DNR urges
caution when
burning
vegetative
debris this fall
The Department of Natural
Resources reminds Minnesotans
to be careful this fall when burning vegetative debris.
In Minnesota, 98 percent of
all wildfires are caused by people, and the largest contributor is
burning debris like leaves, grass
and brush, said Linda Gormanson, DNR wildfire prevention
supervisor.
Burning permits are required
to burn vegetative debris when
there is less than 3 inches of
snow on the ground. Citizens
should know the burning restrictions for their county, and check
the weather forecast, before
lighting a fire. Permits may be
restricted when weather conditions allow wildfires to easily
spread.
Current information on
statewide fire danger and burning restrictions is available on
the
DNR
website
at
www.mndnr.gov/forestry/fire.
Burning permits are available
online, from local fire wardens
or at DNR forestry offices.
Gormanson
recommends
finding alternatives to burning
vegetative debris such as
mulching or composting.
If it is not possible to mulch
or compost, people should put
debris fires out by drowning the
remains with plenty of water,
stirring and repeating until cold.
All fires should be supervised
until they are out cold.
On Tuesday, November 3,
residents of the Maple Lake
School District will be asked to
approve additional funding for
their public schools through two
ballot questions. The first will be
for an operating levy, regarding
authorization of local funding
for the districts general operating expenses. The district is requesting an increase of $529.60
per pupil unit for 10 years. The
second question will be for a
capital projects levy, which
would provide funding for upkeep and purchasing of technology. Over the coming decade,
the operating levy would generate about $500,000 per year, and
the capital projects levy would
generate an annual $100,000.
It is a move board members
have been weighing over the
past spring and summer, as reserve funds have steadily declined and more than $400,000
in overspending is anticipated in
the coming school year.
As voters consider their response to these two questions,
Superintendent Mark Redemske
explains in detail the reasoning
behind the proposals, as well as
the consequences of voter response whether it ultimately
lands in favor of the proposals,
or against them.
The first point Redemske
wanted to make is that a $529.60
Maple Lake schools superintendent, Mark Redemske,

encourages voters to contact him at the district office with any questions
they may have concerning
the Nov. 3 referendum.

per-pupil-unit raise does not directly correlate to the amount

each property owners taxes
would increase. That amount, he
said, is determined solely by
property value. Voters are encouraged to visit the districts
web
site
(www.maplelake.k12.mn.us)
and view a feature that enables
property owners to calculate personal tax impact for any single
address in the school district.
Found on the sites homepage,
midway down the left-hand column, the feature is titled November 3rd Referendum, and
At its most recent meeting,

Tuesday, October 13, the Maple
Lake School Board voted 4-2 to
approve a new contract with the
Maple Lake Federation of
Teachers for the 2015-16 and
2016-2017 school years.
Approved by the teachers on
September 22, the tentative
agreement called for a one percent increase for steps one
through 19 on salary schedules
A and B; a 1.25 percent increase
on step 20 for salary schedules A
and B; a one percent increase
each year for extracurricular
salary schedules; the addition of
a ninth coaching step in 2015-16
and a tenth step in 2016-17 (each
new step reflecting a 2.3 percent
increase); an increase on the career increments from $4,000 to
$4,250 in 2015-16 and then to
$4,750 in 2016-17; an increase
in the district contribution toward single health insurance
from $6,000 to $6,385 in 201516 and $6,577 in 2016-17; an increase in the district contribution
toward family health insurance

from $12,540 to $12,979 in
2015-16 and $13,368 in 201617; and an increase in the hourly
rate for subbing during prep
hours from $20 to $25.
A salary schedule for the
2015-2016 school year ranges
from $34,912 for a first-year
Bachelors degree hiree to
$68,853 for a 20-year veteran
holding a Masters degree. In
2017, those figures will increase
to $35,261 and $69,716, respectively.
A similar schedule for extracurricular salary and compensation in 2015-2016 has salaries
for head coaches of football,
basketball,
gymnastics,
wrestling and volleyball ranging
from $3,967 to $4,788. Coaches
salaries in softball, baseball,
track and golf range from $3,571
to $4,310. Marching band,
speech and three-act play directors make up for the higher
range of extracurricular compensation, covering a range from
$2,077 to $4,788.
Board member Joe Maven-
Referendum
continued on page 9
camp noted that the districts

budget for the upcoming school
year is currently projected to
overspend and that increases in
the new contract would only
compound the problem.
My only issue is, earlier this
spring we were cutting teachers
because we didnt have enough
students, he said. We were
cutting teachers because we
couldnt afford them. And now
we can afford those raises? Im
not following that.
Were doing the best we can
with what we have, Redemske
said. We cannot afford a
teachers strike, either. But
were far from that.
Board Chair Arnie Michalicek echoed that sentiment, saying, I think from the
negotiating part of it, we got the
best deal we could get without
going into discussion of strike.
Nobodys happy with it. I dont
think we could have got anything better.

Business Brief: A Touch of Nostalgia

Correspondent
A new massage therapy location has opened up in town and

owner Janice Mader is ready to
assist those in need. A Touch of
Nostalgia is located at 123 Division Street in Maple Lake,
across from The Costume
Shoppe and Maple Lake Fire
Department. It is open by appointment seven days a week.
Mader lives just a few blocks

wording of the ballot questions
and further information on the
proposed levies. Information has
been distributed in mailings
throughout the district, and presentations for the public will be
Tuesday, October 27 and
Wednesday, October 28 at 7
p.m. in the Maple Lake High
School auditorium.
Financial challenges
One of the primary challenges that Maple Lake schools
face, Redemske explained, is
that the state legislature has not
kept up with the schools needs.
The government has not
kept up with inflation, he said.
If it had based its formula at the
rate of inflation over the last 24
years, we would now have over
$1,300 more per pupil unit than
we do.
Another issue is that the annual cost to a local taxpayer for
school levy dollars varies greatly
across Minnesota. School districts with high levels of property wealth such as Eden
Prairie, Hopkins and St. Louis
Park have a distinct advantage
in passing school levies, as
larger property tax bases that include significant commercial
and industrial property automatically lower the tax burden for
local home and business owners.

Local equestrienne, Lynda

Zimmerman, and her 13 year
old Paso Fino gelding, HDR
Petrolero de Nevado, earned top
honors from the Paso Fino
Horse Association (PFHA) in
this years High Point Endurance Trail category by completing 305 competition miles in
12 events. Her 18 year old Paso
Fino mare, Lluvia del Norte
(Zia) won 2nd place by completing 295 miles in 11 events.
The national breed association
tracks how well its members
Paso Finos are performing in the
sport of endurance riding over
the competition year, which
runs September 1st to August
31st. Zimmerman received her
award on September 29th at the
Paso Fino Grand Nationals
Championship Show held at the
Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky.
Zimmerman competes in
events set by the American Endurance Ride Conference
(AERC), a national organization
which sanctions over 600 competitions a year. The sport is
open to all equine breeds, and
all four footed entrants must
pass fitness criteria before, during and after each race. The
welfare of the equine athlete is
the primary concern of the officiating veterinarians, and they
determine if a horse can start or
continue in a ride. In order to
earn a qualified completion, the
veterinarians confirm the horse
is fit to continue within a half
hour of completing the race. The
physical fitness of the horse is a
critical factor to success. Like
human marathon runners, endurance horses have to be in excellent condition to compete.
Zimmerman spends many hours
in the saddle keeping her horses
fit. She also manages their nutrition needs and monitors their
health to maximize their performance and maintain their
well-being.
Zimmerman typically completes two rides at a weekend

event and often finishes in the
top ten. Her small statured Paso
Finos are best known for their
very smooth ride and are not a
common choice for endurance
riding, but she and her horses
hold their own against the other
entrants. Her class, called Limited Distance Endurance, usually entails a race of 25, 30 or 35
miles in length; Zimmerman
and her horse typically complete
the course in 3-6 hours, plus the
mandatory mid-point rest period
and vet check. Points are
awarded for qualified completions, placings and vet scores.
AERCs motto is, To Finish is
to Win, and Zimmerman takes
this to heart. She prepares thoroughly and adjusts for each
rides unique factors (terrain and
weather) to earn qualified completions. She and each of her
horses are a team that relies on
each other for success.
Zimmermans High Point
Endurance Trail awards measure her performance against
other Paso Fino horses across
the country, and she is proud of
this years honors, as well as her
horses other successes. She
and Zia have competed for six
years, successfully completing
over 1,000 AERC miles.
Nevado has been involved for
three years, and they have over
500 AERC miles together. Both
horses have the same sire (male
parent), and Zia won a similar
PHFA award four years ago.
Zimmerman got involved in the
sport in order to spend more
time with her horses and plans
to continue endurance riding for
many more years. She says of
her horses, More than champions and awesome team partners,
they are superb individuals with
expressive personalities. I
waited a long time to have
horses back in my life and love
spending so much time with
them whether on trail, camping
or just at the barn.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Tuesday Vanna and I headed toward Litchfield on a pheasant
scouting mission. We didnt come across any birds until we crossed
over into Renville County. We spotted two pheasants on the edge
of a standing cornfield and chose a Wildlife Management Area
(WMA). We flushed a hen, and later, shot at one rooster which
flushed ahead of Vanna. I missed and to add insult to injury the rooster flew into a tree. We started walking toward the tree line with an
attempt to get into range, but hadnt taken ten steps when the wily
cock flew out of the tree into the swamp. Later in the day we flushed
7-8 hens out of a WMA during the golden hour, but no roosters.
. . On Wednesday we teamed up with Daryl Hennen and Coco
for an afternoon hunt west of Madison. We didnt find very many
birds which leads us to believe there just arent very many. Toward
evening Hennen and Coco put up a pheasant which flew behind me.
I couldnt see any color and didnt shoot, but he said it was a rooster.
Later Daryl had a chance for a double and connected on the first
bird. Again we saw far more hens than roosters which bodes well
for next year, but didnt help us now. Vanna had a dandy point at
the end of a weedy strip at days end when Daryl and I were walking
towards each other. The pheasant was determined to stay hidden and
I figured rooster, but that wasnt the case when the hen finally took
flight. On Friday afternoon 7th grader Evan Hennen and his black
and white 2-year old Springer, Bella, went with me on another
pheasant quest. We ended up down in Renville County and both
dogs put up some hens, but only one rooster which neither of us got
a shot at. Evan saw a 4-point buck and he was amazed at the number
of rubs he came across in a patch of willows. Evan and Bella are
shown with a Canvasback he shot out in North Dakota several
weeks ago. He was hunting with his dad, Brad, and Grandpa Daryl;
and relatives Eric and Noah Froehling who live in Wishek, ND.
Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: I cannot find it in
any of the laws but I am sure it
has to be there. Isn't it required
by law for a tow truck operator
who is operating on public roads
to wear reflective safety apparel
at all times? Only asking this because I am curious because I
think its a Federal OSHA law
yet you see so many drivers
wearing nothing but a black shirt
or hard to see apparel.
Answer: Yes, tow truck drivers who are working and exposed to moving motor vehicle
traffic are required to wear high
visibility garments. The high
vis garment may be a Class 2 or
a Class 3 garment. (Class 2 is a
high vis vest and Class 3 is a
high vis jacket). More informa-
tion on this law can be found

under Minnesota Administrative
Rule 5205.0030.
This rule is enforced by Minnesota Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA.)
There are also requirements from
Federal OSHA and the Federal
Highway Administration that require the mandatory use of high
visibility garments when employees are working on a street,
road, highway, etc. where the
workers are exposed to moving
motor vehicle traffic.
When there is a crash scene,
everyone who is working; police,
fire, EMS, tow truck operators,
MnDOT, etc. should all be wearing a high vis garment in order to
be in compliance. The high vis

good duck and
goose hunt and
were checked
by a Federal
Game Warden.
Daryl said it
was a good experience as the
w a r d e n
checked their
licenses and
shotguns for
plugs
and
seemed to make a special effort to be helpful. . . Mike Muller got
back from Canada last week where they were hunting geese, ducks
and ruffed grouse with the Rawluks and Jim Baker. He said he and
his son Ken bagged 30 geese (Thats a lot of goose sausage!), 38
ducks, 13 ruffed grouse and one sharptail grouse. . . . He felt
the ruffed grouse are in an up-cycle. . . I joined Daryl Hennen
Sunday for a half-day trip northwest of Morris where we came
across some pheasants, both hens and roosters, in a WMA. Hennen
backed me up and shot the two pheasants hes holding and I missed
one other one. It was an extremely windy day, something over 20 mph, but the
birds held well. Bella made
the day for us when she
found one of Daryls birds in
the dense cattails. Ironically
the area we hunted was in the
poor area on the DNR map.
.
.
The Marshall area
was good for some local
pheasant hunters and the
grapevine says the grouse
numbers are up in northeast
Minnesota. . . More on
that next week!
garments are also required when

directing traffic.
The rule also talks about the
maintenance and condition of the
garment. If the high visibility
personal protective equipment
becomes faded, torn, dirty, worn,
or defaced, reducing the equipment's performance below manufacturer's recommendations, the
high visibility personal protective equipment shall be immediately removed from service and
replaced.

Move Over Law was named in
honor of the State Patrol trooper
who was killed while on the
shoulder of I-90 in Winona in
2000. The law states:
When traveling on a road
with two or more lanes, drivers
must keep over one full lane
away from stopped emergency
vehicles with flashing lights activated ambulance, fire, law
enforcement, maintenance, construction vehicles and tow

trucks.
Reduce speed if unable to
safely move over a lane.
Failing to take these actions
endangers personnel who provide critical and life-saving services. Fines can exceed $100.
Moving over not only helps
protect the lives of emergency
workers, but also helps protect
your life. Hitting a vehicle on the
side of the road can result in injury or death for you or those in
your vehicle.

The Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
Exercise is mandatory for retirees. At least it is for those who
want to keep on living. Our exercise class found out recently
that our instructor retired. So far,
he hasn't joined our class, but we
do have a new one. She is much
more attractive than he ever
hoped to be, and she is also quite
active. Sometimes that is not a
good attribute for working with
seniors.
Our new instructor offered to
tailor our class to our needs.
Often our needs are not consistent with our wants. No matter
how often she tells us to stop if
we are getting tired, most of us
try to complete whatever exercise we have started. We learned
three-score years ago from Mom
and Dad to finish what we start.
Later we wish we had stopped.
Right now I have a sore arm that
may have been aggravated by
stretching muscles that have
been dormant for a few decades.
It may have been strained by trying to take seats off the pontoon
boat, but after all, one reason we
exercise is so we can take seats
off the pontoon boat.
Seniors are not particularly
coordinated. We have forgotten
how to chew gum and walk at
the same time. Simply moving
some appendage on the right side
when moving another appendage
on the left side takes a good deal
of thought, and considerable
time. Switching from one move
to another can't be done instantly.
If we want to switch holding a
coffee cup to the other hand at

home, we usually take half a day
to try it out. Not in exercise class.
Our instructor thinks after four
repetitions we will be able to
switch feet or arms or hips right
away. Most of us just stand there
like dummies until she comes up
with a move we can do, such as
getting a drink of water.
Fortunately, we don't get
graded on our exercise. Most of
us would fail miserably. After
class if we get together and talk,
we hear that nobody finds it easy
to change to another routine. In
my case, I've been doing the
same routine for six years.
Change may be good, but seniors
aren't good at changing, unless
they are changing surgical dressings or Depends.
Several others have been in
class even longer than I have. We
all have trouble changing to a
new routine. I know I'm not
alone. One way to make the
change easier would be to spike
our water with vodka or maybe
spiced rum. We may have to negotiate the stairs after class,
though, and most of us are on
medications that could react with
alcohol.
Oh, well, the doctors say we
need to exercise, and my insurance plan knows it's cheaper to
pay for a class than to pay for a
heart attack, so I will tough it out.
I remember the Army Daily
Dozen that I got through in basic
training, and our class is easier
than that.

Oct. 13, 6:09 p.m. to Ney
Park, Maple Lake Twp. for a lost
person. Individual found way out
prior to the fire-fighters arrival.
A week after the Wright

County Board of Commissioners
voted to submit a 180-day notice
that it would be leaving the TriCounty Forensics Laboratory a
cooperative effort between
Wright, Anoka and Sherburne
counties the only mention of
the decision at the Oct. 13 meeting of the county board was to
seek clarification on a letter sent
to the other two counties.
In the letter, it was made to
sound as if Wright County will
be leaving the Tri-County lab
next April, but the decision made
the previous week was an effort
to get the other two counties
back to the table to discuss
changing the funding formula,
which is based on population
and, by all accounts, is unfair to
Wright County.
Sheriff Joe Hagerty, who was
unable to attend the Oct. 6 meeting because he was in Tennessee
welcoming his son home from a
decision from his office. He was

surprised by the decision and
equally surprised at the nature of
the letter that was sent to the
other two county boards.
It was a very terse letter,
Hagerty said. If I was a recipient of that letter, I would take is
that were out as of April 16.
Hagerty agrees that the funding formula in its current state,
overcharges Wright County for
the amount of use it gets from
the lab for $367,000 a year, but
added that he wasnt the sheriff
at the time the agreement was
negotiated and that, while the
agreement is still in place, many
of the key participants have
changed since it was signed.
I wasnt part of that
process, Hagerty said. That
was done eight years ago with
three different sheriffs and three
different county boards. Some of
the county boards are largely the
same from the ones that initially
commissioner from Wright

County was part of that process
Pat Sawatzke.
The role the lab has placed,
especially since getting DNA
certification, has brought the
technological advancements of
crime fighting to a different
level. He admits that the Bureau
of Criminal Apprehension,
which provides a similar service
for free to 84 of the 87 Minnesota counties, does a good job,
but the volume of evidence it
sees creates backlogs that arent
part of the Tri-County lab.
He and his department have
come to depend on the lab to
process evidence quicker and
identify participants in crime
that help get them off the streets
faster and lead to more arrests
and convictions.
The lab to me is as integral
to our operation as our mobile
data terminals in our squad
cars, Hagerty said. Its one of
them. Its so important. We solve

crimes, quite frankly, that we
wouldnt be able to solve otherwise. Is it expensive? Yes. But,
it has been so vital for us to
maintain public safety. I really
need to be in this lab and Ill
fight for it, whatever I have to
do.
Hagerty said he hopes that
the county board will rescind its
action of Oct. 6 and remain in
the Tri-County lab for the two
years remaining on the current
contract. He has been rumored to
be considering legal action
against the board if it makes
good on its threat to leave the
Tri-County lab, but said he
hopes cooler heads will prevail
and the county remains in the
cooperative forensics lab because of its value in fighting
crime.

Notes from the Archival Corner, Maple Lake Library

by Sue Sylvester
Maple Lake Library
The month of October is designated as Family History

Month. Maple Lake Library provides wonderful resources to
help you with your research.
First, we have an archival computer which now contains over
2,700 local obituaries, 830 local
marriage announcements, newspaper articles which provide
business histories, family histories, school news, sports stories
and over 3, 000 photos scanned
of Maple Lake and its local people. Second, you have access to
the Maple lake Yearbooks which
have been scanned up to 1989
and newer yearbooks are located

on our reference shelf. The librarys reference shelf has a
number of books that could also
have information to help you research your family history. Finally, the library has made
ancestry.com available for you
through March 2016. With this
resource you can research
records anywhere in the United
States as well as other countries.
All you need to get started is your
Maple Lake Library card, a
name, possible birthdate, and location where the person was
born. Digging into family history can become an interesting
project and very rewarding. The
library archives has made your

research just a little easier.
Speaking of research, this
year has been a very busy one for
Maple Lake Archives. The beginning of this year was spent
putting together a comprehensive
research of business histories in
Maple Lake which culminated in
a town tour for Maple Lakes
125th Celebration in June. The
tour was well received and since
then I have heard from people
who missed the town tour and
wanted to view it. There is now
a CD at the library containing the
town tour. It allows you to sit at
a computer and go at your own
pace to discover the business his-
tories of Maple Lake which were

documented for the past 125
years. The information is interesting and brings back a lot of
memories for those who have
grown up in Maple Lake. Also,
this CD of the town tour is available for purchase. It would make
a nice gift and can be viewed on
your own computer. All proceeds go for materials and further
research needs in our archival
corner.
Whether it is researching family history or you would like to
know more about your town history, come in and visit us at the
Maple Lake Library. It is a nice
way to spend a cold winter day.

ness. A public study is going to

be conducted in Wright County
Nov. 2-16, the first of its kind in
the country. For more information on the program, people are
encouraged to check out their
website at www.bouncebackproject.org.
* Announced that the Wright
County Human Services Department won a prestigious
statewide award from the Minnesota Family Support and Recovery
Council
for
its
achievement in child support
collection. Wright County collected 78 percent of child support payments last year, which is
a huge number compared to
other counties and was recognized for that achievement.
*Authorized signatures on an
agreement between the county
and the Minnesota Department
of Public Safety in the amount of
$45,450 for the Towards Zero
Deaths initiative. The focus of
the grant would be to further educate and enforce distracted
driving issues in the county.
Over the past few years, distracted driving has replaced
drunk driving as the leading
cause of car crashes in Wright
County and the grant will help
get the word out as to the dangers of distracted driving and
why it is important to not allow
mobile devices to be a cause of
distraction for drivers of all ages.
* Approved a memorandum
of understanding with three cites
Albertville, Cokato and Waverly and one township
Cokato for the purchase of
road salt and sand for the 201516 winter season.

I wont rule that out,

Hagerty said of potential legal
action. I need the lab. If the
county is going to be successful
in public safety as we currently
are, Ive got to have that lab. As
to how its paid for, thats out of
my control. I rendered an opinion, but the funding formula is
based on usage, that would be
fair. This has been an incredibly
value tool for us because there
isnt as much volume of evidence to be processed that they
have at the BCA. It has come
with a price, but it has been
much more efficient and I was
elected by the people of Wright
County to provide public safety.
This lab does that in an extremely efficient way and I believe that we need it because it is
arguably the most effective
crime fighting tool we have at
our disposal.
In other items on the Oct. 13
agenda, the board:
* Heard a presentation from
former Commissioner Karla
Heeter about the Bounce Back
Project, an initiative started by
hospitals in the Buffalo and
Monticello areas. The program
ties in positivity with a longer,
healthier life and focuses on four
forms of resilience physical,
mental, social and emotional. A
community presentation of the
Bounce Back program will be
held Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 5:30
p.m. at the Monticello Middle
School Auditorium and 7 p.m. at
the Buffalo High School Performing Arts Center. The object
of the program is to equate happiness to health with the focal
point being random acts of kind-

Connecting Links
program seeks
mentors for kids
Would you be interested in making a difference in a students life?
Or, do you know of students who
would benefit from having mentors
in their life? Connecting Links is a
program which provides a mentoring opportunity between an adult
volunteer and identified student in
need.
The relationship is intended to
nurture the academic, social and/or
emotional aspects of these students,
resulting in a positive environment
in both the home and school in
which they live and learn.
Mentors are encouraged to meet
weekly with their student. These
meetings can be at school or something planned outside of school with
parent permission. Activities can
range from playing games, making
projects, and working on assignments, to going somewhere fun or
learning something new.
There is training for anyone interested in becoming involved in the
program on Thursday, Oct. 22 in the
elementary media center. Training
will be from 6 to 6:30 p.m. and the
current mentor meeting will be from
6:30 to 7 p.m.
If you want to learn more about
becoming a mentor or know of a
student who would benefit, please

Catherin Luckemeyer asked

her 4th grade students to write
about their all time favorite Halloween costumes.
Dylan Hennen: My favorite
Halloween costume was a wizard. I wore the wizard costume
when I was eight years old. My
mom made the costume. It has a
fireball and a hood. It is comfy
and took a lot of fabric. It was
cool. I got to pick out the fabric
and the colors of the costume are
light brown, light blue, dark
blue, and dark brown, with neon
on it. I could not play with the
fireball because it would break.
I had to wait until Halloween to
use it.
Ethan OBrien: My favorite
Halloween costume was when I
was eight years old. I liked it so
much because my Grandma
made it. I like it even more because it was cold when I went
Trick or Treating and the fur was
cozy. The mask was incredible,
it looked so real. The one and
only thing I didnt like about it
was that it was itchy. I liked how
my shirt was full of fur and how
the claws looked so real. I only
wore it on Halloween.
Joanna Hall: I wore my favorite Halloween costume when
I was eight. It was a witch costume. I loved it because it was
really a crazy outfit. I had a
broom too. The costume had orange and black dots and stripes.
I had so much fun Trick or Treating because it was very warm. I
had more than nine million
pieces of candy by the time I
was done Trick or Treating. I
cant wait until this Halloween
when Ill get even more candy.
And its almost here!
Joey Spike: My favorite Halloween costume was a lion when
I was two. My Mom made my
costume because she loves to
make costumes for me and my
brother. I like this Halloween
costume because it had a lot of
fur around the face and on the
tail. I also wore it to bed sometimes too because I liked it so
much. When I turned four I got
too big for my costume, but I got
a new one.
Ryan Cranston: My favorite
Halloween costume is a Ninja
because its blue and black. I got
the costume at Walmart. It has a
mask with it and a belt. The costume has a chest plate too. The
belt is also pretty cool. It is red

Annandale 320-274-3986
and blue. The shoes that go with

the costume are cool too. They
are blue and black. I wore the
costume to school on Halloween. The Ninja costume is
my favorite because it looks
good and toy swords come with
it. My Grandma made a Ninja
belt because the one that came
with it broke after my dog
chewed on it. So now the belt
that came with it is my dogs
chew toy.
Ali Schaefer: My favorite
Halloween costume was a bee
because I could sting whoever I
wanted to when I wore it. I stung
my brothers of course. I wish my
stinger was a needle. I would
sting as many people as possible
because it was so fun. Another
reason I like it is because I was
so cute in it. I got to pick it out
at Target. The other reason I
liked it is because the color of
the dress is black and yellow.
Ashton Daluge: My favorite
was Darth-Vador. I was eight
years old and got to pick it out at
Party City. It was very cool and
warm. I went to Jacob and
Noahs. I wore it to school and
on Halloween. It is black and
has a mask and has black pants.
We went around town. The reason I liked this costume was because I liked the movies and
books about the character.
Samuel Hughes: My alltime favorite Halloween costume was a Zombie Football
player when I was nine. I liked
it because it had padded shoulders, knees, and elbows. The
costume also came with a helmet that had cool details on it.
One of the details was that there
was a brain painted on the helmet. I got to pick my costume
out that I got at the store. The
costume was warm on the inside
but the outside was cool. I wore
the costume three times. The
first time I wore it I was in 3rd
grade at a Halloween party. The
second time was for Halloween,
and the third time was for a
birthday party.
Kelsey Jude: My favorite
was a butterfly. It was my 1st
Halloween. I like the costume
because it was warm and really
colorful. Another reason I liked
the costume was because the
body was purple. The wings
were purple, blue, green, pink,

and orange. The antennas were

purple and yellow. That Halloween was really cold out so
we had to make sure the costume was warm. The back of the
costume was yellow also. The
body was as big as me so I could
fit into it.
Ann Halgin: My all time favorite Halloween costume was a
Jedi when I was seven. I liked it
because it had a hood. I pulled
the hood over my face so no one
could see my face. It was very
thin but it was warm out when
we went Trick-or Treating. The
color of the costume was brown
and light peach. I bought it in
North Branch. It didnt come
with a light saber. I got to wear
it to school for the Halloween
party two years ago.
Grace Carlson: My favorite
all time Halloween costume was
a cowgirl when I was six. It represents me and what I like to do.
I tried to dress up all pink, but I
couldnt because I didnt have
pink boots. I wore skinny jeans,
a pink flannel shirt, and my hair
was tied back in a ponytail. I
wore a cowgirl hat. I picked out
that costume. No one else
dressed up like me probably because they dont like horses like
I do. My hat was brown and
pink. My boots had spurs on
them. I got my shirt from Pleasant Hills Saddle Shop. I didnt
go Trick-or-Treating with any of
my friends. I just went with my
brothers, and Mom and Dad.
Kassandra Fynboh: My all
time-favorite Halloween costume was being a witch when I
was eight because there was a
button to press that made my
shirt light up. It was so cool. I
also got to wear a hat. I was a
good witch not a bad one and
got to go Trick-or-Treating with
my cousins. It was so fun. All of
my family comes to my house
on Halloween.
Kaylan Ennis: My favorite
Halloween costume was a bubble bath when I was seven years
old. It was my favorite because
my Mom made it. I got 2nd
place at the Halloween festival
at school. Then my sister was a

hot air balloon and thats when
she took over and got 1st place.
That was my first time ever winning. I got to go Trick-or-Treating in it.
Haley Nelson: My all time
favorite Halloween costume was
a Katy Perry costume because I
love Katy Perry. She is my favorite singer of all time. I was
eight years old. I went Trick-orTreating with my best friend and
her brother. It was awesome. We
went for a long time. They
dropped me off at home when
we were done. I ended up staying up all night playing my kindle. When my Mom woke up
she offered me breakfast but I
was so tired I just fell right to
sleep. I didnt wake up until
lunch and ate lots of beans and
pizza. Then I tried to take a little
power nap.
Abby Lipinski: My all time
favorite Halloween costume was
a bride when I was five years
old. It was the same dress I wore
when I was a flower girl in my
babysitters wedding. The dress
had a ruffly skirt, a pink sash
that went around my waist, and
tank top straps. I carried a bouquet and wore white tights with
pretty dress shoes. One reason I
was a bride was because I have
been dreaming about being a
bride ever since I was four. I was
a little disappointed because my
dress would drag on the floor
and my Mom didnt want my
dress to get dirty. I wore a Halloween outfit to school instead.
We wore our costumes Trick-orTreating though. I want to be a
real bride some day.
Dakota Zielsdorf: My favorite Halloween costume was
when I was a Vampire. I was
eight years old when I picked it
out. It had a little bloody crown
and red leggings. My Mom
bought a black wig with red
stripes. The costume was a black
dress and it had come with a
gold medallion with a red gem
in the middle. The dress had a
big gem by the chest. It was very
fun to wear

School Bus Safety Tips
Keep kids safe!

Drive with caution and
for the flashing lights.
Promptly find a seat, sit down and

buckle the safety belt if there is one
available. Students assigned seats on
the bus should take their seat without
making a fuss.
Wait for the bus in a safe location that

is away from traffic, ideally staying in
a designated school bus stop until the
bus arrives.
Dress for optimal visibility, especially
in inclement weather when it can be
difficult for the school bus driver and
other motorists to see pedestrians.
Keep backpacks and other belongings

out of the center aisle. Store them
under your seat or on your lap.
Always follow the driver's instructions

and avoid situations that will cause
driver distraction.
Wait for the bus to stop completely
before standing up or attempting to
exit.
Exit the bus in an orderly manner, without pushing fellow passengers.
Do not board the bus until it comes to

a complete stop. Wait for the driver to
open the door, which engages the
"Stop" sign for oncoming motorists.
Remain seated at all times while the bus

is in motion.
Only cross the street in front of the bus.

It is very difficult for the driver to see
students crossing behind the bus.
Use the handrail and enter the bus in an

orderly manner.
Keep arms, hands, legs, and heads

inside of the bus at all times.
Wait for the driver to check traffic

before crossing the street and be on the
lookout for inattentive motorists.

Irish move on in football

section tournament
by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake Irish moved

on to round two of the Section 42A football tournament after defeating
No.
6
seed
Norwood-Young America 31-6,
Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 14,
31-6 on the Irishs home field.
The No. 3 seeded Irish were
scheduled to face the No. 2
seeded Spectrum at Spectrum on
Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 3 p.m.
Last week Spectrum defeated
the No. 7 seeded Minneapolis
Edison 35-6.
I am very proud on the way
we played tonight, Maple Lake
coach Tim Knudsen said after
Wednesdays win.
The offensive line dominated
the line of scrimmage and we
rushed for 346 yards tonight. Defensively we got a pick six and
we tackled very well.
Damian Kaley rushed for 142
yards on 14 carries and scored
three touchdowns for Maple
Lake. He also made two catches.
Irish running back Austin
Becker rushed for 82 yards on
seven carries and scored one
touchdown.
Kaley put the first six points
on the score board with a 10-yard
run in the first quarter.
He and Becker lengthened the
Irish lead to 19-0 in the second
quarter. Kaley scored on a 41-
yard run, followed by a Becker

touchdown on a 10-yard run.
Manuel Lanwers kick was good
for the extra point. Then Kaley
scored again on a two-yard run.
Riley Scadden returned an interception 40-yards for the Irishs
final touchdown of the game.
Norwood-Young Americas
Connor Holliday put up the
Raiderss lone touchdown in the
fourth quarter when he connected
with a 20-yard catch from quarterback Reilly ONeil. The
Raiders attempt at extra points
failed leaving them with a 31-6
deficit.
Also playing Tuesday night
will be No. 1 seed St. Agnes and
No. 5 seed Howard Lake-Waverly Winsted. The winner of that
game will meet the winner of the
Maple Lake/Spectrum game for
the section championship at St.
Johns University on Saturday,
Oct. 24, at 12 p.m. The winner
will advance to state. The state
tournament begins on Thursday,

Oct. 29 and runs through Saturday, Nov. 14.

Irish volleyball defeat Pierz 3-0

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake volleyball

team added another victory to
their record last week with a 30 win over Central Minnesota
Conference rival Pierz at home.
The Irish crushed the Pioneers on Tuesday, Oct. 3, at
Maple Lake with game scores

of 10-25, 22-25 and 23-25 to
improve their record to 21-6
overall and 5-1 in the CMC.
This week, on Thursday,
Oct. 22, the Irish play their last
regular season game at Howard
Lake Waverly-Winsted. The
Section 6-2A Tournament be-
gins on Thursday, Oct. 29.

It could be easy to coast
into the playoffs, coach Marty
Kiebel said after an earlier season game, but if we truly want
to reach our goals every player
must commit to making themselves and each other better at
practice.

Referendum
In projections of revenue
by district, out of 333 in the
state, Maple Lake is ranked
265th, which is well below the
state average, he said. And
that makes it difficult for us.
Another factoring trend has
been a dramatic decline in enrollment over the past several
years. A 2005 demographic
study projecting increased enrollment has proven to be accurate through the years leading
up to the housing market crash.
After that point, however, projections and actual numbers
have diverged. An unassigned
balance in the General Fund, diminishing steadily over recent
years, is at risk of dropping
below acceptable levels. And
next years budget, while it includes the 2006 operating levy
due to expire next year, is projected to fall $400,000 short of
actual spending demands.
Redemske said, To work
through these financial challenges, the district has been

spending down its General
Fund balance and making
budget cuts over the past five
years. In spite of those efforts,
a district policy of keeping one
and a half months worth of expenses on hand has become a
standard that is increasingly difficult to meet. One problem a
lot of people dont understand,
is that while most peoples paychecks come in evenly metered
amounts, thats not the case
with the school district. For
payroll and other obligations,
we need to have cash flow, or
we have to go into a short-term
borrowing situation. Its something we havent done in quite
a few years, and frankly, Id
rather use those interest dollars
for the needs of the schools and
the kids. If the operating levy is
approved, two things will happen: the district will be enabled
The Catch
to balance its budget, and some

previously-cut positions will be
reinstated.
And if it is not approved?
Sooner or later, Redemske
said, our fund balance will be
spent, or we will have to make
more cuts. Weve been cutting
for five years now, and thats
not in the best interest of the
schools, its not in the best interest of the community, and its
certainly not in the best interest
of the kids.
Technology needs
Addressing the ballots second question, Redemske said,
Things have really changed
since I started teaching. On January 17, 1983, there was probably not a computer in the
building. Today, in Maple Lake,
we have 429 PC workstations,
68 projectors, 59 iPads, 40
smart boards, 34 printers, four
servers, a wireless system, telephones, scanners, and even fax
machines, with an 8-to-10-year
replacement cycle on many of
those. The technology question
is based on two things: maintaining the technology we have,
and the replacement of outdated
technology. Technology that did
not exist in the school years of

previous generations, is an essential requirement for the education of todays youth. Were
required to have our MCA
(Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments) testing online, and
its certainly used for teaching,
learning and communication.
These are not frills they are
necessary pieces of equipment.
And, whatever they decide to
go into, students need to learn
technology for their careers.
He stressed that the second
question is not for a one-to-one
device initiative.
Thats not whats intended, he said. What we
want is to be on the cutting
edge, and provide our students
with quality technology. We
want to make sure that when
kids take a test, our system isnt
crashing because of our technology.
Going forward
If the levies are not
passed, Redemske said, We
go on with the status quo. We
project our revenues, establish
our expenditures, and we make
cuts for the next school year.
Already, the district has cut
back on teachers, custodial and

office staff, and extracurricular
activities. Should the levies be
approved, Redemske has expressed desires to add back an
elementary art program and attempt to attract a licensed high
school physics teacher, positions he said he does not see as
frills.
Were very fortunate with
the quality of staff we have
here, he said. But lets not kid
ourselves: Our negotiated contract settlement and the teachers were very reasonable in
negotiations is not going to be
the top settlement around. We
are done bargaining with our
teachers now for two years. On
the other side, 82 percent of our
general expenses are salaries
and other services like the
Wright Tech Center and the
Meeker and Wright Special Education Cooperative. We dont
make widgets here; we provide
a service, and quite frankly, I
think we do a very good job.
The school board and administration, he said, strive to
be cognizant and respectful of
the taxpayers pocketbooks.
Everybody wants their tax
dollars to be used wisely, he

said. The board has always
tried to be conscientious, and
some would say Im a cheapskate. Were just looking for a
financial boost here. A lot is expected of public schools nowadays, and I think its a reflection
on our staff and our community
that no matter what, we will
move forward and do the best
we can. This is an opportunity
for the community to give us
guidance on what they want in
their school district.
The schools have not
brought a referendum to the
voters since 2007, and although
a 2006 operating levy will expire next year, Redemske said
recent legislative changes have
exceeded and for all intents
and purposes, negated the operating levy voters had approved at that time.
Unlike the three-question
ballot presented to voters in
2006, the referendum presented
November 3, 2015 will not be a
contingency ballot.
Polls will be open in the
Maple Lake High School Commons Tuesday, November 3,
from 7 a.m. through 8 p.m.
dissented.
.Regarding other matters on
the evenings agenda, the board:
Reviewed and discussed
the November 3 referendum.
Redemske said information had
been posted to the district website and sent to parents. Regarding the request for an increase in
the operating levy, he noted that
state funding has not kept up
with inflation, while property
poor districts such as Maple
Lake face taxation challenges
wealthier districts do not experience. Budget reductions over
the past five years have not been
sufficient to offset a declining
budget balance, he said, and
passage of the referendum items
would allow the district to deliver quality education and have
the funds to do it. As for the second ballot question pertaining to
technology issues, he noted that
an increased need for better security measures has added to an
already vast array of technological infrastructure that requires
constant maintenance, examination and updating. The biggest
difficulty in achieving voter approval of the two requests, he
said, is clarifying the message
that the proposed increase of
$529.60 per pupil unit does not
indicate the amount an individual taxpayer will pay, adding
that if voters have any questions
on the issues, they are welcome
to give him a call at the district

office. Informational meetings
will take place October 27th and
28th at 7 p.m. in the high school
auditorium. An addition to the
districts web site (www.maplelake.k12.mn.us) enables voters
to calculate personal tax impact
of the referendum for any single
address in the school district.
Found on the sites homepage,
midway down the left-hand column, the feature is titled November 3rd Referendum, and
also contains a link to further information on the proposed
levies.
Approved coaching assignments for the winter sports season. Tim Staloch will head up
the boys basketball program, assisted by Brad Baumann and assistant fundraiser Casey Pack.
Aaron Hagle will coach junior
high. For girls basketball, Adam
Ronnenberg will lead at the
high school level, with Aaron
Hagle heading up the junior
high program. Katelyn Helmbrecht will coach gymnastics,
assisted by Kris Jackson, with
Paul Fouquette handling junior
high and spotter duties. Steve
Kosloski will assist with the
wrestling program, and Andrew
Brown will supervise the
weight room. Eric Meyer will
coach high school speech, with
Mary Beth Barder and Ben
Youngs coaching at the junior
high level. Mary Beth Barder

will direct the one-act play program. Boys and girls hockey
coaches are hired by Monticello
and Buffalo, respectively. Positions yet to be determined include assistant ninth-grade and
junior high boys basketball
coaches and a junior high
speech coach.
Discussed possible solutions to address sewer backups
in the elementary boiler room
that occurred in December 2014
and again in September of this
year. Redemske said he had met
with city officials and that some
of the causative issues may be
reduced by the installation of a
grease trap at Bernatellos and
an alarm system at a manhole
near the intersection of County
Road 8 and Highway 55. There
was also discussion of installing
gauge and shut-off valves on
school property, and a meeting
of the Building and Grounds
Committee was scheduled for
Oct. 28.
Closed the meeting to

discuss potential items associated with contract negotiations
with support staff, confidential
staff and principals. Each of
these bargaining groups has
submitted a letter of intent to
negotiate.
The boards next meeting
will be Monday, Nov. 9, at 7
p.m.

2015-16 NBA Eastern
Conference Preview
The mornings are brisk and
the leaves are changing colors,
but its still hard to believe the
NBA season is less than ten days
away. Over the next two weeks,
well preview the 2015-16 season and take our best guesses at
what to expect, come playoff
time. With respect to using our
space wisely, our team previews
will be limited to one word for
each win that team had a season
ago.
Atlantic Division
1.Toronto Raptors: Last
year (49 wins) Swept in round
one, a season ago, by the Wizards, Toronto added SF DeMarre
Caroll as well as some much
needed depth. DeMar DeRozan
and Kyle Lowry lead a high
scoring Raptors squad, however
objects in Torontos mirror are
closer than they appear. Those
objects being the Boston Celtics.
Prediction: 44-38*
2.Boston Celtics: (40 wins)
The Celtics are going to be
sneaky good and possibly even
good enough to win the Atlantic.
Theyre still pretty young, but
are also deep, with no stars, but
plenty of guys capable of getting
hot on any given night. Prediction: 43-39*
3.Brooklyn Nets: (38 wins)
When Mikhail Prokhorov
bought the Nets, he said if they
werent NBA champs in five
years, he would punish himself
by getting married. The Nets
stink, are for sale, and Prokhorov
has a promise to live up to. Prediction: 29-53
4.New York Knicks: (17
wins) Even the legendary Phil
Jackson needs time to rebuild
this disaster. Carmelo returns,
rookie Prozingis; athletic Dirk?
Prediction: 27-55
5.Philadelphia 76ers: (18
wins) Years of tanking has gotten
Philly nowhere. Number three
draft pick Jahlil Okafor joins a
roster of misfits. Prediction: 2062
Central Division
1.Cleveland Cavaliers: (53
wins) It would be an absolute
shock if the Cavs failed to reach
the Eastern Conference Finals.
Entering the season with a
healthy (for now) Kevin Love
and Kyrie Irving, for LeBron and
crew, anything less than bringing
the city of Cleveland its first
sports title since 1964 will be
viewed as a failure. Prediction:
59-23*
2.Chicago Bulls: (50 wins)
Having played just 100 games
over the past four seasons, how
much longer will the Derrick
Rose drama go on? With rookie
Bobby Portis and the same cast
of characters, the Bulls are crazy
deep. But, until they remain
healthy for an entire season,
dont expect too much postseason noise. Prediction: 52-30*
3.Milwaukee Bucks: (41
wins) A team on the rise, the
Bucks could surprise many. With
a core of sub-25 year olds, the
brightest could be the trio not yet
old enough to order an alcoholic

beverage; Jabari Parker, Giannis
Antetokounmpo
(20)
and
Rashad Vaughn (19). Prediction:
45-37*
4.Detroit Pistons: (32 wins)
The new-look Pistons will
stretch the floor. They also have
an intriguing mix of youth with
veteran leadership, but while
theyre banking on Reggie Jackson, Im just not sure hes star
material. Prediction: 38-44
5.Indiana Pacers: (38 wins)
It will be great to see Paul
George back on the court, but the
Pacers are far from the team they
were two years ago. Bravo for
dumping Hibbert and getting
more athletic, but a ways to go.
Prediction: 35-47
Southeast Division
1.Atlanta Hawks: (60 wins)
Aside from DeMarre Carroll, the
roster returns. The Hawks also
added depth with Tim Hardaway
Jr. and Tiago Splitter. The sixty
wins arent reachable as nearly
everything went to script for Atlanta last season. However, with
how bleak the east is yet again,
they should be good enough to
get another shot at Cleveland,
and LeBron, in the conference finals. Prediction: 48-34*
2.Washington Wizards: (46
wins) The loss of future Hall of
Famer, Paul Pierce, will hurt
much more than people think, especially come playoff time. John
Wall and Bradley Beal are
bonafide stars, but the Wizards
combination of a front line thats
not great and little quality depth,
will be costly. Prediction: 4339*
3.Miami Heat: (37 wins)
The health of Dwayne Wade and
Chris Bosh will either make or
break the Heats season. Depending on whom you talk to, a potential star fell in their lap on
draft night., when they landed
Justice Winslow. Prediction: 4141*
4.Orlando Magic: (25 wins)
Another team with countless talented youngsters, the Magic are
heading in the right direction.
However, they may be a few
years from putting it together.
Prediction: 33-49
5.Charlotte Hornets: (33
wins) The Hornets took a huge
step backwards after a 2014
playoff birth. Nic Batum, Jeremy
Lamb, and rookie Frank Kaminsky will help, but theyre not the
difference between a playoff and
non-playoff team. Prediction:
32-50

School Board
Redemske pointed out that
elements of morale and hiring
were important factors to consider, warning that the schools
would lose many good people if
they werent paid a fair wage,
which he believes the contract
reflects.
If the operating levy proposal is not passed, it was
agreed, further cuts will be necessary.
We dont have any real
choice, Michalicek said. We
have to pay our people fairly.
Were paying our people reasonable, not outrageous. And if
the community doesnt want to
give us any more money to
work with, then every person
here will have more students to
work with. Theres nothing else
we can do about it.
Commenting that academic
standards are much higher than
they used to be and that Maple
Lake is fortunate to have many
good educators, Redemske said
the teachers had approved the
contract by a 46-5 vote and recommended the school board do
the same.
The vote was taken in the absence of Boardmember Rick
Thomas. Michalicek and Boardmembers Shelly McAlpine,
Shelly Liljequist and Joe Paumen voted in favor of the contract, while Mavencamp and
Boardmember Ben Elsenpeter

No
BY VOTING "YES" ON THIS
BALLOT QUESTION, YOU ARE
VOTING FOR A PROPERTY TAX
INCREASE.
_______________________
Passage of School District Question 1 or School District Question 2
will result in an increase in your property taxes.
The annual dollar increases for
typical residential homesteads,
apartments, commercial-industrial
properties, and most other classes of
property within the school district are
as shown in the table below.
For agricultural property (both
homestead and non-homestead), the
taxes for School District Question 1
will be based on the value of the
house, garage and surrounding one
acre of land only. There will be no
referendum taxes for School District
Question 1 paid on the value of other
agricultural lands and buildings. For
seasonal residential recreational
property (i.e. cabins), there will be no
taxes paid for School District Question 1.
