Greased
Landings
by Kent Peterson - N55623
Good boy, good boy! Uncle
Dick said through cigar-clenched
teeth. Six-year-old Greg Thomes
was pleased. He had been watching for other planes during his
first airplane ride, an exciting adventure with several cousins out
of the old St. Cloud airport, and
Greg had relayed the sighting of
a very distant airplane to his
uncle. He and his young cousins
were eyes out the window, as
there was no radio in the plane to
listen to other pilots or inform
them of their position!
A career pulled Greg closer to
aviation as the Junior Chamber
of Commerce President for MN.
His wife, Betty, earned her
pilots license and flew him
Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: Should I carry my
vehicle's title in my vehicle? If
so, will a copy suffice? I worry
about having the original stolen if
someone breaks into my car.
Also, what is a vehicle registration? Is it the same as my title?
If not, where would I find my
registration? Thank you for your
help.
Answer: You are not required
path for planes landing and taking off. Greg said the airplane
noise annoys some of his neighbors, but as a pilot, Greg enjoys
sitting by their house, watching
planes coming and going. He
laughed and shook his head as he
said, I often find myself analyzing whether or not the pilot has
the plane in a good position for
landing. Im thinking of holding
up large numbers with a grade of
1-10!
If a car is parked by a garage,
it means someone is home. If a
car is parked by an aircraft
hangar, it means someone is flying. If you see a couple roaring
across the field on their ATV
from their lake home to the
Maple Lake airport, its Greg and
Betty Thomes. Theyll soon
break the bonds of earth, living a dream in their Cessna Cardinal.
Whats your dream?
Until next month, stay out of
the trees!

I continue to thank God and
my parents for choosing Maple
Lake, the small town with a big
heart! That is what I like best
about Maple Lake. The people
who live here have big hearts.
All around the county Maple
Lake is known for being a town
with generous and charitable
people. The Outstanding Senior
Citizen of Wright County award
has gone to a Maple Lake citizen
at least a dozen times. Many
times I have seen an out-of-town
worthy cause having its benefit
fundraiser here because they
know it will be well-received.
Three generations ago the members of St. Timothy's parish took
up Fr. O'Brien's challenge and
sacrificed to build a worthy, sacred house of God. Today it
stands as a witness to their generosity and faith, providing
ample space to inspire a generation of their great-great-grandchildren. In my own time a
friend and 1978 Maple Lake
graduate, Carol McBrady, saw

I was pleased with how the

Especially with the younger
kids. They really started improving, shooting some of their

chosen for All-Star
Softball Series
The Minnesota High School
Fastpitch Coaches Association
and the National Softball Association Minnesota Sports Federation are co-sponsoring the
27th Annual Minnesota High
School All-Star Girls Softball
Series on June 7th which promotes and highlights Minnesota
girls fastpitch softball.
The All-Star Softball Series
will feature Maple Lake High
School softball players Kennedy
Haney (left) and Chloe Callahan
(right), along with 70 of the
states best senior softball players and 12 outstanding high
school coaches.
The 72 All-Stars were selected from over 6,000 girls who
play high school softball in Minnesota. The All-Stars are selected by the Minnesota High
School Fastpitch Coaches Association to represent all graduating seniors and are recognized as
Minnesotas premier softball
players.
The All-Stars are chosen and
then drafted onto six teams by
high school class. The teams will
participate in a series totaling six
games.
The All-Star Series will include a Hall of Fame Banquet
and breakfast buffet for the play-
currently 24-2.
If they win they will play
again at 5 p.m. that same day.
The championship game will be
played on Friday, June 5, at 2
p.m.
This will be the Irishs third
trip to state, but the teams first
trip in the bigger Class 2A. In
2008 and 2009 Maple Lake finished runner-up at state in Class
A to New Life Academy.
coach Aaron Hegle said. A couple guys could have played better and they are a little
disappointed in the way they
played, but the ones that didn't
qualify had great seasons.
The Irish shot a team score of
350, Thursday.
Among those who didnt
qualify for the second day were
Brandon Borrell with his 91;
Peyton Beehler who also shot a
91; Cody Welch with a 96; and
Jordan Mills who shot a 103.
Im very proud that we were
able to send two boys to the second day, Hegle said. I can't remember the last time Maple
Lake had so many advance to
day two. It was exciting and although they didn't play well I'm
still very proud of them. The returning players now know what
they need to shoot around to ad-

Scheiber hit a line shot over second base scoring Knudsen.
Amber Klug's base hit to right
center moved Scheiber to second. Linsey Rachel hit a double
to left-center scoring both
Scheiber and Klug making it 52. The big blow was followed by
Emily Webb's two-run blast.
Making it 7-3.
Good pitching and defense
are the keys to championship
victories, we got that today,
coach Knudsen said.
The Irish put together another
awesome game defensively in
their third and final match-up
against Rockford in the section
tournament. The winner would
go on to compete at Caswell

Track
continued from page 1
This is a huge accomplishment for a small school like
Maple Lake, coach Ben
Youngs said. In football, there
are seven classes. In basketball
there are four classes. In track
there are only two, so we had to
beat 29 teams, many of which
are twice our size.
The Irish slipped by runnerup Holdingford by a mere two
points.
We were leading by 12 with
two events to go and I told
Devin Deringer we needed him
to over-achieve in the 3,200, as
I knew Holdingford had a great
3,200-meter runner and a solid
4x400-meter relay team. Devin
took seventh and those two
points were the difference in the
meet, Youngs said.
Qualifying for state for the
Irish were Ryan Kalinowski by
winning the 800-meter run;
Charlie Stejskal who placed
fourth in the long jump, but
made the state standard to go
on; Andrew Schonnesen who
qualified in three events, the
400-meter run, the high jump
and the long jump; and the
4x800-meter relay team of Jackson Willard, Scott Jordan,
Schonnesen and Ryan Kalinowski.
Schonnesen is the first Maple
Lake track athlete in school history to qualify for state in four
events in the same year. He also
set two school records this season and nearly set a third at sections.
He finished second in the
400 and high jump and third in
the long jump where he met the
state standard to go on and set a
new school record.
It was an amazing day in the
long jump, Youngs said.
Irish State qualifiers Scott Jordan, Andrew Schonnesen, Jackson Willard, Charlie Stejskal and Ryan Kalinowski, along with Coach Kiebel, Coach Bidwell, Coach Grams,
Coach Youngs, Coach Fouquette and Coach Inforzato. The State Track meet will be held
this Friday and Saturday, June 6 and 7, at Hamline University. (Photos by Ashley Becker)

The Catch
by Jeff Plattner
Winning Twins?
As I sit down to write this,
the Minnesota Twins are 29-19,
10 games above .500. Above?
Yes, 10 games above .500. In
the last four seasons, the Twins
had never been more than two
games above .500. Furthermore,
theyve already had two fivegame winning streaks in 2015.
It has been since 2011 that
theyve seen one longer than
that. Needless to say, my interest in Twins baseball has waned
significantly over the past four
seasons. Yes, home ownership
and fatherhood have played a
small part in that, as there isnt
nearly as much free time as
there used to be. But, lets also
be brutally honest. Who wants
to waste their time watching a
perennial 90-game loser that,
year after year, showed little, if
any, effort to improve? No
thank you!! So, at 29-19 on the
young season, how have the
Twins fortunes changed?
CHANGING OF THE
GUARD
After 13 seasons of Ron Gardenhire, it was time for a new
leader in the Twins clubhouse.
Gardy enjoyed plenty of success with the team, but unfortunately, failed to carry that
success into the playoffs, posting just a 6-21 record, including
being swept in the ALDS in
each of the teams last three

Sheldon Brown
County Board
continued from page 3
Part of the plan was to update
the countys social media policy
to lay out guidelines about creating, monitoring and responding
to social media. The parameters
would be established for county
departments to give residents an
immediate link to the countys
website for full stories and notices. Some departments already
have a social media presence. For
example, the sheriffs department
already has a Facebook presence,
so the existing programs will be
grandfathered in.
Tagarro said that social media
has become the primary source
where many people receive their
information and that immediacy
is something the county wants to
embrace in terms of letting residents know of breaking news,
such as road closures, in a more
timely fashion.
It would be used for anything
that a county department wants
the public to know, Tagarro said.
If there is a new service being
offered by the recorders office
for example, they could tweet it
out. It could be used by the sheriffs department, public, the highway department, etc. There are
many different uses that could be
beneficial.
The board approved moving
forward with the changes to the
social media policy and getting
the information to department
heads to start implementing the
program.
In other items on the May 26
agenda, the board:
* Set a bid opening date for 9 a.m.
Friday, June 26, at the Public Works
Building. The program is sponsored
by the Minnesota Department of
Transportations Highway Safety Improvement Program. Since it began,
more than 100 highway intersections
