Page 2 2014 Sauk Centre Visitors Guide
Welcome to Sauk Centre!
Whether youre new to the area
or have been around for awhile,
Id like to invite
you to experience
everything Sauk
Centre has to
ofer. I see Sauk
Centre as having
fve major assets:
location, retail,
facilities, the Lake Wobegon
Trail and last, but not least,
Sinclair Lewis. Alone, some of
these assets may not be strong
enough to consider Sauk Centre
a destination. Combined,
however, they create a pretty
impressive package!
Location centrally located
in the State of Minnesota, Sauk
Centre provides access to three
major roadways: I-94, Hwy. 71
and State Hwy. 28.
Retail we have a diverse
group of retailers in Sauk
Centre. Tere arent many
things you cant fnd here.
Tis guide does a great job of
showcasing our retail businesses
2014
Tis Visitors Guide is published annually by the Sauk Centre Herald, 522 Sinclair Lewis Ave. Sauk Centre, MN 56378 320.352.6577 2014 Sauk Centre Herald

to be awarded the Nobel Prize for
Literature, was born in Sauk Centre on

Sinclair Lewis...
Critics praised him, claiming that
his writing represented the culture of
the 1920s and 1930s. Mark Schorer,
in his exhaustive biography, notes
regarding Lewiss work, American
culture seems always to have had a
literary spokesman, a single writer
who presented American culture
and American attitudes toward its
culture, to the world. Lewis was
that author. The titles of two of his
novels, Main Street and Babbitt,
were introduced into the American
vocabulary. These words developed
their own cultural meanings.
Dr. Sally E. Parry of the
Sinclair Lewis Society
Why is Lewis Important?
For literature, the academy only con-
siders works that have appeared in print
and have been proven by the test of
experience and examination of experts.
An author is chosen for the award not
for one book but for a body of works.
Te fve works that Sinclair Lewis was
awarded the Nobel Prize for include:
Elmer Gantry, Babbitt, Dodsworth,
Arrowsmith and Main Street.
In 1930, Sinclair Lewis became the
frst American to be awarded the Nobel
Prize for Literature.

MINNESOTA HOME SCHOOL FOR GIRLS PROPERTY
National Registry of Historic Districts
Description courtesy of www.placeography.org/ and www.mnhs.org-shpo
Located on the north end of Sauk Centre, this property is now the Eagles Healing Nest, a home for soldiers trying to reintegrate into society.
It was established in 1907 by an act of the legislature as the State Industrial School for Girls, to provide for the care, training and education
of girls who had been declared delinquent and committed by the courts. Te school was built in 1911 as the Minnesota Home School for Girls.
Architect Clarence H. Johnston, Sr. incorporated Colonial and Classical Revival elements into the buildings. Te school facility then included
an administration building, hospital, chapel, pumping plant, farm building, and cottages to house 160 girls.
Girls who had been inmates at the State Training School for Boys, later the Red Wing State Training School, were transferred to the facility.
All of the policies of the State Training School in Red Wing relating to inmate commitment, education, training and general operations were
applied to the Home School for Girls as well. Girls were committed when convicted by the court of any crime, except that of murder, which
was punishable by imprisonment. Entering inmates ranged in age from eight to sixteen years, and remained at the school until they reached
age twenty-one, or were discharged.
Girls received common school education and instruction in sewing, cooking, laundering, general housework skills and farming. Te
buildings on the property considered as having historical signifcance include the Alcott Cottage; the Richard Cottage; the Stowe Cottage; the
Sullivan Cottage; Morse Hall; the chapel; Lind Cottage; Sinclair Lewis Hall; Evers Cottage; the equipment garage; the
horse barn; the machine shed; Mary Lyon Annex; Mary Lyon School; Pettit Cottage; the maintenance building; the
chapel garage; the lake cottage; and the root cellar. Other buildings include the fne arts building; the Tekakitha
Cottage; the DuBois Cottage; Senator Popp Building; the bungalow garage; and the storage garage.

Fun on the Lakes
Tere are numerous lakes in the area that provide ample opportunities for all types
of water recreation in summer and fshing year round.
Big Sauk Lake is a dynamite lake for anglers. It is the Sauk Centre areas largest lake, beginning
in Sauk Centre and running 10 miles north. Te Sauk River Dam is located just of Main Street
north of downtown and serves as a popular fshing destination for anglers.
Fairy Lake Chain Located four-and-a-half miles northwest of Sauk Centre, this chain of
lakes consists of Fairy Lake, Lily Lake and Long Lake. Tis chain serves as a popular spot for
water sports, and includes the areas nicest beach for swimming. Te fshing is good on these
lakes as well.
Guernsey Lake Chain Another hot spot for anglers, this chain is 6 miles north of Sauk Cen-
tre and consists of Guernsey Lake, Long Bridge Lake, Long Lake,
Juergens Lake and McCormick Lake.
Did You Know?
Sauk Centre ofers the best in lake recreation, whether it is canoeing down the
Sauk River, tubing or water skiing on Fairy Lake, or fshing for bass and walleye on
Sauk Lake.
Not many small towns can ofer such a variety of options for lake enthusiasts.
Fairy Lake is home of Fairy Lake Beach and Lions Park and is a popular spot for
beach goers, water skiers and jet skiers. Te fshing isnt too shabby either and
produces panfsh, walleye and northern.
Te Sauk River is located below the dam in Sauk Centre and is a popular spot
for anglers as well as canoers.
And then there is Sauk Lake, one of the best bass lakes in Minnesota. Every
year trophy-sized bass are caught on Sauk Lake, which is home to an every-other-
year bass fshing tournament.
But bass isnt the only species this large body of water produces. Te lake is also
a good panfsh lake with a good crappie and sunfsh bite. Te crappies are especially
strong in the winter months, and Sauk Lake is a popular spot for anglers to plant
their ice shacks. Te walleye bite has also improved thanks to a stocking efort
several years ago. And there are plenty of trophy northern swimming along the
channels. It is not uncommon for an angler to pull a 15- to 20-pound fsh out of the
Sauk Lake waters.
Tere are several resorts on Sauk Lake that are clean, afordable and friendly.
So if you are planning a vacation where youd like to have the best of recreation
and angling, Sauk Centre is the place to be.

Dave Bromenshenkel isnt happy
with losing a large section of his
woods for the CapX2020 project
Local landowner Dave Bromenshenkel looks out over a 150-foot swath of land that used to be lled with hundred-plus-year-
old trees, but had to be cleared to make room for transmission lines as part of the CapX2020 project running from Fargo to
Monticello.
Gabe Marthaler is winning the ght for his life
M

?
Dave Bromenshenkel
bought a section of wooded
land about three miles east
of Sauk Centre along County
Road 186 in 1980.
He has enjoyed the
woods ever since, taking na-
ture walks, building a cross-
country ski trail and hunting
wildlife.
But last week chainsaws
buzzed and heavy machinery
tore apart a 150-foot swath of
the woods he shares with an-
other landowner as part of the
CapX2020 project. In place
of the 100-plus-year-old red
oak, white oak and ash trees
will be large 340kv transmis-
sion lines.
I just dont understand
why they couldnt stay along
the highway, said Bromen-
shenkel, a retired farmer.
Theyre pushing it out into
private land and Im upset the
woods have to go.
Bromenshenkel has about
80 acres of woods and guesses
he will lose upwards of 1,000
large and mature trees due to
the project,
A lot of landowners
are opposed to this, he said.
They are taking private land
for public use and it just isnt
fair when there is a different
way to do it. A lot of these
trees are 150 to 175 years old.
Thats when the Indians were
here yet.
In addition to his 80 acres
is another 120 acres of hard-
wood forest, something that is
rare in this part of the state.
You just dont see large
sections of woods like this
around these parts anymore.

began in 2007. The project is
now in phase two of construc-

phase runs from St. Cloud
to Alexandria and the third
phase from Alexandria to the

Theres an old saying that
its not the size of the dog in the
ght, its the size of the ght in
the dog.
That is certainly true in
Gabe Marthalers case. Born at
23 weeks and six days to par-
ents Adam and Pam Marthaler,
Gabe measured one pound,
four ounces and was only 11
inches long. His chances of
survival were slim as only one
in ve babies born before 24
weeks survive.
But Gabe Marthaler is a
ghter, and so far he is winning
the battle. Little Gabe came
home on Dec. 29 after 116 days
in the hospital to the welcom-
ing arms of his loving parents.
We were so happy, said
Adam, a 1999 graduate of Sauk
Centre High School. That day
couldnt come fast enough for
us.
While that day is one of
the best of his life, it capped
the scariest moment of his life.
Pam, who is originally from
Sartell (the couple now lives in
Albany where Adam is a teach-
er), was having a normal preg-
nancy when her stomach began
to hurt. She scheduled a check
up and doctors noticed her
blood pressure was alarmingly
high and immediately trans-
ferred her to St. Cloud Hospital
for monitoring and medication
to try and bring the blood pres-
sure down. The condition is
known as Preeclampsia. Doc-
tors told the couple that if the
medication didnt work they
would have to induce labor.
Time was running out as Pam
was getting sicker and the Se-
vere Preeclampsia soon turned
into HELLP Syndrome, which
is when the body poisons itself.
That meant the baby would
have to be delivered by emer-
gency C-Section. Otherwise,
both mom and baby would die.
Everything was happening so
fast, said Adam. This was the
last thing I was thinking when
we went to the clinic that after-
noon.
Just ve hours after that
routine visit, nurses informed
Adam that his baby boy was
born and that mom was improv-
ing. He got to see Gabe about a
half hour later.
The local chapter of the
Blue Star Mothers has bro-
ken away from the national
Blue Star Mothers group.
Of cials for the local
chapter said it has nothing to
do with anything the nation-
al organization did, but that
they would like to branch
off on their own so they can
spend less time with paper-
work and more time sup-
porting the troops.
We are nding we are
spending so much of our
time doing the bureaucrat-
ic things, said Blue Star
Mother Sherry Olson. With
all of us being volunteers
there isnt a lot of time left
over to do the good things
we want to do.
Olson said the Blue Star
Mothers will likely change
their name and seek non-
pro t status. While they go
through the transition she
said people can still donate
to the local Blue Star Moth-
ers Chapter.
We just want to have
more time to do the stuff
we want to do, Olson said.
We just decided we could
do better on our own.
Olson said the Blue Star
Mothers is a wonderful orga-
nization and that by branch-
ing off on their own, the lo-
cal chapter does not want to
send the wrong message and
not have people support the
Blue Star Mothers organiza-
tion.
It is a great organiza-
tion, she said. We were
just spending more time on
their watch than on ours.

A lengthy presentation
and discussion on the second-
ary school registration pro-
cess was held at last Tuesday
nights Sauk Centre School
Board meeting. A large crowd
of over 25 was on hand at the
senior high media center.
Secondary principal Be-
linda Selfors gave the board a
21-page printout of a Power-
point slideshow she explained
throughout the rst 90 minutes
of the meeting. It explained in
depth the scheduling process
as well as rates of how often
students got into the elective
classes they wanted.
The registration discus-
sion was prompted by a hand-
ful of parents wondering why
their children had problems
getting the elective classes
they wanted.
All year long we analyze
scheduling issues, Selfors
explained as she reviewed
the timeline for class registra-
tion. Weve had bumps and
challenges with the switch to
a ve-period day that weve
been working through.
Selfors pointed out that
many issues will be dealt
with at the upcoming Jan. 21
In Service day, when teach-
ers will review and update the
course registration packet for
the 2013-14 year. That packet
will be distributed to students
and their parents in February.
We encourage parent
involvement when students
begin choosing their course
selections with primary and
alternate requests, Selfors
said.

Approximately
250
people gathered at the Sauk
Centre Country Club last Sat-
urday to honor the life of Pat
DuBois, who passed away
Jan. 7 at the age of 97.
Pat DuBois was most
well known for his career at
First State Bank and his inter-
est in politics, which led him
to serve three terms in the
House of Representatives. He
was also a volunteer re ght-
er for 30 years.
But DuBois was also a
simple man who loved simple
things, and was a champion
for the little guy. His philan-
thropy not only stretched the
plains and prairies of Central
Minnesota, but affected the
far reaches of the world. He
stepped forward, many times
privately and without fanfare,
to offer support for both local
projects and national
disasters such as the
tsunami and Hurricane
Katrina.
Locally he was in-
strumental in the main-
tenance and upkeep of
the Bryant Library and
was a xture at Sauk
Centre Country Club.
Its dif cult to en-
capsulate such a full
life of many years into
a few paragraphs as
DuBois seemed
to be involved
in so much. His
grandson, Tyler
Carlson, provided
the eulogy at Sat-
urdays informal
gathering and said:
Pat DuBois was
many things to
many people. Fa-
ther. Grandfather.
Husband. Brother.
Uncle. Farmer.
Banker. Athlete. Politician.
Fire ghter. Outdoorsman.
Philanthropist. Conservation-
ist. Irishman and St. Pattys
Day enthusiast. Democrat.
Staunch Democrat. Be-care-
ful-arguing-politics-with-me-
because-you-will-not-change-
my-mind-Democrat. Mentor.
Guide. Storyteller. Friend.
As such, in consider-
ing the life of Grandpa Pat, it
is impossible to separate the
banker from the farmer from
the father from the friend. It
seems equally impossible,
however, to speak to all of
these roles, particularly when
talking of a man with so many
talents and interests who lived
97 rich and active years.
Tyler talked about his
grandfathers love for the land
and his love for the game of
golf. Pat grew up on a farm
