Plans continue for the
nearing reconstruction of
Co. Rd. 15 from its Hwy.
10 intersection northerly to
211th Street.
Big Lake Twp. supervi-
sors heard a short report on
the work at their regular
meeting Wednesday. It is
anticipated the project will
begin sometime after July
4.
Stakes noting utilities
easements are going in, it
was reported.
County commissioners
this week awarded con-
tracts for the work. No
other details, however,
were reported.
Though the project will
be significant in size, it is
expected it will go well, if
work on the current Co.
Rd. 11 renovation is any
indicator, the supervisors
said. That is nearing a re-
opening.
Wednesdays meeting
was a quiet one - Acting
Chairman Norm Leslie
gavelled the session to a
close after just 31 minutes.
(Chairman Bob Hofer and
Supervisor Larry Alfords
were not in attendance.)
The board approved a
quote of $2,455 to Steves
Elk River Nursery to do
some landscape cleanup at
the Bailey Station
Cemetery.

Big Lake High School,
named 13th best high
school in the state of
Minnesota, graduated 200
students in their 97th annu-
al commencement ceremo-
ny Friday.
The band, conducted by
Heidi R. Olson, struck up
the chords of Elgars
Fanfare and Processional
as the graduates entered
the gymnasium in pairs or
alone. Everyone stood for
their rendition of the Star
Spangled Banner.
Connor Johnson took
the stage for the students to
welcome everyone to the
occasion.
If there is one word
which describes this night,
its moist, he said. A lot
has gone into tonight and I
would like to thank all the
people involved in making
this night possible.
I never thought gradu-
ating would mean that
much when I was younger
because it was expected
and I looked past it,
Johnson said. But as I
stand here before all my
peers and their families, I
realize that this is a tremen-
dous moment, one that
should be looked forward
to and celebrated.
Johnson thanked his
teachers, including Ms.
Bowen and Ms. Curto.
Chemistry has been a
blast these last two years
and I have learned to
appreciate English more,
he said.
Johnson thanked his
family and friends and
especially his mom.
All of our paths lead in
different directions after
tonight, whether it be the
military, college, or not,
but just remember we all
began our journey in the
same place, he said.
Morgan Turk was up
next, thanking everyone
for coming and feeling a
little nervous to be the one
making a speech.
Graduation is one of
those moments when
nobody knows whether to
be crying or smiling, and
Im sure a lot of you moms

County updated on marijuana law
By Ken Francis
Staff Writer
Minnesota lawmakers
wrapped up the 2014 leg-
islative session on time this
year.
In her legislative report
to the county board
Tuesday, Sherburne
County Planner Amanda
Larson with Health &
Human Services (HHS)
said having a surplus this
time around helped. And
with 2014 being an elec-
tion year, it gave lawmak-
ers an incentive to get
things done.
Larson said there were
about 2,800 bills intro-
duced, with 160 signed into
law.
The Supplemental
Budget Bill passed with
$283 million in new spend-
ing. Of that amount, HHS
got the biggest chunk with
$103.9 million, followed
by $54 million for educa-
tion and $35 million for the
judiciary and public safety.
Larson said two of the
biggest and most con-
tentious issues were E-cig-
arettes and medical mari-
juana.
Both the House and
Senate banned the sale and
possession of E-cigarettes
to youth under 18 and
required the product to be
sold behind the counter
with other tobacco prod-
ucts, she told the board.
Larson said there was
strong support in the
Senate and some support in
the House to ban E-ciga-
rette use under the Clean
Indoor Air Act, which
would have also banned it
in business establishments.
But after much debate,
the conference committee
compromised by banning
the product in any build-
ings owned or operated by
government entities or
schools, daycares, health-
care facilities and clinics.
Larson said it is antici-
pated the legislature will
pursue a more aggressive
ban next session.
Near the end of the ses-
sion, lawmakers finally
passed legislation allowing
the use of refined oil from
marijuana for medical use.
We became the 22nd
state to allow medical mar-
ijuana and it is by far the
most restricted, said
Larson.
The Dept. of Health will
oversee the manufacture of
the drug in two sites, with a
distribution center set up in
each of the states eight
congressional districts.
Medical marijuana will be
available in oil or pill form
only.

Dana Brockopp has

for the past five years.
All-Night Grad Party - A Knight to Remember
Submitted Story
As the graduation caps
flew into the air Friday
night, Big Lakes Class of
2014 began to celebrate.
After years and years of
hard work, more than
2,000 days of classes, two
graduation ceremony
rehearsals, and one real
graduation, the seniors
were finally able to revel
in their successes.
Not long after they shed
their caps and gowns, the
vast majority spent a mag-
ical and memorable night
at the Big Lake All-Night
Grad Party, where they
celebrated until the sun
came up the next morning.
The All-Night Grad
Party provides the graduat-
ing seniors with a safe,
secure, and chemical-free
environment in which
more than 75% of graduat-
ing seniors spend their
graduation night together,
making memories that will
last a lifetime.
The All-Night Grad
Party marks what is likely
the last time the majority
of the class will all be
together.
As Reid Ramsdell said,
The all night grad party
was one of the memories I
will cherish forever with
the people I love.
This years party began
immediately following the
graduation ceremony
Friday and provided the
students with a wide vari-
ety of entertainment, food
options, and opportunities
to socialize until 5 a.m.
This years theme was A
Knight to Remember and
the seniors were wowed as
they entered a middle
school that had been trans-
formed into a medieval
landscape of castles,
knights, dungeons, and a
wide variety of other
themed decorations.
Awesome, amazing,
and unbelievable were
common words heard as
the graduates made their
way into the middle school
and many noted that it was
not even recognizable as
the middle school.
The seniors then found
plenty to keep them busy
throughout the night, and
ended the evening with a
prize giveaway that left
every student with lots of
prizes to carry home. A
number of students
described the event as,
one of the best nights of
my life.
This year also marked
the fifth and final year that
the All-Night Grad Party
was planned and organized
by Dana Brockopp, the
chair of the planning com-
mittee, who has been inti-
mately involved in all
aspects of the party plan-
ning on a year-round basis.
We want the communi-
ty to know how much
effort Dana has poured into
this event over these past
five years, and we want to
thank Dana for her tireless
efforts in making this a
magical and safe night for
our graduating seniors.
Danas efforts have created
lifetime memories for
more than 1,000 Big Lake
graduates, noted a plan-
ning committee member.
The All-Night Grad
Party is funded and sup-
ported 100% through the
efforts of volunteers,
donors within the commu-
nity, and fundraising activ-
ities.
This party simply would
not happen without the
dedication, time, efforts,
commitment, and talents of
the many volunteers who
contribute hours and hours
of time to make it all come
together, and the commit-
tee would like to take this
opportunity to extend a
tremendous thank you to
all of our volunteers.
In particular, the com-
mittee would like to thank
Boone Chiropractic,
HeartWorks Therapeutic
Massage, and Advanced
Styling for donating their
time and their talent again
this year.
This party also would
not be possible without the
generous donations and
support from our commu-
nity, including some of our
largest supporters: Big
Lake School District,
Knights of Columbus,
Zimmerman Fire Dept,
KleinBank, Big Lake
American Legion, Elk
River American Legion,
and BNSF Railway.
The planning process is
nearly a year-round event,
with the kick-off for each
year beginning early in the
fall. The committee is
always looking for individ-
uals willing to share their
time and talents in a variety
of areas.
If creativity is your
thing, and you are able to
see a project through to
completion, there is a place
for you on the decorating
subcommittee.
If your talents lie in proj-
ect management, fundrais-
ing, communications, mul-
timedia, event planning, or
food preparation, we
would love to have you
share your skills with the
committee and the graduat-
ing seniors. If you
dont feel particularly
skilled or talented in any of
these areas, the committee
has a place for you as well.
As a committee member
stated, I have met and got-
ten to know some great
people who I probably oth-
erwise would never have
met. Its a lot of work, but
its a lot of fun too. Making
this event come to fruition
does require time, effort,
and commitment to seeing
projects through; however,
when you see the looks on
the graduates faces, see
them having so much fun
together, and hear the
many comments through-
out the night about how
amazed they are, it makes
it all worthwhile.
Meeting dates are pro-
vided in the high school
newsletter. Information can
also be found at
biglakegradparty.com, and

Facebook page.

and dads out there are
doing a weird combination
of both right now, she
said.
The confusion is merit-
ed. Senior year has been a
series of lasts. Our last first
day of school, last home-
coming, last football
game, last prom, even our
last Monday at school was
cherished even though we
have been complaining
about getting up on
Mondays for at least four
years now, Turk said.
Our oldest and closest
friends are part of this
graduating class and we
will be leaving these peo-
ple and this town to pursue
our dreams, she said.
The past 18 years have
led to this moment right
now and that causes some
unavoidable sentimentali-
ty.
But the past 18 years
have prepared the students
to move on with their
lives, to venture out into
the world to do the things
they have always wanted
to do and are passionate
about, Turk said.
We get to be the people
we have always wanted to
be and I hope every single
member of our class takes
advantage of that opportu-
nity, she said.
Lessons Learned
Its ok if we didnt get
it exactly right in high
school, she said. In fact,
its more than ok because
the lessons we have
learned here will serve us
well. It is these lessons that
have prepared us to go
make a difference in the
world..
Turk urged her peers to
find a life of service and
not just use their talents for
personal fulfillment.
Serve your family.
Serve your friends. Serve
every human being who
crosses your path because
this is the way to happi-
ness, she said. Not only
must we serve, we must be
grateful to those who have
served us. We have many
people to thank today for
getting us here. Morgan
thanked the teachers and
staff and she thanked the
parents for their love, sup-
port and sacrifices made
along the way.
You Made It
But most of all Class of
2014, we need to thank
ourselves. You are sitting
here in your cap and gown
today because you made
the right decisions, she
said. You made it though
all the hard and stressful
days. You passed your
classes. You never gave
up.
Together we have dis-
covered who we are as a
class and who we are as
individuals, she said.
What we found out is
each one of us is a brain,
an athlete, a skater, a musi-
cian and a techie and each
one of us has a place in this
world.
The high school choir
sang their farewell song,
For Good, from the
Broadway musical
Wicked, directed by Mary
Ebanks. The high school
band played Pachabels
Canon.
Board of Education
Chair Tim Hayes urged the
students to consider how
they want to influence the
affairs of the world.

County looking at probation system
J. Hancuch
Sherburne County
Probation Director
By Ken Francis
Staff Writer
Sherburne County is in
the process of evaluating
how its probation depart-
ment operates.
At a workshop meeting
with the county board last
week, Sherburne County
Probation Director J
Hancuch presented a com-
parison between how a
Community Corrections
Act (CCA) system might
be beneficial over a County
Probation Officer (CPO)
system, which Sherburne
County currently has.
A CPO supervises all
juvenile and adult misde-
meanor offenders residing
in the county. Adult felons
are supervised by the Dept.
of Corrections (DOC).
Under a CCA, all juve-
nile and adult offenders,
even felons, are supervised
by the county probation
department.
Hancuch worked at
Anoka County for 18 years
where a CCA system was
in place.
In my experience its
better to have one depart-
ment supervise all the
offenders, he says. It
provides local control and
provides continuity of
services.
Hancuch says the county
already has all the pro-
grams in place for offend-
ers. And the probation
department is already han-
dling adult felons prior to
sentencing.
If someone is arrested
for a felony, my office
does the bail evaluation
and pretrial drug and alco-
hol testing if its court
ordered. We put together a
formal pretrial conditional
release supervision pro-
gram to supervise these
adults prior to their sen-
tence, he says. So we
do everything with the
adult felons up until the
time theyre actually sen-
tenced by the court. Once
theyre found guilty then
theyre supervised by the
state.
If the county switched to
a CCA system, adult
felons would be super-
vised by the county proba-
tion department.
We have all the pro-
grams and services in
place already, like adult
cognitive restructuring
programs, the adult
Driving With Care Level 2
program and all the drug
testing in-house, says
Hancuch. We would just
plug these people in.
The county would also
have a more stable funding
stream with a CCA, says
Hancuch. Currently, the
county depends on state
reimbursements for 50%
of probation officers
salaries and benefits. But
the state hasnt paid the
full 50% since 1996. Last
year, the county received
just 29%, its lowest reim-
bursement to date.
Under a CCA, the coun-
ty would receive funding
from the state that follows
a specific formula based
on population and percent-
age of felony case filings,
juvenile case filings, gross
misdemeanor filings and
convicted felony offenders
not sentenced to prison.
That formula is also
adjusted by the countys
net tax capacity and
reviewed every three
years.
Over the past 12 years,
CPO reimbursement has
decreased by 14.97%,
says Hancuch. But CCA
funding increased by 5%
over the last 12 years.
And funding for a CCA
is less likely to be cut in
the future. By switching to
a CCA, Sherburne County
would join Hennepin,
Ramsey, Anoka, Dakota,
Stearns and 27 other coun-
ties.
Well have a little more
clout, says Hancuch.
Should the county
switch to a CCA, the pro-
bation department would
take on supervision of 560
more inmates (already
residing in the county) and
five or six new staff. All

TO THE EDITOR:
Early Wednesday morn-
ing May 28, my friend and
I were walking around the
lakes as we often do (usu-
ally there are three of us).
We were walking against
traffic, heading north, and
had just past the Catholic
Church. A vehicle
approached us and pulled
over.
The driver asked if we
were the walkers who walk
all year. We said we were.
He reached into his back-
seat, and retrieved three
new reflective safety vests.
He handed them to us, say-
ing he had wanted to do
this for a LONG TIME.
We thanked him as he
wished us a Merry
Christmas and drove
away.
I would like to THANK
YOU again sir for your
kind gesture. We may not
wear the vests now, but I
can assure you that we will
wear them in poor weather
and as the morning light
begins to fad.

I would like to thank

the many who came to
honor those who have past.
So, a big thank you

also held in Lakeside Park
every Wednesday from 3-7
p.m. There is no parking
fee to attend these activi-
ties.
Thanks to those
who inspire us
Im sure everyone has
memories of people who
have inspired them over
the years.
As children and
teenagers, we are still very
impressionable - learning
about the world and who
we really are.
When I think back to my
childhood and who made a
big impression in my life, I
think one of the first was
one of my teachers, Sister
Suzanne.
It was September, 1969.
My classmates and I
were getting ready to begin
the school year as eighth-
graders at St. Marys
Grammar School in Jersey
City.
My brother, George, had
gone through eighth grade
two years earlier. My sis-
ter, Barbara graduated a
year before me.
If I remember correctly,
they both had Sister Joan
as their eighth grade
teacher. She was also the
school principal.
I dont remember either
of them talking about
Sister Joan much. But Id
heard she was pretty strict,
and I wasnt looking for-
ward to spending the
school year in fear.
But when my classmates
and I arrived for school on
the first day as eighth
graders, we didnt recog-
nize the person who stood
at the front of the class to
greet us.
She was much younger
than any teacher (or
Catholic Nun) we had seen
before. She wasnt wear-
ing the habit most nuns
wore.
And she was smiling.
I remember thinking that
she wasnt really a teacher,
but someone standing in as
a substitute while Sister
Joan, the principal, made
her rounds to the other
classrooms on the first day
of school.
But she was our teacher.
And as it turned out, she
would be one of the most
inspirational people any of
us had met before.
We found out she was
from Texas and that we
were her very first class.
She never mentioned her
age, but she couldnt have
been much older than a
college student.
But it wasnt just her
youth that set her apart
from all the other teachers
wed had before.
It was her enthusiasm
for teaching. She loved
finding ways to make
learning fun and interest-
ing.
She was interested in us
as individuals. And she
didnt treat us like chil-
dren, but young men and
women.
I remember her asking
us about our favorite
things - music, art, sports
and other activities.
Although we had to
learn all the subjects
everyone else did - math,
English, history, and sci-
ence, her method of teach-
ing was very different. It
wasnt just read the book,
do the homework and take
a test.
She liked to play music
in class and talk about the
lyrics.
Other teachers had
played records in class
before. But it was usually
classical music, or since it
was a catholic school,
hymns.
But I remember Sister
Suzanne played music
from our generation - Both
Sides Now by Judy
Collins, Aquarius by the
Fifth Dimension and
Bridge Over Troubled
Waters by Simon and
Garfunkel.
We probably learned as
much about poetry, gram-
mar, vocabulary and phi-
losophy from those songs
than we did in any other
English class. She even
asked us to write our own
lyrics to a song.
But it wasnt just music.
One of the most memo-
rable projects we did was
write a school newspaper.
We formed groups of three
or four students and picked
one subject we all enjoyed.
One group focused on
sports. Another group
picked music, or movies,
or fashion or television.
The more artistic kids
drew the cover and created
make-believe ads to fill in
some space on the pages
and make it look just like a
newspaper.
Each of us was also
asked to write a short arti-
cle about anything we
wanted. That was to make
sure everyone contributed.
It also made each of us
careful to check our own
spelling, grammar and
punctuation, because the
paper was not just an
assignment. Copies were
being given to every stu-
dent in all the other class-
es, too.
I still remember working
with my old classmates on
that newspaper, which we
called The Newscaster. I
wrote my article about the
New York Mets who had
just won the World Series
in September, 1969.
I wish I still had a copy
of that paper to look
through now. But back
then I didnt realize how
important a time it was in
my life.
I do now.

After lengthy discus-
sions, the legislature decid-
ed chronic pain and Post-
Traumatic Stress Disorder
will not qualify, although
the health commissioner
has the authority to add
more medical conditions to
the eligibility list in the
future.
The law limits eligibility
to the following condi-
tions:
* Cancer associated with
sever or chronic pain, nau-
sea or severe vomiting, or
severe wasting;
*Glaucoma;
*HIV/AIDS;
*ALS (Lou Gehrigs
Syndrome);
*Seizure-inducing epile-
psy;
*Severe and persistent
muscle spasms from
Multiple Sclerosis;
*Chrons Disease;
*Terminal illness with a
life expectancy of less than
a year or that causes sever
pain, sever vomiting or
wasting.
To obtain the drug,
patients will need to be cer-
tified by a doctor, physi-
cian assistant or advanced
practice nurse. A patient
registry will be created at
the Dept. of Health for the
therapeutic use of the drug.
It is estimated medical
marijuana will serve about
500 people in Minnesota.
Larson said as part of the
bill, penalties for sale or
distribution of the drug
have increased. Anyone
found guilty of transferring
medical marijuana to any-
one who is not a registered
patient could be fined up to
$3,000 instead of the cur-
rent $200/misdemeanor
penalty.
Land Sale
After a brief public hear-
ing without public com-
ment, the board, acting as
he Sherburne County
Housing and
Redevelopment Authority,
approved the sale of two
lots in the Evergreen Park
Development in Becker.
The land, which is the
former site of the
Sherburne County History
Center, was sold to
Imperial Development
Company LLC for
$135,000 for operation of a
general store.
Sherburne County
Assessor Dan Weber said
the building will cover
between 9,100 and 9,800
square feet and generate
approximately $22,000 in
taxes.
Co. Rd. 15 Bids
The board awarded the
contract to reconstruct a
section of Co. Rd. 15 near
211th Ave. to Hardrives at
$2,315,244.59.
Other bidders were
Knife River at
$2,357,719.97 and North
Valley Inc. at
$2,715,027.75.
Other Business
In other action the
board:
*Approved the Federal
Boating Safety Supple-
mental Equipment Grant
in the amount of $5,750 to
be used to fund additional
patrol shifts;
*Approved an application
for the Office of Justice
Recidivism Reduc-tion
Grant, which seeks to
improve public safety by
strengthening collabora-
tion between criminal jus-
tice and social services for
young adults. The two-
year grant ranges from
$100,000 to $300,000 with
no county match required;
*Approved a juvenile jus-
tice grant application for
$60,000 to support truancy
intervention;
*Approved a payment of
$8,094 to Sherburne Soil
& Water from a block
grant received by the coun-
ty from the state.

Obituary
Gramsey, Beverly Jean
Beverly Jean Gramsey, 86
Oviedo, FL (former resi-
dent of Titusville, Florida
and Big Lake) was called
home to our Lord and
Savior April 9, 2014 peace-
fully in her sleep at Life
Care Center of Orlando,
FL.
A Celebration of
Beverlys life will be
Saturday, June 21, 2014 at
11 a.m. at Saron Lutheran
Church, 311 Lake Street
South, Big Lake, MN.
Pastor Kyle Sidlo will offi-
ciate. Private interment
will be at Big Lake
Cemetery. Funeral arrange-
ments are with the
Peterson-Grimsmo Chapel
of Monticello.
Beverly was born January
14, 1928 in St. Paul, to
Roger and Olga Platten.
Out
of
Time
Beverlys early years were
spent in St. Paul with her
parents and brother Marvin
(Buzz) Platten. At the age
of 20, she married Robert
Gustav Anderson. Together
they had three children,
Robert Lee, Bonnie Jean,
and Karen Faith. The cou-
ple divorced in 1951.
In 1955, Beverly met and
married the love of her life,
Leo Ralph Gramsey. They
married on October 1, 1955
at Saron Lutheran Church
in Big Lake, MN. Born to
this union were LuAnn
Bernice, Judy Anna, Randy
Leo and Anna Mae. The
family lived on a farm in
Big Lake for many years.
Although Beverly worked
at various jobs in her
younger years, upon set-
tling in Big Lake, she
worked as a bookkeeper
until retirement at United
Power Association of Elk
River (now known as Great
River Energy). Upon
retirement as a couple, they
moved to Florida in the
1990s.
Leo passed away in
Florida in 2002, and is
interred at Big Lake
Cemetery, off Eagle Lake
Road in Big Lake.
Beverly was active at
Saron Lutheran Church in

217 Sandberg Road
MONTICELLO, MN
763-314-0322
Big Lake and later at her
church in Florida, Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church
in Titusville for many years.
In her spare time, she was
very adept at needlepoint
and was very accomplished
in Hardanger, crochet and
other works you could very
well call artistic. She loved
life and a good laugh. Her
other talent was in baking
even though shed attest
that she wasnt a good cook.
But, everyone came to love
her Apple Bars and Flat
Bread.
She loved to travel to far-
away lands by cruise ship
with family and friends.
But her most enjoyable
travels were to visit her
family. They lived across
the US in her home state of
Minnesota, Texas,
Washington, Florida,
Arizona and Hawaii.
Her faith in God was
strong and endured
throughout the years. She
would always say Trust in
the Lord - He will take care
of you.
Beverly is survived by her
children Robert (Kathy)
Gramsey of MN, LuAnn
(Wayne) Arnold of MN,
Judy (Tim) Olson of FL,
Randy (Joyce) Gramsey of
MN, and Anna (Greg)
Ashleson of AZ; 10 grand-
children; 4 great grandchil-
dren; brother Marvin
(Marion) Platten; and
numerous nieces, nephews,
cousins from across the
world. She was preceded in
death by her husband, Leo
Ralph; daughter Karen
Faith, daughter Bonnie
Jean; and her parents Roger
and Olga (Terland) Platten.
probation officers, and
Hancuch, are currently
employees of the courts.
They would become coun-
ty employees.
The county would have
some up-front costs, like
computers, furniture and
work space for the new
staff. It also requires the
establishment of a commu-
nity corrections advisory
board and an adult diver-
sion program.
Hancuch says all four
sitting judges and Sheriff
Joel Brott support the
change.
The continuity, the
communication, coordina-
tion collaboration would
be enhanced, he says.
And it enhances public
safety because we have
closer relationships with
local law enforcement.
Information on the CCA
system is currently being
reviewed by the county
attorneys office.

A&W fades away
in training blaze
PHOTOGRAPHERBRIANWHEELER was
passing by on Hwy. 10 when he saw the training
burn and stopped to capture this shot of a rain-
bow in the smoke.
INAMATTEROFMINUTES the old A&W building was razed to the
ground as flames took hold. (Photo by BLPD Chief Joel Scharf)
Jennifer Edwards
Staff Writer
The old A&W building
which once stood at the
corner of Lakeshore Drive
and Hwy. 10 is gone forev-
er, burned up in a training
exercise by the Big Lake
Fire Dept. Monday
evening.
The old-fashioned, old-
time drive-in, which once
served root beer floats and
hosted regular Cruise
Nights, had fallen into dis-
repair and had not been
used for the past several
years. It was deemed to be
a safety hazard.
I used to go there often
when I was a kid, said
City Council Member and
Firefighter Nick Christenson
of Bobs Towing, recalling
hamburger baskets and
other tasty treats.
The A& W Franchise
first owners was Albert &
Edna Monson, then Bob
and Patti McDowall took
over. Bob is now the Mc
partner in McPetes Sports
Bar and Lanes. The old
A&W changed hands
again and was owned by
Big Laker Wayne Laminen
for a while. These days the
owner is Miro Medved.
It does not seem likely
that a new business will be
started on the site anytime
soon, with the asking price
of the lot set at over $1 mil-
lion, says City of Big Lake
Finance Director and inter-
im City Administrator
Jessica Green.
Now the safety hazard of
the tumble-down old build-
ing has been removed, the
city will likely maintain
the lot in exchange for
overflow parking for this
summers concerts in the
Music In The Park series.
Meanwhile, the Big
Lake Fire Dept. which
hired five new volunteer
firefighters this summer, is
working hard to get their
new members up to speed.
A small crowd showed
up to watch the training
burn. One of the neighbors
hung out a sign that said,
We love our BLFD.
That was nice, said
Firefighter Tricia Skodje,
the first female firefighter
to volunteer with the
department. It made you
feel warm and good
inside.
Grads Continued From Page 2__________________________________
Remember you are
somebody, he said. Help
others and they will begin
to help you. Thats called
networking. Never doubt a
small group of committed
people can change the
world. That may be the
only thing that ever did.
Hayes asked the stu-
dents to consider D Day,
the day during WWII
when the Allied forces
landed in Normandy to
take back territory taken
over by the Germans and
how many men died in
their determination to
make the attempt.
Some gave all, he
said. Be committed. You
are somebody, You can do
thrings. Do more and
influence the affairs of the
world. he said.
Principal Robert
Dockendorf introduced
National Merit
Scholarship students John
Wallace and Troy Berg.
Board Member Mark
Hedstrom recognized the
top honor students.
Principal Dockendorf
announced the scholarship
winners.
Chair Hayes handed out
the diplomas and one by
one, the students crossed
the stage to shake his hand
and accept their award.
The one exception was
Cassie Jahn. Board
Member Tom Pietrzak
stepped up to present her
diploma.
The students resumed
their seats and were then
asked to move their tassels
from one side of their caps
to the other as Principal
Dockendorf presented the
Class of 2014.
It was over, as students
exited to the strains of
Ployhars Fanfare and
Recessional. For many, it
was on to the all-night grad
party at Big Lake Middle
School.
A small but determined
group of parents, led by
Dana Brokopp for the past
five years, had put together
a party with a theme, A
Knight to Remember. For
the students and their fam-
ilies, it was indeed a mem-
ory which will linger for
the rest of their lives.

Cemetery Boardmember
John Norgren asked for the
work to be done. It will
consist of tearing out some
scraggly shrubs and plac-
ing down a weed barrier,
along with new rocks, to
dress up the landscape.
We get a lot of positive
comments on the ceme-
tery, said Norgren. We
want to keep it looking
good.
The board approved a
request by Jim Lindquist,
homeowner on 46th Street
in the Camp Cozy plat for
use of an easement area so
he can install a new septic
system. His system has
recently failed, and he
needed the easement space
to get contractor vehicles
in to do the work. That will
go on to the county.
The board also approved
a request by Todd
Anderson for an interium
use permit for a contrac-
tors yard for his asphalt
paving business in the for-
mer St. Josephs
Equipment site east of the
Hwy. 10 viaduct.
Anderson told the board
about a dozen contractor
vehicles would be stored
there, but behind tree lines
so as not to be seen from
Hwy. 10. Also, no mainte-
nance work would be done
on them at the site.
County planners public
hearing on that issue will
be June 19 at 6:30 p.m.
Verizon officials will be
at the township hall to view
the site for their proposed
transmitting tower. The
tower is planned for con-
struction on part of the new
12-acre park space recently
purchased - lying adjacent
to the town hall and
fronting on Co. Rd. 5.
The project has not been
yet ordered in.
Treasurer Ken Warneke
said the expensive road
maintenance of the past
winter will likely put a
damper on the amount of
summertime seal coating
of township roads.
Well evaluate the roads
situation, he said. We
could defer (some work)
for a year, due to the winter
maintenance costs.
Meanwhile, in the back-
room at the township hall -
the kitchen, remodeling
work continues. New cabi-
nets are in and space for a
new floor heat run is estab-
lished. No timetable was
set for completion of the
work.
The township hall
remains a popular place for
private parties and gather-
ings.

Mosquito Control
Public Works Director
Mike Goebel said due to
the extreme population of
mosquitos this year, there
has been a lot of conversa-
tion in regards to mosquito
control in the City of Big
Lake. Goebel said he put
some information together
for council that will hope-
fully guide them in their
mosquito control decision
and conversations.
Goebel presented esti-
mated price quotes for
treating mosquitos in their
larva phase and adult
phase.
For adult control, one
option is adulticiding in
residential areas up to 15
community-wide treat-
ments up to 75 miles of
streets at $1,875 per treat-
ment with Biomist 4+4 or
synthetic pyrethroid insec-
ticide.
Total cost for the year
would be $28,125.
A second option is eight
bi-weekly community-
wide treatments up to 75
miles of streets at $2,250,
with Biomist 4+4 or syn-
thetic pyrethroid insecti-
cide.
Total cost per year
would be $18,000.
Goebel said the most
effective plan is the week-
ly program, but he says the
city should see a reduction
in mosquito population in
bi-weekly option also.
If the bi-weekly option
is chosen, Goebel suggest-
ed the first few weeks be
back-to-back treatments to
get ahead of the popula-
tion.
For larval control,
Goebel says treatment of
standing/stagnant water
with briquettes will kill the
mosquito's larva before
they become flying adults.
This is a one time treat-
ment of 150 briquettes per
site. The cost is $25 per
site with an estimation of
50 sites in Big Lake.
Total cost per year
would be $1,250.
Goebel said for the com-
plete treatment, he can see
the city paying approxi-
mately $30,000 per year
for mosquito control.

June is National
Safety Month
Jennifer Edwards
Staff Writer
June is National Safety
Month and Sherburne
County Health and Human
Services is sponsoring a
free family safety event at
The Friendly Buffalo in
Big Lake Monday, June 23,
from 4-7 p.m.
The Big Lake Fire Dept.
and the Sherburne County
Water Patrol will have
information and displays.
Home owners can pur-
chase a home radon test kit
for $5. Old car safety seats
can be dropped off for
recycling.
Parents can call (763)
765-4112 to arrange an
appointment for a car seat
safety check at the event.
Its amazing, even now,
how often people either
dont have the seats buck-
led in tight enough or they
use the wrong seat belt
restraint on their baby,
said Marcia Engvall from
Sherburne County.
The car seat safety
checks are performed by
licensed, certified child
passenger safety techni-
cians who can provide
information on the correct
seat use for a childs height
and weight, installation
and passenger security and
check for car seat recalls.
In Minnesota, three out
of four child seats are used
incorrectly and many par-
ents are unaware of the
restraint steps as a child
ages and grows,
said Engvall. A vehicle is
the most dangerous place
for children and crashes are
their leading killer.
In 2012, more that 1,100
children ages 14 and under
died in motor vehicle
crashes. Another 176,000
were injured as passengers
on the roads.
As a child grows, their
car seat needs to change,
even up to the age of 12, or
until he or she is big
enough to use the regular
passenger seat belt safely.
A child should always
ride in the back seat, where
it is safest. Airbags in the
front seat can kill young
children should they
deploy.
One of the most com-
mon errors parents make is
moving their infant from a
rear facing seat to a for-
ward facing seat to soon.
Children should remain in
rear facing seats until they
are two years old and
weigh more than 20
pounds, studies show.
For children aged four to
eight, booster seats lift a
child up to help adult seat
belts fit correctly. A child
must remain in a booster
seat until at least aged
eight.
Job well
done

Trapshooting team wins conference; 5th at state
Jennifer Edwards
Staff Writer
The Big Lake Hornets
trapshooting team placed
first in Conference AAAA
and fifth place at state this
week, reports team secre-
tary Rhonda Eckerdt.
John Rebrovich, Corey
Eckerdt, Wesley Cavegn,
Ethan Schurter, Kyle
Kreuger, Levi Pramann
and Jack Sadowski were
all in the top 25 males for
Conference AAAA.
Sara Rebrovich took
first place among the top
25 females in AAAA.
Cheyanne Chaffee, Abby
Archambault, Jamie
Schwartz, Megan
Archambault, Grace
Rondeau and Alexis
Lockwood also all finished
in the top 25 for female.
And we took fifth place
over-all at the state cham-
pionship in Alexandria
Monday, Eckerdt said.
John Rebrovich quali-
fied for individual at the
MSHSL which will be this
Saturday in Prior Lake,
Garrett DeMers scored a
94/100 at the state champi-
onship for the JV team,
which was the second
highest, Eckerdt said.
Jerad Storlien scored a
98/100 at the state champi-
onship for the varsity
team, which was third
highest.
We had an amazing
year. For only being our
second year in the league
and not having try-outs as
many teams do, I'm very
pleased with where we
ended our season, said
Eckerdt.
We had to stop our ros-

ter at 50 kids this year,
which filled up fast, she
said. In order for us to
work closely with each
shooter and give them any
extra attention some may
need we didn't want to be
over-loaded with too many
shooters.
We shoot at the
Monticello Sportsmen's
Club on Monday evenings
along with the Monticello
High School, so we have to
share five trap houses, she
said. It works out great
but I think if we added
more kids it would just get
too crowded and the nights
would get too late.
A Virtual Sport
This is considered a vir-
tual sport, so even though
we shoot at the Monticello
Sportsmen's Club every
week, the coach will enter
the scores in the computer
by a specific date/deadline
based on your designated
shooting night and the
results are posted online
every Saturday evening by
9 p.m. she said.
Everyone is able to see
the scores of each team in
their conference and for the
first time this year, each
shooter can see their own
individual scores online,
Rhonda explained.
This year there were
over 6,100 kids in
Minnesota who joined a
trap team with the
M O S C H A T E L .
(Minnesota State High
School Clay Target
League), And nearly 2000
kids were turned away due
to no shooting club avail-
ability.
There were almost 4,000
kids at the state champi-
onship in Alexandria this
past weekend which was
said to be the largest in the
world, not just the state or
the United States.
We also try to accom-
modate the kids in other
activities such as golf,
baseball and softball,
Eckerdt said.
Two boys in particular
stood out this year who
were scoring around 5/25
during the first few weeks.
Logan VanHofwegen
scored a 19/25 and Wyatt
Stone scored a 20/25 dur-
ing the state championship
in Alexandria.
That was amazing!
said Eckerdt. Those kids
would have never made the
team if a try-out was neces-
sary. And they could very
well be on the varsity team
next year.
Derek Wick, a senior at
BLHS, was averaging 10 at
the beginning of the season
and scored a 24/25, also in
Alexandria.
A Dozen Girls
I was thrilled we had 12
girls on the team this year,
said Rhonda. I like to
think they enjoy having a
female coach, especially in
a male dominant sport.
Although we do have five
fantastic male coaches as
well, I felt the girls
responded to me better than
the boys did.
Eckerdt was recently
certified as an NRA-SRO
and NRA Shotgun Coach
and will be going to the
Olympic Training Center
in Colorado in September
for an all women's coach-
ing class.
I can't tell you how
proud of each of these kids
I am, she said. We had
another awful year of
weather. Plenty of snow the
first two weeks, then freez-
ing cold and rain after that.
Not a single kid com-
plained and went out there
and shot 50 rounds every
week.
Coach David Pramann
And Eckerdt are planning a
fall league only open to the
sixth through eighth
graders. The spring league
is only open to high school
students.
The fall league is six
weeks long with no state
competition at the end. It
will start in September. All
participants must have
their firearms safety certifi-
cates.

Legion off to a slow start
By Ken Francis
Staff Writer
The Big Lake American
Legion baseball team
opened the season on a
sour note, losing its first
four games this week.
Big Lake lost, 9-4 to
Coon Rapids on
Wednesday.
In that game, Taylor
Giving started on the
mound for Big Lake but
lasted just two innings. He
allowed eight runs and
eight hits. Big Lakes
defense didnt help out
much. Only two of those
runs were earned.
The Hornets got on the
board in the fourth inning
when Kyle Knaeble was hit
by a pitch, Dustin Wilcox
singled and Cameron
Peterson was hit by a pitch
to load the bases. Jake
Morehead bunted in
Knaeble and was safe at
first on the play. Then Sam
Jochum was hit by a pitch
to drive in Wilcox.
Big Lake got two more
in the fifth. Brandon
Holthaus singled and
Knaeble doubled him to
third. Wilcox drove in a run
on a groundout and
Peterson singled in
Knaeble to make the score,
8-4.
But that was all the runs
Big Lake could manage.
Coon Rapids got their final
run in the sixth off reliever
Brandon Holthaus.
Thursday, Big Lake lost,
15-0 to Sauk Rapids in a
game that ended after five
innings under the 10-run
rule.
Sauk Rapids exploded
for 12 runs in the fourth
inning off four different
Big Lake pitchers. Jacob
Thompson started on the
mound for Big Lake and
took the loss. He pitched
three innings, allowing
four runs (one earned.)
Tuesday, Kyle Knaeble
pitched well but had no run
support in a 2-0 loss to
Monticello.
He allowed two earned
runs, four hits, walked one
and struck out three in a
complete game effort.
On Monday, Little Falls
beat Big Lake, 14-2 in the
season opener.
Sam Dokkebakken start-
ed on the mound and
allowed five runs in the
third inning.
Big Lake got its two runs
in the fourth. After
Dokkebakken singled,
Connor Johnson and
Cameron Peterson walked
to load the bases. One run
scored on an error, then
Mason Miller hit a sacri-

Tough start for White
Caps baseball team
Souther, Teigen do
well at state meet
By Ken Francis
Staff Writer
Two Big Lake athletes
concluded their 2014 track
season with strong per-
formances at the
Minnesota State Track &
Field Championships last
weekend.
Nate Souther set a new
shool record in the 3200
meters and finished 14th
overall in 9:43.19.
Souther, a junior, set the
previous record of 9:45.76
at the Section 7AA meet
two weeks ago.
Eli Krahn of Stillwater
took the state title with a
time of 9:00.08
Collin Teigen, also a jun-
ior, set a personal best and
seasons best by taking
second in the 800 meters at
the section meet in
1:59.60.
That qualified him for
the state meet. In the pre-
liminary heats last Friday,
Teigen ran 2:01.24 and fin-
ished eighth, failing to
qualify for the finals.
Matthew Rosen of
Bloomington Jefferson
won the state title with a
time of 1:52.32.

The Big Lake White
Caps amateur baseball
team started its season
more than a week ago and
had its first win
Wednesday, 1-0 over
Monticello.
Leadoff batter Mitch
Loegering singled and
scored the only run of the
game in the first inning.
Big Lake managed just
three hits in the game, but
it was enough support for
White Caps pitcher Jake
Lindenfelser, who scat-
tered two hits over seven
innings for the shutout win.
He walked six and struck
out four.
Until Wednesdays win,
the White Caps were hav-
ing a tough start. They lost
their first five games,
beginning with a 7-2 defeat
at the hands of the St.
Michael Saints on May 21.
In that game, Dalton
Hesley started on the
mound and allowed four
runs and seven hits in 3.2
innings.
Micah Loegering and
Connor Dostal drove in
Big Lakes two runs.
Big Lake lost to Isanti, 9-
4 on May 28.
Lindenfelser started on
the mound and allowed
eight runs on nine hits in
five innings.
Big Lake had just five
hits in the game. Brian
Larson, Travis Palm and
Kevin Johnson each drove
in a run.
On June 4, the White
Caps were blanked by St.
Francis, 10-0.
Micah Loegering and
Austin Greiner had Big
Lakes only two hits.
Ross Stein started on the
mound and took the loss.
He allowed two unearned
runs and one hit in 2.2
innings of work.
The White Caps commit-
ted five errors in the game,
leading to eight unearned
runs.
Last Thursday, the White
Caps lost to Blaine, 7-0.
Joe Hudson started on
the mound and took the
loss. He pitched 5.2
innings, allowing seven
runs (six earned) and seven
hits. He walked two and
struck out two.
Big Lake had just one hit
in the game, by Brian
Larson.
In a wild game Sunday,
the White Caps lost to the
Anoka Bucs, 11-8.
Ross Stein started on the
mound and had control
problems. In 2.2 innings he
allowed seven runs on
three hits, eight walks and
hit three batters.
The Bucs got two more
runs off Micah Loegering
in the sixth and led, 9-0.
Big Lake came back
with a run in the sixth and
three more in the seventh.
The Bucs scored two
more in the top of the ninth
off Lindenfelser.
The White Caps put a
rally together in the bottom
of the ninth. But it ended
after four runs.
Big Lake had just five
hits in the game, but also
had 14 walks and four bat-
ters hit by a pitch.
Josh Ledin had a single,
two walks, scored a run
and drove in one.
Brian Larson had a sin-
gle, walk, an RBI, was hit
by a pitch and scored
twice.

Public Notices
(EDITORS NOTE: The
Sherburne Soil and Water
Conservation office is con-
tributing these articles.)
Starting this summer the
State will be providing
funds to counties for the
sole purpose of imple-
menting a plan to prevent
the introduction, or limit
the spread, of aquatic inva-
sive species.
The state is divvying up
$4.5 million to qualifying
counties this year and
another $10 million in AIS
prevention aid in 2015.
The amount of funding
each county will receive is
based on a formula using
the number of public
accesses in each county
and the number of boat
trailer parking spaces at
those public accesses.
Sherburne County is
expected to get $32,840 in
2014 and $73,000 in 2015
according to preliminary
information from the
Minnesota Senate. The
funding amount is based
on a count of 16 trailer
launches and 142 trailer
parking spaces at those
launches.
Legislation requires
counties to have guidelines
for action laid out in a writ-
ten plan or resolution that
must be submitted to the
MN DNR by December
31st, 2014.
It appears that there is
considerable latitude in
what the plan of action
may include. For example,
counties can spend the
money directly on projects
like site-level management
or countywide awareness.
Representatives from
County Law Enforcement,
Administration and the
Soil and Water
Conservation District sat
down together June 9 in
order to initiate the process
of developing a plan of
action to address AIS. The
group plans to talk with
neighboring counties
before developing a list of
recommended action
strategies because they feel
it is important to have a
plan or message that is
consistent with what others
are doing. Once developed
the draft plan will be
brought to a larger commit-
tee of county stakeholders
such as lake associations
for input and further refine-
ment before it makes its
way to the Board of
Commissioners for
approval.
The AIS funding
announcement came just a
few short weeks before the
discovery of Eurasian
Water Milfoil in Rush
Lake, one of the lakes in
the Briggs Chain of lakes,
located in Clear Lake.

Public transportation in
Big Lake is going through
some changes as Tri-Cap
out of St. Cloud takes over
the River Rider bus service
which formerly served the
area beginning July 1.
Tri-Cap is a general pub-
lic bus program which pro-
vides dial-a-ride service on
a limited basis to a wide
variety of customers.
It is our job to accom-
modate as many passen-
gers as possible, said
Director Linda Elfstrand.
The service will be
available throughout
Sherburne County Monday
through Friday from 9:30
a.m. to 2 p.m. for rides
around town or to Elk
River or Monticello. Rides
to Elk River from St.
Cloud are offered but rides
to St. Cloud are not part of
the sevice.
It will cost $1.25 per
boarding to ride the bus in
town and $3 per boarding
to travel to another town.
Tokens to ride the bus
can only be purchased by
mail and may be available
at other locations in
Sherburne County in the
future. River Rider punch
cards will not be accepted.
Tri-Cap is currently
accepting reservations. In
future, rides my need to be
reserved as much as two
weeks in advance or on as
little as 24 hours notice,
depending on demand for
service. Advance reserva-
tions are recommended.
The buses formerly
owned by River Rider will
be divided between Wright
and Sherburne counties
with four River Rider
buses and two drivers
going to Tri-Cap, Elfstrand
said. Three of the
Sherburne County buses
will be in Elk River and
one in Big Lake.
For now, we have no
regular routes, said
Elfstrand. But we hope to
expand services as demand
increases. We have to have
three to five riders per hour
to maintain the services we
currently offer. Its a deli-
cate balance.
To ride the bus, purchase
tokens, reserve a ride or
have questions answered,
call Tri-Cap at 1 (800)
600-7498 or 1 (320) 202-
7824. Information is also
available online at

Big Lake Middle School
recognized their Minnesota
Academic All-Stars Friday
before school was dis-
missed for the summer.
The middle school has
undergone many changes
this year, said Principal
Mark Ernst. We set out
last August, taking on
some huge challenges and
asking that we show our
Hornet Pride every day as
we walk the Hornet Way.
But students and teach-
ers rose to the challenge,
reducing discipline refer-
rals by almost 70%, Ernst
said. I believe you get
what you expect, said
Ernst. With those expecta-
tions we have been able to
add back 1,300 hours of
instructional time.
Another area the school
set out to improve was its
image, said Ernst.
It is impressive to walk
down the hallways here
and see how clean and neat
the school is. From the
floors to the bulletin
boards on the wall, this
place beams with Hornet
Pride.
Student growth in learn-
ing in all grades in math
and reading showed signif-
icant improvements, said
Ernst.
This year weve been
able to have a combined
growth across all grades in
math and reading of 37
percentage points, he
said. And I am excited to
tell all of you we more than
tripled our goal in reading
and almost tripled out goal
in math. Three times what
we set out to is incredible.
Its hard work and youve
all risen to the challenge.
There were 128 students
who were recognized for
having a GPA of 3.5 or
higher during the first two
trimesters of the year.
These students received
medals. Of those, 84 had a
GPA of 4.0 or better. These
students received medals
and a pin.
Students with a GPA of
3.9 or better are invited to
attend the Gathering of
Champions at the Mall of
America Aug. 1 at 10 a.m.

Sixth grader Joey
Gorlove made the most
growth over the year, said
Ernst.
All the students who had
made improvements had
their names entered into a
drawing to win one of two
bikes donated by Horace
Mann, thanks to Patrick
Michaud. Bike winners
were Ben Beckers and Sam
Harrer,
Alexander Hugh Prom,
who read the morning
announcements on the
schools morning show
each day, was given the
Principals Award.
We had to hold audi-
tions to see who would
replace him next year,
said Assistant Principal
Paula Foley.
Alex handed his joke
books off to Jenna
Wedlandt and Trent
Ramert, who will
announce the news of the
day when school resumes
in September.
Students honored
Brenda Hill, who retired
from her role in the front
office after 22 years work-
ing for the school district.
She was presented with a
sash, paper crown and
flowers.
A special thanks goes to
Emily Hartfiel Kristen
Shaw and Ms. Larson for
cutting and sewing the
stage skirt, Principal Ernst
said. In addition, Glenn
Litwiller and the rest of the
custodial staff deserve
recognition for their efforts
in getting the gym ready.
Principal Ernst closed
the proceedings by thank-
ing all the parents for
attending.

I hope this update finds
you well. It is great to be
able to see many of you at
district events now that the
2014 session is over.
During the interim, I will
periodically send out these
updates to inform you
about relevant issues that
may arise.
The Minnesota
Department of Transport-
ation invites public com-
ment on the draft
Minnesota Strategic
Highway Safety Plan, a
comprehensive policy plan
that provides insight and
direction on how to reduce
traffic-related crashes.
The public comment
period is now open until 4
p.m. July 8, 2014.
A draft copy of the
Minnesota Strategic High-
way Safety Plan will be

any of MnDOT's eight dis-
trict offices (see
www.mndot.gov for loca-
tions) or from the MnDOT

St. Paul.
Developed in consulta-
tion with safety stakehold-
ers from education, emer-
gency medical and trauma
services, enforcement,
engineering and other dis-
ciplines, the Minnesota
Strategic Highway Safety
Plan is based on data and
trends that will affect traf-
fic safety during the next
several years. It describes
how many, where, what
type and to whom crashes
Sen. Mary Kiffmeyer
Mary

occur, and presents
Minnesota's future focus
area priorities and a frame-
work for selecting traffic
safety strategies that will
help move the state toward
zero deaths on Minnesota
roadways. The plan also
highlights opportunities for
collaboration and perform-
ance measures to chart
progress.
Written comments on the
draft Minnesota Strategic
Highway Safety Plan
should be sent to safety-
plan@state.mn.us no later
than 4 p.m. July 8, 2014.
After the public comment
period, MnDOT will make
appropriate changes to the
plan and submit it to the
Federal Highway
Administration.

tate to contact me if you
have a question about this

request or any other leg-
islative issue. Enjoy the
nice weather and have a

State Rep. Nick Zerwas
(R-Elk River) filed the
paperwork at the Sherburne
County Government
Center to run for a second
term to the Minnesota
House of Representatives.
As a first-term legislator,
Zerwas was able to pass
legislation providing for a
sales tax exemption for
cities and counties. He also
helped lead efforts to
expand I-94 between
Rogers and St. Michael.
Education remains a top
priority for Zerwas as he
seeks a second term. Since
being sworn in as a legisla-
tor in 2013, Zerwas has
worked with local school
officials to get equity fund-
ing for the Elk River Area
School District and the Big
Lake School District. Both
the House and Senate
passed bills containing
equity funding during the
2014 Legislative Session
for the two school districts.
However, those funding
provisions were stripped
out by Democrats during
conference committee.
Im proud of the work I
was able to accomplish.
However, we still have
more work left to do, said
Zerwas. I plan to work in
a bipartisan way to provide
education equity funding
for our local schools if Im
fortunate enough to win a
second term.

CentraCare Health
Monticello recently hosted
35 healthcare students
from Saudi Arabia. As part
of the University of
Minnesotas Master of
Healthcare Administration
program, the students visit-
ed select hospitals through-
out the state including
CentraCare Health
Monticello, Mayo Clinic
and Abbott Northwestern.
In 2012, the MHA program
enrolled students from
Saudi Arabia, all of whom
are employed with King
Fahad Medical City in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The
students are trained in
healthcare leadership,
finance, operations, strate-
gy, and a variety of other
business disciplines.
CentraCare Health
Monticello was selected to
host the students because
of its reputation for provid-
ing coordinated care with
larger facilities. While at
the hospital, students
received an overview of
CentraCare Health
Monticello from Mary
Ellen Wells, FACHE,
Administrator of
CentraCare Health -
Monticello and Terence
Pladson, MD, MBA,
FACPE, President and
Chief Executive Officer of
CentraCare Health.
In addition, the students
heard case studies present-
ed by Mark Bonneville,
MD, FACEP, FAAFP,
Medical Director of the
Emergency Department at
CentraCare Health
Monticello and Alpit Patel,
MD, Hospitalist Medical
Director at CentraCare
Health Monticello. The
case studies demonstrated
CentraCare Health
Monticellos skill in coor-
dinating care for patients
between primary and spe-
cialty services.
During their visit to
Monticello, the students
were able to learn about a
hospital that has success-
fully integrated into a
regional health system and
the key relationships
CentraCare Health -
Monticello now enjoys,
said Drew Hatton,
Coordinator, MHA and
Executive Studies
Programs at the University
of Minnesota. Our stu-
dents were impressed by
the referral systems and
ease of access to secondary
and tertiary care discussed
during their visit; Saudi
Arabia's quickly-growing
health system will
undoubtedly benefit from
improved efficiencies in
continuity of care.
We were so honored to
host this group of health-
care students from Saudi
Arabia, said Wells. They
were extremely impressed
with the breadth and quali-
ty of our services and have
told us that they plan on
emulating our model when
they return home.
