RICE – Kaleidoscope.

With only this single word, memories Áood of bright, colorful patterns, twisting, changing, but always remaining in sync.

Kaleidoscope. For Cristina Seaborn, this is the perfect word to describe the experience of a community barn dance.

“There are patterns when you’re in the band on stage.

You see all the different groups doing the same dances. It’s amazing,” Seaborn said For the past month Seaborn, a teaching artist com-

pleting a Central Minnesota Arts Board residency at Rice Elementary, has been instructing the school’s students in barn dance and training its music and physical education teachers in the art of dance calling. In less than a week’s time, those same students will have the opportunity to pass on their knowledge at the Rice Elementary community barn dance on the evening of May 10.

“I feel like barn dances are such a community builder,” Seaborn said. “You can have grandmas and little kids and all ages in between

Rice gains farmers’ market

RICE — As the city of Rice continues to grow, residents will have a new opportunity to sell and shop local.

The Rice City Council approved a large gathering permit for the Rice Women of Today Farmers’ Market which is set to be open Tuesdays 4-6:30 p.m. June through September. The market will take place in the public parking lot and park across from Rice Automotive Service and Shady’s Railside on Division Street N. The Àrst event date is set for June 7.

WATAB TOWNSHIP — As a young girl, being a mom was Laura Swenson’s only dream. Everything in sight, right down to the orange juice cartons at the local market, became her babies.

She grew up in a funloving family of eight. Motherhood was her one aspiration and if you look to her past, it’s easy to see how it’s shaped Swenson’s present and future.

“We were the KoolAid house growing up—my house was the neighborhood hangout. My mom did the baking, while Dad was outside rounding up kids for games,” she said. “I don’t think there’s anyone in the world who’s made more chocolate chip cookies than my mom.”

Swenson’s childhood home had a swinging door much like her house today.

Along with her husband Randall, the Swensons have opened their home and hearts to 10 children of their own, over 50 foster children and many more travelers and exchange students along the way. But their journey hasn’t been easy.

Having wanted babies her entire life, the gift of children became even more precious to Swenson when her dream was abruptly swept away in a Àrst-trimester miscarriage. Swenson had already grown to a woman

of strong faith by this time, so she put her trust in the Lord and moved ahead. She became pregnant with her second child and because of her prior loss, the midwife thought it important for Swenson to hear the heartbeat.

“I remember the tears just rolling down my face as I heard the heartbeat for the Àrst time,” Swenson said.

“To hear life, it was amazing to me.”

The Swensons went on, having Àve healthy babies in a row in the comforts of their home — Isabella, now 20, Aidan, 17, Ireland, 14, Willem, 12, and Georgianna, 10.

But it was after Georgianna, that the family’s faith was put

to test once again.

Two years after Georgianna’s birth, Swenson became pregnant with twins.

The Àrst baby did not survive and was miscarried early in the pregnancy.

“As a family, we had just Ànished reading the book of Job. For those familiar, Job loses his family — not one baby, but his entire family –and remains strong and praises the Lord. I looked at the death of the Àrst twin as our chance to put word into practice. We had a choice to make. We could be angry or we could be grateful,” Swenson said.

The Swenson’s chose gratefulness and their joy was never more apparent than on the day the second twin Emmanuelle Patience was born. The Swensons understood their little girl and sister could have easily been miscarried as well and were jubilant in her birth. But after less than three weeks on Earth with her family, Emmanuelle died in her mother’s arms due to heart and lung complications.

“I had no idea anything was wrong at Àrst. But I’m glad I didn’t know because I feel like my time with her was so genuine and wonderful. It was joyful because we weren’t aware,” Swenson said. “As hard as it was going through the hospital stay and death, I feel like she was a gift. I would take a gift for three weeks than not PHOTO SUBMITTED take a gift at all. If someone Laura Swenson (left) believes her mother Joan Vos exempliÀed is blessing me with somethe joy of motherhood to her at a young age. thing, it’s not in my power to

choose how long I have it.

The preciousness of her life was so real to us. We knew she could have been miscarried too. So to even get her for that little bit was a miracle.”

Swenson continued to have two additional miscarriages after Emmanuelle, but losing her own children has opened her doors to others and caused her to reÁect on the little blessings that suffering can bring.

“Emmanuelle changed our lives forever. I had always said I wanted at least 10. Double digits sounded like a full and happy quiver. And I got 10 — I just didn’t know I would only parent Àve,” Swenson said.

“Choosing to be grateful will help life in the long run.

Life is going to have the good, the bad and the ugly, but a good outlook is going to help.”

Over time, the Swensons joined a foster-to-adopt program and have welcomed over 50 children into their home for as little as one night or as long as eighteen months. Swenson believes Emmanuelle’s short time with the family has helped them realize they are not in the driver’s seat of control.

“She was the best foster-care training I could have,” Swenson said. “God brings them and God takes them. If I can’t allow the Lord to move my own child on in his timing, how much

Trusting the process Grant helps publicize local authors work

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — Writing is an art-form like all others. It doesn’t simply happen and it can’t be forced. One does not choose to be a writer, but rather words choose you.

“There’s a point at which the book starts talking back to you,” said local author Kirstin Bratt about the process of novel writing. “People talk about it in a spiritual way and it’s a common phenomenon, but for me, I know it’s created inside. There’s a point where my books start pulling me out of my normal life—whether I’m in a waiting room or I’m asleep. They take me out, wake me up and I know I have to write. I can’t do anything else but write.”

Bratt, a Sauk Rapids-Rice

High School graduate, was awarded a Central Minnesota Arts Board and McKnight Foundation Emerging Artist award earlier this year for her newly published book, “Flying Goats in Agadir.” One of seven artists across Stearns and Benton counties to receive the honor, Bratt was gifted $3,000 to help publicize her work.

“I’m super grateful. It’s a huge amount of money and a big help. Without funding for promotion, a book can sit. A book can just sit, and no one will ever read it. That can happen,” Bratt said.

Having published other books before “Flying Goats in Agadir,” Bratt isn’t quick to discredit the works she created in her younger years. In fact, she claims the 1986 Sauk Rapids-Rice yearbook as her

Àrst published book.

“It was such a huge project and so important because it was super public,” Bratt said. “I knew everyone was really going to read it, and it was different than writing for teachers. I think I grew leaps and bounds during the years I was involved with yearbook.”

After graduation, Bratt expanded her education and experiences. She received her doctorate in English pedagogy from Northern Arizona University and has lived and taught in numerous places spanning outside the country including New York City, Atlanta, Chicago, Pennsylvania, the U.S.-Mexican border and even Cuernavaca, Mexico.

But it was Bratt’s experience

Community celebrates diversity Student pairs create homeless bags

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

ST. CLOUD — Students from the St. Cloud Christian School gathered on April 21 to prepare bags for area homeless.

Sixth grade and kindergarten children gathered in the school lunch room to make cards with inspiring Bible verses, select household items and assembled about 22 bags which will be distributed

by Place of Hope Ministries in St. Cloud.

“God wants us to tell people about Jesus and we are giving to people who don’t have as much as we do,” said kindergartner Bethany Carlson about why they were doing the project. Carlson’s sixth grade buddy Elizabeth Waytashek chimed in, “And Bethany, each of us have a spirit and we need to let our light shine. Being kind to others is showing God’s grace which is important.”

The collaborative sixth and kindergarten project was

Each grade is required to do at least one service project, but depending on the extent of the project, many do more. Lana Kozak, a co-chair of the Warrior Serve committee, had done a similar project with her family. She said pairing the kindergartners with their sixth grade buddies allowed them to make a difference in the community with help from their role models.

“Our hope is for Warrior Serve projects to help portray the love of Christ to our neighbors and our community. We pray that we, at SCCS, are the hands and feet of Jesus, being not only hearers of God’s word, but also doers. Our goal is to impact others with our love, but to be impacted ourselves while serving others,” Kozak said.

After making cards, students picked out many things that society takes for granted

of D & B Auto Body, Sauk Rapids.

The EMT (emergency medical technician and paramedic) training program at the St. Cloud Technical and Community College has been looking for a simulator online for quite some time.

“My brother works as a lab assistant in the program and he sent me some pictures and I showed it to Brandon,” Nikki said.

“I knew I could build what Nikki showed me, but it was very basic and didn’t mimic reality, so I ended up creating something better for them,” said Brandon Anderson, owner of D&B Auto Body.

Instead of the basic design, Brandon took the cab of a pickup truck and made modiÀcations.

“We added PVC pipes and left the airbags intact,” Brandon said. “Because of the PVC, they can practice with the simulator on its side, roof or sitting on the wind-

Not only did D&B Auto create a realistic design, they did so cost-effectively. According to Nikki, if the school had purchased a simulator it would have cost roughly $20,000.

While props and costumes are much simpler than a high school production, Schueller feels that the message is much more powerful.

“I think people will take away much more from this than a school production because this is going to be much more real and hit your feelings harder,” Schueller said.

Mattson feels the production is happening at a good time.

“Differences are everywhere in today’s world, so the message of respect is something I hope will resonate with the audience long after the Ànal scene,” Mattson said.

Even before the Àrst scene, Weinand has high hopes for the show.

“God has respect for everyone, no matter who you are,” Weinand said. “He’s out there for everybody and ‘The X Project’ shows that very well. I hope the audience takes a lot from the show, no matter who they are or what journey they are on.”

Tickets for “The X Project are on sale at Living Waters Lutheran Church.

those individual messages too, because it turns it into a self-interpretation kind of show, which gives it that much more meaning,” said Morgan Freese.

The production stars 50 high school students from Sauk Rapids and the surrounding areas, including Àve schools and 13 churches.

For Morgan Weinand and Abraham, New Wine has been their only drama experience, but they wouldn’t trade for anything.

“Being in New Wine has truly been life-changing for me,” Abraham said. “When I Àrst joined, I wouldn’t talk to anybody, but now, I talk to everyone I can.”

“I’ve been coming to the shows for the past two years and have always thought it was cool, but I haven’t been old enough to join,” Weinand said. “This year, I was Ànally old enough to join and it’s been a great experience from the beginning. The cool part is that you don’t need to have drama experience to be in the group, so I would encourage people to try out.”

The group has four

performances in early May, but it doesn’t end with the Ànal show. Each year after the performances at Living Waters, the group takes the production on tour. Last year, the group went to Georgia.

This year, they are traveling to parts of Canada, Alaska, Washington and other places.

As they spread the message of respect on tour, the group also gets to take in some sightseeing.

“I am very excited for scenery,” said Hunter Schueller. “I just want to get out and see the great outdoors. You get a preview in Minnesota, but there’s so much more out there. I also want to pick a maple leaf and try Canadian bacon and maple syrup in Canada.”

Freese has a simpler goal for the tour.

“I want to meet a Canadian,” Freese said with a laugh.

During the tour, visiting the dinosaur museum, going to a Àsh hatchery and a 17-hour ferry ride, from Ketchikan to Washington, are among the things the group will do.

“I’m both nervous and excited for the ferry ride,” Abraham said. “I’ve been on a three-hour ferry ride, but not 17 hours. I don’t know if I’ll feel like I just need to be back on land or if I’ll be Àne.”

at the Tech College.

“As a whole piece, it won’t Àt through the doors of the lab. As we created it, we had to cut it in half, so it would come apart to get it in and then piece back together,” Nikki said. “We wanted it to separate, but still be sturdy.”

The simulator was delivered to the college on April 22 and Brandon feels conÀdent it will serve its purpose.

“Now that they have this, they can practice different scenarios and it will be much more realistic than using student vehicles,” Brandon said. “I’m glad we were able to partner and make this happen.”

in Morocco that led to her recent book.

After spending two summers in Morocco working as a speech writer, Bratt felt compelled to share the culture she experienced.

“My goal is that people will see a more gentle side to the Muslim faith,” said Bratt. “Muslim faith is about charity, sacriÀce, prayer, pilgrimage and the same God as the Judeo-Christian faiths. In the Quran, there are so many beautiful passages about the greatness of Jesus and the greatness of Mary and it really celebrates those Àgures.”

Bratt’s book, deemed historical Àction, is set in the post-colonial periods of the Iranian hostage crisis, the Moroccan reforms of the 1990s and Arab Spring. It exempliÀes typical MoroccanMuslim day-to-day life for couples – Susan and Daoud, Elizabeth and Mahmoud, and the narrator and her beloved.

After calling the book “Moroccan Tales of Love and Disaster” for several years, her editor suggested the title, “Flying Goats in Agadir.”

This title captures some of the spirit of the novel, the idea that a new phenomenon can seem strange and magical to a person until it becomes familiar and logical.

The award comes at a good time for Bratt and may have helped ignite more inspiration for her next novel.

Bratt has been penning and outlining a story for the past

three years, but it wasn’t until the end of February that one of the least developed characters started speaking to her.

Rice Elementary Principal Christina Bemboom and Seaborn partnered to receive the CMAB grant which will fulÀll a dance unit requirement enforced by state and national standards.

During the unit, students are learning three to seven dances (depending on grade level), all of which move to an eight measure sequence.

The dances vary from parallel

line dances to circle or square dances and for the purposes of the barn dance, most will require the students to search out a partner in the community audience to share in the fun.

The groups will dance to selections chosen from the Chimes of Dunkirk, a New England dance compilation being used to teach the children.

“Calling a dance is like conducting an orchestra. You give the call right before its time to do the step. I’ll say

more can I trust Him with other people’s children?”

Swenson said that although she likes the idea of adopting a child, she is content with whatever God brings her way. Fostering hasn’t been hard for her family, because they haven’t entered the experience wanting to adopt each child who walks through the door, but rather they’ve wanted to offer a safe haven for those children needing a place to stay.

“I have total peace in trusting the Lord. They’re going to be here as long as He

wants them here,” she said.

“Whether it is to adopt or not, I trust that whatever is to be, will.”

Because of the amount of time her family spends together [the children are home-schooled], the Swensons have a uniÀed spirit and will simultaneously sense when the family needs a break, but for the most part all the children want large families of their own.

“Opening your arms to children has been so talked about and the children have grown up with it—they’re

three claps the beat before and then the group will clap-clapclap,” Seaborn said. “There is an art to it. You don’t just randomly say the call with no regard to the music.”

OPINION

A recipe but not an exact one

Recently, I’ve taken on more interior design work in my list of services and I love it. I come up with more than one idea for the space I’m designing and run it by my craftsman husband so there is a plan A and B. Last fall we planned to build a house and the challenge was to build it as

by MERCY economic as possible and still have it be NYGAARD creative, artistic and packed with craftsLife by Faith manship. But, that fell through when the land we were set on increased in price.

Did that stop our creative outlet that was so passionately sparked? No. The Lord has provided several opportunities for us to help others with their spaces and even a Àxer upper we may soon call home. With all of this designing, I am reminded of motherhood. Motherhood in the trenches. Like design, there is no perfect and exact recipe for parenthood. With both, preference comes Àrst and rules of thumb follow. Pinterest is growing proof that you can do anything and anything can look good. Who am I to tell you that you are breaking design rules?

Who am I to tell you your child’s needs? With Pinterest, there are no rules. This is a tempting go-to with mothers because one statistic states that moms are 61 percent more likely to visit Pinterest as compared to the average American. Careful!

Do not let it suck you into the vortex of self-help, self-improvement and self-love pins.

All moms need to know that they are loved and it’s pretty stinkin’ obvious when your baby smiles at you and comes in hot for some snuggles. That is God’s design. Moms need to know their hard work is effective and will pay off in the long run. Just don’t compare your hard work to someone else’s, or yourself to the mom in snug active-wear taking a selÀe at just the right angle. And don’t compare your family to the perfectly posed, smiling, laughing family pictures you see everywhere.

As a photographer, I have experience acting like a clown and producing tricks so those photos appear everyone’s content in that moment.

When I had my Àrst child, I knew everything. I could tell you how to make your baby sleep through the night, how to get them to say their manners early, how to discipline effectively and so on. I humbly apologize to anyone I gave that prideful advice to so arrogantly.

After I had more children, I found out my oldest was just a content little bugger, very social and could self soothe naturally. I found out I didn’t know much at all and there wasn’t an exact recipe to parenting. When the poop was painted on a kid-sized easel I gasped, “That was never supposed to be my child!”

One thing I know...there is a recipe for every parent.

It involves complete reliance on God, complete surrender, humility, forgiveness and perseverance. It’s not a recipe you can perfect but thanks to our perfect God we can keep designing, have a plan B, allow forgiveness and parent on my friends!

A time to appreciate This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, a chance for everyone to reÁect and say thank you to teachers.

Here in Sauk Rapids-Rice, our students get to experience amazing teachers and programming in a wonderful school district and community.

Students, parents and all supporters of public schools deserve credit for that achievement. This is the week to give

by DR. DANIEL BITTMAN teachers their share of that credit.

At some point or another, we Superintendent’s Corner have all met a teacher whose lessons went far beyond the classroom, a person who connected with us and unlocked an appreciation for learning and adventure. For me, I could name many who made a positive difference. The teachers who come to mind taught me a lot more than content. They taught me to have a strong work ethic, to appreciate the journey, to love, to trust and to learn. They gave me the courage and the conÀdence to trust my own abilities and reminded me often I could accomplish great things with hard work and determination.

While a teacher may be just one person in the world, to a child one teacher may be the world.

As a superintendent, community member and parent of children in the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District, I want to thank all teachers who make a difference each and every day.

Thank you!

District conducts soft lockdown

by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

The Sauk Rapids-Rice School District has been making safety and security a high priority.

A soft lockdown was conduced April 25 at the high. It took place while students were in class learning. Law enforcement ofÀcers and their trained dogs moved throughout the school in attempt to identify areas that might contain prohibited items such as illegal narcotics. If a dog identiÀes an area, such as a vehicle and/or locker, as having a prohibited item, that area, as

well as the person they belong to, is searched.

“This was not done because of any recent events or speciÀc situations, but rather to ensure that drugs are not present in our schools,” said Dr. Daniel Bittman, superintendent of the district.

“These efforts are meant to keep Sauk Rapids-Rice safe, provide opportunities for law enforcement and the school district to work collaboratively, and to encourage our students to remain drug free. It also ensures Sauk Rapids-Rice students and staff continue to have a safe and welcoming learning environment each and every

day.”

In other school board news: The school district received a three-year grant totaling $618,000 from Youthprise, which will be used to develop and implement a collaborative model for secondary students who are disconnected from school and education, and thus, at risk of dropping out.

The Community Task Force has developed recommendations for the board, but is working to narrow down to more speciÀc recommendations, which will be presented at the June 20 board meeting.

Hornets down Storm 9-1

by MARK KLAPHAKE STAFF WRITER

The last week of April wasn’t kind to the Sauk Rapids-Rice softball team.

The Storm suffered three losses against no wins. Their third loss came Friday night when they lost to the Big Lake Hornets 9-1 in Big Lake.

SR-R scored a run in the top of the Àrst and retained the lead until the third inning.

Big Lake scored four runs in the third and added the rest of their runs in the fourth inning.

Staci Meyer had two of the Storm’s seven hits. Big Lake Ànished with just one more hit than the Storm.

Sammy Patton and Beccah Kelash both pitched for SR-R. Patton pitched 3 2/3 innings and struck out one and Kelash pitched 2 1/3 innings and struck out three.

The Storm committed four errors in the game.

“Errors have been hurting us lately. We need to be clean in the Àeld so we don’t need 8+ runs to win,” said SR-R head coach Ken Karna. “We just need to get back to basic softball. Make the routine plays and use our offensive abilities to put runs on the board.”

Four Sauk Rapids-Rice high school varsity teams had the luxury of being at home Tuesday night.

The Sauk Rapids-Rice softball and baseball teams hosted doubleheaders with Brainerd. The tennis team hosted Alexandria and the boys Lacrosse team had a home game against Buffalo. Below is a photo spread of the night with scores put together by staff members Anna Saldana and Mark Klaphake.

Age: 17 Parents: Joel and Becky Ploeger Grade: Junior Accomplishment: Plays No. 1 singles for the Sauk Rapids-Rice girls’ golf team.

What do you like most about golf? My favorite thing about golf is the lessons it teaches you. It’s a mental game, as well as, a physical one, and it takes hard work to get to a mindset of not focusing on your mistakes.

What is the strength of your game? The strong point in my game right now is my willingness to learn, as I am a developing player. I’m grateful to be a part of a team where we’re all learning together and hopefully building a strong golf program at Sauk Rapids. Our coach, Matt Posch, is working hard to help us become the team we want to be.

Tell us about the most memorable day of golf you’ve ever had? My most memorable round was in Sedona, Ariz. The course was difÀcult but beautiful, and it is always fun golÀng with my family.

McKinley Lain drives the ball back over the net to his Alexandria opponent. The Storm’n Eagles lost 7-0.

Who is your favorite professional golfer? My favorite professional golfer is Arnold Palmer. He is very dedicated to the game and has kept a high level of integrity and class throughout his career. Also, I love iced tea and lemonade.

What has been your favorite high school class to date?

My favorite class is Spanish because I think learning a second language is very important and it’s giving me the opportunity to go to Costa Rica next year.

What are some words you like to live by? Words I like to live by are “In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:6.

Tell us about a skill you possess that most people don’t know. Some people may not know I love photography.

I just think it’s a great way to view and experience the world around you.

What is your favorite movie, meal, social media, song?

I don’t really have a favorite movie, but I like comedies.

My favorite meal is ice cream, if that counts as a meal.

My favorite social media is VSCO. I don’t have a favorite song, but I love Christmas music.

Teammates congratulate Bjorn Hanson, #17, after his two-run home gave SR-R a 3-1 lead in the second game of the doubleheader. Hanson had two hits in the game for Sauk Rapids-Rice.

What are your future plans? I plan to attend college someplace warm, maybe following my brother, Steven, to Grand Canyon University where we can play golf together year-round. In regard to my major, I am considering law, dentistry or speech pathology.
