How to
prepare for a
good blood
donation
experience
Healthy individuals are
needed every day to maintain an
adequate blood supply for patients in need. Once a donor has
made the commitment to give
blood it is important to take a
few simple steps to prepare and
help ensure a good donation experience.
The American Red Cross recommends getting a good night's
sleep, drinking an extra 16
ounces of water, eating iron-rich
foods to maintain a healthy iron
level, and consuming a low-fat
meal before donating.
Donating blood is an easy
way to help others and only takes
about an hour. The Red Cross encourages donors to give blood
every time they are eligible every 56 days for whole blood
donations and every 112 days for
double red cell donations.
Upcoming blood donation
opportunity: Sat., Nov. 14,
from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at
the Maple Lake American Legion Club, 220 1st St. W.

Improvements could smooth way for skaters

by Katie Friedman
Correspondent
At its most recent meeting,

Tuesday, Oct. 20, the Maple
Lake City Council accepted an
application by Madigans Pub &
Grill proprietor Chris Nelson to
address drainage issues on a lot
where he hopes to eventually install a skating rink for hockey,
recreational use and special
events.
Nelson predicated his remarks to the council by saying
that the realization of a hockey
rink is at this point a distant goal,
and that his immediate purpose
is to improve the sites drainage

with some leveling and the installation of drain tile.
If everything went right, I
would come back in a month to
ask for permission for a conditional use permit to put a hockey
rink in, he said.
For the present, though, he
said he wished to file an application to fill and tile the lot, proclaiming a desire to properly
rectify its drainage issues regardless of future use.
Eventually, what Id like to
have is more of a place to have
events, a place to have a hockey
rink and a skating rink, he said.

If everything goes right, then
maybe we could do a recreational rink this year, maybe put
up a couple lights for it, let people use the porch for changing
skates and whatever. But that
would be after Im approved for
the fill, after its done, and after
we take that next step.
He told the council he intended to borrow no money for
a seasonal project and would
complete it incrementally, with
an eye to the future and hopes of
installing a regulation hockey
rink next year and slowly ex-
panding amenities for winters to

follow.
I just think theres not
enough to do in Maple Lake in
the winter, he said. And Id
like to make it so there are more
activities.
City staff and councilmembers will review the application
before the next regular council
meeting.
In other business, the council:
Approved, by a 4-1 vote,
final payment of $2,716.30 for
the 2014 Topsoil and Seeding
Project to Gertken Bros., Inc. To
date, the city has approved
$24,242.50 in payments for topsoil and seeding work. As the

seeding work was not acceptable, full payment has been
withheld, and the contractor has
previously submitted payment
requests for the work it believes
to be completed, with an additional statement that any further
work will require further compensation. The final amount reflects a reduction of $500 in the
amount requested by Gertken to
account for city staff time spent
on seeding.

I gave pheasant hunting locally my best effort on Tuesday of last
week and blew a golden opportunity to harvest a two-bird limit
when I didnt connect on an adult rooster which Vanna pointed well.
She also pointed the first bird which was small and one of this
years hatch. To summarize my last two outings, 1 - 4, which is almost enough to tell me its time to hang up the 12 gauge. But being
something of an eternal optimist, I plan to give pheasant hunting a
try in North Dakota starting Oct. 26 with Mike Muller and Daryl
Hennen. We plan to hunt the northwestern part of that state with
Mikes son, Ken, who lives in White Earth, west of Tioga. . .
Mike and I tried a couple of spots west of Milan last week Thursday
and found the birds scarce. We hunted a Wildlife Management Area
first where two roosters and one hen flushed well out of range. Our
next effort was in the Perry Waterfall Production Area which has a
standing crop of corn, some harvested corn and soybeans which
looked like it should be a magnet for birds. It wasnt, but three other
hunters coming from the opposite end flushed three hens. So Id
say that might be an area to avoid the remainder of the season. .
. There were numerous anglers fishing in the Minnesota River,
both from boats, shore and fishing dock. It would have been prudent
for us to bring along some tackle and join them. .

Decker and an entourage of nine hunters chose the Marshall area
opening weekend and harvested 15 pheasants on Saturday. Decker
said he had two opportunities, shot both roosters, and saw only two

Who May Not Own or
Possess a Gun
There has been much public
debate about gun laws in reaction to the several tragic multiple
shootings in schools and public
places this year. This article will
focus, however, on federal and
Minnesota laws which already
absolutely prohibit the possession of firearms or ammunition
by certain persons.
Under federal law, a person
convicted of a felony crime is
barred from gun possession.
Federal law also prohibits those
with certain types of domestic
violence convictions and domestic restraining orders from possessing a gun. Under Minnesota
law, the following persons are
not entitled to possess ammunition, a pistol, an assault weapon,
or any other firearm (this list is
not exhaustive since the statute
itself is lengthy):
1. A person under the age of
18 years, except in the actual

presence or under the direct supervision of the persons parent
or guardian, or for a military
drill, or for the purpose of instruction, competition, or target
practice on a firing range.
2. A person who has been
convicted, or adjudicated delinquent, of a crime of violence.
3. A person who is or has ever
been civilly committed in Minnesota or elsewhere by a judicial
determination that the person is
mentally ill, or who has ever
been found incompetent to stand
trial.
convicted in Minnesota or elsewhere of a misdemeanor or gross
misdemeanor violation of chapter 152 (drug crime).
committed to a treatment facility
in Minnesota or elsewhere by a
judicial determination that the
person is chemically dependent.
other hens on the opening Saturday. They felt it was too hot to hunt
on Sunday. The following week his son, Riley, and his friends shot
six on the MEA weekend. Dale said there was still lots of standing
corn, but thats three weeks ago and he felt hunting would only get
better in the southwest. . . He and two friends also put in a
weekend of ruffed grouse hunting and bagged 10 birds in the northwestern part of the state. He said they stuck to hunting trails because
they hadnt had a frost and underbrush was too green for much visibility. So it seems there are birds, both pheasants and grouse are
spotty, but if you hunt the correct areas youd probably do alright.
The down-side is the correct areas are more than a one day-trip and
youd probably do better staying over a night or two.

The firearms deer hunting seasons begin Nov. 7 in 1A, 2A and
3A and Nov. 21-29 again in 3A. The muzzle loading season is from
Nov. 28 through Dec. 13. That sounds simple enough, but checking
the DNRs regulations might save hunters a lot of headaches. I dont
hunt deer anymore, but from my outings this fall it seems like there
are substantially more small corn patches tucked away in corners
of brush and woods. To me that borders on baiting, and while it may
be legal, it doesnt fit the fair hunt category many of us old-timers
were taught to observe. In my day there were instances of baiting,
some hunters dumped apples while others might have a salt block
in an opportune spot near a tree stand, but they were rare instances.
I get a little jealous when I see the deluxe deer stands that are available nowadays. We were lucky to nail some 2x4s to a triangle of
three popple trees and put a platform on it. One year I crawled into
an older rickety stand (someone elses) east of Menahga, shot a
buck from it and fell about six feet when the top rung on the popple
ladder gave way as I was going to crawl down. As the saying goes,
alls well that ends well and I didnt hurt myself. The moral of the
story is to be careful, more careful than I was! And good luck in
the deer season.

convicted of a felony.
8. A person who is subject to
an order for protection as a respondent.
As a result of Minnesota legislative changes effective in August 2014, the following orders
in court require that defendants
(criminal cases) and respondents
(civil cases) surrender their
firearms or transfer them to a
law enforcement agency, to a
federally-licensed
firearms
dealer, or to a person who may
lawfully possess them; and surrender a permit to carry a
firearm:
1. Domestic assault conviction
2. Stalking conviction
3. Order for Protection (after
a domestic abuse civil hearing)
4. Domestic Child Abuse No
Contact Orders
The firearms transfer and surrender of a permit to carry a
firearm must occur within two
business days and the defendant
or respondent must file an affidavit with the court that the
transfer has taken place. The person to whom the firearm was
transferred cannot reside with
the transferor. If the court de-

cides that there is an imminent

risk of harm to the victim, the
court may order a law enforcement agency to take immediate
possession of the firearm. This
could include law enforcement
going to a residence and confiscating a firearm. The length of
time that a firearm must be surrendered or transferred is up to
two years for Order for Protections and Domestic Child Abuse
No Contact Orders; and three
years to life in criminal cases depending upon whether a firearm
was used during the crime.
Possessing a firearm while ineligible to do so is a gross misdemeanor
or
felony
in
Minnesota depending on the circumstances. Judges have no authority to make exceptions for
hunting or other recreational use,
though sometimes lawyers ask
for a hunting exception. A person
ineligible to possess a firearm
may petition the court for
restoration of their gun rights, if
they have been discharged from
probation, are not incarcerated,
and prove good cause.
All of these laws concern
who is ineligible to possess or
own a firearm in Minnesota. The
laws have all been upheld by the
appellate courts as not violating
the Second Amendment right to
bear arms. As the United States
and Minnesota Supreme Courts
make clear, the right secured by
the Second Amendment is not
unlimited. Instead, the Second
Amendment protects the rights
of law-abiding, responsible citizens[.]

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Neil Dickenson
Question: What are the leading contributing factors in
crashes in Minnesota?
Answer: Great question.
When law enforcement is
called to investigate a crash, in
most cases, we complete the
Minnesota Accident Report.
The report requires the officer to
fill in or answer certain questions
that pertain to the incident from
road and weather conditions,
driver and vehicle information,
and contributing factors on how
and why the crash occurred.
When the crash report is submitted, the crash data is stored
and used to help prevent future
crashes through engineering, education and enforcement. The
contributing factors are used by
law enforcement to help us determine what caused it and how
we can reduce crashes in the future.
Minnesotas top 5 contributing factors from 20102014:
FATAL CRASHES
1. Speeding
2. Fail to Yield
3. Driver Inattention
4. Chemical Impairment
5. Driving Left of Center
INJURY CRASHES
2. Fail to Yield
3. Speeding
4. Following Too Closely

5. Weather
P R O P E RT Y D A M A G E
CRASHES
2. Fail to Yield
3. Speeding
4. Following Too Closely
5. Weather
Statistics surrounding contributing factors to crashes are
compiled by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office
of Traffic Safety. The patrol uses
this information to focus our enforcement efforts on educating
the public on dangerous driving
behaviors, which will hopefully
lead to preventing crashes.
By paying attention, driving
the speed limit, wearing your
seat belt and never driving while
impaired, you can reduce your
chances of being involved in a
potentially life-changing crash.
A portion of state statutes was
used with permission from the
Office of the Revisor of Statutes.

questions to Sgt. Neil Dickenson

It has been seven years since

Wright County and the City of
Monticello teamed up in an effort to purchase land for the
Bertram Chain of Lakes Park.
Parks Administrator Marc Mattice has been before the Wright
County Board of Commissioners dozens of times in that span
seeking authorization to apply
for grant funding for the project.
At the Oct. 20 meeting of the
county board, he made what he
hopes will be one of his last
pitches.
I think were seeing the light
at the end of the tunnel, Mattice
said. Its been a long road, but,
if we can get the latest grant application approved through the
legacy funds, it would be the last
land acquisition money we
would be going after.
In 2008 when the concept
plan was drawn up, the total cost
of the project was estimated at
$20.5 million. Through 2016,
$15.9 million has been encumbered to date and, of that money,
latest two grants that were approved were $2.27 million in

funding for Phase 7 of the land
acquisition ($1.4 million in grant
dollars and the remaining
$800,000 being a local match),
and a Phase 8 purchase of
$240,578, with $100,000 of that
being grant funds.
The final phase of the acquisition process will be Phase 10
of the project, which will be
seeking a $700,000 local match
from the county and City of
Monticello and a grant request
of $2.8 million. At the Oct. 20
board meeting, the commissioners authorized Mattice to submit
that grant request.
If I get the grant that were
looking for in Phase 10, that
would be the last of the passive
land that would be needed,
Mattice said. That would leave
41 acres that Monticello would
be looking to get grant money
for to purchase for the ball fields
that are part of the park property.

ization to seek more grant funding was met by a 3-2 vote at the
county board level. The timing
couldnt have been worse, as the
economic recession that gripped
the country in the latter part of
the last decade was at its worst
to the point that Mattice wasnt
sure the project would get off the
ground or be as comprehensive
as it has turned out to be.
Its been a long time coming, Mattice said. We knew
this was going to be an ambitious project that was going to
come with a price tag. Especially considering what was
going on at the time with the recession. There have been times
when I didnt think the full acquisition of the park would
come to fruition, but I think the
vision that the county and city
had was to do it right.
Mattice credits the availability of grant dollars for the
preservation of open spaces as
being a key factor in the project
being able to get this close to
and smaller park and trail grants

from the state and federal government have been key and, as
the county gets closer to finalizing the process almost a decade
after it began, Mattice is giving
out a sigh of relief that all the
hard work has paid off.
There were a lot of things
that had to work together to get
the project done, Mattice said.
I dont think we would be anywhere near the point we are if
not for the legacy grant money
and the other grant programs
that we have successfully been
able to get funding from. I think
we also needed to have people in
charge at the county and the city
that saw the vision of what this
park could be. It wasnt easy
when times were really tough to
keep funding the park. They did,
and now weve got a park that
everyone in the county can be
really proud of for years to
come.

The history of Halloween

by Nick Pawlenty
Correspondent
Whether it's kids or adults,

Halloween has something for
everyone. Known to be the second-largest commercial holiday
in the nation after Christmas,
raking in 6.9 billion dollars annually, Halloween is the quintessential American "melting pot."
Halloween stems from all cultures with traditions both religious and pagan. The name
Halloween emerged from the
names "hallow-even, "all hallows eve, or "hallow-eve.
These names came about due to
the fact that All Saints Day, November 1st, is the day right after
Halloween. According to the
Catholic church back in old
times, a day started at sunset
which in turn was why Halloween or "Hallow-Even" was
named as such.
Halloween has been happening every year in America since
1920, with exceptions of 1942
and 1943 when WWII put a
damper on the holiday. In the
1920s and 1930s Halloween was
actually problematic for some
people. Halloween was looked at
as an excuse for bad behavior,
vandalism, and even physical assaults. Even the KKK took advantage of the night to wreak
havoc in towns and cities. The
saying "trick or treat" actually
derives from these issues. Trick
or treating was a way to keep
kids and young adults busy and
keep them out of trouble, even
though trick or treating had its issues at the beginning. Many
thought trick or treating was extortion to a certain extent, either
people gave treats or were subject to malicious tricks. Many

thought it was necessary to hand
out treats just so they knew nothing was going to be messed with
or vandalized. The trick or treating we know now emanated out
of the 1940s and has continued
since.
Minnesota has a big part of
Halloween history, with Anoka
credited as the first city in American history to officially hold a
Halloween celebration to divert
kids from pranking and vandalism in their town. Anoka is
known in America as the "Halloween capital of the world,
with Salem, Massachusetts in a
close second. Actually, this has
been a hot debate between the
two on who's first when it comes
to Halloween and many officials
tend to stay out of the brutal debate. Anoka celebrates with
handing out candy, a parade, an
orange tie ball, and a house decorating competition.
Maple Lake celebrates this
ghastly holiday with similar traditions. There will be a business
trick or treating event October
30th, between 3 to 5 p.m., where
young kids are invited to walk
the streets and trick or treat at
some of the businesses in the
area. Of course, there will be
celebrations and trick or treating
for everyone, including costumes
galore on Halloween night.
Whether its taking out the
kids for some trick or treating, or
trying to find the right kind of
spirits, this Halloween should
make for a good time. Remember to be safe and be wary of all
the ghouls and ghosts out there.
cation pay into the month of

February.
Approved the purchase of a
2004 Chevrolet Venture van for
$1,700 from M&M Express, to
be used as an airport courtesy
car.
In a measure to protect the
citizens water source, and at the
recommendation of the U.S.
Homeland Security Department
and the American Water Works
Association, approved a conditional use permit to the City of
Maple Lake to attach barbed
wire fencing along the top of an
existing fence surrounding public/government property located
at 405 Oak Avenue South, under
conditions that no-trespassing
and barbed-wire warning signs
be posted along the fence line.
Granted a variance request
to Dan and Julie Clasemann,
property owners at 600 Maple
Avenue North, who plan to add
a third stall to an existing garage
that would encroach beyond the
allowed variance from the property line. The Clasemanns plan
to remove an existing shed and
to perhaps replace it with a
smaller shed behind the addition.
Noted that the Wright
County Planning Commission
will hold a hearing at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, November 12, to consider amendments to sign regulations,
building
permits,
screening in fencing, wind energy conversion systems and
suburban pole shed size restrictions.
Approved a consent agenda
that included: Ken Elsenpeter to
work with the Wright County
Mounted Patrol Service as
needed and as approved by the
public works director; a change
of the liquor store manager position to pay grade 11; payment
number 1 in the amount of
$46,588.48 to Mid-Minnesota
Hot Mix; reports by the city engineer, economic development
and the planning and zoning
commission; purchase of downtown flower baskets and hangers
for 2016 from Carlson Wholesale Greenhouses at a cost of
$688.40; and a donation of $435
from the Maple Lake Lions for
the Maple Lake Ambassadors.
The council is scheduled to
meet for a brief discussion of
bonding matters Wednesday,
November 4, at 6 p.m. The councils next regular meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, at 7 p.m.
City council
continued from page 1
With payment of the remaining amount, the total topsoil and
seeding payments will be
$26,958.80. City Engineer Phil
Gravel admitted the seeding
process had not gone well and
results of the turf establishment
were disappointing. However, as
Gertken Bros. appears to have
met the requirements of the contract, it was his recommendation, as well as City Attorney
Rhonda Pagels, that the final
payment should be made. Councilmember Deb Geyen cast the
dissenting vote, saying that the
city should not have to pay for
unsatisfactory work. Gravel advised that in future negotiations,
the city could increase its specifications, at an added cost.
Adopted a resolution appointing Lake Central Insurance
and Paul Manuel as agent of
record, and approved the annual
and premium renewal payment
of $54,965. Manuel said the
citys overall actual insurance
costs were decreasing by 2.8
percent, despite the additions of
a plow truck, adjustments to the
valuation of some equipment,
and a large-pool liability premium increase. The council also
adopted a resolution not waiving
the monetary limit on municipal

tort liability, which is something
of an annual ritual, as it is commonly deemed in the best interest of the community to do so.
Adopted a resolution transferring $49,397.05 from the Fire
Department Fund to the Maple
Lake Firemens Relief Association. The city has received that
amount in state aid, and the
transfer is required. Councilmembers Bart Lauer and Todd
Jude, as members of the fire department, abstained.
Recognized and thanked
Public Works Director Jerry
Sawatzke for 35 years of service
and dedication to the city.
Heard an update from
Mayor Lynn Kissock on the hiring process for filling the liquor
store managers position upon
Carole Bestlands retirement at
the end of this year. Five top
candidates have been selected
and are undergoing further
scrutiny, which will include interviews with the council during
the first two weeks of November, with a special meeting
planned for Tuesday, Nov. 10, at
6 p.m. for action to hire. The

Heres How It Works:

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

* Authorized signatures on a

cost of the medical examiners
services are based on a population at a rate of $2.50 per person. In 2015, the state

Locals recognized
for achievements
Two 1978 MLHS graduates,
Carol McBrady and Steve
Pawelk, have gone on to earn recent awards for stewardship in
the greater world.
After leaving Maple Lake,
Pawelk graduated from Bemidji
University and went on to become an ordained Glenmary
priest in 1989. After several
years as a Glenmary vocation
director, he established a
Catholic parish in Maynardsville, Tennessee and was
recently recognized by the
Catholic Extension Society for
"establishing a Catholic presence, where none had ever been
and for developing ecumenical
relationships with the other pastors and churches in the area."
McBrady, still very wellknown in the Maple Lake area,
moved to Zambia, Africa and
Deer hunters encouraged

to buy license early
founded Action For ChildrenZambia (AFCZ) in 2003. Beginning as a treatment home in

Lusaka, AFCZ has grown into a
program that provides a home,
education and work training for
children. A donation of land by
an African chief provided a
place for a farm, expanding her
mission work. The farm is
worked and managed by Zambians, many of whom are
McBrady's former students. The
farm is developing a means of
sustainable income for Action
For Children-Zambia by selling
eggs, chickens, maize and vegetables with three guidance
homes for them and children.
Catholic Relief Services in
Zambia recognized AFCZ as the
"most effective rehabilitation
program for homeless children
in Zambia."
OCTOBER-BOOK-FEST
BUY 1, PICK 1 FREE! Final Week!
With nearly 500,000 firearms

deer hunters in the state, the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources encourages
hunters to purchase their licenses early to avoid long lines
and any potential system issues
associated with the high sales
volume. The 2015 Minnesota
firearms deer season begins Saturday, Nov. 7.
There are usually lines of
people who wait to buy licenses
until the Thursday and Friday
before the firearms deer opener.
Last year we sold more than
120,000 licenses on those two
days, said Steve Michaels,
DNR licensing program director. Buying early lets you avoid
the lines and spend more time
getting ready to hunt.
Deer licenses can be purchased at DNR license agents
across Minnesota, by phone at
888-665-4236 or online at
www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense.
There are additional fees for
telephone and Internet transactions. Hunters who purchase li-
censes by phone and Internet

will receive their deer license
and tags by mail, which can take
three to five business days to arrive, so hunters who choose
these options should allow
enough time for delivery.
Hunters must have a valid deer
license and tag in their possession when hunting deer.
The information center and
license center at DNR headquarters in St. Paul will extend their
hours on opening weekend to
accommodate additional phone
calls from deer hunters. Phone
lines will be open on Friday,
Nov. 6, until 8 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 7, from 8 a.m. to
noon.
Hunters need to be familiar
with deer hunting regulations,
which are available at any DNR
license agent or online at
www.mndnr.gov/regulations/hu
nting.
License questions should be
directed to the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or
888-646-6367.

Exploring the safety of the HPV vaccine

by Jane Kvalheim (BSN, RN, PHN)
Wellness on Wheels
As my daughter prepared to
enter 7th grade this year, even as
a nurse, I must admit I was a little
leery about the HPV (Human papillomavirus) vaccine that was
recommended by her doctor this
summer. This vaccine, which
protects against several types of
cancers, seemed like a smart decision, but horror stories via social media caused me to question
if this was a safe choice for my
child. So I decided to find out for
myself, what was true and what
was speculation. After talking to
my doctor and looking at the actual research, here are some facts
that led me to choose the HPV
vaccine for my daughter.
What is HPV?
HPV is a very common infection spread easily by skin-skin
contact. While most cases are
sexually transmitted, even people
who have never had sexual intercourse can get it. In most cases
HPV goes away on its own; but
when it doesnt, it can cause cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina,
penis and anus. It is responsible
for 360,000 cases of genital
warts, and can cause cancer in
the back of the throat, base of the
tongue and tonsils. According to
the CDC, about 14 million people become newly infected with
HPV, 11,000 will be diagnosed
with cervical cancer and 3,700 of
them will die each year.
Who should get the
HPV vaccine?
All kids who are 11 or 12
years old should get the three
dose series of HPV vaccine. Teen
boys and girls who did not get
the vaccine when they were
younger should get it now.
Young women can get HPV vaccine through age 26, and young
men can get vaccinated through
age 21. The vaccine is also rec-

78 high school and 22 elementary students in the Friends of
Rachel Club will be attending

ommended for gay and bisexual

young men (or any young man
who has sex with men) and also
for young men with compromised immune systems (including HIV) through age 26, if they
did not get HPV vaccine when
they were younger.
Who recommends the
HPV vaccine?
American Academy of Pediatrics, American Cancer Society,
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, The
Center for Disease Control and
Prevention, Minnesota Department of Health, World Health
Organization, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetricians, The American
Academy of Family Physicians,
American College of Physicians
and American Public Health Association
But is it safe?
According to Dr. Rupert
Kaul, a professor in the Department of Medicine and Immunology and the head of Infectious
Diseases at the University of
Toronto, About 169 million
doses of the HPV vaccine have
been administered worldwide. In
any given large population, there
will be illness and death. This is
a statistical fact. To attribute rare
and devastating occurrences to a
vaccine requires evidence of causation of which the international
scientific community has not
been able to do.
Here are some facts:
1. Extensive pre- and post-licensure data of the safety of the
HPV vaccine have been conducted.
2. Since it was licensed in
2009, the CDC and FDA have
been closely monitoring the

safety of the HPV vaccine and
found that all serious adverse
events were analyzed by medical
experts. They were unable to find
a common medical pattern linking these events to the HPV vaccine.
3. From June 2006-March
2013, there were 22,000 adverse
events reported. As noted in a
follow-up report from the CDC,
92% of those reports were classified as non-serious, the other
8% involved symptoms such as
headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, fainting and
generalized weakness, which are
all similar to the temporary side
effects of other vaccines, such as
the tetanus shot.
4. Trials involving more than
20,000 females and males found
no difference between the
placebo group and the group that
received the vaccine in the following areas. There were no differences in the frequency of
serious adverse events. Death occurred in 0.1% in both groups,
with no deaths deemed vaccine
related. There was no difference
in the reporting of new onset autoimmune conditions, which occurred 2.4% in both groups over
a 4-year, follow-up period. One
difference in the two groups;
temporary injection site reactions
(pain, redness, and swelling)
were more common in vaccine
recipients than those who received the placebo.

If Halloween typically finds

you curled up on the sofa with a
bowl of popcorn in hand and a
favorite scary movie all set to
play, you may be interested to
learn some behind-the-scenes
horror movie trivia. Certain
movies may have turned out entirely different if they had starred
different actors, and special effects may not seem so scary if
you know what's actually behind
them. Here are 12 interesting
horror movie tidbits in honor of
Halloween.
1. Few movies are shot in the
order the scenes play out in the
final cut. However, "Texas
Chainsaw Massacre" was filmed
in chronological order.
2. Johnny Depp is known for
taking on some eccentric roles,
including Edward Scissorhands.
However, Tom Cruise was initially offered the title role in that
film, ultimately turning it down
because he wanted a happier
ending.
3. Jack Nicholson evoked
fear in many in his role in "The
Shining." But Robin Williams
and Robert De Niro also were
considered to play the part. Interestingly, Nicholson also was
considered for the role of Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the
Lambs," a role ultimately played
by Anthony Hopkins.
4. Tim Curry's real hair was
used in his role as Pennywise the
Clown in "It."
5. Chocolate syrup has often
been used as blood in horror
movies. Bosco(R) brand chocolate syrup was used in "Night of
the Living Dead." In the movie
"Psycho," chocolate sauce was
used because it appeared more
realistic in black-and-white filming during the famous shower
scene.
6. The symbolic white mask
that Michael Myers wears in

"Halloween" is actually a mask
of William Shatner. The production crew bought the cheapest
mask they could find at a party
store and spray-painted it white.
7. Long before Andrew
Lloyd Webber turned "The
Phantom of the Opera" into one
of the most successful musicals
of all time, it was a movie called
"The Phantom" based on Gaston
Leroux's book. The Phantom's
name is Erik, and he was a construction worker who helped
build the Paris Opera House.
8. Almost 50 gallons of fake
blood were used while shooting
the movie "Scream."
9. "The Blair Witch Project"
took eight days to shoot and had
a miniscule budget but went on
to gross $140 million domestically.
10. "Carrie" was the first
Stephen King book adapted to
film.
11. In the film "Stir of
Echoes," Kevin Bacon's hypnosis sequences are followed by a
musical note so viewers were
not left in a hypnotized state.
12. Father O'Malley, the
priest who played Father Dyer in
"The Exorcist," was involved in
the case that inspired the movie.
He claims the plot is based on an
exorcism of a young boy in
Maryland and that the movie is
80 percent factual.
Few items signal the fall harvest season more than the bright,
orange pumpkins that dot fields
and liven up displays outside of
homes and businesses. Come
fall, many pumpkins are turned
into grinning jack-o-lanterns just
in time for Halloween. But there
are many other uses for pumpkins as well.
Pumpkins are believed to
have originated in North America. Early Native Americans relied on pumpkins as a source of
food that helped them survive
long winters. Pumpkins could be
roasted, baked, boiled, and
dried, and they were eaten and
used as medicine. Pumpkin blossoms were added to stews. The
shells of the pumpkins could be
dried and used as eating and
storage vessels.
While pumpkins may now be
symbolic of Halloween, the following are a handful of additional ways this versatile fruit
can be put to use.
Beauty regimen
Pumpkins contain a number
of essential vitamins and minerals that can help replenish the
skin. Pumpkin puree can be
mixed with honey, aloe vera gel,
olive oil, and a bit of cornmeal
to create an exfoliating mask for
the face or body. Pumpkin also
can be used to rejuvenate dry or
tired skin from cold weather.
Honey, pumpkin and yogurt
can be mixed together and used
to condition hair. Let the mixture
sit for 15 to 20 minutes, and then
wash it out and shampoo.
Foods and beverages
Pumpkin puree is the basis
for many tasty, pumpkin-infused
treats. Puree can be used in pies,
cakes, muffins, breads, and
many additional foods. Pumpkin
pure^ae also may be found in
certain beverages, such as
smoothies and shakes. A bit of

Roasted pumpkin seeds make
a healthy treat. Foodies suggest
using the seeds from "sugar
pumpkins" or the ones best for
making pies. Boil the seeds for a
few minutes before draining.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and put the seeds in
a single layer. Bake at 400 F for
20 minutes. Allow to cool and
serve.
Pumpkin wines and beers are
popular as well. There are many
recipes for developing sweet,
fermented beverages, which
tend to be especially popular in
the fall.
The "guts" of the pumpkin
can be simmered along with aromatics and other vegetables to
create a vegetable stock perfect
for soups and broths.
Decorations
Pumpkins can also add to
one's home decor during the fall.
Pumpkins can be carved for Halloween displays, hollowed-out
to hold tealights or simply left
on tables and used as centerpieces. Larger pumpkins may be
used as natural flower pots for
mums or other seasonal floral
displays. As the Native Americans once did, pumpkins can be
hollowed-out and used as bowls
to serve favorite soups and dips.
Use a hollowed, small pumpkin as a natural aromatic candle
holder. Cut holes in the sides to
vent the exhaust. Rub aromatic
spices, such as cloves, nutmeg,
allspice, cinnamon, and vanilla
bean, on the inside of the pumpkin. Insert a beeswax candle in
the bottom of the pumpkin and
let it send inviting aromas into
the air.
Pumpkins are a versatile fruit
that can serve many purposes
beyond just jack-o-lanterns and
pies.

Boys second, girls third at CMC showdown

Carlson, Geyen, Deringer named all-conference
by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Irish cross country teams

finished second and third at the
Central Minnesota Conference
final meet in Pierz Thursday, Oct.
22, and earned several individual
all-conference and all-conference
honorable mention awards.
Devin Deringer earned all-
conference and led the boys team

to second place with his fifthplace finish in 17:07.57; Ross
Hickey was 11th with a time of
17:59.95; and Simon Willard was
14th with a time of 18:33.80 for
all-conference honorable mention.
Ben Smail crossed the finish
line for the Irish in 19:04.27 for
20th place; Michael Miller was
22nd in 19:17.89; Tanner Vassar
was 33rd in 19:45.92; and Brady
Tongen was 40th with a time of
20:09.08.
As a team, the Irish were only
16 points behind CMC champion
Holdingford which was closer

than they have been all year to
the Huskers, coach Ben Youngs
said. Osakis was third and
Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted
came in fourth.
The girls team finished third
overall in the CMC, led by Sommer Carlsons second-place finish in 19:39.14 and Halle
Geyens
fifth-place
finish
20:23.89. Both were named allconference.
Grace Heying finished 13th
with a time of 21:08.02 and Mary
Miller was 14th in 21:12.17 for
all-conference honorable men-

tion awards. Geyen, Heying and

Miller all ran their fastest times
of the season, Youngs said.
Finishing 25th for the Irish
was Bionca Peterson with a time
of 22:23.86; Margaret Graham
was 28th in 22.28.77; and Augusta DeMarais was 32nd in
23:21.74.
As a team, the girls were
beaten by Eden Valley-WatkinsKimball in first with 55 points
and Holdingford in second with
58 points. Maple Lake had 59
points. Osakis finished fourth in
the fight for the CMC title.
The girls ran a great race and
gave it a good fight, Young said.
EV-W-K had several girls run
much faster than they had ever
run. We were one point behind
Holdingford, just like I had calculated.
Both junior varsity teams
placed second on Thursday.
Up next for the Irish cross
country teams is the section meet
on Thursday, Oct. 29, at Milaca
to determine what teams and
what individuals will compete at
state, Saturday, Nov. 7, in St.
Olaf.

Irish beat HL-W-W to end regular season;

have high hopes for sections
by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake volleyball

team defeated Howard LakeWaverly-Winsted, Thursday,
Oct. 22, to secure a 6-1 Central
Minnesota Conference record
and boost their overall record to
22-6.
I think beating Howard
Lake was a great start to our
post-season, sophomore player
Linsey Rachel said. It will definitely be tough, but we are
ready for the challenge to come.
We hope to continue tradition
and make it back to the Xcel En-
ergy Center.
Olivia Marquette was 25-for26 serving with four aces and 31
set assists to lead the Irish to
their final CMC win of the regular season Thursday night, with
game scores of 25-19, 25-12,
20-25, 25-10.
Mollie Scheiber added eight
kills for the Irish.
We knew it was going to be
a tough game and we were prepared, Scheiber said after the
game. Our passes were good
which helped with the advantage to a good set and kill.
We did well all-around as a
team, we had some errors but

were able to win, Rachel
added. We did very well keeping them out of system by serving tough.
The Section 6-2A tournament
begins for the Irish on Thursday,
Oct. 29, with round two scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31. The
championship round will be
held at St. Cloud State University on Saturday, November 7.
The Irish hope to not only
make a return trip to state, but to
improve upon their fourth-place
finish last year at the prestigious
event.
I am very excited for playoffs, Scheiber said. I think we

are going to play very well. We
have to stay tough and play like
we know how.

Irish end season at section finals

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
After cruising past No. 2-seed

Spectrum in the second round of
the Section 4-2A football tournament, Tuesday, Oct. 20, the Irish
met their match in Howard LakeWaverly-Winsted four days later
at St. Johns University and lost
their shot at a return trip to state.
Maple Lake went into the
playoffs well prepared, according to head coach Tim Knudsen,
anticipating a series of tough battles in what coaches say is the
strongest division in class 2A.
Seeded No. 3, the Irish crushed
No. 6-seed Norwood-Young
America in that first bout for
their chance with Spectrum
where they played lights out
from snap to whistle and our
back-ups came in late in the third
quarter, Knudsen said.
On the same night the Irish
were celebrating their 43-16 win
over Spectrum, No. 5-seed
Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted
was pulling off an upset to eliminate the No. 1-seeded St. Agnes
40-20.
So it was that the Irish met the
Lakers once again in the final
round of the section tournament.
It was in this game last year
that Maple Lake ended Howard
Lake-Waverly-Winsteds season
for a ticket to state. In fact, until
Saturday, Maple Lake had beaten
the Lakers 13 consecutive times,
including a 46-14 win back in
September of this season.
So were the Lakers gunning
for the Irish Saturday?
Of course, Knudsen said.
Everyone is gunning for us, and
we wouldnt want it any other
way. Weve been to seven consecutive section finals and have
won four of them.
Although the Lakers were
struggling to find ways to win
early in the season, Saturday
they were coming in hot.
Maple Lake battled in that
first half, but missed two scoring
opportunities by turning the ball
over at the third and 10th yard
lines.
Down by 14 early, the Irish
never quit. They kept battling
and pulled within one score, but
couldnt get their defense off the
field when they needed to.
I have to give them (HL-WW) credit, Knudsen said. They
kept the chains moving and their
quarterback (Cole Gagnon)
played lights out.
Damian Kaley went 116
yards for the Irish on 18 carries
and scored two touchdowns in
the loss against the Lakers.

Austin Becker went 82 yards on
16 carries and scored one touchdown and Nate Mass went 84
yards on eight carries and scored
one touchdown.
I am so proud of our seniors, Knudsen said. They did
one heck of a job with all of the
adversity we had this season.
With hard work and dedicated
players and coaches, we will be
there again.

Cancer sucks. Weve most

likely all lost a loved one to the
terrible disease or at least we
know somebody who has been
taken from us far too soon after
losing a battle to cancer. On Sunday, the world lost a wonderful
human being and the NBA lost a
great leader and an amazing role
model. At the age of 60, Minnesota Timberwolves head
coach, team president, and part
owner, Flip Saunders, lost his
battle with cancer. Originally
slated to dole out my 2015-16
Western Conference preview,
upon hearing the startlingly
tragic news of Flips passing, I
found it necessary to, instead, remember the one man who had,
in two separate eras, injected
hope into the hearts of Minnesota Timberwolves fans everywhere.
Although I was never fortunate enough to say I knew Flip
Saunders, I was fortunate
enough to have met him and
shook his hand. While reflecting
today, my first thoughts brought
me back to just over two years
ago and Flips second stint with
the Minnesota Timberwolves.
He had just been named the
President of Basketball Operations for the Wolves and Minneapolis was buzzing, excited to
have him back, running the
show. While one of my closest
friends was a Wolves season

ticket holder, he also lived four
hours away from Minneapolis,
and thus was unable to attend
some special events that came
with being a season ticket holder.
So, thanks to his generosity, my
wife (whos also a huge Wolves
fan) and I were attending a social
event, where the Wolves would
introduce Flip and he would do
some Q&A. As the social hour
wrapped up and the crowd prepared for Q&A, my wife
grabbed a prime seat near the
podium Flip would speak at,
while I grabbed us a drink. On
my way back from the bar, I ran
into my friends ticket rep, so we
chatted for five or ten minutes.
Meanwhile, my wife was enjoying a moment she wouldnt soon
forget. I finally made my way
back to our seats to find her full
of glee. Still taken aback at what
had just transpired, she explained that, as he approached
the podium, Flip had shot her a
huge smile and even began making funny faces at her. Of course,
I was quite stunned to hear this
news, disappointed to have
missed the spectacle. However,
things began to become clearer
in the moments following their
interaction. My wife soon discovered that she was actually sitting right next to the entire
Saunders family and Flip had not
been making funny faces at her,
but rather had been making the
faces at his twin daughters. We

had a nice, long laugh and then
enjoyed the rest of the evening.
While I listened to Flip answer
questions from the audience, I
listened to a man who could not
have been more honest with his
answers or sounded more humble when he spoke. You wanted
to listen because you trusted him
and you believed in what he had
to say. After the questions, we
were able to get a picture with
Flip. I told him that we (Minnesotans) were very thankful to
have him back with the Wolves
and excited for what the future
would hold. Flip said he appreciated the kind words and
thanked us for coming. I never
imagined the future I was so excited about, just two short years
ago, would end like this.
In 1995, Flip (and his former
Gophers teammate, Kevin
McHale) began to turn around a
young, struggling Timberwolves
franchise that had never won
even 30 games in a season. Hired
as the general manager, Flip took
over head coaching duties 20
games into the 1996 season and
would lead the Wolves to eight
consecutive playoff appearances,
from 1997 to 2004. He was let
go 51 games into the 2005 campaign, which is, to this day, still
the Wolves last winning season.
While many are familiar with
Flips success in the NBA, others
may be just as unfamiliar with
the route he took to get there.
With six different stops over 18
years, his coaching career began
in 1977 when he accepted the
head coaching position at
Golden Valley Lutheran College.
After four very successful sea-
The Maple Lake
sons there, he jumped to DI, becoming an assistant at the University of Minnesota. Five
seasons with the Gophers and he
was off to his final collegiate
stop as an assistant at the University of Tulsa. Next it was on to
the CBA, where Flip really made
a name for himself. Over seven
seasons, he was a head coach,
general manager and team president (mostly all at the same
time) and had landed with the
Rapid City Thrillers, La Crosse
Catbirds, and Sioux Falls Skyforce. During his stint in the
CBA, Saunders would win 30 or
more games every season, he
won two CBA championships,
two CBA Coach of the Year
awards, and finished second on
the all-time wins list.
In Flips first stint with the
Wolves, he compiled a record of
411-326, a .558 winning percentage, he made eight consecutive
playoff appearances, including a
trip to the Western Conference
Finals in 2004. In the history of
the Minnesota Timberwolves, all
head coaches not named Flip
Saunders have combined to post
a 391-874 record, a winning percentage of just .309, not one has
a winning record, not one has led
the Wolves to a winning season,
let alone a playoff berth, and not
one has come close to putting his
mark on the franchise the way
Flip Saunders did for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Flip,
thank you for all you did, not
only for the Timberwolves and
the basketball world, but also for
our community. You will be
greatly missed.
