Irish are fourth at state baseball tourney Tim Tungseth: Ready to

take the AD reins
By Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Irish baseball team made

a run at the title in its first state
tournament appearance in high
school history, fell short, but still
came home with a fourth-place
trophy.
Irish ballplayers were on a sixgame winning streak when they
beat Proctor 1-0 in the first game
of the state tournament, Thursday,
June 16, at Dick Putz Field in St.
Cloud, which put them up against
the No. 1 seed, Belle Plaine.
Belle Plaine was 23-1 going
into state. Jack Seibert opened up
with his second home run of the
tournament, Friday, June 17, igniting the Irish offense to take a
4-0 lead by the bottom of the third
inning. The championship game
at Target Field was in the Irishs
grasp. Thats when it slipped
through their fingers with a 6-4
loss.

said. They put up four runs in
the top of the fifth. That ended up
being enough.
The Irish went into the third
place game against Pierz late that
night after a delay due to weather.

Despite a somewhat depleted

pitching staff, the Irish ballplayers had put the Belle Plaine loss
behind them and were eager to
take on the Pioneers who the Irish
split with earlier in the season and
shared the Central Minnesota

Conference title with.
It wasnt to be as the Pioneers
pulled off an 11-4 win.

Thinking back on my fishing trip to Lake of the Woods
I neglected to mention my
brothers latest inventions, a
vertical fishing rod rack in the
back of his boat; and even
more important were the two
removable fish filleting tables,
also in the back of his boat.
They made filleting walleyes
for our shore lunches much
simpler than finding a flat rock
for a filleting board. Chucks
in-boat tables were suspended
on PVC pipes attached to floor
anchors with the opposite end
resting on the boat to give it
solid support. We both sat on
Mike Mullers 24-inch walleye the boats swivel seats to make
caught on Lake of the Woods. the chore comfortable and
something of a breeze compared to kneeling on a rock! He also wired in a 12-volt receptacle
so he could use his electric knife!

I finally got my boat in the water Saturday morning after missing
the season opener because of inclement weather and another postponement for a medical issue. Anyway, the word was to fish 9-14
feet for the sunnies so I put my spinning gear and bait in the boat
along with my fly rod just in case I wanted to check out the shallow
water. I tried some shallow spots that looked like they could be
spawning beds with my fly rod tipped with a black knat. We, Vanna
and myself, came up with 16 male sunfish off one spot before I lost
the only fly I had in the boat. You guessed it, Ineglected to bring
my assortment of flies along in a special tackle box! I could have
kicked myself, but we had 16 to clean, enough for two meals. It may
be that time in my life to establish a check list for fishing!

Daryl Hennen, his son, Adam, Jim Goelz, Tim Risbrudt, Rick
Benson, and Dave Goelz made their annual fly-in fishing trip to Ontario last week and came back with great fishing. In fact, it was so
good Jim said they pinched back the barbs on their hooks the final
two days to make catch and release easier. He had several beat up
fingers to make his point! He also commented they wore all their
cold weather gear the first two days and after that the weather was
great, no rain. Adam Hennen was a newcomer this year and was
amazed at the size and aggressiveness of the Walleyes. He also had
The Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
In an attempt to increase selfawareness and achieve physical
health, Wife and I decided to attend a senior class in yoga. Neither of us is interested in getting
into strange positions like putting
one's leg behind one's neck, but
the last exercise class tired us
both to a point where mere adult
beverages and chocolate were
only partially effective. Our instructor, Lizzie Bordennot really, she's actually quite
nicetold us she held a class before lunch. Since our regular
class met after lunch, we could
make a day of it and exercise our
buns off. Or, as an option, we

could go to the yoga class and
skip exercise. She loves to give
us options, like sitting down if we
start bleeding from the ears or
break a bone.
Yoga class seemed nice. We
got a little rubber rug to put our
chair and feet on, and soft music
was playing. Lizzie kept the volume low. We had our water bottles handy. She used English
instead of Farsi or some other Indian dialect. We were told we
wouldn't have to get down on the
floor, as many of us wouldn't be
able to get up again, and the
the groups largest Northern, a 41-incher. Daryl said he thinks Adam

is hooked on Canadian fishing! The trip wasnt without incident and
while back-trolling Daryl hit an obstruction and jammed the 4-stroke
outboards transmission which left them without any power and
about 2 miles from camp with only a canoe paddle. Their fishing
camp has boats with motors in several spots on the lake for customers to use on portages to other lakes, and the Hennens found one
with a 2-cycle outboard, but not enough fuel to get them very far.
Daryl commented Tom Blizil told him a 2-cycle engine can be run
on plain gas, rather than a gas-oil mixture, if it isnt run too fast or
gets hot. So they transferred the 2-cycle engine to their boat and took
the 4-stroke back to camp. Were thinking about walkie-talkies for
next year, he said. He almost came home without one of his favorite
fishing poles when they were casting for walleyes. It was dumb, he
said, when he left his spare rod pretty much upright and he hooked
an eye on his back-cast and threw the rod right into the lake. They
used treble hooks, etc. to try to locate the rod by dragging the bottom
without much luck. Adam added some weights to one of his lures
and in the process had a Walleye bite on the makeshift outfit. They
were about to give up on finding the rod when they had a giant stroke
of luck and hooked it in one of the rods eyes to save the day. . .
Another ML angler, Ed Trager, was supposed to be in Canada fishing
with his brothers, but he elected to cheer on the Irish baseball team,
and his son, Cole, who were playing in the State Tournament, the
first in the schools history. The Irish defeated Proctor 1-0 on Jack
Seiberts home run, but ran into a buzz saw in their next game with
Belle Plaine, which they lost 6-4. They ended up in fourth place, losing to Pierz in a rain-postponed game. . . Also on the baseball
front, the Maple Lake Lakers will be hosting the 2019 State Amateur
Baseball Tournament. There will be plenty of opportunities for volunteers to lend a hand, both in the years leading up to the event as
well as the tournament itself, which runs from the middle of August
ending on Labor Day.

crawl to the elevator is too long
for artificial knees and hips.
One of our first moves involved something called High
Mountain, requiring us to raise
our arms as high as we could,
then bring them down to the side
while breathing in and out. I often
breathe in and out, but seldom
with my arms high in the air. In
fact, my arms no longer go high
in the air, which is one reason I
go to exercise class. There's always hope.
We did high mountain about
36 times in the first quarter hour.
Sometimes it was combined with
turning the head to one side or the
other and trying to put an ear on
the shoulder. Having six screws
and a metal plate in my neck does
hinder my flexibility, but I tried.
Much to my surprise, none of the
screws came loose and my head
remained attached to my neck.
A lot of twisting and turning

took place. We stuck our arms out
and twisted our bodies. We sat
down and assumed ridiculous positions, trying to put one or the
other shoulder between our
knees. We stuck out our feet and
reached for our toes. We pointed
alternately at the back of the
room and the corners with our
arms sticking out like scarecrows. We never stopped for an
hour. Nothing overly strenuous,
but all of it squeezing our bodies
in ways they haven't been
squeezed since we fell water skiing many many many years ago.
As we stumbled numbly out
of the room after class, we took
one of those options. Want to go
find lunch, or should we go to exercise class? I asked Wife,
knowing the answer.
Lunch was good. So was the
nap afterward.

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: Isn't it a state law
that trucks that haul loose loads
such as gravel and granite
pieces must have their loads
covered? I have lived at my current address for 40 years now
and I have seen very few of
these kinds of loads covered.
With the winds that we have,
combined with the fast rate of
speed these trucks travel, it
makes for a very dangerous condition to walkers and drivers
along and on a highway.
Answer: Yes, no vehicle
shall be moved on a roadway,
unless the load is securely covered to prevent any leaking,
blowing, shifting or dropping.
There are some exceptions to
trucks placing sand or salt on
the roadway for traction, or,
farmers from losing grains, and
such, in small amounts, that
would not cause damage to the
roadway or vehicle. The Minnesota State Statute that covers
this is 169.81 Subd. 5.
If you encounter a vehicle
that has an unsecured load, attempt to get a license plate number, description of the vehicle,
and call law enforcement. We
will do our best to get that vehicle stopped and inspected.
When traveling behind a vehicle with an unsecure load,
give yourself plenty of room behind the vehicle to avoid any
obstacles that may fall from the
unsecure load. If possible, go
around or pass the vehicle with
the unsecure load when it is safe
to do so.
A portion of state statutes
was used with permission from
the Office of the Revisor of
Statutes. If you have any questions concerning traffic related
laws or issues in Minnesota,
send your questions to Trp.

Enforcement:
Thousands of motorists cited for
not buckling up
While most Minnesotans understand that seat belts and child
restraints save lives, thousands of
drivers were cited for not buckling up during the Click It or
Ticket extra enforcement campaign from May 23 June 5.
Law enforcement handed out
7,233 seat belt and 213 child restraint citations to those who risk
losing their own lives or others
in the car. Among the violations,
a 4-year-old riding on his
mothers lap and helping steer
the vehicle.
More than 300 law enforcement agencies participated in the
annual extra enforcement effort.
Here is the online list of seat belt
citations by participating agency.
The campaign is coordinated by
the Minnesota Department of
Public Safety Office of Traffic
Safety.
Citation Results
While the 2016 numbers are
about the same as last years,
long-term trends show positive
direction in seat belt compliance.
The 2015 Minnesota Seat Belt
Survey shows 94 percent compliance for front seat occupants.
Click It or Ticket Citations
May 2013 2016:
2016: 7,233 seat belt citations, plus 213 child restraint citations
2015: 7,393 seat belt citations, plus 175 child restraint citations.
Wearing a seat belt is just
common sense and its the law,
and thankfully, most Minnesotans get it, said Donna

Berger, Office of Traffic Safety
director. For those who say
theyre not hurting others by not
buckling up, its an excuse, and
its not true. It does hurt others
when youre no longer in their
lives because of a fatal crash.
Join the crowd and make the
right choice to increase your
chance to live.
Take Three Seconds
to Stay Alive
Taking three seconds to
buckle up will increase the likelihood of surviving a crash and
reducing serious injuries. Unbelted motorists are often ejected
from the vehicle, and airbags are
not a replacement for seat belts
in preventing injuries.
In 2015, 77 percent of vehicle occupants who died after
being ejected or partially ejected
were not wearing a seat belt.
In 2015 in Minnesota,
airbags deployed a reported
18,152 times when the occupant
was also buckled up. Fifty-six
percent of these cases resulted in
no apparent injury.
In comparison, only 34 percent of the 808 cases where
airbags deployed and occupants
were not wearing seat belts resulted in no apparent injury.
Minnesota Child Car Seat
Law
In Minnesota, all children
must be in a child restraint until
they are 49 tall, or at least age
8, whichever comes first.
Rear-facing child seats Newborns to at least 1 year and
20 pounds.

Deficit spending prompts referendum plans

by Katie Friedman
Correspondent
At its most recent meeting,

Monday, June 13, the Maple
Lake School Board discussed the
option of putting an operating
referendum and capital projects
levy to the districts voters on
November 8.
As more than $400,000 in
over-spending is anticipated in
the coming year, Redemske said
the finance committee is again
considering an operating referendum amount in the neighborhood
of $500,000, adding that he
could gather specific numbers
and write up a resolution for the
July meeting if that amount met
with the boards approval. Such
a request would make for an increase of approximately $530
per pupil unit. A capital projects
levy is also under consideration
again, mainly in the interest of
keeping pace with technology,
which Redemske said is almost
impossible, financially, to keep
up with right now. That request
would add around $100 more per
pupil unit.
Redemske told the board that
one of the biggest problems the
district faces in making referendum requests to the community
is in explaining that a $630 increase in the per pupil unit
amount does not correlate to a
$630 increase in a households

taxes.
Thats not the case unless
you have an enormous house a
very, very expensive house, he
said. It would be significantly
less than that.
Board Chair Arnie Michalicek sought clarification that the
district has for the past few years
been running approximately
$500,000 over budget. Redemske said it was slightly less
than that, but even so, the
schools have been lacking in
several areas, such as high
school physics and elementary
art.
Weve wrung out every
penny we can really wring out,
Redemske said. And weve
been spending down our fund
balance and thats why we built
it, when the time was good, to
use it in times like this. Why are
we deficit spending? Because
theres nothing left to wring out.
I mean, if were going to provide
a good education for kids, its
going to cost some money. And
we can say, Well, next time we
negotiate we cant have any
raises. But look, weve got to
pay people what everybody else
is paying them, or were going to
get people everyone else doesnt
want.
Redemske said the district has
been fortunate to be staffed with

some very excellent people who
have contributed greatly to student success in both curricular
and extracurricular endeavors.
And the community hasnt really
been feeling the bite, he explained, because the district has
been spending down its fund balance to cover any gaps between
budget and spending.
But sooner or later, its going
to be gone, he said, adding that
if everything plays out the way it
appears to be heading, the districts General Fund balance will
fall under its policy balance
threshold of six weeks operating
expenses after the 2016-2017
school year. That threshold
comes at about $1 million, which
led Boardmember Rick Thomas
to note that with further contract
negotiations on next years
schedule, a $500,000 budget increase might not even stop the
bleeding. Redemske agreed that
the referendum would not bring
in money for getting ahead, but
would allow the district to maintain its current expenses.
Michalicek said the only way
to get ahead of the budget is to
get more students. Redemske
pointed out that a small savings
would occur as more highly paid
teachers and administrators retire
in the next few years. They will
be replaced with younger people

at a lower pay scale. But that savings does not negate the list of
obstacles the district faces, which
include a decline in enrollment,
a failure by state government to
keep funding in pace with inflation, and unfunded special education mandates that cost the
district as much as $600,000
each year.
Further discussion involved
the delicate balance between informing the taxpayers and oversaturating them with too much
information. To that end, the district will meet with active parents
and community members to
brainstorm ideas for convincing
their neighbors and friends to
pass the levy in November.
Were trying to figure out
ways to get accurate information
out, said Redemske. What really hasnt happened is, people
havent really felt the pain, because weve been able to utilize
our fund balance that rainy day
fund to cushion some of that.
But thats going to come to an
end, and we do really run into a
brick wall at that point. Thats
what this would do: It would
eliminate that collision with the
brick wall at the end of that fund
balance.

Nyquist installs benches at Ney Park for Eagle Project

Kenny Nyquist led a group of
18 volunteers on May 21st to install four benches at Robert Ney
Park, north of Maple Lake, for
his Eagle Project.
For this service project
Nyquist led two groups of volunteers. The first group dug out
the frame, placed and braced the
benches. The second group
mixed and poured the cement.
One of the benches will be
dedicated to longtime Maple
Lake resident, Don Weismann.
Weismann was a member of the
first Boy Scout troop in Maple
Lake. A formal dedication ceremony will held in July. Nyquist
is looking forward to completing
his Eagle Scout rank later this
summer.

Meet the new staff member at Camp Courage

First-time counselor, Evan
Cerven, has joined the Camp
Courage staff this summer to
step outside of his comfort zone.
Although this is his first year
at camp, he is quickly learning
how to adapt to his new environment. Ive never really done
anything like this, Cerven said.
He explained that he has
never really interacted much
with people who have disabilities, so this is a completely new
setting. He found True Friends
through a recruiter that was visiting Truman State University in
Kirksville, MO, where he attends college. He loved the idea
of camp and really wanted to try
something new. I really wanted
to hop on the opportunity, so I

did. Working at camp will give
him the experience he needs for
his future career as a physical
education teacher. I want to be
able to work with every kid that
comes into my classroom, said
Cerven.
One of the things he likes
most about True Friends is that
they are changing campers
lives. We give them such a variety of activities, we can say yes
to whatever they want to do, he
explained.
Although he is new to camp,
he is no stranger to a busy schedule. He has been involved in
several clubs and organizations,
both in high school and college.
His experiences in football and

other extra curriculars have
taught him to think on his feet.
Ive learned that you always
have to have a plan B, be adaptable, and that things arent always going to go the way you
think they are.
Cerven is a great addition to
the staff and they are excited to
see him grow throughout his
time at camp.
Other camp locations include
Camp Friendship near Annandale, Camp Eden Wood in Eden
Prairie, and Camp Courage
North near Lake George. For

County prepared to move quickly on new courts building

by John Holler
Correspondent
For more than a decade

Wright County has been receiving complaints from the courts
area that the facilities in the
county courthouse are substandard and in dire need of upgrading. At the June 14 meeting of
the Wright County Board of
Commissioners, it was decided
that the process is going to get
sped up.
For the last several months,
the county has explored the
funding options, all of which
eventually would have the
courts moving out to the Law
Enforcement Center. The only
difference would be the timeline
for the move anywhere from
2-3 years to 10 years with interim costs being from $1.5 million to as much as $20 million.
County Coordinator Lee Kelly
told the board that, based on the
amount of information received,

it is time to take action one way
or another to get the process
moving forward.
I think it was the consensus
of those that were present that it
doesnt appear to be financially
prudent or fiscally smart to try
and expand at this current location, Kelly said. My recommendation is that I would like to
see some closure. If the board
feels that it has seen enough information, which I feel that we
have, I think it would go to take
further action based on the findings.
The question turned from not
if the move will take place, but
when will it happen? Judge
Catherine McPherson spoke to
the board saying that, from the
perspective of the judges and
the court services employees,
the sooner the ball can get
rolling on the project the better
because the current facilities are

cramped, technologically challenged and woefully antiquated.
It is not the intention of the
courts that, if were going to be
in this building for a very short
period of time, we would not
support spending $1.5 million
(on renovations), McPherson
said. There are some immediate needs. We can look at some
options, some of which may be
very low cost. But right now, we
do have staffing issues where
individuals who need to be in
the courtroom and working on
our mass calendars dont have a
place to sit, they dont have a
computer to use, and we have
no place to put them. We do
need to resolve that issue, but
we need to know what timeframe were talking about before we dive into that.
The board discussed several
issues involving the upgrades
needed and timeline required.

Among those issues were coming to a consensus on when to
do the construction the sentiment among the commissioners
was a three-year process that
would have occupancy of the
new facility sometime in 2019
as well as how to bond for the
cost of the building, which
could be anywhere from $30-50
million.
While there are still a lot of
hurdles that need to be crossed
before the project can officially
get underway, the clear implication for those at the June 14
meeting is that the clock has officially started ticking down to
when the county courthouse in
downtown Buffalo will no
longer serve the function of
housing the county courts.

CLASSIC RIVER
COBBLER
By Bob Zimmerman
A seven-day white water rafting trip on Idaho's Salmon River,
also known as the River of No
Return, taught us that running
big rapids is thrilling, and that
Dutch oven cooking is a great
way to make dessert. Our riverwise friends unpacked the
Dutchie at our first night's campsite and fired up the charcoal.
They created a delicious cobbler
in less than an hour, and it was
then that I decided to buy my own
Dutch oven as soon as we got
back to civilization. My wife and
I have made variations of the
basic recipe for many potluck
picnic dinners and when camping. One of our favorites is
chocolate cherry, but any combination of cake mix and pie filling
can be used. Bob Zimmerman
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie
filling
1 devil's food cake mix
1 (2.25 oz.) pkg. sliced
almonds (optional)
5 tbls. butter
1 (12 oz.) can of regular
7 Up (not diet)
DIRECTIONS:
Light 20 Kingsford charcoal
briquettes (regular, not Match
Light.) Lightly grease a 12"
Dutch oven and add pie filling.
Sprinkle sliced almonds over the
pie filling. Add dry cake mix
evenly over pie filling and dot
with butter. Pour 7-Up over the
cake mix and cover with lid. Do
NOT mix the ingredients together in the Dutch oven. When
briquettes are hot, use a set of
tongs to spread 5 briquettes on a
hard surface and place the Dutch
Oven on the briquettes. Spread
the remaining 15 briquettes
evenly on the lid. Rotate the
Dutch oven lid a quarter turn
after 15 minutes and again after
30 minutes, then remove the briquettes after 45 minutes of cooking time.
Note: 20 briquettes create an
oven temperature of about 350
degrees. Hint: Baking at 350 F.
in a regular oven and using a 12"
baking dish works as well as
using a Dutch oven.
DUTCH OVEN CHICKEN

POT PIE
By Mason Kadler, grade 6
I like this recipe because my
family and grandparents made it
up and planned it out of the air
all by ourselves, and we ended
up loving it.
INGREDIENTS:
1 (20 oz.) jar of chicken
gravy
1 (16 oz.) can of cream of
chicken soup
2 cups mixed vegetables
3-4 chicken breasts
1 double crust pie crust
DIRECTIONS:
Put chicken breasts in a crock
pot with a little water and garlic
salt on low for 8-10 hours. Cut
into cubes. Throw in the rest of
the ingredients during the last 45
minutes. Place the bottom crust

in your Dutch oven and then pour
most of the hot filling on top until
it looks plump. Put top crust on
filling and make sure to poke
holes in top crust to release steam
like a volcano. Light the fire on
about 20 coals and when they
turn white dump them on the top
of the oven. Have 5 or 6 coals
under it. Heat for 1 hour, turning
top part (lid) every 15 minutes.
Hint: No pie crust handy, pour
hot chicken mixture into your
Dutch oven. Arrange one (10 oz.
can) of baking powder biscuits
over chicken mixture Put lid on
the Dutch oven and carefully
arrange some hot coals on top of
the lid. Heat until the biscuits are
cooked through, apx. 15 to 30
minutes.
AMYS BAKED BEANS

By Amy Burg
And what would a camp-side
meal be without baked beans?
Heres Amys family favorite
baked bean recipe to complete it
for us.
INGREDIENTS:
2 (31 oz.) cans beans
4 tbsp. catsup
cup brown sugar
cup chopped onion

5 tbsp. molasses
5 strips bacon
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix together all the ingredients except
for the bacon. Lay bacon on top
and bake for 2-3 hours. Hint: I
like to fry the bacon and add it
right into the bean mixture before
baking.
MARSHMALLOW
CARAMEL BALLS
By Ruth Rigenhagen
We all know Smores are a
popular camping treat. However,
Ruth Rigenhagen put together a
batch of her marshmallow
caramel balls which turned out
to be just as big of a hit at the
outing we attended last weekend.
Easy, convenient, and fun to eat.
1/3 cup butter

1 bag large marshmallows
(frozen)
Rice Krispies or nuts
DIRECTIONS:
Freeze
marshmallows
overnight. Put caramels, butter,
and sweetened condensed milk
into a double boiler or saucepan
and cook on low heat, stirring
constantly until melted together.
While warm dip frozen marshmallows into the mixture, then
immediately roll in Rice Krispies
or nuts. Let them cool on wax
paper.
INGREDIENTS:
1 (50 ct.) bag of caramels
1 (12 oz. can) sweetened
condensed milk

in rivers, four in swimming

pools, two in bathtubs, two in
ponds, two in sloughs, one in a
creek, one in a drainage ditch,
one in a water feature in a yard,
and one in a wash basin. Another 18 people died in boating
related accidents.
Here are some reminders to
check out before you hit the
water this summer.
1. Children need your UNDIVIDED attention when they are
in or near the water. This includes the bathtub, small wading

pools, or ornamental fish ponds.
Empty all tubs, buckets, wash
basins, coolers and wading
pools immediately after use.
Store them upside down and out
of children's reach.
We know what a distraction
our phones can be, but so can a
good book or a large family
gathering at the lake. When
there are several adults present
and children are swimming,

consider using the Water
Watcher card strategy, which
designates an adult as the
Water Watcher for a certain
amount of time (such as 15minute periods) to prevent
lapses in supervision. You can
download
this
card
at
www.safekids.org and put it on
a lanyard.

(ages 1-18) this summer at Discovery Elementary, thanks to a
special Summer Food Service
Program funded by the federal
government (U.S. Department
of AgricultureUSDA). This is
the second year for the program
in Buffalo, with the goal being
to make sure all youth in the
community have access to nutritious meals while school is out
for the summer.
Meals will be served Monday

August 26, 2016. Breakfast will
be served 8:45-9:30 a.m. and

lunch from 12-1 p.m. in the Discovery Elementary cafeteria located at 301 Second Avenue NE,

Participation in the meal program is not based on income,
therefore families will not be
asked to fill out any paperwork
and no names will be taken.
Meals include both hot and cold
entrees and will be served on a
first come/first served basis.
The food service staff will do
their best to have a meal for all
children who attend.
For the safety of all children,
the district requests that a re-
sponsible adult, or older child,

bring the younger children to the
cafeteria, stay with them for supervision, and escort them back
out of the school building when
they are finished eating. Shoes
and shirt will be required.

The Maple Lake Irish baseball team with coaches pose for a group photo with their fourth-place State trophy.

Were very happy with

fourth, Marquardt said. The
kids already have the CMC trophy, the section trophy and now
they get to add a fourth-place trophy into the mix. The players and
the coaches, I couldnt be more
proud of them.
Hunter Malachek led the
charge against Proctor in that first
game of the tournament. He
struck out four in the shut-out and
allowed no runners to cross the
plate on two hits.
We were very confident, especially with the way Hunter was
pitching, Marquardt said. Only
two balls made it to the outfield.
That is pretty impressive.
Seibert put the only run across
the plate that afternoon with a
home run in the bottom of the
sixth inning. It turned out that
was all the Irish needed to grab
the win.
To go into the semis with
Grant going and ready, we all
thought we were sitting pretty
good, Marquardt said. But
again, we knew we were going
up against the top team.
Seibert had the Irish crowd on
its feet when he blasted a home
run that cleared the scoreboard in
the first inning, plating Blake
Wellsted to put the first run on the
board and give Maple Lake a 1-0
lead. By the end of the first the
Irish were up 2-0 over Belle
Plaine. Maple Lake made it 4-0
in the bottom of the third. That
was the turning point.
According to Marquardt, Mergen had been pitching with his
foot in front of the rubber
throughout the season. It was a
stance okayed by other umpires,
but that day at state, he was asked
to change it up, and that changed
everything.
Belle Plaine snuck in one runner in the top of the fourth, then
four in the top of the fifth and one
more in the top of the sixth. Mer-

gen pitched for 4 1/3 innings,
walked five, struck out seven and
allowed five runs.
I told the guys they were the
No. 1 team for a reason, and we
gave them a heck of a run . . . we
just had one bad inning. That is
the way it goes sometimes, Marquardt said.
A line of storms rolled
through St. Cloud at that point,
delaying the third-place game
scheduled for 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
The teams were given the option
of waiting until Saturday, June
18, to finish, but both decided to
play on.
I think the advantage of not
playing until later was we were
over (the Belle Plaine loss) and
ready to play for third place,
Marquardt said.
The Irish started Nick
Preisinger who already threw 20
to 30 pitches as the relief in the
Belle Plaine game.
Once a pitcher gets to the 80
pitch mark he gets tired and it
showed, Marquardt said.
Coaches brought in Blake
Wellsted to replace Preisinger
then freshman Mitch Hoistad.
After three games in two
days you get down in pitching
staff a bit, Marquardt said. That,
combined with some good hitters

on the Pierz team, decided the
outcome of the game.
Pierz struck first with a run in
the bottom of the first that the
Irish answered in the top of the
third when Wellsted hit a home
run.
The Pioneers increased its
lead with two in the bottom of the
fourth and six in the bottom of
the fifth.
The Irish were able to close its
deficit to 9-4 with three runs in
the top of the sixth off an RBI
single by Preisinger, a wild pitch
and a fielders choice.
Pierz pushed two more runners across the plate in the bottom of the sixth. The Irish had no
answer in the top of the seventh.
The Irish went into the state
tournament with the intention of
making a run for the title, confident they could compete with
anyone out there.
The Maple Lake team didnt
quite pull it off, but they put
Maple Lake on the map and got
a lot of people excited about high
school baseball again, Marquardt
said.
I just think it was a great experience for the kids. If I could
give every kid a chance to play in

Water Safety
2. Formal swimming lessons
can reduce the risk of drowning
by as much as 88% among young
children 1 to 4 years of age. 3. Do
not allow anyone, of any age, to
swim without supervision. 4.
Learn CPR. CPR performed by
bystanders has been shown to
save lives and improve outcomes
in drowning victims. The more
quickly CPR is started, the better
the chance of improved outcomes. 5. Wear a lifejacket. Potentially, half of all boating deaths
might be prevented with the use
of a Coast Guard-approved life
jacket. (Of the 18 boating related
fatalities last year, only 2 were
wearing a lifejacket.) 6. Air-filled
or foam toys are not safety devices. Dont use "water wings",
"noodles", or inner-tubes, instead

Tungseth earned his masters degree in athletic administration at
Gonzaga University in Spokane,
Washington. That qualification
brought him further opportunities in his home state, to which
he returned and has remained
ever since.
I had a good experience
working at Crosby-Ironton, he
said. I enjoy working with high
school athletics, and Im excited
for the new opportunity at Maple
Lake. Im excited to be involved
with the school and this community.
He also looks forward to
joining the districts teaching
staff as an instructor of American history at the seventh- grade
level.
In his spare time, Tungseth
enjoys traveling, music, spending time outdoors, and watching
and attending professional sport-
ing events.
Currently in the process of relocating, he said he looks forward to assuming his new
position July 1, when his first
priorities will be getting ready
for the fall season while getting
to know his coworkers and the

In other items on the June 14
agenda, the board:
* Was presented with the highway departments five-year construction plan. The five-year plan
is a fluid document that isnt set in
stone, but effectively lays out the
projects that will be funded for the
coming year or two and other
projects that are seen as priorities
on the horizon over years 3-5 of
the plan. In the current plan, the
county plans to conduct 28 miles
of pavement preservation projects

of life jackets. These are not designed to keep swimmers safe. 7.

Avoid alcohol. Avoid drinking alcohol before or during swimming, boating, or water skiing.
Do not drink alcohol while supervising children. If you wouldnt
drive a car, you shouldnt be driving a boat either.
8. Know the terrain. Be aware
of and avoid drop-offs and hidden obstacles in lakes. Always
enter water feet first. 9. Know the
local weather conditions and
forecast before swimming or
boating. Strong winds and thunderstorms with lightning strikes
are dangerous. 10. Take a course.
More than 7 out of every 10 boating incidents are caused by operator error. Boating education
courses teach the rules for safe
operation and navigation of

recreational boats, and can help
boat operators keep their passengers
safe.
(www.boated.com/minnesota) 11. Know
what to look for. When someone
is drowning, its generally not the
dramatic waving of arms and
yelling for help you see in the
movies. It is usually subtle and
quiet. Look for: Head tilted
back with mouth open Eyes
glassy and empty, unable to focus
Eyes closed Hair over forehead or eyes Not using legs
vertical Hyperventilating or
gasping Trying to swim in a
particular direction but not making headway Trying to roll over
on the back Appear to be
climbing an invisible ladder 12.
If a child does have a close call in
the water, remain vigilant for 24

hours. Even if your child seems
to have coughed up any excess
water and is happy and playful
with no symptoms, they could be
at risk for something called secondary or dry drowning. Call
911 if your child begins to exhibit
any respiratory symptoms or unusual behavior.
Before you hit the water keep
these safety tips in mind so you
can have the summer of your
dreams not your nightmares. For

The Maple Lake Lakers

earned a North Star League split
last week, thanks in part to a
rain-out of their game in Dassel
on Friday. League standings
were not current at time of publishing but regardless of the results last week, the Lakers are in
the top-half of a very competitive NSL with some exciting
games coming up.
Maple Lake 13
Buffalo
3
The Lakers travelled to Buffalo on Wednesday night with
the memory of their loss to the
Bulldogs fresh in their minds.
Determined to make a statement,
Maple Lake started the game
with a four-run top of the first.
Lakers starter Jeremy Schmidt
got his team up to bat again
quickly, easily dispatching Bulldog batters as quickly as they
could get to the plate. In an allout assault led by Dusty Decker
and Donnie Mavencamp, the
Lakers went on to score in all of
the first five innings, running up
a 13-0 lead. It was in the fifth
when Schmidt, who had pitched
a complete game shut-out the
Friday before, started to struggle
slightly, ending his night with
five innings pitched, two hits,
two walks, and seven strikeouts.
Riley Decker came in relief in
the sixth and held the line, giving the visiting Lakers the win in
seven. Mavencamp chalked up
four RBIs on three hits while
Luke Fobbe and Brian Russell
each got their third double of the
year. The offense was efficient,
scoring their runs off 14 hits,
four walks, and two Buffalo errors, while the defense was
stout, committing only one error.
Maple Lake 1
Maple Plain 9
Ten Lakers travelled to face
off against nine Diamond Devils

Saturday in the sweltering afternoon heat. The breeze was the
only relief from the heat and the
bad luck Maple Lake faced in
their third North Star League
loss. Starter Bobby Fobbe got
the worst measure of bad luck in
the first inning as Maple Plain
put up six runs in the bottom of
the first and another two in the
second to take a commanding
lead. By most measures Fobbe
pitched well, eventually going
five and a third innings while allowing no walks and collecting
two strikeouts. Maple Plain simply followed the advice of baseball legend Willie Keeler and
hit em where they aint, much
to the frustration of Fobbe and
the Laker defense. Luke Fobbe
replaced Bobby and looked
good, giving up only one hit and
no walks while collecting two
strikeouts in three and two-thirds
innings of work.
At the plate the Lakers could
not get much going against
Maple Plains pitcher, whose velocity was so low it caused problems for batters. Maple Lake had
only two strikeouts all game but
the hard-hit balls seemed to go
right to Devils while the slow
speed produced a lot of weak
hits.
Graham Brown was able to
get things going in the eighth
with a double, followed immediately by a double from Derek
Rachel to get the Lakers on the
board, but it was too little, too
late.
Maple Lake will get a quick
shot at evening the series with
Maple Plain when they come to
town on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
The Lakers then travel to Loretto
for their Friday night game before hosting Coon Rapids at
home on Sunday starting at 2
p.m.

Regarding other matters on
the evenings agenda, the board:
Approved a resolution for
board-approved referendum authority in the amount of $300 per
adjusted pupil unit. Per recommendation of the Minnesota Department of Education, the
district approved a two-year
combination of voter-approved
and board-approved levy on August 11, 2014. The remaining
voter-approved operating levy
was $272.25 per adjusted pupil
unit and the board-approved portion was $27.75 per adjusted
pupil unit. As a voter-approved
operating levy is set to expire, it
was necessary to approve a $300
per adjusted pupil unit to cover
the loss of voter-approved revenue. This referendum authority
will be further adjusted based on
final pupil unit data. It is the intention of the board to create the
maximum authority for which it
is eligible, not to exceed $300 per
adjusted pupil unit. This will be
in place for five years and will require renewal in 2021.
Approved a resolution for
the Wright Technical Centers
(WCT) long-term facility maintenance (LTFM) budget, also authorizing the inclusion of a
proportionate share of the technical centers LTFM projects in its
long-term facility maintenance
revenue application. Minnesota
statutes now allow WTC to utilize long-term facility maintenance levy authority if its LTFM
budget is approved by the school
boards of each of the cooperatives member districts. The
WTC board approved the LTFM
budget for the 2017-2018 school
year in the amount of $150,000.
Based on a three-year assessment
average, Maple Lakes share is
$9,840. This is calculated from
the districts enrollment and the
number of its students attending
WTC classes.
Approved, by a 5-1 vote, an
additional component to the high
schools Practical Assessment
Exploration System (PAES) lab
at a cost of $3,600, which helps
to facilitate and explore different
job opportunities, options and
skills to special education students by providing a simulated
work environment. The new
component will center on technology skills. Existing units
focus on consumer/service and
construction/industrial skills.
Michalicek dissented, expressing
reservations over competing with
the Wright County Tech Center
Cooperative, in which the school
district has a major investment,
but which does not match the student capacity or cost-effectiveness of a more localized program.
Approved a one-year contract with Resource Training Solutions to provide training and
assistance with environmental
safety compliance at a cost of
$10,800.
Approved the districts
membership in the Minnesota
State High School League for
2016-2017. This allows Maple
Lake students to participate in
MSHSL activities and advance in
competitions.
Approved a resolution with
the MNSCU Board of Trustees
for the purpose of providing supervisory services to students
from St. Cloud University. This
five-year agreement will begin
on September 1, and is a renewal
of an agreement between St.
Cloud State University and the
district for the placement of student teachers in Maple Lake
schools.
Voted to renew the districts
membership in Schools for Equity in Education for the 2016-17
school year at a cost of
$2,132.81, an increase of $65.61.
Approved the following

policies, which are models received through the Minnesota
School Boards Association and
require occasional updating:
legal status of the school district;
equal educational opportunity;
public participation in school
board meetings; development,
adoption, and implementation of
policies; public and private personnel data; workload limits for
certain special education teachers; extended school year for certain students with individualized
education programs; bullying
prohibition; protection and privacy of pupil records; student sex
nondiscrimination; violence prevention; immunization requirements;
wellness;
and
transportation of non-public
school students.
Approved an advertisement
in the 2016-2017 Maple Lake
Messengers community guide at
a price of $622.
Approved advertisement of
upcoming school board elections.
Approved a resolution placing Beth Olson on unrequested
leave of absence for 0.2 full-time
equivalency (FTE) hours. This
past school year, Annandale had
purchased elementary art and
music time from Maple Lake, but
will not require it next year. As a
result, the district needs to finalize a 0.2 FTE reduction in art
time. This is the final step to reduce Olsons contract to 0.8 FTE.
Directed the district office to
pay all bills through the end of
fiscal year 2016, to be formally
approved by the Maple Lake
School Board at its July meeting.
The school districts fiscal year
closes at the end of June. So that
books can be closed and preparation begun for the annual financial audit, office personnel is
typically given permission to pay
bills through the end of June.
Reviewed the athletic director hiring process. Boardmember

Joe Mavencamp voiced concerns
that the planned process had been
abbreviated and that several committee members had been bypassed as a result. He found
unanimous agreement at the
table, with Michalicek stating
that in future similar situations,
the process must be adhered to.
Heard a report on the Alternative Delivery of Specialized
Instructional Services (ADSIS)
program as presented by high
school math teacher Amy Voigt.
At Maple Lake Elementary
School, a teacher and a paraprofessional work with students who
can benefit from a bit of extra
help but may not qualify for other
programming. Three teachers are
scheduled to provide coverage in
the high school program throughout the school day. This program
served 92 students over the past
school year, the majority in elementary grades. Voigt said that
the elementary program is well
run and organized, but that the
high school program continues to
need work, and she laid out plans
to improve and streamline the
programs at that level.
Accepted donations from
Target Corporation of $1,000 to
Maple Lake Elementary School
and $596.42 to Maple Lake High
School.
Approved a consent agenda
that included the resignation of
Catherine Luckemeyer as a
fourth grade teacher, an unpaid
medical leave of absence for Deb
Anderson as a cook, and the hiring of Susan Petersen-Stejskal as
a school nurse.
These actions were taken in
the absence of Boardmember
Ben Elsenpeter. The boards next
meeting will be Monday, July 11,
at 7 p.m.

MLHS 2014 grad to pass on her crown as Miss Teen of Minnesota

by Ashley Becker
Correspondent
On Friday, June 24th, I will

return to St. Cloud State University where three years ago I was
named Miss Teen of Minnesota
and where on Sunday afternoon,
I will crown my successor. The
past three years have changed
my life in unimaginable ways. I
have gotten to travel to places I
never thought Id see, meet people I never thought would soon
become my best friends, experience things I never thought Id
want to do, and grow in ways I
never thought I could.
During my time as Miss Teen
of Minnesota, I was able to
travel to multiple states spanning
as far as Pennsylvania and
Texas, and began my out of
country mission work in Haiti
and Bolivia. In each of the
places I traveled I met remarkable people who have since
turned into the family I chose for
myself. I now have a best friend
from Texas and a big sister I
never had from Georgia, not to
mention connections all over the
country. Alongside the amazing

people I met in each of my destinations, I was able to do unbelievable things. I participated in
the Torch Run for the Special
Olympic games and got to run
alongside local heroes consisting
of law enforcement officers and
Special Olympic athletes. With
the help of my community, I was
able to collect over 140 formal
gowns and over 330 pairs of
jeans for those who couldnt afford their own. I even had the
opportunity to hike the equivalent of some 2,000 steps to the
top of San Pedro Hill where I
stood at the feet of one of the
largest Christ statues in the
world, and looked out over
Cochabamba, Bolivia.
My reign as Miss Teen of
Minnesota didnt only bring me
amazing experiences and people
to share them with, but it also
brought me invaluable skills and
attributes that I likely wouldnt
possess otherwise. Because of
the interviews and on-stage appearances, I now carry myself
with confidence and know how
to speak both in front of crowds

and in private settings. On the
other hand, because of the general awareness tests and required
resumes, I learned how to properly represent myself on paper.
As a titleholder, I was given the
opportunity to staff other pageants and act as a role model to
the candidates vying for the title;
a role that helped me improve
my leadership skills immensely.
Perhaps more important than
anything else, though, my time
as Miss Teen of Minnesota has
taught me both pride and humility. I have been able to witness
people in extremely difficult situations and I have grown to appreciate my blessings in a way I
never did before seeing such
things, but Ive also been able to
witness some of the most amazing things and meet some of the
most amazing people, all of
which have made me unbelievably proud to wear my crown,
banner and medallion and represent them all.
Now that I have come to the
end of my reign, I look back at
Maple Lake native and Miss Teen of Minnesota 2013-15, Ashley Becker, along with the
Young Miss of Texas, Little Miss of Texas, Miss Teen of Texas and Miss Teen of America
at the 2015 Miss Teen of America, Southern Regional Pageant.

myself three years ago and I am
so thankful that I had an unrelenting support system who encouraged me to take the leap and
run for the title in the first place.
Without hesitation, I would recommend that anyone given the
opportunity to participate, take
Love INCThrift Store
Total Care Chiropractic

This is where health care is
going, to a more integrated system where you have all your
specialists in one spot, Davidson said. As a team, we can
each draw on our own expertise
and put a plan together that can
help our clients immensely.
The three have known each
other for years and have long
spoken of this kind of communal
effort.
Seidl started his own practice
on Birch Ave. in Maple Lake
five years ago with help from his
wife, Candace, daughter of
Wayne Paumen of Maple Lake.
Seidl is from Bird Island originally. Before that, he practiced at
the Chiropractic Health and
Wellness Center in Edina alongside the chiropractor used by the
Minnesota Vikings.
Jansen has been a massage
therapist for 15 years in Maple
Lake. She started out in the old
barber shop before moving into
a space at Shear Attitudes Salon
where she has been for the past
eight years.
Davidson lived all her life in
the Twin Cities where she taught
yoga until 2008 when she relocated to Maple Lake. She too
took up residence at Shear Attitudes where she started teaching
again in 2009.
We are all in the same field
of wellness, Davidson said.
About a year ago, Scott Chatland, owner of the old creamery,
approached Seidl about leasing
the space. Seidl said he wasnt
ready at that point, but when
Chatland asked a second time
after the owners of the antique
store left, he jumped at the opportunity. Soon the others were
on board and the remodeling
began.
The idea going into the project was to preserve as much of
the local history of the old
creamery as possible, Seidl said.
So while it needed a lot of work
- they basically gutted and re-

Were hoping it can bring in
income and be a blessing to the
community, Hermerding said.
So far the store has an inventory that includes everything
from clothing and baby gear to
furniture and toys.
We have a little bit of everything, she said.
More than 100 volunteers
strong, Love INC Big Woods,
which describes the territory it
covers of Maple Lake, Buffalo,
Hanover and Annandale, performs services such as providing
rides to medical appointments or
job interviews, performing moving services, offering items of
need, and giving out the occasional gas card.
We do most of our work over
the phone, Hermerding said.
We take calls and if they are in
our area, they have a need, and if
we can help, we help. If not, we
refer them to others like the Red
Cross, United Way, the Salvation
Army and some local agencies.
The intake over the phone
takes five or 10 minutes and we
always pray with them at the end
so they know where our strength
comes from. A lot of people say
they are blessed by that alone.
Some never had anyone pray
with them before, Hermerding
said.
Love INC is an international
organization with more than 150
affiliates in the United States,
plus one in Kenya.
The ministry started in 1973
with a pastor and a social worker
from Michigan who decided they
could do more for people in need
if they combined their efforts,
Hermerding said. Each affiliate is
represented by at least six different Christian denominations who
form a board of directors. The
Big Woods affiliate started in
2009 and has 19 churches on
board, including three from
Maple Lake. Currently their office is in Buffalo, but they plan
on moving it into the store in
Maple Lake soon.
Its a ministry that grows by
word of mouth,Hermerding
said.
Each affiliates district is kept
fairly small to reduce lengthy
drives for its volunteers since
providing rides to people without
cars or the ability to drive is one
of their more in-demand services.
Its amazing how many cars
break down, dont work or have
been repossessed, Hermerding
said. Or clients are older and
cant drive anymore and they
cant afford to always call a taxi.
We, of course, dont charge.
Another popular service Love
INC volunteers do is find clients
furniture and help move it into

their homes.
We may get a phone call
from someone saying they just
moved into a new apartment and
its empty, Hermerding said.
Love INC accepts furniture
donations so if it has, say a love
seat or a couch, its volunteers will
move it in for the person.
Love INC also has a lullaby
ministry that provides baby items
such as diapers and wipes to families in an emergency. The organization partners with the local
food shelves, the Salvation Army,
Adopt a Family Program, Rotary,
Coats for Kids, and other agencies and programs in an effort to
be more helpful to people in
need. Often Love INC receives
referrals as well from human
services, mental health services,
churches and school districts.
The Maple Lake store is the
Big Woods affiliates first attempt
in retail, but others have done it,
including Love INC Heartland
which includes Delano, Howard
Lake and a couple other communities in the southern part of
Wright County and parts of Hennepin County.
According to Hermerding, the
Heartland affiliate has two stores
in its district, one in Delano and
one in Howard Lake.
Weve been praying about
this for well over a year, Hermerding said. Then soon after
Christmas the owner of The Costume Shoppe in Maple Lake (Trisha Manuel) said she was
moving her store and asked if we
wanted to occupy the old space.
We said yes.
Volunteers started getting the
space ready in early March. Since
then donations have been flowing
in.
At the beginning you never
know how much youre going to
be getting. If someone asked, we
said sure. Now we have alot and
there is only so much space,
Hermerding said.
For that reason Love INC is
asking donors to call and make
an appointment before donating.
There is also a list on the front
door of the store that includes
items they still need. Store hours
will be from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
on Thursdays and from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. on Friday and Saturdays.
Proceeds will go right back
into the organization. They will
also provide store vouchers for
clients to purchase items they
need for free or at a very reduced
price, Hermerding said.
This is unchartered territory
for us. Were praying that we can
do this right, be a blessing to people and be honoring God.
built it - they managed to keep

some of its more interesting aspects still intact.
For instance, the original rail
where cows were hung back
when it was a meat locker still
runs along the length of the
buildings ceiling.
To add to the historic feel,
Chatland, who collects old light
fixtures, provided pieces from
his collection that would have
been commonly seen during the
era the meat locker and creamery thrived, Davidson added.
It is really artistically done,
she said.
The three plan on decorating
their new space with old pictures
they dug up of the creamery and
meat locker as well.
We take pride in being able
to keep some of that history,
Seidl said.
The new and improved Total
Care Chiropractic officially
started business from its new location last spring.
All three professionals have
their own space in the new
building where they each do
what they do best. For Jansen,
thats massage therapy. She specializes in hot stone massage,
ear candling, deep tissue massage, energy work and cupping.
Davidson uses the fitness
room in the rear of the building
to teach Yoga, Pilates and Thai
Yoga Bodywork.
My classes are geared toward all levels and I can modify
them so they are accessible to
everyone. I also teach private
lessons, Davidson said.
Thai Bodywork is assisted
yoga stretching for clients who
need to increase their range of
movement, flexibility and/or
mobility. Davidson works with
people suffering from Multiple
Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, and
arthritis. She will also work with
pregnant women.
There is also a weight lifting
center in the fitness room for
full advantage of it and know

that, no matter what, it will
change your life. To the community that helped shape me into
the young woman I am today,
thank you for always standing
behind me and always giving me
a place to call home. To my sup-
port system, and you all know

who you are, I love you more
than words can say and I am
eternally grateful to have all of
you in my life. To the head of my
support system, Mom, thank you
for always believing that I could;
its because of you that I did.
Tracy Jansen gives a massage at her new space in the old

creamery building. Together, Jansen, Seidl and Davidson

employees to keep in shape and
for Seidl to use to evaluate some
of his patients.
Seidl specializes in healing
injuries caused by automobile
accidents, sports injuries and
workplace injuries. He can also
help reverse the effects of injuries caused by repetitive motion, poor posture and poor
lifting habits.
It is really exciting, Jansen
said of her partnership with
Seidl and Davidson.
The best part, Seidl said, is
the access his clients now have
to alternative health care that
doesnt require a lengthy car ride
to see a specialist. They can just

walk down the hall.
Our goal is to work people
through their issue, to show
them how to do some self-care
and to give them tools to use so
they dont have to take another
pill to get rid of the pain,
Davidson said.
This Saturday, on June 25,
the trio will celebrate their partnership with an open house from
10 a.m. until 1 p.m. There will

Shear Attitudes
But there was one more issue
facing her and her business after
she found out she would not be
able to work her regular 10- to
12-hour shift four days a week
and that was to find someone
who could take over in a crunch
and run the business for her.
Munstenteiger had one person
in mind, which was Chelsey
Wurm-Lyons. At the age of 23,
Wurm-Lyons has had plenty of
experience as a licensed cosmetologist, graduating from the
Model College of Hair and Design and working in St. Cloud at
the Regis Salon and then in Buffalo at the Aveda Salon. Munstenteiger ended up sending a
text to Wurm-Lyons asking if
she wanted to take over the
business. "I threw it at her, do
you want to buy? It was on a
whim, but it worked out perfectly as Wurm-Lyons was excited about the news and eager
to take over the shop. It wasn't a
hard decision for her and she
said yes to taking over. "I feel

really good about it," Munstenteiger said. "I wasn't worried at
all. My business will be in good
hands."
Both women have known
each other for awhile, as Munstenteiger is good friends with
Wurm-Lyons' parents and surrounding people. She has
known Wurm-Lyons since she
was in high school and the two
have frequently seen each other
since then. Wurm-Lyons has
been very busy with life, since
she had just tied the knot with
Cory Lyons in June. "It's been a
lot, but it's been good," WurmLyons commented. Munstenteiger has been all smiles with
the new change and since she
has been working alone for
three years, she is excited to be
working with someone again.
Munstenteiger will be back to
work part-time in July after her
surgery is healed up and she can
be back on her feet. She will be

renting a chair from WurmLyons and she will start a couple

of days a week.
Both Munstenteiger and
Wurm-Lyons are very excited to
be working together and about
the change to the hair salon.
The salon will offer progressive
and classic looks from both hair
stylists and will have something

for everyone. The salon will be
introducing pedicures after the
things settle down a bit. If anyone would like to set up an appointment, they can call the
salon directly at (320) 9637052, or visit the shop at 27
Maple Ave N. in Maple Lake.

Challenge Results
Minnesota law enforcement
participated in the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administrations Border to Border
Challenge on May 23. The nationwide seat belt enforcement
effort included more than 20
states and focused on seat belt
violations from 6 10 p.m.
Agencies in Minnesota issued
tickets for 262 seat belt violations and 61 child restraint violations that evening. Nationally,
numbers show a higher percentage of people who died in

About the Minnesota
Department of Public Safety
The Minnesota Department
of Public Safety (DPS) comprises 11 divisions where 2,100
employees operate programs in
the areas of law enforcement,
crime victim assistance, traffic
safety, alcohol and gambling,
emergency communications,
fire safety, pipeline safety, driver
licensing, vehicle registration
and emergency management.
DPS activity is anchored by
three core principles: education,
enforcement and prevention.
About the Office of
Traffic Safety
The Minnesota Department
of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (DPS-OTS) designs,
implements and coordinates federally funded traffic safety enforcement
and
education
programs to improve driver behaviors and reduce the deaths
and serious injuries that occur

on Minnesota roads. DPS-OTS
also administers state funds for
the motorcycle safety program
and for the child seats for needy
families program.
DPS-OTS is an anchoring
partner of the states Toward
Zero Deaths (TZD) traffic safety
program. A primary vision of the
TZD program is to create a safe
driving culture in Minnesota in
which motorists support a goal
of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and
smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four
strategic areas to reduce crashes
education, enforcement, engineering, and emergency medical
and trauma response.
Recent DPS-OTS Activity
and Statistics
More than 30 Minnesota organizations in April joined the
Department of Public Safety and
statewide law enforcement in
calling for employees and all
drivers to choose safety over
texting and to eliminate distracted driving.
Police officers, sheriff
deputies and state patrol troopers participated in the April extra
enforcement distracted driving
campaign, handing out 972 citations to drivers for texting while
driving. Thats up from 909 citations during last years campaign.
