David Peacock, a St. Cloud Metro Bus Dial-a-Ride driver, recently took second place in the 29th Annual Minnesota Statewide Bus Roadeo. The event encompasses safety training and a driver obstacle course.
Local driver competes at Statewide Bus Roadeo by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
WINONA — When Sauk Rapids resident David Peacock arrives for work each morning, there’s no doubt his skills are put to the test, but it’s not every day Peacock competes for a title. This month he did. Almost 40 public transit drivers from 20 agencies gathered at Minnesota State Southeast Technical College in Winona July 9 for the 29th Annual Minnesota Statewide Bus Roadeo. Peacock, a Dial-a-Ride driver for St. Cloud Metro Bus, placed second in the small bus division, falling behind fellow co-worker and Holdingford resident Todd DeZurik. “I always encourage all of our drivers to participate [at the local level],” said Peacock, who also trains drivers for Metro Bus. “It’s not about winning. It makes you a better driver. Even after being at the state roadeo I’m a lot
sharper than I had been going in.” The Minnesota Statewide Bus Roadeo is a competition where drivers display their skills in a timed obstacle course which simulates reallife scenarios of driving public transportation. It uses colored point-valued cones and for each cone tipped or hit, points are deducted from a maximum score. Drivers are not only judged by their maneuvering skills, but also by their knowledge of pre-trips and safety skills like wheelchair securement which are used in their daily routes. There are on-board judges refereeing their skills within the bus, as well as, those watching and collecting data from the outside. “It’s a saftey training event,” said Berta Hartig, Marketing and Communications Manager for St. Cloud Metro Bus and Minnesota Statewide Bus Roadeo Committee member. “It’s a good way for our drivers to test
their skills and receive extra training as well. It’s also an opportunity for them to connect with other professional drivers throughout the state.” St. Cloud Metro Bus holds an optional local roadeo for its drivers each spring and designates the top two place finishers to attend the statewide event. Peacock, who has driven roughly 288,000 miles since he began at Metro Bus in 2001, has advanced 10 out of 12 times he has competed locally. He earned the state title in 2007 and has a near accident-free record with the company, after icy conditions led him to bump into a dumpster eight years ago. But even though Peacock has been competing in the roadeo for a number of years, it doesn’t make it easy. “I hate doing the serpentine. It’s my worst nightmare — I hit a cone every time,” he said. “But each driver finds different things more and less difficult.”
The obstacles and tests can change each year and depending on the host site, the bus might be different than one drivers are used to. Weather elements can come into effect and competitors don’t necessarily know what they are being judged on. For instance, according to Peacock, drivers were to find four things wrong during their pre-trip of their bus at competition. The judges actually create more than four things wrong and although a driver might find four or more errors, they need to catch the specific errors listed on the judging sheet in order to receive all points. “It’s very difficult the first time, but I still get nervous now before I go out,” Peacock said. “The biggest thing when it comes to the roadeo, as it is with everyday driving as well, is that you have to set up your mirrors. If you don’t set up your mirrors in a roadeo, you’re pretty much doomed.”
Benton County declares state of emergency
July 11 storms cause damage by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
BENTON COUNTY – Tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings encompassed central Minnesota July 11 as storms brought through heavy rains and strong winds. Throughout the county, townships reported thousands of dollars in flood damage, causing the Benton County Board of Commissioners to meet July 15 and pass a resolution declaring a state of emergency in the county. “Since the state has not declared a state of emergency, if the counties and townships wish to be eligible for funding for any state disaster assistance, it’s necessary for our county board to approve this local disaster declaration,” said Monty Headley, Benton County Administrator. Benton County has reported $15,000 in damage for county roads and land, Granite Ledge Township has reported $20,000 in damage and Lan-
gola Township has reported $50,000. These numbers will take the county above their monetary damage assessment indicator of $68, 635. “Because we reached that threshold, if the governor declares a disaster and releases some funding, we would be eligible to recoup some of our costs,” said Larry Nadeau, Deputy Director of Benton County’s Emergency Management Department. “By passing this resolution, we will be included in any funding the governor releases. If we wouldn’t have passed this, the chances for funding would be less likely.” Nadeau recommends that any township with damage should report to the county and keep good records of expenses. Several other counties, including Morrison, Meeker, Aitkin, Crow Wing, Mille Lacs, have made their declarations as well. “I’m guessing there’s a lot of damage that isn’t reported yet,” said District 3 Commissioner Jim McMahon, “but the damage could have been a lot worse.”

Marching rching band goes on tour to unknown destinations by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Planning for a trip can be a lot of work. You look at the weather to figure out what to pack, you map out expenses for gas or flights and much more. For 50 Sauk Rapids-Rice High School (SRRHS) students preparing for their summer tour was difficult – because they didn’t know where they were going. “After 18 years of doing trips, you start to see they are interested in whether they’ve been to these places before, is it worth their time and is it bigger than the last trip,” said Scott Campbell, director of the SRRHS Marching Storm. “That’s the fun of doing a mystery tour. Now the only

questions are where are we going and what are we doing when we get there.” The group was gone from July 1-6 and experienced various parts of Colorado, South Dakota and Minnesota – experiencing activities from taking the train to the top of Pike’s Peak, riding 4x4 Jeeps up the mountainsides in Colo-
rado, visiting the Air Force Academy and the University of Northern Colorado, to swimming at Evan’s Plunge, a naturally heated swimming pool in Hot Springs, South Dakota. “The most memorable part was riding the 4x4 Jeeps. Our tour guide was so fun. As we started driving down,
he’d go fast over bumps and mud and would crank up the Indiana Jones theme song,” said Quinlen Marshall, a student on the trip. “That’s probably the most fun I’ve had on a band trip and I’ve gone on four of them now.” To gain interest, Campbell announced they would be going to Colorado at some point
and they would be marching in a parade, but nothing more. “We didn’t know much, but that made it fun,” Marshall said. “I think of all the crazy things Mr. Campbell had months to come up with. I had faith he wasn’t going to do something we wouldn’t enjoy, but you have no idea what you’re doing or how long it’s
going to take.” While on tour, the group marched in the Greeley parade, the largest parade in Colorado. As they marched, they had about 80,000 spectators. “Being in that parade

Rogholt named interim director of Early Childhood Family Education by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
The Sauk Rapids-Rice School Board approved Megan Rogholt as the interim director of Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) at their July 18 meeting. The position is a one-year interim necessitated by the timing of the director search and the absence of qualified applicants. Rogholt retains the right to return to her District Instructional Coach position for the
2017-18 school year. In that same motion, Board Clerk Phil Rogholt requested to be removed from the ECFE advisory council for the 2016-17 school year, which was approved by the board. In other school board news: • Approved a $250 annual membership for the Benton County Economic Partnership (BEP). The motion also included having Chairman Mark Hauck attend and report
on the BEP meetings. • Approved St. Cloud State University’s IGNITE Center agreement and annual membership at a cost of $4932.07. IGNITE provides new-to-profession educator support and area district collaboration. • The scheduled maintenance projects are underway at each of the schools in preparation for the upcoming school year. These improvements were discussed at the June 20 board meeting.

was different. There was absolutely no stopping and no formation changes like we were used to,” said Britney Munson, another student on the trip. “It’s such a relaxed setting with no competition and people on the sidelines were really supportive of us and cheering.” For Campbell, seeing the band in a different setting was exciting. “It was really fun to see them in an environment where
they are doing something they aren’t used to, more people than they’re used to and being called out by so many people in the crowd,” Campbell said. The marching band season has come to an end, with only the Rice parade left, and for recent graduates Marshall and Munson, it’s bittersweet. “Marching in the Greeley parade was hard for us seniors because that’s essentially our last parade before Rice and it’s sad because marching
band has been a big part of our lives,” Marshall said. Munson agrees, knowing it will be tough to see the season end. “I think the tour tied everything together from the season,” she said. “All of the friendships just tightened on the trip and everyone became a big family. After the season we’ve had, I’m super proud of the band and I’m looking forward to coming back and watching them perform.”
Well-head action steps could free future funding by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
RICE — The city of Rice received an update on the current proceedings of their Well-head Protection Plan at Monday’s meeting. Municipalities are required by the state to have Well-head Protection Plans which must be updated every ten years. In 2017, Rice’s plan will become out-of-date. Project Engineer, EIT Jonathon Fleck of Bollig Inc presented the council with a quick overview of what his company is doing to update their plan. Fleck pinpointed areas of the city which present more opportunities for improvement and said his company is currently compiling a
list of old wells and charting whether they are sealed or inuse. Fleck also said the city and company will need to work together to develop action plans to include in the new Well-head Protection Plan so that the city is able to access grants and additional funding for particular projects in the future. In other council news: - Approved resolution 07182016-01, a donation from T. O. Friehammer of $150.00 to the Rice Fire Department for equipment purchases. - Approved resolution 07182016-02, a joint powers agreement between the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Kelm and Reuter, P.A.
and the city of Rice allowing the police department to submit criminal complaints to the prosecutor’s office electronically through an already existing program called “Echarging.” - Approved an add-on utility billing module from the Banyon Data System. The add-on cost a one-time fee of $599 and will allow the city to gather data about water usage which will enable them to make informed rate increase decisions, as well as provide them with other useful information. - Approved an on-sale liquor license for the Rice Fire Fighters Association for August 20 and the early morning of August 21.

Primary election Aug. 9 The Sauk Rapids mayoral candidates, Brad Gunderson, Kurt Hunstiger and Guy Konietzko will compete against each other in the 2016 primary election on Aug. 9. Here is what each had to say in response to the Sauk Rapids Herald’s questions. Note: The city of Rice does not partake in a primary election for the position of mayor. More in-depth question and answers will be published in October leading up to general election day Nov. 8.
Kurt Hunstiger Age: 56 Profession/Job: Vice President-Wealth Advisor at Bremer Trust Wealth Management Education: Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor Family: Wife, Ruth and two children Michael and Emillee Political/civic experience: Sauk Rapids City Council - 10 years; Sauk Rapids Planning Commission- 14 years; Sauk Rapids Joint Planning Board- 12 years; Sauk Rapids HRA Board- 2 years; St. Cloud Whitney Senior Center Advisory Board- 6 years; St. Cloud Metropolitan Transit Commission Board- 2 years. Why are you running for mayor? I have been an active member in various city positions for the past 22 years preparing me to lead Sauk Rapids, and I felt now was the time. I have learned every aspect of the city so I could be the most effective leader. My experience shows my vast array of exposure and experience working for the residents of Sauk Rapids. I not only have a history of civic engagement, my extensive years of experience in private business make me a wellrounded candidate to serve as Sauk Rapids Mayor. I am ready to put those years of experience to use and take the city in a direction of positive growth and a healthy professional environment. My proven leadership and my strong interest in serving the residents of Sauk Rapids make me a great candidate for mayor. What traits do you possess that you feel makes you the best candidate to the position of mayor? I feel I bring honesty, integrity, accountability and professionalism to the city council currently and would continue to do so as mayor. I listen and respond to residents in a professional manner, always being honest with them even if we have a difference of opinions on an issue. I listen to both sides of an issue before making a decision and I am willing to look for common ground or compromise. What do you feel are the biggest issues facing the city of Sauk Rapids? We need to be fiscally responsible to our city residents while providing the necessary services in a cost effective manner. This includes providing adequate police and fire protection, water and sewer utilities, good roadways and park amenities. We need to maintain our community’s largest investment, our infrastructure-sewer, water and roads. We need to attract additional businesses downtown so Sauk Rapids becomes a destination for shopping, dining and park amenities. We need additional industrial property to allow our current businesses to grow and to attract new businesses to the city. We need to make sure we have an adequate supply of new residential housing lots to attract new families to the community and allow current residents more options if they choose to build a new home and stay in Sauk Rapids. We need to include all large projects/equipment purchases in our 10-year capital plan. Proper planning avoids future challenges. What ideas or plans do you have that will help the city tackle these issues? We need to make sure our city staff/community development office has the proper tools to market our community to businesses and future residents/developers. We also need to make sure our HRA is working with both existing businesses and new businesses if they need financial help in expanding or relocating to the city. I would like to make sure our development costs are not cost prohibitive to developers and prospective businesses so they choose Sauk Rapids for their business or home location. I would like to hold work planning sessions with city staff and all of the boards/commissions to get their input on what they feel we can do more of, better or differently. I would discuss future staffing with departments to make sure we are providing adequate service. I would schedule community planning sessions to gather input from residents regarding the progress of the city and future planning.
Thank you for supporting the businesses that support this newspaper.
Brad Gunderson Age: 51 Profession/Job: Certified Nursing Assistant, St. Cloud Veteran’s Affairs Health Care System - Building 51, first floor locked dementia unit. Education: Masters Degree in Life, Love and Family. St. Cloud Vocational and Technology Institute, Ridgeview Community College, MTC Multiple Training and Safety Courses, St. Cloud Area Citizens Police Academy, AFL-CIO Union Steward Training (contract negotiations and grievance writing), League of Minnesota Elected Officials Training and many more individualized training classes on city and state run offices, property taxes and tax levies. Family: Wife (First Lady of Sauk Rapids) Fay Gunderson who is a lifelong resident of Sauk Rapids. Daughters - Andrea and Jessica Gunderson. Sons - Ben Kieke, Jacob Gunderson, Adam Wheeler (wife Kristie) and two granddaughters Ezrie and Teyla. Political/ civic experience: Current mayor of the City of Sauk Rapids, first term; Sauk Rapids City Council, 10 years; Current Chairman of the St. Cloud Area Planning Organization, (APO member 10 years); Independent School District No. 47 Adult/Recreation Advisory Committee, 4 years; AFL-CIO (elected Union Steward) at Electrolux, 4 years. Why are you running for mayor? I am the current mayor who has been a strong and supportive advocate for our city from the beginning and feel positive about past and current accomplishments and decisions regarding our cities financial and residential needs. My fellow councilors and I have worked hard to create a community that provides a sense of place and that we all know as the great city of Sauk Rapids. Just think back 10 short years ago and I believe you will agree, “We have come a long way baby.” Sauk Rapids was named the most affordable Minnesota city to live in by Burnett Realty. The initiation of the Single Hauler Refuse System and the Street Light Utility Fee contributed to lowering taxes and keeping the tax levy the same for the last six years. All these things just scratch the surface of what we have done to make Sauk Rapids great again.
Guy Konietzko Age: 47 Profession/Job: After 26 years of dedicated service, I retired from the military on Sept. 1, 2014. I’m now responsible for new business development at GeoComm Inc. in St. Cloud. My primary mission is working with emergency responders/managers (Police, Fire and EMS at local, county, and state level) to improve pre-planning, response, and incident command through mapping and automation to reduce the time it takes to reach an incident, react to events and control the situation. Education: Normandale Community College – Associate of Arts Degree - Liberal Arts Concordia University – Bachelor’s Degree - Organizational Management and Communications Family: My beautiful wife Brenda and I have been married for 16 years. We have three amazing kids (Ashley 13, Amber 9, and Aden 7) all attending school in the Sauk Rapids-Rice school district. Political/civic experience: As a full-time military officer, I was unable to run for or hold any political office. That does not mean I lack experience. While serving in Iraq as the Civil Military Operations officer for the 34th Infantry Division, I was responsible for rebuilding Rule of Law, Economic Development, Infrastructure, Governance, Public Health and Public Education for the Southern half of Iraq. To achieve this, I managed a budget of over $134 million dollars to support a population of over 10 million people in an area of over 56,000 square miles. Why are you running for mayor? When I retired from the military, I mentioned in my parting e-mail that I owe it to my family to narrow my focus while expanding our horizons. Reaching that milestone provided me an opportunity to accomplish my goals of being a better husband, father, and member of the community. I’m proud to say I’ve transitioned to civilian life and it appeals to me. I have never felt closer to my wife and kids, and now spend the majority of my free time at our kids’ sporting events. For these reasons I believe the timing is right to utilize my 26 years of military service, experience and education by putting it to work locally. I’ve truly enjoyed going door-to-door talking with people, listening to their stories, and receiving overwhelming support for my campaign. I feel like I’m already a winner just having met so many people. Thank you! What traits do you possess that you feel makes you the best candidate for the position of mayor? I have an extensive background in leadership and management. More directly, knowing I’m not an expert in all areas, I will support the city personnel to meet their planning objectives in their functional area, while being sympathetic to the 2nd and 3rd order effects of the council’s decisions on the community. I will work hard to maintain positive community relations by keeping our city’s process and results transparent to the public. As mayor, I would simply listen to and represent the people of Sauk Rapids. Elected officials should never forget they are representatives of the people, and should focus on the needs of the greater population they represent rather than their legacy or self-interests. We are all part of the same community and share a common goal to improve the city. It’s imperative to the success of the city that we work together to achieve that goal.
What traits do you possess that you feel makes you the best candidate for the position of mayor? I am a hard-working, blue collar, solid down-to-earth family man. I run the city as I would a family. At times I sit back, listen and gather information and facts. Other times, putting my foot down and charging head-on into unchartered territory and taking a risk for the betterment of our city. I have a strong sense of duty, and sense of compassion for others. Common sense in decision-making remains strong as well as my devotion to listening to the concerns of residents. The city thrives and succeeds only when its residents thrive and succeed! I am both honored and humbled What do you feel are the biggest issues facing the city of to be the mayor of this great city.

PUBLIC NOTICES BENTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING MINUTES June 7, 2016 The Benton County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on June 7, 2016 in the Benton County Board Room in Foley, MN with Commissioners Jake Bauerly, Ed Popp, Spencer Buerkle, Warren Peschl and Jim McMahon present. Call to order by Chair Buerkle was at 9:00 a.m. followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Peschl/Popp unanimous to approve the amended agenda: add item—discuss commitment of funds to St. John’s Area School playground project. Helga Bauerly (1935 Primrose Road NE, Sauk Rapids) and Christine Friedrichs (St. John’s Area School, 215 – 7th Avenue, Foley) were present under Open Forum. Bauerly stated that they have made two funding requests of Benton County for the St. John’s Area School playground project—one for park dedication funds and one for SCORE Grant funds; to date, over $59,000 has been raised (not including any Benton County funding). Bauerly stated her understanding that there is a question as to whether or not park dedication funds collected in Gilmanton Township ($10,000) can be applied to their project, noting that many children in the township will benefit, including current students as well as community children. She also stated her understanding that the Solid Waste Advisory Committee is recommending approval of a SCORE Grant for the playground project ($13,542.75). Bauerly noted that there are many things they can do beyond the playground equipment should any of the Gilmanton Township park dedication funds be allocated to the project, i.e. benches, picnic tables, landscape materials, ball diamond repair. She thanked Board members for their support of this project. Popp/Bauerly unanimous to approve the Consent Agenda: 1) approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of May 17, 2016 as written; 2) adopt 2017 Budget Calendar and Budget Development Guidelines as presented; 3) adopt Resolution 2016-#15, allowing Central MN Housing Partnership to continue as the administrative body for implementation of the Rental Rehabilitation Deferred Loan Program in Benton County, and authorize the Chair to sign; 4) approve Application for Permit to Host Special Event on July 9, 2016 as requested by Jason Janssen dba Goodfella’s Bar & Grill; 5) approve Application for Exempt Permit for District #742 Local Education & Activities Foundation to hold a raffle on July 26, 2016 at Territory Golf Club; 6) approve 3.2 Beer License for St. Lawrence Church—July 4, 2016; 7) approve Liquor License Renewals for the year of July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017: Coyote Moon Grill & Lounge; Goodfella’s Bar & Grill; Henry’s Catering; Jack & Jim’s; Molitor’s Quarry Grill & Bar; Oak Hill Golf Club; Pines Edge Liquor; Rollie’s; Rum Shack; Rumors Bar & Grill; and Wapicada Golf Course, and authorize the Chair to sign; 8) approve 2016 SCORE Grant Applications Round II as recommended by the Solid Waste Advisory Committee; 9) approve 2016 after-the-fact Solid Waste Hauler License for Vanderpoel Disposal, and authorize the Chair to sign; 10) approve 2016 State of MN County Boat and Water Safety Grant Agreement—January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, and authorize the Chair to sign; 11) adopt Resolution 2016-#16, approving Joint Powers Agreement with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension/approve Court Data Services Subscriber Amendment, and authorize the Chair to sign; 12) approve Amendments 2 and 3 to Law Enforcement Technology Group (LETG) Contract, and authorize the Chair to sign; 13) accept Grant Award from Benton Telecommunications Foundation for Police Activities League Program; 14) adopt Resolution 2016-#17, accepting donation from the Drug Awareness Resistance Education Fund of Central Minnesota Community Foundation, and authorize the Chair to sign; and 15) authorize signatures on construction contract to Landwehr Construction for Project 005-603-029—reconstruction and expansion project of CSAH 3 in Sauk Rapids. The next item on the agenda was to discuss the commitment of park dedication funds to the St. John’s Area School playground project. Peschl reported on the discussion which took place at the Gilmanton Town Board meeting which he, along with Administrator Headley, attended; the Town Board is concerned that they weren’t approached for their agreement to commit these park dedication funds to the St. John’s Area School playground project since the incorporated City of Foley is “outside” of Gilmanton Township and, thus, would require Gilmanton Town Board consent. Peschl stated his understanding that the school/fundraising group will need to approach Gilmanton Township and request the release of the funds. Michelle Meyer, Assistant County Attorney, recommended that there be a joint discussion between the Gilmanton Town Board, the Parks Director (Headley), as well as the applicant, since that discussion, apparently, did not occur prior to the County Board’s consideration of distributing those funds. She explained that statute requires that “the county must use at least 75 percent of the funds collected…in the township or city where the collection of funds occurs…however, the township board or city council may agree to allow the county to use these funds outside of the township or city…” Meyer stated the need to obtain agreement from Gilmanton Township to expend these park dedication funds in Foley. Upon questioning by Peschl, Meyer confirmed that the fundraising group could seek funding from any township; in addition, the Parks Director can also seek funds from other townships. Popp referred to the presence of a county park board years ago, stating his belief that, if the Park Board was functioning, there would be more opportunities for funding from other townships and give applicants a “larger base” to draw from. He felt that a Park Board, comprised of county citizens/volunteers, could provide guidance and recommendations. Meyer confirmed that there is a provision for a Park Board, who could provide recommendations to the County Board on these types of items. Bauerly pointed out that “the problem is that no one knew that even though Foley is, technically, in Gilmanton Township, it’s “legally” not in it.” McMahon/Peschl unanimous to “put

Byrd noted that the Board approved this agreement at the April 12 Board meeting; however, after processing that agreement, MnDOT informed Benton County that the wrong template was used—MnDOT has since sent a new template (which has a “Jobs Reporting” requirement) which was incorporated into the bidding specs so the project is in compliance. Bauerly/Popp unanimous to adopt Resolution 2016-#18, Resolution for Agreement to Local Road Improvement Grant Program Grant Terms and Conditions, and authorize the Chair to sign. Byrd reported that Benton County Public Works has received an application from the City of Gilman to close CSAH 5 in front of the Gilman Municipal Liquor Store for a car show on June 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; per previous County Board action, the permit fee for a municipality is waived. McMahon suggested that, in the future, any municipality requests for closure of a county road due to a festival/ parade, of which the Board has approved in the past, be placed on the consent agenda. McMahon/ Peschl unanimous to approve a Special Road Use Permit for the City of Gilman for June 18 and authorize the Chair to sign. Byrd informed the Board that the bids for project 005-620-003 were opened on May 24; this is the reconstruction of CSAH 20 (4th Avenue) in Foley. He noted that the City of Foley will consider the bids on June 7 and approve the bids upon receiving word that the Benton County Board approves the bids. Byrd stated the recommendation to award a construction contract to Kuechle Underground of Kimball—Engineer’s Estimate is $898,566 and Kuechle’s bid was $902,872; Benton County’s responsibility for this project is $692,000, with funding to come from the State Aid Municipal Construction allotment. Peschl/ McMahon unanimous to award a construction contract to Kuechle Underground of Kimball for project 005-620-004, contingent upon approval from MnDOT (will start the project after Foley Fun Days). Byrd explained that, due to staffing vacancies, the Public Works Department does not have enough inspectors to handle the workload; assistance is needed to complete surveying tasks, material testing, and inspections. He stated his preference to contract with WSB & Associates for these additional services as they did the design engineering work on this project. Byrd pointed out that he is aware of several items needing re-design on the project due to some new information received regarding the adjacent “Perkins in the Pines” property (it appears this site is going to be redeveloped and there is a desire to have that entrance reopened; also eliminating the planned retaining wall). Byrd stated that the proposed contract amendment with WSB & Associates is written as a “cost not to exceed” contract; the county will be in control of services and when those services would be needed. He noted that this was not budgeted for 2016 as it was believed that the Public Works Department would have staff available; however, due to project savings from the bid being significantly lower than estimate, the costs may be able to be covered with State Aid. Bauerly/Popp unanimous to approve the contract amendment with WSB & Associates (to include services for design review/revisions, construction surveys, traffic/lighting inspection, and miscellaneous assistance as needed), and authorize the Chair to sign. Engineer’s Report: 1) CSAH 3 in Sauk Rapids currently closed (for one week) to allow the contractor to do city utility connections; project progressing nicely; 2) Governor did not sign the tax bill; there is no transportation bill this year; Byrd stated, from his perspective as Benton County Engineer, that “local roads are one of the biggest losers in this session”; there was no additional funding for the CSAH distribution—also, there is no bridge bonding bill either (Benton County has previously been able to rely on State Bridge Bonding to replace local bridges on a county road); Byrd commented “we will continue doing what we can here in our department with what we have…that doesn’t mean that everything that needs to be done will get done.” The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:27 a.m. to conduct a Human Services Board meeting. The Regular County Board meeting was reconvened at 9:34 a.m. Peggy Koscielniak, Fiscal Services Supervisor, explained that, in 2014, Congress consolidated eight Federal regulations regarding grants/grant management into one guide called the Uniform Grant Guidance (UGG); businesses were to start operating under these guidelines as of January 1, 2016. She noted that, at this time, Benton County does not have procurement policies or grant/ risk management policies in place to meet this requirement; it is requested that the Board approve operating under the old guidelines until December 31, 2016. Bauerly/McMahon unanimous to extend the use of current procurement policies as defined in OMB A-133 through December 31, 2016. Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county. Under Commissioner Concerns, Peschl stated the intent of the Department of Development Director to bring up the topic of park dedication funds during the upcoming budget discussions. Peschl/Popp unanimous to set Committees of the Whole: July 7, Economic Development Workgroup. Popp/Bauerly unanimous to adjourn at 9:52 a.m. Spencer C. Buerkle, Chair Benton County Board of Commissioners ATTEST: Montgomery Headley Benton County Administrator R-29-1B

Lutterman leaves Sauk Rapids-Rice
High school students train to save

Luke Lutterman has spent many hours on the sidelines of sporting events and with various clubs throughout Sauk Rapids-Rice High School as the Activities Director, but earlier this month, he resigned from his position to become a middle school principal in Dodge Center.
he has worked with during his time here, something he feels made his job better. “All of the coaches, advisors, administrators and board [of education] members are top notch and it has been a pleasure to work with them. I also want to thank the parents, families and members of the booster clubs, as they were fun to work with,” Lutterman said. “I would like to send a special public thank you to Tammy Weis, my activities assistant. She has been a true joy to work with these past three years.” As Lutterman begins his job as a middle school principal, he already knows he will miss all of the people he met in Sauk Rapids-Rice. “It has been an honor to serve as the activities director for Sauk Rapids-Rice,” Lutterman said. “Without a doubt, I will miss the people here. I was only here for a short time, but I feel I have made many lifelong relationships.”

But Bemboom says her class attracts a wide range of abilities. “The hardest part of the test was when you are involved in a simulated realitybased drowning. The person is frantically panicking for their life underwater and 100 percent trying to hold you down or get away from you,” Baker said. Baker described how lifeguards need to keep a clear head, use their training and use the tools provided to them to be successful. Lifeguarding for both the community

education swim lessons and Sauk Rapids Wading Pool, David and Baker are supplied a whistle, rescue tube, life preserver, first aid kits and back board. Bemboom said one of the more challenging parts of being a lifeguard doesn’t involve swimming or first aid skills at all. “For newer lifeguards, it’s sometimes hard for them to be assertive and be the ones who are instructing their peers or even those older than them to follow the rules. You’re always going to have the kids who push the rules or the parents who think they can drop their kids off at the pool by themselves,” Bemboom said. For the most part Davis and Baker haven’t had any real scares in their two years
lifeguarding. Neither of them have had to jump in the water to save someone, but each of them have used their first aid training for cuts and injuries. Regardless, the importance of the lifeguards’ duties goes without saying. “We’re an extra pair of eyes to make sure everyone is being watched. Whether it’s at swim lessons or the community pool, if a teacher or mom turns their back, it’s our job to make sure everyone is accounted for and nothing bad happens,” Davis said, who understands the seriousness of her job. “It’s important for us to keep our head moving so we don’t lose focus. Making sure our eyes are always moving and drinking water to wake ourselves up helps us maintain our concentration.”

SAUK RAPIDS — Twenty seconds. One-one-thousand. Twoone-thousand. In as little as 20 seconds a distressed swimmer can become submerged in water and start to drown. In less than four minutes that person can suffer permanent brain damage or even death. Whether at the community pool or on the beach, lifeguards are a common appearance, and rightly so, considering the United States has roughly 10 fatal unintentional drownings each day. But how often do you think about how these guardians are trained to save? “An active drowning victim can’t call for a lifeguard,” said Ann Bemboom, who teaches the physical education class Fitness through Aquatics at the Sauk Rapids Rice High School. “They usually have their head above water, are in a vertical position and are trying to kick, but can’t do so effectively. They’re not splashing or calling for help.” Fitness through Aquatics is not exclusively lifeguard training, but does offer an option for students to receive their American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification by additional independent study and testing. Students complete classwork on their own and come to school during an in-service to complete numerous in-the-pool and first-aid tests. Their certification is valid for two years and the school offers recertification as well. “The number one most important thing for a lifeguard to learn is to anticipate what might become a problem,” Bemboom said. “This helps foresee what actions could become injuries and helps them prevent those types of situations.” Seniors Madi Davis and Ethan Baker, both on the school’s swim teams, took advantage of the class and received their certification as sophomores. “It’s a pretty simple and easy way to get your lifeguard license,” Davis said. “And since I’m a swimmer it made sense because it could lead to

SAUK RAPIDS – Sauk Rapids-Rice High School (SRRHS) Activities Director Luke Lutterman has been hard at work over the past three years to improve activities around the school for all students, with noticeable results. Earlier this month, Lutterman gave his resignation at SRRHS to take a position as the middle school principal at Triton Public Schools in Dodge Center. “Long term, I feel it will be better for my family and I to serve in the role of principal,” Lutterman said. “I am a Triton graduate and my sisters and mom still live in Dodge Center, so it will be nice to be near them again.” During his time at Sauk Rapids-Rice, Lutterman has enjoyed forming relationships with students, parents, staff and the community. “Relationships will always be my number one priority. I wanted to help enhance a culture based on positive energy, hard work and excitement,” Lutterman said. “I believe we have seen great improvement in our school activities culture and that is beginning to be visible by more wins in a variety of programs. It has been fun to watch these students rally around each other, to demonstrate Storm pride and to be successful.” He has also enjoyed the opportunity to develop and enhance a structure where students have the opportunity to learn valuable life skills through activity participation. Lutterman credits the support of several staff and administrative members
lege and it all went downhill from there,” Gaffke said with a laugh. Gaffke has enjoyed her first few days in her career and likes that she can make her own treatment decisions now. But she’s not used to it. “It’s still sinking in when people call me doctor. I’m still like ‘me?’ I have to remember to introduce myself as Dr. Mikala instead of just Mikala,” Gaffke said. Gaffke enjoys the variety of the profession, but knows there are challenges too. “Each person has a unique treatment plan and I think that’s fun and gives spice to the day, but that can also pose challenges. Treatment isn’t always black and white; sometimes you have to make calls or recommendations where there’s two good ways to go and you don’t want to lead someone in the wrong direction,” Gaffke said. One of the biggest things Gaffke hopes to improve is the anxiety of coming to the dentist. “People have had negative dental experiences in the past,” Gaffke said. “I hope that I can show them how much dentistry has changed over the years and we can provide a better experience for them now. It’s hard for people to realize things are changing and it’s not so bad.” While she is early in her career, Gaffke hopes to move

up to owning a practice. “There is a potential for me to become a partner in the practice I’m working at now, but I’m not even close to thinking about that. Someday I think practice ownership could be nice,” Gaffke said. At the end of the day, Gaffke feels she is in the right career for her and she credits that to her time with Dr. Hyytinen. “I shadowed a lot with him, where he showed me it’s all about talking to your patients, taking into account what they want and feel. He also showed me you can have fun at work,” Gaffke said. “I loved the atmosphere in his office. When I started working toward being a dentist, I hoped I could work in an office like that someday. It feels great knowing I found the right career and that’s very gratifying. I’m very excited for the future because I know I’m in the right place.”

Storm athletes help with clean up in Watkins by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS – Eight Sauk Rapids-Rice Storm athletes made a difference July 14, traveling to Watkins to help clean up July 11 tornado damage. Storm softball coach Ken Karna led the effort along with girls basketball coach Megan Foley. “I just thought it would be a good idea, so I sent out an email to other coaches and Megan did a great job of pulling some of her girls into it,” Karna said. “For it being a last minute decision, we had a great group of kids.” Jason Sjogren, Brooklyn Harren, Emily Kath, Destiney Parker, Bailey Roscoe, Bailey Becker, Staci Meyer and Ella Douvier felt they did their part in making a difference. “I feel like I did something that might not have
been a big deal to me, but it was for those people in Watkins,” Meyer said. “I would definitely do it again because it was a great opportunity.” Becker feels she learned a lot from the opportunity and would help out again. “It’s important to always stick together and help one another out when they need it,” Becker said. “It’s much easier to get big projects done as a group rather than individuals. I would absolutely do this again because it was a lot of fun helping out people we didn’t even know.” PHOTO SUBMITTED
