DNR: ATVs are

always in season
Back to school sales and State
Fair advertisements are the first
signs of a waning summer, and
with Labor Day just around the
corner, theres an uptick in allterrain vehicle (ATV) recreation
as adults and teens try to squeeze
in a few more rides before the
snow flies.
According to the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources, ATVs are always in season regardless of sun or snow.
And DNR conservation officers
want to get the word out to both
adults and youths to ride with
caution and care.
Six people, ranging from
ages 6- to 53-years-old, have
been killed in all-terrain vehicle
accidents in Minnesota so far this
year, said acting Capt. Jon Paurus, DNR Enforcement education program coordinator. That
compares to 13 total fatalities in
2014.
Knowing where and when
you can ride ATVs is important.
It is illegal to operate on the inside slope, shoulder and roadway
of state and county roads. Class
2 ATVs (1,200-1,800 pounds)
may be operated on the shoulder
or extreme right side of county or
township roads and city streets if
not prohibited by the road authority or other local laws.
Understanding the rules and
regulations governing ATV use
can also prevent a court appearance and fine. He urged ATV
users to contact the DNR or their
local law enforcement agency to
learn the rules in their areas. Paurus also recommends completing
the ATV safety training course.
Anyone born after July 1,
1987, who operates an ATV on
public lands and waters in Minnesota, must successfully complete the ATV safety training
online course. Those under age
16 must complete the ATV online course and riding component before operating ATVs on
public lands.
Recreational ATV use can be
enjoyable, but sometimes people
don't understand the rules and
regulations that govern their
use, Paurus said. Although
they are usually a small percentage of users, these are the riders
who can cast all ATV users in a
bad light.

After five years of discussing

a preschool education program,
the staff at St. Timothy's has chosen this year to undertake the
program.
Lisa Hennen, who had been
working with families and students in Kimball, was selected as
the the new preschool teacher
and is very excited and hopeful
about the new program.
The new classroom is the old
sixth grade room overlooking
the playground. There was a
small challenge of rearranging,
but the staff feels they have
found all the right places for the
students. There will be two
groups of preschoolers to start
with, three-year-olds on Tuesday
and Thursday and four-year-olds
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The principal of St. Tims,
Dawn Kincs, is also very excited
about the program and the new
hire. The duo, Hennen and
Kincs, are looking forward to
working together and were all
smiles talking about the new
program.
The new preschool will incorporate some very unique and
intriguing ideas. New to St.
Tims, a "Smart Board", a digital
white board that will accommodate students with touch screen
activation, and physical activity

that encourages standing and
moving around the board. Hennen was very adamant about getting the students up and moving,
away from sitting in the
hunched-over
posture
of
younger students. The students
can now stand up, touch their
names, and drag and drop with a
finger for attendance, which
makes a simple task more fun
and hands-on. The aspect of
more physical movement is seen
in more detail with another strategy from Hennen, described as
making the classroom more
"play-based". This close-quarters playing uses movement to
help students become adjusted to
the classroom environment and
creates an opportunity for learn-
ing motor skill function, adding

a more physical approach to
learning.
Another important aspect of
the new preschool is art. "We
will be doing art every day," said
Hennen. Art is a very nice conduit for learning, especially for
three- or four-year-olds. The
ideas and concepts are more easily grasped by younger minds
when there is a creative outlet for
them to learn on their own, along
with help and guidance from an
educator. Students have the opportunity to learn math, literacy,
and other mechanisms through
art depending upon the lesson.

Zaske to represent fair at Aquatennial

by Ashley Becker
Correspondent
Last August 2014 Maple

Lakes very own Maria Zaske
was selected to represent the
Wright County Fair and was
crowned Fairest of the Fair
2014-2015 alongside Amy Marquette and Chelsea Menshausen. The Fairest of the
Fair is an ambassador program.
Each year the ambassadors go
to events in and out of the
county to promote the Wright
County Fair, explained Zaske.
The Fairest of the Fair program is very similar to our
Maple Lake Ambassadors program in the events participated
in and attended by the crowned
ambassadors. Zaske shared her
experience as an ambassador
for The Fairest of the Fair. We
went to most of the parades and
coronations within Wright
County as well as some outside
of the county. For example,
some of the festivities we attended included Maple Lake,
Buffalo, Monticello, Annandale, Waverly, Delano, and
Anoka. We also did numerous
volunteering with other royalties and ambassador programs,
said Zaske.
Beyond activities held outside of the fair, the Fairest of
the Fair Ambassadors keep
plenty busy during the Wright
County Fair itself. At the
M3 Contracting is in the running for the ultimate crew.

The folks at M3 Contracting

know they are good at what they
do, and now they have the opportunity to prove it.
Earlier this summer, Dave
Mavencamp, Maple Lake graduate and owner of the directional
drilling business M3 Contracting, entered a national contest
that chooses the ultimate crew
out of hundreds of similar crews
throughout the United States and
Canada.
Mavencamps crew has already earned top-eight status and
is now entered in a popular vote
contest that could land them an
all-expense paid trip to Kentucky
for even more prizes.
We have found in our travels
that there is not a better crew than
us out there, Mavencamp said.
He attributes their success to
the camaraderie of their small,
tight-knit crews.
M3 Contracting is based out
of Monticello, located near Silver
Creek. It is a small company with
only two crews. The crew that
entered the contest is made up of
Mavencamps
son,
Colby
Mavencamp,
his
stepson,
Michael Muir, and Matt Schneider. Schneider and Colby
Mavencamp are Maple Lake
High School graduates and Muir
graduated from Monticello.
This group travels the Midwest together from top to bottom, Mavencamp said, from
Texas to North Dakota and
everything in between.
Were tight knit, he said.
The camaraderie we have is
way better than other crews.
Some of the other crews dont

even know each other.
The contest is hosted by the
Vermeer Corporation and entrants must use a Vermeer horizontal directional drill in their
business. To enter, Mavencamp
had to submit an essay explaining why he felt M3 has the ultimate crew. A panel of 12
manufacturing professionals,
peers and university professors
involved in the industry then reviewed each essay, going so far
as to contact companies customers for testimonials, then selected the top eight.
Once chosen, Vermeer sent
out a video crew to tape the M3
guys and that is now posted on
their site at http://www.navigatornation.com/contest/ultimatecrew. Voters can review all eight
crews and vote for their favorite.
Anyone can vote, but only once
a day until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday,
August 30.
Now its more of an American Idol kind of competition
where its based on a popular
vote, Mavencamp said.
As of last weekend, the M3
crew was in fifth place.
Were excited, he said.
We took one thing at a time.
When we put in our essay we
wanted to see if we could make
the top eight, that was our goal.
Now well see if we can get into
the top four.
M3 Contracting is a directional drilling contractor that primarily installs fiber cables and
some electrical and gas lines.

At their most recent meeting,

Tuesday, August 18, Maple Lake
City Council members adopted
a resolution calling for a public
hearing to be held Tuesday, September 15, at 7 p.m., on the
question of establishing an Economic Development Authority
(EDA), as recommended by
Economic Development Director Jo Foust.
Every state and many local
governments have economic development agencies dedicated to
assisting new and established
businesses to start, grow and
succeed. With the ability to buy,
sell and develop properties, the
Maple Lake EDAs purpose,
Mayor Lynn Kissock said,
would be to facilitate economic
development activities within
the community.
An EDA must consist of a
three-, five-, or seven-member
board, each with a six-year term,

and serves as a recommending
body to the council. Council representation is required on the
EDA with a minimum of one
councilmember on a three-member board and a minimum of two
on a five- or seven-member
board. A public hearing must be
held before establishing an
EDA, which is a separate political body and can own property.
It can also have a separate levy
for development that would otherwise be funded through the
General Fund. Foust has recommended the establishment of a
five-member commission, and
as it is a new entity, with the
councilmembers serving as original members, their terms coinciding with council terms. If the
city desires to change the makeup in the future, bylaws can be
amended.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Never in my born
days did I think Id
have something good
to say about Bull
Thistles. Thats because I was raised on
a dairy farm that also
had hogs and chickens and grain (oats,
barley, and wheat)
was part of their
diets. This was before combines and
farmers cut their
small grain crops
with a machine
called a grain binder
which cut the standing grain and tied it
neatly in a bundle. One of my jobs during harvest was to stand one
bundle against another with six or eight in a shock. If you wanted to
get fancy youd take a single bundle and place it lengthwise on the
top of upright bundles. I only did this if it was a wheat crop. This
was in the late forties and even though the crops were spot-sprayed
to kill the weeds, it seems there were always some thistles on parts
of the field. I got along pretty well with Canadian and sow-thistles,
but those bull thistles didnt show any mercy! Working with the bundles early in the morning while there was still dew took some of the
pain away when youd have a bundle under each arm. Thank God
for combines!
Actually, when I took the photo above of some bull thistle blos-
The
Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
It's quiet again here. Daughter and Granddaughter went to
Wisconsin with a carload of stuff
a college freshman would need.
Before they left, they also filled
up our SUV with more stuff a
college freshman might need,
after putting stuff a college
freshman won't need in our
garage. Then they came back for
even more stuff and left a couple
days later. We will deliver our
stuff in a week or so just to make
our back seat useful again.
Granddaughter went to China
with a school group and returned
just in time to take a driver's test.
You can imagine how that went
after flying on a plane for hours

and hours and hours. Her
learner's permit was still good,
though, and on their return
without her purse by mistake
it paid off. A copy of the permit
proved sufficient. The state
keeps track of those things.
Daughter is concerned with paying off college, too, and mentioned several times how
important a job was going to be.
But how many times does a kid
get to go to China?
China! There were a dozen
students on the trip, and they
each raised a couple grand to go.
It was no doubt a bargain. When

and load up on nectar. Thats to say there is something good about a
weed that I despised and Ill have to admit the fuchsia blossom adds
an attractive color along the park trails Ive been hiking on with
Vanna. I guess the saying, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, fits

Ken Hennen and I took in three close state tournament baseball
games Saturday at Watkins and watched Lamberton edge Shakopee
2-1. At 1:30 p.m. Delanos Jake Gleason held the Sleepy Eye nine
in check with first baseman Toby Hanson providing a solo home run
in the seventh inning which gave the Athletics a two-run lead. Trevor
Jaunich picked up a three-inning save behind some outstanding defensive efforts at short and second base. They will play New London-Spicer at 5 p.m. Saturday at Watkins. Rain threatening skies
opened up between the Delano game and the Kimball game (5:00
p.m.) and believe me the grounds crew didnt need to wet down the
infield after that. Kimball won 3-2 over Nimrod in another close
game which was delayed briefly by rain. With the game tied 2-2
going into the ninth, Kimball went ahead 3-2 on Ben Johnsons
homer and in the bottom of the inning first baseman, Kyle Winter,
caught a line-drive shot for the third out and subsequent win. Adam
Beyer also had a round-tripper. They will play Ada Sunday at 11 a.m.
in Watkins. Ken and I stayed for about three innings of the RoseauCannon Falls game. Roseau was ahead 1-0, but lost 6-2. Cannon
Falls goes on to play Bertha who has a former Laker pitcher, John
Riewer, on the line-up along with four other Riewers. Region champ
Howard Lake will play Lastrup at 7:30 p.m. at Cold Spring Saturday.
Lastrup defeated Fairmont 5-4 on Sunday. Going to the Watkins
games for Hennen was just like an old-home week as he was born
and raised on a farm in that area and still knows a lot of the people
living there, including relatives. Watkins residents can take pride in
the work they did to get their Clipper baseball park ready for the
tournament. It took a lot of hard work and cooperation and it shows
in the finished product. They re-built their grandstand, installed former Viking seats and added a concession stand and souvenir store
along with a first-class scoreboard to complement the diamond and
outfield. It reminded me of Iowas field of dreams with corn fields
circling the outfield. They have fan porches, one elevated, on both
sides.
I was a high school senior, we

got to go to Columbia Park in
Nordeast Minneapolis. It didn't
cost two grand, and we didn't
need a translator. I don't think
Dad even got to go Nordeast.
My first quarter at college
cost $58 for tuition. Granddaughters are paying multitudes
more. Now they can get degrees
in Women's Studies or Art History instead of Business or Engineering.
Another Granddaughter is
going to Spain for a school year
to teach Spaniards English. It's a
long way to go when a good
share of students here haven't
learned English yet.
Uncles, four or five of them,
went abroad free, but they had to
carry weapons and not college
textbooks. I got to go abroad
free, too, but had to carry systems work and a portable computer when they weighed about
forty pounds. Nobody shot at

me.
We'll be in attendance for
opening ceremonies at one
school. Our yard has had a car
parked under a tree for a year
waiting for the girls. Now they
are licensed, but they will be an
hour apart, and it's not my job to
figure out which one gets to
drive, or when. The first one to
get a job and can afford the extra
insurance cost will be the chauffeur for the other one.
My college plan was to get
on a bus to the U and try to
schedule classes near the bus
line. It's no use comparing what
went on way back when with
modern times. I didn't need a
computer. Come to think of it,
there were no personal computers, unless you invented one, and
then nobody could have conversed with you anyway. Times
change.
ring a claim against the business. The fact that a person is

not represented by an attorney
and is not legally trained will
not change that result. Nor will
the fact that a party opted for the
more informal venue of conciliation court. So its important to
know the answer to the question: Who do I sue?
Corporations, partnerships,
and limited liability companies
are common forms of business
entities. A corporation is owned
by a shareholder or shareholders
and is managed and controlled
by a board of directors. Generally, its the corporation that is
liable for its debts and obligations, not its shareholders. Partnerships come in different
types: general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability
partnership, limited liability
limited partnership. A key difference between these partnerships is the extent a partners
personal assets are protected
against liability incurred by the
partnership, such as tort and
contract liabilities. Limited liability companies combine the
taxation of a partnership with
the limited liability of a corporation. There are other differences and similarities between
these common forms of business entities. The Minnesota
Department of Employment and
Economic Development has
more information. The Minnesota Office of the Secretary of
State also has information, and
there you can search for an individual business.
A person who believes they
have a claim against a business
must be sure to sue the properlynamed entity, even in the more
informal conciliation court.
John Doe may be the owner, the

manager, or the face of the
business that harmed a person,
but he may not necessarily be
the party to sue. If the business
caused the harm, the lawsuit is
against that business. A person
cannot come into court after
theyve mistakenly sued Mr.
Doe and explain, but hes the
owner, judge. Likewise, a
suing party must use caution
when an insurance company is
involved. Many businesses
carry insurance to protect assets
against lawsuits. While the insurance company may eventually pay the damages caused by
the insured business, its not the
insurance
company
that
wronged the personits the
business. So be sure to know
who caused the harm before you
sue. Consulting an attorney is
best.
Even if a person has identified the right party to sue,
though, they may not be able to
bring their action in conciliation
court. Jurisdiction is limited in
conciliation court, meaning certain claims cannot be brought.
As noted, claims for more than
$15,000 cannot be brought in
conciliation court. Other specific actions and claims are also
prohibited, including class-action lawsuits, medical-malpractice claims, eviction and
marriage-dissolution actions,
and claims involving title to real
estate. So, even if youve properly identified the party to sue,
be sure you can sue in conciliation court. If you cannot sue
there, you will have to proceed
in district court.
Its in your court

Dear Editor,
Most drivers on the road have
seen a law enforcement officer
performing a traffic stop. Some
of you may have even experienced the traffic stop first-hand!
Whichever the case, a number of
drivers are still not aware of a
Minnesota Law requiring drivers to move over one lane when
passing a stopped emergency
vehicle(s) or road repair equipment. This law is known as the
Ted Foss Law. On August 31,
law enforcement all across Minnesota will be working to educate drivers of this law.
The law is designed to give
emergency vehicles room to
work on the portion of roadway
they are occupying by requiring
passing motorists (who are driving on roads with at least two
lanes traveling in the same direction) to leave a lane vacant
between them and those parked
emergency vehicles. The law
also requires that drivers reduce
their speed as they pass the location of the emergency vehicle(s)
and road repair equipment. Failure to do so could result in a

traffic citation and fine.
Motor vehicle hits continue
to be a leading cause of death
among Minnesota Law Enforcement Officers and emergency
workers. The law is named for
Minnesota State Patrol Trooper,
Ted Foss, who was conducting a
traffic stop for a speeding motorist and was speaking to the
driver when another vehicle
veered over and struck his squad
car. Trooper Foss died at the
scene.
Law enforcement, emergency responders and road
crews serve to keep roads safe
for the motoring public. It is the
responsibility of motorists to
pay attention to ensure the safety
of those performing what are
often life-saving duties on the
roads.
Sincerely,
Trooper Kevin Brisk

To the Editor:
Before we begin the business
of electing a president in 2016,
we should pause a moment to
appreciate President Barack
Obama. A recent article in
Forbes Business Magazine (I
know! - Forbes!) presents data
that indicates that President
Obama is the "best economic
president in modern times".
When his economic record
(more than 64 straight months of
job growth) is combined with
the ending of 2 wars and providing health care to additional millions of Americans, it is apparent
that we should be asking President Obama to serve a third
term. I am not a great friend of
the Republican Party, but it
seems only fair to point out that
fewer jobs, more wars and less
health care may not be a winning
strategy.
Knowing that Democrats traditionally are better stewards of
the American economy, some
may suggest that the conservative vote should be regulated in
the interests of a better life for

Americans. Should we shorten
voting hours or restrict absentee
voting or require some identification for conservatives? I think
not...voter suppression was a
bad idea when Republicans tried
to make it more difficult for minorities and students to vote, and
it is an equally bad idea to suppress the conservative vote for
the sake of the economy. Ours is
a democracy; there is no law that
requires people to vote for their
own best interest.
Economists would agree that
the American economy is fundamentally strong, and it should be
able to withstand an occasional
Republican presidency so long
as it is followed by a Democratic
president to restore prosperity.
While our recovery is real, it is
fragile. It is probably too risky to
change course in 2016, but there
is no reason that voters could not
at least consider a Republican
president in 2024.

City Council
continued from page 1
In other business, the council:
Heard an update on the status of the 2015 Sewer Repairs
Project from City Engineer Phil
Gravel and directed him to prepare a formal contract change
order with SAK Construction for
approval at the September city
council meeting. Due to poor
condition of the pipes, a few
challenging segments were not
lined in 2013. These segments,
in the backyard area north of
Sunset Street between Rose and
Elm Avenues and Sunset Street
on the first half-block east of
Rose Avenue, consist of six-inch
diameter clay pipe with several
misaligned joints, cracks and
sags. It is proposed to replace the
six-inch sewer with eight-inch
PVC sewer and to replace an existing two-inch galvanized water
main with a four-inch PVC
main. LaTour Construction
would complete the work in a
change-order under the existing
contract for the 2013 I&I Improvement Project, as a subcontractor to SAK. The quoted
amount to complete the construction as proposed is
$159,279.05, approximately 10
percent higher than the amount
estimated in the projects feasibility report. The revised estimated project total cost is
$183,200, compared to the projected amount of $166,100.
About half of the project cost
will be eligible for a low-interest
loan based on previous feedback
from the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA). Upon
approval of the change order in
September, construction would
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.
Agreed to share with the
Maple Lake Fire Department in
the cost for an actuarial study of
pension liabilities for new government accounting standards.
The study, necessary for the Fire
Relief Association to meet requirements of the standards,
comes at a cost of $2,400. The
city will contribute half of that
amount.
Requested a letter of interest
be posted on the citys website
and Facebook page for citizens
interested in serving on the Park
Board. The board is currently
short one member.
Ultimate Crew
The company has been
around since 2011 and the crews
pride themselves on the quality
and timeliness of their work.
If chosen to be among the top
four, the M3 crew will be flown
to Louisville, Kentucky in late
September to take part in the No.
1 show in the United States and
Canada for their industry.
Vermeer will parade them
around, Mavencamp said, and
judge them on how they interact
with the people. Then there will

be a drill skills competition and
the crew with the highest score
will win it all.
The grand prize is a free
year-long lease on a Series II
Navigator horizontal directional
drill.
Were a small, familyowned, tight-knit company,
Mavencamp said. Were extremely proud of ourselves. This
is a great accomplishment.
Cruikshank selected city

manager in Golden Valley
Tim Cruikshank has been selected as the next city manager
in Golden Valley. He was chosen by the Golden Valley City
Council after he and three other
finalists were interviewed late
last week.
Cruikshank has been Anoka's
city manager since 2001. He
will replace retiring Golden Valley City Manager Tom Burt.
According to the Golden
Valley City Council, Cruik-
shank emerged as the top candidate because he is prepared for

the new role, his organization
skills, his respect for others, the
similarities between the challenges in Anoka and Golden
Valley, an appealing management style, a great personality
and his familiarity with Golden
Valley.
A date for Cruikshank's departure from his role in Anoka
has not yet been announced.
Tabled action on entering

into a non-binding letter of intent reserving a subscription to
one of solar developer SunShares community solar gardens until similar proposals from
two other companies can be considered.
Approved a policy for a proposed airport courtesy car,
which would be provided by the
city for the local use of pilots
and their passengers. The courtesy car would be available on a
first-come first-served basis and
its use would be subject to a
number of conditions, including
four-hour and 15-mile radius
limits as well as proof of current
car insurance covering the
driver.
Closed out Fund 313
Geneva Road/6th Northwest
Street Project. This year is the
last that assessments will be received on this project. The balance of $5,316.84 and any
remaining assessments will be
transferred to the General Fund.
Was introduced to Wright
County Sheriffs Deputy Dan
Warren, Maple Lakes new fulltime law enforcement officer.
Renewed a Consumption
and Display (setup) permit allowing Irish Blessings to sell

setup beverages to customers
who have brought in liquor.
Agreed to reduce an $854
meter cost to $427 for Paul
Zumbusch for corrections to a
drainage problem at his building
on the corner of Birch Avenue
and First Street.
Approved a consent agenda
that included City Clerk Lee
Ann Yagers attendance at the
Clerks Advanced Academy
September 10-11; the hiring of
Nagel Appraisal Service at a cost
of $1,000 to appraise two parcels
at 820 Spruce Avenue North
listed in the feasibility study for
the future industrial park land;
payment number 11 of $13,215
to SAK Construction for the Inflow and Infiltration Reduction
(I&I) Project; a proposal from
Braun Engineering at an estimated cost of $3,070 for construction materials testing for the
Hangar Area Pavement Project
at the airport; and an exempt
permit for the Church of St. Timothys raffle January 2, 2016.
The councils next meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 15,

County looking at
project bonding options
by John Holler
Correspondent
The Wright County Board of

Commissioners heard a presentation at its Aug. 18 meeting
from Auditor/Treasurer Bob Hiivala concerning the bonding for
the $17.3 million Public Works
Building project, but ran into a
rare instance of deciding whether
to vote on the matter with just
three commissioners in attendance or to lay the item over.
At question was the opportunity to split the bond issue in two
bonding cycles in hopes of saving significant money in the
process.
We have an opportunity to
break that bond into two segments, Hiivala said. If we keep
it at $10 million or less, we can
offer it out on the market as bank
qualified, meaning more people
can bid on it and a local bank can
buy those bonds. The belief is,
through the financial advisers,
that we will get more competitive bids on those bonds because
there will be that many more
bids that we can receive for
them.
The proposal would be to
take the $17.28 bond for the
project and break it up into one
bid proposal for $10 million and

another for $7.28 million and
make them two separate bond issues. Under the numbers that
Springstead estimated to the
county, the savings would be approximately $35,000 a year,
which would add up to $700,000
over the life of the bonds.
The board didnt make a decision on the bond question or a
potential opportunity to refinance the bonds on the Law Enforcement Center because the
board met with only three commissioners. Commissioners Pat
Sawatzke and Christine Husom
were attending a mock terrorist
attack exercise at the Monticello
Nuclear Power Plants Emergency Operations Center, leaving the five-member board with
just three at the Aug. 18 meeting.
Its something that we
should look at because of the
volatility of the bond market,
Hiivala said. The amount of potential savings is pretty significant and were spending
taxpayer money for these projects. Anywhere we can save
money, we want to do it.

A groundbreaking ceremony
was held on Monday, August 17,
for the new Wright County Highway Maintenance/Office facility,
which will be located at 3600
Braddock Avenue NE, at the
northern end of the City of Buffalo. Members of the highway,
IT, and administration departments were joined on site by representatives of HCM Architects
and Krause-Anderson Construction Company.
The new facility has a projected completion date of August,2016 and will meet a variety
of needs for the Wright County
Highway Department, including
improved and expanded work
areas for equipment maintenance
and storage for equipment used
in both the day-to-day operations
and for seasonal events. These
events include activities such as

snow/ice maintenance, shouldering, culvert replacement, pothole
patching, weed control, mowing,
sign and pavement maintenance,
and engineering lab work. The
facility will also provide an improved and more efficient office
area for engineers and office personnel, a more accommodating
environment for addressing the
needs of the public transportation
system, much-needed meeting
space, and improved storage for
important and necessary record
keeping.
HCM Architects designed the
facility and Krause-Anderson is
the construction manager for the
project. Approximate total project cost for the facility is estimated at $15.75 million.

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!

Colin J. Berg, an Army Reserve Officers Training Corps

cadet at St. John's University,
Collegeville, Minn., has graduated from the Cadet Leader
Course at Fort Knox, KY. CLC
is a 30-day summer training
event focused on training cadets
to solve complex leadership issues and problems at the company level.
Cadets arrive at CLC with a
baseline of military skill sets;
the cadets also have developed
critical thinking and problem
solving abilities during the academic years. CLC builds upon
the work accomplished on campus and develops the cadet's
small unit leadership ability in
a tactical environment.
The leadership experience
supports continued cadet development during the senior year
of the program. Cadets usually
attend CLC between their junior and senior years of college,
and they must complete the
course to qualify for commissioning.
Upon successful completion
of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned
as second lieutenants in the
U.S. Army, Army National
Guard, or Army Reserve.
Berg is the son of Barbara
and Stephen Berg of Maple
Lake.

Speed-dating for local Food

producers and buyers
Buying food grown locally
helps strengthen communities
and puts fresh, healthy food on
the dinner plates. Sourcing locally also helps grow our understanding and appreciation of the
farms, orchards and vineyards
in the region. When restaurants
and other food service organizations highlight local food on
their menus, they stand out in a
crowded marketplace.
To make more of this happen, University of Minnesota
Extension, Local Roots Food
Co-op and the Crow River Food
Council are hosting a matchmaking event on September
23rd, 1-5 p.m. at the Wright
County Government Center, 10
2nd St. NW, Buffalo, MN
55313, Room 120, that will
bring together producers and institutional buyersschools,
restaurants, caterers and businesses--of locally-produced
foods for an informational
event and networking exercise.
Direct marketing helps producers manage market risk by
giving them more control over
how and when they sell their
products, more control over
pricing and a greater share of
the revenue from sales. Institutional buyers likewise gain
more control of their supply
chain by dealing directly with
producers to communicate specific requirements.

creating direct connections this

event can provide producers
with the skills they need to sell
to new kinds of buyers and the
opportunity to connect one-onone with restauranteurs, chefs,
distributors, marketing networks, and institutional buyers
who wish to feature local foods
in their menus. A speed dating technique, successfully
used in other parts of the state,
will be used to make connections between producers and
buyers.
Extension specialists and
other experts will speak about
things to know for buyers and
for producers. Several producers and their buyers will share
their stories and answer questions. Some topics to be discussed will be: fair pricing,
contracts, quality standards,
food safety, storage, aggregation and delivery.
Space is limited. The first 10
producers and 10 buyers to register will participate in the
match-making session. Others
are welcome to attend, learn

RD2: (C.J. Anderson, RB
Denver) The job is clearly Andersons heading into the season. And with Gary Kubiak
back in Denver, the Broncos
figure to be more run oriented
than in the past. In the second
half of 2014, once being designated as the go-to guy in Denvers ground game, Anderson
rushed for 767 yards and 8 TDs.
He also caught 30 balls for 290
yards and 2 more TDs.
RD3: (Brandin Cooks, WR
New Orleans) One of my draft
day rules is to lean toward WRs
who have the benefit of playing
with an elite QB. Drew Brees is
just that, whereas any Houston
Texans QB is not and that is the
main reason Cooks gets the nod
over DeAndre Hopkins, for me.

Big Ben. Roethlisberger hasnt

whereas Brown is one more

Thomas. In his first four games,
Bryant caught six TDs. At 64,
hes a great red zone target for
Big Ben.
RD7: (Joique Bell, RB Detroit) For the record, nobody
in this group blew my socks off,
so Bell was the selection for two
reasons. 1) He is the starter and
will get a bulk of the carries in
Detroit, at least until he loses
the job to rookie Ameer Abdullah. 2) With the uncertainty of
Joseph Randle, Bell is the one
player in the group that could be
inserted into the starting line-up
with confidenceagain, until
Abdullah takes his job.

against everything I stand for, as
a fantasy owner. Usually one to

my squad needed some stability.
Although I love Oakland rookie

unproven Cooks already on my

sense. With Luck, you know

RD5: (Joseph Randle, RB

Instead of a typical preview

How to save on school supplies

Back to school season can be
as expensive for parents as it is
exciting for students. Once the
initial letdown of the end of
summer vacation wears off,
many kids are excited to return
to school, where they can see
their friends, study their favorite
subjects and participate in extracurricular activities.
Parents of school-aged
youngsters may share in that excitement while also knowing
that back to school season can
stretch their budgets. One of the
ways to salvage those budgets is
to save on school supplies. Fortunately, there are several ways
parents can do just that.
Be patient. Shopping early
can save shoppers money in
many instances, but parents may

benefit by exercising patience
when it comes to buying school
supplies for their children.
Teachers often give students lists
of supplies they will need for
each class, and parents who wait
to receive such lists can avoid
spending money on items their
kids won't need. Even if you
wait it out, you may be able to
get a head start, as some teachers
may post supply lists on school
websites, while others might
email lists to parents before back
to school season hits full swing.
Take inventory. If you have
more than one child, chances are
you already have lots of school
supplies around the house. Dust
off kids' backpacks and study
areas from last school year to determine which supplies you need
to buy and which you already
have. Going forward, encourage
kids to store their supplies in a
predetermined area once the
school year ends, as this will
make next year's inventory that
much easier to examine and assess.
Spend more now to save
later. While inexpensive supplies can be hard to resist, such
items likely won't withstand the
test of time, forcing you to spend
time and money each year buying replacement supplies. Paying more now for certain items,
including stronger backpacks
and more highly rated calculators, may end up saving you
money in the long run, even if

the initial pill is somewhat tough
to swallow.
Use technology to your advantage. Department stores and
businesses that sell school supplies, such as pharmacies and office stores, may or may not
discount too many items once
back to school season hits full
swing. But savvy parents can
still find deals by using technology to their advantage when
shopping for school supplies.
Download apps like RetailMeNot to your smartphone and
enable its updates so your phone
essentially notifies you of any
discounts the moment you walk
into a given store. If you don't
receive any updates, search for
partment heads will be able to

use the purchasing cards similarly to the way credit cards are
used. The purpose of the cards
was to reduce the number of
checks that the county cuts to
vendors for purchases made by
department heads. Auditor/Treasurer Bob Hiivala said that the
purchasing policy needs to be
updated, since the policy currently in place has been the same
since the late 1980s.
* Approved paying an additional $2,800 above the minimum salary for the hiring of an
assistant county attorney. The
candidate was extremely qualified and previously worked with
the attorney generals office.
County Attorney Tom Kelly said
the candidate has a wealth of
trial experience and a strong resume of different caseloads that
give her experience that most attorneys dont have and she was
extremely qualified for the position at a salary of $70,000. It
was the first time in Kellys 31
years with the Wright County
Attorneys office that he has
made such a request.
* Held a public hearing for

proposed amendments to the
Wright County Water Surface
Use Ordinance. The amendments included a correction to
the no-wake elevation on Lake
Ann, lowering the triggering
point for a no-wake zone to
987.5 feet, down from 990.5 feet
which will impose a no-wake
speed zone to 300 feet from
shore. The other amendment
was for Lake Charlotte, which
would impose a no-wake zone
150 feet from shore between
Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Two residents spoke up, one in
favor of the amendment saying
it would be a best management
practice, and another saying its
impossible to regulate, extremely difficult to enforce and
an undue regulation that isnt
necessary in most instances. The
board approved the amendments, but it nearly failed because there were only three
commissioners and, in that instance, a unanimous vote is required to meet the standard of
three of the five commissioners
voting the same way to approve

Storytime ends season in the forest Schoolseum winners selected for

the Showcasing Success Contest
by Ginger OLoughlin
Senior Connections
Summer Storytime ended its

season in the FOREST, the last
stop on their list looking for Animal Friends. Twenty-four children joined Marie Mavencamp
as she read two books filled with
many different forest and woodland critters. They also shared
many pictures, stuffed animals
and stories of their adventures in
the woods. Everyone had a
chance to be Little Speckled
Frog in a song Mavencamp
taught them. The last project of
the season was decorating a picture frame with stickers of all the
different animal friends the children learned about. After their
final picture, each child received
Teddy Grahams for snack.

These children attended:
Clark and Oliver Hawkinson, Charlie, Kate, and Lauren
Peterson,
Hazel
Jacobson, Sophia and
Alexander Norberg, Aubrey
and Clifton Jude, Elijah
Dorse, Tessa Dahl, Ben and
Ellie Ogram, Kalli and
Kenna Hennen, Emma
McAlpine, Ella Lidberg,
Rachel and Howie Rasset,
Izaak Fieldseth, Larson, Isabelle and Gunnar Melgaard.
Mavencamp would like to
take this opportunity to say
THANK YOU to all those
who made this summer library

program possible: Maple Lake
Library for their willingness to
sponsor storytime, now finishing
its 6th year; the Maple Lake Legion Club for their generous financial donation for summer
childrens programs; the Recovery Center for letting us use the
McHugh Building, the extra
space was wonderful; all the
adults who brought so many
children each week and helped
with projects when needed; and
the children who came with such
enthusiasm and participated so
well in all we did. It was a great
summer!

Irish spirit wear
available for purchase
The high school parent
group, Irish P.A.T.H.S., is selling
spirit wear. Spirit wear is made
to show off your Maple Lake
Irish pride and does not represent any specific sport. Irish
P.A.T.H.S. is offering spirit wear
not only to the elementary and
high school families but also the
entire community.
Spirit wear will have a wide
variety of items ranging in sizes

from a youth small to an adult
4XL. Samples and size examples will be available on September 1 and 2 from 3-7 p.m.
Whether you are in need of
some great sweat pants, wind
pants, hoodie sweatshirts, tshirts, long sleeve shirts, shorts,
winter hats, lanyards, fighting
Irish car decals, etc. Come check
it out. Order forms will be available in the high school and elementary offices.
The Maple Lake Schoolseum

designers have been selected for
this years Showcasing Success contest. The contest is
sponsored by Maple Lake Senior Connections and was formulated to attract people towards
creating their own displays. The
Schoolseum is located in the
public chool hallways between
the high school and elementary.
This years winners are of The
Gear-Head Get Together display installed by Mary James,
and elementary winner is the

Early Childhood Education
case designed by Christine
Schultz. All six showcases that
entered are attractive and well
thought out, while these two
cases excelled in all of the three
areas of judging: creativity, promotional content, and if pertaining to the organization youth
involvement. We appreciate the
time and effort the other organizations put in towards their
work-of-art and invite anyone
interested in promoting their
group, individual, or event in a
showcase to install one of their

own. Also displayed last week
were the fabulous photos submitted for the 2015-2016 Community Guide contest, and the
high school graduation class
composite of 1967. We invite
everyone to come in to see these
displays and through them view
many of the high points of
Maple Lake. Please contact
Schoolseum director, Ginger
OLoughlin, at gingero@charter.net or (763) 301-4717 if you
are interested in becoming involved.

Post Prom party,

pork chop fundraiser
The Maple Lake post prom
committee is having a pork chop
fundraiser on Saturday, September 5, at the Annandale Swappers Meet, located at 13594
100th St. NW, South Haven,
MN 55382. Come as early as 7
a.m. and enjoy a huge, yummy
pork chop to support and raise
funds for Maple Lakes post
prom party.
St. Tims Preschool

Music will also be added to
the curriculum to help round out
the classroom. A piano sits in
the middle of the room, near a
side of the classroom that has
headphones and a music player,
designed as a listening area for
the children. Hennen said that
during breaks or whenever necessary, she will sit at the piano
and play for the children. Music
time will also include lessons
and sing-a-longs with the students.
With all these outlets for opportunity and learning, the students
will
have
many
anxiety-free ways to adjust to
the classroom. The class will be
a social one, and will help adapt
students to being with others
and learning new ways of prob-
lem solving and education, and

for some, their first real in-class
education in a social setting.
Hennen and Kincs are very
optimistic that the new preschool will be a great addition to
the school. They will also encourage a very open relationship
with the parents, some of which
theyve already had a chance to
speak with during their June
open house.
In their opinion, having a
good relationship with the family lets the parents know that
their children are in good hands
and that the educators will get to
know them personally which
will help alleviate any worries
or concerns a parent may have.
Hennen and Kincs even mentioned that they will work
around families schedules to

the best of their abilities, reducing stress of time frames.
There will be an open house
September 2 between 5 p.m. and
7 p.m. to meet any newcomers
or already registered students
and parents.
Hennen and Kincs mentioned that they had room for
new or prospective families and
highly recommend that interested families stop in and take a
look at what they have to offer.
For more information, please
contact Principal Kincs or St.
Timothy's School at (320) 9633417 or email dkincs@churchofsttimothy.org.

School Funding Based on

Free/Reduced Lunch Count
Part of the education funding provided to school districts is calculated using the number of students who qualify for free and reducedprice school meals. This is based on the school district receiving
completed Application for Educational Benefits forms from families
who qualify for free and reduced-price meals. The school district can
only access these dollars if families who may qualify for the free/reduced lunch program apply. Please take time to complete the application form even if your children do not intend to eat school lunches.
The Application for Educational Benefits form was mailed to the families of all students in August. If you did not receive one or are new
to the district, please request an application by calling 963-3171 or
print a copy from our web site (www.maplelake.k12.mn.us). All completed application forms are confidential and should be returned to
the food service director as early as possible. Remember, students who
qualified for free or reduced-price lunches last year, are required to
re-apply each school year. This information is only accessible to the
food service director and the district office staff.
Parking Lot Traffic

Automobile drivers in the school districts south parking lot are
asked to help with the traffic flow by being aware of the traffic patterns. The elementary student drop-off area is separate from the
school bus drop-off and loading area. Signs are posted in the parking
lot to help direct traffic. The loop in front of the elementary school
is a student drop-off/and pick-up area. Visitor parking and handicapped accessible parking are available in the loop south of the elementary school entrance. Automobiles exiting the parking lot to
Highway 55 may only turn right from 7:45-8:15 a.m. and 2:45-3:15

Buses will drop students off in front of the high school in the
morning and park diagonally for loading students after school. For
the safety of the students, no automobile traffic will be permitted in
this area from 7:45-8:15 a.m. and 2:45-3:15 p.m. or any time buses
are present.
A student drop-off zone is also available on the west side of the
high school. Automobiles using this area to drop off high school students may enter from Congress Street or from the south parking lot,

George Street. Visitor and handicapped accessible parking are available between doors D and E on the west side of the high school.
Visitors are required to enter the school through doors A, D or E

during school hours. Interior doors at each of these entrances will
be locked, requiring visitors to be buzzed into an office to sign in

Attest,
Zaske to Aquatennial
RD8: (LeGarrette Blount,

RB New England) TDs, TDs,
and more TDs. Blount wouldnt
be worth starting until Week 6,
assuming thats when Tom
Brady returns from his suspension. But, on a Tom Brady-led
offense, it would be worth taking a flier on Blount, simply for
his TD potential. You may recall, in a game that became
much more famous for another
reason, Blount rushed for 148
yards and 3 TDs in the Patriots
45-7 playoff win against the
Colts.
RD9: (Nelson Agholor, WR
Philadelphia) If you read my
15 Bold Predictions for the 15
Season piece, you know Im
high on the rookie from USC.
In a Chip Kelly offense and
with Jeremy Maclin now in

Kansas City, Agholor, who has
big play ability, should see his
fair share of targets, as the No.
2 WR behind Jordan Matthews.
RD10: (Davante Adams,
WR Green Bay) The pick
here was a TE until the news on
Jordy Nelson. If Nelson is indeed out for the year with a torn
ACL, Adams will undoubtedly
fly up draft boards. But for now,
hes No. 120 and a no-brainer,
as the potential new No. 2 in
Green Bay. He showed flashes
last season and with Aaron
Rodgers tossing him the ball,
you cant go wrong.
RD11: (Teddy Bridgewater,
QB Minnesota) Because, it
doesnt hurt to have a back-up,
even if your starter is Andrew
Luck. And, who doesnt love

Teddy?
RD12: (Brian Quick, WR St.
Louis) Entering the season as
the Rams top WR, Quick
started hot in 2014 before being
derailed by injuries. In his first
four games, he caught 21 balls
for 322 yards and 3 TDs, good
for 17.3 fantasy points per
game.
RD13: (New England Patriots Defense/Special Teams) I
wanted to hold out and grab the
Vikings defense in the last
round, but every time an intriguing TE was on the board, a
more intriguing RB or WR was
there as well. Besides, the Patriots do get four games this year
against the New York Jets and
Buffalo Bills, offenses led by
anemic QBs.
RD14: (Dan Bailey, K Dallas) Best kicker available, he
plays in a kicker-friendly stadium and will get plenty of
chances, in Dallas high-powered offense.
RD15: (Ladarius Green, TE
San Diego) If I miss out on
Gronk, I was to be the last in
my league to take a TE, as it
gets to the point where theyre
basically all the same. Last
year, I was a year early on
Green, drafting him in the last
round, but this year, with the
suspension to Antonio Gates,
Green will have four weeks to
make an impression. Once
Gates returns, though, it looks
like it could be waiver wire
time.
At this years Wright County

Fair, the ambassadors shared
their final time as ambassadors
as Maria, Amy and Chelsea each
passed on their crowns to the
2015-2016 Fairest of the Fair
Ambassadors. My favorite
memory from my year as a
Fairest of the Fair Ambassador
would be letting little girls from
different communities try on my
crown and being able to show
them that they are the true
princesses, said Zaske.
Although she passed on her
crown earlier this month, Zaskes
journey with the Fairest of the
Fair is far from over. For the first
time in Maple Lakes history, the
town will have two representatives at the Minneapolis
Aquatennial: Zaske, who gradu-
ated from Maple Lake High

School in 2014 and will be representing the Wright County
Fair, and one of the current
Maple Lake Ambassadors. I am
so excited and I feel extremely
honored to represent the Wright
County Fair at the Minneapolis
Aquatennial in 2016. I have
heard so many great things about
being a candidate and the program itself so I am thrilled to experience it myself, said Zaske
on being selected to attend
Aquatennial in 2016.
It goes without saying that the
community of Maple Lake,
along with Wright County as a
whole, wishes Zaske the best in
her adventure at Aquatennial
2016 and the rest of her lifes endeavors.
