For the most part, if there
were topics of interest to Wright
County residents that were
going to be discussed at the
Wright County Board of Com-
missioners they had to attend the
meetings in Buffalo or wait a
couple of days to watch the
meeting on cable access televi-
sion. At the Oct. 15 meeting of
the Wright County Board, the
commissioners were informed
that they’re close to having their
meetings carried live on the in-
ternet.
Information Technology Di-
rector Bill Swing said that the
preparation for the board to go
live with streaming of their
board meetings on the county’s
website is slated to begin Nov. 5.
The board has been conducting
meetings with trial runs of the
live streaming the last few
weeks and they’re ready to go
live.
“We feel we’ve got a product
we can move on,” Swing said.
“What we’re looking at now are
procedural matters. We’re doing
a couple of test runs to make
sure we have the bugs worked
out and will be ready to launch
Nov. 5.”
Commissioner Mark Dalei-
den has spearheaded the effort
for the county to embrace avail-
able technology, which is far
from what current viewing of
county board meetings has done.
The board meetings are cur-
rently taped on VHS tapes and
delivered to the Charter Com-
munications office in Buffalo. It
was the problems with Charter
that prompted the change. The
county had been informed that
they would have to record meet-
ings on DVD and deliver them
to St. Cloud for broadcast days
later. That and the fact that Char-
ter doesn’t have a cable TV mo-
nopoly prompted the move.
“Not every resident has
Charter as their cable provider,”
Daleiden said. “We’re not cur-
rently providing a service to the
residents who have an interest in
seeing a board meeting. This
will allow anyone who is inter-
ested to watch the meetings live
or whenever they choose to
watch them.”
Swing said that technically
the board meetings could al-
ready be airing on the county’s
website, but that they’re fine-
tuning elements like camera an-
gles and how to start and stop the
streaming when the board is on
a break. He said those have been
rectified and the county is ready
to go live Nov. 5 and a change is
long overdue.
“When you stick to the old
ways too long, it creates a lot of
hassle and takes more time and
effort to accomplish,” Swing

“Provide for the basic needs,
and then the learning can hap-
pen.” Maple Lake Elementary
social worker, Lisa Weninger
used these words when describ-
ing an issue that affects many
students throughout both the el-
ementary and high school:
hunger. Through a new program
called Backpack Buddies, Maple
Lake Public Schools hope to
battle hunger and help the stu-
dents focus on school, rather
than worry about not having
food for the weekend.
Backpack Buddies is a sup-
plemental food program that
provides nutritious meals and
snacks for students over week-
ends, free of any charge to the
children and their families. Any
student receiving free lunch at
school is eligible to receive the
backpacks over the weekend. If
someone is not currently part of
the free lunch program at school
and therefore does not qualify
for the Backpack Buddies pro-
gram, but struggles with a tight
food budget, the Annandale
Food Shelf is another available
resource.
To those eligible for the
Backpack Buddies program, a
letter is sent home informing
families about the program.
Along with the letter, there is a
simple sign-up sheet. The fami-
lies who receive this letter are
completely anonymous. Those
working with the food service
are the only people aware of
which families receive free
lunches at school and they send
the invitation to participate.
After signing up, the families re-
main anonymous to all but those
heading the program including
the building principals, Kris
Harlan and Dave Hansen, and
the school social workers, Lisa

Nearly a year ago, Courage
Center Camps and Friendship
Ventures partnered together to
become the largest camp organi-
zation to serve people with dis-
abilities in the country. Now, the
partnership – which includes
Camp Courage, in Maple Lake,
and Camp Friendship, in Annan-
dale – will continue under the
parent company True Friends.
“True Friends embodies
everything we’re about,” True
Friends President and CEO Ed
Stracke said. “When we think
about how we impact people’s
lives, we have to look at rela-
tionships. We asked a number of
people, ‘When you hear true
friends, what does that mean?’
Someone said, ‘Friends are
good, but true friends are bet-
ter.’”
Stracke said many people
with disabilities don’t have a
wide circle of friends.
But, at camp, things are differ-
ent.

MP Technologies, a Maple
Lake-based company that has
achieved nation-wide status as a
provider of installation and main-
tenance services for electrical and
communications systems, needs
more space.
A sister company to MP
Nexlevel, MP Technologies spe-
cializes in electrical, gas distribu-
tion and pipeline work. The
company has a sizable office in
Houston, Texas, where it enjoys a
large contract with CenterPoint
Energy, but is currently working
from a small, rented office space
inside MP Nexlevel in Maple
Lake.
“We’re taking what we’ve been
doing and adding to it,” says Rob
Pribyl of MP Technologies, speak-
ing of the upcoming purchase of
35 acres of land including the for-
mer Windstream building on Hwy.
55. “Every year we’re adding new
jobs for qualified operators, labor-
ers and tradespeople. This expan-
sion gives us even more opportu-
nity to add more crews for specific
jobs in this area.
“We expect to close on the
property in the next couple
weeks,” said Pribyl, “and hope to
start moving people in before
Christmas. The extra area will
allow for potential equipment stor-
age as well.”
Pribyl cited the close proximity
of MP’s base of operation in
Maple Lake as the initial reason
for consideration of the Hwy. 55
property.

Heidi Goelz, second from left, and Margie Isaacson, second from right, were honored
at the third annual Leadership in Educational Excellence support staff event hosted by
Resource Training and Solutions. Goelz, who works in the district office, and Isaacson,
a paraprofessional at Maple Lake Elementary, are pictured with Maple Lake High School
Principal Dave Hansen, Resource Executive Director Robert Cavanaugh, Maple Lake
Superintendent Mark Redemske and MLE Principal Kris Harlan. “Margie is so deserving
of this award,” Harlan said. “Not only is she a valuable paraprofessional who works
with great patience and kindness with our special education students, but she does a
thousand other things for our school community. She serves as the representative for
our paraprofessional group on our Building Leadership Team. She also volunteered to
be trained with our original group in 2006 on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Sup-
ports and has remained an active member on our PBIS team ever since. She willingly
supervises fifth- and sixth-grade lunch each year. Margie cares about the students and
the staff she works with and works tirelessly to contribute to making MLE a great place
to work and to learn.” Hansen said, “Heidi Goelz is a well-deserving recipient of the
support staff LEEA award. Heidi is a problem-solver in our district and does her best to
help and support other staff members. She always has a smile on her face and a great
laugh that puts others at ease and makes a great work atmosphere. Thanks, Heidi, for
your dedication to and support of Maple Lake Public Schools.” (Photo sbumitted)

As a process of review contin-
ues, Maple Lake’s Planning
Commission has winnowed a
long list of potential industrial
park sites down to two. At its
most recent meeting, Tuesday,
Oct. 15, the Maple Lake City
Council was apprised of the plan-
ners’ progress.
Councilmember John
Northenscold reported that in ex-
amination of a proposed Future
Land Use map prepared by Eco-
nomic Development Director
Paul Bilotta, the commission had
given particular consideration to
sites that fell within Maple Lake
Township’s Orderly Annexation
(OA) area.
Following some discussion as
to how much development
should occur, and where, the
commissioners voted to recom-
mend that three sites be removed
from consideration and stripped
of any potential industrial desig-
nation: one on the western side of
Co. Rd. 8, north of 65th Street
Northwest, and two on Co. Rd.
37 to the northwest of the city.
Another, between Co. Rd. 8 and
Mary Lake, was recommended to
be changed to residential. Two

I haven’t been out pheasant hunting yet and from the meager re-
ports that have filtered my way I’m not missing a whole lot. I elected
to wait for more of the corn crop to be harvested and that’s on the
back burner with the recent rains that have slowed up the process. I
noticed there are a fair amount of beans waiting to be harvested
southwest of Maple Lake and I figure the rain and soil conditions
are holding that up also. Regardless of the poor reports from hunters
and what I’ve gleaned out of the Outdoor News, my hunting com-
panion, Daryl Hennen, figures it’s time for us to make an effort. So
we’re planning on Thursday in the Morris area. That’s an area we’re
fairly familiar with, but it’s also one that isn’t high on the list of good
places to hunt. A story in the Outdoor News says hunter participa-
tion in that area “has dropped considerably from openers of past
years.” As the saying goes, “hope springs eternal” and we’re hoping
to find a covey or two, but if we don’t try we won’t know for sure.
If you plan on hunting any of Minnesota’s Walk In acres the DNR
has an update on that program. It will tell you which ones have been
mowed for hay, closed, etc. and it could save you some miles.
There’s a list on their website. I haven’t made any other efforts hunt-
ing ruffed grouse or fishing, but I did come across a report that Clear-
water Lake has been producing walleyes in the evenings. Another
fellow said he’s been skunked on his last three sunfish outings lo-
cally. I winterized my outboard one day last week, took out the
electronics, batteries, etc., put on the vinyl cover and will soon put
it in the backyard for the winter. My next effort will be from the ice
. . . Kip Blizil said his hunting group will be hunting out of
Huron, South Dakota this week, commenting he’s keeping a promise
he made last spring to his Lab Goldie, that he’d take her on a week’s
vacation! South Dakota’s hunting season for residents opened Oct.
12 and their game and fish department had this quote from Huron
hunter Kent Shelton who says he was happy when he went hunting
during the resident opener. "Yeah, and the people I talked with all
were pleasantly surprised that on the public land they hunted around
the Huron area that they saw more birds than they thought they
would," Shelton said.

Minnesota’s first snowfall of the season happened Sunday and it
should serve as a good reminder for me to fire up the snowblower
as part of getting ready for the winter. With my back yard slowly
gathering leaves from the maple and black walnut trees it seems like
snowblowers shouldn’t be a concern, but it wasn’t too many years
ago that we had a Halloween snowstorm and the snow didn’t melt
away. I’m noticing more people decorating for Halloween which
should make the retailers happy. It also sounds like some of the big
retailers who haven’t been opening on Thanksgiving evening for the
Christmas shoppers, will be doing so this year as the battle for the
holiday dollars goes on.

I’ve managed to take Vanna walking in Ney Park without getting
wet last week and one day I was parking my car on the corner and
looked up to see what I first thought was the largest Mourning Dove
I’ve ever seen perched on the power line. In reality it was a hen
pheasant. The next day Vanna and I were headed back to our parked
car when a rooster apparently got too nervous and broke out of the
weeds flying across the trail into the Lake Mary Wildlife Manage-
ment area. I’ve been waiting for some northern ducks to filter into
the water impoundment in the park, but that hasn’t happened yet.
There are still some local ducks, half-dozen swans and one day we
had a flock of four sandhill cranes fly by us at about tree-top level.
I haven’t seen a deer out there since last spring, but I haven’t been
on the corn side of the park where I suspect they are hanging out.

Intersections

There was a wind blowing in
from the south as I wadded
screening under the door to my
crawl space. That would keep
out the creatures that try to in-
habit my basement for the win-
ter. I was also trying to find a
folding knife that disappeared
while I was painting near that
door.
Some people look at the
bands on caterpillars to deter-
mine how bad a winter we will
have. Some judge muskrat
houses. I count the small ani-
mals that try to sleep under my
roof. Without screening, the
door is only tight enough to keep
out badgers and most wood-
chucks. One year a feral cat
came in and had kittens in that
crawl space, but she might have
come through an open basement
door.
While wadding, I noticed
three things. One was that my
baseball cap kept blowing off.
Second was my wife, who had
been trying to find me. Third
was the neighbor, who evidently
was unaccustomed to seeing
people stuff screening under a
crawl space door.
“How's your wife doing?”
said Wife to Neighbor. She has a
high level of concern for people.
“Doing well,” he said. “Visit-
ing nurse said she's progressing.
Skin doctor's happy. Tomorrow
we see the leg doctor. Then we
go to the arm doctor. Then the
family doctor on Friday.” I bet
she wishes she hadn't had that
car accident at all.
“My cardiologist today told
me he's happy with me, too,” I
said. “Of course he didn't lose
his knife and there was no gale
blowing in his face.”
He said, “Haven't seen a
knife. Looks like you're jam-
ming screen under your crawl
space door.”
“Just trying to wedge it shut
to keep the animals out.”
“I don't suppose you have to
jam screen under doors in your
new house,” Wife said.
“No, but I need to cover those
two boats up there, and tie down
some other stuff. I don't like
wind. I suppose you're going out
for a boat ride, since your shore
looks like you don't expect win-
ter to come this year.”
“The boat's coming out next
week,” said Wife. In despera-
tion, she'd asked for a price from
the marine store but Son is going
to bail us out.
“I have to go,” said Neighbor.
“Wind is catching my pontoon
boat and might blow it across the
road.”
“My horseshoe stake is start-
ing to blow away,” I said, “so I
better forget the knife and screen
and go inside.” A concrete block
blew off the step.
Each year the tasks get a little
more complicated. I'm begin-
ning to see why those people
down the road moved away—
Sam and Janet Evening, I think,
were their names—but so far the
effort to stay here is worth it.
Hawaii is nice, though.

In the September 9, 2013,
issue of the Minneapolis Star
Tribune there was a lengthy front-
page report on the inherent unfair-
ness, and possible violation of
human rights, for mentally ill de-
fendants to be languishing in jail
without proper mental health
treatment. I have seen this abhor-
rent situation in court myself. Re-
cently a woman in her 20’s with a
history of mental illness sat in jail
for about 30 days for a minor pro-
bation violation because county
human services staff could not
find a bed for her in an appropri-
ate mental health treatment facil-
ity. I do not blame the human
services agency. I do not blame
the prosecutors. I place blame on
all of us.
Here are a few disturbing
quotes from the Star Tribune arti-
cle:
“On any given day, the Hen-
nepin County Jail holds 100 to
200 inmates with severe psychi-
atric disorders, according to
records reviewed by the Star Trib-
une. They represent fully one-
quarter of the jail’s population,
and they languish there, on aver-
age, for three months before get-
ting proper psychiatric care.
“Across Minnesota, judges, at-
torneys and sheriffs cite dozens of
similar cases in other county jails.
They describe a system, that, in
effect, criminalizes the mentally
ill because of backlogs in the state
commitment process and a short-
age of psychiatric beds.
“‘What you’re seeing is peo-
ple who are mentally ill being la-
beled as criminals,’ said a
frustrated Hennepin County Sher-
iff Rich Stanek.
“‘Jailing people for their
symptoms is a travesty,’ says Sue
Abderholden, who heads the
Minnesota chapter of the National
Alliance on Mental Illness. ‘Not
caring enough to do anything
about it, which is what we are
seeing year after year, is inhu-
mane.’”
In 2014, we will face another
round of elections to the Min-
nesota legislature. Undoubtedly,
candidates for office will an-
nounce that, not only will they not
raise taxes; they will slash the
bloated bureaucracy that they be-
lieve is Minnesota state govern-
ment. It will indeed be shocking
if any candidate from any politi-
cal party announces that we, as a
state, need to spend more money
on mental health treatment and
services for our fellow Min-
nesotans in dire need of such help.
Such an announcement is surely
political suicide. But, where does
that leave us?
Mental illness is not treated by
warehousing human beings in jail
or prison. Untreated mental ill-
ness results in repeated harmful,
often dangerous, criminal behav-
ior; harmful to the untreated per-
sons and dangerous to the public
at large. The horrendous mass
shootings and murders in New-
town, Conn., and Aurora, Col.,
should be evidence enough that
our nation, as a whole, has failed
to provide adequate treatment op-
portunities for our mentally ill cit-
izens.
This is a problem that will not
go away by ignoring it and con-
tinuing to incarcerate the mentally
ill. The legislature must act.

Dear Editor,
Driving through Wright
County on a beautiful fall day
can be an enjoyable trip, but as
the weather and light conditions
change, drivers should take cau-
tion.
We have seen our share of
damp and wet days and nights
and I am certain that there are
more rainy and foggy times
ahead. This is the time of the
year that when the temperature
drops, frost often coats the road-
ways overnight. Be sure to drive
slow, especially in the mornings
and use extra caution on over-
passes and bridges as these are
more likely to be slippery.
I am sure you have also no-
ticed our hours of daylight are
becoming fewer each day. A dri-
ver’s reaction is highly depend-
ent on their ability to see clearly,
and visibility is impaired when
you drive in the dark. Make sure
you keep your windows, head-
lights and taillights clean and
clear to make visibility easier. If
you park outside and your car
windows are frosted over in the
morning, be sure to scrape all of
your windows – not just the
front window.
Also, be on the lookout for
deer. This time of the year they
are more likely to be near the
roadways at sunrise and sunset,
however, you do need to be cau-
tious all times of the day on rural
roads. If you see a deer, there is
likely to be more than one since
they travel in herds.
One of the biggest ways to in-
crease safety for drivers and pas-
sengers, anytime of the year, is
to wear a seat belt. Buckling up
is the single most effective fac-
tor in safety whether you are the
driver or passenger. Law en-
forcement will ticket you for not
wearing your seat belt. Insist on
seat belts, in every seat, for
every trip. Enjoy a safe fall!

Question: I’ve been watching
the news more lately; are tragic
crashes increasing, or have I just
taken notice?
Answer: Fatal and injury
crashes are on the rise statewide.
Approximately 33 percent of
these crashes were intersection re-
lated: traffic control violations,
right-of-way/failure to yield. Of
the 23 injury crashes during that
same period, 48 percent were in-
tersection related.
We have not specifically ad-
dressed the complexities of the
intersection with numerous traffic
safety campaigns running contin-
uously. Obeying traffic control
devices/signs is vital; STOP
MEANS STOP—no rolling, no
fudging and yellow lights warn us
that we need to prepare to stop.
When stopped, let your vehi-
cle set back with the tires still; ob-
serve traffic, repeatedly scanning
until you accurately understand
the dynamics in and around the
intersection. Always look for con-
struction and changes in signage,
and know that the more lanes a
roadway has, the more considera-
tion is needed. Do not be rushed
by other drivers to proceed; it is
never acceptable to let others
make your driving decisions.
Vision obstructions and blind
spots are inherent in a vehicle’s
design, such as the supporting pil-
lars and rearview mirror. It is cru-
cial not to add more obstructions
like air fresheners, GPS devices,
blinds, logos and dark tinting to
name just a few. Driving is a vi-
sual affair and requires an unob-
structed view to be successful;
intersections are no exception.
A pair of fluffy dice hanging
from a rearview mirror can block
an entire vehicle from view. At
night, the glow of a GPS can
mute the silhouette of a vehicle
even further, rendering it almost
invisible. Tinting and baby blinds,
for the most part, need to go. By
trying to create a comfortable en-
vironment, you also are increas-
ing the odds of crashing.
Portholes carved out of snow or
ice with just enough area for the
driver to see out are illegal, dan-
gerous and thoughtless.
I am close to belaboring the
point; however, I feel it is impor-
tant that everyone know that in-
tersections are a big deal.
Obeying traffic control devices,
taking your time and assuring a
clear, clean and unobstructed
view to the outside will increase
your odds of getting home safely.
If you have any questions con-
cerning traffic related laws or is-
sues in Minnesota, send your
questions to Trp. Jesse Grabow –

Sheriff’s office collaborating on
investigation of armed robberies
The Wright County Sheriff’s
Office is collaborating with other
area law enforcement agencies in
regards to a series of armed rob-
beries.
In the early morning hours of
09-19-13, the Wright County
Sheriff’s Office responded to two
similar incidents. The first inci-
dent reported was an attempted
armed robbery at the Clearwater
Burger King restaurant. The sec-
ond incident was reported as an
armed robbery at the Monticello
Burger King restaurant.
On 10-05-13 the Wright
County Sheriff’s Office re-
sponded to a call of an armed
robbery in the evening hours at
the Game Stop store in the City
of Monticello.
There are similarities in these
robberies where the suspect is de-
scribed as a white male with an
average build wearing a dark-col-
ored mask and dark-colored
clothing.
Anyone with information as
to the suspect’s identity is asked
to call the Wright County Sher-
iff’s Office at (763) 682-1162.

OCT. 21 REPORT OF THE
WRIGHT COUNTY SHERIFF
County Board
continued from page 1
Maple Lake Fire Department Report
said. “The way of the future is the
internet and this is just in keeping
with getting away from the old
way of doing things.”
In other items on the Oct. 15
agenda, the board:
* Approved the September rev-
enue/expenditure guidelines.
Through 75 percent of the year, ex-
penditures are at 74 percent of pro-
jections and revenues are at 68
percent.
* Set a second round of inter-
views for the two finalists for the
county coordinator position. In-
terim County Coordinator Lee
Kelly and former Wright County
employee Pat Melvin will have
their second interviews starting at
9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 25, in the
county boardroom.
* Announced that the board will
conduct a committee of the whole
meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov.
6, at the Corinna Township Hall.
The topic to be discussed is the
township’s wish to conduct its own
shoreland zoning. In 2010, the
county gave the township zoning
authority, but retained the power to
have shoreland zoning authority.
The township has requested that
authority be turned over the last
three years, but the county has yet
to officially turn over those rights.
* Approved a contract for re-
pairs on County Ditch 10 to Black-
stone Construction in the amount
of $148,558. The estimate for the
repairs was around $100,000, but
the amount of blockage on the
ditch and the need to remove nu-
merous trees growing in the ditch
line resulted in significantly higher
bids than originally estimated.
* Referred discussion of a com-
pensation study to the negotiation
committee of the whole. Two years
ago, the county conducted a job
classification study that didn’t in-
clude a follow-up compensations
study. At the request of Board
Chairman Pat Sawatzke, the meet-
ing will be conducted in closed
session with labor attorney Frank
Madden in attendance to provide
guidance to the county board about
the potential ramifications of a
compensation study.
* Approved revisions to the
county’s personnel policy to in-
clude recently approved language
dealing with employees who are
subject to being able to use flex
time.
* Authorized payment of the
$1,671 to the firm of Madden,
Galenteer & Hansen, the county’s
union negotiation counsel, for
labor relations services conducted
in September.
* Approved a summary of fact
and findings on the exact location
of County Ditch 38 and the bene-
fitted landowners who live along
the ditch. The county ditch system
has been in place for more than
100 years and the ditches are often
adjusted due to growth along the
system and, as part of the county’s
updated ditch database, such sum-
maries are being compiled to con-
firm exact locations and those
benefitted by the ditch.
areas were recommended to be
retained as potential industrial
park sites: a 113-acre piece across
Co. Rd. 8 from Ney Park, and
160 acres on Co. Rd. 37, across
from the airport.
Owners of affected properties
will be invited by mail, and the
public will be welcome to com-
ment on the proposed changes, at
an open house and informational
meeting Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 7
p.m. Based on public input, fur-
ther amendments are likely, and a
public hearing will also be sched-
uled before any rezoning takes
place.
“Everything is preliminary,”
Northenscold said. “Because
we’re making changes to the com-
prehensive plan, we’ll have to
have a public meeting, and then a
couple meetings for planning, and
then [take recommendations to]
the city council, before we actu-
ally make a change.”
The city’s Comprehensive
Land Use Plan is subject to review
every five years. The next Plan-
ning Commission meeting will be
Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.
Regarding other items on the
October 23 agenda, the council:
Directed staff to forward a
memo to the Chamber of Com-
merce regarding a city-owned lot
on Division and Birch and to add
the topic to the Planning Commis-
sion’s next meeting agenda. The
council had asked Bilotta to defin-
itively outline what the city can
and cannot do with the lot, as the
land, once intended as the site of
a future city hall, was purchased
in part with state funds. Bilotta
wrote in a memo to the council
that from the perspective of Min-
nesota Department of Employ-
ment and Economic Development
(DEED), the purpose of the grant
was to provide some sort of eco-
nomic development, and that
while there is some flexibility to
consider a new concept, it must
still focus on private sector jobs.
One viable option is to consider
working with DEED on approval
of an interim use such as a
farmer’s market or public gardens.
Approved raising the firemen’s
retirement benefit from $1,700 an-
nually to $1,800. Fire Chief Todd
Borell told the council that with no
retirements planned for the near
future, the department can cover
the raise, but that if the whole de-
partment were to be wiped out at
one time, the resulting fund deficit
would cost the city about $8,000.
Borell said it’s been more than
eight years since the benefit level
has been increased. The council
also passed a resolution calling for
the transfer of funds in the amount
of $47,471.46 from the Fire De-
partment Fund to the Maple Lake
Firemen’s Relief Association. The
city has received that amount in
state aid, and the transfer is re-
quired. Councilmember Bart
Lauer, a member of the depart-
ment, abstained from both actions.
Reappointed Lake Central In-
surance Services as the city’s in-
surer and Paul Manuel as agent of
record. City Clerk Linda Hruby
reported that the city’s insurance
renewal date is November 1, and
that the quote for the coming year
is $52,030, which is $1,127 less
than last year’s premium. Manuel
explained that due mostly to the
way liability ratings are now
structured, the city’s overall pre-
mium dropped two percent from
last year, but with the addition of
the liquor store building and some
newer maintenance vehicles, the
actual cost difference from last
year to this year does not reflect
that. The council also adopted a
resolution to not waive the mone-
tary limit on municipal tort liabil-
ity, as the members agreed with
Manuel that to do so would not be
in the city’s best interest.
Directed staff to notify home-
owners Randy and Ted Moody Jr.
that the council had received their
request that I&I assessments for
352 Birch Avenue South be
waived or delayed, and that the
surcharge will continue to be im-
posed until they correct the I&I
issue and pass inspection.
Approved payment number
three in the amount of
$233,427.07 to SAK Construction
for the 2012-2013 Inflow and In-
filtration (I & I) Improvement
Project, to cover estimated work
completed in September. Final
documentation on some items will
be submitted by the contractor be-
fore determining an actual final
payment amount. A five percent
retainage, which is typically not
released until final project accept-
ance, is included in the request.
Due to a short-term staffing
shortage, authorized Public Works
Director Jerry Sawatzke to carry
an excess of 240 hours vacation
time until Feb. 1.
The next city council meeting
will be Tuesday, November 19, at
7 p.m.

only still friends but also neigh-
bors.
Other disabled individuals
Stracke knows have gone
through school without being in-
vited to a single birthday party.
“Their friends were at camp,”
Stracke said. “One was in a staff
member’s wedding. I could tell
you hundreds of stories like
that.”
True Friends’ logo features
three connected individuals, in-
cluding a central figure in a
wheelchair. Blue and green are
included in the logo to represent
the lakes and trees of the camps.
The two figures on either side
represent the two organizations
coming together to support peo-
ple with disabilities.
“The organization is about
helping and serving people,”
Stracke said.
When Courage Center Camps
and Friendship Ventures began
talking about a partnership in
2010, it did not take long to de-
termine they had a similar mis-
sion. The mission of True
Friends is to “provide life-
changing experiences that en-
hance independence and
self-esteem for children and
adults with disabilities.”
“Everything we do is based
on that mission,” Stracke said.
In addition to that mission and
the new logo, True Friends also
comes with the tag line of
“Camps. Respite. Programs.
Travel.”
While Camp Courage and
Camp Friendship are staples in
the area, many people do not
know about the other three serv-
ices.
“Respite is hugely popular for
families of children that require
a lot of care,” Stracke said.
“Giving them a break is vital.
While the children are here, they
do fun activities and parents can
do other things. We had a board
member that said respite care
saved his marriage and he
worked hard to make sure it
could continue.”
Programs are expected to
grow. “Programming is a vision-
ary piece of what we’ll look like
in the future,” Stracke said.
“We’ll either partner with exist-
ing programs or create new pro-
grams.”
Travel programs will con-
tinue and are expected to grow.
“It’s a program that helps facili-
tate vacation experiences for
adults who can’t travel inde-
pendently,” Stracke said. “We’ve
gone all over the country.”
That program will likely
grow in its ability to include
more individuals with physical
disabilities.
Stracke hopes more people
take advantage of True Friends
in the future.
“If you know someone with a
disability who could benefit
from a camp, have them call us,”
he said. “There are very few
people we can’t help and finan-
cial assistance is available.”
Between 80 and 85 percent of
campers receive such assistance.
In the last year, the organization
gave more than $1 million in as-
sistance. Stracke is proud of that
number, as well as the reopening
of Camp Courage North, which
had been closed for financial
reasons.
He believes the partnership
has a bright future. “Enrollment
is at 4,000 and it’s not unreason-
able to think it could double in
five years,” Stracke said. “We’re
the largest special needs camp
organization in the country. Big-
ger may not always be better, but
when you’re bigger, you are able
to provide more resources.”

Here’s How It Works:
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!

that’s the way it was five years
ago this week.
After extensive police
searches, the body of 87-year-old

front of 500 people. ... For the
small price of $0.49, customers

way it was fifty years ago this
week.
Saturday night was a big
night for Maple Lake Lumber
owner, Daryl Hennen. He was
the 33rd recipient of the Mike
Downes Memorial Award. Pre-
sented each year since 1981, the
award is given to an individual
for outstanding service to MN
Amateur Baseball.
Hennen, who has been in-
volved in town ball in Maple
Lake for many years, was sur-
prised by the award, having been
lured to an MBA meeting by
Laker team manager Chad
Raiche.
“It worked out great,” said
Raiche. “The MBA was having
its last meeting of the year and I
told Daryl they needed us up
there to finalize the details from
the state tournament, it was kind
of my alibi.
“I talked to Kathy (Hennen,
Daryl’s wife) soon after getting
the news that Daryl was receiv-
ing the award. I thought he would
enjoy having his family there to
see it presented.
“Just before the award was an-
nounced, a member of the board
led Kathy and the rest of the fam-
ily into the room. Daryl, with his
back to the door never saw them
come in. Once his name was an-
nounced he stood up and he was
given a standing ovation, that's
when I tapped him on the shoul-
der and pointed to his family
standing behind him.
“It was a perfect set-up, a per-
fect ending.”
“It’s a big award,” continued
Raiche. “Only one person in the
state gets it each year. There are
300 teams in the Minnesota
Baseball League, plus all the
other people that are involved.
It’s a big deal.”
In his speech congratulating
Hennen, MN Baseball League
president, John Richter, listed
many of Hennen’s contributions
to town ball and went on to say,
“He may not have been the best
player on the field, but he was
probably the most dedicated
player on the team. His love for
baseball continued on into his
adult life playing town team
baseball. His loyalty to the team
and dedication was not only play-
ing, but also helping with ball-
park maintenance.
“His two goals were always
for his team to be the best it could
be, but also for the ballpark to be
the best in the league. After a 10-
year absence of baseball in his
town, he became one of the driv-
ing forces to bring baseball back.
“If you were to ask him how
many hours and how much
money he has put into the ball
field, the only answer you would
get from him is how nice the ball-
park looks. This shows you how
our Mike Downes Award winner
is a great person who knows no
enemies, but has many friends.”
Lordy, Lordy,
Guess who
turned 40?
Love,
From Family

As fall gradually gives way
to winter, vehicle owners often
sigh at the thought of driving in
winter weather or spending
weekday mornings clearing
their vehicles of ice before head-
ing to the office. But manning
the wheel through another
snowstorm or whittling away
another night's worth of ice from
a car's windshield are not the
only rites of passage motorists
must endure as cold weather re-
turns.
Winterizing a vehicle can im-
prove vehicle performance dur-
ing a time of year that, in many
locales, can be especially harsh
on automobiles. Low tempera-
tures make for less than ideal
conditions for engines to run,
while potholes left behind by
snow plows can damage a vehi-
cle's wheels and may even result
in flat tires and a damaged sus-
pension system. In addition, salt
used to improve traction on
roadways can cause rust. Short
of moving to a locale with mild
winters, there's little drivers can
do to protect their vehicles from
harsh winter weather. But win-
terizing a vehicle can prevent
some of the more common is-
sues drivers may encounter
when the temperatures dip
below freezing.
* Take time out for your tires.
Winter weather can limit trac-
tion, putting the safety of drivers
and their passengers in jeopardy.
When possible, avoid driving in
the snow, and steer clear of
roads where ice and black ice
are known to form.
While such measures can
greatly reduce your risk of being
in an accident, you likely can't
avoid driving entirely come the
winter. Drivers who want im-
proved traction from their tires
throughout the winter can pur-
chase winter tires for their vehi-
cles. Such tires can more
effectively handle roads that are
covered in snow and ice than all-
season tires.
Another way to improve trac-
tion during the winter months is
to constantly monitor tire pres-
sure, which decreases more rap-
idly when the weather is cold.
Properly inflated tires provide
better traction and protect
against damage that may occur
when driving over potholes.
* Consider a low-viscosity
oil in the winter. The owner's
manual of your vehicle may rec-
ommend you use a lower viscos-
ity motor oil to counter the dip
in temperature that's synony-
mous with winter. When the
temperatures outside fall, the oil
inside your vehicle thickens, and
a thicker oil won't circulate
through the engine as well. This
can cause engine problems be-
cause the engine won't be ade-
quately lubricated. A
low-viscosity oil is naturally
thinner, so it may improve lubri-
cation throughout the winter.
The vehicle owner's manual
should recommend oils based on
climate. If not, talk to your me-
chanic about changing from the
oil you use throughout the year
to a low-viscosity alternative
during the winter.
* Inspect your vehicle before
winter arrives. No one wants to
be out on the road during the
first snowstorm of the year only
to discover certain components
are not working properly. Belts
and hoses, while durable, can be
put through strenuous condi-
tions during the winter months,
so a close inspection of belts and
hoses should be conducted in
late fall. In addition, windshield
wipers are especially important
in winter, when snowfall can
drastically impact visibility. You
will want your wipers working
at full capacity once the winter
begins, so replace older wipers
(shelf life for standard wipers is
typically one year) and use a de-
icing windshield washer fluid to
maximize visibility.
Another component that
must be inspected is your car's
battery. Many drivers have ex-
perienced a dead battery, which,
in warm weather, is more of a
nuisance than a health concern.
In cold weather, a dead battery
can threaten your health if you
find yourself stranded in cold
weather. Especially low temper-
atures can compromise a bat-
tery's power by as much as 50
percent, so have your battery in-
spected in late fall and replace it
if need be.
* Don't be caught off guard.
Part of winterizing a vehicle is
being prepared if the vehicle
breaks down. Make sure you
have extra washer fluid in your
vehicle's trunk, and don't forget
to include an ice scraper, snow
brush or even a snow shovel in
the trunk as well. A snow shovel
may be necessary if you need to
dig your car out if it's been
buried somewhere other than
your driveway. Other items to
carry in your trunk include a
blanket, a change of clothes, an
extra hat, an extra pair of gloves,
some nonperishable food, and a
few bottles of water.
Winter can be especially
harsh on automobiles. But driv-
ers can take several preventive
steps to ensure their vehicle is
safe and sound on the roads this
winter.
Winterizing Vehicles: An important step for drivers
There are many good things
about a fresh coating of snow on
the ground, especially for those
who are avid outdoor enthusiasts.
Fresh powder makes for ideal
skiing conditions as well as op-
portunities for snowshoeing and
snowboarding.
Fresh snow also means hav-
ing to clean up driveways and
sidewalks. Snow shoveling is
something many people do not
enjoy, and it can potentially be
dangerous if not done properly.
The possibility of an accident
or injury while shoveling snow is
very real. The American Acad-
emy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
states that the most common in-
juries associated with snow re-
moval include sprains and
strains, particularly in the back
and shoulders. Individuals who
use snowblowers are not immune
to injury, either. The Consumer
Product Safety Commission
found that more than 6,000 peo-
ple were injured using snow-
blowers in 2009. Injuries from
snowblowers can include lacera-
tions and finger amputations.
Serious health problems may
result from snow shoveling and
snowblowing, including heart
failure from overexertion. Many
people are simply not physically
fit enough to move heavy quan-
tities of snow. Those who are
may not treat snow removal as
they would a strenuous exercise,
which would need a warm-up pe-
riod so as not to strain muscles.
Furthermore, improper body
mechanics can put undue stress
on the lower back and cause her-
niated discs or degeneration in
the spine. To reduce the risk of
injury when shoveling snow,
consider the following tips.
* Consult first with a doctor to
get a health assessment. If you
are restricted from certain stren-
uous exercises, it stands to reason
that you will be restricted from
shoveling snow as well. Many
people underestimate just how
strenuous snow removal can be.
* Choose the right snow
shovel or snowblower. Tools
with a curved handle or an ad-
justable length handle will help
you feel more comfortable and
minimize slouching and arching
of the back. Select a shovel or
snowblower that is lightweight to
reduce the amount of weight you
have to move in addition to the
weight of the snow.
* Dress appropriately for the
weather by layering clothing.
Layering enables you to remain
warm, but then shed layers
should you become overheated.
Sweating and having damp
clothing could put you at risk for
hypothermia. Be sure to cover
extremities to guard against frost-
bite.
* Warm up muscles by treat-
ing snow removal for what it is -
- a physical activity. Cold, tight
muscles are more prone to injury,
say experts. It is adviseable to
spend 10 to 15 minutes with
moderate exercise to get the body
ready for the workout ahead.
Take a brisk walk and stretch
your arms, legs and back. It is
best to limber up to avoid injury.
* Begin shoveling slowly, lift-
ing only small amounts of snow.
Remember that it is not a race,
and there are no prizes offered
for getting the job done in record
time.
* Keep your back straight
while bending your knees to lift
snow. Position your feet wide

In addition to making resolu-
tions and plans, the New Year
ushers in chilly temperatures in
much of the country. A heating
system that is working well is es-
sential to the comfort and health
of homeowners.
If you haven't done so, it's a
good idea to have the heating
system inspected to ensure
everything is working smoothly.
While this is best handled prior
to winter's arrival, in the midst of
the holiday hustle, it can be easy
to forget about home mainte-
nance.
The National Fire Protection
Association says that half of all
home-heating fires in the U.S.
occur in December, January and
February. Failure to clean equip-
ment, primarily creosote from
solid-fueled heating equipment
and chimneys, is a leading cause
of home-heating fires.
While the majority of home-
owners are safe, it cannot hurt to
inspect and clean the elements
involved in most home furnaces
and other equipment. Not only
will this help prevent possible
fires or help pinpoint possible
problem areas that could lead to
carbon monoxide poisoning, this
maintenance can help produce
cleaner indoor air.
In addition to routinely re-
placing the air filter on the fur-
nace, it is commonly recom-
mended to have the air ducts and
venting throughout the home
cleaned. Although there is no
proven evidence that trapped
dust and other debris in air ducts
can pose a risk to personal health,
many people prefer to keep the
ductwork clear in the event par-
ticles may be hazardous or con-
tribute to asthma or other
breathing difficulties. This clean-
ing can be done once a year or
every couple of years, depending
on personal preference.
The EPA does recommend
duct cleaning if any of these fac-
tors are present:
* There is substantial visible
mold growth present.
* Ducts are infested with ver-
min.
* Dust or debris are literally
clogging the ducts.
* You can see dust or debris
blowing into the home through
supply registers (vents) in the
home.
There are many companies
today that will service furnaces
and heating systems and provide
duct cleaning. As with any busi-
ness, their reliability and honesty
will have to be checked by the
homeowner. When seeking a
company to clean the ducts in
your home, first ask friends and
family members for referrals.
Also, utilize customer review
Web sites such as Yelp.com or
simply conduct a Web search for
the company to learn of its repu-
tation. You can also contact the
Better Business Bureau or see if
the business is registered with the
National Air Duct Cleaners As-
sociation (NADCA).
Research has not demon-
strated the effectiveness of any
chemical additives or sealants
placed in or on ducts for the pre-
vention of bacteria growth or in-
hibition of dust formation. It is
adviseable to steer clear of com-
panies that try to push additional
services or chemical applications
that actually may hinder health
more than dust.
An untrained person can actu-
ally damage the ducts or heating
and cooling system. That is why
it is important to do your re-
search. A properly done job
should include cleaning all of the
components of the system, in-
cluding coils and condenser parts
of the HVAC system itself. The
job should take between 3 and 8
hours and will range in cost from
$450 to $1,000, according to
EPA estimates. The "blow and
go" specials advertised for $100
are likely a waste of money and
may inadvertently cause damage
or dislodge dust inappropriately.
The NADCA says the most
effective way to clean air ducts
and ventilation systems is to em-
ploy "source removal" methods
of cleaning. This requires a con-
tractor to place the system under
negative pressure through the use
of a specialized, powerful vac-
uum. While the vacuum draws
air through the system, devices
are inserted into the ducts to dis-
lodge any debris that might be
stuck to interior surfaces. The de-
bris can then travel down the
ducts to the vacuum, which re-
moves it from the system and the
home.
Although there are no proven
health benefits, air duct cleaning
can help improve indoor air qual-
ity and may help an HVAC sys-
tem operate more efficiently.

more comfortable!

apart for the best distribution of
weight.
* Carry the shovelfuls of
snow to where you want them,
rather than tossing snow to the
side or over your shoulders,
which can only injure your body.
Try to keep your arms close to
your body to reduce stress on the
spine.
* If using a snowblower, al-
ways wear eye protection.
* Never reach into the blades
of a snowblower to dislodge
snow or another obstruction.
Turn off the snowblower first
and wait for a few seconds to let
the blades recoil before attempt-
ing to clear the blades.
* Turn off the engine any
time you are walking away from
the snowblower.
* Keep tabs on the electrical
cord so that you don't trip or ac-
cidentally run over it.
* Do not allow children to op-
erate the snowblower.
If you are not feeling well, it
is best to leave snow removal to
someone else. Many lawn care
services double as snow removal
businesses once the seasons
change. Check to see what plans
your landscaper offers.
Snow removal is a fact of life
for many people each winter.
Treat it as a strenuous exercise
that requires proper technique to
help minimize injuries.

Things Kids Should Know About School Bus Safety:
• The bus driver and others cannot see you if you are standing closer than 10 feet to
the bus. Stay out of the danger zone!
• If something falls under or near the bus, tell the driver. NEVER try to pick it up yourself!
• While waiting for the bus, stay in a safe place away from the street.
• When you get on or off the bus, look for the bus safety lights and make sure they
are flashing.
• Be alert to traffic. When you get on or off the bus, look left, right, left before you
enter or cross the street.
• When the driver says it is safe to cross the street, remember to CROSS IN FRONT of
the bus.
• Stay in your seat and sit quietly so that the driver is not distracted.

School News
Heberling receives
nursing scholarships
The Minnesota Directors of
Nursing Administration Long
Term Care (MN-DONA/LTC)
recently awarded a record 27
scholarships.
At MN-DONA's Annual Fall
Conference on Oct. 2, Ann
Heberling, of Maple Lake, was
awarded a $500 scholarship to
continue her education in nurs-
ing. Heberling has worked at An-
nandale Care Center as an NAR
(Nursing Assistant Registered)
for the past 2 ½ years. She started
college at St. Cloud Technical
and Community College in the
fall of 2011, finishing her gener-
als for the LPN program in the
spring of 2013. Heberling esti-
mates to complete her degree in
the spring of 2015 and plans on
working in a hospital where she
would be working with geriatric
people on a daily basis.
MN-DONA is a state associ-
ation of licensed registered
nurses who are currently or have
previously served in a position as
Director of Nursing or Assistant
Director of Nursing in a state li-
censed, long-term care facility.
MN-DONA sponsors several
scholarships each year for the ad-
vanced education of both mem-
bers and non-members pursuing
a nursing degree with a career
emphasis on long-term care. For
more information about MN-
DONA and/or their scholarship
program, please contact their as-
sociation office at info@mn-
dona.org or www.mndona.org.
Backpack Buddies
continued from page 1
Weninger and Nichole Rengel.
The Backpack Buddies is cur-
rently serving 24 families.
The Backpack Buddies pro-
gram began in the area with an
idea from former Maple Lake
graduate and wRight Choice
teacher, Leesa Sherman. wRight
Choice is a program that acts as
an alternative to suspension for
students in grades 6-12 who
make poor decisions. Service
project work is part of the
wRight Choice Program routine
and the Backpack Buddies Pro-
gram was a project developed by
Sherman last year, serving one
school in Buffalo. This year, she
decided to expand the program to
other Buffalo schools and
schools in Maple Lake. The stu-
dents at wRight Choice have
been packing the backpacks for
the Maple Lake Schools during
September and October. Starting
this week, the backpacks will
now be packed in the elementary
at Maple Lake. The school has
had some great support for the
program with a generous start-up
donation from the Maple Lake
Lions Club. That donation en-
abled the schools to purchase
backpacks for all the participants
and is helping to purchase con-
tents for the backpacks. Harlan
also received one personal dona-
tion from a caring individual
from the community for this proj-
ect. The local Girl Scouts have
gotten involved by planning a
food drive to take place in No-
vember.
Local businesses have made
an impact on the program as well.
“Maple Lake Elementary is col-
laborating with the Annandale
Food Shelf,” said Weninger, “and
they are helping us with collect-
ing what we need.” The support
from outside parties has made
purchases of food and backpacks
possible.
Before each weekend or
break, numbered backpacks are
filled with relatively easy-to-
make food. The amount of food
in the backpacks varies depend-
ing on family size, but the bags
usually include a meal or two and
snacks. “We pack bread many of
the weeks,” Harlan said. “We’ve
done sandwich things like peanut
butter and jelly.”
Once the backpacks are filled,
they are delivered to the family
according to their number. That
way, the identities of those re-
ceiving the food remains un-
known. Once the weekend or
break is over, the students return
the backpacks to the school and
the process begins again for the
next weekend.
The Backpack Buddies Pro-
gram is so important because
there are a lot of students who
don’t have food available at
home. “This program has shown
that it is needed because we hand
the backpacks out on Friday and
I got every backpack back on
Monday morning at my door,”
Rengel said. Furthermore, stud-
ies have shown that when stu-
dents are not hungry their grades
go up and they display less be-
havioral issues.
“It’s been very rewarding
handing them [the backpacks]
out. Sometimes we have adults
pick the backpacks up and the
people have been very gracious
and appreciative,” said Harlan.
In order to keep the Backpack
Buddies Program successful, the
coordinators at Maple Lake Pub-
lic School have applied for grants
and are hoping for help from the
community. Donations of any
kind, whether monetary or food,
are greatly appreciated. If anyone
would like to learn more or make
a donation to this program, con-
tact Harlan at Maple Lake Ele-
mentary.

The Irish cross country team
ran their hearts out at the Confer-
ence meet in Pierz on Tuesday,
October 15th. Each and every run-
ner ran their hardest and achieved
great races.
Keeping bundled up, the Irish
were able to show off their new
stocking hats that unified the
team. Each team warmed up to-
gether and mentally prepared
themselves for their big race.
Coming into the meet, the Irish
knew it would be a close race be-
tween themselves and the Hold-
ingford Huskers.
Although slightly misting in
the crisp air during the girls var-
sity race, Maple Lake kept fo-
cused and ran their strategic race.
With Holdingford right beside
them, they ran their hardest until
crossing the finish line. Halle
Geyen finished second overall
with a time of 16:00 flat and also
received an All Conference award.
Just behind Geyen was Sommer
Carlson placing third with a time
of 16:10, also receiving an All
Conference award. Crossing the
finish in ninth was Blair Stewig in
17:04 also receiving an All Con-
ference award. In 15th was Kayla
Hoistad coming in with a time of
17:36. Fifth for Maple Lake was
Jessie Wohlrabe in 16th, complet-
ing her race in 17:39. Right be-
hind Wohlrabe was Skyler Manka
in 17th with a time of 17:40 and in
19th was Katelynn Kramer with a
time of 17:48. Anxiously awaiting
the final results, the Irish ended up
12 short of first with a final team
score of 45. The girls were still
proud to be able to say they were
the runner-up team at the Confer-
ence meet.
Also competing in a close race
were the Maple Lake boys. Just
like the girls, Holdingford was
their main competition. Knowing
what had to be done, the Irish
started strong and didn’t quit until
they took their last step across the
finish line. Out front for Maple
Lake was Jackson Willard, plac-
ing fifth overall with a time of
17:35, receiving an All Confer-
ence award. Next came Andrew
Schonnesen in 11th, finishing with
a time of 18:07. Devin Derringer
placed 13th with a time of 18:18.
Coming in one after the other was
Scott Jordan in 14th with a time of
18:21 and in 15th was Ross
Hickey, completing his race in
18:26. Sixth for Maple Lake was
Cullen Gallagher in 21st and fin-
ishing his race in 18:50 and in
26th was Adam Ruhland complet-
ing the course in 19:06. After
hearing the final results, coming
close but unfortunately not close
enough, the boys were nine short,
again behind Holdingford with an
overall team score of 58 points.
With certainly nothing to hang
their heads about, the Irish were
proud of one another and left with
a sense of happiness in their ef-
forts.
Running for the Maple Lake
JV both teams raard and finished
first becoming Conference Cham-
pions.
Finishing for the girls were:
Jordan Siferle-1st place 18:06,
Mackenzie Miller-2nd place
18:56, Megan Webb-3rd place
19:09, Anna Thiele-4th place

state meet.
Volleyball team beats Pierz, wins conference title
by Gabe Licht
Editor
With key players on the
bench, the Maple Lake Irish foot-
ball team ended their regular sea-
son with a 23-6 home loss to the
Pierz Pioneers.
Zach Johnson stepped in as an
emergency quarterback and his
team tried to lean on him early.
“At first, we caught them off
balance,” coach Tim Knudsen
said. “We wanted to see if we
could throw the ball because
they’re awfully big up front.”
The Irish moved the ball well,
but stalled and turned the ball
over on downs.
Pierz couldn’t get much going
on their first drive, but neither
could Maple Lake on their sec-
ond drive.
With 3:45 left in the first,
Lucas Fobbe caught an intercep-
tion near midfield. Less than a
minute later, an Irish fumble gave
the ball back to the visitors.
At the end of the first quarter,
the score remained 0-0.
In the second quarter, Pierz
was determined to get on the
scoreboard.
Their first attempt flamed out
when a batted-down pass on third
down and 11 to go forced an un-
successful field-goal attempt.
While the field goal was un-
successful, it did pin the home
team deep in their own territory.
Johnson was sacked, setting up a
punt and good field position for
the opponents.
Pierz’s second red-zone scor-
ing attempt was more successful,
but not without resistance.
“Nick Gapinski made a nice
hit on their running back that
stopped him short,” Knudsen said
of the collision that could be
heard throughout the stands.
Unfortunately for the green
and black, Pierz pounded in a
touchdown and two-point con-
version for an 8-0 lead, which
stood at halftime.
Maple Lake caught the Pio-
neers off guard with an onside
kick to start the second half. The
home team went on to score on a
pass from Johnson to Ryan Kali-
nowski, but could not make good
on the two-point conversion.
Pierz scored twice in the next
seven minutes to increase the
lead to 23-6.
Defense was the name of the
game for the last quarter. Nic
Paumen recovered a fumble, but
the offense was unable to put to-
gether a scoring drive.
The game essentially ended
on a Maple Lake fumble with 38
seconds remaining, as Pierz knelt
on the ball twice.
“We played about as well as
we could with the young guys,”
Knudsen said. “I’m very proud of
them.”
“We’re banged up more than I
could think of at this point,”
Knudsen continued. “The last
three games were against good,
physical teams. We believe we’re
the frontrunners to win the sec-
tion, so we rested guys to make
sure they’re ready to go.”
Johnson led the offense with
4-11 passing for 83 yards and one
touchdown. Kalinowski was the
top receiver, with two catches for
51 yards and a touchdown,
Dustin Strub added one catch for
20 yards and Gapinski went for
12 yards on one catch.
Austin Becker was the pri-
mary running back and collected
34 yards on eight carries. Blake
Wellsted broke one run for 35
yards. Paumen (18 yards on five
rushes), Johnson (six yards on
three carries) and Cody Bakka
(six yards on one carry) also con-
tributed positive yards.
Fobbe, Paumen and Gapinksi
were among the defensive lead-
ers. In addition to his intercep-
tion, Fobbe had three tackles and
eight assists. Paumen added three
tackles and five assists to his
fumble recovery. Gapinski had a
total of three tackles and 10 as-
sists.
Other defensive contributors
were Trevor Borell (three tackles,
five assists), Dusty Strub (three
tackles, four assists), Wellsted
(two assists, one sack), Damian
Kaley (one tackle, six assists),
Josh Gindele (one tackle, four as-
sists), Trevor Paumen (two tack-
les, four assists), Dominic Kaley
(one tackle, six assists) and Derek
Reller (four assists).
The Irish began the playoffs
on Tuesday.

To be the Central Minnesota
Conference champions has been
a large season goal for the Irish,
and achieving this goal would be
a great award to show the effort
the team has put into the year.
Knowing their goal could be met
if they won Tuesday’s game
against the Pierz Pioneers at
home October 15th, the Maple
Lake Irish went out on the court
prepared to win.
In multiple games this season
the Irish had let their opponents
get an early lead in the game and
this left them at a disadvantage in
most games. However, Maple
Lake did just that to the Pioneers.
The Irish served a tough ball and
this left Pierz out of system and
made it difficult for them to play
the ball back aggressively. Pierz
struggled when the Irish contin-
ued to play an intense set, win-
ning game one 25-9.
The next set was not as sim-
ple of a win. Both teams were
working towards a win in game
two.
In game one, the Irish took
advantage of the Pioneer’s weak
plays over the net, but in game
two Pierz adjusted to Maple
Lake’s serves and began playing
a more skilled match. "They
forced us to make plays and
made the game much more in-
tense," said junior Emily Webb.
Though the Pioneers put up a
good fight the Irish won 29-27.
The Irish now had two wins
over Pierz and game three was
the Pioneer’s last chance to stay
in the game. Prepared to win the
game and the match, Maple Lake
came out strong. With aggressive
attacks, tough digs, and consis-
tent serves, the Irish had Pierz
again out of system. They won
the game 25-17.
They won the match and fin-
ished with a 7-0 record in the
conference. The team was named
the Central Minnesota Confer-
ence Champions and had
achieved their goal. Webb added,
"It feels good to be a champion."
