A distinctive winter sport PHOTOS SUBMITTED
The ice blowing lanes have been plowed and are ready to go for the annual ice bowling tournament near Sauk Centre. For the ice bowling 10 lanes are cleared and five holes are drilled into the ice at each end of the lane.

Ice bowling tradition continues to offer seasonal entertainment BY TIFFANY KLAPHAKE | STAFF WRITER
Some people may associate bowling as a wintertime sport. The game that is played in the warmth of the indoors and consists of knocking down 10 pins at the end of a glossy, wooden floor. However, Pat Moritz is more familiar with another version of bowling: ice bowling. Moritz has been the coordinator for the ice bowling event in Sauk Centre for the past four years. The one-day event happens on the ice of Sauk Lake in early February each year. Moritz took over as coordinator from Chuck Moritz, who started the event over 25 years ago. “It started out as a small group of friends, and it slowly grew,” Moritz said. “Last year, we had 84 people bowling, making up 42 teams.” The game consists of 10 lanes that are plowed until smooth. Each lane has five holes drilled 8 inches deep at each end of the lane. A team of two people, one at each end of the lane, take turns rolling a bowling ball with the goal being to fall into a hole. “We want the holes deep enough so the bowling ball will catch and stay in the hole but not fall through and go into the lake,” Moritz said. “Each team keeps track of their own score.” The holes form a triangle similar to standard bowling, but the point value of each hole is different. In ice bowling, the first row of holes is worth one point, the second row is worth two points, and

the third row is worth five points. The first team to 21 points wins. The game is played with a double elimination. “We draw for partners the day of, that way no team has an advantage,” Moritz said. “Each team member can meet new people. Even if you come with a friend, you are going to get split up.” According to Moritz, the day starts around 10 a.m. with registration, which is only available on-site. Then, at noon,
the bowling begins and lasts most of the afternoon. “Chuck got the bowling balls when the Sauk Centre bowling alley closed,” Moritz said. “That way we have enough bowling balls so people don’t have to worry about bringing their own.” There is a $10 entry fee per participant, and the money is divided among the top three teams as a cash prize. As coordinator for the event, Moritz
is tasked with plowing the lanes, drilling the holes and setting up firepits. Moritz said Robert Breitbach and his wife, Bridjett, assist with the day’s festivities. Bridjett takes care of registration and manages social media. Moritz also works with Next Door Bar & Lounge and South Meats North BBQ. Eric Hellermann, with Next Door Bar & Lounge, puts together an elimination bracket for the day. After the event, the local bar hosts a band to round off the festivities. South Meats North BBQ brings their food truck onto the ice for the day. “We bring fish houses for people to warm up in or hang out,” Moritz said. “We try to stay away from the other fish houses on the lake as to not disturb the fish.” Moritz said not only is the event fun for those who are playing but a great way to spend time with friends. Throughout the day, spectators come by to watch the unique event. “A lot people that live on the lake just come out and watch,” Moritz said. “It’s that time of year where there isn’t much going on.” Whether someone is from the area or not, they are welcome to participate, Moritz said. “It’s a great way to get outside, hang out with friends and meet new people,” Moritz said. “It’s all for fun.”

Forward motion Inspiration comes full circle for Freeport runner funds for others, it has become a way for Zink to connect with students and build resiliency in them. Zink started the Sacred Heart Sprinters group at Sacred Heart School in Freeport, where she is the information technology and media specialist. She began the group seven or eight years ago. “I need to model this for them,” she said. “You can bounce back. If you have an obstacle that comes your way, you can find solutions.” Her older students, ones who were around during her surgery, often talk to her about her heart. “Because the heart is mechanical my older students will say “I can hear your heart,” Zink said. “It sounds like a clock. Sometimes they’ll ask questions.” Some of her younger students hear rumors of her surgery and will ask as well, and Zink finds ways to make the idea less scary for them; she’ll say: “The doctors fixed it and look how strong it is now,” she said. “Have I had to make changes in my life, yes, but I’m here.” Zink eats healthfully but said she has had to make changes to her diet because of her blood thinner. Even when her medication routine and eating restrictions become tedious, she said it’s important for her to continue to find the good and express it. “I’m around kids all day, including my own,” she said.

Christie Zink had never been a runner, but after she ran her first 5K, she developed a passion. That passion has led her to raise tens of thousands of dollars for a cause and one that has given her a way to share her story of perseverance with others. Zink has run 5Ks, 10Ks and the Twin Cities Marathon, raising funds for treatments and supportive care for those living with a rare blistering skin condition called Epidermolysis bullosa. She’s run in Chicago, she’s run in New York, and she planned to run another marathon last year before a heart defect Zink was born with, stopped her. In 2021, at the age of 46, Zink was told she had two years to live unless her heart valve was repaired. A wife, and mother of three, she stopped running and agreed to the surgery. She was a model patient and met her post-surgery goal to be released in time to see her kids off for the first day of school that year. Zink recovered, and walked her first mile the same week she got out of the hospital, running the Earth Day half marathon as a relay the following April. Then, in October 2022, she suffered a stroke just outside their family’s barn. Her daughter, who was 12 at the time, realized her mom needed help and ran to call 911. Now, another 15 months later, Zink takes a daily blood thinner and draws her blood at home every Monday, sending it off to the hospital, so they can let her know how to adjust her medications for the week — something she’ll do for the rest of her life. While running began as a way to help raise

Zink coaches about 25 kids in her running group. The Sprinters meet every Monday during the school year and talk about goal setting. They discuss why goals are important, they discuss motivation, and they talk about taking care of themselves. They eat a healthy snack each Monday, do an activity, and work on sportsmanship and being a good team player. “The whole entire program is to build these students up and help them support one another as well,” she said. At the beginning of each school year, Zink asks the kids how many of them think they could run a 5K and nobody raises their hands. Together, they work toward the goal, they do monthly strength and conditioningg challenges, g , and each spring,, they begin running outside. At the end of the school year, they run a 5K together.r. “To helpp them set that goal, work toward that goal is really fun,” Zink said. “It helps keep ep me in the game too.” Zink learned arned last year as she trained for a marathon in Chicago, that her body simply doesn’t have the capacity pacity to run as far as it once did. id. Today, she can make it about ut 3 miles before her blood od pressure increases, her legs get tired and her feett go numb. She wears a blood pressure cuff when hen she trains to keep an eye on how her body is responding. ng.

When Zink first started running, she did not know if she could run more than two minutes at a time.
a good opportunity for me to teach the kids that things change and sometimes we have to pivot and find a different way to accomplish what we want to accomplish,” Zink said. Zink teaches her students that while they are running, they just need to focus on themselves. “I don’t pay attention to the people around me,” she said. “I typically run with intention, and I’m very focused on why I’m running or if I’m running for somebody that’s what I focus on.” Zink teachers her students the same, “I want the focus to be on being their best selves,” she said. For Zink, running has always been about inspiration — the inspiration that comes from others fighting their own health battles. Through the years, Zink has raised more than $75,000 for charity between her ppersonal races and those she has organized teams for.

Winter fishing rules, enforcement in effect Minnesota boating
rules, regulations:
New Minnesota law means cleaner ice house villages on Minnesota lakes
COURTESY OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
BY SARAH COLBURN | STAFF WRITER
As ice fishing season rounds out in Minnesota, Chad Thesing is staying busy with enforcement on state lakes. The Minnesota DNR conservation officer has worked in Stearns County for the last 18 years and is in charge of enforcement of ice fishing, snowmobiling and coyote hunting. As fishing licenses are set to expire Feb. 28 and ice houses must be removed from Minnesota lakes by March 4, Thesing’s job is to check in on local fish enthusiasts and keep the lakes clean. “Inevitably, the week before the fish house deadline, we get a big snow of 18 inches,” Thesing said. That triggers calls from people asking for fish house extensions — which he said simply do not exist on Minnesota lakes. “Another thing we see is people wait until the last minute, drag it off the lake and store it at the public access,” he said. “You can’t do that.” The key to a successful end of season, Thesing said, is to plan ahead. He encourages people to pay attention to when the lake begins to thaw and freeze and be sure to have a plan to avoid an ice house getting stuck into the lake. Thesing said planning ahead for a vehicle to tow the ice house home is also important. Ice houses must be completely removed from the lake, not just pulled near the shoreline, he said. After the deadline, ice houses can be used on lakes with caution but they must be occupied at all times they are on the ice, they cannot be left for the day or overnight. Part of Thesing’s job is to traverse local lakes looking for houses that will likely be frozen into the ice. “My job entails going
around weeks before that deadline and marking fish houses I think may get left,” he said. He gathers license and registration information from the houses and marks them with GPS coordinates in case owners leave them behind or cut the tops off and leave the bottom frozen into the lake. Thesing’s work is done in an effort to keep Minnesota waterways free of more debris and his enforcement is two-fold. This year, Minnesota implemented a new law regarding garbage, recycling and cigarette butts around ice houses. In years past, people could leave their garbage on the ice for the day, chucking cans and other trash out the door until they were ready to vacate the ice for the night. Now, the new law states any trash must be contained and secured to the ice house at all times. Because the law is new, Thesing said he has spent the season doing more educating than ticket writing. “Litter on the ice is a big (problem) around that time,” he said. “It’s constant.” The other issue Thesing deals with this time of year are Minnesotans going over their fish limit. “People start looking at Lent,” he said. “People are stocking up for Fridays and all the sudden they have extra fish in their freezer.” The state’s fish limits, he said, apply to fish caught that day as well as any fish stored in the freezer. The limit for walleye is six. “(You have to know) what the limit is and what you have in the freezer to determine what you can catch that day on the lake,” he said. The limit is different in various parts or zones of the state. In the north-central zone, he said there is a limit of six walleye.

An ice house and equipment sit on a frozen Minnesota lake. A new Minnesota law states that no garbage, litter or recycling can be on the ground near an ice house, even temporarily; all garbage, recycling and litter must be contained in a bag attached to the ice house.
When it comes to northern pike, the limit is 10, two can be over 26 inches but all fish caught in the 22-26-inch slot must be immediately released unless caught via spear. Spearers are allowed one northern within the slot size. Perch has a daily limit of 20 and a possession limit of 40. Dates to know: — Feb. 28: Fishing licenses expire and a new angling license must be purchased to continue fishing. — March 4: Ice houses must be removed from lakes. — Feb. 25: Walleye, bass and northern fishing close for the season. Coyote hunting, snowmobiling Thesing also does enforcement for other winter recreation including coyote hunting and snowmobiling. Thesing said winter is a popular time for coyote hunting as groups go out after a fresh snow to look for tracks. Often, he said, people will track the animals with dogs and canvas an area surrounded by fields and dirt roads. The biggest issues he runs into with enforcement are hunters failing to unload their guns before jumping back into a truck to move across an area of land. “It’s dangerous,” he said. It is imperative for hunt-
ers to unload guns each and every time they get back into a vehicle and additionally, he said, it is important to pay attention to land ownership. Trespassing becomes an issue, he said, when the group has received permission to hunt from a landowner but their tracking moves into an adjacent field or farm. Thesing sees the same issue with snowmobile enforcement. There, he said, it is key for snowmobilers to stay on the trails. Often, he said, snowmobile clubs will work with landowners to map out a specific trail, and veering off the trail is ripe for trespassing complaints. Equally as complained about, he said, are machines that have been modified with loud mufflers and pipes. Those complaints, Thesing said, come most often in areas of trail that cut through a city and impact nearby homes or businesses. Whether it is fishing, hunting or snowmobiling, Thesing said he encourages winter recreational enthusiasts to tell a family member or friend about their plans for the day. Even in today’s age of cell phones, he said, accidents can happen and knowing a person’s general location and planned route is helpful if someone has trouble on the ice or in the field.
