Lights, camera, action in Maple Lake
Although the details of the
filming project are still very
“hush-hush,” it’s hard to hide
movie cameras in Maple Lakeeven on a Sunday morning.
Action outside Maple Lake
Bowl caught the attention of
church-goers and visitors leaving
the Legion’s annual pancake
breakfast early Sunday morning
as film crews from Love American Journeys, LLC prepared to
shoot a pilot for a possible reality
show featuring Maple Lake Bowl
owner, Amy Koch, tentatively
named “American Journeys.”
Above, Left: This sign greeted visitors to The Pines Bowling Alley in Maple Lake, Sunday, Sept. 20, where Love American Journeys, LLC was filming a reality television show
involving bowling alley owner, Amy Koch. Above, Right: The weapons at what was
being dubbed “Minnesota’s Lil’est Gun Shop” for the show drew several local gun enthusiasts who came to watch the Vikings’ home opener, in front of the cameras Sunday,
to admire the merchandise or make purchases.

Above: Crews took some shots of the outside of the local business before heading inside to continue shooting. Very little more is known about the reality show which appears to be a CBS production. Crews slipped in and out Sunday without revealing too
much information. Left: Lanora Glazier, front, and Carol Cantin, back, apply makeup to
Scott Paumen before entering the filming area where the reality show, tentatively named
“American Journeys,” was being filmed. Paumen was one of several local people to
appear before the cameras. Glazier was later filmed as a background bowler.

Minnesota state
parks report big
increase in visitors
A post-Labor Day report
from the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources shows a
significant increase in the number of people buying permits
and staying overnight at Minnesota state parks and recreation
areas in 2015 compared with
2014. Erika Rivers, director of
the DNR’s Parks and Trails Division, expects the upward trend
to continue as fall color spreads
across the state.

The Maple Lake Library was
established in 2009 by a group
of motivated and determined
people who thought it was important to have a public library
in Maple Lake. After being
turned down by the Great River
Regional Library system in
2006, the volunteer group
turned their efforts to opening a
library on their own, beginning
with a request to the public for
new and gently used books.
The group collected over
thirty thousand books from all
over Wright County and the

dream of a library in Maple
Lake seemed suddenly possible. Three years later, the dream
became a reality and the Maple
Lake Library opened its doors
for the first time.
This year’s fundraiser is
shaping up to be bigger and better than ever and will include a
silent and live auction, a catered
dinner, a social hour, wine pull,
and live music from Joe
Thomas and Robin Aeshliman.
The cash raffle tickets are
the bargain of the evening at
only a dollar apiece. “It’s
cheaper than most things people buy in a week,” said library

board member Terry Mooney.
“And this comes with a chance
to win great prizes!”
This year’s fundraiser will
be held at the American Legion
Club in Maple Lake on Saturday, October 3, from 5-9 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased at
the library, the American Legion Club, Irish Blessings Coffeehouse, the Maple Lake
Messenger, and Star Bank.
If you would like to donate
to the Maple Lake Library or
volunteer in helping with the library, contact at (320) 9633389 or tandpmooney@gmail

Brute’s
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
George Palmer and I tried fishing in the strong south wind on Indian Lake last week Tuesday afternoon and the biggest problem we
had was holding the boat on a spot we wanted to fish. We got out
about 2:30 p.m. and fished the south shore when the wind gusts
were just too strong on the west end of the lake. We caught sunnies
there, but mostly small ones in the shallow water. About 4:30 the
wind seemed to have gone down a little and we headed for the west
end and anchored in about 15 feet of water. It took several more anchoring attempts to find some weeds to help keep us from blowing
off the spot. The bite wasn’t fast, but we had 15 between us when
we started discussing whether we wanted to fillet them or release
them for another day. We both have fish in our freezers and releasing them won out! That wasn’t the first time we have released our
catch, but it makes sense if you don’t really need them. It’s something bass and muskie anglers do all the time, so why not panfish
fisherpeople? I visited with a friend, Richard Cloeter, an ardent panfish guy from my home town (Henning), on Friday and he said he
hasn’t been able to find any decent sunfish for a month even though
he fishes often. I suggested 14-17 feet which he was going to try.
He and his wife (Kathy) and another classmate (Harlan Syverson)
from Eden Prairie and I were attending the funeral of a good friend
(Lenora “Nory” Johnson), a high school classmate in South St.
Paul. Fortunately for me, Ed Pawlenty gave me some directions on
how to get there, a place I hadn’t visited since Nory and her husband, Frank (also deceased), observed their 50th wedding anniversary about 13 years ago. Anyway, the four of us took time to plan a
65th high school class reunion to keep alive a tradition to have one

Greased
Landings
by Kent Peterson - N55623
What does it feel like to fly
like a bird? Well, you can get a
pretty good feeling by flying an
ultralight airplane, and Doug
Ouverson of Maple Lake knows
the feeling well; he and his wife,
Joann, are the owners of two ultralights, hangared at the Maple
Lake Airport (MGG), and have
logged about two hundred hours
of flight time in them.
Doug first got interested in
aviation at the tender age of
seven as he watched his neighbor, Rex, flying his Cub around
their Fertile, Iowa, home, doing

loops and other antics that a boy
would find fascinating. But flying lessons would have to wait
as the boy grew to manhood and
family responsibilities took priority over taking flying lessons.
It was a wait of about fifty-seven
years, but he finally took instruction at the airport in Clear Lake
in a two-passenger plane, from
an instructor who was well into
his eighties. Finally, Doug was
ready for his solo flight (no instructor in the plane) in a single
seat ultralight he built himself,
but of course, had never flown.

The Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
Wife said the other day,
“There's a bad odor coming
from the basement. Do you
think we have a dead mouse
down there?” She has remarkable olfactory talents and can
usually tell if I had onions last
weekend or if I need to change
socks. On the other hand, I don't
know if that was a skunk on the
road until well after she has
opened all the windows.
Our basement isn't a very attractive place. It's not the kind
of place you would want to use
as a recreation room—unless
you are a mouse. In fact, only
about a quarter of the space
under the house is a real basement, with an overhead door
originally meant for boat storage. The rest is crawl space. We

have found dead creatures there,
and have set various kinds of
traps to catch them. Once we
even caught a frog in one of the
traps.
I set about to locate the offensive smell, as Wife reminded
me that we were hosting a dozen
people from church the next
day, and she preferred not to
smell a dead mouse.
Once in a similar situation I
found the mouse under my
workbench. The bench had a
previous life as a kitchen cabinet and was now hideously
messy, since I last cleaned it
about ten years ago. I had accumulated a couple dozen paint
cans in it, along with screws,
nails, plumbing parts, and electrical parts. On top was a heavy

every five years. There were 40 in our class and 19 are still alive.
We plan to meet in Wadena Oct. 6 at noon which suited me just
fine. I can take Vanna with and do some ruffed grouse hunting later
that afternoon. On Saturday morning I attended the funeral of a
cousin, Ken Brutlag, who was a grocer for most of his life in Henning. He didn’t let the grocery business keep him from fishing and
hunting, and his boys said they had him out fishing about two years
ago for the last time. One son, Gerald, lives in Grand Rapids, MN
and when our conversation turned to hunting he commented he’s
seeing some ruffed grouse, but not very many. Locally Bill Pilger
exchanged verbal notes at H & H Sport Shop and said he planned
to take his dog out over the weekend north of Duluth where he has
been hearing some drumming. That season opened last Saturday
and I don’t have anything to report whether it was a good opener
or not. Another friend, Frank Johnson, was at the Saturday funeral
and he let me in on the local fishing scuttlebutt. He’s an ardent walleye angler and commented fall fishing is getting better on Ottertail
Lake, one of the premier walleye lakes in that county. He caught
his limit (6) in the evening earlier that week and figures catching
larger fish will only get better in the next several weeks. That more
or less tells me it’s time to head up to Koronis and give that lake a
try. I didn’t see much for wildlife on the trip to Henning, but there
was one adult eagle feeding on a raccoon road kill near Ottertail. It
apparently was pretty hungry and moved onto the shoulder when
we drove by. There were about eight turkeys out feeding near
Wadena, but that was about it! I noticed the soybeans looked more
mature and the Ottertail County farmers were already combining
soybeans. Edible beans is another crop raised in that area and they
are also being harvested.

This weekend kicks off the duck hunting season which I usually
reserve as a time to think about taking off the screens and putting
on the storm windows. I’m wondering if there are any other residents in Maple Lake who go through the same age-old ritual twice
a year. I know Jack Borell on Ramsey Lake does the same thing.
Fortunately our house is a one-story rambler.

“After I took off, I realized
that flying the plane was more
than I expected,” he exclaimed.
“I flew around in the airport pattern, but when I went to land, I
bounced the plane off the runway and into the air. At that
time, I knew I couldn’t continue
the landing and had to go
around, so I applied full power
and flew back up to pattern altitude. As I approached the runway again, I thought, I’m going
to get hurt today!”
The second time was better,
and he landed and stopped the
plane. “There was grass hanging
from the right wingtip, and I
knew there was a God in
heaven.” A man who was watching walked up to him and said,
“I couldn’t believe you tried to
fly this plane in this wind. When
you bounced and applied the

power, you were off the runway
higher than the hangar door!”
He now has two ultralights: a
40 hp green CES Hawk (the solo
flight plane) and a 50 hp black
and orange Skyraider. “I enjoy
the ultralights,” he said. “I can
maintain them myself. I usually
fly within a sixty-mile radius of
Maple Lake, in light winds.”
Why the move from Winsted’s grass airstrip to Maple
Lake? “I would rather fly from a
grass airstrip, but this airport is
very close to our home.” So,
about two years ago he bought
the old Maple Lake Airport FBO
(flight base operation) building
and settled in. On a still morning
or evening, you might hear the
sound of a small engine above
you. Wave; it’s probably Doug.
Until next month, stay out of
the trees!

tool box, deck screws, and my
cork collection. Also on top was
a single file cabinet loaded with
papers. In searching for the
smell, I had removed a bunch of
old newspapers from a footlocker and spread them around
on the floor to be stored elsewhere.
A retiree's best friend is a
lever, since we retirees seem to
get weaker day by day. I had
two dandy levers nearby; an old
dock post and a heavy six-foot
steel rod. Using the rod, with all
my might I was able to raise one
end of the workbench a few
inches. I slid the dock post underneath with my foot so I could
use a leaf blower as a corpse
finder, causing the drawer to
open just enough to slide off the
bench. The lever let the bench
tip, opening the doors underneath. Paint cans rattled out.
The file crashed to the floor. The
bench shook itself back in place,
but the floor was covered with
junk, papers, cans, tools, dirt,
bugs, bottles, clamps, nails,

screws, pencils, bolts, washers,
wires, everything but a mouse
corpse. No mouse was found
under the bench.
My priority changed from a
mouse hunt to garbage collection. Opening the overhead door
helped get rid of the smell, and
gave me a way to get rid of the
trash. After only a few hours,
the floor re-emerged and I could
sweep out the remaining dirt
and bugs except for the part
stuck to my clothes.
Long ago I found mouse remains in a crawl space after
crawling around for an hour or
two. They don't seem to smell
when dry. I think that fate had
met the recent mouse. Maybe it
got swept out with the bugs and
dirt and washers and screws and
nails. Nobody from church
seemed to notice any problems
while they were upstairs. We did
hear some colorful mouse stories from them, though, after recounting my work with levers.
Basements really ought to be
cleaned from time to time.

Letter to the Editor:
In July, Lake Chapter of A.B.A.T.E. of Minnesota (American
Bikers for Awareness, Training & Education) held their annual “Bike
Show” at Camp Friendship in Annandale and for the first time also
held a Bike Show at Camp Courage in Maple Lake. These events
were attended by many happy campers and their chaperones. Our
members that brought their motorcycles had just as much fun and
left with big smiles. These are both great camps and we have supported them by sponsoring a camper each year for over 20 years.
A.B.A.T.E. of MN is a non-profit organization that promotes the
positive actions of motorcyclists and keeps up-to-date on legislative
issues affecting motorcycling. Lake Chapter activities are generally
held just west of the Twin Cities. We are very proud of our members
and encourage others to help out when they can. Anyone interested
in more information on A.B.A.T.E. of Minnesota can contact the
current Lake Chapter President, Keith Efron at 612-703-5755

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Neil Dickenson
Q: Does traffic have to wait
for someone on a bicycle trying to cross at an intersection?
A: Bicyclists and motorists
are equally responsible for
safety on the road. The number
one contributing factor to bicycle-vehicle collisions is failure
to yield the right-of-way — by
bicyclists and drivers alike.
If the bicyclist is off their bicycle at an intersection and
walks across, they have all the
rights at the intersection as a
pedestrian would. Motorists
must stop for crossing pedestrians at every intersection, even
those without crosswalks or
stoplights. Motorists should stop
far enough back so drivers in
other lanes can also see the
pedestrian in time to stop.
Those riding a bicyclist must
obey all traffic control signs and
signals, just as motorists.
Bicycle-vehicle collisions are
due to a variety of behaviors by
the rider, such as disregarding a
traffic sign or signal, inattention
and distraction.
Each year in Minnesota, approximately 40 pedestrians and
7 bicyclists are killed as a result
of collisions with motor vehicles.
• As a group, pedestrians and
bicyclists comprise nearly 10
percent of all traffic fatalities
each year —67 percent of these
fatal crashes occur in urban
areas.
• 40 percent of pedestrians
and 21 percent of bicyclists
killed had consumed alcohol.
• 19 percent of pedestrians
killed were not crossing properly.

Maple Lake

Rules of the
Road and Safety Tips
Bicyclists may ride on all
Minnesota roads, except where
restricted.
Bicyclists should ride on the
road, and must ride in the same
direction as traffic.
Motorists must at all times
maintain a three-foot clearance
when passing a bicyclist.
Bicyclists must signal their
turns and should ride in a predictable manner.
Bicyclists must use a headlight and rear reflectors when it's
dark. To increase visibility, add
a rear flashing light.
Motorists must drive at safe
speeds and be attentive — look
for bicyclists and check blind
spots.
Drivers should use caution
and look twice for riders when
turning.
Drivers should use caution
when opening door upon parking on side of road.
This is a great question and
topic to talk about. I have seen
an increase in bicycles on our
roadways, so we all need to be
extra cautious to prevent bicycle/pedestrian collisions with vehicles.

Wright County to honor those impacted by suicide
by John Holler
Correspondent

Few things in life are as a
tragic and impactful as suicide.
From the victim to those loved
ones left behind, the result of
suicide is widespread and profound. At the Sept. 15 meeting
of the Wright County Board of
Commissioners, Court Services
Director Mike MacMillan came
before the board to request that
those families impacted by men-

tal health be honored.
“Our request is a simple
one,” MacMillan said. “We’re
requesting approval to purchase
a bench on behalf of suicide
awareness, which is this month.
It is a way to celebrate and
honor those who have lost loved
ones, friends and family to suicide and mental illness.”
There will be no cost to the
county for the bench, which
would be placed on the county

courthouse site as part of September’s national Suicide
Awareness Month. Commissioner Mark Daleiden said he
knew of three spots on the courthouse property that would be
good locations for the memorial.
The board unanimously approved authorizing MacMillan
and his staff to proceed with the
purchase of the memorial bench
and to work with County Coordinator Lee Kelly to determine a
location for the bench.
Commissioner Charlie Borrell said he hopes the bench will
serve as a reminder to those with

depression or mental health issues that there is an alternative
to suicide and that there are
services out there for those who
are contemplating taking the
tragic final step to end their
pain.
“The message that we want
to get out is to not be afraid to
ask for help,” Borrell said.
“There is help available and it
works. The stigma of not asking
for help is what we need to overcome.”

Scam advisory
Wright County Sheriff Joe
Hagerty would like to remind
local residents to be wary of unscrupulous contractors using
pressure tactics and deceit to sell
their driveway repair services.
Law enforcement agencies continue to receive reports of contractors collecting money up
front without completing repairs,
starting repairs without permission, or offering free services
and reduced cost services due to
leftover material only in the end
to bill home owners several
thousand dollars over the negotiated price.
To help prevent yourself from

falling victim to one of these
scams, the Wright County Sheriff’s Office recommends working with established companies,
asking for references, verifing
references, getting multiple estimates, and to be cautious of
companies requesting payment
up front.
If you believe you have been
a victim of a scam or have information on a contractor using
these tactics, please contact your
local law enforcement. In an
emergency call 911; the Wright
County Sheriff’s Office nonemergency number is 763-6821162.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into
nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must
fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in
which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already
provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier
it gets to solve the puzzle!

In Loving Memory of
Donna Sawatzke
who has been gone for 2 years
by her family

A million times I’ve
needed you
A million times I’ve cried
If love alone could have
saved you
You never would have died
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place
No one else can ever fill
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

Rachel’s Challenge
Community Event
While her life was tragically
cut short during the Columbine
High School shooting on April
20, 1999, Rachel Joy Scott’s
shining example of kindness and
compassion was not defeated
that day. Come hear the inspiring true story of one girl’s dream
being fulfilled over a decade
after her death. The presentation
is a powerful reminder of the little things we can do every day to
make the world a better place.
September 23rd, 7 p.m., at
the high school auditorium
* During the elementary assembly, students learned about a
young girl named Rachel. However they did not hear about the
Columbine tragedy or Rachel’s
death.
Recommended audience: 6th
grade and up.

Powder Puff / He-Man
games kick off
Homecoming Week
Homecoming Week starts off
on Sunday, October 4, when the
“Jurassic Juniors” take on the
“Smash Hit Seniors” for the annual Powder Puff / Heman
games. The fun begins at 2:30
p.m. when the junior and senior
girls hit the field at Irish Country
Stadium for a friendly game of
touch football.
Immediately following the
girls’ game, all juniors, seniors
and their immediate families are
invited to the high school cafe-

teria for a potluck dinner. Beverages, plates and utensils will be
provided.
At 5:30 p.m. the junior and
senior boys will meet up on the
high school gym floor for what
is sure to be a close match of HeMan volleyball.
Admission to the games is
open to the public and the cost
for both events is $3 per person,
or $2 per person with a canned
food item. Children under 5 will
be admitted to the games for
free. Food items will be donated
to Maple Lake’s Backpack Buddies program, and the money
collected is used by Irish PATHS
to cover the cost of expenses,
and for support of the MLHS
students and staff.
Parents who need to sign up
for the potluck, or have questions, are asked to contact Paula
Schmidt
immediately
at
763.878.134; 763.245.0608 or
by

Post Prom dinners

The V by HH will be hosting
the Post Prom dinners on
Wednesday evenings from 5-7
p.m.; the first on Oct. 7. Future
meal dates are Nov. 4, Feb. 3,
2016, March 2, 2016, and April
6, 2016. Meals include a choice
of entree, a healthy option and
kids meals. Door prizes are also
awarded. All proceeds support
the all night lock-in Post Prom
party.

“We are anticipating a lot of
visitors at parks this fall, enjoying good weather and fall colors,” she said.
The new report shows that
year-to-date (Jan. 1-Sept. 7)
sales of one-day permits in 2015
are up 16 percent over the same
time period in 2014, and sales of
year-round permits are up 12
percent. Overnight stays also
are up by 9 percent compared
with last year. These results continue the trend of steady increases over the past several
years.
Earlier data showed that, between fiscal year 2013 (July 1 to
June 30) and fiscal year 2015:
Sales of one-day vehicle permits ($5) increased 24 percent.
Sales of year-round vehicle
permits ($25) increased 19 percent.
Overnight stays increased 13
percent.
“We’re pleased to see such a
significant increase in the number of people making time to get

outdoors,” said Rivers, “and we
hope today’s visitors will pass
along their love of the outdoors
to the next generation so that the
trend continues.”
To appeal to that next generation, the Parks and Trails Division has added mountain bike
trails, yurts and Wi-Fi at state
parks. It also has added kayak
and stand-up paddleboard
rentals, free use of fishing kits
and GPS units, and a series of I
Can! programs that teach beginners how to camp, fish, rock
climb, paddle and more. New
outreach strategies include
touch-screen kiosks, social
media and a variety of online
trip-planning tools, including
virtual tours and ParkFinder,
which sorts parks by desired
features, such as whether they
have a beach, a bike trail and
naturalist programs.
“Legacy funding has made
many of these updates possible,” Rivers said. The Parks and
Trails Fund, created after voters
approved the Clean Water, Land
and Legacy Amendment in November 2008, receives 14.25
percent of the three-eighths percent sales tax revenue that may
only be spent to support parks
and trails of regional or
statewide significance.

tion. The very last clue is at the

treat to help us cool off, freezies.
Another favorite activity that is
done is something they have
done in kindergarten, too. Go
Noodle is a website that helps
students do movements or activities to get their body and brain
ready to learn and to get the wig-

gles out. We do this before important instruction times to make
sure they are ready to learn. We
have done a few art projects this
year that are tied to an even bigger project that will be sent home
around Christmas, they are very
excited about this. In math we
have reviewed numbers to 12.
We have done many different activities with this and have learned
new games, too.

With the expectation of
downward adjustment in coming months, the Maple Lake
School Board has approved the
maximum allowable 2015 tax
levy (payable in 2016) at
$2,779,758.87. With the current
levy set at $2,446,698.45, this
would raise the levy by
$333,060.42, for a 13.6 percent
increase.
Each year the district approves its levy at the maximum
amount in September before refining its numbers and presenting a final figure in December.
At the board’s most recent
meeting, Monday, September
14, Superintendent Mark Redemske characterized that final
number as “a moving target,”
explaining that although paperwork at the state level remains
to be completed, approval of a
preliminary levy is due before
the board’s next meeting.
In the absence of Boardmembers Shelly Liljequist, Ben
Elsenpeter and Joe Mavencamp, those present – Board
Chair Arnie Michalicek and
Boardmembers
Shelly
McAlpine, Rick Thomas and
Joe Paumen – voted unanimously to approve the maximum allowable amount, which
can be lowered in coming

months but not raised.
In a Messenger article describing the school district’s
proposal for new operating and
projects levies, published
Wednesday, August 19, it was
erroneously reported that the
district has a policy of keeping
six months’ worth of expenses
on hand. The actual target
amount is six weeks’ worth of
expenses, and the error is regretted.
On the topic of the levy proposals, Redemske demonstrated an addition to the
district’s
Web
site
(www.maplelake.k12.mn.us)
that enables voters to calculate
personal tax impact of the referendum for any single address
in the school district. Found on
the site’s homepage, midway
down the left-hand column, the
feature is titled “November 3rd
Referendum,” and also contains a link to further information on the proposed levies.
Regarding other matters on
the evening’s agenda, the
board:
• Reviewed enrollment numbers, which offer cause for
some optimism. At the end of
June, the district had 417 elementary students and around
460 at the high school. Opening
day enrollment this year had
perhaps an unprecedented bal-

ance of 432 students at each of
the elementary and high school
levels. While high school numbers fell short of projections,
elementary numbers exceeded,
with enrollment increases in
every grade but second, making
for a district-wide increase of
19 students. “If you’re going to
grow,” Redemske commented,
“elementary is a good place to
grow.”
• Adopted a resolution appointing Maureen Donohue,
Doris Anderson, Vicki Gries,
Marge Peterson, Sue Boros,
Jenny Polsfuss, Lee Ann Yager
and Elizabeth Borell as election
judges for the school district’s
special election November 3.
These election judges will act
as clerks of election, count the
ballots cast and submit the results to the school board for
canvass. Donohue will also
serve on an absentee ballot
board with Kristi Anderson and
Heidi Goelz.
• Accepted donations that included $500 to the Backpack
Buddies
program,
gifted
anonymously, and an assortment of school supplies along
with $724 in cash to be used for
supplies for any local students
who cannot afford them, contributed jointly by the Maple
Lake High School Classes of
1970 and 1975.

• Approved a consent
agenda that included the installation of Rachel Lawler as a
volunteer junior high volleyball
coach; family and medical
leave for Dale Plaggerman, and
an intermittent family and medical leave for Louie Manuel; an
intermittent unpaid medical
leave of absence for Heidi
Kelm; revision of Jordan Mathiasen’s hiring as a special education teacher to BA, Step 2;
hiring of Nancy Kopff as a
third-grade teacher and Dawn
Hanson as a paraprofessional;
and, paid for by a grant, temporary positions as kindergarten
aides from September 14
through October 13 for Lori
Lee, Ashley Schwindel, and a
position to be shared by Patti
Nygaard and Amanda Walhowe.
• Tabled, due to the absence
of three board members, a
closed discussion regarding
contract negotiations with support staff, confidential staff and
principals.
• Set a November deadline
for board members to complete
an evaluation of the superintendent’s job performance.
As Columbus Day is observed on the second Monday
in October, the next school
board meeting will be Tuesday,
October 13, at 7 p.m.

Friendly competition benefits Maple Lake schools
The Maple Lake High
School classes of 1970 and
1975 held their class reunions
on Saturday, Sept. 12. During a
reunion planning meeting,
Becky Ward Mead, class of
1970 and former Maple Lake
teacher, suggested that the two
classes hold a competition to

see which class could raise the
most money for the local
schools. After some trash talking and spying between The V
and Madigan’s, where the reunions were being held, the
class of 1975 was victorious.
Together, the classes raised
over $700 for the benefit of

Maple Lake students.
Maple Lake School Board
member, Shelley Phillipp
McAlpine, was on hand to accept the donations on behalf of
the school district. The donations will be ear-marked for
supplies for those students
whose families struggle finan-

cially. It was a fun and worthy
endeavor and the two classes
challenge other classes to do the
same at their reunions.
The other highlight of the
evening was the drawing for
two embroidered fleece throws,
handmade by Jane Jude Decker,
Class of 1970.

BCT announces the cast of Meshuggah-Nuns
Buffalo Community Theater is excited to announce the cast of
their fall musical comedy: Meshuggah-Nuns!
This talented group of performers from Buffalo and other nearby
communities includes: Theresa Anderson-Kentner as the Purser;
Jon Benson as Howard Liszt/Tevye; Connie Gabriel as Sister Hubert; Rhea Langemo as Sister Robert Anne and Louise Rau as Sister
Amnesia. Linda Metcalf returns to BCT for her third Nunsense production as the Reverend Mother.
In this latest Nunsense adventure, the "Little Sisters of Hoboken"
are hitting the high seas on the “Faiths of All Nations” cruise.When
the cast of “Fiddler on the Roof” (with the exception of the guy
playing Tevye) gets seasick, the ship’s captain asks the sisters and
Tevye to put on a show. The result- Meshuggah-Nuns!
Hilarity reigns supreme on the high seas with songs like Say It
In Yiddish, Contrition, In the Convent, and If I Were a Catholic.
From Sister Amnesia’s attempt at magic to the sing-along Fiddlerspiel, Meshuggah-Nuns! is an ecumenical fun-fest. On the technical
side of the production, Cokato resident Dave Metcalf returns to direct Buffalo Community Theater's third Nunsense send-up with
music direction provided by Buffalo's Michael Walsh.
Performances will take place at Discovery Auditorium in Buffalo, October 16-18 and October 23-23. A special "Pink Night at
BCT" will take place on October 17. On this evening $2 from every
ticket sold will be donated to the Buffalo Hospital Foundation to
support their Cancer Care Services in our community.
All seating is reserved, and advanced tickets are available online
from the BCT website: www.bctmn.org. Any remaining tickets will
be sold at the door.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota
through a grant from the Central MN Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

After a few months of blue
skies and warm temperatures,
summer revelers will soon bid
adieu to the sultry days of this
beloved season. Summer is
often a season filled with vacations and recreation, but as the
warm days dwindle and work
and school commitments begin
anew, there is additional work
to be done in preparation for the
months ahead.
* Stock up on pool equipment. Homeowners who have
pools can take advantage of
end-of-season sales to purchase
a few more gallons of pool
chlorine or other pool equipment. Store them after you have
winterized the pool, and you
will be ahead of the game in
terms of supplies for next year.
* Plan your garden harvest.
If you have a backyard garden,
pick your tomatoes and other
vegetables before the weather
starts to get chilly. Herbs can be
washed and frozen in zippertop baggies so they can be used
when cooking over the next
several months. Boil tomatoes
for sauce and freeze or jar
them. Begin to clear out residual stems and plant debris from
the garden.
* Clean patios and furniture.

Scrub and hose down outdoor
furniture, cushions and living
areas. Clean and dry items before storing them for the winter,
so everything is ready to go
when the warm weather returns
next year.
* Purchase spring bulbs.
Buy bulbs for spring-blooming
flowers and map out where they
will be planted for beautiful
flowers next year. Wait until
temperatures start to dip before
planting the bulbs, otherwise
they may begin to produce
shoots prematurely, zapping the
bulbs of energy.
* Check the heating system.
Although turning on the heat
may be the last thing you're
thinking about, it's a good idea
to test it and, if necessary, have
the system serviced prior to the
arrival of cold weather.
* Tend to the deck and other
repairs. Make repairs to outdoor structures now, and they'll
be more likely to survive the
harsh weather that's just over
the horizon. Apply stain or

Maple Lake defeats Melrose 30-26
by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

#40, Damien Kaley, turns the corner while #23, Michael
LaTour, looks for an up-field block.

The Irish football team is
now 3-2 overall after a narrow
four-point win over the sixth-instate ranked Melrose Dutchmen,
Friday, Sept. 18, in Maple Lake.
The home team held Melrose’s star running back to just
68 yards and were on the “plus
side for turnovers,” Irish Coach
Tim Knudsen said, on their way
to a 30-26 win.
“Their running back has had
10 touchdowns and 768 yards in
four games,” Knudsen said.
“Melrose is a tough and experienced team.”

Irish senior Damian Kaley
and junior Nate Maas each
rushed for two touchdowns
against the Class 3A team Friday
night.
Kaley led off with a one-yard
touchdown run in the first quarter to put Maple Lake on the
board.
Melrose’s Tyler Braegelmann
threw a 15-yard pass to Jordan
Klaphake to lead off the second
quarter, but Maple Lake answered with two touchdowns of
its own, both from Maas. Maas
completed an eight-yard run and
a 20-yard run for the points.
Melrose’s Caldin Rieland
caught a 28-yard pass for six
points in the third quarter to
make the score 23-14 in Maple
Lake’s favor. It was the only
touchdown of the quarter.
The Dutchmen outscored the
Irish 12-7 in the final quarter
with Kaley getting the home
team’s lone touchdown, a twoyard run. Kaley finished the
night with 103 yards rushing.
Offensively Maple Lake

rushed for 300 yards and was 68 in passing.
Going forward the Irish need
to work on getting off the field
defensively on third-and-long,
Knudsen said after the game.
“We need to be better on special teams. We need to clean up
our penalties on offense.”

Irish volleyball now 10-1 on season
by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

Irish defenders gang-tackle a Melrose ball carrier in last
Friday night's action.

The Maple Lake volleyball
team had their perfect record
marred last week when the unbeaten Irish hosted BelgradeBrooten-Elrosa and were taken
down by the Jaguars in five
games.
Despite the loss, the Irish still
hold a 10-1 record with three
wins last week in addition to the
loss.
Maple Lake kicked off the
week by hosting the Sartell
Sabres, Tuesday, Sept. 15, in a
non-conference match-up that
the Irish dominated in four
games.

Maple Lake’s Amber Klug
led the home team to a 3-1 win
with 11 kills, nine digs and five
serving aces.
The Irish won the first game
25-18, fell 20-25 in the second,
then rebounded to claim the final
two games 26-24 and 25-12 to
win the match.
On Thursday, Sept. 17,
Maple Lake hosted Central Minnesota Conference foe BelgradeBrooten-Elrosa 3-2.
Game scores were 14-25, 2515, 25-21, 25-21, 15-13.
Maple Lake rebounded on
Saturday, Sept. 19, in Farmington where they defeated nonconference foes Mahtomedi 2-0

and Red Wing in the Farmington
Tournament.
Game scores were 25-21, 2125, 9-15 against Red Wing.
The Irish will play again on
Tuesday, Sept. 22, in Annandale
and Thursday, Sept. 24, in Kimball starting at 7 p.m.. On Friday,
Sept. 25, and Saturday, Sept. 26,
they travel to a tournament in
Jordan.

Boys and girls second in Delano race

The Catch
by Jeff Plattner

Sports Writer

Sommer Carlson won the
race, Thursday, Sept. 17, to lead
the girls cross country team to a
second-place finish at Delano.
Halle Geyen came in third despite less-than-favorable weather
that left the course wet and
muddy.
On the boys’ side, Devin Deringer led with his third-place
finish and Simon Willard was
seventh in the team’s secondplace overall finish.

Coach Ben Youngs called it a
“true cross country” meet because of the course conditions.
“The junior high kids were on
the line and then they stopped to
let bad weather go through,” he
said. “The rain came down in
buckets. The course was messy.
“That affected times, especially those who don’t have
spikes,” he said. “Still, most of
the kids had fun with the course.”
Both the junior varsity and
junior high girls teams took first
Thursday as did the junior high

and JV boys teams. The junior
high girls team finished with a
perfect score of 15. Mary Miller
ran for first and Augusta Demarais was second.
Brady Tongen won the boys
JV race and Logan Wininger was
second in the race.
The Irish were scheduled to
run at Pierz on Monday, Sept. 21.
The 24-team meet would include
the No. 1 Class A boys and girls
teams and some of the top talent
around.
“It will be a great test to see

where we stand,” Youngs said
before the race.
On Saturday, Sept. 26, Maple
Lake will travel to Milaca for
what Youngs described as “the
biggest high school cross country
meet in the world.”
In Maple Lake’s division
alone there will be 50 teams.
“Obviously we will see some
outstanding competition, and we
will learn where we stand against
some of the best teams in the
state,” Youngs said.

City Council

NFL Quick Hits
Two weeks of the 2015 NFL
season are nearly in the books
and it’s been a pretty standard
year so far, right? Hardly! My
goodness, where do we even
begin? Well, for starters, the
Saints, Eagles, Giants, Ravens,
Seahawks and Colts (they host
the NY Jets on Monday night),
who combined to win 56 games
last season, are 0-11. The
Jaguars, Titans, Raiders, Redskins and Buccaneers, who were
a combined 14-66 last season,
are all 1-1.
DeMarco Murray, the NFL’s
first defending rushing champion to change teams since
1947, has carried the ball 21
times as a Philadelphia Eagle for
a total of 11 yards. Murray
rushed for 1,845 yards as a
member of the Dallas Cowboys
a year ago. Speaking of the
Cowboys, they are 2-0 and now
without, not only Dez Bryant
(foot), but also possibly Tony
Romo (collarbone) and Jason
Witten (ankle/knee), for the
foreseeable future. The Eagles,
who looked unstoppable versus
first team defenses in the preseason, have been terrible in five of
eight quarters played. The
Kansas City Chiefs gave up two
TDs in 0:09 on Thursday night,
against Denver, to cap off an unthinkable last-minute collapse,
at home, that reminded many of
“The Heidi game.” The Chiefs
have also now gone 21straight
regular-season games without a
receiving TD by a wide receiver.
After two games, Tom Brady
has already thrown for 754 yards
and 7 TDs. Over the course of a
16 game season, that pace would
bring Brady to 6,032 yards passing and 56 TDs We said he and
the Patriots would be playing in
complete screw you mode this
year. In their Monday night
opener against San Francisco,
the Vikings looked like the worst
football team on the planet. They

rebounded Sunday, at home,
against the Detroit Lions, to save
what could have quickly been a
lost season. Larry Fitzgerald,
who had caught two TDs in his
previous 17 games, caught three
TDs on Sunday, against the
Chicago Bears. DeAngelo
Williams, who rushed for just
three TDs in his last two seasons
with the Carolina Panthers,
rushed for three TDs on Sunday,
against the 49ers, while filling in
for Le’Veon Bell, as Bell serves
his suspension for violating the
league’s substance abuse policy.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
who were manhandled at home
on opening day, 42-14 by rookie
QB Marcus Mariota and the
Tennessee Titans, held future
Hall of Fame QB Drew Brees
and the Saints in check, at the
Superdome on Sunday, beating
the Saints 26-19. It was the Bucs
first win in their last eight tries
against the Saints. The St. Louis
Rams, who beat the Seahawks at
home in Week 1, were blown out
on the road by the Washington
Redskins on Sunday. Rookie RB
Matt Jones, who figures to be
the heir apparent to Redskins
RB Alfred Morris, who likely
won’t be re-signed after this season, had his coming out party
with 123 yards rushing and 2
TDs. The Green Bay Packers,
who are 2-0 just like the Cowboys, also have more injuries to
deal with like the Cowboys. Already without stud WR Jordy
Nelson, to begin the year, the
Packers are now without OT
Bryan Bulaga (meniscus) and
perhaps RB Eddie Lacy (ankle)
as well. The last team to appear
in three straight Super Bowls
was the Buffalo Bills, who appeared in and lost four straight
from 1991-1994. In their quest
to reach a third straight Super
Bowl, the Seahawks are now 02 and badly in need of getting SS
Kam Chancellor signed to a new
deal.

continued from page 3
The overall budget requirement for the city for 2016 is
$1,661,647 – an increase of
$48,232 over 2015. The overall
proposed levy for 2016 is
$935,028 – an increase of
$29,109 over 2015.
The city has received its preliminary tax capacity figure
from Wright County, and it has
risen from $1,515,306 to
$1,581,123 – an increase of approximately 4.34 percent, due
to the fact that residential property home values generally increased about five percent.
Based on budget numbers
discussed at the council’s workshop, the city’s proposed 2016
tax rate would be 57.771 percent – a decrease of 1.364 percent from the 2015 tax rate of
59.135 percent. If the council
had chosen to keep the tax rate
the same as 2015 (59.135 percent), an increase of $17,640 to
the levy would have been required. Council members opted
to increase the levy for the
Water Fund for a future water
tower, bringing the tax rate to
59.137 percent – a .002 percent
increase over 2015.
Homes valued for the taxable market at $85,000 in 2015,
taxed at $502.66, would see an
increase of $25.13 in 2016. A
home valued at $100,000, taxed
in 2015 at $591.37, would see
an increase of $29.57. A home
valued at $140,000, taxed in
2015 at $827.92, would see an
increase of $41.40.
In other business, the council:
• Conducted a public hearing
and adopted a resolution establishing an Economic Development Authority (EDA). The
council desires to establish an
EDA for the city in order to
promote certain economic,
commercial, housing and industrial development, and redevelopment goals and objectives. A
public hearing must be held before establishing an EDA,
which serves as a recommending body to the council and is a
separate political entity that can
own property and have a separate levy for development that

would otherwise be funded
through the General Fund. An
EDA offers flexibility in carrying out extensive economic development functions of the city,
including promoting existing
businesses and recruiting new
business, issuing revenue
bonds, acquiring property, purchasing and selling land, serving as a limited partner, and
making or guaranteeing other
credit. An EDA could also assume the powers of an HRA,
which has the power and stated
purpose to undertake certain
housing and redevelopment and
renewal activities. Council representation is required on the
EDA, and economic director Jo
Foust has recommended the establishment of a five-member
commission. As it is a new entity, the councilmembers will
serve as original members, their
terms coinciding with council
terms. If the city desires to
change the makeup in the future, bylaws can be amended
and as many as two more members can be added.
• Approved a construction
contract change-order with
SAK Construction for the 2014
Street Improvement Project in
the amount of $144,815.50. A
few sewer segments remain to
be lined and are in an advanced
state of deterioration. In a
change-order under the existing
contract for the 2013 Inflow
and Infiltration (I&I) Improvement Project, as a subcontractor
to SAK, LaTour Construction
would complete the work, replacing a six-inch sewer and an
existing two-inch galvanized
water main with eight-inch
PVC and a four-inch PVC
main. The quoted amount to
complete the construction as
proposed is $159,279.05, approximately 10 percent higher
than the amount estimated in
the project’s feasibility report.
The revised estimated project
total cost is $183,200, compared to the projected amount
of $166,100. City engineer Phil
Gravel offered two options for
financing the project. Option
one was to include the amount

as part of the Minnesota Public
Facilities Authority (PFA) loan
for the sewer portion of the
project; however, the city
would have to pay a $6,850
mark-up to SAK, as allowed in
the contract. Option two was to
pay approximately $114,720
from the Sewer Fund and
$54,400 from the water main
portion through the Water
Fund. The funds have sufficient
reserves to complete the project. Council consensus was to
finance the project through the
Sewer and Water funds. Construction will begin in October
and is expected to be substantially completed in June 2016.
An assessment hearing for affected property owners will be
scheduled at a later date.
• Passed a motion to direct
Northland Securities to work
with city staff on the preparation of all necessary bond offering documents relating to the
refunding of the existing Series
2009B Bond issue. George Eilertson of Northland Securities
has proposed that new refunding bonds be issued at the council’s November meeting, and it
is anticipated that the city will
issue $725,000 in General Obligation Water Revenue Refunding Bonds to refund the
2017-2027 maturities of the series, which was initiated in
2009 at $1,020,000. These
bonds have a remaining average interest rate of approximately 3.97 percent. Based on
interest rates available in the
current bond market, new refunding bonds may be able to
be issued at an average interest
rate of approximately 2.2 percent. This interest rate reduction would result in a total net
savings of approximately
$45,900, after related costs of
issuance are taken into consideration.
• Offered preliminary support of sanitary sewer renovation to accommodate an
expansion project by Pace Industries, which has authorized
plans for an eventual 60,000square-foot expansion of the facility next spring. Realignment

and steel encasing of a 200-foot
portion of force main will be
performed by a contractor,
under supervision of the city
engineer, in a project scheduled
for completion this fall. Approval is contingent upon the
city and Pace entering into an
appropriate agreement governing the terms of the project and
the city engineer’s approval of
site plans and surveys.
• Granted an Interim Use
Permit to Lake Region Co-op
for a dynamic display sign, with
an expiration date of 10 years
or until no longer occupied by
the current owner.
• Heard a proclamation by
Mayor Lynn Kissock recognizing October 1-10 as Minnesota
Manufacturers Week, in honor
of the contribution made by
manufacturers locally and
across the state. The proclamation noted that Maple Lake
manufacturers provide highquality jobs for area residents,
with 13 manufacturers providing 626 local jobs in 2015 and
providing $23,780,860 in 2014
annual wages.
• Accepted the resignation of
liquor store manager Carol
Bestland, effective December
31, and directed staff to post advertisements to fill the position.
• Accepted the resignation of
Andrew Johnson from the public works department and directed
staff
to
post
advertisements to fill the position.
• Recognized Accounting
and Administration Clerk Roxanne Howard for five years of
service to the city.
• Approved a consent agenda
that included staff attendance at
the Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association Conference
October 21 in Roseville, $995
to Strategic Insights for software, and a gambling–exempt
permit for a post-prom party
fundraiser April 16 at the high
school.
These actions were taken in
the absence of Councilmember
Bart Lauer. The council’s next
meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m.

Summer Checklist
continued from page 7
* Examine the roof and chimney. Winter is a poor time to
learn you have missing roof
shingles or a leak. Furthermore,
ensure the chimney and venting
to the outdoors is not obstructed
by abandoned animal nests.
* Check your closets. Go

M A P L E

through clothing and remove
any items that are damaged or no
longer fit, donating them if possible. Clean out kids' closets as
well, as pants that fit perfectly in
May will not necessarily fit
come September.
* Stock the shed. Once the

L A K E

weather has cooled down, move
outdoor flower pots, hoses and
lawn ornaments you no longer
need into the shed or garage
while ensuring items needed in
fall and winter, such as rakes,
snow shovels and snowblowers,
are more accessible.
