by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

The Sauk Rapids Fire Department responded to a house fire at 3135 Quarry Rd NE in Sauk Rapids on Sept. 4 at 11:35 a.m.

The home is owned by Don Girtz. Sauk Rapids Fire Chief Jason Fleming said the fire started in the kitchen and was most likely caused

by a cooking fire, although the cause is still being investigated.

No one was injured in the blaze.

The Sauk Rapids Fire Department was assisted by the Sartell Fire Department due to concerns of heat and the need for extra tanker trucks.

Gold Cross and the Sauk Rapids Police Department were also on scene.

Public water notice Starting Sept. 14, the Public Works Department will be flushing water lines. You may experience low pressure from time to time during the flushing procedure. Do not be alarmed, however, it will only be for a short duration, lasting less than one hour.

If the water from your tap becomes discolored during this time, let your tap run until it clears. It should not take

more than 10-20 minutes. The discoloration is not a hazard, only an aesthetic nuisance.

The discoloration is mineral deposits of manganese and iron, and is one of the reasons the water system is flushed.

The flushing project should be completed in two to three weeks.

Please call Craig Nelson at (320) 258-5318 with questions.

BOWLUS – Kevin Warzecha didn’t always live on a quiet, quaint piece of property outside of Bowlus, with his wife (who works as an adult education instructor at Hillside Adult Education in Sauk Rapids) and two young children. Almost 15 years ago, he was a Brooklynite, living on the corner of Bedford and Flatbush. He was a New Yorker among New Yorker’s, but each borough had its own identity.

“New York City was busy, always moving. The whole business about New York being ‘the city that never sleeps’ was true,” Warzecha said. “Even in September, it was warm and packed with tourists. New York was definitely on the upswing – less crime, more gentrification.”

Warzecha, who had moved to New York City to break into a

writing career, was 28 years oldd and an assistant installation man-ager for DGA Security Systems inn the Diamond District of midtownn Manhattan. The district and hiss security-monitoring center weree located between Fifth and Sixthh Avenues on 47th Street, aboutt four miles away from the Worldd Trade Center (WTC) complex..

The district has historically beenn the NYC epicenter for the distri-bution of diamonds on the Eastt Coast. According to Warzecha,, the Diamond District funnelss hundreds of millions of dollarss in diamonds every week. One off their channels for funneling thosee diamonds were the businesses in-side the WTC. The block Kevinn worked on had hundreds of peo-ple working in the WTC build-ings.

The life of a Poor Clare Sister is one of poverty, chastity, obedience and enclosure

SAUK RAPIDS – If you drive past the property on the corner of 4th Street South and Summit Avenue South, you’ll see a large privacy fence separating the outside world from the contents which lie within.

For some, the second thought of what is behind the tall fence has never come to mind. But for others who wonder, the walls – and the women within – remain a mystery.

Inside these partitions and buildings are 18 women, ages 38 to 95, who have given their lives to prayer and the Lord God by entering into the Poor Clare Monastery.

Moonlit Memories of Vegas from St. Cloud Joan Rydberg tells her story through the eyes of Sara Krueger

by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – Sara Krueger is a Sauk Rapids native who is finding her independence in the heart of Las Vegas.

But Sara isn’t exactly a real person; she’s the main character in Joan Rydberg’s book “Moonlit Memories of Vegas.”

“A lot of Sara is me,” Rydberg said. “She’s a recovering alcoholic. The story is pretty much Sara trying to find herself.”

Rydberg recalls going through her first treatment for her alcohol addiction in the 1970s. Although Rydberg has lived in St. Cloud all her life, she wanted Sara to be from Sauk Rapids.

Warzecha continued from front with clients on busy phone lines.

8:46 a.m. American Airlines flight No. 11 strikes the North Tower of the WTC complex.

Initial reports of a plane crashing into the North Tower of the WTC complex described the incident as an accident. In the office building, which was dark with minimal windows, Warzecha was enticed by a janitor to visit the worker’s office in the basement and view the incident on a small television.

tower, made it look like a Cessna had hit the tower. The size of the television made the events unfolding even smaller. It didn’t look like a lot of damage. It didn’t look like it was going to be important.

It was this little thing on the side of the building,” Warzecha said.

“No one thought anything of the situation other than that someone accidently parked a plane in the WTC building. It wasn’t an issue, until it became an issue.”

9:03 a.m. United Airlines flight No. 175 crashes into the South Tower.

“When the second plane hit, people realized this wasn’t a minor problem, but an orchestrated attack,” Warzecha said.

Still, New Yorkers don’t work themselves up over much and the people of the city didn’t realize the severity of the circumstances. But within the hour, the city would be pure chaos. At 9:59 a.m., the South Tower of the WTC complex succumbed to damages and fell.

10:28 a.m The North Tower falls.

After the buildings fell, Warzecha made his way from the basement to Fifth Avenue.

“It was the weirdest thing because Fifth Avenue was completely empty, no cabs, nothing,” Warzecha said. “The street was filled with people, but silent. All you could see when you looked towards the towers, was a huge waft of smoke pulling over Fifth Avenue.”

“We were the strongest nation in the world,” he said. “We weren’t prepared because we never thought this would happen to us. To think that someone could bomb the greatest nation in the world was so far out of our mindset that people believed the planes were accidents before questioning if something was going on. It was so far out of our wheelhouse that we couldn’t really conceptualize that someone would bring an attack home like that. Standing on Fifth Avenue, looking down the street, and seeing just billowing smoke and hundreds and hundreds of people standing there in the middle of the street looking at nothing but smoke – they couldn’t see the buildings – was ridiculous. The entire city was in shock.”

Events continued to unfold, and Warzecha wanted to help. He called to see if he could volunteer or help in any way and was told they had received enough

Vegas continued from front Later on, Anni, who is Sara’s good friend from Salt Lake City, comes to Vegas and stays with Sara. Anni is one of Rydberg’s best friends.

“She liked knowing Anni was her,” Rydberg said. “I’ve known her since I was 5 years old.”

As Rydberg was creating the story, she was thinking of how to make it relatable, and she did that through Sara.

“People who are recovering will see a little different slant, that’s my hope,” Rydberg said.

Rydberg’s journey to create the story is a unique one.

While many people would compile their writing using a computer, Rydberg never has. She handwrote the entire book, cover to cover.

“It was a mess as you can imagine, but there is some-

ways, I think that’s how she was sabotaging herself. She transferred from an alcohol addiction to a gambling addiction,” Rydberg said. “She put herself into habits that were not good for her recovery.”

Sara isn’t the only character based on someone Rydberg knows. Another of the main characters, Jim, is based on Rydberg’s partner of 10 years, Dave, who passed away in 2008.

Jim is the owner of the Colonial, a cheap hotel located a few blocks off of the strip, the meeting place for him and Sara.

“It just worked to have Jim own the hotel and that’s how they would meet,” Rydberg said. “Dave hated gambling, so it was an odd situation, but there wasn’t any gambling in the Colonial.”

After the book was completed, she had a friend offer to type her writing. Rydberg self-published, and admits it wasn’t an easy process.

nated permit areas. Some areas that have not been in the lottery classification in recent years are in that classification this year, primarily as a result of new deer population goals.

“Hunters should review the hunting and trapping regulation book now,” said Leslie McInenly, big game program leader with the DNR. “The lottery applies to over half of the state permit areas this year, and it’s important to start planning for the season.”

Hunters who want to participate in special firearm deer hunts need to apply for permits that are issued by lottery, and the application deadline is Sept. 10. More information on deer permit areas and special hunts is in the DNR hunting regulations handbook, found online at www.mndnr.gov/ hunting/deer.

through the guidance of an abbess who is elected from the group every three years.

Their daily 7 a.m. Mass, which is open to the public, is celebrated by Father Jerry Nordick who resides at the nearby Speltz house.

Scattered between the hours of the day is a small breakfast of coffee or milk with a sweet bread and a collation of cheese, eggs or cereal. The women, who are perpetually fasting and do not eat meat, eat one full meal throughout the day, generally consisting of a protein of fish, eggs or beans, potatoes, salad, vegetable and bread. In addition to meal-time and prayers, the women have periods of working time where they make altar linens, garden or do the daily upkeep of the building and property, as well as a small amount of recreational time when speaking is

ebrate Holy Days as their holidays and receive only small practical gifts, like soaps and lotions, from their families during Christmas.

“We keep our needs few and our holdings small,” said Abbess Mother Marie Immaculata.

Each day inside the monastery is the same. The community rises just before 5 a.m. and retires at 9 p.m. The women live an obedient lifestyle of prayer, including the Liturgy of the Hours in their daily schedule. The Liturgy of the Hours is known as the Divine Office or the Work of God (Opus Dei). It is the daily prayer of the Church, marking the hours of each day dedicating the day to prayer. According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Hours are a meditative dialogue on the mystery of Christ, using scripture and prayer. Each of the seven canonical Hours includes selections from the Psalms that culminate in a scriptural proc-

allowed.

Sister Mary Christiana, 38 and youngest of the Poor Clare Sisters of Sauk Rapids, grew up in Hammond, Ind. Growing up five minutes away from a men’s Carmelite monastery and attending Catholic school, her interest in St. Francis was sparked early on. She began attending daily Mass as a young adult, and became a theology major at Quincy University in Illinois. She worked as a youth minister and confirmation director at Sacred Heart Parish, Sauk Rapids for two years while working towards her master’s degree in theology at St. John’s University in Collegeville.

“I had interior and exterior struggles with what I wanted to do with my life, as well as relationship troubles. I began going to private hermitage retreats which made a big impact on my decision to join,” Sister Mary Christiana said.

Hermitage retreats are op-

portunities for people to escape the load of their everyday lives and become more present in their relationships with God through secluded prayer. Soon at 26 years of age, Sister Mary Christiana began her postulancy to live as Saint Clare of Assisi with the Poor Clares.

The process of becoming a Poor Clare is not a swift or short act. The community of other sisters want to make sure this lifelong commitment will be followed through without doubt and hesitation. The woman who follows her call spends one year as a postulant. During this period, she is helped to adjust to the life as a contemplative Sister. If wishing to continue with the order, she receives her holy habit and white veil of a novice.

During this two-year span as a novice, she strives to intensify her relationship with God and develop her understanding of life within the order. Upon completion of these years, the woman spends three additional years in temporary vows where she shares more responsibility in cloistered community activities and works more closely with the other Sisters. Once temporary vows have been made, it is expected that this will be the life you have chosen, but the process is not complete. After three additional years of training and dedication (a total of six years), the Sister finally takes her solemn vows and enters into the life of a Poor Clare for the rest of her days.

The Poor Clares came to Sauk Rapids after an invitation from Bishop Joseph F. Busch in 1923. They had been living in a community in northern Wisconsin which could no longer support them. On May 3, 1923, Sister Mother Mary Angela and Sister Mary Clare arrived in Sauk Rapids, chose a site for the monastery and the women have lived isolated on the hill in town ever since.

A special thanks to Poor Clare Monastery Mother Immaculata, Sister Marie Christiana, and Sister Mary Barbara for their continued support and welcoming the Sauk Rapids community into a look at their lives through this article.

As part of the Year of Consecrated Life declared by Pope Francis, the Poor Clares will participate in a worldwide celebration A Day of Prayer on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Sister Elizabeth and Sister Consolata pray during their daily schedule at the Poor Clares monastery in Sauk Rapids.

From approximately 1:30-4:30 p.m., the Poor Clares will welcome all to their chapel for Eucharistic adoration and prayer.

Attendees may come and join as able and do not need to stay

for the whole time period. The rosary will be prayed at 2 p.m. followed by a sung Divine Mercy chaplet at 3 p.m., and finishing with Benediction at 4:20 p.m.

say goodbye to their family and friends, and sacrifice all that is ever-changing for a simplistic routine life where they can be fully immersed in prayer.

“Life was getting too busy with meetings and outside activities,” said Sister Mary Barbara, who was a member and teacher with the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity for 33 years before joining the Poor Clares at age 50. “I found my heart divided between the love of prayer and the love to teach. I couldn’t do both things well. I longed for the prayer, the quiet, and the relationship with the Lord. I was losing that in the life I had.”

The Poor Clares are like another religious orders of the Catholic church such as the Benedictines, the Carmelites and the Crosiers, but share both similarities and differences from other groups. The women lead a secluded life, turning away from outside distractions, where they serve the church and the community through their life of prayer and penance. Their ultimate goal is a life with God. They enter into this union by taking four solemn vows. Their vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and the fourth vow under the Rule of St. Clare – enclosure – are all taken in order to free their lives of distractions in order to give themselves fully in life.

The contemplative order lives with no possessions of their own. Although some may think the group is supported financially through the Diocese of Saint Cloud, their lives are supported solely from the alms and gifts of the community. People in need of prayers will often exchange food and other necessities. In respect to their vow of poverty, the sisters walk barefoot and wear traditional habits bound at their waist by a cord with four knots representing their vows. The vow of enclosure provides an atmosphere of silence and solitude essential to their life dedicated to contemplative prayer. These women only leave the facility in the case of doctors’ appointments and medical emergencies, and silence is kept throughout the day with rare opportunities to speak freely amongst themselves.

The order is autonomous which means each Poor Clare monastery makes their own specific rules and decisions

Davis children educated through homeschooling

by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Last year, the Davis family – Jon and Jennifer and their children (from left), Micah, Stephen, Miriam and Simon – took a vacation to Mount Rushmore. Jennifer often uses opportunities, such as visiting historical sites, to teach her children a lesson for school.

After eight years of homeschooling, Davis sees many great advantages to teaching her children herself, and Simon is a good example.

Although she isn’t completely sure, Davis has seen signs of dyslexia in Simon, which has slowed his reading development. Davis has been able to slow the pace of his reading until he was ready to move forward; one-on-one student focus public schools sometimes can’t provide.

It’s because of Simon’s homeschooling that he was able to learn how to read at his own pace, and increase his reading level by three grades in just one year.

“In the last year, we saw him blossom,” Davis said.

“He was reading to me and looked up and he could tell I was close to crying. I said to him, ‘We did this, you and me. You didn’t come home

and show me you could read.

We did this together.’ We fought and sweat over it, but we had the triumph together.”

Many of the classes are taught at home, but occasionally, they attend classes to learn outside of their home through a co-op. This year, Davis is having her children work with Kathy Smith, a writing instructor, because she feels it’s not a subject she can teach as well as Smith.

They’ve also used the co-op for physical education classes and Stephen is using the co-op’s resources for their College Level Examination Program (CLEP), which helps him prepare for college.

Typically, Davis teaches when and how much she feels is necessary.

“I don’t always force them to push through something, but sometimes they have to go through the pain,

denying themselves the videogames in the other room,” Davis said.

While many homeschooling families are the traditional ‘school in the home’ families who start the school day at 8 a.m. and break for lunch, and then have more classes in the afternoon, Davis said they certainly aren’t.

“We are really kind of free-spirited,” Davis said. “I lay out a schedule so I know what needs to get covered, but I stick with it for a couple weeks, and then it just goes on the wayside. We start really slowly and work our way into it.”

Davis often takes advantage of opportunities when they are outside of their home, such as teaching a math or economics class in the grocery store or going to the library to read classic stories.

SAUK RAPIDS – Jennifer Davis is a graphic designer by trade, but on Sept. 7, she starts her favorite job.

Davis is a homeschool teacher for her four children, Stephen, 12, Simon, 11, Micah, 8 and Miriam, 4. The decision was made when Stephen was just a year-and-ahalf.

Davis’s father was a teacher, and later a principal, at a small Catholic school for 13 years. Jon Davis, Jennifer’s husband, had attended a public school, but Jennifer didn’t want her children in public education school system.

That’s when homeschooling entered the conversation.

“I thought it sounded like fun, but what about me and my time,” Davis said.

“I believe in the big guy, so I prayed about it and asked, ‘God, should I homeschool?’ and He said yes before I even got the full question out.”

While she is spending more time with her children, she has also fantasized about spending time away from her children if they were to attend school away from the home.

“I absolutely love homeschooling, but there are those days,” Davis said. “There are two schools right down the road, and the buses go by our house all the time. I’ve fantasized about shipping the kids off as the buses drove by. But, I’m so glad I stuck it out because it’s worth it.”

Davis feels she has gotten to know each of her children on a deeper level, and has been able to communicate with them better.

“Homeschooling and our small home has forced us to put family first,” Davis said.

Milling a memorial Zlatic’s creativity contributing to the Sartell Paper Mill Art Project

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER SARTELL – When 12-year-old Christopher Zlatic departed St. Louis, Mo., with his family, and arrived in Sartell; he developed a relationship with the Sartell Paper Mill.

The mill, which originated as Watab Pulp and Paper in 1905, was older than the City of Sartell itself. The 730,000 square-foot complex was a fixture in the community, and its sky-scraping signature steamstack could be seen for miles.

So when Zlatic, now 31, was asked to memorialize the mill’s importance to the community through the Sartell Paper Mill Art Project, he didn’t think twice.

“Professionally it’s a great opportunity. I’ve never done anything so visible,” Zlatic said. “Beyond that, I was a member of the community and had an intimate relationship with the mill – not as intimate as some – but still familiar. I thought it was important and potentially provocative to design a memorial.”

Artistic creativity was nothing new for Zlatic. Growing up surrounded by a family of artists, Zlatic’s artistic abilities were nurtured and developed early on.

“I had been pretty dedicated to art from an early age,” Zlatic said. “My grandma Patricia and my aunt Debbie were

My mom was a potter, and my dad dabbled in painting and drawing, as well. My mom had a clay studio my entire life, and I got into art doing clay work. I had a pretty rich experience as a child.”

Zlatic’s grandma was his biggest influence. She not only practiced art, but taught it as well. She would take her grandchildren into her studio and practice her curriculum. Zlatic acquired skills and his creativity flourished through the ex-

periences he was exposed to.

After his move to Minnesota and during time spent in the Sartell-St. Stephen School District, his passion for art never wavered. He attended an artsfocused boarding high school, Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, and studied at both the Arts Institute International of Minnesota and Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD.) Zlatic received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in drawing from

the installation will need to be manufactured in pieces while being placed in the park. Zlatic is confident the sculpture will evolve as planned.

“At this point, I’ve had the conversation with all the different players, and everyone understands what the outcome needs to be. I trust the engineer and the fabricator are on the same page as me. We’ve been talking about it for six months, so I trust that we all have the same objective in mind and the objective will be met,” Zlatic said.

If the artwork goes as planned, Zlatic’s and the rest of the pieces of the Sartell Paper Mill Art Project will be installed by the end of September in the Watab Creek and Val Smith Parks and a location near Sartell City Hall. The project was made possible with the help of project coordinator Heidi Jeub, a grant from the Central Minnesota Arts Board, and many donations from others throughout the surrounding communities. Northside Welding, Sauk Rapids and UV Concepts, St. Cloud, have helped Zlatic complete his vision for his memorial piece. This will be Zlatic’s first public art piece, but he is also currently working on a crosswalk design for the St. Cloud Arts Commission.

MCAD in 2009.

Zlatic is currently working on a meditative, lighted memorial to the paper mill, titled “Absence,” which will be installed in Sartell’s Watab Creek Park, located on Riverside Avenue North. He, and other artists involved in the Sartell Mill Art Project had the opportunity in August 2014 to meet with former mill workers and tour the MIDWEST CLASSIFIED NETWORK remnants of the mill before its destruction.

MOTORCYCLES WANTED: 60’s GET HELP NOW! One Button “I didn’t have any concepts and 70’s Motorcycles. DEAD OR Senior Medical Alert. Falls, Fires &

August weather and phenology in review Weather: All in all, about an average August. Some small differences were the average low temperature was a couple of degrees lower than last year’s 60.2 degrees F, compared to this year’s 58 degrees F. Significantly less rain at 3.73 inches compared to last year’s 7.45 inches.

We had lots of rain last year. We are 10 inches less in annual rainfall (23.26 inches) than last year.

The rain we received this year, however, was spread out evenly throughout the month, making

in mind when I took the tour,” Zlatic said. “Dennis Molitor [the group’s tour-guide] told a story of crawling into the steam dryers for repairs through a small man-hole. This job was reserved for the mill workers of smaller stature. That experience left an impression on me.

I knew I wanted to use those pieces, but for what I wasn’t sure yet.”

The light sculpture will use two 3,000-pound, six foot in diameter, steam dryer caps rescued from the demolition of the mill. The caps will be retrofitted with LED ribbon lighting, which will cast two rays of light into one another from behind frosted blue Plexiglas.

The expected outcome will be a tube of blue light, reminiscent of the blue color from the past operating mill. The piece will be able to be seen from the road, but is set farther back, under the shade of the park to allow the light to be seen even in daylight hours.

“It should still be an enchanting atmosphere. I wanted it to be a little more poetic and a private experience for people,” Zlatic said. “I imagine having fog rolling in off the creek in the fall or rain and snowfall amidst the ambient light.”

Unsure of what the final product will actually look like,

33 degrees, while in 1992 a 105 degree F reading was recorded in St. Cloud. The most precipitation fell in 2010 when I recorded 9.37 inches of rain. August is the last summer month in which no snow was recorded.

Phenology: Yes, the Purple Martins, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Grackles, Grey Catbirds, Red-winged Blackbirds and the tree Swallows were gone by the 15th. One measurement of summer is the departure of the Northern Orioles. There were lots of them until near the end of the month. Then, they only made their presence known in numbers in the early morning and fewer in the evening. The Ruby-throated Humming Birds were very active and in numbers all month. I saw two wrens in the garden on the 10th. On the 23rd, one Gray Catbird was at the grape jelly feeder, but I’ve not seen or heard one since.

Other birds that graced our feeders were lots of Blue Jays, a few Chickadees, a couple Hairy Woodpeckers, one Pileated Woodpecker, a few RoseBreasted Grosbeaks, lots of Goldfinches (still bright yellow and black), a few Mourning Doves, a couple of House Finches and some species of sparrows.

Monarchs: Of note, their numbers seem to have increased.

I can’t give a number, but last year I don’t remember seeing but one or two. Now, more of them, and they are staying longer this year. Their interest seems to be Common Milkweed, Cone Flowers and Ligularia. Although I’ve only seen two caterpillars, I’m sure there have been more as we have a lot of milkweed growing. This is a welcomed event.

Among the critters, the most notable was a young deer that was standing in our front yard eating grass when Jan was going out to fill the nectar feeders in the morning. Others include a marked increase in frogs, both leopard and tree varieties, two chipmunks and a couple of bunnies that came to eat cracked corn.

Another sign of the changing seasons are the late summer flowers that have come into bloom. They include late summer hasta, Ligularia, bright orange berries on the mountain ash, cone flowers of different colors, black-eyed Susan, phlox and some of the grasses starting to crown seeds and color.

Will we see snow in September? I hope not.

Little Rock Lake: The lake water level went up by only 0.1 foot. I received no reports of the blue-green algae. Lake water temperature started the month at 72 degrees F. and ended at 67 degrees F. It was back to 70 degrees on Sept. 1. There is more information about Little Rock Lake that can be found on the Little Rock Lake Association web site www.littlerocklake.org.

Tell us about the most memorable game you’ve ever been a part of. The most memorable game I have ever been apart of didn’t happen when I played as a sophomore or a junior, but as a senior. It was the first game of the season against a tough, aggressive team, the Princeton Tigers. This game was a tough battle between not only them but also us. We had the lead then lost it, and usually we had players quit and not know how to win after that. We then showed ourselves and others what we are made of. We kept our heads high and kept plugging away at offense and defense and just played the game hard. We went as hard as we could, literally left it out on the field because we wanted to do something people thought wasn’t possible. We did it together as a team.

We broke our streak and now have momentum into the rest of the season to keep winning. That was the best day and it marked the beginning of a true Sauk Rapids-Rice football team.

What are some words you like to live by? A couple quotes I live by are, “You define the moment, don’t let the moment define you”, “If you want to breathe as bad as you want to succeed then you will be successful”- Eric Thomas, “Greatness is not this wonderful, God-like gift feature that only the special among us can taste. It is something that truly exists in all of us.” - Will Smith. Also to treat everyone better than I would like another person to treat me because kindness goes farther than anything.

SAUK RAPIDS – The North American Tier III Hockey League (NA3HL) Granite City Lumberjacks will begin their season at Armadillo Deck Rink in Sports Arena East, Sauk Rapids on Saturday, Sept. 12 against the Minnesota Flying Aces of Little Falls.

The 2015-16 team will follow an explosive year for the Lumberjacks who ended the 2014-15 regular season with a 33-9-5 record. Although losing the west division championship to their rival the North Iowa Bulls, the Lumberjacks took home the Silver Cup in the NA3HL National Championship and advanced to the USA Hockey Tier III Junior National Championship where they competed for the title against the best of the five other USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III junior hockey leagues.

“The most important thing we need to do is learn to play as a team,” said Granite City Lumberjacks head coach Brad Willner. “We have so many new guys and only six returning. Each player is coming from different areas.

The Granite City Lumberjacks were the 2014-15 North America 3 Hockey League Silver Cup Champions. The team, who qualified for the event as a wildcard with the best regular season record of the five teams who lost during division finals, celebrates here at Fox Valley Ice Arena in Geneva, Ill. The team won the Silver Cup in 2012 as well.

We’re still trying to learn who works well together for line combinations, as well as each other’s names. The focus will be on working well together.”

Forwards Adam Marty, Will Mix and Tanner Skaja return with 25 goals combined.

Returning on the blue line (defense) are Kevin Finley, Tyler Mros and Spencer Nelson.

“Our defensive core definitely helps us out to get started with a young group of forwards. We’ll have to play good team defense until we start figuring out the offensive side,” said Willner.

The Lumberjacks lost sixfoot, four-inch 190-lb goalie Jesse Garcia this year. Garcia, who made a commitment to play NCAA Division III

hockey for Bethel University, had a 90.9 percent save record in his first and only season with the NA3HL. Forward David Kenney, and veteran defensemen Mitch Gwost and David Horseman will also be vacant from the Armadillo Deck Rink ice.

The Storm welcomed the Sartell-St. Stephen Sabres to their home turf for their Central Lakes Conference opener on Thursday. The Sabres, who finished their 2014-15 season at 13-4-4 with a loss in the state tournament, defeated the Storm by a score of 4-1.

Senior midfielder Kaelyn Szymanski put Sauk RapidsRice (SRR) on the board first by scoring on a penalty kick with 6:11 remaining in the first half.

The Sabres did not threaten the Storm’s lead in the first half until 1:26 remaining, when Laura Leonard tied the game, scoring on a rebound shot from an indirect free kick.

SRR outshot the Sabres in the

first half, seven shots to four.

“The second half brought a change in momentum for the game,” said Kris Fremo, head coach.

Sartell got on the board early in the second half, taking the lead with the first of two goals from Megan Sieben. Leonard added her second goal of the night rounding out the scoring for the Sabres.

Sophomore Storm goalkeeper, Allison Mach made eight saves on the night and senior Megan Ackerman added two. Sartell goalkeeper Sara Higgins finished with five saves.

The Storm (1-2, 0-1 CLC) jumped back in action Tuesday night when they faced Willmar in Sauk Rapids. Next, the team will host Rocori on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Making a difference on and off the field

by BRYAN ZOLLMAN STAFF WRITER Mike Rinke made a difference on the playing field during his high school days.

But these days he is making a difference in the game of life.

Rinke is one of four former Sauk Rapids-Rice athletes who will be inducted into the SRRHS Athletic Hall of Fame on Sept. 26, along with Jeremy Christie, Nona Saldana and Greta Bauer. Rinke, a 1981 graduate, was a standout in football, basketball and track and field.

His senior season in football was one of the best in school history. He averaged 7.9 yards per carry, 21.9 yards per reception and 25.8 yards per kick return. He helped lead the team to an almost undefeated season. They lost to Rochester Lourdes in the playoffs in one of the most memorable football games in the school’s history. Rochester Lourdes beat SRRHS 31-29 on a last second field goal.

“My thought at the time was this couldn’t happen, that it wasn’t right to go from winning to losing and have everything done just like that,” said Rinke. “It was tough at the end of the game, but that is far outweighed by the many positive things surrounding the overall experience.”

Rinke got his start as an athlete at a young age. He remembers playing backyard games and was encouraged by his parents, Bud and Barb.

“I grew up playing backyard everything with friends

His athletic prowess earned him a spot on the St. Olaf football team where he earned all-conference honors as a senior wide receiver. He played defensive back for two years and then receiver for two.

His most memorable game was when they beat St. John’s, a powerhouse at the time, 31-0.

Storm lose in four sets

by MARK KLAPHAKE STAFF WRITER

The Sauk Rapids-Rice volleyball team suffered a four-set loss in their season opener Sept. 3 in Monticello.

The Storm lost 25-23, 2518, 18-25 and 26-24 in a nonconference matchup.

SRR and Monticello were tied at 24 in set four before the Tigers scored the final two points.

“We had too many unforced errors,” said head coach Dave Anderson. “The girls know if we clean up those we will be in good shape.”

Nya Miyoang had a strong overall night for the Storm. She finished with seven kills, four blocks and was 27-28 serving with three aces.

The Storms Kyra Harvey and Brooke Butkowski also had seven kills each. Miranda Bowman and Bailey Becker paced the team with seven set assists.

Angela Konz had six blocks and Kaylene Manthey had 20 digs for SRR. The Storm will travel to St. Cloud Tech Thursday, Sept. 10. They will host a varsity tournament this Saturday, Sept. 12. Brainerd, Rocori, St. Cloud Cathedral, Pierz, Dassel-Cokato, Monticello, Annandale, Foley, Holdingford, Sauk Centre, Osakis, Kimball, Watertown-Mayer, Little Falls and Littlefork-Big Falls will be joining the Storm for the tournament.

Sauk Rapids-Rice will also host Willmar Sept. 15 and Rocori on Sept. 17.

Spartans sink Storm 24-6

Lumberjacks continued from front “The leadership of former captain Blake Phenow will be something that is missed,” Willner said. “I’m looking for Will Mix and Tyler Mros to fill those leadership roles to start out.”

The Lumberjacks picked up forward Alex Durand formerly of the Nashville Jr. Predators in a trade pre-season. Durand, whose hometown is Andover, returns to the west division after winning a south division championship with the Predators.

Forward Lucas Carroll, St. Francis, was the Lumberjacks’ first round draft pick and joins the team for his first year in the NA3HL league.

Robbie Goor, traded from the Twin Cities Steel, will look to find his spot in the net for the Lumberjacks with his 3.07 percent goals against average record during last year’s regular season.

With new skaters on the ice, Willner is determined to develop his team until it runs well.

“We want to have the chance to skate for another championship,” Willner said.

Although the team’s rival, the North Iowa Bulls, has changed divisions and will now play in the central division of the NA3HL league, Willner doesn’t believe the Lumberjacks will skate away with the title.

“Even though we lost North Iowa, we’re still skating against one of the stronger divisions in the league.”

Willner believes the Alexandria Blizzard and the Twin Cities Steel will be the two teams to beat in this year’s west division.

“We definitely have our work cut out for us,” Willner said. “There’s a target on our back. Starting out, everyone’s shooting for us.”

“This is a tough district,” Magnuson said. “We are going up against a lot of good football programs.”

by BRYAN ZOLLMAN STAFF WRITER

The Sauk Rapids-Rice football team ran into another quality program when they took on Rocori in Sauk Rapids.

The undefeated Spartans scored the first 24 points of the game Friday night to improve to 3-0 over the 1-2 Storm.

Sauk Rapids fell behind early when Rocori quarterback Connor Schoborg connected twice with receiver Alec Anderson for a 14-0 lead. Both teams battled hard in a scoreless second quarter with the Spartans entering the locker room with a 14-0 lead.

Sauk Rapids put together a first-quarter drive and had second down and five yards to go when they committed two false start penalties.

“We have been working on some different snap counts,” said head coach Bill Magnuson. “We had some mental lapses there that killed that drive.”

The Storm had another drive down to the Spartan 10yard line but Rocori’s defense stopped them cold with a big negative-yardage play.

“We missed some good

opportunities,” Magnuson said. “But, they are a very good team defensively.”

Rocori scored in the third quarter on an 11-yard run by Gunnar Feldhege and then kicked a field goal for a 24-0 lead after three.

By then a comeback was insurmountable. Senior quarterback Mathew Johnson did connect with Daunte Keller from 18 yards out for the team’s lone score to make it 24-6. The two-point conversion failed.

Magnuson said his team competed hard and was happy

with their effort. This week the team will look to improve on their passing game.

“We know we can run the ball,” he said. “Korey Keske had another nice game. We know that when they bring eight or nine players in the box, we have to keep them honest by throwing the ball.”

Keske gained 76 yards on the ground. Johnson was 8-for-19 passing for 64 yards including the touchdown strike to Keller.

Things won’t get any easier this coming Friday as the Storm roll into Brainerd (2-1).

His law career would eventually land him a job with Dairy Queen World Headquarters located in Edina. In 1988, he married his wife of 27 years, Marit Somonson. While Rinke had some memorable teammates throughout his high school and college career, and played on some great teams, his best team was just beginning.

On the refrigerator in their home is a quote from Oprah Winfrey, “Life’s not about what you have; it’s about what you have to give.”

The Rinkes have tried to live by that saying in their adult lives. It began when Marit read a newspaper article about a young man who was in need of a kidney. She wasn’t a match, but ultimately decided she wanted to be an anonymous kidney donor. Mike then followed suit and offered up one of his kidneys. Marit’s kidney helped save a 53-year-old man’s life, and Mike’s helped save a 58-year-old man.

“We learned that many people were suffering and dying because they didn’t have a kidney,” Mike said. “The average time people wait for a kidney is two years, and many of them die while waiting.”

They also give in the way of mission trips. The entire family has been to trips in Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and the Dominican Republic where they have helped build homes and schools for those in need.

The couple is also involved in programs where they live, including the Waconia Food Shelf and Families Moving Forward, which helps people in Carver and Scott Counties transition from homelessness into permanent housing.

“We realize you don’t need to travel or have surgery in order to take care of other people,” said Mike. “We try to incorporate volunteering into our daily lives by participating in local opportunities.”

Mike credits his athletic upbringing in helping shape him as an adult.

“With sports, I learned to value people and relationships,” he said. “This includes everyone who is part of the team, as well as opponents and officials. I needed to learn to re-

“In the past 24 years, I have worked with a great variety of people with the DQ company team,” he said. “I also have regular contact with competitors and judges occasionally.

By showing respect and care, I have built a network of strong relationships that has helped me throughout my career.”

Like most athletes, Mike’s lasting memories aren’t when games were won or lost. It was just being with his friends, doing something he loved.

“My favorite memories involve my friends who were teammates and our time together in practices, games, and just hanging out,” he said. “There were special moments with each sport, such as lining up for the national anthem under the light’s on Coach Hill’s perfectly groomed football field, or goofing around during basketball warm ups with the stands full of fans and the band jamming, or just lounging by the track with other jumpers waiting for the next turn to jump.”

Mike Rinke made a difference on the football field, basketball court and in track and field as a young man. Enough to earn him hall of fame honors.

“I am very proud to be from Sauk Rapids and to receive this honor,” he said. “I was surprised to get called for this and am excited and looking forward to everything relating to this opportunity.”

Now, 53, he continues to make a difference by helping others. It’s another career he can be proud of. And, he shows no signs of slowing down.

“My wife has shown me how to extend care for others by reaching out to people beyond my typical circle,” he said. “Our family has had several opportunities to help people with our own hands and feet. I am looking forward to doing much more of that in the years ahead.

An action-filled start Storm soccer kicks out five games

by MARIA HAGER STAFF WRITER

The boy’s soccer team for Sauk Rapids-Rice has been on a roll, keeping their cleats tied and the balls flying. The team has managed to play out five games in just the first two weeks of their season. And, there isn’t any slowing down in sight with two conference match ups occurring this week.

Sauk Rapids-Rice 3, Little Falls 2 The Storm hosted the Flyers, who finished last year’s season at 9-5-2, on Sept. 1.

Five minutes into the game, Little Falls took an early lead. But, the Storm battled back to tie the game midway through the first half when a kick from senior Jared Timm connected with the Flyer’s net.

Junior goalie, Ethan Bak-

er, made a huge penalty shot save in the first half to keep the game close for the Storm.

The Flyers answered back late in the first half to make it 2-1 at half.

“We didn’t have a lot of shots in the first half,” said coach Chad Keller, “maybe five, but we really attacked in the second half.”

The senior defensive core of SRR didn’t allow Little Falls near their net. And, the

Call to order by Chair Bauerly was at 9:02 AM followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.

Peschl/Popp unanimous to approve the agenda as written.

No one was present to speak under Open Forum.

McMahon/Buerkle unanimous to approve the Consent Agenda: 1) approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of August 4, 2015 as written; 2) accept and file Administrator’s Report/ Monthly Financial Report as written; 3) approve submittal of Application for MN Multistate Contracting Alliance for Pharmacy/ McKesson Customer Application, and authorize the Chair to sign; 4) approve Final Pay Voucher for Knife River Corporation for Project 005-051-006—bituminous overlay on CR 51 and CR 66 South and East of Foley, and authorize the Chair to sign; and 5) approve Special Road Use Permit—Rice Family Fun Day, and authorize the Chair to sign.

Chris Byrd, County Engineer, reported on bids received for the demolition of homes along CSAH 3 in Sauk Rapids (Project SAP 005-603-031)—four bids were received. Buerkle/Popp unanimous to award the demolition contract to Tom Kraemer, Inc., as lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $494,180.92 (Engineer’s Estimate of $705,883.00). Byrd indicated that demolition will likely begin in September.

Engineer’s Report: 1) Working toward a “quiet zone” at the CR 55 railroad crossing (notice of intent has been sent to appropriate parties—a public comment period will follow; will likely be discussion on whether to “push this project through” yet this

Storm struck hard with an early dominating play. Junior Ramiro Yanez-Nunez was assisted by junior Bjorn Hanson to tie the game.

Then, with just 10 minutes left in the game, junior Kieran Emery made the game-winning goal, assisted by junior Grant Marolf.

“We are starting to really gel in all areas of the field,” Keller said. “We will continue to work on getting more scor-

ing opportunities and finishing them when presented.”

Sartell-St. Stephen 5, Sauk Rapids-Rice 0 Baker would have 16 saves for the day in a disappointing loss for the Storm on Thursday against a talented Sartell-St. Stephen team.

“It was not a good game for us after the first fifteen minutes,” Keller said. “I think we’re just beat up from playing our fifth game in seven

days.”

The loss brings SRR’s section record to 2-1 and they are sitting at 0-1 in their Central Lakes Conference.

SRR traveled to Willmar Tuesday and will head to Cold Spring on Thursday to face Rocori. Willmar tied 3-3 against Sartell on Saturday in overtime play. Rocori is coming off of just three games, with a record of 2-0-1.

The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:19 AM to conduct a Human Services Board meeting.

The Regular County Board meeting was reconvened at 9:54 AM. The next item was Board consideration of a resolution in support of an application by the Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation (GSDC) to the St. Cloud Area Planning Organization for an airport planning grant. Patti Gartland, President of the GSDC, explained that, subsequent to her appearance at the Board’s work session on July 22nd, the Sherburne County Board gave their unanimous support to the resolution. She indicated that there are several substantive changes to the request that the Board should be aware of: 1) the estimated study cost has been scaled back from $150,000 to $100,000; 2) have taken the component out of the study that was going to look at the creation of a regional airport authority; and 3) removed the APO local grant match—the GSDC will pursue raising these funds. Referencing the airport industrial park, Brian Myres, Chair of the GSDC Transportation Corps, stated that he has approached St. Cloud Opportunities about possibly partnering in match funding.

Buerkle commented “I’m glad to see you came forward with that because I wasn’t going to support this…with any reference at all to any kind of a different governance structure…I’m glad you took all that out and it’s just an economic development thing…I still have a question…the City of St. Cloud sat with that industrial park all these years…why haven’t they done something before now…” Myres commented “…we in the business community are looking at this and saying…there’s been $71 million invested in this facility…whether the City of St. Cloud invests further dollars in it or some other entity invests further dollars in it…does it make economic sense to do that…with a study of this nature we can find that out…” Buerkle referenced the “assumption” in the proposed resolution which states that the St. Cloud Airport is highly under-utilized; he felt that this is not a known fact until the study is complete. Myres noted that the counties will be involved in the scoping of this study; the business community is going to be very concerned about it being objective. Popp commented “I’m very glad to see that it has been scaled back and there’s going to be no APO money…we need economic development and

we probably need to go forward with this study to see if there’s any possibility that we can enhance the tax capacity of Benton County…I’m glad you took the items out that you did…” Bauerly commented “given the history of our tax capacity decline, we need to study different possibilities…how we can change the direction”. Motion by McMahon to approve the proposed resolution with the changes as noted. Second by Popp. Gartland clarified that the proposed resolution itself doesn’t change—the study proposal is changing and will be written by the APO staff.

Buerkle stated his belief that the proposed resolution will be in conflict with the study proposal because it references “regional governance”. McMahon amended his motion to include deletion of proposed language in the resolution as follows: “WHEREAS, a regionalized approach to governing, managing and financing airport resources has proven highly successful in many other regional centers across the country; and,”. The second (Popp) was in support of the amended motion. The amended motion carried unanimously.

Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county.

Commissioner Concerns: 1) Update on conditional use permit for Nelson Pit in Glendorado Township (Peschl), 2) Continuing interest from a group in establishing a group home on Sucker Creek Road in Watab Township—Popp will inform them of the opportunity to speak to the County Board under Open Forum; and 3) Bauerly reported on a call he received from Knife River with regard to the Helgeson granite quarry—Knife River reports a hardship in the fact that they can only haul to the north (loaded) out of the pit (the County Engineer agreed to meet with Knife River staff to discuss this issue).

Peschl/Popp unanimous to set Committees of the Whole: August 26, Little Rock Creek Irrigation Meeting; September 8 and 9, Budget; September 10, Region 7W Adult Mental Health Initiative; September 15, Economic Development Work Group; and September 17, Benton County Association of Township Officers.

Chair Bauerly adjourned the meeting at 10:28 AM. A. Jake Bauerly, Chair Benton County Board of Commissioners ATTEST: Montgomery Headley Benton County Administrator R-36-1B
