THE GAZETTE
Husband- and wife-team
Dariush and Sarah Moslemi,
opened the Wild Hare restau-
rant in downtown Stillwater
with its public opening on Feb.
8.
The eatery is a mix of a
dive bar and vegan/vegetarian
friendly organic café with a nos-
talgic 1990s theme.
Sarah has a background in
yoga and is passionate about
gluten-free foods, vegan and
vegetarian eating, but Dariush
— while he enjoys his wife’s
style of food — has a soft spot
for deep-fried foods.
“I love fried food — and I al-
ways have — but my wife is like
‘that’s so gross’ she was always
like quinoa and all this other
stuff. He said to his wife, “I bet
you I can figure out how to make
fried food healthy, and we did.”

New political
district maps
released by
state courts
BY MOHAMED IBRAHIM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Minnesota panel of
five judges released new
congressional and leg-
islative district maps on
Tuesday, repositioning the
state’s political landscape
for the next 10 years and
setting the stage for No-
vember’s midterm elec-
tions.
The newly drawn maps
showed expansions and
contractions of Minne-
sota’s eight congressional
seats, which are currently
split between four Repub-
licans and four Democrats.
Shifts in legislative districts
also raise the stakes for
control of a divided Leg-
islature with narrow mar-
gins as every seat in both
chambers is up for grabs in
November.
The 8th District shifted
slightly to south on its
eastern border and now

KFC in Oak Park Heights circa 1975
A fast food history in the St. Croix Valley
Stillwater and the St. Croix
Valley are known for their res-
taurants and local lunch places.
Some people have even called
the area a “foodie” must do.
National television shows such
as “Diners Drive-Ins and Dives”
have filmed on Stillwater’s Main
Street. Back in the late 1960s and
early 1970s, fast food came into
the community on Highway 36 –
and is still there today.
One of the first restaurants
on Highway 36 was the A & W
Root Beer stand started by Louis
and Elinor Cihlar in the summer
of 1961. By 1972, the Cihlars
had sold the A & W to other
owners and less than 10 years
later the stand was torn down.
Fred’s Tire stands where the cold,
frosty root beer once was served.
The Broaster Hut of Stillwater
opened at the end of April 1970.
Located on the south side of
Highway 36 near the Greeley
Street intersection, the “hut” was
owned by Dave and Mabel Lin-
quist. The new restaurant could
seat 32 people and in addition to
broasted chicken, it served fish
and shrimp, charburgers, Texas
ribs and homemade beans. Gene
Nelson, the first manager, was
previously a chef at the St. Paul
Hilton.A stand-alone building by
the St. Croix Mall was construct-
ed for a Kentucky Fried Chicken
restaurant and opened on Sept.
6, 1972. The general manager,
Gene Duenow, said that the
KFC would employ 15 people
with both on-site and carryout
service. Ross Graves of Austin
designed the building and the
general contractor was Swager
Brothers Construction.
This building has since been
torn down.
On Dec. 6, 1972, McDonald’s
restaurant opened just in front of
the St. Croix Mall, on the south
side of Highway 36. The man-
ager was Dave Ladage of North

Dettmer will not seek re-election

Rep. Bob Dettmer (Forest
Lake) announced on Thursday,
Feb. 17, he is not seeking re-
election in 2022.
“It’s something my wife and
I have been talking about for a
year or so,” Dettmer said.
He has no further plans for
office or another job. He and
his wife — both in their 70s —
are looking to spend more time
with their family (the couple
has eight grandkids), and retire
as snowbirds to Florida.
“I’d like to thank the citizens
in House District 39A for their
support over the years and for
the opportunity to represent
their interests in St. Paul,”
Dettmer said in a press release.
“It has truly been an honor and
a privilege, but after 16 years of
being in the political arena I am
ready to spend more time with
my family.”
District 39A, includes the cit-
ies of Stillwater, Forest Lake,
Marine on St. Croix, Scandia,
and Shafer along with Franco-
nia, May, and Stillwater town-
ships.
Dettmer was first elected in
2006, and focused on veterans

Imperfect, abused confirmation process relies on good faith

The Minnesota constitution
says governors may appoint no-
taries public and “other officers”
with “the advice and consent of
the senate.”
State statute gives the Senate
leeway in its advise-and-consent
authority over executive ap-
pointments, almost all of which
rest with the governor. Senate
committees and the full body
may take them up for confirma-
tion. In most cases appoint-
ments never come up for a floor
vote, and many appointees serve
without any Senate action on
their appointments.
Appointees serve at the
governor’s pleasure — unless
a majority of the Senate votes
otherwise, at a time of its choos-
ing.
That can spell trouble. Con-
firmation power over cabinet
appointments has been increas-
ingly weaponized in the last 20
years, by Senate majorities of
both parties.
It remains under threat from
the Republican-controlled
Senate during Tim Walz’s first
term — in no small part over the
DFL governor’s steps to guard
public health during the CO-
VID-19 pandemic.

Monday, Jan. 30
• At approximately 12:25
a.m., there was a report of
disturbance on the 500 block
of Elm St. W. between two
groups of juveniles in dif-
ferent cars that started near
the area Water and Chestnut
streets in downtown Stillwa-
ter. Both vehicles were fol-
lowing each other through-
out the city streets. Among
the mutual road rage, both
drivers of each vehicle were
stopped and identified. Both
parties were released with no
charges.
• At 1:50 a.m., a Stillwater
officer parked on Main Street
near Nelson Alley observed a
small black van make a left
onto Nelson Street and in
doing so the van hit a truck.
Although the van was driv-
ing at a slow speed it was a
head-on crash. The officer
made contact with the driver
of the van and the occupant
of the truck. Neither party was
injured, however the driver of
the van was identified as a
21-year-old male from Oak
Park Heights who appeared
to be intoxicated with slurred
speech and watery eyes. The
driver was asked to exit the
vehicle and needed the assis-
tance of the vehicle to stand.
A field sobriety test was per-
formed, and he was trans-
ported to Washington County
Jail. At different times on the
way to jail he became agitated
with the officer. He was unco-
operative with both the police
officer and the jail staff. The
21-year-old declined a breath
test. Possible charges will be

• At 11:40 a.m., officers re-
ceived a call from the owner
of a house on the 2000 block
of Marine Circle. The home-
owner was out of town but
received an alert from her
camera that was setup for
her family. She was able to
hear noises on the camera
like footsteps and the sliding
door opening. However, the
camera was knocked over
earlier by a squirrel earlier
so no footage was caught. A
Stillwater Police Officer went
to the woman’s house and
upon looking around did not
find any footsteps in the snow
or anything suspicious. The
officer called the homeowner
back and reported his findings
to her. He also put her camera
back where it belonged.

Addressing the
climate crisis:
It’s now or never
BY SUSTAINABLE
STILLWATER
FOR THE GAZETTE
The climate crisis is
now escalating uncon-
trolled, and will have
major consequences for
all societies, economic
sectors, and ecosystems.
This “climate emergen-
cy” is not just rhetoric, it
is an identifiable scien-
tific fact based on a vast
body of evidence, and
observable in all levels of
society and geographic
regions. The threats from
abrupt and irreversible
climate change means
we must take immediate
action from all sectors.
The Midwest is a
global leader in manu-
facturing, agriculture,
and other resource
intensive industries.
Midwest states emit 32%
of US greenhouse gases.
If these states were one
country, that country
would rank number five
in the world, between
Russia and Japan.
Significant reductions
in our region could have
a huge impact on limit-
ing climate change.
For Minnesota, the
climate crisis will have
significant impacts. We
have four major ecologi-
cal regions: aspen park-
lands, prairie grasslands,
deciduous forest, and
coniferous forest. Evi-
dence is mounting that
tipping points – points
at which an ecosystem
can no longer cope with
environmental change
– are underway globally
and regionally.
Incremental change
in the global record
translates to amplified
change in Minnesota
and Wisconsin.
Minnesota has been
trying to address climate
change for the last 15
years. In 2007, goals
were set to reduce GHG
emissions 15% by 2015
and 30% by 2025. But
we have lagged. Be-
tween 2005 and 2018,
Minnesota saw only
an 8% reduction while
nationally there was a
13% reduction. By state,
Minnesota ranks 24th in
lowest CO2 emissions,
just ahead of Georgia
and Louisiana and just
behind Arizona and
Alabama. During all this
time, public and private
entities have launched
plans and actions to
address the challenges.
But much of this activity
has underachieved on
results.
The good news is we
are seeing signs of in-
creased mobilization and
investment in change.
Sixteen Minnesota
cities recently declared
a climate emergency
and many= others have
undertaken climate ac-
tion planning. Stillwater
has done neither yet,
but our organization is
working to change that.
Also, more and more
private sector initiatives
are underway. We have
many solutions available
already in clean trans-
portation, energy and
buildings, resilient com-
munities, regenerative
agriculture and forestry.
How we react to the
climate crisis will now
shape life on this planet
for centuries to come.
As this crisis escalates,
air pollution, extreme
heat, floods, drought and
other threats will disrupt
our environment, econo-
mies, and communities.
To deny this emergency
is willful ignorance and
injustice to present and
future generations. The
stakes and the extremely
short timetable make it
imperative that we maxi-
mize our individual and
collective actions, start-
ing now. We must not
only walk the talk but
run as fast as we can.

Roy Erhorn Jr.
Roy Erhorn Jr., 97, affec-
tionately referred to as “Bum
or Bummer” died Friday,
February 11, 2022, at Ecumen
Prairie Hill Assisted Living in
St. Peter.
Roy was born to Roy and
Florence (Law) Erhorn on
March 3, 1924, in Oak Park
Heights (Stillwater, MN).
He lived most of his life in
the Stillwater/Bayport area,
moving to St. Peter to attend Gustavus
Adolphus College after serving in the
Marine Corps as a military gunner during
WWII (Midway). He graduated from
Stillwater High School in 1942, college in 1951, was
employed by Minnegasco for 30 years, retiring in
1982. Bum also played centerfield baseball for the St.
Peter town team- “he was one heck of a ball player.”
Roy was a life member of the American Legion and
VFW. Roy married Mary Lou Conroy in 1948- later
divorced.
Roy is survived by four daughters: RoseMarie
“Tootsie” Sulander of Gainesville, FL, Elizabeth
Ann “Woody” (Chuck) Zieman of St. Peter, Patricia
Margaret “Patsy” (Mike) Rambo of Naples, FL and
Kim Louise (Dean) Kleist of Naples, FL.
Roy also is survived by grandchildren: Greg Leissa
Sulander of FL, Christine Sulander-Smith (Shanan)
of FL, Kelly Beaumaster of MN, Annee (Don)
Bennett of FL, Josie Brown of CA, Andy Redning of
St. Peter, Adam Rambo of FL, Eric Rambo of FL,
Matt Rambo of FL, Mitch (JoAnne) Kleist of FL and
JoAnne (Paul) Newman of MN.
In addition to grandchildren, Roy is survived by
great-grandchildren: Gregory, Sara, Ryan Sulander,
JD and Emilee Smith, Kelsey, Lyndsey, Zachary,
Jackson, Rylee, Mason Beaumaster, Hudson
Redning, Quinton Brown, Amelia Rambo, Addison
Rambo, Nyah Martin, Savannah and Abigail Rambo,
Paige and Breck Newman, Benjamin Kleist. Great-
great grandchildren are Dominic Lopez and Isabelle
Cox- they were the beginning of the 5th generation.
Also survived by Roy Erhorn are cousins Bev
Kramer (Stillwater) and Miriam Ness (Shoreview),
Bruce Law (Stillwater), Jim Law (Linda) (Stillwater),
Brudie (Arlan)Rud (WI), Vicki Hanson-Richards
(John) (NY) and many nieces/ nephews and great
nieces/ nephews.
Roy was preceded in death by his parents.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday,
February 25 with visitation one hour prior to the ser-
vice at Simonet Funeral Home, 6429 Osgood Ave. N.,
Stillwater, MN.
Written in the local newspaper (Gazette? Author
unknown) in September, 1942:
“Roy Erhorn...Ah, here’s a man that is a man.
He’s my basketball hero, my football hero, my base-
ball hero. Not only an athlete he is the president of
the Senior high school elected by a solid majority.
Bum, as everyone affectionately calls him, is tall and
blonde with a very impish design to get into trouble.
His grand personality helped him out of many scraps,
though. He’s one all around lad that will never be for-
gotten.”
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us
everyday unseen, unheard but
always near, still loved , still missed , and very dear
Donald Roach
Our cherished Papa, Donald
E. Roach, 82, of Mahtomedi,
found his way to Heaven on
Thursday, February 10, 2022.
He was preceded in death by
son-in-law, Craig R. Vick.
He is survived by his loving
wife of 62 years, Suzanne M.
Roach (Schultz) “Toots”; devot-
ed daughters, Kelly Vick (Steve
Brown), Koleen Roach, Katie
Schoenecker (John), and Kari
Thein (Steve); adored grandchildren, Tina Vick, Jesi
Vick (Ryan Kennedy), Savanna Handevidt (Callum
Campbell), Charlie Thein, Sam Thein, Sophie and
Dominic Hanson; precious great granddaughter, Ali
Kiesow; brother-in-law, Dennis Schultz (Kathryn);
and extended family and friends.
Don graduated from Johnson High School in 1957
and enlisted in the Navy Sea Bees where he served
from 1957 until 1963. He married the love of his life
“Sue” in 1959 and together they raised four daugh-
ters in a home filled with fun, laughter, and love. He
worked at Northwest/Delta Airlines from 1966 to
1996 where his coworkers were his extended family.
Don was an incredible athlete, excelling in base-
ball and hockey. He was a marvel to watch on skates
and if not for an injury, had the promise of a profes-
sional baseball career. He was an avid sportsman who
loved hunting, fishing, and spending time on the golf
course. He was always trolling for walleye, fishing
for crappies, or finding that perfect sunfish hole. He
had all four girls fishing before they could walk and
thought filet knives made excellent Christmas gifts
for each daughter.
He loved to garden and hunt in those years while
raising his family and made sure that the vegetables
and venison were plentiful to feed his family through
the winters. Nothing made him happier than the love
of his family, hugging his grandchildren, and being
together as much as possible. He particularly relished
in fish fry’s and times when the family would gath-
er to make his favorite Polish dishes, Perogies and
Golumpkis.
He suffered debilitating illnesses throughout his
life but never failed to crack a joke to lighten the mo-
ment. He worked hard and loved with all his might.
He was incredibly emotional and would get weepy ev-
ery time he said “I love you” to anyone. His family is
blessed with the gift of his life and forever grateful for
his love. Rest in peace dear dad. You did good!!
A special thank you to all of Don’s doctors and
nurses who cared for him over the years as well as
Lakeview Homecare and Hospice who helped us
through this difficult last week of his life. We couldn’t
have done it without you.
A private Catholic Mass at St. Jude of the Lake will
be held with immediate family. A celebration of life
gathering for family and friends will be announced
at a later date.

Voices of Hope commissions songwriters for prison choir works

Voices of Hope, a prison music organi-
zation operating in the Minnesota Cor-
rectional Facilities at Shakopee and Still-
water, commissioned eight songwriters to
create new choral works for prison choirs.
The project is funded by a grant from
the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council,
according to a press release from Voices
of Hope. The eight composers were se-
lected from a pool of applicants by a
panel of former Voices of Hope singers,
choral conductors, composers and staff.
The songs feature texts by writers incar-
cerated in Minnesota and Indiana, some
of whom are also Voices of Hope singers.
The new works will be premiered by
Voices of Hope choirs.
The eight composers are AJ Isaacson-
Zvidzwa of Woodbury, Emily Feld of
Rosemount, Evgeniya Kozhevnikova of
Gainesville, Jae Kim of Santa Monica,
California; Krystal Folkestad of Rich-
mond, Lara Campbell of Madison, In-
diana; Lizaveta Loban of Minsk, Belarus
and Marya Hart of Minneapolis.
Voices of Hope choirs have not been
able to sing together since the beginning
of the COVID-19 pandemic, the release
states. Voices of Hope staff and volun-
teers have been producing weekly video
programming to be broadcast inside both
the Shakopee and Stillwater facilities dur-
ing this time. These videos feature choral
content including sing-alongs, music edu-
cation and performances from local and
national musicians and choirs.
UMN choirs will record teaching vid-
eos in February and March, 2022. The
dates for the premieres of the new choral
works will be scheduled when Voices of
Hope staff and volunteers are able to re-
enter the facilities and convene choir re-
hearsals.
Voices of Hope is an organization that
builds choral singing communities in cor-
rectional facilities in the state of Min-
nesota. The flagship ensemble, Voices of
Hope-Shakopee, was founded in 2015 by
D Amanda Weber and has grown from 15
to 50 incarcerated singers. In 2019, the or-
ganization expanded to include Voices of
Hope- Stillwater.

Downtown building demolished
The former Washington Federal Bank building on Chestnut Street was torn down last week, around Feb. 8, to make way for a new upscale-, four-story housing development in Stillwater’s down-
town.
Allowing the developer to construct a four story building when the city’s set limit in Historic Height Overlay District is three stories created controversy among citizens and city councilors. The
developer also received a variance to build less than the required numbers of spots and pay a parking mitigation fee.

Late winter ideal time for tree pruning

THE DNR
Late winter is the ideal time to prune
branches on trees, according to experts
with the Minnesota Department of Nat-
ural Resources. When done correctly,
pruning in the winter is less risky to tree
health.
“Now through early March — just be-
fore trees come out of dormancy — is a
great time to get outside and prune your
trees,” DNR Cooperative Forestry Out-
reach Specialist Jennifer Teegarden. “As
trees become active in spring, they are
able to quickly heal the pruning wound.”
Wintertime pruning minimizes the
risk that an open pruning wound could
invite pests or diseases. Pruning oak
trees should be avoided from April
through July, when beetles that can
spread oak wilt are feeding on tree sap,
which is present at new wounds.
Tree pruning tips
• Trim branches before they grow to 2 inches
in diameter to minimize wound size and
damage to the surrounding bark.
• Don’t cut flush to the trunk. Preserving
the branch collar (the area where the trunk
slightly bulges around the branch) allows the
wound to heal quickly and not decay.
• Use the three-cut method for larger
branches to minimize damage to the bark.
In-formation on this method can be found the

Pruning trees benefits yards and homes by:
• Reducing the need for a larger prun-

health.
• Helping trees survive storms with fewer
dropped branches and less damage.
• Improving safety by removing branches
that overhang or block walkways or roads.
• Maintaining the aesthetic of yards and
enhancing the beauty of the tree.

ALPINE SKIING

Steady Ponies place 2nd at state

Neubauer, Gujer and
Fredkove earn all-state
honors for Stillwater

BY STUART GROSKREUTZ
THE GAZETTE
BIWABIK — Undaunted by
a runner-up finish in the Sec-
tion 4 meet, the Stillwater girls
alpine skiing team was strong
throughout the lineup while se-
curing second place in the state
meet on Wednesday, Feb. 16 at
Giants Ridge.
Three Ponies turned in top-20
finishes to earn all-state hon-
ors, but it still wasn’t enough to
catch Minnetonka and its win-
ning total of 156 points. Stillwa-
ter followed with 150 points and
Blake followed in third with 143
points.
This was the seventh straight
state appearance for the Ponies,
who placed fourth a year ago.
This is the third podium finish
since 2018 when Stillwater won
the state title.
“We told the girls don’t worry
about the section, things will
balance out at state and they
just delivered,” Ponies coach
Kevin Neubauer said. “Things
went well today, honestly just a
tad better than we thought. I’m

Season-high total vaults Stillwater to section title

BY STUART GROSKREUTZ
THE GAZETTE
WHITE BEAR LAKE
— Posting the top score
in all four events, the Still-
water gymnastics team
left little doubt while cap-
turing the Section 4AA
championship on Satur-
day, Feb. 12 at White Bear
Lake High School.
The Ponies posted a sea-
son-high score of 148.45
to finish nearly three
points ahead of runner-
up Mounds View/Irondale
(145.65), which also turned
in its top score of the sea-
son. White Bear Lake fol-
lowed in third place with a
score of 141.375.
This will be the second
trip to state in a row for
Stillwater, which has now
qualified in five of the last
six seasons. The state meet
will be held on Feb. 18-19
at Roy Wilkins Audito-
rium in St. Paul, starting
both days at 11 a.m.
Stillwater was remark-
ably consistent while scor-
ing over 37 points in all
four events. The Ponies
have typically scored lower
in bars and beam this sea-
son, but their totals at the
section meet were all with-
in two-tenths of a point.
“We just were consistent
across the board and that’s
all we needed to do,” Po-
nies co-head coach Dusty
Dennis said. “Mounds
View, that was their season
high, so they had their best
meet and they did what
they had to do, too. They
didn’t have the firepower
and weren’t quite as deep
as we were.”
Stillwater received its
highest score in the floor at
37.2, but it’s lowest score
wasn’t far behind at 37.025
in the beam.

this group, they all have to

who’s going to suddenly

really big routine. It de-
pends on all of them to do
their best, and to me that’s
a good thing. It’s what
teamwork is all about.”
Stillwater placed four
individuals among the top
five in the beam, with Ash-
ley Peterson (9.25) and
Evelyn Johnson (9.25) fol-
lowing Rogers in a tie for
third place to advance to
state in that event. Erica
Stanton also qualified for
the individual state meet
after placing fifth with a
score of 9.2.
Peterson (9.625) and
Stanton (9.575) also ad-
vanced to state in the un-
even bars after placing
second and third in the
event. Rogers (9.25) fin-
ished seventh in the event
while Johnson (8.675) was
one spot back in eighth to
complete the scoring.
Liberty Quast (9.7) and
Rogers (9.525) finished 1-2
to lead the Ponies in the
vault. Sofia LaBelle (9.1)
placed seventh and Stan-
ton (8.775) finished in a tie
for 11th.
All five Stillwater gym-
nasts scored in the 9s in
the floor exercise, led by
Rogers in a tie for third
place. Johnson (9.35)
placed sixth to qualify for
state in the event, followed
by teammates Peterson
(9.3) in seventh, Quast
(9.075) in ninth and Stan-
ton (9.025) in 11th.
“Aside from Kendall
who is in all the events,
they all have do their job
and we have different kids
in different areas,” Den-
nis said. “Liberty hit her
vault, Erica had a great
bar routine and they all
hit on floor. Ashley had a
great bar routine and Ev-
elyn Johnson had a great
beam routine.”
The performance im-
proved the team’s previ-
ous high score of 147.9 set

Neubauer said. “They weren’t
able to come up here and com-
pete. We had a very difficult se-
lection to pick the team we did
to do what they did today.”
In fact, the Ponies conducted
their own timed runs on Afton
Alps, Welch Village and Wild
Mountain leading up to the sec-
tion meet and included that with
the season-long results to final-
ize the roster.
“It was the first time we’ve
done that,” Neubauer said.
“There were two girls on this
team that a week-and-a-half ago
were not on the (section) roster.”
With Fredkove and Burns the
only seniors competing at state,
the coach expects the team to
contend against next year.
“I’m just super happy for
them,” Neubauer said. “It’s bit-
tersweet that we have to send off
a couple of seniors, but we have
six or seven dying to get a crack
at one of their spots.”
This marked the first time
the Stillwater boys failed to ad-
vance to state since 2016. The
Ponies finished just a half-point
behind Woodbury in Section 4,
but sophomore Ethan Stabenow
qualified as an individual.
A miscue on his first run put
Stabenow further back, but he
laid down the ninth-fastest time
(38.66) in the field on the second
run to finish 68th overall with a
time of 1:35.77.
“I’m really proud of Ethan,”
Neubauer said.

Stabenow completed the run,
which is required in order to
compete in the afternoon.
“He wanted that second run
and you need that because you
get to have the experience for the
next time you’re up here and he
laid down that time,” Neubauer
said. “It was one of the craziest
combinations of a course I’ve
ever seen and he skied it like a
rock star. He knows how to car-
ry speed.
“We’re very happy with Ethan
and now he’s ready for next year
and has two more years to get
up. He said, ‘Next year I’ll be
ready, but we’re bringing the
Neubauer said. “They keep
this team fed and have a place
to keep them warm in the team
tent. This stuff doesn’t just hap-
pen magically and we’re very
grateful for all that they do.”

NORDIC SKIING

Stillwater boys, girls qualify for state meet

BY STUART GROSKREUTZ
THE GAZETTE
GOLDEN VALLEY — The
Stillwater boys and girls Nor-
dic skiing teams did not have
enough to overtake rival Forest
Lake, but each finished comfort-
ably in second place to earn a
spot in the state field after run-
ner-up finishes in the Section 4
Meet on Thursday, Feb. 10 at
Wirth Park Golf Course.
With four skiers in the top 13,
the Stillwater boys scored 377
points to finish behind reign-
ing state runner-up Forest Lake
(388), but well ahead of third-
place Mounds Park Academy
(345) and fourth-place Spring
Lake Park/St. Anthony (344).
This marks the seventh time
of the past eight years the Po-
nies have qualified for state.
The Stillwater girls placed all
five individuals in the top 18 of
the pursuit, but Forest Lake held
off the Ponies 391-377 for the
section title. Mounds View fol-
lowed in third with 347 points.
Stillwater also finished second
behind the Rangers in the sprint
relay, which counts for 40 per-
cent of the overall team score.
This will be the 17th trip to
state in the last 20 seasons for
the Stillwater girls.
“We were excited to have
both teams advance to the state
meet,” Ponies co-head coach
Torry Kraftson said.
Jonny Saldin set the pace for
the Stillwater boys in the pur-
suit, finishing third with a time
of 26:54.8. Mounds Park Acad-
emy’s Isak Nightingale defend-
ing his individual section title
with a winning time of 26:12.5,
about 24 seconds ahead of run-
ner-up Noah Erickson (26:38.3)
of Forest Lake.
Alex Hulteen was Stillwater’s
second finisher in sixth place
with a time of 28:37.4. Char-
lie Johnson ranked 14th after
the 5-kilometer classical race
in the morning, but climbed all
the way up to 10th after an out-
standing freestyle race to place
10th in the pursuit with a time
of 29:54.3.
John Kubiak (30:17.7) and
eighth-grader George Nelson
(32:04.7) finished 13th and 19th
for the Ponies.
“There were significant time
gaps in the classical results and
the gentle terrain of the first
half of the course made it dif-
ficult to make significant moves,
but our biggest pursuit move in
the skate race came from Char-
lie Johnson,” Kraftson said.
Stillwater’s Bo McBride and
Carson Peterson were in fifth
after the first leg of the freestyle
sprint relay, but climbed up with
a strong surge to finish third in a
time of 11:55.1.
The Stillwater girls received
a third-place finish in the pur-
suit from Lily Ward in a time
of 31:56.8. Forest Lake’s Jordan
Parent took top honors in a time
of 29:51.2, followed by runner-
up Margo Nightingale (30:53.9)
of Mounds Park Academy.
Remarkably, Margo and Isak
Nightingale also qualified to
compete in the alpine skiing
state meet.
Louisa Ward was the No. 2
finisher for the Ponies in eighth
place with a time of 33:43.6,
followed by Annika Fuhrmann
(34:34.3) in 11th place. Eighth-
grader Eloise Powell (35:25.1)
completed the scoring for Still-
water in 17th place while team-
mate Cate Koelzer (36:03.0) was
just one spot back in 18th place.
Stella Powell and Bailey
Holmes were in third place af-
ter the opening leg of the sprint
relay, but climbed up to second
with an overall time of 13:17.4,
finishing behind only Forest
Lake’s Chloe Erickson and Ella
Niznik (12:41.6). The Stillwater
duo finished more than 15 sec-
onds ahead of third-place Sarah
Brings and Maya Tarnowski
(13:32.7) of Mahtomedi.
The top four finishers in the
pursuit and the top relay not
already competing for either of
the qualifying teams, also ad-
vance to the state meet, which
will be held on Feb. 16-17 at Gi-
ants Ridge in Biwabik.
“We look forward to compet-
ing at the state meet,” Kraftson
said.
• The Stillwater Nordic skiing

the Lakeville JV Invitational on
Saturday, Feb. 12 at Kenwood
Trail Middle School in Lakev-
ille.
Stillwater won the ninth-grade
girls and the 11th-12th grade

ing second-place finishes in sev-
eral other divisions.
The Ponies received top-10
showings from Charlie Sander-
son (3rd) and Moses Schollett

BOYS SWIMMING AND DIVING

Ponies finish strong to turn back Roseville in SEC finale

BY STUART GROSKREUTZ
THE GAZETTE
ROSEVILLE — De-
spite finishing first in just
5 of 12 events, Stillwater
held off Roseville for a 97-
85 Suburban East Confer-
ence boys swimming and
diving victory on Thurs-
day, Feb. 10 at Parkview
Center School.
Clinging to a 71-67
lead with just three events
remaining, the Ponies
(8-1 SEC, 8-1) separated
themselves by sweeping
the top three spots in the
100 backstroke and 100
breastroke to secure the
victory.
“Roseville lined up pret-
ty good,” Ponies coach
Brian Luke said. “Coming
out of the 200 free relay
I think we were ahead by
four, but luckily we went
1-2-3 in the back and
breast and blew it apart
there. We don’t have the
world’s greatest depth,
but we had more and they
kind of ran out of person-
nel and we had the ability
to do that (in the back-
stroke and breastroke). It
was competitive.”
The Raiders outscored
Stillwater 10-4 in the 200
freestyle relay. It was a
tight battle for first and
Roseville (1:33.52) pre-
vail by just a hundredth
of a second over the Still-
water team (1:33.53) of
Sam Ciegler, Joey Reiner,
Dylan DeAgazio and
Jaden Petersen.
“You can’t get any clos-
er than that,” Luke said.
“I have not seen in the last
year or two and event that
was just a hundredth of a
second. Both the anchors
had great times, but their
kid won by a fingernail. I
don’t think the human eye
could even pick that up.”
With the Raiders closing
within four points in the
meet, Stillwater responded
quickly and with author-
ity.
Jackson Kogler (55.58),
Nathan Volkman (57.40)
and Nathan Browning
(1:03.65) occupied the
top three spots for the Po-
nies in the 100 backstroke
and teammates Petersen
(1:05.26), Richard Hart-
mann (1:06.65) and Paul
Hartmann (1:09.61) fol-
lowed with a sweep in the
100 breastroke to seal the
victory.
Stillwater started the
meet with a 1-2 finish in
the 200 medley relay, led
by Volkman, Petersen,
Kogler and Ciegler touch-
ing the wall first in a time
of 1:45.16 and Browning,
Paul and Richard Hart-
mann and Cameron Win-
ters holding off the Raid-
ers for second with a time
of 1:52.20.
The Ponies also received
first-place finishes from
Petersen in the 200 indi-
vidual medley with a time
of 2:04.25 and Ciegler in
the 500 freestyle with a
time of 4:59.08.
Stillwater held onto
second place in the over-
all conference standings
behind undefeated East
Ridge (9-0), which de-
feated the Ponies 93-87 on
Jan. 13.
It ended a run of seven
consecutive SEC titles for
the Ponies, who have won
72 of their last 73 confer-
ence dual meets.
“East Ridge is definitely
leaps and bounds ahead of
the rest of us,” Luke said.
“It would have been fun to
win (the conference), but
there’s East Ridge had the
best team in the confer-
ence for sure.”

refresh and everybody is in a good meet,
positive and recharged so I think that
made all the difference.”
Five members of Stillwater’s section
lineup features prior state meet experi-
ence, including Rogers, Stanton, Peterson,
Johnson and Quast.
“All week we’ve been talking and not
thinking about winning, but just hav-
ing a great experience regardless of what
happens,” Dennis said. “It’s just putting
all our cards on the table and walk away
whether we aren’t perfect or win, we just
want to have a great experience and hope-
fully that will lead to success.”
The Ponies will also be well represented
in the individual state meet, but that re-
mains an afterthought until the conclu-
sion of the team competition.
“That’s not a discussion we’re even hav-
ing,” Dennis said. “We’re not about indi-
viduals. We are focused on what can we
do as a team to support each other and
keep the tower standing by everybody do-
ing their part.”
