Neskes’ cars span over 60 years by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS — Over 15,000 automobile enthusiasts will visit the Benton County Fairgrounds on Sunday, Aug. 21 to view approximately 600 entries at the St. Cloud Antique Auto Club’s Pantowners Car Show and Swap Meet. Some will be hoping for a trophy, others will be scoping new ideas and restoration techniques, a few will be searching for that speciÀc part amongst the swap meet materials and a majority will be attending simply for the thrill of seeing these works of art on display. “I love the people,” said Nancy Zupan, this year’s car show chair. “Just seeing their reaction to the different cars.” The event, which is held from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., features automobiles from as

Lake association reveals plan for future by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
RICE — Roughly 100 people gathered under the sun at the Lakeview Center Aug. 13 for the Little Rock Lake Association Annual Meeting and Picnic at Benton Beach Park. But the meeting held more than a meal and yearly Ànancials. It also included a presentation of the LRLA’s Strategic Plan. “We’re all about restoring the health of the lake and reducing the phosphorus in the lake. That’s our main goal,” said newly-inducted LRLA President Kellie Gallagher before the event. Gallagher, who has owned a cabin on the lake for about four years after purchasing her property from her parents, began the presentation with a personal connection. “I would like to preserve the lake for my kids. I would like to pass the legacy on,” Gallagher said. “I am very passionate about cleaning this lake up. I remember in August being able to jump off the dock and swim on inner-tubes and Áoaties. I can’t do that anymore. I want to change that. I want all of us to be able to do that in August.” The LRLA President went on to unveil the three main imperatives the association would be focusing on in coming years. This included phosphorus reduction in the lake but also aims at increasing membership to the association, as well as, outreach and education to both residents and agricultural organizations. At this time the Little Rock Lake Association has members from about 42 per-

cent of the homes which border either Little Rock Lake or its channel to the Mississippi River. They are looking to increase membership to 75 percent in order to appear more viable and attract increased grant and federal funding. One of the strategies to drive new members was the reformation of the group’s bylaws. In the past only residents within a Àve mile radius of the lake were allowed to participate in the group. However, the board of directors decided to open membership to anyone in the 67,650 acre watershed in Benton and Morrison Counties. “We’ve got to build a sense of community to build our membership and get the lake healthy. It’s going to take every one of us,” said LRLA Vice President Mary Kivi. “Numbers create a sense of
purpose and then the group has focus. Without those numbers, grantees will not consider us credible.” Gallagher stressed the importance of the partnerships already made with government agencies and communities over the last four years. Those partnerships resulted in over $1.1 million in state, federal or grant funding for the watershed area. The LRLA has joined with Benton County and Morrison County Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Department of Natural Resources, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, as well as, the farming and lake communities to implement best management practices in the surrounding
A life dedicated to buds and blossoms by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
RICE – Sharon Popp has always been in the garden, planting Áowers, weeding or rearranging. At her home, she has names for her different gardens. “There’s the crescent garden, the tractor garden, the gnome garden and more,” Popp said. “They’re really just simple names, but it’s how we tell them apart.” Popp and her husband, Chuck, haven’t always been at the house they live in now. In fact, they were dairy farmers for 30 years, only a few miles down the road. They milked 90 cows, as well as taking care of sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens and Little Rock Lake Assoc. a horse, in addition to growing corn, soybeans and hay. continued on pg. 2 After their farming du-
ties, Popp went to her Áower garden. “It was my stress relief after a night in the barn,” Popp said. But the Áowers she had then were nothing compared to what she has now. “I only had one garden there. Here I have seven or eight,” Popp said. When the farm was sold 12 years ago, the new owners didn’t want the Áower garden, so it came with to their current home. “They didn’t want the responsibility of taking care of it, so we brought it with. It took a couple pickup loads to get it all here,” Popp said. “Those Áowers make up the biggest percentage of what we have here now.” It’s in her free time, on the evenings and weekends,
when Popp is in her gardens. But she’s fortunate to take her hobby to work too. Popp is in her seventh season as a master gardener, working at the Munsinger Garden in St. Cloud. “I’ve always loved Áowers, so when we moved from the farm, I wanted something different to do,” Popp said. “It just made sense to become a master gardener.” Working at Munsinger is very different from working in her gardens at home. At work, she deals with Áowers and plants that do well in the shade. At home, she has mostly sun. “It really is different. I learn something new about plants and Áowers every day,” Popp said.

area. Since 2012, 60 projects have been installed ranging from lake buffer strips to cover crops to animal mortality facilities and have reduced pollutants in Little Rock Lake including suspended solids (silt, plant and animal matter), soil, phosphorus, nitrogen and fecal coliform. According to the data provided by Benton County SWCD’s intern Kelly Molitor, phosphorus alone is being reduced annually by approximately 1,951 pounds. Even more alarming is the positive impact the reduction can make on a body of water. According to Molitor, one pound of phosphorous can produce 300 to 500 pounds of algae. “The partnership with the farming community is critical. We can’t do this on our own. They’re a big part and can really help,” Gallagher said. The third strategy Gallagher identiÀed was increased communication and education about how the lake became impaired and what steps

While her preference is with Áowers, she also has to know about plants, trees, lawn and fertilizers as a master gardener. “Most people I encounter at work think that all a master gardener does is plant Áowers, when in reality, we have to know so much more and be able to answer any question someone asks,” Popp said. In the wintertime, when her gardens are frozen under the snow, Popp and Chuck travel. Often, they stop at gardens along the way, coming up with ideas. “That’s how we came up with the gnome garden,” Popp said with a laugh. “We were at a garden in Florida and Chuck saw two gnomes
sitting on a bridge over a pond and Áowers. When we came back home, we recreated it.” The more Popp learns about Áowers and plants, the more her love for her hobby grows. “I love seeing what I can grow,” Popp said. “My gardens are always a work in progress because I’m always changing them and adding things. I don’t think I’ll ever be done with my gardens.”

can be taken to improve the quality. Gallagher said forty years ago the community did not have the data and research they do today and because of the increased knowledge they can better understand the root causes. “It’s not about pointing Àngers toward who or why the lake got to be the way it is,” she said. “Now we have data and information, so it’s about how do we Àx it?” Many questions and concerns were brought up about possible solutions including the potential of a lake drawdown which could take place as early as next summer. “It’s not a guarantee as of yet,” said DNR Fisheries Area Supervisor Eric Altena. “It’s not a go and we won’t know for sure until we hear the Ànal word from FERC.” Altena explained that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is involved in the process due to the location of the Sartell Dam. The dam may require some mandatory

maintenance in the next few years, so the best scenario for all parties (if a drawdown is to happen) would be to schedule the two, along with shoreline conservation projects, at the same time. After answering multiple questions about different treatments to the lake, Altena said, “The best thing you can do, is actually try to get native plants reestablished and that’s part of what the drawdown is supposed to help do.” Gallagher reiterated, “It’s getting down to the root cause. We need to have multiple practices in place. Not one thing will be our be-all-
end-all answer.” The lake association aims to achieve and maintain a Secchi Depth Level of four feet or greater (visibility) and will use tactics such as the potential drawdown, consistent stream Áow and lake monitoring, programs circulating around aquatic invasive species and native buffer and rain garden programs. They also hope to continue to increase understanding of a phosphorus reduction treatment called Allium in order to consider the positive and negative impacts on Little Rock Lake.

A course on food and beer
MC’s Dugout hosts pairing event
ST. CLOUD – Expect the unexpected. That’s what Dave Fritz, co-owner of MC’s Dugout and Sauk Rapids resident, would say about the beer pairings at the bar. Almost monthly, the bar brings in a brewer and couples their beer with the talents of Jason Kurtz, chef at Ace Bar and Grill in St. Cloud, like they did with Castle Danger Brewery on Aug. 8. “The beer pairings are meant to be educational. People learn to make dishes they might not have known about before,” Kurtz said. “People like the opportunity to have a course meal, something that’s not too common in this area.” The pairings give people an educational opportunity, learning what foods go well with certain brews.
Fritz says he’s learned a lot about his own palate when it comes to drinking beer. “Up until two years ago, I only drank light beer. Now that I’ve learned so much, I’ve found more I like,” Fritz said. Creating courses to pair with the different beers is what Kurtz enjoys most. “I’m familiar with Castle Danger’s brews, so it was all about creating dishes that compliment the taste and smell of the beer,” Kurtz said. “I enjoy doing these because it allows me to use my creativity.” Fritz says people grab onto the unknown at the events. “They don’t usually know what’s in the dishes until Jason comes out and talks about it. They tend to like things they never expected to like,” Fritz said. “At one event, Jason made mussels and I found out how good they were. I never liked mussels before then.” Educating people is a big part of the event. Kurtz explains the dishes in a way that
people could make it at home if they wanted. The other side to putting on the beer pairing event is Ànding a quality brewer for the event. MC’s Dugout picks one brewer for each pairing, typically for four courses. “Minnesota has such a great brewery scene that we don’t have to go too far out when picking a brewer,” Kurtz said. “We work to make
it as local as possible.” MC’s Dugout plans to have beer pairings on the Àrst Monday of each month, taking a break in December for the holidays. The event lasts approximately two hours. “As long as people want to come, we will keep doing the pairings,” Fritz said. “I enjoy having them here and people always comment how much fun it is.”
es allowed Scott to restore vehicles for them. They bought the cars and parts and Scott did the work at no charge. According to the numerous cabinets Àlled with trophies at the Neske home, Scott’s work showed well. They have received multiple Best in Shows including one for the Àrst initial showing of the 1969 Indy Pace Car. Each of their vehicles have also appeared in the St. Cloud Antique Auto Club calendar. Most of the Neskes’ collection was restored by Scott, with the exception of the car they drive most often — the Cadillac. The Cadillac and the 1959 Chevrolet are particularly special to the Neskes because they represent the years
to two graduated from high school. “That one is Barb’s car,” said Phil, of the Caddy. “We bought it at an estate sale in South Dakota. A WWII vet had died and the car hadn’t been used in Àve years. It had been a parade car and it still has the Áag mounts. We haven’t restored it. We replaced the top and the upholstery, but everything else still looks good. I’ve actually never seen one like it before because it has bucket seats.” The convertible Cadillac’s Firemist Metallic lacquer paint is showing wear from sunshine and elements, but the specially-ordered whitewall tires and trailer hitch tell a story of a car worth more than a trophy to
the couple. “We take that one on a lot of car runs,” Phil said. “The club has a lot of functions where we’ll just go for a drive. In the fall and spring we’ll have one-day drives and members put on a couple three-day weekends, too.” The Neskes said the road trips can attract up to 50 cars and many times, if it is a longer weekend drive, the group will visit a car enthusiast attraction on Saturday. “You have a few couples who Ànd the hotel, plan the road trip and pick the place we are going to go. We helped organize them for about eight years,” Phil said. So even if the Neskes can’t decide on a make and model favorite, they do know
why they love being a part of the car collector scene. “We enjoy the car runs, driving the cars and the comradery with all the members,” Barb said. “We all get along and have a good time.” The Neskes won’t be showing any of their vehicles at this year’s Pantowners Car Show, but not because their passions have faded. “We’ve entered our cars in the past, but there’s limited amount of space so we don’t anymore,” Phil said. “We like to leave it for people who are new or for those who enter from other places.”

Approve the Agenda Motion: Moved by Councilperson Hunstiger and seconded by Councilperson Sauer to approve the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. Regular Agenda A. 2017 Budget Workshop Jack Kahlhamer reviewed the debt service funds budget. General Fund Budget Kahlhamer noted that most of the information provided in the general fund spreadsheets provides two options, with one option being hiring no additional stafÀng and another option including the additional stafÀng as requested by the Police Chief, Public Works Director, and Utilities Director. Kahlhamer reviewed the levy and tax rate projections with or without additional employees through 2019. Without additional Local Government Aid (LGA), the levy is projected to increase 8.9% in 2017. Kahlhamer discussed the detailed request for RSVP and Whitney Senior Center. Kahlhamer said that the Council has until September 30th to set the preliminary levy, but that it typically sets the Preliminary Levy at the Àrst meeting in September. He noted that the levy may be lowered after the Preliminary Levy is set, but that it cannot be increased after September 30th. Kahlhamer said that another budget workshop would likely take place sometime in August or the beginning of September where he is hoping to have more information regarding whether or not the City would be getting any additional LGA from the Special Session. Olson provided a brief update on the status of the potential Field House project. He said that he talked to the Architect earlier today and it sounds like the logical next step will be for the Architect to make a presentation for the Council sometime in the coming months.

A Storm is brewing
Sauk Rapids-Rice sports teams begin practice by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
Balls were passed, kicked and bumped Monday morning as Storm athletes gathered for the Àrst practice of the season. Coaches led drills and worked with students on conditioning and preparing for the fast-approaching games and meets. The football, boys and girls soccer, cross country, volleyball and girls swim and dive teams practiced at
the high school, showing their potential to the coaches. “This is a special time of year. There was a lot of energy and excitement from the coaches as they started practices today,” said NaDean Schroeder, Sauk RapidsRice High School Activities Director. “We are looking forward to a great year representing our community in a Àrst class manner both in and out of competition.”
Cyclones season ends by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
The Sauk Rapids Cyclones fought hard against two of the toughest teams in the state – the St. Cloud Beaudreau’s and the Cold Spring Springers – throughout the season. The Cyclones went head-to-head against St. Cloud Aug. 12, but fell in a 6-2 loss. “Our goal is always the state tournament, but we came up a bit short. We had a challenge facing the teams we did,” said Dan Lynch, head coach for the team. “Our guys played hard all season and their love of the game was evident. I know they are already looking forward to next year’s season.”
Brooke Torvik smiles as she bumps a volleyball back toward her partner during the Àrst practice Monday.

Dakota Johnson, Ian Galligan and Nick Kosloske run laps around the high school Monday during practice, closely followed by Sam Ringger and Ryan Sweeney.
Throughout the game, the Cyclones left several runners on base, including bases loaded in the ninth inning. Mitch Loegering and Tyler Long scored the two runs, both off of walks. Loegering went 3-4 and Long went 2-5. Schlangen went 1-4 with a walk and Joel Haller went 1-3 with two walks. Lucas Bentrud earned two walks in the game and Tyler Bjork and Bryce Gapinski each earned a walk. On defense, Brett DeGagne pitched Àve innings, where he gave up 10 hits, six runs and six walks, with two strikeouts. Jeff Hille threw three innings of relief, giving up two hits and recording Àve strikeouts.

Sauk Rapids and St. Stephen. The department reciprocates the participation and travels to Bowlus, Royalton and Foley to compete in their waterball events each year. Chief Janski said the waterball fights not only build moral within his department, but also helps to build relations between Rice and other departments as well. He compared the competition to that of a friendly softball game. And he should know. Coming from a family of fireman, Janski has been attending waterball fights since he was young. “One memory that specifically sticks out are the trips we’d make to Foley. It seemed like whenever we were there, the city had severe weather or storms hit. So we got to hang out in their fire department which as a kid was pretty cool.”

The team who sprays their ball across its threshold first is deemed victorious. The departments will be competing for a traveling fireman’s ax trophy in a double elimination, best two out of three competition. Rice will be defending its title after bringing the trophy home from Foley in 2015. “The competition is great for team-building. It takes teamwork to get it done. Foley is tough competition, but I’m fairly confident we can keep the ax at home,” said Fire Chief Scott Janski. Rice will have about six other departments participate from surrounding areas including cities such as Bowlus, Foley, Holdingford, Sartell,
