Thomes family transitions Little Free Library to help community BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Having a Little Free Library can encourage reading of all ages in a free, local setting, allowing anyone to first read and then return a book for their neighbors and friends. But two libraries in Sauk Rapids have transitioned during the COVID-19 outbreak. Mindy Thomes was tagged in a post on Facebook sparking the idea to transition the Little Free Library in their yard, located at 1201 Meadows Drive, to a Little Free Pantry. Thomes enlisted her parents to do the same with their location at 616 11th St. N. “We thought with the uncertainty right now, it could help others,” Thomes said. “We

Virtual art contest fills the gap as students remain home
Children interpret themes in variety of ways
BY NATASHA BARBER | STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – The day to day routine of public school students was shifted dramatically March 15 when Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ordered schools to suspend in-person instruction and plan for distance learning. As a result, a large amount of time was left open for the community’s littlest learners, and ideas for coloring pages, interactive story times and scavengers hunts appeared on social media. The Rice Elementary School PTA was quick to respond with a virtual art contest that same day. Students could create artwork outside of the classroom setting and submit entries by the end of the week via email. Artwork from three categories would be selected to win a $20 craft store gift card provided by the parent and teacher association. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Deanna Quade, third-year president of Rice Elementary PTA, said the idea was inspired through National PTA leaders. “We went ahead and made it work for our school to give the kids something to look forward to,” Quade said. Community members were notified of the contest through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The first week’s contest featured the theme storm; the second featured spring. “We got all sorts of interpretation of storm from literal storms of rain and tornados to quite a few, probably more, who interpreted it as our Sauk Rapids-Rice mascot,” Quade said. “We had a few submissions about staying on the PATH which leads into the Storm motto of prepared, accepting, trustworthy and helpful. We’re trying to keep the themes broad so the kids can do whatever they like.” Students used crayon, paint, colored pencil and marker, feathers, cotton, yarn, tissue paper and more for their designs. Over 20 pieces of artwork were submitted each week and the creations are featured via

from front the group’s social media pages. Inga Neigum, 7, Cash Rogers, 7, and Wyatt Ackerman, 10, won the first week’s storm-themed challenge. “I was really excited because I’m not that good of an artist,” Wyatt said. Wyatt won the fifth and sixth grade division and drew the Sauk RapidsRice Youth Basketball Organization logo.
Cash’s piece, which took home the top prize amongst second and third grade submissions, pictured two lightening bolts created with watercolors and marker. Inga used mixed media to create a tornado for the kindergarten through first grade category. “So, I used beads on top of each other, cereal and ripped paper and made it into a triangle,” she said. The mothers of the students said their children worked on the projects intermittently over a couple
of days, coming back to them to add detail after taking breaks. “It was a nice connection to school,” said Beth Neigum, Inga’s mother, who is a teacher at Pine Meadow Elementary School in Sartell. Wyatt’s mom, Erica Ackerman, said the contest was one of many ways her family and children were filling their time as routine has been broken. “We’re just kind of getting creative, I guess.” Erica said. “We’ve found
things on Pinterest; we’ve been baking.” The spring-themed contest concluded last week, but the Rice Elementary PTA plans to post more ideas in the future. “We want to keep looking for things that we can have students do that keep them engaged, learning and excited,” Quade said. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Since March 6, Minnesota has confirmed 742 positive cases of COVID-19. Roughly half of those people have fully recovered. As of Thursday, 38 patients were in intensive care units and 18 had died. The MDH began including additional information on its website midweek. MDH now lists statistics about likely exposure sources, age demographics, and age ranges of case divisions. A third of the people who have tested positive to the contagion are suspected to have contracted the virus through community spread, and the most cases in any one age group are 316 amongst 20- to 44-year-old people. Of the entire case group, 52% are female. The median age of fatalities is 83. Over 22,000 Minnesotans have been tested for

COVID-19, but with testing supplies slim, the true number of those infected is not known. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm informed the public April 2 that they are working to provide more information to the public as questions arise. Walz said a web portal with information surrounding the status of personal protective equipment and available ICU units would be available Friday. “People do need to recognize the shortage of personal protective equipment is a serious thing,” Walz said. “It’s why we’re doing all we can to get the manufacturing up … We need a focus like we built tanks in WWII to build these things, and they need to be done now.” Walz said homemade masks are great protection tools for those on the streets, but that they will not work in the healthcare settings where providers are treating confirmed cases. He did not give a clear answer as to whether or not he thought people in the public should be protecting themselves with masks at all times. Malcolm confirmed that MDH would begin releasing names of congregate care settings with confirmed COVID-19 cases as long as the facilities had 10 or more beds. That information should be available on the MDH website by April 5. To date, 11 of the 18 COVID-10 fatalities have been tied to congregate care settings which are defined as skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care or group home facilities. Forty-seven facilities have at least one confirmed case with eight cases being the most in one facility. Other highlights of the April 2: – Steve Kelley, Department of Commerce Commissioner, said the state worked with Minne-
sota health insurance plan providers to waive costsharing for preventative, telemedicine or treatment of COVID-19 through May 31. Fully insured markets will avoid in-network hospital costs. The department is still negotiating out-of-network costs in the event they become needed. – Joe Kelly, Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director, said a letter will be sent to President Donald Trump asking for declaration of a major disaster. The declaration would free federal funding for community outreach and mental health services. – Steve Grove, Department of Employment and Economic Development, reported that since March 16, Minnesota has received nearly 300,000 unemployment applications of which 90% have been set up for payment. The top three industries requesting are food preparation and serving, health care and sales and service. He said nearly as many (300,821) new job postings have been placed with them. Nursing assistants, customer service representatives and registered nurses are of highest demand. – Walz addressed whether school would return to in-person instruction following May 4, saying the likelihood was slim. “This is heartbreaking,” Walz said. “We have a whole generation that is missing out. We would have seen state track records fall, we would have seen perfect baseball and softball seasons; we’re not going to.” Dr. Heather Mueller, deputy commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education, said the department will work creatively with districts to recognize the graduating class of 2020 should ceremonies not be allowed to take place.

Something so little can mean so much to someone else.” For the Thomes family, transitioning their library to a pantry has become a family project. The family aimed to place nonperishables in the pantry that could go further nutritionally than snacks like chips or candy. Mindy and her husband, Jeremy, shopped for the initial groceries, but each of their children chose an item to add to the list, from canned fruit and veggies, to pasta and sauce, to baby food. As the stock has rotated and others have donated, items like juice boxes, diapers and soaps have been added. Thomes said restocking the pantry has become a family affair. “It is a nice way for people to come take things without having to ask for help,” Thomes
said. “Sometimes it can be embarrassing to ask for help, and we don’t want that. We want people to feel comfortable coming and taking what they need. As the current situation continues and more businesses shut down, the need may increase, so it is important to us to keep this available to others as long as we are able.”

are able to do something to give back to our community.” Thomes and her parents made the transition three weeks ago. While the family invested in the initial costs to start the pantry, Thomes said they receive a lot of donations to keep it stocked. “The one at my parents is in the Pleasantview Elementary neighborhood and is very well-known and traveled,” Thomes said. “They get donations and have to restock a little bit more often than we do.” There is one other known pantry location in Sauk Rapids. A library at 1007 Second Ave. N., was also converted into a pantry to help amidst the coronavirus crisis. According to best practices on the Little Free Library website, people utilizing these communal book (and food) sources should wash and sanitize hands before and after, clean books and packaging with disinfectant wipes, practice social distancing when visiting the locations and avoid the locations altogether if they are ill. Members of the community have contributed to the pantries, some leaving a can of vegetables and others leaving enough food to fill the unit. From observation, Thomes said those utilizing the pantry have been selective of what they take, being sure to leave items for others. “It is great to see others coming out to help those in need,” Thomes said. “It is also great to see people being able to

God sends people to people I watched John Krasinski’s “Some Good News” YouTube video the other day, and it melted my heart. Fifteen minutes of good news stories. They all had one thing in common: People were connecting all over the world. This connection thing LIFE BY FAITH I keep writing about is BY MERCY NYGAARD God’s covenantal design for us. It is why these videos of people together through a window or screen bring us joy. We must break through barriers of our own making to connect with others, and nothing showed me how powerful God can move through this than my most recent experience. This last week, a 72-year-old woman came to our home. I met her in the driveway, and she delivered us an animated Christian film for the kids. Glancing down, I noticed swelling in her ankles as she forced her feet out of the car and over to myself to hand me the movie. “I’m headed to the grocery store for a few things, is there anything, anything at all that you need?” she said. “I will gladly pick some things up for you.” I smiled grandly, enamored by her gusto. She then made the hugging gesture as we stood apart. I knew she was healthy, and she knew I was healthy because she prays often for us. Yes, here I am healthy, in my 30s, with six kids busy inside doing life, trying hard to finish responsibilities, so they can get outside. And, after she insisted on helping me by going to the store, she bravely proclaimed, “Oh, I don’t care!” She moved forward, one strong, staggering step after another, opened her arms and wrapped them around me. She blessed my children and immensely blessed me. Some might see her behavior as too risky, disobedient and unwise. I only saw Jesus. The kingdom came to earth as it is in heaven in that instant. As we practice social distancing, remember you are not confined inside four walls – yet. Remember that if you are a believer, do not buffer the Holy Spirit with man-made fear. Be sensitive. Be a fool. Because then he can use you. You can do this with wisdom. The harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few. Start praying for God to open your eyes to the labor he would have you work during this time. I know I am guilty of putting off some whispers from the Holy Spirit. I have a new understanding thanks to my visitor today and more fuel and a better perspective. I know you are torn reading this. We are told to stay home, social distance. Just trust in Jesus with a spirit of power and love and a sound mind, listening and laying down pride. Be bold and obedient in Jesus. Ask for wisdom, gain understanding. This 72 year old woman was filled with faith and laughed without fear of the future. With Jesus, so can we. “Oh Mercy, what you say is so risky.” I do not mean fools for Jesus equates stupid behavior, gathering senselessly. That is wrong. I mean that God uses the seemingly foolish things – a person at high risk doing God’s work – to shame the wise. Before Jesus touched the leper, I bet they said, “Yikes, that is foolish.”(Luke 5:13) After the leper was healed, shame must have come over them along with awe. I also admire Paul, who put his hand on the sweaty man who had dysentery when his comrades (or me) might have asked, “Are you sure you want to touch that, I mean him?” (Acts 28:8) There are too many people hurting alone. Model sharing life responsibly. If you are healthy, bless someone. If you are sick, stay home. Can you bless during a pandemic? With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

) SS DISTRICT COURT SEVENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT TO: ALL PERSONS WITH A LEGAL INTEREST IN THE PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING DELINQUENT TAX LIST A list of real property in Benton County on which delinquent property taxes and penalties are due has been filed with the District Court Administrator of Benton County. This list is subject to forfeiture because of delinquent taxes. The property owner, taxpayer, or other interested person must either pay the tax and penalty plus interest and costs, or file a written objection with the District Court Administrator. The objection must be filed by April 25th, 2020, stating the reason why the tax or penalty is not due on the property. If no objection is filed, a court judgment will be entered against the property for the unpaid tax, penalty, interest, and costs. For property under court judgment, the period of redemption begins on the second Monday of May, 2020, and ends three years later. The period of redemption means the time within which taxes must be paid to avoid losing the property through forfeiture. To avoid forfeiture, taxes must be paid by the second Monday in May, 2023. To determine how much interest and costs must be added to pay the tax in full, contact the Benton County Auditor-Treasurer’s Office, Courthouse, P O Box 129, Foley, MN 56329, telephone number (320) 968-5006.

Dalvin Cook is a great player, but if the Vikings tie up their precious cap space in a massive contract extension for their running back, I guarantee they are going to rue that decision. The Vikings are in uncharted territory. Rick Spielman and Zimmer have largely been able to keep their core group of talent intact since they have been in charge of this franchise, but the exodus of veteran talent this offseason puts them in a precarious position. The team’s depth, particularly in the secondary and offensive line, is nonexistent. If the Vikings do not draft well this summer to effectively re-stock their talent pipeline, and they fail to use their cap room effectively, they are going to be left with a topheavy roster that cannot compete.

After the Minnesota Vikings made a series of salary-shedding moves that opened up considerable salary cap room on their payroll, the team’s front office is facing a dilemma. An overwhelming majority of the top free agents that were available this offseason already signed with other teams, and the Vikings need to decide whether investing in contract extensions for in-house talent, particularly at the running back position, is the best use of their newfound cap space. The Vikings are going to look different next season. Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, Linval Joseph, Everson Griffen, Stefon Diggs, Josh Kline, Andrew Sendejo, Laquon Treadwell, Stephen Weatherly and Jayron Kearse have either already signed with other teams or are unrestricted free agents. Those guys were all significant contributors last year, and the team would not have gone 10-6 and won a road playoff game without those guys. However, the team also saved tons of money by moving on from those players, and that, combined with the $10 million in cap room the Vikings saved this year by restructuring quarterback Kirk Cousins’ contract, gives the team substantial payroll flexibility and the opportunity to replenish the roster with external talent or extend the contracts of players already on

A pet bunny jumpstarts
Zeppelin’s A-Z Rabbitry Five years in the making, family continues to look forward BY JAKOB KOUNKEL STAFF WRITER
FOLEY — Ava Zeppelin wanted a rabbit when she was 11 years old, and her mom, Hillary Zeppelin, hopped to it to get her one. Now, five years later, they operate Zeppelin’s A-Z Rabbitry in Sauk Rapids, where they breed, raise and show rabbits Holland Lop and American Fuzzy Lop rabbits. Ava’s friend showed rabbits in the Albany Southsiders 4-H program, and Ava, now 16, soon fell in love with the idea of having a companion of her own. When Ava told her mom her idea, Hillary surprised her daughter not long after with her first bunny, Ginger. “We had nothing to do with rabbits before that,” Hillary said, who works as a nursing assistant at the CentraCare St. Cloud Hospital and ran a daycare prior to the
rabbitry. In a short amount of time, Hillary and Ava jumped fervently into the world of rabbits. As she prepared the animals for events, Ava quickly transitioned a love for bunnies as pets to admiration and respect as the bunnies’ caretaker. Ava competed at the 96th annual American Rabbit Breeders Association Convention and Show in Reno, Nevada, last October where she placed third in the solid senior buck class, fourth in the broken senior doe class and 10th in the broken senior buck class, showing Holland Lops for each . The family has also traveled across the region for competition in Minnesota and states such as North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. “It’s not easy. And it’s a lot of work, and it’s doing chores every night. And it’s cleaning their little cages and everything,” Ava said.

Rural Finance Authority funding to allow COVID-19 response Walz signs $330 million relief bill with provision
ST. PAUL – Assistance from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Rural Finance Authority will be available to help farmers whose operations are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. A $330 million Minnesota COVID-19 relief bill Gov. Tim Walz signed into law March 28 contains provisions expanding the use of funding for the RFA that was approved earlier this spring, opening up the Disaster Recovery Loan Program for loss of revenue due to human contagious disease. “It’s important we make sure farmers whose businesses are affected by the COVID-19 outbreak have resources to help them get through this difficult period,” said Thom Petersen, commissioner of MDA. “We’re thankful the legislature authorized these changes to give the RFA greater flexibility in allocating these funds.” In addition, the legislature expanded the animal diseases covered by the Disaster Recovery Loan Program and opened it up more broadly to hazards, rather than naming them specifically. Walz signed a bill into law allocating $50 million to the RFA, replenishing the funds available to offer Minnesota farmers affordable financing and terms and conditions not available from traditional lenders. Minnesota farmers interested in learning more about the assistance offered by the Rural Finance Authority should visit https://www.mda.state.mn.us or call 651-201-6004.

Bringing information about the industry Benton County American Dairy Association crowns three princesses FOLEY – Emily Schreindl, Chloe Janski and Allie Ackerman have known each other for years. Janski and Schreindl have attended school together since their elementary days, and Ackerman has participated in athletic activities with Schreindl since middle school. The three girls have long shared an emotional connection. That is only one aspect of their relationships, however, as the trio have also represented Benton County’s dairy industry as dairy ambassadors since they were selected to the positions last April. With their interest in the state of dairy farming, Schreindl, Janski and Ackerman were crowned dairy princesses of Benton County by the Benton County American Dairy Association March 8. “Now that I’m a princess, I can bring awareness of the dairy industry to other people,” Ackerman said. “It’s not just for me; I can represent the dairy industry.” Relaying information has proven to be crucial in the livelihood of a Benton County Dairy Princess Program representative, and the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School students
heavily involve themselves in providing crucial details about the importance of dairy farming. “When I look back, that’s where my passions sprung from, wanting to express that farmers are one of the hardest working people on the planet,” Janski said. “They deserve all the appreciation, looking at what they’ve done for us.” The three girls all respect the work of farmers, and it comes from more than simply an education-driven outsider’s perspective. The princesses share family backgrounds rooted in dairy farming. Schreindl’s family owns O&S Dairy in Rice where she helps with farm work. A huge misconception she notices is many people envision dairy farming as mostly milking cows. The actual process is far more exhaustive but necessary. “It’s not all about the cows and milking them,” Schreindl said. “It’s the field work, getting them their food, taking care of them day-by-day. It takes a lot of work every day to keep everything going steady.” Janski and Ackerman do not live on farms themselves but are accustomed to the lifestyle nonetheless. Janski’s uncle owns a dairy farm near Golden Spike Road, and beginning in fourth

grade, she began to aid her relative by feeding calves. Coincidently, Ackerman’s uncle also owns a dairy, and given its half-mile proximity, the junior helps around the farm. Through their family paths, the girls have gathered an intriguing knowledge of the inner workings of dairy farming. “They’re coming from a dairy farm and know what the dairy farmers are going through,” said Joan Fleck, president of the Benton County American Dairy Association. “They have family members in the dairy farming industry. There’s more knowledge behind it, and they can relate more with farmers.” The girls have seen what a dairy princess brings to the table, as their ambassador duties gave them prior experience. They recall handing out
butter in Gilman and Sauk Rapids, participating in parades and running a malt stand at the Benton County Fair. “Last year, we had a princess to guide us,” Ackerman said. “We got to work for her so we could learn the ropes of the parade and all that. We get to show the public that we are for dairy and get to show the public what dairy really means and how it’s important to us and the world.” Because of their young age, the princesses are not eligible for the Princess Kay of the Milky Way competition, crowned annually at the Minnesota State Fair. However, the girls find reward in providing an educational outlook to the area’s dairy industry. Eventually, they want to bring their information
into classrooms. “Personally, I want to go to a classroom and talk to younger kids, and I don’t know if we’ll be able to do that this year,” Schreindl said. After all, the reaction and responses from children have been impactful on the princesses’ enjoyment of their roles. During the Benton County Fair, they were often approached by curious youth, who challenged them with

several silly dairy-related inquiries. “They ask me questions like, ‘Where does chocolate milk from?’ and you explain it to them and it makes you so happy,” Janski said. “I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s a powerful thing.” Regardless of whether the COVID-19 pandemic brings chaos to summer’s dairy-based events, the girls are fortunate for the bond they have as former dairy ambassadors and now dairy princesses. “Those girls are very hard-working, and I love them to pieces,” Janski said. “I think they can inspire every girl to be a part of this program.” And after the program’s resolute revival in 2017, the combination of Janski, Schreindl and Ackerman stands at the forefront of a hopeful future of dairy farming advocates in central Minnesota. “We have girls interested and getting the word out there for farmers,” Fleck said. “We’re hoping that we can keep it going next year if they continue to be dairy princesses.”

members to this opportunity in the central region. Building Leadership and Understanding, also known as BLU, is an annual leadership retreat offered regionally across Minnesota. This year’s theme of Unmask Your Inner Leader encouraged youth to discuss their strengths, leadership styles and characteristics of great leaders. Participants engaged in small and large group discussions, team building activities, personal awareness experiences and informational sessions. The leadership retreat was facilitated by youth leaders from the Minnesota 4-H State Ambassador program and supported by a team of adult chaperones. “The central BLU leadership retreat was one of five 4-H events offered this winter to Minnesota youth in grades six through 12,” said Jacquie Lonning, civic engagement and leadership director at the University of Minnesota Extension Center for Youth Development. “4-H uses these retreats to help youth learn valuable leadership skills they can apply in their communities and make connections with people from other parts of the state.” Benton County youth

enjoyed the opportunity to meet people from other counties. “My favorite part of going to BLU was meeting new people and making new friends,” said Marissa Kuklok, of Foley. “Everyone was so nice and accepting of everyone no matter what you looked like or how you acted. I was excited to learn more about leadership from true leaders.” The youth also had the opportunity
to explore the Bell Museum of the University of Minnesota campus in St. Paul and participated in team building activities and rock climbing at the St. Paul Gym. “Rock climbing was one of the best things we got to do,” said Makayla Benc, of Foley. “I loved having a chance to meet new people and learn about being a leader in our community.”
