Paddler passes through Mike Hatfield visits Sauk Rapids during his History River canoe trip by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

A history buff and professional gunsmith stopped and visited the Benton County Historical Society last week during his source-to-sea trip of the Mississippi River. Mike Hatfield, who has called many states his home over the years, was set to arrive in Sauk Rapids around Labor Day, but due to continuous setbacks, finally arrived on the Sauk Rapids shoreline on Sept. 28 – almost three weeks late. “I made some novice assumptions about the trip,” said Hatfield. “The biggest weather obstacle I have encountered has been the wind. Being late in the season, wind patterns have changed and the wind is now coming from the south, which means I paddle against the wind almost all the time. My basic assumption

was that I would be able to paddle 20 miles between towns on my journey. I have made that goal about half the time. On average I’m able to paddle around eight miles a day. I read every blog and researched thoroughly from the people who had already made this trip before me. The river has not resembled any of their information. It is everchanging and outside of a few landmarks, I think if I would take this trip four months from now, it would be a completely different experience.” Hatfield’s setbacks in the trip have not always been negative. He has had a lot more interest in the journey from communities along the way as he’s been passing through towns, so more and more are jumping on board to participate and help. Traveling in a 1967 Dolphin Papoose 100-pound

Stealing rays

fiberglass canoe, Hatfield’s journey to spread awareness about historical preservation has been continuously growing the farther south he paddles. Originally, Hatfield had heard from about 20 different historical societies or museums who were interested in a visit from him; that number has more than doubled. “It became a bigger deal than I thought. About 43 have been excited about the prospect of participating in this project, if not committed to doing so,” Hatfield said. “This includes three museums in Louisiana during the last leg of the trip.” Public awareness has helped Hatfield’s trip grow. Originally, the Stearns County Historical Society had not replied to Hatfield’s request to meet with them, but upon landing in Sauk Rapids, they changed their minds and joined the bandwagon.

Simple Solar Designs saves with thermal heating by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

RICE – As you pull into the driveway of Gary and Becky Court, the property looks like any other in the area. There are large pole buildings and a house situated near a hill under tall trees. By the looks of the homestead, you’d never guess the innovation and science going on within. The Courts own Simple Solar Designs. Simple Solar Designs specializes in outdoor boiler systems, whether wood, corn or pellet burners. The systems they sell and install can be used for hot water, baseboard and/or in-floor heat, forced air and can even be used to heat pools and hot tubs. The Sunrain Vacuum Tube Solar provided is different from what you typically think of when you think solar because it is not a flat panel offering electricity; it is strictly a thermal collector system. “They say solar is only good from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; that was the box style that came out in the 1970s. When the sun got to a certain angle and hit, then at two o’clock the reflection was gone and it wouldn’t run,” Gary said. “My instructor installs glazed

panels and his don’t run for 30 days at a time during the winter. We have a data recorder on ours and ours [the Sunrain systems] runs 360 out of 365 days, at more than four hours a day at over 140 degrees.” Simple Solar Designs sells do-it-yourself kits for property owners to install, but is also available for installation or maintenance on current solar systems. They are the only distributor of the Sunrain Vacuum Tube Solar Collector Systems in the five-state area. The panels have 30 tubes filled with an acetone liquid which doesn’t freeze and a copper tube for conductivity. Because being tubes and not flat panels, they collect more heat though out the day. The tubes are double glass, never get hot and can withstand up to one-inch hail. If a tube should break, it doesn’t leak any liquid. Only one tube needs to be replaced at that point – not the entire panel. In 1982, Gary started experimenting with glass paneled boxes. The boxes would become too hot, and the pressure would cause them to explode in the yard. He decided that before he got hurt, he needed to learn how to create solar energy heat the correct way.

and searched during the past search of Miller, who had been reported missing and is believed to have taken his own life in the park. An autopsy was conducted and the cause of death was determined as fresh water drowning by suicide.

The energy at the football game was undeniable,” Dr. Bittman said. “We really appreciate all of the work of the people behind the scenes to make everything happen.” • The facility study is ongoing. Dr. Bittman and Eisenschenk recently met with the architect to learn more about his findings thus far and to answer any questions. The architect is expected to report to the board in November and to solicit feedback from the community from January through March. Community members are urged to be involved and serve on the committee, emphasizing the importance of everyone working collaboratively to help determine what the SRR district should be 1015 years from now. Anyone interested in getting involved can contact Christie Young in the district office.

The total weight of all his gear with this equipment is approximately 300 pounds. In addition to his day-today necessities, Hatfield is carrying about 60 pounds of technological equipment to assist him in documentation of his journey, including his MacBook Pro laptop, solar panel and production camera for YouTube and DVD movies. “There have been some interesting portages because of the amount of gear I am traveling with. It takes as many as five trips to carry things around dams at sometimes one-and-a-half miles each. I’m really looking forward to getting beyond Saint Anthony,” Hatfield said. “Sauk Rapids has a lot of parks and area to get off on the river. It has been the most accessible town so far for a paddler. My boat is chained to a tree by the river, and I have no doubt in my mind that after three days it will still be there.” Hatfield, who has an associate degree in gunsmithing, is currently a full-time student studying for a triple bachelor’s in history, English and creative writing. Schooling from a canoe has had its tribulations. In his first trip to Minnesota, Hatfield had expected that he would have stronger Internet service and availability to do homework, but that was not the case – especially on the northernmost part of the river. In order to finish assignments, Hatfield has had to call his girlfriend and read his papers to her, as she types and submits them for review. According to the Minnesota Paddler’s Association, there are about 500 canoeists that make the journey from the Lake Itasca to the lock dam in St. Anthony. Fifty of those people will attempt the long journey to the Gulf of Mexico. Perhaps the frequency of paddlers on the river accounts for the good fortune and reception Hatfield has had on his journey. “The people have been amazing. Generally, as I am coming into a town upriver,

Mike Hatfield says his goodbyes to Meredith DePree, office support for the Benton County Historical Society. DePree and executive director, Mary Ostby, helped Hatfield with his gear and transportation while he stayed in the area from Sept. 28 through Oct. 1.

I start meeting people out on their boats and pontoons. They see me on my big red canoe and greet me with a friendly wave, a cold beer or directions,” Hatfield said. Most of Hatfield’s boarding contacts are made via his website, historyriver.com or Facebook page, but some are people he meets on the river while passing through. One man in Crow Wing County, who Hatfield deems as the most educated amateur self-taught historian he has

met, offered a 9- by 12-foot log cabin he built to resemble a 1800s trapper cabin. “He gave me a choice on where I would like to stay,” Hatfield said. “I could have a room inside the main house, an RV, a teepee or the cabin replica. The choice was an easy one.” With winter nearing, Hatfield will meet his girlfriend in LaCrosse, Wisc., to exchange summer for winter wear as well as pick up a tool he wished he would

have packed from day one – his ax. From there, he will be on his own the rest of the trip. Although Hatfield planned to be spending Christmas in New Orleans, the slower-paced trip, which has been gaining museum additions daily, will likely take until April 20. “As long as I can keep south of the frozen river syndrome and don’t run out of funding, I don’t care if the trip takes until next October,” Hatfield said.

United Way volunteer Judy Heintze (back) helps a Good Shepherd tenant make her way around the International Pub Crawl event as part of United Way’s Day of Caring on Sept. 24. Good Shepherd staff member Becky Eckstrand dressed in costume, adding to the event’s festivities.

Good Shepherd Community participated in the United Way Day of Caring by having an International Pub Crawl event Thursday, Sept. 24. This event spanned the entire 30-acre campus and featured stops at 10 country locations including the United States, France, China, Germany, Africa, Mexico, Spain, Russia, Peru and Italy. Over 50 United Way volunteers made this event possible. They escorted more than 125 residents and tenants through each of the locations across the campus where they sampled beverages and snacks native to each country. Today’s senior living campuses are much different than those

of the past. We focus on having educational, entertaining and stimulating programs and activities to promote active aging and lifelong learning. Each of the 10 stations also featured a display board with fun facts about the country, artifacts and souvenirs. Special thanks to Air Maxx Trampoline Park for the use of their slushie machine; Mexican Village for their donation of chips and salsa; Fr. Zimmerman for helping with Italy and bringing a cardboard cutout of Pope Francis to use in taking pictures; Barb Blumer for her German artifacts, and the United Way for their support of this event day and their wonderful volunteers.

Solar Designs continued from front connected on his boiler. Now, he is heating 2,300 gallons with six solar panels. He is receiving about 140 degrees from that system. When he switches to a smaller tank, he should be able to keep the water at 170 degrees, which will allow them to not burn wood for many months. His goal this year is less than five cords, and they are heating about 10,000 square feet. “If you didn’t experiment, no one would know anything about this,” Gary said. “I put mirrors underneath my panels and gained five degrees. In the winter when the snow comes in and reflects off the back of the panel, I’ve gained 15 degrees.” Becky wasn’t always sold on solar, but that changed last winter when Gary was in the hospital for seven weeks after a knee surgery went south. “I was skeptic about the solar thing. Solar was his gig. We had hooked up solar to our wood boiler; but when he was in the hospital, I kept going to put wood in the boiler, and I wouldn’t have to fill it. I thought that was really cool.”

Gary is constantly experimenting with his solar heat on his property. “I came up with my own design,” Gary said. “Everyone said it wouldn’t work, even the distributor. We were burning 28 to 30 cords of wood in our boiler. We hooked solar to our boiler and we heat all these buildings, plus our house. Last year we only went through eight cords.” The two work with a distributor called Northern Lights Solar Solutions out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada who has told Gary he is the only one in the United State who experiments to the extent he does. Gary wants to know exactly how much heat he’s gaining from this solar systems and how he can improve at all times. Currently, he is changing to a smaller tank at his home.

OPINION Letters to the editor 40 Days for Life

Are you aware of the videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s involvement in selling of aborted baby parts and organs? If not, you have not heard or read about it because most media sources are not reporting it. What we often hear is, “it is not newsworthy enough.” Not in this case however. This is a cover-up. Planned Parenthood has a great deal to lose – their profitable business in abortions, our tax dollars, corporate support, legislative support, their reputations of helping women and more. If you do not believe this is happening, go to the Center for Medical Progress site and check it out. Are you ready to do something about it? 40 Days for Life is having a mid-rally gathering in conjunction with the National Rally for Life located at 451 East St. Germain Street in St. Cloud on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 9-11 a.m. The pre-born in Minnesota and our nation are relying on you and me to defend them and be their voice.

Benton County celebrates National 4-H Week

More than 6 million young people across the country will be celebrating National 4-H Week on Oct. 4-10. Benton County 4-H leverages National 4-H Week to celebrate the great things that the 4-H youth development program offers young people and highlights the incredible 4-H young people who each day work to a make a positive impact on their community. The 4-H youth development program provides learnby-doing experiences to encourage youth to experiment, innovate and think independently. 4-H programs are offered through school-based, afterschool and camp settings and within community clubs, where groups meet regularly to work on projects, perform community service and develop leadership skills. Through this unique pro-

cess, youth obtain essential life skills such as problem solving, decision making, coping and communicating. “4-H provides positive nonschool learning opportunities that are critical for the development of young people,” said Dorothy McCargo Freeman, State 4-H Youth Development Program Leader. “As a result, 4-H youth are able to contribute and make a difference in positive ways in their homes, schools and communities throughout Minnesota.” Today’s 4-H projects include the traditional and still popular agriculture and animal science projects. But 4-H youth also work on cutting-edge technology projects, such as aquatic robotics, digital photography, community service and environmental projects, such as main-

taining local hiking trails and testing water in area streams for contaminants. Recent findings from Tufts University’s 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that young people in 4-H are three times more likely to contribute to their communities than youth not participating in 4-H. Notably, the Tufts research discovered that the structured learning, encouragement and adult mentoring that 4-H’ers receive play a vital role in helping them actively contribute to their communities. 2015 Benton County 4-H statistics: There are 459 4-H members and 149 screened volunteers; 4-H clubs are volunteer run, with support from 4-H staff; and there are currently 20 clubs in Benton County.

Regular Agenda A. Rescue Airboat for Sauk Rapids Fire Department Jack Kahlhamer noted that the City was approached by Madelyn Adamski about her desire to do a fundraiser for the Sauk Rapids Fire Department. Kahlhamer said that he felt that it would be best if Ms. Adamski did a presentation regarding her fundraising desires for the City Council. Madelyn Adamski,15 year old old daughter of Sauk Rapids Fire Fighter Jason Adamski, informed the Council that she recently approached the Sauk Rapids Fire Department regarding her desires to put together a fund raising drive that will raise enough dollars for a rescue airboat for the Fire Department. Ms. Adamski stated that that the airboat that she is hoping to raise enough funds for costs approximately $35,000-$50,000. The main difference between an airboat and a standard rescue boat is its ability to go on many terrains. The unique design of the airboat allows it to maneuver over rocks, weeds, or other objects in the water. Airboats are able to go over mud or dirt roads and can maneuver in shallower parts of water as well as on ice. Jason Adamski, Sauk Rapids Fire Fighter, noted that his daughter put this presentation together on her own after hearing about or seeing some of the rescues that the Fire Department has had to do in the past. He stated that the Fire Department obviously gets the job done with the current boats, but the Sauk

Rapids Fire Department has been going back and forth on getting a boat, like this, for a number of years. Fire Fighter Adamski noted that his daughter already has raised $1,000 to go toward an airboat for the Fire Department. The hope is that the City Council will grant permission to move forward with this fundraising effort. Councilperson Hunstiger mentioned that if his memory is correct, there were 3 fire boat rescues last year when the water was high and rough in the Spring. He stated that he spoke with the Fire Chief following these rescues, and he remembers the Fire Chief saying, “I was concerned when I sent that boat out”. Councilperson Hunstiger stated that he felt the airboat was a great idea, especially for when the water is rough. He thanked Ms. Adamski for her taking the iniative on this. Ross Olson said that this situation is not unique to Sauk Rapids in that every municipality shares the desire to provide all of the necessary equipment to its Fire Department. Olson noted that with the uniqueness of Sauk Rapids having the Mississippi River, the Fire Department is called out for river rescues. Olson said that while this particular piece of equipment is exciting, it is also very expensive. He noted that it is very impressive that a community member is willing to bring the idea of the fundraising effort up. Olson recommended going back to the Fire Department subcommittee with ideas on how to move forward. Mayor Gunderson said that as a citizen he is excited about this fundraising effort, but as the Mayor he wants to ensure that everything is being done right. Mayor Gunderson said that he is in favor of the effort, but he wants to discuss it further to make sure that everything is done correctly. He said that he, as one part of the Fire Department Sub-Committee, would be willing to meet as a Committee to hammer out the details and bring this back to the City Council. Councilperson Thronson, as the other half of the Fire Department Sub-Committee, agreed with Mayor Gunderson regarding her willingness to meet as a Committee and discuss how to proceed. Councilperson Thronson commended and thanked Ms. Adamski for taking on this huge undertaking. She said that the subcommittee will do its best to get this where it needs to be. Councilperson Thronson thanked Adamski for her willingness to do this for the community. B. 2016 Preliminary Levy Motion: Moved by Councilperson Thronson and seconded by Councilperson Sauer to approve the resolution adopting a preliminary 2016 tax levy. Motion carried unanimously. C. American Legion DIM Agreement Motion: Moved by Councilperson Sauer and seconded by Councilperson Thronson to authorize City staff to prepare documents for the release of the DIM mortgage from the Legion property upon full repayment of outstanding principal and interest. Motion carried unanimously. D. Feasibility Study for 2016 8th Street North Improvement Project Motion: Moved by Councilperson Sauer and seconded by Councilperson Hunstiger to approve the Resolution Ordering Preparation of Report on the 2016 8th Street North Improvement. Motion carried unanimously 11. Other Staff Items A. September 29th St. Cloud Area Joint Cities Meeting in St. Joseph Ross Olson noted that the next St. Cloud Area Joint Cities meeting will be September 29, 2015. This meeting will be hosted by the City of St. Joseph. If interested in attending, please contact Administration. Olson stated that the agenda will be sent out when it is finalized. 12. Other Council Items and Communications A. Council E-Mail Discussion The Council agreed by consensus to direct staff to set up City Council e-mail addresses on the City’s server and connect them to the City issued i-Pads. Councilperson Hunstiger requested that Dana Furman update the City website with the City Council’s new e-mail addresses once they are set up, so that residents have their new contact information. 13.

The St. Cloud Police and Fire Departments came together on Sept. 19 to raise money for Tanner’s Team Foundation and participate in a flag football game at Apollo High School. This was the second year of the event. The game drew a crowd of 300. Total amounts raised by the group the day of the event were approximately $3,000. Tanner’s Team Foundation is a local group formed to help families in Central Minnesota with kids who have life-threatening illnesses. The foundation was created in honor of Sauk Rapids’ Tanner Fuls, who lost his battle with MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) when he was just 11 years old. Tanner’s Team has PHOTO SUBMITTED helped over 90 families since TJ, the Tanner’s Team mascot, and Tanner’s Team board members and children pose at the Nov. 2011 by granting over second-year flag football game between the St. Cloud Police and Fire Departments at Apollo High School Sept. 19. $62,000 to these families.

Soccer ties it teal by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

The Sauk Rapids-Rice girls soccer team laced up their shoes in teal, to raise awareness for Ovarian cancer on Sept. 28. “I think it’s a good thing, it’s good for them to know about ovarian cancer and that it does affect people their age,” said head coach Kris Fremo. A young athlete, Kelly Laas, who was much like the girls on the soccer team, passed away from ovarian cancer. She was a 2011 Saint Cloud State University (SCSU) senior majoring in elementary education when she passed away on March 2, 2011 in her home in Frankfurt, Ill. Laas played for the softball team, as the right fielder. She began her softball career

at SCSU in 2008, posting a career .345 batting average and collected 123 hits in 116 games. Since her passing, Laas has been known as the SCSU softball team’s “Angel in the Outfield.” Even though Laas was from Illinois, she had and still has a local connection to Sauk Rapids-Rice. When Laas was attending SCSU, she lived with Ryan Szymanski and his now wife, Lindsay. Ryan’s sister, Kaelyn, currently plays soccer for the girls’ high school team. “Kelly is why we got so involved,” said Lindsay. “Ryan and I got married in September and all of the proceeds from our dollar dance went to the Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance (MOCA). For the fundraiser, the soccer team laced up in teal to raise awareness, but the team

also sold bracelets for a dollar each and accepted donations, and the proceeds went directly to the MOCA. The Szymanski family, after Laas’ passing, were the ones to start raising awareness in Central Minnesota.

This is the soccer team’s fourth year doing this fundraiser, and Fremo hopes to have the team continue to participate each September. “It makes them feel good that they can do something,” Fremo said.

September weather and phenology in review Weather: Warmer and drier than last year. Our average low and high temperatures were 57 and 76 degrees compared to last year’s 51 and 70 degrees. The coldest day was our first low in the 30s with a 39-degree reading on the 30th. Our warmest day was an 88-degree day on the 4th. It’s always cooler at the north end of Little Rock Lake. I’m sure 90s were common elsewhere. We did not fare well in the rain department. Only 1.56 inches for the month and 24.82 for the calendar year, compared to last year’s 2.82

Rice Fire Department Open House

Leading the Saluting great accomplishments in the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School

Allyson Walz Parents: Kelly Walz Grade: 11 Accomplishment: Is a forward for the Sauk Rapids-Rice Storm girls’ soccer team. She has scored three goals on the season. She is also involved in choir, Diggin Diversity Club, S.A.D.D club, Link Crew, FCA and WeDay club. She is also involved in youth group and a youth worship band called, “Wired.”

The Rice Fire Department had all vehicles open for tours on Oct. 4 during their open house celebration.

What do you like most about soccer? The people that I meet through the beautiful game of soccer. I love challenging myself and pushing myself further than I think I can go.

People gathered for pictures and to talk with the pilot and staff of the North Memorial Helicopter. The helicopter landed across the street from the Rice Fire Hall on Oct. 4 during the fire department’s open house.

What is your favorite thing to do on the field? My favorite thing to do on the field is to cross the ball and watch one of my teammates finish it. Tell us about the most memorable game you’ve ever been a part of. The most memorable game I have been a part of was this summer at Schwan’s Cup in Blaine. Our summer travel team got the chance to play against teams from Iceland and Norway. It was such a unique experience to play soccer with them. On the field, they spoke their language so we didn’t know what they were saying, but it was awesome coming together and having us all play the sport we love. What has been your favorite high school class to date? My favorite high school class was either biology or world history. The reason for both of these classes being my favorite had a lot to do with my teachers. Mr. Lewica and his student teacher, Mr. Thompson, taught me a lot about biology. They made learning fun and they created a place where I looked forward to going everyday. My favorite part about that class was how we started every day off with brain teasers to get our brains ready and moving for the day. Mr. Parsons didn’t only teach history in a way that I fully understood, he taught me many life skills, too.

Tell us about a skill you possess that most people don’t know. I play the ukulele. I first got introduced to this instrument four years ago when my sister went on a choir trip to Hawaii with school, and she bought one herself. I was always fascinated with this instrument and so I would play it when she wasn’t home because she didn’t want me to ruin it. Eventually she came around to the idea of me playing it, and she taught me a few chords. I immediately fell in love and bought my own. I have taught myself everything that I know about the ukulele. I play it in Wired and at FCA. I have come a long way in my ukulele abilities. I thought I would try out the mandolin so I bought that. The thing about my mando is that it’s way harder to pick up than the ukulele so I’m not so skilled at that yet.

Putting pink pride on display

What are some words you like to live by? Philippians 4:13. It says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I say this before and during every soccer game that I play. There are many reasons this verse is important to me. What is your favorite meal, movie, social media and song? My new favorite would be bacon wrapped chicken, and a classic favorite of mine would definitely be my grandma Di’s potatoes. Grandmas make everything better. I have always enjoyed “High School Musical,” I like the social media Instagram, and I don’t have a specific favorite song but I think Ben Rosenbush is really talented so anything by him is good. What do you look forward to most during your junior year? I am most looking forward to living in the moment of junior year. I’m ready to live this year and get through it without having to think of it as my lasts of senior year. I am most looking forward to seeing how much I grow as a person and to try new things.

The Flyers of Little Falls Community High School took flight to defeat Sauk RapidsRice 103-82 on Sept. 29. The loss is the Storm’s third this season. Despite the loss, the Storm are third in the CLC conference and fourth in Section 5A standings. “We always enjoy this part of the season as we begin moving forward with our championship season,” said head coach Ray Nelson. Ella Benoit tacked on two first-place finishes with her 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke wins. Benoit joined Sabel Omvongkot, Larissa Kleen and Anna Lucas to take the 400 freestyle relay. Lucas, Omvongkot, Kleen and Mikayla Zaske combined for the 200 medley relay title. Omvongkot then took first in the 200 freestyle and Lucas added two secondplace finishes on the night in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke. “We had the opportunity to compete in some different events to see where we stand in regards to our team depth,” Nelson said. 200 MR: Anna Lucas, Sabel Omvongkot, Larissa Kleen, Mikayla Zaske 1st 1:59.04 200 FS: Omvongkot 1st 2:13.22, Madison Davis 4th 2:19.96 200 IM: Tana Hendrickson 2nd 2:35.53, Katlyn Dehn 5th 2:47.58 50 FS: Ella Benoit 1st 27.00, Kristen Petron 4th 28.51 1 MTR Diving: Kelsey Christensen 3rd 135.25, Kleen 4th 121.65 100 FLY: Bailey Olson 3rd 1:13.59, Petron 5th 1:15.27 100 FS: Lucas 2nd 58.18, Hendrickson 4th 1:01.46 500 FS: Kleen 2nd 6:12.03, Davis 4th 6:21.21 200 FSR: Petron, Olson, Hendrickson, Benoit 1st 1:50.32 100 BK: Lucas 2nd 1:05.47, Omvongkot 3rd 1:10.78 100 BR: Benoit 1st 1:11.51

Sauk Rapids-Rice 96 St. Cloud Tech 90 In a home meet where every stroke, inch and breath counted, the Storm came out of the pool victorious in their defeat over St. Cloud Tech on Oct. 1. “We truly performed well as a group,” Nelson said. “It was a fun environment and allowed us to prove how good we can be.” The Storm took first in nine of 12 events. Lucas captured the 200 and 500 freestyle, Benoit came away with the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke, while Omvongkot took the 50 freestyle and Kleen with the 100 backstroke. “There were so many great races against Tech, but we did the fundamentals correctly which proved to be the difference,” Nelson said. The Storm toppled Tech in two of three relays. Kleen, Benoit, Lucas and Omvongkot took the 200 medley and 200 freestyle; while Zaske, Petron, Olson and Hendrickson fell in second in the 400 freestyle. 200 MR: Kleen, Benoit, Lucas, Omvongkot 1st 1:56.46; Hendrickson, Olson, Davis, Zaske 3rd 2:05.04 200 FS: Lucas 1st 2:03.95, Hendrickson 4th 2:16.10 200 IM: Benoit 1st 2:25.56, Olson 3rd 2:31.63 50 FS: Omvongkot 1st 26.12, Petron 5th 27.78 1 MTR Diving: Christensen 3rd 129.05, Taylor Daniels 5th 91.50 100 FLY: Kleen 1st 1:05.33, Davis 3rd 1:10.24 100 FS: Omvongkot 2nd 58.80, Zaske 4th 1:01.59, Petron 5th 1:01.83 500 FS: Lucas 1st 5:36.35, Dehn 4th 6:25.05 200 FSR: Lucas, Kleen, Benoit, Omvongkot 1st 1:44.59 100 BK: Kleen 1st 1:06.34, Hendrickson 2nd 1:08.74 100 BR: Benoit 1st 1:10.80, Olson 2nd 1:16.12 400 FSR: Zaske, Petron, Ol-

The Sauk Rapids-Rice volleyball team is starting to get hot. The Storm won their third straight Central Lakes Conference match when they defeated the St. Cloud Tech Tigers 2512, 18-25, 25-18, 25-23 Oct. 5 in Sauk Rapids. “They are starting to put it all together,” said head coach Dave Anderson. “It’s a good time of year to make that happen.” The game of the night was the fourth game. SRR fell behind 19-11 but then outscored St. Cloud Tech 14-4 the rest of the way to win the set and the match. “They were able to stay after it and chipped away,” Anderson said. Anderson said the difference throughout the night was the Storm’s passing and their quick offense was able to keep

the Tigers on their heels. “Offensively, we were able to run a lot of our quick stuff. We were able to control the ball which allows us to run our offense,” Anderson said. Five different Storm players were able to register five kills or more in the match. Kyra Harvey led the way with 14. Brooke Butkowski added a season high of 11 kills. “We are able to get her the ball more. We moved her from right front to middle and they weren’t able to stay with her quickness,” Anderson said. Bailey Becker had nine and Angela Konz chipped in seven. Paige Folkerts had six kills for the Storm. “We were able to take a free ball to our setters and then attack them. We kept them on their heals defensively,” Anderson said. The Storm setters were very busy as well. Morgan Held

Sauk Rapids-Rice 5A True Team Section Meet Eight teams traveled to Sauk Rapids-Rice High School on Saturday to face off in the 5A True Team Section Meet. After a long day of swimming and diving, the Storm landed in fourth behind the talents of Monticello, Foley and Big Lake. “This meet allowed us to see where things may fall for the Section 5A Meet in November,” Nelson said. “It showed where we stand and in which events we can improve, but also gave us an indication of our chances for the state meet.” In a pool of tough competition, the Storm had their fair share of top finishes. Kleen, Benoit, Lucas and Omvongkot showed their strength in the first event as they combined to win the 200 medley relay to begin the day. Their time of 1:54.82 fell only 0:0.42 short of the 2010 Monticello record. “We have a very strong medley team and were able to see where we stand, the record would have been great, but we were glad to see that we are

still strong in that event,” Nelson said. Kleen took first in the 100 backstroke and teammate, Hendrickson wasn’t far behind with her third place finish. Benoit captured 2nd in the 100 breaststroke and placing second in the 200 freestyle, 50 freestyle, and 100 butterfly were Lucas, Omvongkot and Kleen, respectively. Coach Nelson was more than pleased. “It was a great meet to showcase our depth and to get a number of individuals on the podium,” he said. The girls will dive in again when they travel to face St. Cloud Apollo on Friday. Then, they will host Willmar on Tuesday, Oct. 13.

In a nonconference match-up last Tuesday, Sauk Rapids-Rice defeated the visiting Becker Bulldogs (1-5 Granite Ridge Conference) 1-0. Grant Marolf scored the lone goal in the second half and was assisted by McKinley Lain. Marolf’s goal marked his second game-winning goal in consecutive games and his ninth goal in five games.

St. Cloud Cathedral 6, Sauk-Rapids Rice 1 The Storm visited St. Cloud on Monday and traveled home with a 6-1 loss to St. Cloud Cathedral, bringing

Junior midfielder Everett Moliga assisted the goal. Storm suffered a batch of bad bounces and began the game flat. “We just could not get things turned around after Cathedral posted an early 2-0 lead,” said head coach Chad Keller. Ethan Baker had eight saves on the night. The Sauk Rapids-Rice boys hosted St. Cloud Tech (10-1-2 overall) on Tuesday and welcome Willmar (9-4-1 overall) on Friday.

Whalers fall to Granite City Lumberjacks in two-day series

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – NA3HL’s Wisconsin Whalers and Granite City Lumberjacks left it all on the ice as they paired up for a two-game series at the Armadillo Deck Arena this past weekend. Granite City swept the series 4-3 and 6-3, sending the central division team home with more losses. The Lumberjacks fell early in the first period on Oct. 2 as the Whalers put two goals on the board. Forward linesmen Matt Flom, Michael Piehler and Tanner Skaja pulled together and put one in the net for Granite City with a little over five minutes left in the period. Piehler scored the goal with the others assisting. Shortly into the second period, the three rallied once again to tie the game with a

goal from Flom on a power play. Lumberjack defenseman Austin Hingtgen followed suit, putting another on the board for Granite City. It was Hingtgen’s first goal of the season. He was assisted by defenseman Casey Esselman and forward Adam Marty. Although adding one more to the net, the Whalers could not break the Jacks. Flom would score another power play goal before the end of the game with an assist by Lucas Carroll and Will Mix. Wisconsin pulled their goalie with a little over a minute left in the game to try and tie the game but were not successful. Granite City’s Robbie Goor had 16 saves while Whaler Evan Moyse recorded 25. The Lumberjacks and Whalers served 16 minutes

Storm rolls through Apollo

Defense creates six turnovers; offense runs for 390 yards in 30-6 win by BRYAN ZOLLMAN STAFF WRITER Despite missing key players to injuries, the Sauk RapidsRice Storm came away with a thunderous victory on Friday, defeating St. Cloud Apollo 30-6 in St. Cloud. The victory came after a debilitating defeat to Sartell where not only did the Storm lose 49-0, but also lost key twoway player Richard Carriveau to a neck injury. “I’m impressed with our kids,” said head coach Bill Magnuson. “When you take one of your better offensive players in Korey Keske and lose him and then beat Tech and then lose Carriveau and beat Apollo, that says a lot about

this team.” Keske was the team’s leading rusher when he suffered a season-ending knee injury prior to the Tech win, and Carriveau is a senior captain who can dominate on both sides of the ball. But others stepped in and stepped up, showing the depth of the Storm. And they did it on both sides of the ball, creating six turnovers on defense and rushing for 390 yards on offense. After a scoreless first quarter, senior quarterback Matt Johnson capped off a drive with a 2-yard touchdown run, one of four touchdowns the Storm scored on the ground. Koby Thelen ran in for the two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead. By

In the third Eric Burski just seven attempts. quarter, Thelen got That’s because the offensive into the mix with a 43-yard line was pushing off the ball touchdown run and another well, creating gaps for the four Johnson two-point conversion runners who all gained at least for a 24-0 lead. Then senior 56 yards, led by Drew Ander- Drew Anderson raced in from 55 yards out and after another Johnson conversion made it 300. Johnson had another run for 57 yards on his way to a career game, averaging an astounding 22 yards a carry. Apollo tacked on a late score for the 30-6 win. Defensively, the Storm was relentless, creating six turnovers that not only thwarted Apollo drives, but also resulted in great field position for the offense. “We gave up some yards but we made some good plays and caused some turnovers,” said Magnuson. “We shut down

some of their drives. We had a lot of kids step forward that had some first-time starts. It was a total team effort.” Also recovering fumbles were Tommy Wittowski and Daunte Keller and Ethan Bengtson had an interception to help lead the defense. Johnson said the homecoming loss last week was a tough one to swallow but that he and his teammates weren’t going to let it drag them down. “We just tried to keep our heads high even though it was a disappointing loss,” he said. “We didn’t want to hold that on our shoulders. We tried to look past it. We had a good week of practice.” Magnuson said the senior leadership has played a key role in the success of this year’s team. After a long losing streak, they are now 3-4 on the season while playing a difficult schedule. “It was a very nice win for the Storm after not having a great homecoming the week before,” Magnuson said. “I’m proud of our kids stepping up and playing hard and determined.” The Storm will host Willmar this Friday in Sauk Rapids. The Cardinals are also 3-4 and are coming off a 29-24 win over St. Cloud Tech. It should be a good game between two teams who are hoping to end their regular season with a .500 record. Johnson said he hopes Friday’s win over Apollo carries over into this Thursday’s

contest. “It’s a big win for our community and for our school,” he said. “Hopefully we can get one against Willmar and get some energy heading into playoffs.”

Hockey continued from front on eight infractions, and 14 minutes on seven infractions, respectively. From the first face-off, both teams played cold as ice Oct. 3 as Granite City and the Whalers prepared to fight for the win, literally. At just over five minutes into the game, Lumberjack defenseman Ben Haugo ripped an unassisted backhanded goal to give Granite

City an early lead. Granite City forward Tommy Giller added to the Jacks’ lead with a goal assisted by Flom. The Jacks fought back and forth for the lead with the Whalers until coming out on top. Both teams made swinging doors of the penalty box with 44 penalty minutes on 10 infractions for the Whalers and 47 minutes on 10 for Granite City. Crowds wit-

nessed two game ejections for Whaler Ben Ratner and Granite City’s Giller. Lucas Carol, Will Mix, Esselman and Marty all scored for Granite City. Alex Durand, William Sprink, Tyler Mros and Giller also each racked up one assist. Granite City goalie Mac Bergolve saved 21 shots on goal from Wisconsin. Whaler Evan Moyse received a workout from the Jacks, fending PHOTO BY NATASHA BARBER off 29 shots on goal during the A fight broke out between Wisconsin Whaler Ben Ratner and game.

Tennis team hits hard on and off the court by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

The Collision girls’ tennis team (Sauk Rapids-Rice, Apollo and Cathedral) has worked hard in matches this season, but they work even harder before they get to competition. The girls practice every day after school until 5:30 p.m., doing warm-ups, stretching, drills and match play. Depending on the week, the girls train for 10 hours, with some playing on weekends as well. The varsity girls typically continue to play indoors at the end of the season, playing on courts in places like Fitness Evolution. In addition to playing on the courts, the girls do conditioning and cardio off the

court to build their endurance. “Since tennis is pretty fast-paced, the girls are frequently doing lateral drills to help replicate match play,” said coach Trisha Bemboom. The girls travel throughout Central Minnesota to compete against various teams, but the farthest they’ve traveled is Fergus Falls. “This year, the girls worked hard and have a lot to be proud of. They are a young team with lots of potential. The scores didn’t always reflect the intensity of the match play, but they worked hard and will continue to learn from their experience,” said Bemboom. The team hopes to do well in their section play, which begins on Friday.

Saluting our area Fire Departments and the men and women who dedicate themselves to keeping our communities safe.

Practice makes perfect when preventing fire deaths by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

Communities are surrounded by public servants. Firefighters, police officers and EMTs all put their lives on the line to protect families near and far. But while those people train to rescue, when’s the last time you’ve practiced saving your own life? “All of the kids from kindergarten on up know how to get out of their school,” said Sauk Rapids Fire Chief Jason Fleming. “They know where they are supposed to meet. But probably none of them have ever done a drill at their house.” With Fire Prevention Week upon us, the Sauk Rapids Herald, along with the surrounding departments, would like all readers to take it upon themselves to assess their family’s emergency fire plan and practice. According to the 2013 Fire in Minnesota report, the state has an average of 4,902 residential fires each year. During that same year 32 people lost their lives in those fires. “If you practice and have a plan, things go a lot calmer and smoother in an emergency situation for both parents and children,” Fleming said. Fleming believes people should exercise E.D.I.T.H. with all occupants in their home. E.D.I.T.H., or Exit Drills in the Home consists of three main components: planning your escape route and knowing two ways to get out of each room in your home, designating an area for household members to meet

in case of emergency, and literally “drilling” the routine into your head by practicing, practicing, practicing. “The biggest thing is the meeting place because many parents are injured going back into houses they’ve already escaped from looking for missing children or other family members. There are news stories every year. It’s a big deal for everybody,” Fleming said. The Fire Prevention Association says most fatal fires happen between the hours of midnight and 8 a.m. when most people are asleep. On average you have about 2 ½ minutes to exit the home after fire alarms sound. Without a practiced escape plan, you and your loved ones may not get out. “To be better prepared, it is wise to create an emergency exit strategy in your house. If possible show two different ways to exit each room. Make sure windows and doors open easily without struggle. Practice the bedroom emergency escape routes with smaller children. Some kids may have never opened their bedroom window before. Some kids’ bedroom window may be too high or too dangerous. Whatever method you use, you have to practice it or you won’t know what to do. If someone has a ladder and doesn’t know how it works, they’re not going to know how it works when they’re frightened,” Fleming said. Some tips to go over during a drill are: get low and go—always stay low as heat and smoke rises; sleep with your bedroom door shut to

Practicing E.D.I.T.H. (exit drills in the home) can help save lives. Having a designated meeting place outside the home is critical, preventing people from searching for loved ones who are already safe outside.

prevent smoke and flames from reaching you should there be a fire; use the back of your hand to feel for heat before opening a door, if the door is hot you’ll know to find an alternative route out; if in a situation where you feel stuck, turn the lights on and throw something that will get someone’s attention out a window (like a pillow or toy), the first person on the scene is taught to look for these signals; and never, under any circumstances go back inside. When practicing the fire drills at home, Fleming suggests testing and using the smoke alarms present in your house to become familiar with their sounds. “People hit the snooze how many times on their alarm clocks until finally the little voice in the back of their head tells them that was the

alarm clock. They need to recognize smoke alarm sounds the same way as you recognize alarm clocks,” Fleming said. “This will also ensure you know they are working.” According to the National Fire Protection Agency, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a residential fire in half. Smoke detectors should be tested monthly, and batteries should be changed twice a year. But remember, creating a designated spot for all household members to meet during a fire is crucial to preventing injuries and deaths to both you, your family, and the firefighters coming to your rescue. The neighbors’ steps are ideal because they have shelter and blankets during in-

Whether you need your vehicle towed across town or across the country, you can count on our Roadside Assistance Team.

Fire extinguishers should be pressure tested (a process called hydrostatic testing) after a number of years to ensure that the cylinder is safe to use. Consult your owner's manual, extinguisher label or the manufacturer to see when yours may need such testing. If the extinguisher is damaged or needs recharging, replace it immediately!

House of Hazards Hazards

Foley Fire responds to an average of 240 calls per year and provides Fire & Rescue Services to a 272-square-mile area consisting of:

During Fire Prevention Week, take time to inspect your home for common household fire hazards like the ones shown here.

Get rid of stored newspapers and other trash which could start or spread a fire more quickly.

Keep electrical appliances safely away from sources of water. Use a screen to contain fireplace sparks and keep all flammable materials a safe distance away.

Never store highly flammable liquids, like paint thinner or gasoline, inside your home.

Test smoke alarms monthly and replace batteries twice a year.

Never smoke in bed. Matches and lighters should be stored safely out of children’s reach.

Never leave burning candles unattended by an adult.

Don’t overload electrical outlets.

Benton County City of Foley, City of Gilman, St. George Twp., Glendorado Twp., Maywood Twp., Gilmanton Twp., Mayhew Lake Twp., Alberta Twp., Granite Ledge Twp.

Morrison County Lakin Twp., Morrill Twp.

POP QUIZ: Can you find two more fire hazards in this house?

1. Look in the bedroom. Loose or frayed cords on lamps and any other electrical devices should be repaired or replaced. 2. Look in the kitchen. Cooking food should never be left unattended on the stovetop or in the oven.

Smoke alarms save lives!

• Smoke alarms should be maintained according to manufacturer’s instructions. • Test smoke alarms at least once a month using the test button. • Make sure everyone in the home understands the sound of the smoke alarm and knows how to respond. • Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning to keep smoke alarms working well. The instructions are included in the package or can be found on the internet. • Smoke alarms with non-replaceable 10-year batteries are designed to remain effective for up to 10 years. If the alarm chirps, warning that the battery is low, replace the entire smoke alarm right away. • Smoke alarms with any other type of battery need a new battery at least once a year. If that alarm chirps, warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away. • When replacing a battery, follow manufacturer’s list of batteries on the back of the alarm or manufacturer’s instructions. Manufacturer’s instructions are specific to the batteries (brand and model) that must be used. The smoke alarm may not work properly if a different kind of battery is used.
