When the city held their Aug. 31 budget workshop, they found there had been a general fund revenue understatement; instead of a $300,000 gap of revenues over expenses, there was a $216,291 gap. To close the gap the rest of the way, more budget cut suggestions were proposed and put before the Sauk Centre City Council Sept. 7 during their regular meeting at Sauk Centre City Hall.

Facing rising prices, the City of Sauk Centre has had to make cutbacks in their planned general fund expenses in the preliminary 2023 budget.

“A lot of us didn’t feel like the program was really living up to what it should be,” Judkins said. “We really wanted to see some changes in our programming to follow more what the Scout program is as far as boys learning about the outdoors, camping, aspects that are typically part of Scouts. I think, with COVID and everything else, that fell by the wayside, and so it was just time to pick the program up and revitalize it.”

“This program isn’t just for the Scouts; it is for the parents as well,” said Sauk Centre Scouts committee chair Nikki Duchene. “Each parent can be involved in some way or fashion, whether that is being a den leader or simply helping with the day’s lesson. It truly takes a village to make the program succeed.”

Ben Judkins grew up as a Cub Scout in Maple Grove, a larger pack, and he has been the Sauk Centre Scoutmaster since March 2021. Around that time, he and other Scout parents came forward to reorient the group. The Cub Scout program had about 25 students in the early 2000s, but that number fell to ﬁve in 2021 and has since risen to eight; there is one Eagle Scout in the current troop, but he is about to leave in the fall.

While the council did not sign a community policing agreement, they did acknowledge how the process behind it has already strengthened how the Sauk Centre Police Department serves the local minority communities.

A few months ago, the SCPD met with a committee, including Hispanic community members, regarding the department’s policies and practices. According to SCPD Chief Bryon Friedrichs, discrepancies were noted in how the department handled trafﬁc stops, and so they began work on an agreement July 7; the agreement is essentially a memo of understanding, outlining the SCPD’s practices, none of which were changed.

For six students of Holy Family School in Sauk Centre, their individual love of stories has become a group pursuit with their book club. The six girls – fourth graders Kali Yarke and Brynn Borgmann and ﬁfth graders Lauren Sunderman, Elizabeth Friedrichs, Raya Nathe and Kadie Miller – are continuing this club into the school year, reading books and comparing them to their cinematic adaptations.

This year is the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Sauk Centre Boy Scouts, not to mention the 25th anniversary of the Sauk Centre Cub Scouts. As the group prepares to celebrate these milestones, though, new leadership within the organization is looking to revitalize the Scouts as their numbers have fallen to the single digits in recentTheyears.Sauk Centre Scouts will be holding a Join in Scouts night from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, in the Sauk Centre Elementary School cafeteria.

Tell us about the best meet you have been a part of. My eighth-grade section meet. I remember I dropped a lot of time and then had to compete in my first swim-off against one other girl from Sartell. I didn’t win, but the whole experience made me grow a lot as a swimmer.

What teacher has impacted your education the most? Mr. Schreiner. He has taught me many things, from American history to how to do a backstroke start. The most important lesson he’s ever taught me, though, is that who I am as a person is much more valuable than my grades or swim times.

How do you try to make a difference at school? I try to be kind and inclusive to everyone, because you never know what someone is going through.

“I read the whole book on the trip because I was very bored,” Borgmann said.“Matilda” is one of the book club’s favorites so far; Borgmann herself was initially not interested in it, but she got hooked after reading the ﬁrst 10 pages.

the Sauk Centre Scouts were not following many of the program’s requirements for advancement, and pack meetings were mostly focused around doing games with the Scouts. Since reorganizing, the pack has done two camping trips, one at the beginning of summer 2022 and one at the end, which the Scouts enjoyed; in general, the new Sauk Centre leadership is focusing on getting back to scouting’s

core, the outdoor activities.

all funds in 2023 came in around $11.1 million. The council approved the updated 2023 preliminary budget with the proposed cuts, and it will remain ﬂuid until the ﬁnal budget approval in December.Later, the council approved a 9% preliminary 2023 levy increase with 6% for the city share of the 2022 capital improvement project bond and 3% for all other funds. There was discussion about potentially increasing the levy by 9.5% or 13% – a number similar to other area cities – with the option of lowering the percentage later, but the idea was ultimately rejected.

Although their group is about a month old, the members have gone through four books so far: “Wonder” by J.R. Palacio, “Little House in the Big Woods” by Laura Ingalls Wilder, “Matilda” by Roald Dahl and “Beezus and Ramona” by Beverly Cleary. They are currently reading the C.S.

ideas for it, and then they usually make snacks and drinks,” Friedrichs said.

There is no time frame for reading a given book; once everyone is done reading, they will meet again to watch the movie adaptation. Borgmann is considered the group’s fastest reader, usually finishing first – even if she does not start first – and she read all of “Matilda” while on a trip to Canada.

read ‘Matilda,’” Miller said. “I’m glad I did, because it turned out to be a really goodAtbook.”thispoint, the group has liked the movie adaptations they have seen, and once they are done with the book and movie, they have discussions about them. Sometimes, they get printed-out discussion questions and cut them into individual pieces of paper before folding them up and putting them in a bucket or hat; whatever question is drawn is what guides the club’s reﬂections.Thebook club is open to new members, but they prefer to start with fellow students who are already known to all or most of the group; they also do not want the group to get too large, making it easier to have everyone on a similar reading schedule. For now, they look forward to reading more books, watching more of their movies and talking more about them – all while gaining a better appreciation for the art of storytelling.

“My son Garret truly loves the program and the friends he has made,” Duchene said. “The best part is probably the Pinewood Derby races; who doesn’t like a good competitive race? Plus, now he is learning skills that will stay with him for the rest of his life. They teach the Scouts about leadership and teamwork, how to problem-solve and make friends.”

Ordinance enforcement

For example, the Bear Trap recently did a golf outing in memory of Linda Walker to raise funds for scholarships. Did the Bear Trap gain a few more faithful customers? I hope so. Did they raise funds to give out several dollars in local scholarships? Absolutely. Will there be a group of grateful seniors and surprised parents as they are handed out in the spring? Most deﬁnitely.

We walked up the back path and heard a young voice saying, “Oh, oh, I see trouble coming!” Family members were relaxing in the beautiful garden there, so we visited with them for quite a while. The priest stopped by, and we all carried on a lively conversation. Eventually, everyone turned to go.

Some weeks, there’s so much going on that you can’t choose just one area to devote your focus. Such is the case for me this goround, so let’s take a look at two of the biggest recent headlines.The ﬁrst and most obvious thing to happen over the last week, of course, was the death of Queen Elizabeth II. As England’s queen for 70-odd years, it’s safe to say that most of us, even those in retirement, do not remember a time when Queen Elizabeth wasn’t on the throne (and if you do, please contact me so we can write a story about it). One can’t help but feel sympathetic for our friends across the pond as they must get reacclimated to saying “God save the king.”

Purchase with a purpose

Kindred spirits in the garden

I imagine their family reunions are a blast.Back to their hair and a random thought: These women were not very old. I would guess “No. 12” to be in her early to mid 50s, and for “No. 2,” maybe early 70s. In 2022, does it take having nine sisters in a family to give women the total conﬁdence to embrace their natural hair color in all its glory?

Letter

when they do not bother with enforcing the ordinances that they already have on the books. If you have a complaint about a broken ordinance, it will take you many months, if not even years, to get them to do anything about it. Good luck to all who live next to these rentals if they have a problem with the ordinances not being followed.

Coming up this month, on Sept. 22, Crazy J’s is donating a portion of their proceeds to the Sauk Centre Area History Museum. So, by simply choosing to have dinner there and making a purchase with a purpose, the history museum will beneﬁt as well, this in turn providing a valuable resource in our community. This circle of community, however starts with you. You make the purchase, the business is able to donate, another organization is able to raise funds for much needed projects, the recipients of those funds always ends up being someone or something who further builds up and supports our community. Who knew that simply buying a burger or playing a round of gold could make such an impact? Now that you know, how will you change the way you spend? Make supporting local a mindset, not a holiday or marketing activity, but a way of life. It can start with something small; make a conscious effort to replace a purchase by making it a local purchase. Keep your money circulating through our community by spending it here. Chances are you still earned your miles and cashback, but what an incredible circle of giving you have created with just one purchase. Challenge yourself to make a change and to make your spending habits an ultimate community collaboration by keeping the circle going and keeping the money where it matters: your community and your own backyard. Together, we can make a difference when we make a purchase with a purpose.

It’s easy to simply click and ship and avoid shopping at all. It’s easy to forget or overlook all the ways these local purchases make a difference. Let this be a reminder that your local purchase does, in fact, make a difference, and you can see the community collaboration in action all the time if we just slow down to notice it.

I’m a little conﬂicted when it comes to this news. On one hand, I’m an English Major and appreciator of English literature, evidenced by my need to quote G.K. Chesterton for everything. I’ve also been to London and the Buckingham Palace area, and while I never saw Her Majesty anywhere, I enjoyed my time there.

I guess the most I can do with this news is pray Her Majesty is in a better place now, and at the same time, it’d be great if both England and Ireland get a good deal with their new monarch – although, considering how King Charles III is already 70-something, it might not be long before we have another royal rotation which may or may not include an Irish drinking party.

The real story wasn’t that fun. No, zombie ice is ice that’s no longer getting replenished by parent glaciers, doomed to melt and disappear from the overall ice sheet because of climate change. And, yes, Greenland’s zombie ice is projected to raise the world’s seas by nearly a foot once it all melts. Should this concern the people of Sauk Centre? Looking at our current elevation and doing some unreﬁned math, it looks like we’d need another 1,249 Greenland zombie-ice sheets to melt before we become beachfront property.

Of course, the oceanic elevation isn’t good news for our coastal cities. My inner frightful cynic isn’t that concerned; “Raising the sea a whole 10 inches?” it says. “Great! Maybe it’ll give those cities a badly needed washing.” Some likeable people might get caught in the tide, though, so let’s hope something can be done in However,time.

that brings me to the second reason I clicked on the AP article: The headline said nothing about a time frame, which I found odd. With these kinds of stories, they usually have a headline like “Melting glacier to raise sea level by 2050” or “Ozone depletion to cook world by 2030.” Well, it took a good deal of scrolling, but I found out the zombie ice is supposed to be melted “by the end of this century, or at least by 2150” – and that’s an educated yet unsupported guess.Well then. While I appreciate the article’s informative nature, I hope the ambiguous date wasn’t buried so pundits could use the headline as another opportunity to bash on the human race. That happens so often in news, movies and literature nowadays that I’m no longer surprised about our general modern self-esteem shortage. In the meantime, we can focus on the bright side: We have time to ﬁgure out what to do to mitigate this impending ocean rise, and zombie ice doesn’t actually result in zombies. I can only imagine what kind of controversies of succession would embroil England’s Parliament if an undead queen were to come shambling back to the throne.

Next on the docket is an Aug. 29 Associated Press News headline that caught my attention: “Zombie ice from Greenland will raise sea level 10 inches.” There were a couple of reasons I clicked on this top news story, the ﬁrst being that the term “zombie ice” sounded exciting; I pictured a story about a Greenland expanse ﬁlled with frozen Neanderthals, preserved in an undead state, and once their ice melted, it would unleash their brain-seeking hordes across an unsuspecting world.

It turned out Don and I weren’t ﬁnished.

These women were clearly joyful and enthusiastic as they spent time together and visiting with us. They had been on an adventure to southwest Minnesota and, at that point, were traveling through our area toward their homes farther north.

Sunday morning was beautiful – cool at ﬁrst, but still sunny and the epitome of a fall day.Around 11:30 a.m., Don and I stopped by Our Lady of the Angels Church because I needed to take care of something that would just take a few minutes.

They were excited to learn as much as they could about Sauk Centre. For them, this was a tourist site well worth visiting. They asked about other churches and gardens, about the murals, the Palmer House and the like. We were happy to oblige and tell them what we could. Among the group was one dairy farmer who receives the Dairy Star, and another sister is a huge fan of Country Acres. It turns out she even sent me a story idea for the paper some time ago. We followed through

How many times have you grabbed a credit card to make a purchase and you choose the one you get airline miles for? Or maybe you chose one that gives you a percentage cash back offer. You make decisions based on what you get back all the time because you want to get the most for your money when you make a purchase.Whensupporting local, the same thought process holds true. However, when purchasing local, you are likely still earning those rewards, and in addition, our local business is being rewarded as well. Our local businesses employ our family, friends and neighbors, and your purchase makes that happen. Our local businesses are repeatedly raising funds for other organizations and giving money back to our community, and now those organizations have benefited too. That organization has now donated money for new sports equipment, so the local high school team has now benefited as well. You have a child, niece, nephew or grandkids in sports, and they happen to have also benefited from that donation. Do you see the great big circle forming here? This is your money at work, at work in your community, and ultimately making a difference right back in your own home.

Anyway, by the time we parted ways, it was about 1 p.m. They were obviously not in a hurry.

The late queen and zombie ice

This is in regard to the Aug. 25 article about the moratorium on short-term rentals, wanting to give time for the city council and city planning commission, along with Stearns County, to prepare an ordinance regarding them.

on the lead, even though the man sent us to another guy he was mentoring. Small world. They explained to us how, in their family, they are each assigned a number. In this group, there was No. 2, 6, 8 and 12 if I remember correctly. Starting with the siblings and following with their kids and grandkids, each descendant is numbered into the low 200s.

I, for one, do not know why the city council or the planning commission even bother with any new ordinances

It was about 5:30 p.m. when I was driving through town again. I was shocked – though I shouldn’t have been – to see our visitors still here. This time, they were by the stoplights at Sinclair Lewis and Main, still clearly having fun, although I wondered if “No. 2” was struggling to keep up with the younger “numbers.”

To me, this is all cool in more ways than one. First is that a group of happy souls would ﬁnd joy in spending the entire afternoon exploring our little city. Second is their kinship with one another. They are proud to be part of a great big family. Not everyone can say that, nor would everyone even want to.

Their kindred spirits were evident, though, and it’s not often you meet people with such a high level of charisma. I think that comes from each one’s conﬁdence in their place in the family. What a gift.

Random Reflections by Diane Leukam

Four women had entered the garden from the other end and were looking around, clearly enchanted by the place. Their hair glowed in the sunshine, each one striking and a prettier silver than the other. I asked them if they were sisters, even though I already knew the answer.Yes, they are sisters. They are just four of nine. And, by the way, there are also seven bothers.

That’s not the case for everyone, of course, but it sure would be nice.

On the other hand, I’m Irish by marriage, and I’ve visited and enjoyed that island nation as well. Boy, you should’ve seen Twitter on the evening of the queen’s death; “Ireland” was trending right below “Queen Elizabeth II,” and the tweets in that area didn’t, shall we say, have as much respectful sympathy. “Quick,” said several tweets, “let’s reunite Ireland while they’re distracted!” The general consensus also seemed to be that the Emerald Isle was partying it up that night; considering Ireland’s history with their neighbors, not to mention their predisposition for alcoholic celebrations, this doesn’t surprise me at all.

Pat DuBois and Bud Bromen were both surprised during a Rotary meeting when it was declared that the day, Sept. 16, would be Bud Bromen and Pat DuBois Day, not only in Sauk Centre but statewide; proclamations from Gov. Arne Carlson and Sauk Centre Mayor Paul Thiesen were presented to each honoree. Bromen, a Rotarian since 1980, has been actively involved with the American Cancer Society, is a lector and Eucharistic Minister at St. Paul’s Catholic Church and is a member of the local Knights of Columbus and Catholic Aid. DuBois, a Rotarian since 1951, has been associated with banking for most of his life, being president of the Independent Bankers Association from 1966-7, and he has served three terms in the Minnesota House of Representatives and lobbied for farm issues in Washington, D.C. Both men served as Sauk Centre Rotary presidents, DuBois from 1955-6 and Bromen from 1985-6, and are both Paul Harris Fellows.

The notorious Fairy Lake Resort and accompanying farm became a thing of the past over the weekend. A year ago, the property had been sold at a sheriff’s sale to satisfy a First State Bank mortgage, which has since expired; last Tuesday, Ben F. DuBois, First State Bank vice president, caused the arrest of the resort’s former owner, W.A. Zimmermann, on the charge of grand larceny, alleging he had removed the electric light plant and dynamo connected with the buildings. Sheriff Johnson of Todd County put Zimmermann under arrest, and he is currently being held in Todd County Jail with a $500 bail. According to local reports, the Sunday night dances at the resort were a stench to society, and many parents will be relieved to know that the resort is closing.

I think the practices are starting to pay off.”

Loxtercamp compiled a 1:11.09 time in the 100 backstroke to win the event, while Schirmers, Bromenshenkel and Bick went 1-2-3 in the 100 butterﬂy to grab a combined 13 points.

However, seizing a win against a Storm team that previously defeated Sauk Centre by 21 points was earned through more than one event, as evidenced by its balance in a 97-89 win at Sauk Centre High School in Sauk Centre.

It’s exciting as coach and builds excitement for the girls as well.”The impressive triumph would not have been possible without the Streeters’ victories in all three relay events, including a soaring start in the 200-medley relay.

“A lot of people like to say it comes to the last relay, but it never really comes down to the last relay,” Schreiner said. “They don’t go out and win that medley relay, we might not be in that position to worry about that.

Sauk Centre collected points from an assortment of point-earners, including in the 200 and 500 freestyle competitions, which saw Pyper Vogt and Maizie Jennissen finish second and third, side-by-side. In the distance-driven 500 race, Vogt finished at 6:01.93, followed close behind by Jennissen.“They’re the first to congratulate each other outside the pool when they’re done with their races,” Schreiner said. “That’s a great friendly rivalry, to have that brings them up, and that’s going to bring the whole team up.”
