapids graduate played baseball as a freshman at Indian Hills College in Iowa before returning home. “My mom lost her job so I decided to put college on hold. My parents wanted me to go back to school and continue to play baseball,” said Kroger about moving home to help out his family. “My parents have always supported me. My way of giving back to them was to support myself. It felt good to put myself second and do my family a favor.” Kroger said he could not thank his parents enough for all they have done for him over the years. “I can’t put into words how thankful I am for how many hours they have dedicated
to me, how much they’ve spent on me. Even when I came back home to help they wanted to keep me in school and continue to play baseball,” he said. Kroger has been playing baseball since childhood. He gives credit to his father, David Kroger Sr., who took the time to teach him the mental and physical parts of the game. He always played catch with his dad in their backyard growing up, and joined a Cal Ripken league when he was 9 years old. In high school, David was a three-sport athlete for Sauk Rapids. He played quarterback for the football team, guard on the basketball team, and was a starting pitcher for the baseball team. “Baseball has always been a part of my life since I was young. I was missing it and thought ‘I have to Ànd a way back into it.’ It felt special to get back on the mound. I still get nervous when I enter the game PHOTO SUBMITTED sometimes, but they are good Kroger is pitching at St. Cloud State University after taking nerves,” Kroger said. three years off. He contacted head baseball coach, Pat Dolan, and en- past fall. Dolan for giving me a shot. rolled at St. Cloud State this “I am grateful to coach I chose a different path out
of high school and for him to give me the opportunity to come back and play has meant the world to me,” Kroger said. Preparing for the upcoming season proved to be difÀcult. “Getting my arm back in shape was the hardest part about trying to come back to baseball. I would work out in the weight room, but outside of that it was hard to Ànd people to play catch with. People wouldn’t take me seriously, so when I wanted to throw I would throw into a net for a while,” Kroger said about how he prepared to come back. Kroger said his teammates like to have fun with him and give him a hard time about being the 24-year-old on the team. “They try to rattle me. They often call me ‘daddy’ or ‘grandpa.’ We have fun together,” Kroger said. Kroger said there are pros and cons to being 24 years old playing against younger guys. “I feel like I have an advantage, mentally. I react better to certain situations and can
keep my composure well in high-pressure situations. In my experience I know how it feels to fail and how it feels to succeed,” Kroger said. Kroger has one semester left of eligibility to play baseball. He said, “the NCAA has a 10 semester rule and I only have the tenth to work with. I can’t participate in the fall portion of the season, but will be pitching next spring.” Off the Àeld, Kroger is studying television and broadcast journalism at SCSU. His favorite classes are TV production and multimedia class. He said he enjoys shooting Àlm and editing videos to make a production come together. His favorite professional player will always be Derek Jeter. “I’ve read his biography like 10 times, he played the game right,” said Kroger. A couple of his favorite pitchers are Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets. A couple goals he has for his Ànal season are to pitch many innings and consistently throw above 90 mph.

It was overall a pretty clean game.” Sauk Rapids-Rice was scoreless in the fourth but bounced back in the Àfth inning. Cordell Lazer scored Matt Johnson from Àrst off a single to right center Àeld. The Storm struck again in the top of the sixth inning when Posch scored from third base on a pass ball and Anthony Burton drove in Johnson on a solid single to right Àeld.

Hat tricks help lacrosse win
Leading the Saluting great accomplishments in the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School
by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
Beccah Kelash Age: 18 Parents names: Marc and Cheryl Kelash Accomplishment: Is the starting leftÀelder and a pitcher for the Sauk Rapids-Rice Softball Team. Grade: 12th What do you like most about softball? What I like most about softball is the fact that every inning is a different inning. A new inning can be a new challenge and you can always comeback from the last inning.
The girls lacrosse team had two members score hat tricks during the May 26 game against Mound Westonka – Summer Koenig and Nicole Lindmeier. Their six combined goals contributed signiÀcantly to the 13-4 win. Maggie Kulus and Alyssa Ghalager each scored one goal. Lauren Lindmeier and Bre Hess each scored two. McKenna Lalim had Àve saves in goal. The team also faced off against St. MichaelAlbertville May 24. The team fought through double overtime, but lost 8-7. Koenig, N. Lindmeier, Ella Steinberg, Maddie Mollner and Katie Lucas each added a goal and Hess added two. The girls Ànished 3-9 for the season. Playoffs begin May 31.
What is your favorite thing to do on the Àeld? My favorite thing to do on the Àeld is to yell out how many outs we have and what plays we need to choose from with the outs. Tell us about the most memorable game you’ve ever been a part of? The most memorable game would be Roccori this year. We had 8 runs come in on 2 outs. We never stopped cheering and we were always ready to Àght in the up coming inning.

(Above) Maggie Kulus runs past a St. Michael-Albertville opponent during the May 24 game. The Storm’n Sabres lost in double overtime 8-7.
What is your favorite position to play? Why? My favorite position to play would be outÀeld. I like outÀeld because you get to see the whole game and Àeld but close up. You can tell where the runners are and what plays you have to make.
(Left) Bre Hess nears the opposing goal during the May 24 game against St. Michael-Albertville. She scored two goals during the game.
What was your favorite high school class? Explain. My favorite high school class was in junior year in Anatomy. I loved dissecting the pigs and learning new things about the way we all work. It was pretty cool. What are some words you like to live by? Live today as if tomorrow will never come. You never know what the future holds so take advantage of the present. Tell us about a skill you possess that most people don’t know. I play the piano. Favorite movie: Miracle Favorite Meal: Reuben bars. Favorite Social media: Instagram Favorite Song: Any Selena Gomez song. What are your future plans? My future plan is to attend St. Cloud Technical and Community College for generals.
