Crime down in Benton County last year Heck delivers annual report

BY JAKOB KOUNKEL STAFF WRITER

FOLEY – Benton County Sheriff Troy Heck gave commissioners his office’s annual report at a board meeting April 6, highlighting the county’s low crime rate.

Last year was unlike any he has seen before, Heck said, from both a law enforcement and administrative perspective. Fallout caused by the coronavirus pandemic and social unrest thrust unique challenges on Heck’s office.

“The pandemic really affected every aspect of our operations,” Heck said.

Aside from the multitude of policy and workplace changes due to the pandemic, in 2020, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office handled 26,721 initial complaint reports, otherwise known as ICRs. That is approximately 1,100 less than 2019. Any time the dispatchers center receives a phone call, it triggers an ICR. “When I look at the data, it appears that a lot of that decline happened in the beginning of the pandemic, in March and April when people were spending a lot more time at home,” Heck said.

‘brain reset’ therapy

BY ELLARRY PRENTICE | STAFF WRITER

ST. CLOUD – Emotional stress, whether experienced minutes or years ago, can wreak havoc on mind and body.

Sleeplessness, anxiety, fatigue and stomach issues are some complications attached to unresolved emotional stress. These issues could be the result of something hurtful someone said or stem from the loss of a loved one.

They could be caused by a traumatic event such as abuse or by common stressors like work and parenting.

Whatever adverse experiences or stressful events have occurred, whether recently or decades ago, Sauk Rapids resident Trisha Kubasek is offering something to help people hit the reset button on what has been weighing them down.

It is called Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy and is designed to reset the brain from emotional shocks and trauma that get lodged in the nervous system.

Trisha Kubasek, of Sauk Rapids, offers Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy, a non-invasive therapy that helps the brain become more balanced, less stressed and unburdened by negative life patterns.

Kubasek said she is the first person to offer QNRT in St. Cloud.

Kubasek from front

The gentle, non-invasive therapy balances the brain and nervous system which in tandem control and coordinate all functions of the body. Kubasek said QNRT helps the brain become less stressed and unburdened by negative life patterns that can lead to imbalances and eventually cause anything from troubled relationships to debilitating illnesses.

By bringing the brain and central nervous system into balance, QNRT releases the residue of emotional stress that locks into the nervous system and memory and creates files that direct how people feel and think about certain events.

“If your brain and your nervous system are overloaded, that’s causing stress throughout your whole body, and it’s not going to function as well,” Kubasek said. “You’re going to respond more emotionally and reactively.”

A registered nurse, Kubasek became a certified QNRT practitioner in November 2020 and opened an office in St. Cloud. Trained in Atlanta, Georgia, by the creator of the technique, she offers QNRT sessions at her Eighth Avenue location a couple days a week.

Kubasek said she is the first QNRT practitioner in St. Cloud.

Stressful events change people and can change what a person believes about themself and others. Those stressful events also change the body, Kubasek said.

QNRT focuses on adverse emotional experiences that have a direct link to physical concerns and unwanted behaviors.

“We all have emotional stress,” said Kubasek, who also works in the birth center at the St. Cloud Hospital. “It can help people get unstuck, think clearer, not respond out of their emotions. It’s not like you’re erasing memories, but you’re closing out and resetting that nerve pathway so you’re not reacting based on that stressful event anymore.”

Stressful events look different to everyone, but a mix of unresolved experiences from childhood and adult life often lead to physical, mental and emotional breakdowns, according to Kubasek. Adverse childhood events can cause emotional and physical problems years or even decades later.

Resetting the neurological pathways, or the brain-body connection, as it relates to emotional stress could help people sleep better, communicate thoughts and feelings easier, relieve pain, make positive life changes, improve relation-

What is QNRT? Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy is a protocol that initiates a quantum shift by resetting the brain from emotional shocks and trauma lodged in the nervous system. The therapy helps resolve physical and emotional issues that are interlinked.

QNRT focuses on: – Releasing individual adverse emotional experiences that have been identified as stress factors of the brain-body connection.

– Reprograming the coping mechanisms that have been built from emotional experiences.

– Resetting the brain and neurological pathways to all areas of the body to allow for healing.

QNRT could help: – Reduce total body and emotional stress load.

– Restore vitality and positive outlooks.

– Support the quality of sleep.

– Support energy and overall well-being.

– Resolve fear, anxiety, worry and anger.

– Improve relationships.

– Relieve joint and muscle discomfort.

– Support memory and focus. ships and resolve worry, fear and anger, according to Kubasek. It could also help with anxiety, depression and self-talk or self-love struggles.

Kubasek’s passion for QNRT stems from her personal healing journey. She was introduced to the therapy in 2016 by her cousin who is a QNRT practitioner.

With three children and a full-time job, Kubasek had a full plate. She was also experiencing painful events, including death of loved ones, and was dealing with adverse experiences from her childhood.

From helping her communicate better to reducing her fears, QNRT proved to be life-changing for Kubasek. She realized that hurtful and discouraging things people had said to her contributed to the heavy load she was carrying many years later.

Through personal experience, Kubasek found that, along with nutrition and exercise, getting the brain and nervous system back in balance is key to achieving optimum health.

The body, Kubasek explained, is not designed to sustain a high level of stress over an extended period, so it starts to experience reduced performance based on the emotional overload.

Each stressful event and the emotions that come with it are stored and lead to dysfunction in the way people perceive and navigate life.

“Throughout life, these stored emotions can get triggered, and then we respond out of those emotions,” she said.

Those emotions can result in feelings of being unworthy, unlovable and unsafe.

“It taps into the subconscious – the stuff that you have no idea you’re holding onto,” Kubasek said.

QNRT can be likened to resetting a slow, buggy smartphone. When the software is cleaned out, the device is restored to how it was before the external factors slowed everything down. QNRT does the same with the brain by clearing away what is slowing people down, altering moods, reducing concentration and so on.

“You’re able to think

clearer,” Kubasek said.

“You’re building resiliency, because we all know that stress is going to continue happening in our life. None of us are immune to that.

But, by having a more balanced brain, you’re going to be able to live life more consciously, in the moment, not reacting out of past emotional stressors.”

During a QNRT session, Kubasek determines which parts of the client’s brain are out of balance.

She then works with the client to activate their nervous system and re-set the nerve pathways and brain lobe associated with an event.

Kubasek uses tools such as a pen light and tuning forks to activate specific lobes of the brain and body tissues. The painless process involves muscle testing, eye movements, touching of acupuncture points and affirmations.

“Your body gives me the information about where we go,” Kubasek said.

Kubasek determines the state of the adrenal glands, which regulate stress response. She identifies specific adverse events or emotional shockers that have occurred, the age the negative life patterns caused by them were established, the emotional conflicts attached to them and whom they involved.

Often, a person’s adrenal glands appear exhausted, but after a few sessions, when some of the emotional charge is removed, they report more energy and bet-

ter sleep, Kubasek said. It is as if, like a computer, the body was exhausted from running all those programs for so long.

Part of the QNRT experience involves reprogramming coping mechanisms people develop when they experience emotional shocks or trauma. These coping mechanisms come as ways of surviving or protecting oneself from perceived harm but are often based on false beliefs – hidden in the subconscious brain – that can sabotage people without them knowing.

QNRT is not talk therapy. It may be helpful for clients to share their adverse experiences and talk with Kubasek about how they tie into what she discovered, but they do not have to.

The program is open to children and adults.

Kubasek is passionate about mental health and connecting with people at an authentic, non-judgmental level to create space for encouragement, support, healing and growth.

“I love to connect with people at a deeper level,” she said. “God just wants us to live in our full, true self.

This is working out those weeds. You deserve to live a life of joy and happiness.”

Kubasek’s greatest reward has been success stories.

“Just hearing the growth,” she said. “That they’re moving forward from that traumatic event that happened. And it doesn’t define you.”

Benton County from front

While most of the county’s crime statistics improved, Heck said his patrol deputies responded to 15,688 calls, 256 more than in 2019 – traffic stops being the prevailing activity.

Theft, domestic abuse, fraud, harassment and driving while intoxicated were Benton County’s five most reported crimes. Burglary fell off the top five list for the first time in many years, Heck said.

Benton County’s overall crime rate was 41% lower than the state average in 2020, something Heck said his office is proud of.

“We’re making a good effort to make sure this is a safe community, and we think those numbers reflect that,” Heck said.

Among the largest impacts the pandemic had on the sheriff’s office was in the county’s jail system. Because congregate facilities like jails are more prone to the spread of COVID-19, Heck worked with local judges to reduce the jail’s inmate

population.

At the outset of the pandemic, Heck said things like finding personal protective equipment and ensuring safe practices even as his deputies worked to keep the county safe was a difficult challenge, but one his staff and he were up for.

“I appreciate all the support the board has given us,” Heck said. “I value our partnership. I think we make a good team trying to watch out for the public safety and the people of Benton County.”

In other board news: – Benton Soil and Water Conservation District Manager Gerry Maciej delivered the SWCD’s report.

Benton SWCD collected $2,049,912 in financial contributions for conservation projects in 2020, $365,605 from local landowners and $1,901,853 from state and federal cost share. Its operational revenue was $642,401.

– Commissioners approved a proclamation declaring April 11-17 as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in Benton County. Heck said they are a hard working, essential group of people who are often the first contact for coordinating first responder resources.

Sauk Rapids moves forward with police garage expansion Approves base bid, 5 alternates

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – The Sauk Rapids Police Department will have expanded facilities by year end, and with that comes space for growth at the Sauk Rapids Government Center.

The Sauk Rapids City Council awarded a base bid and five alternates at its April 12 meeting. Rice Companies Inc., at a cost of approximately $1.6 million, will facilitate and construct the project.

In addition to an expanded garage with 20 new parking stalls, the council approved an alternate to make use of land on the northeast corner of the property. The city will square off the building, creating a 1,820-squarefoot space which could potentially be used for training purposes. The cost of the addition is $165,931.

The council members discussed the addition prior to approval, weighing the option of creating space now for later use versus costs now and in the future.

“I think you regret it if you don’t do it,” said finance director Jack Kahlhamer, explaining how construction costs have risen in the last 10 years.

Sergeant Brent Bukowski, of the Sauk Rapids Police Department, attended the meeting and voiced support for the additional space. Bukowski manages training for the department.

“Currently we don’t have an area where the whole agency can train at one time,” Bukowski said.

Bukowski said the department uses the government center community room but does not want to take away access for residents when facilitating mandated police training.

To offset the addition alternate, the city will save costs and expedite project construction by replacing bar joists with wide-flange steel beams for roof framing. Bar joists are back ordered into 2022 and replacing the item saves the city about $50,000.

Construction is expected to begin in June.

In other council news: – Mayor Kurt Hunstiger addressed what he said were derogatory comments about city employees on social media and to himself regarding

employees who do not live within city limits.

Hunstiger, with information from city attorney Adam Ripple of Rinke Noonan, said cities may not impose residency requirements for employees. Cities may impose response-time requirements for specific positions such as firefighters and public works wastewater plant operators.

– Approved a modification to an agreement allowing the reuse of Downtown Impact Mitigation funds on the building at 208 N. Benton Drive, Sauk Rapids. The modification will allow DIM funds to be used to upgrade the heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and plumbing and electrical in the building should the exterior upgrades to the building, which are part of the original agreement, not use all of the funds allotted.

The city is also providing funds to assist with other build-out upgrades.

Exterior improvements, slated to be completed no later than July 31, are thev replacement or restoration of windows, lighting, awnings, and patch and paint.

– Awarded the 2021 Pleasantwood Addition Improvements to C&L Excavating, of St. Joseph, in the amount of

approximately $1.7 million. The total project is estimated at $2.2 million, about $750,000 less than the feasibility study predicted.

– Approved eliminating 2021-22 liquor license fees for Danny’s Dugout, El Loro, Benton Station, Old Capital Tavern, Jimmy’s Pour House and Sauk Rapids VFW Post 6992.

– Approved hiring Ashley Probasco as the office coordinator at the public works facility, beginning April 26.

Probasco is a Sauk Rapids-Rice High School graduate with experience, most recently working in accounts payable for Blattner Energy in Avon.

– Approved promoting officer Sean Gales to sergeant at the Sauk Rapids Police Department.

The position was posted internally and three officers applied. Gales’ promotion is effective Sunday, April 18.

– Approved a contract with Complete Yard Care for maintenance and mowing of medians and a few city-owned properties at a fixed rate of $1,510 per month from May to October each year. The contract will be automatically renewed until either party terminates.

Along with their upcoming state appearance, Paulson and Danielson are the first SRRHS competitors to advance to national competition. Because the MSHSL does not have a national competition at-

tached to its circuit, SRR joined the National Speech and Debate Association to offer these students an opportunity at a higher level. The two qualified for the event and will perform their duo piece at state before nationals in June.

News Briefs

State puts pause on Johnson & Johnson cases occurring among the more than 184,000 Minnesotans who have received this vaccine, Minnesorvaccine

ST. PAUL – The Minnesota Department of Health sent a message April 12 to health care providers around the state, advising they follow the federal recommendation to pause use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration review data about an exgtremely rare type of blood clot that has been reported tin six people who received that vaccine in the United States.

All six cases occurred among women between the tages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination. No cases of clotting issues had 0been reported in Minnesota as of April 12.

While Minnesota officials are not aware of any

tans who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine who develop severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination should contact their health care provider.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine represents about 6.6% of the total supply of vaccines Minnesota has received to date, so the pause is not expected to dramatically slow the pace of vaccinations in the state. However, anyone who currently has an appointment to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should watch for a notification from their provider about canceling, postponing or rescheduling the appointment.

Brandon Johnson (left) and Josh Hoffman stand outside the downtown St. Cloud location of Copper Pony before opening in May 2017. The two announced a relocation of their home décor business to Sauk Rapids this week, which will feature a coffee shop and kitchen.

Copper Pony from front We needed to find a space that could accommodate our growth and the vision we’ve laid out for our next chapter.”

The owners aim to be a shopping destination for residents and visitors in central Minnesota. The exceptional gifts and goods at Copper Pony will expand with The Kitchen at Copper Pony, a coffee shop that will offer food choices.

“We can’t wait to offer fresh baked goods, specialty coffee drinks, soups, sandwiches, salads and more,” Hoffman and Johnson said.

With the food expansion, the owners plan to deliver daily baked goods and convenient grab-and-go style eats to the company’s seasonal gift shop located in Munsinger and Clemens Gardens. After announcing the acquisition earlier this year, Copper Pony in the Gardens will operate from May 1 through Oct. 31 annually. Once the commercial kitchen is complete, Hoffman and Johnson will begin offering an assortment of baked goods to compliment the drip coffee and teas that are planned for the garden shop.

After exploring a number of locations throughout central Minnesota as potential contenders, Hoffman and Johnson believe the Sauk Rapids space will be the perfect fit. With dedicated parking spaces and easy access to the building at a high-traffic intersection, the new location will afford Copper Pony an opportunity to revive the art of engaging window displays and entice passersby through highlighting seasonal products.

Hoffman and Johnson thank the Sauk Rapids City Council and Sauk Rapids Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Minnwest Bank, Negen & Associates and the Small Business De-

velopment Center for being partners in their quest to relocate to Sauk Rapids.

“We would also like to thank the great community of businesses located in downtown St. Cloud who have partnered with us over the last four years,” they said. “There is such great momentum in downtown St. Cloud, and we’re forever grateful for the wonderful launching pad this community has been for our business. We are excited to make Sauk Rapids our new home, yet sad to leave the great community of businesses in St. Cloud.

Jumping worms Gardeners are asked to watch for jumping worms because they cause much more damage than earth worms.

They have been found around the Twin Cities metro and Rochester areas and are expected GREEN AND to spread farther into GROWING IN BENTON the state.

COUNTY Jumping worms BY LINDA G. TENNESON are native to eastern Asia and live in the top layers of soil. When disturbed, they jump around and are much more active than the European earth or angle worms we are used to seeing in the soil. Jumping worms cause damage to soil by eating plant roots and using soil nutrients. They leave behind their manure which looks like used coffee grounds. These worms range in size from 1.5 to 8 inches long.

There is a band or ring around their heads about a half inch down that is smooth and sort of white. The rest of the worm is darker in color than an earth worm, plus the bands seen on earth worms do not go completely around their bodies. Jumping worms are usually found in groups. Researchers have found jumping worms eat organic matter in the soil more quickly than earth worms. This results in soil that is less able to support plant life.

Jumping worms live for one season, laying eggs in August which then hatch in late spring.

They can reproduce without mating with another jumping worm and produce numerous eggs each season. Eggs over winter in the soil and hatch out the following spring. In contrast European earth worms are smaller, live for more than one season and need to mate with another earth worm to reproduce. Earth worms also burrow deeper into the soil to survive winter. The tiny cocoons produced by jumping worms can be found in the soil around plants, and they move around by sticking to shoe soles, vehicles, etc.

The Department of Natural Resources has two videos on YouTube that show these worms in action. The video may be found at www.dnr. state.mn.us/invasives/terrestrialanimals/jumping-worm/index.html. Gardeners are asked to check newly-acquired plants and mulch for jumping worms. This may include washing existing soil from the plant roots before replanting in home gardens. Jumping worms may not be purchased or transported in Minnesota, Wisconsin and several other states.

The Wisconsin DNR website has two recommendations for clearing an area of jumping worms. The first method is called a mustard pour. Mix 1 gallon of water with one-third cup of ground yellow mustard seed and pour this mixture into the soil. Any jumping worms will be forced to the surface where they may be removed. Because the cocoons are sensitive to heat, they may also be destroyed by placing clear plastic polyethylene over an area of soil for two or three weeks or until the soil temperature reaches 104 degrees for at least three days. If found these worms should be reported to the Minnesota DNR using www.eddmaps. org. If possible, include a photo showing the ring around the worm’s body near their heads.

Jumping worms should be discarded in sealed plastic bags and left in the sun for three or more days and then put in the trash instead of in a compost pile. Only compost sites that ensure their material reaches 100 degrees or above are able to kill both the worms and eggs.

A song for Dad I’m not a musician – not even close. In fact, one of my biggest regrets is not learning to play an instrument.

I dreamed of marrying Tim McGraw and once had a guitar, but ultimately the gift I’d begged for became just another decoration in my childhood bedroom.

Encouraged by my parents, I focused on becoming a writer instead of Tim’s girl, but I kept posters of the country crooner on the wall.

My love of music came from my dad. The day before he passed, when we asked what we could do to comfort him, he simply whispered, “Music.”

A farmer all his life, he was undoubtedly a country music guy, but to the amusement of our family, he discovered a love for the rapper Eminem in the early 2000s. I’ve claimed to be Em’s biggest fan since, well, forever. Despite some edgy lyrics, his introspective songs helped me through some tough times.

Apparently, they helped Dad too.

Just when we thought country music was all he’d ever listen to, we discovered he was frequently playing my Eminem tapes. (“Dad, they’re called CDs,” we’d say.)

One evening when we were teenagers, my sister and I pulled in the driveway and noticed the house

was dark, which was odd because Dad was always home. We heard thumping, and the windows were rattling.

We walked in to find Dad jamming to the beat.

“Dad, what are you doing?” I yelled.

Wearing a flannel shirt and Wrangler jeans, he raised his hand and said, “What’s up, homies?”

The day before the end of his time on Earth, I played a few of his favorite songs. Dad could barely lift his head, but it bobbed to the familiar melodies. I wished I could rewind the tape.

Minutes before God called Dad home, my brother James played a song that will forever evoke memories of that painful goodbye. Even if country music is not your favorite, if you have a dad you love, here or in heaven, “Dad” by Tyler Wood (posted on YouTube) will pull on your heartstrings.

Seven months later, I was standing in the recording studio of music producer Greg Huberty after interviewing him for an article. I saw a painting of a longhorn steer, and I bit my lip to stifle tears.

I told Greg, a Sauk Rapids resident, about Dad’s prized longhorn and the registration papers he’d proudly framed and hung on the wall. I talked about the time Dad rode home

on a horse from my uncle’s farm, and how the son-ofa-you-know-what bucked him off and broke his arm, but he got back on like all real cowboys do. And, I acknowledged how much losing him hurt because no one will ever be able to take his place.

A month later, Greg said he was up late one night and had an idea for a song he wanted my help with.

I don’t know anything about making music, I told him.

“Yes, but you can write. … And it’s about your Dad,” he responded.

Soon after, we met up to co-write “Can’t Fill Those Boots.”

But my emotions got in the way, and we didn’t get very far.

Remember the scene from “Forest Gump” when he’s standing over Jenny’s grave? He says, “Mama always said that dyin’ was a part a life. … I sure wish it

wasn’t.”

I struggled to do or look at anything that would validate that his death was now a part of my life. I almost shredded the death certificate, and I couldn’t bring myself to say “He was” instead of “is.”

Our scribbles lay unfinished in his songwriter’s notebook for months.

In March, almost a year after our first and only songwriting session, I got back on the horse. I told Greg I was ready to write again.

We cranked out the lyrics in a couple hours. When the topic shifted to recording the song, I asked Greg if he had any singers in mind.

“I think you should sing it,” he said.

I had to remind him that I’m not a musician, especially not a singer.

He had to remind me that Dad would like it – and that autotune can make even squeaky singers like me sound OK. Greg did his best to sing a scratch track in a girly voice, and I listen to it several times a day to familiarize myself with the rhythm.

Every day, I’m a little closer to being ready for the mic.

I hope the song can be released May 11, the twoyear anniversary of our goodbye.

I miss you, homie.

Letter to Editor

Personal choice, not vaccine hesitancy

Meg Sobieck, Sauk Rapids I’m a Benton County resident, and if you ask me why I’m not getting vaccinated, I’ll tell you. Because the risk far outweighs any benefits.

Simply put, no person or campaign can convince me that any of the vaccines currently used for attempting to combat SARS-CoV-2 are safe and effective – no matter how many times I hear it on the radio, see it on a billboard or get pricked by a text message from a public health agency.

There has been no hesitancy. It has been my confident choice from the beginning. Why get jabbed with an experimental therapeutic that might lesson symptoms of a virus that if I am exposed to I have roughly a 99.97% chance of full recovery and have likely natural life-long immunity thereafter? If the vaccine was safe, why then is there a steadily growing number of adverse reactions, even death, being reported worldwide? If it was effective, wouldn’t that mean more than possibly decreasing the symptoms of COVID-19 if I got sick with COVID-19? Wouldn’t I be protected from getting a future SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection and therefore not be responsible for potentially transmitting it to others?

When I look for long-term rigorous clinical trials, why can’t I find them? Please, someone send them to me if I am misinformed. Show me the research that tested hundreds of people with different health conditions and from diverse demographic groups. Or the research that gives the post marketing surveillance data, the information gathered after the drug is already marketed, with real-life scenario performance, that shows the long-term risks and benefits and potential for rare side effects.

Unfortunately, we’re seeing some of those rare effects now. The Food and Drug Administration has explained that these potential risks do not outweigh the benefits. They say it’s an acceptable risk in light of a public health emergency. They’ve given emergency use authorization in order to speed up vaccine manufacturing while vaccines are in development rather than waiting for long-term safety studies and granting a license for approval. They have assumed these risks upon a trusting population.

Whatever happened to personal informed consent, where the risks and benefits are outlined for me and I get to make my own decision about what to put in my body? It’s called personal choice, not vaccine hesitancy.

SAUK RAPIDS HERALD | SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 2021 | Page 13

Inclement weather stalls spring sports season SAUK RAPIDS – Rain and snow stalled the Sauk Rapids-Rice spring sports season over the past 10 days.

Sauk Rapids-Rice High School spring sports were set to kick off with a tennis match against Alexandria in St. Cloud April 8, but

one by one, events were postponed and rescheduled. Tennis, baseball, softball and girls lacrosse were all affected, according to the Central Lakes Conference calendar.

With partly sunny skies and a temperature of 50 degrees, the Storm athletes competed in the first

competition of the season April 15 when the SRR softball team took on Apollo High School at home.

Look for recaps of the Storm’s competitions in next week’s Sauk Rapids Herald.

Stream trout fishing opens statewide April 17 Anglers have new tool to find places to fish

ST. PAUL – Minnesota’s popular warm weather stream trout season opens Saturday, April 17, with quality fishing opportunities in every region of the state. Brook trout and splake fishing also open April 17 on Lake Superior and its tributary streams.

In Benton County, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources lists two trout streams in Bunker Hill Creek and Little Rock Creek.

“Minnesota has some excellent trout fishing, and anglers help pay for trout habitat and access improvements with their fishing licenses and trout stamps,” said Benji Kohn, volunteer mentor program coordinator with the Minnesota DNR. “If you haven’t given trout fishing a try, it can be a relaxing, challenging and exciting way to fish. And, you don’t need a boat to fish for trout.”

Whether new to the sport or an experienced trout angler, the DNR has new information on Minnesota’s trout streams and lakes available at www.dnr.state. mn.us/fishing/trout/index.html. Modeled after the

THE RIGHT TO VERIFICATION OF THE DEBT AND IDENTITY OF THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY LAW IS NOT AFFECTED

BY THIS ACTION. Date: April 13, 2021 YOU ARE NOTIFIED THAT: 1. Default has occurred in the conditions of that certain mortgage that was executed by and between James R. Ziebarth, a/k/a James Robert Ziebarth, a single adult, as mortgagor, and Great River Federal Credit Union, as mortgagee, which mortgage is dated January 6, 2020 and was filed for record on January 15, 2020, as document number 440797, with the Office of the County Recorder in and for Benton County, Minnesota.

2. The mortgage has been assigned as follows: n/a 3. The original principal amount secured by the mortgage was: $115,500.00.

4. No action or proceeding at law is now pending to recover the debt secured by the mortgage, or any part thereof.

5. The holder of the mortgage has complied with all conditions precedent to acceleration of the debt secured by the mortgage and foreclosure of the mortgage and all notice and other requirements of applicable statutes.

DNR’s popular LakeFinder tool, StreamFinder provides anglers with a description, species list, regulations and access information for trout streams throughout Minnesota. Anglers also will find helpful learning guides and fishing tips tailored to each of Minnesota’s six trout fishing regions.

Minnesota has roughly 3,800 miles of designated trout streams. The southeastern part of the state has a wide variety of streams and fishing opportunities – everything from big waters with fly or bait casting to tiny streams that require an angler to crawl through brush to access. In other areas of the state, anglers can find trout fishing excitement on Lake Superior or its tributaries, and in northwestern Minnesota on the Straight River or Kabekona Creek.

Anglers fishing on designated trout waters must have a trout stamp validation in addition to an angling license. Complete trout season details are available at mndnr.gov/fishing.

USDA program expands COVID-19 assistance Farmers to receive payments beginning in April

BY JENNIFER COYNE | STAFF WRITER

ST. CLOUD – Dairy farmers should anticipate additional assistance from the federal government because of market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On March 24, the United States Department of Agriculture announced the initiative – USDA Pandemic Assistance for Producers – that will provide more than $6 billion to farmers, ranchers and producers through existing and new programs.

“This is timely,” Steve Frericks said. “With the assistance, farmers could utilize funds to meet business obligations and ultimately help their bottom line because of what COVID-19 has done.”

Frericks is the county executive director for Stearns County’s USDA Farm Service Agency.

The pandemic assistance will come in four parts: invest $6 billion to expand help and assistance to more producers; add $500 million of new funding to existing programs; carry out formula payments under the developed Coronavirus Food Assistance Program; and reopen enrollment for CFAP 2 to improve access to underserved producers.

At the time of this printing, details of the first part of the assistance were unclear. The USDA has committed to providing dairy farmers with compensation through a dairy donation program, as well as for euthanized livestock, specialty crops and the cost of organic certification, among other means.

“The biggest impact there is for dairy farmers is assistance through the dairy donation program,” Frericks said.

In previous COVID-19 assistance packages, dairy farmers received direct payments on the pounds of milk produced in their herd.

Benton County crowns two to compete for Princess Kay Montag becomes dairy ambassador

BY NATASHA BARBER | STAFF WRITER

FOLEY – Although the coronavirus may have axed many events and activities for the last 13 months, it did not diminish the enthusiasm Benton County has for the dairy industry.

This year, the county has two dairy princesses running for Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Allie Ackerman and Emily Schreindl will compete against other county participants in a one-day judging event May 15 for a chance to become a nextlevel dairy diplomat. Ten young women will be selected to vie for the state’s top title which is determined shortly before the Minnesota State Fair in August.

“I’d like to bring our county’s voice to the state level,” Acker-

man said. “I want to show how hard our dairy farmers work and what they have to sacrifice – like leaving Christmas celebrations to feed calves. Our dairy farmers make sacrifices and work hard, rain or shine.”

In addition to the dairy princesses, Benton County will also have a dairy ambassador in Heidi Montag.

The three and their respective titles were announced April 13 by the Benton County American Dairy Association during the annual banquet and coronation ceremony.

“Those were substantial,” Frericks said. “This is being handled differently. We’ll have to see what this program does.”

E G A N I A R D E V I T C EFFE REASONABLE RATES.

PROFESSIONAL DESIGN.

Additional assistance dairy farmers will receive will be in the form of the restructured CFAP payments.

The formula for payment rates for beef cattle has been adjusted for CFAP 1 payments with the USDA increasing that rate based on on-farm inventory April 16, 2020, to May 14, 2020. The new rates include $7 per head for feeder cattle less than 600 pounds, $25.50 per head for feeder cattle 600 pounds or more, $63 per head for slaughtered fed cattle, $14.75 per head for slaughtered mature cattle and $17.25 per head for all other cattle in inventory.

The USDA has estimated payments will exceed $1.1 billion to more than 410,000 farmers under the mandated formula.

Cattle producers already enrolled in CFAP 1 will receive these payments.

“Producers don’t have to provide additional information or signatures,” Frericks said. “There is no need for an additional application as we can process the payments from previously approved

CFAP 1 applications.”

Under CFAP 2 revisions, farmers will receive $20 per acre for eligible crops identified as CFAP 2 flat-rate or price-trigger crops.

“With alfalfa now included, that’s a very large deal for Minnesota,” Frericks said.

The payments are expected to provide over $4.5 billion to more than 560,000 farmers under the mandated formula, according to the USDA. “Under the provisions, most farmers will get payments around $20 per acre, this includes alfalfa, corn, hemp, sorghum, soybeans, sugar beets and wheat, among other crops, and some will get additional beef payments,” Frericks said.

“This will be substantial.”

Minor adjustments to the CFAP formulas will also include a correction for row crop applications that allows farmers to use 100% of the 2019 Agriculture Risk CoverageCounty Option benchmark yield if the farmer has a non-actual production history insurance policy.

On April 5, the USDA reopened signup for CFAP 2 for a new enrollment period for new and modified applications that will last at least 60 days to ensure all farmers have the opportunity to take advantage of this program.

“Nearly all producers have signed up for (CFAP),” Frericks said.

“So, the big thing is that for most producers, they

won’t have to sign a new application to receive funding. But, if someone didn’t timely file for CFAP 2, they now can.”

Across the United States, more than 870,000 applications have been approved for CFAP 2 payments totaling over $13 billion as of March 28, according to the USDA. The dairy sector, specifically, includes 23,308 applicants across the nation receiving a total $1.19 billion; this equates to a little over 9% of the sum of CFAP 2 funds distributed.

In the Upper Midwest, Wisconsin leads with dairy payments at $219 million for 5,933 applicants. Others include Minnesota at $66 million for 2,420 applicants; Michigan at $64 million for 872 applicants; Iowa at $35 million for 956 applicants; Illinois at $14 million for 533 applicants; South Dakota at $13 million for 170 applicants; and North Dakota at $2 million for 70 applicants.

Previous rounds of COVID-19 assistance gave an economic boost to the agriculture industry, and Frericks expects this next round to do the same.

“It’s all coming at a good time as most are actively preparing to put crops in the ground,” he said. “This shot of revenue will help support what (farmers) are doing and allow them opportunity to get additional assistance for their crops and livestock that have been affected by COVID-19.”

Montag is excited to be accepted into the program that spreads dairy awareness.

“When I was little, I heard about dairy princess and it was my dream,” she said. “I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to do this.”

Montag said educating the public about dairy farming and having a platform to do so will be beneficial to her future, as well as fun. She looks forward to the activities – such as passing out free butter and ice cream, waving in parades and working at the county fair – as well as relaying messages about dairy prices and debunking myths.

“A lot of people are confused about milk and plant juice,” she said.

Montag is the daughter of Brian and Christa of Sauk Rapids. The family milks 240 cows on their farm, Montag Dairy.

She is responsible for helping with calf chores and as-

sists with morning milking on weekends and during the summer months.

She also helps with fieldwork, cleaning stalls and pens, and accompanies her father when purchasing cattle.

After serving in the program since 2019, Ackerman and Schreindl will mentor Montag over the next year – sharing their experiences from both the program and from working on dairies themselves.

Schreindl, the daughter of Troy and Missy, has been surrounded by dairy her entire life, growing up on O&S Dairy in Rice.

The family milks 245 cows on their 800-acre farm. Observing from a stroller as an infant and toddler, Schreindl’s role has grown on the dairy farm through each stage of life.

“Now, I milk a couple times a week, feed calves, help whenever I can in the field, hang out with Grandpa (Bruce Olson) and do daily work like cleaning pens and feeding,” she said.

Ackerman is the daughter of Mitch and Tasha of Sauk Rapids.

Dairy ambassador Heidi Montag is introduced alongside her father, Brian, by Sandy Pietrzak, Benton County American Dairy Association vice chair, at the annual banquet and coronation April 13 in Foley. Montag works alongside her parents on their dairy where they milk 240 cows.

She began working in the dairy industry in 2018 when she took on a role at her uncles’ farm. At Ackerman Farms, owned

by Pete and Kevin Ackerman, she started by helping with milking duties but her responsibilities have grown to assisting with chores such as feeding calves, steers and heifers, and driving tractor.

Over the last year, Ackerman and Schreindl served alongside 2020 dairy princess Chloe Janski, who said her farewell

to the program at the banquet. Being able to teach youth and adults about the dairy industry is something Janski valued about her time in the program and she encouraged her fellow dairy enthusiasts to continue to carry the message.
