Four Years of Perfect Attendance Q&As Five recent graduates of Sauk Rapids-Rice High School had a perfect attendance their last four years of high school. Below, these graduates explain what the accomplishment means to them among other things.

Name: Brooke Butkowski When’s the last time you’ve missed a day of school? Why? It was in elementary school and I think I was sick.

Was this something you strived for? Was this important to you?

Yeah. It was pretty important to me, especially after getting perfect attendance in middle school.

How did you make sure to achieve it? I got lucky and was never sick enough to miss.

Do you remember what the worst day was like at school, where you thought you might miss? I can’t really think of a day where I wanted to be at home. I always wanted to be at school so I didn’t get behind.

Name: Ian Galligan When’s the last time you’ve missed a day of school? Why? It was halfway through eighth grade and I missed because I was sick.

Was this something you strived for? Was this important to you?

It became important when I was halfway through tenth grade and hadn’t missed a day. At that point, I wanted to finish it out.

How did you make sure to achieve it? Even if I felt kind of sick, I figured I could probably survive school.

Do you remember what the worst day was like at school, where you thought you might miss? Just this past year, there was a day when I had a really bad headache and I was really tired, but I didn’t think it was worth it to go home.

Name: Patrick O’Brien When’s the last time you’ve missed a day of school? Why? It was in middle school, but I can’t remember why.

Was this something you strived for?

Was this important to you? It was something that just happened.

How did you make sure to achieve it? I guess I just didn’t get sick.

Do you remember what the worst day was like at school, where you thought you might miss? I don’t really remember.

Name: Nathaniel Stidmon When’s the last time you’ve missed a day of school? Why? I don’t think I’ve missed a day of school in my entire schooling career.

Was this something you strived for? Was this important to you? I felt it was important to go and have a sense of responsibility.

How did you make sure to achieve it? I got to school on time, made schedules and paid attention during class.

Do you remember what the worst day was like at school, where you thought you might miss? I don’t really remember any bad days. It’s been pretty consistent.

Name: Alex Zika When’s the last time you’ve missed a day of school? Why? Probably in middle school because I was sick.

Was this something you strived for?

Was this important to you? Once I had two years of perfect attendance, it became pretty important. I figured I made it that far, so I wanted to finish it off.

How did you make sure to achieve it? I wasn’t sick and made sure I showed up every day.

Do you remember what the worst day was like at school, where you thought you might miss? I don’t think I had a day like that.

OPINION

Letters to the Editor

Being forced to live next to a gas station Tonya Soltis, Benton County Resident In February, we were notified of a city council meeting to build a new gas station in Royalton because our property was within so many feet. The property in which they wanted to build was residential and would need rezoning.

Because of the location, many residents of the town had road safety concerns as well as concerns of the residents who live next to the property.

At the council meeting we were only given 15 minutes to speak and without any consideration our mayor and council voted to re-zone the property. Everything was said and done before they even called the meeting so we had no say.

The piece of property that the Bill’s Superette is being built on conveniently has been annexed into the city. The city got on board because of the tax dollars they would get for it. We asked for a privacy fence to be built for the residents. The city said it was not their problem as we are not in the city limits.

The safety concerns brought up were also dismissed by the council because the road is a township road. How convenient the council won’t deal with any of the problems that come with having this property in this location. They just sit back and collect the money from it.

Residents asked the gentleman representing Bill’s Superette at the council meeting why he would rather have a residential property rezoned rather than use the alreadyexisting commercial zoned property within the community.

He stood up and said arrogantly, “It’s a free country and I can build where I want.”

We need a mayor and council who can’t be bought, we need to not spend our money in businesses that only use our freedoms to line their pockets. Take a stand! Don’t shop at Bill’s Superette and let the city of Royalton know at election time that we as people care about what is right and what is wrong!

RICE — A Michigan woman was injured May 31 when a loose tire caused the vehicle she was riding in to roll.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Zachary Szprejda, 22, of Stevens Point, Wis., was traveling southbound on Highway 10 in his van around 2:30 p.m. when a tire from a northbound vehicle fell off and crossed into southbound traffic near Julie Avenue.

Szprejda’s van hit the tire, lost control, entered the median ditch and rolled.

Taylor Henderson, 22 of Carney, Mich., was a passenger in the vehicle and sustained non lifethreatening injuries. Szprejda was not hurt.

The Rice Police Department assisted the Minnesota State Patrol at the scene of the accident.

Al was an intelligent, gentle, opinionated, and well respected man who enjoyed walleye fishing, deer and pheasant hunting, summers at the lake, gardening, riding his Harley to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald House, and being with his family. Allyn wants to be remembered as a man of the soil, woods, and water.

He is survived by his wife, LeAnn; two sons, Andrew Ford of St. Cloud and Philip (Twyla) Ford of Sauk Rapids; three grandchildren, Daniel, Camren, and Jaylen; one sister, Dona (Roger) Idso of Goodyear, Arizona. He is preceded in death by his parents, Morgan and Arlene; and his brother, Jerry.

Koenig ends lacrosse strong

For the second straight year the Sauk Rapids-Rice softball team advanced to the final four in section before being eliminated.

This years Storm playoff run ended June 1 when they lost to Thief River Falls 5-1 in Sauk Rapids.

“We had a goal of ending in the top four of the section and we accomplished that. Obviously, we wanted to make it to the section championship game, but that did not happen,” said Sauk Rapids-Rice Head Coach Ken Karna. “ SR-R finished 2-2 in the Section 5AAA playoffs and 13-11 overall.

The Storm biggest challenge against the Prowlers was figuring out their pitcher Alexa Rogalia. She held SR-R to five hits while striking out eight batters.

“She did a good job keeping the ball in on our hands,” Karna said.

The Storms best threat was in the second inning when with two outs Sydney Plemel, Beccah Kelash and

Anna Iburg all reached base consecutively but a strike out ended the Storms threat.

“Anytime you score first it gives you a little extra boost. I think getting on the board early would have kept our momentum rolling from the Sartell game,” Karna said.

TRF came right back in the top of the third inning and scored two runs. They added three more in the top of the fifth inning to take a commanding 5-0 lead.

The Storms lone run of the game came in the bottom of the seventh inning when senior Beccah Kelash scored on a groundout from Megan Ackerman.

Kelash had two hits, Bailey Becker, Sydney Plemel and Jill Oldakowski each had one hit for the Storm.

Kelash took the loss for the Storm. She allowed 12 hits and five earned runs. Brinny Mastey pitched the final 2 2/3 innings for SR-R and did not allow a hit.
