Roasting beans for the brew BY ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER
ST. CLOUD — Walking into a coffee shop, one hears and smells a number of different things – the steaming milk, the slow brew of espresso and the grinding of coffee beans. Within minutes, a coffee bean can go from a whole bean to a lique ed, steamy beverage. But, how often do you think about where your coffee comes from before it is in your mug? Muggsy’s Beans, of St. Cloud, has your answer. “Coffee beans come from all over,” said Muggsy Lauer, owner of Muggsy’s Beans. “I think that’s what makes coffee unique. Every region grows coffee differently, and it has a different taste because of the climate and the soil.” The roasted worldly beans will be available for retail sales at the Sauk Rapids Market this summer which will take place every Thursday from 3-6 p.m. at the Coborn’s parking lot – 110 Street S., Sauk Rapids. Lauer orders coffee beans from regions of the world. “There’s a lot of tales hidden in this little space where I roast the beans,” Lauer said. “I have coffee from Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, you name it. If only the beans could tell their journey, it
would be great.” When Lauer receives the burlap bags, he scoops the beans out of the bags and puts them into his Probat roaster, heating them up, roasting them to perfection and then cooling them back down to package them. “They come bagged and you can brew them right away,” Lauer said. “But I like to let my beans sit for a day before I brew them.” Muggsy’s Beans specializes in roasting coffee beans for churches, such as Calvary Community Church in St. Cloud and The Waters Church in Sartell. He also sells to three local coffee shops – Rock Creek Coffeehouse in Sauk Rapids, Liquid Assets in Sartell and The Local Blend in St. Joseph. “I love that we have local coffee shops,” Lauer said. “It really creates a local culture, and I think a lot of people enjoy being able to support small businesses in the area. Plus, the owners of the three shops have started to become good friends of mine. It’s a great partnership knowing we are friends and working to create an ambiance in central Minnesota.” The Sauk Rapids Market is one of minimal public sales. “I really enjoy the contact I have with people at the market,”

Petra from front to be a part of,” said the Rev. Bryan Prell. “I have been the pastor here for almost ve years, and you can tell from the rst time you walk in the door how special the community is.” The church has 300 members with 130 worshipping each Sunday. At its inception, Petra Lutheran Church had no pastor and was a gathering started by college students. The congregation was incorporated in 1968, meeting in several locations including at St. Cloud State University and downtown St. Cloud. Petra Lutheran purchased and dedicated their land at 1049 First Ave. N., Sauk Rapids on Jan. 25, 1976. A portable chapel was placed at the site and services began. “When we rst had the site here, First Avenue didn’t exist,” said Wally
Engel, one of the original members of Petra Lutheran. “It was a dirt access road from 11th Street.” The chapel was replaced with the current building ve years later. In 1987, Petra Lutheran added a school, with classes meeting in the church’s worship and of ce spaces. With increased enrollment, the congregation considered adding classrooms, and construction for the education wing started in 1993. A larger gathering space was added to the front of the church at the same time. Today, the school serves 20 students enrolled in grades 3-8. “Our children are the future of our church, and our students do a lot of our evangelism,” said Terry Graf, principal and teacher at Petra Lutheran School. “One of the biggest reasons for starting our school is that we can provide a safe, stable environment during the school day. It also allows us more individualized attention

and gives us the ability to help our students excel, especially if they have subjects they are advancing in quicker.” Prell said the congregation continues to support the school. “The school was originally added as a way to draw more members, but now, it’s a staple for the community,” he said. “Everyone here is really tight-knit, like a family.” As the congregation celebrates 50 years, they look forward to what the future holds for the church. “Over the years, because of how small our community is, we have had a lot of handme-down items in the church,” Prell said. “… We are nally starting to be able to get our own brand-new things and do larger renovations, like replacing the carpeting in the worship space. We are sitting comfortably as far as nances go. We have been debt-free for the last three years, which is a

great accomplishment for a smaller church.” But to Prell and many of the members of the church, material items are not as important as having a space to worship and be with the God they serve.
“We pride ourselves on being welcoming and full of worship,” Prell said. “On any given week, we have people stopping in to check out the church and partake in a service. God has been good to Pe-
tra Lutheran and its members. Not every congregation can say they’ve made it 50 years. That takes a lot of work and dedication. But we can say we have done it, and that is what makes us proud.”

Volunteer in our schools
Sara Heurung, Foster Grandparent Program area supervisor School is out; summer is nally here. Educators and all the wonderful support staff are excited for the break and the kids are already planning for the next school year. Just kidding. Most of the kids dropped their backpack at the front door and will not open them until a week before school starts. Or if you live in my house, the day before. Educators and support staff at all of our area schools are already laying out plans for the 2018-19 school year, looking at ways they can keep learning fun and still teach all the necessary material. Whether or not an educator agrees with the way Minnesota measures a child’s pro ciency in any subject, the report card exists. Data from the Minnesota Report Card (https://rc.education.state.mn.us) on the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District shows the average teacher to student ratio is 1:18. If you add the valuable support staff
it brings that number down to 1:17, with 57.4 percent of the students being pro cient in math and 58.5 percent in reading. What can we do to help them make the 2018-19 school year a successful one for all of our area students and teachers? Volunteer. Volunteers are valuable to our teachers. Having an extra hand in the classroom allows the teacher to sit with a child or small group who may need extra time to grasp a concept. Volunteers can also be the person giving the extra time and attention to a child by listening to them read and provide encouragement. Become a volunteer, help strengthen your school community, make a difference in a child’s life, a teacher’s life and make a difference in your own life. There is evidence of health bene ts for those who volunteer across all ages including lower levels of depression and an extended life expectancy (https://www.nationalservice.gov/ serve/bene ts-volunteering).
Stand together, vote no Tom Haaf, Sauk Rapids Thank you to all the vote no supporters who showed up to vote. Our voice was heard. Another year without a signi cant tax increase. Higher taxes, stagnant growth and driving away good jobs and small businesses. Capitalism and investment grow a better and stronger community and is the cornerstone of a strong community. We are not coming together with them. We are the vote no people and stand together for lower taxes and better jobs. We, the voter, say no. Come November, we can vote to start making change within the school board. Your vote will continue to be heard and matters. The votes against the referendum were almost four times greater this year than on the last referendum vote. The votes for the referendum were stagnant without gaining additional support or votes even with the additional survey, marketing, larger signs and money spent. Pleasantview Elementary School Principal Aby Froiland said, “Our facility is so tight our students are on top of each other.” Dear Aby, this is a school board and superintendent problem created by them, not the taxpayer. Stop whining to the taxpayers and take it to the school board. Don’t be a dead sh and oat downstream.
Interim superintendent Bruce Watkins said about the Pleasantview temporary portable classrooms, “The oors are spongy, the walls are pulling away and we have to control the rodent population that sneaks in.” Maybe the health inspector and the building inspector should inspect these areas for potential replacement. As far as the rodents are concerned, the district and law enforcement should serve those rodents with criminal trespassing onto school property in violation of Minnesota States section 609.605, subdivision 4(d). In addition, they may have to obtain a harassment restraining order against said rodents to resolve this issue. The St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce voted to support the referendum. Teresa Bohnen, president of the chamber, and the board of directors did not do their homework to nd out what was really going on in ISD. 47’s referendum. Instead, they supported higher additional taxes on our community and small businesses. I thought the chamber was for lower taxes, small businesses and a stronger community. What happened to that vision? Thank you again to all of the vote no supporters. Remember to stand together. A dead sh oats downstream, and a vote no sh swims upstream to an uncertain but affordable future.

Leaving children unsupervised
The school year has come to an end, to the delight of many children. For some parents, this turn of the calendar brings uncertainty and worry. With school out for the summer, working parents must answer the question of how they will ensure their children are properly supervised while they are working. At some point, all parents will ask themselves BY TROY HECK whether or not their child is old Benton County Sheriff enough to stay home alone. Because children develop on their own timeline, there is no one-size- ts-all solution to this question. Parents, by law, must ensure their children have supervision appropriate to the child’s age. To help guide parents in this decision, Benton County maintains a policy that states staff will investigate reports of children left home alone under the following conditions: - Children age 7 and younger left alone for any period of time. - Children age 8-10 who are alone for more than three hours. - Children age 11-13 alone for more than 12 hours. - Children age 14-15 who are unsupervised while parents are absent for more than 24 hours. - Children age 16-17 may be left alone more than 24 hours but need to have an appropriate plan in place as to how to respond to an emergency. These are guidelines and each situation must be assessed based upon the individual child’s maturity level, safety plan and available support resources. Parents should work with children to prepare them for being home alone. Supervising children while they learn to cook, teaching basic aid, showing how and when to dial 911 and ensuring they know what to do in the event of an emergency will help both the parent and child be more at ease when the time comes for them to go at it alone. Parents should also discuss a safety plan with children to make sure they understand things like how to reach a trusted adult, whether or not they should answer the door or telephone, whether they are allowed to go outside, what the rules are for internet access, etc. Finally, parents may want to consider taking advantage of technology to help keep their children safe. Alarm and monitoring systems are an option many choose for providing peace of mind. Some home security systems include the ability for someone to remotely monitor people coming and going from the home, even allowing parents to remotely communicate with visitors at the door. Certain systems may include cameras in the home to help parents keep track of what is going on when they are away. For children who are called upon to supervise other children, Benton County has the following guidelines: - Children under age 11 may not care for other children. - Children age 11-15 who are placed in a child care role are subject to the same time restrictions as those left home alone (see list above). - Children age 16-17 may be left home alone in a child care role for more than 24 hours provided they have an adequate plan in place for appropriate adult backup support.

Gray brothers manage berry business BY ELIZABETH HOAG STAFF WRITER
CLEAR LAKE — Two weeks out of the year, people young and old have the opportunity to walk through elds of green, sprinkled with shiny red strawberries – picking and biting into the juicy fruit. Grayson’s Berryland in Clear Lake opens this coming week, offering an experience to pick
your own berries or buy prepicked strawberries to eat straight off the plant or make jam, pies, wine, daiquiris and more. Two brothers, Gary and Paul Gray, have been grooming their berry elds since the early 1980s, planting strawberries, blueberries and raspberries to carry on their father’s farm work. The two are also involved in the Minnesota Growers Association.
“When we started the berry elds, the local strawberry farmer in Becker was retiring so there was a need,” Paul said. Gary agreed. “We decided to plant berries because it lled in a time slot,” he said. “The other times of the year, we are planting and harvesting potatoes, corn, soybeans and wheat.”

ST. CLOUD – As the warmer months are underway, discussing grazing potential is a key aspect in successfully pasture grazing dairy cattle. “Opportunity here is almost endless,” said Kent Solberg, livestock and grazing specialist for Sustainable Farming Association. Over 30 bankers, University of Minnesota
extension employees, farmers, nutritionists, agriculture consultants, master grazers and graduate students gathered at Molitor Organic Farm in St. Cloud May 24 to discuss grazing and how this helps nancial success for dairy farmers. Brad Heins, University of Minnesota Dairy Scientist, opened the afternoon with discussion

focusing on grazing potential. In this case, grazing potential refers to managing pasture crop growth, improving soil health, improving pasture fertility, controlling weed growth and improving pasture maintenance. “Know the nutritional value of grasses,” Heins said. “Test your grasses at least three times per year, not only about height, but diversity and density.” The goal of pasture feeding is to have a high nutritional value with types of grasses, often including a variety of plants. “A mixture of grasses can produce more, helping cows have a more wellbalanced diet,” Heins said. Diversity is key in grazing. Solberg recommends at least 10- to 14-way pasture mixes and 20- to 30-way cover crop blends on grazing elds. A diversi ed plant community can improve forage quality, animal performance and animal health. “There is a chemical communication between plants when they are stressed,” Solberg said. “Polycultures tend to outperform monocultures during stressful environmental conditions.” Solberg related diversity to a shotgun approach, meaning plant a lot and hope it grows. “This does not mean all combinations will work, but it can stimulate soil health,” Solberg said. In addition to diversity, farms are dependent on soil fertility as growing quality grass is reliant on a healthy soil type. Heins recommends investing in a soil test on pastures. “At the university farm, we use a manure source as a fertility source, but nothing else,” Heins said. Cover crops are a tool to keep healthy soil on pastureland. “We do a corn, soybeans, pasture rotation,” Heins said. “This results in positive forage quality, good grazing, a positive trend of fertility and a positive trend to increase soil health.” Heins recommends a permanent pasture and cool season grasses. “Warm season work takes a lot of tillage and may not be good for soil health,” Heins said. Organic dairy farmer and owner of the host farm Joe Molitor agreed. “We do not do summer annuals,” Molitor said. “You have got to have the water.” Following the discussion, Molitor
took attendees on a pasture walk through his eld while discussing his farms grazing rotations and potential. The rst eld was a diverse pasture with orchard grass and some ryegrass. “It is half the thickness it should be,” Molitor said. “If we wait 10 days, it will be perfect.” Molitor said it is a good pasture for heifers. “This eld has a relative feed value of 180,” Molitor said. “There is too much fertility on this eld. I would only get one and a half milkings on this eld.” The Molitors milk about 300 cows, but do not have enough quality pastureland to feed cows 100 percent grass; therefore, 30 percent of the cows ration is grass. The family has their own weather station and watches the weather so that they can monitor moisture and feed the cows high quality forages. Along with utilizing the weather station, Molitor monitors cow behavior and makes decisions to improve the cow ration or forage quality. “If cows are not lying down, feed quality is not good enough or they didn’t eat enough,” Molitor said. According to the University of Minnesota, a cows grazing is not limited to a period of time the forages are actively growing, but rather a time quality forage can be available to cows. Farmers today are looking to extend the grazing season by planting different plants later in the year. Throughout the grazing season for the Molitors, each eld can be utilized for ve rotations of grazing. According to Molitor, high quality elds can give their cows enough energy to produce for two milkings. Members of the apprenticeship must have a minimum of ve years experience in grazing and complete 4,000 hours of training over a two-year program. Throughout the program, members share knowledge and skills, develop skills, receive professional support, explore new ideas and make a difference in their operation. “You don’t have to be organic to graze,” Solberg said. “Even if you just graze heifers, you can see a nancial bene t.” Those in the dairy industry are experiencing economic stress and farmers need to look for a change. “We are in radical times and measures in dairy to keep it a oat,” Solberg said. “Don’t discount anything. There are many resources and other dairy farmers available for you to utilize.”

June Molitor from pg. 8B Working side by side with his son has af rmed Terry’s career in dairying, and he is looking forward to Pat having his turn at running the family farm. “I’ve had a good career,” Terry said. “We’ve worked hard to develop a good herd, kept good help to keep things running and we’ve had good health. That’s what makes farming so much easier because it’s not a 40-hour per week job. You never really get time off, and you hope to God you don’t get sick because the load gets so much heavier for the ones who have to do it.” Terry is hopeful he has given Pat all the knowledge and tools he needs to be successful at farming. “I’m hoping if something happens to me tonight, that Pat has what he needs to grab the bull by the horns,” Terry said. As his father helped him build the barn, Terry plans to help Pat in the same way. “A lot of people today, if they don’t get some help, I’m not sure they can get going,” Terry said. “After all, you can’t take the money with you.” Pat hopes to someday install a milking parlor but for now, the Molitors
are weathering the current low milk and commodity prices. Terry said it has not been easy, but they are trying to make it through while hoping prices get better soon. “I don’t mind working hard, but there should be a little payback, too,” Terry said. Despite the challenges, Terry is quick to point to the rewards of farming. Terry singles out his No. 1 producing cow in the herd today – a crossbred cow producing 158 pounds at her peak. “She’s not the prettiest looking cow, but she’s been our top producing cow for 6-7 months now,” Terry said. Watching his herd develop into what it is today and always striving for the next goal is what has kept Terry farming all these years. He has learned to take the good with the bad and how to go with the ow. Now seeing his son and nephew working alongside him makes the long days and hard work worthwhile. “It makes you feel good that the road you’ve traveled all these years was well worth it,” Terry said. “Hopefully when I’m out of the equation the boys stay with it.” That is Terry’s dream – a dream a lifetime in the making.
Pat Molitor beds an area where a portion of their dairy herd is housed on their farm June 12 in Sauk Rapids. Pat began farming with his dad, Terry, when he graduated high school in 2003.

Research agricultural engineer with University of Minnesota has found that when cows experience days where the Extension provides his facilities tips: - Shade cuts solar heat gain for cows on pasture. temperature heat index, or THI, is between 65 and 73, milk yield loss averages 5 pounds per cow per Cows in barns have shade. Roof overhangs provide more shade near the barn sidewalls. day. - Barn ventilation cools cows by providing air - Impaired reproduction. Heat stress hinders reproductive performance of the dairy cow and exchange between inside and outside. Ventilation consequential impacts can be seen for months can be by either natural or mechanical means. In hot weather, provide as much ventilation as you can. - Tunnel ventilation brings air in at one end or side of a barn and exhausts it out the other. Size fans and inlets correctly and make sure the fans are well maintained and inlets are open. - Mixing fans hung from rafters or trusses create air movement during hot weather to help cool cows by blowing air past the cows. Mixing fans do not provide air exchange between inside and outside but they supplement the cooling effect of ventilation. *limited quantities - Low pressure sprinklers along feed bunks or

in holding areas wet the cows’ backs to provide cooling. Wet the cows’ backs to the skin. Low pressure sprinkler systems must turn on and off. Cow heat evaporates the water and cools the cows when the sprinklers are off. Mixing fans enhance the effect. At 70 degrees, sprinklers should be turned on at a cycle of two minutes every 15 minutes. As temperature increases, sprinklers need to cycle at shorter intervals. - High pressure misters cool the air by creating a ne mist or small droplets. The droplets need to evaporate before they hit the stalls or bedding. Place misters near inlets. Misters are not as effective when ventilation blows the mist out of the barn before the air cools. - Evaporative pads cool and humidify the inlet air in low-pro le cross-ventilated barns. The pads need to be uniformly moist for best effect. Fresh water needs to be added and check for mineral accumulation and algae growth. Cows need plenty of access to fresh water. There should be 1.2-3.6 linear inches of space per cow at a waterer. As temperatures increase, so does water consumption and crowding at waterers can occur. Ensure you have enough space at each waterer, as well as enough waterers. In freestall barns with four rows, waterers at every crossover are adequate. Understanding barn and pen design, as well as stocking rates will allow you to make the right decisions when it comes to waterers. Also, think about having a waterer outside the parlor. Cows consume about 10 percent of their daily water after milking. There are a lot of components to keeping your cows cool and reducing negative economic impact in the summer. Prepare for the hottest days of summer by checking all fans, sprinklers and waterers to make sure they are working properly.

As part of a 33-year effort to protect sensitive lands and improve water quality and wildlife habitat on private lands, the U.S. Department of Agriculture will resume accepting applications for the voluntary Conservation Reserve Program. Eligible farmers, ranchers and private landowners can sign up at a Farm Service Agency of ce between June 4 and Aug. 17. “The Conservation Reserve Program is an important component of the suite of voluntary conservation programs USDA makes available to agricultural producers, bene ting both the land and wildlife,” said Sonny Perdue, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. “On the road, I often hear rst-hand how popular CRP is for our recreational sector; hunters, shermen, conservationists and bird watchers. CRP also is a powerful tool to encourage agricultural producers to set aside unproductive, marginal lands that should not be farmed to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and boost soil health.” FSAstopped accepting applications last fall for the CRP continuous signup (excluding applications for the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and CRP grasslands). This pause allowed USDA to review available acres and avoid exceeding the 24 million-acre CRP cap set by the 2014 Farm Bill. New limited practice availability and short sign up period helps ensure that landowners with
the most sensitive acreage will enroll in the program and avoid unintended competition with new and beginning farmers seeking leases. CRP enrollment is about 22.7 million acres. For this year’s signup, limited priority practices are available for continuous enrollment. They include grassed waterways, lter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. FSA will use updated soil rental rates to make annual rental payments, re ecting current values. It will not offer incentive payments as part of the new signup. USDA will not open a general signup this year; however, a one-year extension will be offered to existing CRP participants with expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less. Producers eligible for an extension will receive a letter with more information. Additionally, FSA established new ranking criteria for CRP grasslands. To guarantee all CRP grasslands offers are treated equally, applicants who previously applied will be asked to reapply using the new ranking criteria. Producers with pending applications will receive a letter providing the options. Producers wanting to apply for the CRP continuous signup or CRP grasslands should contact their USDA service center. To locate a FSA of ce, visit https://www.farmers.gov. More information on CRP can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.

SAUK RAPIDS — Benton County 4-H members and those interested in the program participated in the Second Annual 4-H Showcase and Performing Arts Evening June 6 at the Benton County Fairgrounds in Sauk Rapids. The evening was lled with activities such as a guided tour, ambassador introductions, project exhibits, live animals and a performing arts show. The purpose of the event is to allow families interested in 4-H to learn about the program from those already involved. Benton County 4-H Program Coordinator, Ann Olson, welcomed
about 150 attendees to the event with help from 4-H Intern Tori Halverson and summer assistant Lexi Roberts. Twelve students performed in the showcase and animals at the event ranged from rabbits and chickens to lamas [llamas and alpacas] and horses. Ambassador advisor, Joyce Belanger, introduced the county’s student ambassadors and the students shared the number of years they have participated in 4-H as well as their project areas. The evening wrapped up with several Benton County participants sharing through a question and answer period.

Parade Pals from page 6C Come May, Sauer begins coordinating efforts to accommodate the 1,200-plus marching bands students – arranging facility rentals, band parking and awards, food and refreshments, portable restrooms and marching band judges from Tri-State Judging Association. “Any aspect having to do with the bands and support of their needs is what I do,” Sauer said. Elness, a professional advertising designer who has, in the past, volunteered with all Rapids River Days event committees, heads the marketing for the parade and is the administrator for the Rapids River Days website. Two months into the current year, she updates the website and adds the parade applications online, accounting for registration fees and units through the deadline. Elness executes the line-up, placing emergency services up front by design, followed by veteran organizations, dignitaries and royalties. Businesses, politicians and nonprofit organizations make up the majority of the units. Bands are filtered between units in order to allow their music to be heard separately from others. “The line-up is not first come, first serve,” Elness said. “We designate the line-up to accommodate safety needs first. Our service units are always up front for that reason.” Both work with city staff on the logistics of the event. The police and public works departments provide manpower and equipment to the parade, setting up barricades, blocking roads and watching for safety concerns before, during and after the event. They also help decide when to cancel because of weather. Elness said although there have been
several times when it looked as though the parade would not happen, only once has the parade been called off. “I have to say I have a straight connection up to the heavens because there are certain windows we’ve received just in time for our parade to go on,” Elness said. “… We had a two-hour window one time. It was perfect. It was just for the parade. So, we keep saying we have divine intervention helping us out.” But even without clear skies, the parade coordinators have a plan. The route, which was also suggested by Campbell, uses Pleasantview Elementary and the Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle Schools as shelters should weather become severe. On the day of, Sauer takes her place at the start of the parade as the official step-off leader, deciding when each band and unit can proceed onto the route. She has five volunteers – who under the title of band ambassador – greet and guide each band bus as they are welcomed into town. She also has another 10 or so band parents who help serve food and water at the middle school where bands await the awards ceremony. Elness works with five others to coordinate placement. Five more volunteers judge the parade, selecting the best business, best non-profit and the judges’ choice units. “We are on radios and cell phones,” Elness said. “We communicate all afternoon long. As a group, we measure unit space, place numbered stakes, checkin units and direct placement.” For Elness, Sauer and the volunteers, managing the parade comes with one downfall. They hardly see the actual event itself. Sauer remembers escorting a horse trailer to Hillside years ago and being in awe. “There I was, at about 4:30-5 o’clock, going through the parade route with these trailers following me, and I am seeing

the throngs of people,” she said. “I just had chills the whole time. … I had never seen the entire route. It was amazing to see the families and people set up in their yards with awnings, chairs and blankets, having picnics and parties. It was almost overwhelming.” Elness agreed. She had the opportunity to take part in the parade as Sauk Rapids Citizen of the Year in 2007. “It’s such a blur,” she said. “It’s 8-10 people deep everywhere. I had no idea.” With years of experience learning how to simplify the parade’s many tasks, the two coordinators said the parade has become a seamless event. For the crew who works behind the scenes, there is much satisfaction and pride bringing the parade to the Sauk Rapids community. “We still half giggle and are in shock sometimes to realize the night before that chairs are lined up forever for the eye to see, reserving spaces,” Elness said. “… PHOTO SUBMITTED We are humbled and grateful to know the Robert Morse and Mark Sauer assist community and visitors love it so much.” along the Sixth Avenue parade route.
