Public input
sought in
landscape
project
by Katie Friedman
Correspondent
At the Maple Lake City Councils most recent meeting, Tuesday, December 16, Mayor Lynn
Kissock initiated a conversation
about choosing a site for the city
to begin its participation in the
Community Roadside Landscaping Partnership Program. With
this initiative an effort to improve safety and aesthetics along
Highway 55 the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) provides technical and
financial assistance to communities interested in landscaping the
highway rights-of-way. While
participating cities do pay for the
improvements, MnDOT will reimburse for the estimated cost of
providing landscape materials,
including plants, and can also
provide design personnel, at no
added cost, to work with the city.
Funds or in-kind services to install and maintain the materials
are expected to come from within
individual communities.
Noting a MnDOT representatives suggestion to begin with
one intersection, Kissock suggested starting with the western
approach to the city, while Councilmembers Bart Lauer and Deb
Geyen expressed preference for
beginning work on the east end.
The area between the high school
and St. Timothys was also discussed.
The council will vote on a
starting site at its next meeting,
and in the meantime seeks input
from the public on this matter.
Local residents are invited to
leave comments and suggestions
on the citys Facebook page or at
www.ci.maple-lake.mn.us.

Now that weve gone by the shortest day of the year and are into
the winter season just before Christmas, I went to the internet to
learn a bit more about the winter solstice. This explanation wont
change the price of rice in China, as the saying goes, but nevertheless it refreshed my memory: A solstice is an astronomical event
that occurs twice each year as the Sun reaches its highest or lowest
excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere.
The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the
seasons. In many cultures the solstices mark either the beginning or
the midpoint of winter and summer.
The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere
(to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun's path (as seen
from Earth) comes to a stop before reversing direction.
At latitudes in the temperate zone, the summer solstice marks the
day when the sun appears highest in the sky. However, in the tropics,
the sun appears directly overhead (called the subsolar point) some
days (or even months) before the solstice and again after the solstice,
which means the subsolar point occurs twice each year.
The term solstice can also be used in a broader sense, as the date
(day) when this occurs. The day of the solstice is either the longest
day of the year (in summer) or the shortest day of the year (in winter)
for any place outside of the tropics.

I havent been out fishing since Dec. 13th, but that could change
during the holidays. In the hunting department I think Im about to
hang up the shotgun for the pheasant season which ends Jan. 4,
2015. Daryl Hennen and I took a day off last Thursday and hunted
west of Willmar. It was a great day weather-wise and the dogs
seemed to enjoy themselves in the standing corn and cattails although they didnt find much bird scent. Hennen had a shot at a
rooster in the first patch of standing corn we hunted, but that was

Travel is so broadening. Sitting on your tush for six hours
or so is bound to have some effect. This particular travel
episode involved a Christmas
concert at a school in Watertown, Wisconsin. Grand-daughter is a student there, away from
her folks in a dormitory. Wife
and I decided to make a minivacation out of the trip. We

the only rooster we put into the air. We flushed a couple of hens and
Vanna found a dead hen in some cattails the hawks were feeding on.
The second spot we hunted had tracks, but we didnt put any birds
in the air. Meanwhile back in my Suburban, I found out I didnt
have any power steering, so we stopped in Madison at Ericksons
Used Car garage and they got us back on the road by re-clamping a
faulty return hose. We did some more looking at likely hunting
spots, but decided to call it a day and headed back to ML. Kip Blizil
tells me his troops found limits of pheasants on their second run to
Heron, SD and came back with reservations for next falls hunting
season.
.
.
Vanna sniffed out a hen and rooster on our
Saturday walk in Ney Park and on Sunday we spotted six or seven
pheasant hens crossing the township road heading for Potters standing corn field which I figure is an indication things could get better
next year.

There are lots of images of Christmas in holiday decorations that
come alive each year in Maple Lake as well as other places, a Christian holiday honoring the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. Christmas has evolved into a worldwide religious and secular celebration,
incorporating many pre-Christian, pagan traditions into the festivities along the way. Today, Christmas is a time for family and friends
to get together and often exchange gifts, something we hope will
never change. One of the unusual stories about Christmas happened
in the trenches of World War 1 in Europe when both sides (Germans
and the English) ceased fighting each other on Christmas, crawled
out of their trenches and exchanged greetings and some gifts as the
story goes. Its about as good an example of Peace on Earth, Good
Will Toward Men as I can come up with for Christmas 2014, a year
that is winding down with riots, demonstrations, needless shootings,
cyber hacking, national bantering about whose to blame, threat of
retaliation, etc.
In spite of all that and the commercialism that has taken away
much of the true meaning of Christmas, that a Saviour was born, I
extend my best wishes for a Merry Christmas to the Messenger subscribers.

Im kind of glad the Vikings got beat Sunday with a blocked punt.
I was getting bored with the way Miami was moving down-field

think an overtime game would have been in the Vikings favor!

Another did not include a
base rate, instead the user rate
would increase to $6.25 in the
first year, for an average
monthly charge of $28 before
moving to $8 in the following
year, which would have set the
average fee at $36.
Earlier in the year we were
running cashflows to project the
2015 budget and cashflows
were lower than anticipated.
Commissioners were looking at
a lot of variables because it is
such a new plant, Hinnenkamp
said later in an interview.
We were at a point where
we were not at a comfortable
level. We thought maybe we
would have to increase rates. It
appeared we could potentially
have an issue.
But the additional access
charges due to the economic
growth in all three cities put the
commission in a better position.
There was not an immediate
concern
anymore,
Hinnenkamp said.
There are a lot of moving
parts, but the bottom line is
were comfortable with this
cashflow, she told the board
Thursday night.
In other business, the commission:
Learned from Plant Operator Joe Haller that primary tests
show the plant well within compliance, and flow results
showed that peaks are down
some which means cities are

Penny was the best dog ever.
After a few years we got Jigzy
and Magzy. When Jigzy and
Magzy ran a- way Penny would
call for them. Then one day
Penny was pregnant. She was
throwing up blood. My Mom
and Dad took her to the vet but
it was too late. She died in the
car. I miss Penny so much.
Sarah Jensen - No Christmas On Christmas some kids
dont get gifts like you and I will.
At some churches they have a
get our sleeping bags and pillows and turn on a movie and go
to bed. The next day when both
of us are up we will try to find
the elf on the shelf. Then we will
play again. Finally we will eat
lunch and by then it will be time
to take my friend home.
Joey Spike - A Bad Snow
Day When it first snowed this
year my Dad and I went to the
farm. When we were backing
out of the garage we got stuck.
Then we called our friends to
help pull us out, but that car didnt have anywhere to hook a
hitch up to so we had to keep it
at there. Then at the end of the
day my Dad brought the Bobcat
over to our house and we got the
car out.

Donnelly Drive
continued from page 1
From a liability standpoint,
vacating is a good idea, said
Township Attorney Michael
Couri (of Couri & Ruppe,
P.L.L.P.), who led the discussion
at the township meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 16. But does it make
sense traffic wise and convenience wise?
Due to the safety concerns on
that stretch of Donnelly, board
members also wondered if it
might be better to simply eliminate the road and not replace it,
instead re-routing traffic out to
Highway 55 along Dempsey and
Dillon.
More than 100 residents, including the fire chief and postmaster, attended last weeks
meeting.
If the original stretch of road
were to be vacated and not replaced, residents would have to
drive about a mile further to reach
town using Dempsey or Dillon
Avenues as alternate routes. Fire
Chief Todd Borell was in attendance and said the new route
would not impact the fire department at all.
Its not a fire department
issue because were going to go a
different direction anyhow, he
said, adding that fire trucks would
take Highway 55, which is paved
and gives them the ability to drive
faster than the gravel and curvy
Donnelly Drive.
Postmaster Ed Trager was also
in attendance. He said that nine
Giebenhain agreed.
We see this as an opportunity
to improve the road for safety and
for traffic from (Highway) 55 and
(County Road) 37 along Donnelly, he said. If theyre willing
to pay for an upgrade
The original stretch of road
was built in 1879, when only a
handful of farmhouses were present. Development has since
brought numerous cabins, homes
and families to the area, and some
claim the road simply wasnt
made for the current traffic levels.
You say it wasnt built for
this traffic, but apparently it was
because its still there, said one
resident at Tuesdays meeting. I
think we should leave it alone.
Others pointed out that the
new stretch of road wouldnt be
as much of a straight shot as it
will include some 90-degree
curves, which may lower speeds
and reduce the cut-across traffic.
Residents living on the other
ends of Donnelly (not on the
stretch in question) wondered
how the change would benefit
them and the high speed of traffic
traveling past their homes. The
answer was that it might not benefit them at all, but it was unlikely
to make the situation any worse.
Those residents were encouraged
to bring their own issues before
the board at another time.
Would this help? one asked.
I think it would. It think its a
start and at least Pribyl brought it
to the table.
While the meeting was not a
vote of the people, the board
opted to ask the crowd for their
opinion before making their own
final decision. Roughly 30 people
raised their hands when asked
who wanted to leave Donnelly
Drive as it is. Another 45 wanted
to vacate the existing road, and
more than 60 raised their hands
when asked if they would prefer
to vacate the existing road and
build a new one.
In the end, Supervisor Ronald
Wolff voted to vacate the current
stretch of road and build the new
one at the Pribyl familys expense. Giebenhain seconded it,
and Clerk Dick Hogan agreed in
a unanimous decision.
Were trying to make something work that benefits everyone, Giebenhain said.
The gravel along the stretch to
be vacated will be moved to the
new road location with the Pribyl
family covering all costs. They
will also pay any additional fees
associated with the construction
of the new road and for a cul-de-

The Maple Lake boys basketball team won their own pre-holiday tournament last week by
handily defeating both MayerLutheran and Foley.
The Irish started off the twoday event with an 82-65 win
over Mayer-Lutheran, on Thursday, Dec. 18. On Friday, Dec.
19, they went on to defeat Foley,
68-39 for the championship.
It was fun to see the players
after the games smiling and
wearing their tournament champion t-shirts, head coach Tim
Staloch said after Friday nights
game.
The entire team contributed
Thursday against the Royals.
The Irish jumped to a quick lead
and only lengthened it as the
game went on. By the end of the
first half the home team was up
43-28.
The lead allowed some of the

The Maple Lake girls basketball team claimed their first win
of the season, Tuesday, Dec. 16,
beating Holdingford 38-26, then
went on to take third place in the
Eden Valley-Watkins Pre-Holiday Tournament after a heartstopping, one-point victory over
Sauk Rapids-Rice.
The girls are now 1-1 in the
Central Minnesota Conference,
since Holdingford was a conference game, and 2-4 overall.
The Irish started out using
full-court pressure, Tuesday, to
expose the younger, less experienced Huskers, Irish Head Coach
Adam Ronnenberg said.
With some quick run-outs for
easy baskets, the Irish managed
to gain and hold a commanding
24-12 lead at the half.
Maple Lake slowed a little in
the second half offensively, but
their defense held out to claim
the long-awaited win.
Emily Webb scored a career
high 20 points for the night.
It was nice to see us jump out
at the start of the game, Ronnenberg said. We are gaining confidence each day and will continue
to improve our shooting.
On Thursday, Dec. 18, The
Irish traveled to Eden ValleyWatkins for a pre-holiday tournament where they fell 60-33 to the
home-town Eagles in their first
match-up.
Maple Lake struggled to find
a rhythm offensively thanks in
part to EV-Ws tough pressure
defense. The Irish found themselves down 38-12 at the end of
the half.
Despite
making
some
changes and playing a better second half, according to Ronnenberg, the Irish just couldnt
recover.
Eden Valley-Watkins is the
favorite in the conference this
season, Ronnenberg said. But
the Irish are focused, growing
each day and looking forward to
the next time they meet.
Morgan Scheiber had a good
night for the Irish, leading scor-
