Sauk Rapids Herald - September 24, 2022

Dedication to education, outdoors serves area communities

D&B Auto Body’s Brandon and Nikki Anderson chose their St. Cloud Technical and Community College programs of study because they had a shared dream.

The couple wanted to own their own business, so they decided the best plan of action was for Brandon to enroll in the autobody, collision and repair technology program and Nikki to enter the school’s sales and management program.

Brandon graduated from the college in 2002 and Nikki in 2001. When previous owners Duane and Betty Martin decided to sell the business, the couple used their knowledge to purchase the business 10 years ago.

“I’ve been on the SCTCC Advisory Board for eight or nine years,” Brandon said. “I started working as a substitute about five years ago, and now I’m an adjunct instructor.”

D&B Auto Body has an active internship program with SCTCC.

“We bring students into our business and get them going on live work,” Brandon said.

Nikki said the technical college approach functions best for the student, who learns with their hands as opposed to reading.

“Ninety-five percent of people in this industry have the talent to do hands-on work,” Nikki said. “If we are going to fix electric and other new cars that are coming out, we have to find the … welding and other specialized equipment the industry requires. Every service business has to make these types of investments.”

Students need to know what the industry is going to require when they start working in a shop, Nikki said.

“We have to merge book learning with hands-on,” she said.

Adaptive driver assistance systems in newer models presents another business challenge.

“We try to educate our customers if we are working on a car that has those features,” Brandon said.

Tesla electric cars are a concern, Brandon said.

“We can only do cosmetic repairs on those types of cars,” he said. “They require a certified repair facility for other work.”

The couple’s children are helping their parents grow the business. Leilani graduated from SCTCC last year with a degree in business management. She is working at D&B with Kenan, who graduated from Sauk Rapids-Rice High School in June.

D&B Auto Body’s community involvement also includes aquatic-based leisure. The business is a SabreStorm Fishing Team sponsor. Brandon and Kenan recently wrapped up another year of student angler tournament trail participation.

The non-profit organization is dedicated to delivering quality

competitive events.

“They do a lot of catch, record and release,” Brandon said.

“That’s what the Student Angler Tournament Trail and its team tournament of champions supports. It’s an activity kids can take on after high school. We’ve visited a number of lakes we thought we would never fi sh.”

Crime & Public Safety

Train engineer assaulted on the job

SAUK RAPIDS – A Sauk Rapids man was behind bars Tuesday after allegedly assaulting a train engineer on a moving train.

According to a press release from Sauk Rapids Police Chief Perry Beise, Samuel David Hohman was arrested Sept. 19.

As of Thursday morning, Hohman remained in custody at the Benton County Jail and was awaiting a hearing on charges of felony assault and felony property damage.

Beise said police o cers were dispatched to the scene of an assault at the intersection of North Benton Drive and First Avenue North shortly before 8:30 a.m. Sept. 20. A BNSF Railway engineer had jumped from a moving train after being assaulted with a knife. Law enforcement learned Hohman had climbed onto the train and entered the cab of the train engine, which was pulling a rock train north from St. Cloud. The engine rolled to a stop a couple miles away in Sartell, and law enforcement arrested Hohman near the stopped train.

The Sartell Police Department and Benton County Sheri ’s O ce assisted in the investigation.

The engineer was transported to the St. Cloud Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries by Mayo Clinic Ambulance Services.

Sauk Rapids man runs from o cers

FOLEY – A Sauk Rapids man is facing charges after leading police on a pursuit in the early morning hours of Sept. 17.

Philip Lloyd Hanson, 41, is charged with one felony count for eeing police o cers in a motor vehicle as well as third- and fourth-degree driving while impaired charges. Hanson could receive a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $5,000 ne for the felony charge if convicted.

According to a criminal complaint led in Benton County, o cers from the St. Cloud Police Department attempted a tra c stop shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Hanson after observing him driving about 80 mph in a 30 mph zone near Ninth Avenue South and University Drive South in Stearns County. Hanson led o cers on a pursuit that took them into Benton County; law enforcement used a immobilization maneuver to stop Hanson’s vehicle.

Hanson was placed under arrest and identi ed. Ofcers observed an alcoholic odor on his breath and noted bloodshot, watery eyes and slurred speech. A eld sobriety test indicated he was impaired and a breath test, after being transported to the St. Cloud Police Department, showed a blood alcohol concentration of .16%.

Hanson was booked into the Benton County Jail Sept. 17 and released Sept. 20. His next court date is set for Sept. 27.

MDH highlights crisis lifeline during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

Call 988 for help

ST. PAUL – In observation of September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, health o cials are reminding Minnesotans that suicide is preventable, recovery is possible and help is available at any time by calling 988.

Earlier this summer, the United States rolled out a nationwide three-digit dialing code – 988 – as a way to access suicide prevention and crisis support. Since switching to 988 on July 16, calls to Minnesota’s four call centers have increased 44%. Minnesota has also seen a 173% increase in web chats (since January) and 250% increase in texts to 988. The increase is believed to be in large part because the new 988 dialing option made it easier to remember how to access a trained counselor for suicide support and resources. Minnesota received 33,887 calls, 4,099 chats and 1,306 texts in 2021.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Minnesota’s four call centers o er support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

There continues to be a great need for 988 support services as suicide, or death by intentional self-harm, has been steadily rising in Minnesota for the past 20 years.

According to preliminary data, there were 777 suicides in 2021, mirroring trends across the United States. This is the

seventh straight year in which more than 700 Minnesotans died by suicide. In addition, each year in Minnesota there are more than 10,000 self-harm or suicidal injuries treated by health care providers.

“We know the last few years have been incredibly challenging mentally, emotionally and physically for many Minnesotans,” said Jan Malcolm, Minnesota Commissioner of Health. “Please take advantage of this awareness month to check in with the people in your life and consider reminding them that the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available for anyone in need of crisis or mental health support.”

Local leaders, community organizations and employers can take steps to prevent suicide by sharing resources on 988 and other crisis services; bringing suicide prevention training to schools, faith communities, workplaces or other communities; sharing suicide prevention messages and resources through social media; and promoting other programs within the community that encourage positive healthy activities and places for connection.

Toolkits can be found at www.health.state.mn.us/communities/suicide/basics/awarenessmonth.html.

The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is one among several ongoing Minnesota initiatives to prevent suicides, including mental health training for

school sta and the Zero Suicide Initiative.

Minnesota started providing the Kognito At-Risk mental health training for school sta at no cost in May 2020. Kognito At-Risk is a virtual training that provides role-playing simulations to help educators and school sta gain an understanding of mental health and recognize the signs of distress. More than 13,215 school sta members in Minnesota have taken Kognito At-Risk.

In addition, Kognito’s Friend2Friend is a student curriculum for grades 6-12 that teaches about emotional and mental wellness, and how to support classmates who may be struggling. To date, 757 students in eight school districts have completed Kognito Friend2Friend.

Another initiative is Zero Suicide, which is a framework to improve the suicide and selfharm care within health care and behavioral health clinics and organizations. This initiative helps identify people with thoughts of suicide and connects them to resources and treatment. It also focuses on ensuring clinicians and sta receive adequate training as it relates to suicide prevention and intervention. In Minnesota, 36 health and behavioral health care systems have committed to adopting the Zero Suicide framework and have completed the initial Zero Suicide training.

What life lesson has being involved in activities taught you? Being in activities has taught me how important it is to work with the people around you. This will really help me in the future.
