Happy Birthday, U.S.A.

In the past, the Fourth of July
parade included the Maple Lake
Library storytime kids. However,
this year marks a new annual tradition. They had the pleasure of
being joined by the Books with
Boone readers. Everyone was
dressed in red, white and blue,
had their patriotic visors and carried flags as they chanted

Happy Birthday, USA, Happy
Birthday, USA. The onlookers
enjoyed the beautiful weather
and appreciated the enthusiasm
of all those who participated in
the patriotic parade.

Motorcycle
safety is for
everyone
Motorcycling popularity is at
an all-time high in Minnesota
with nearly a quarter-million registered bikers. Unfortunately, motorcycle fatalities and injuries are
also on the rise.
So far this year, there have
been 165 traffic fatalities in Minnesota; 16 percent of those motorcycle riders. Preliminary
reports show that in 2014, 46 motorcyclists were killed in crashes
in Minnesota. Wright County had
16 crash fatalities in 2014, four of
them (25%) motorcycle crashes.
Safety advocates are asking motorcyclists to take safety into their
own hands and motorists to look
twice for motorcycles.
The contributing factor most
often listed by officers regarding
crash-involved motorcycle drivers is illegal/unsafe speed.
More than half of all motorcycleinvolved crashes are single-vehicle crashes. That is, no other
motor vehicle is involved, just the
motorcycle. The contributing factor most often listed for the other
drivers (in a vehicle) is failure to
yield right of way. Data also
shows that drinking and riding is
a big problem each year, about
one-third of riders killed had
been drinking alcohol.
The good news for those who
ride is that these type of crashes
are all preventable. With more
riders on the road than ever, drivers need to be on alert. Look
twice for riders. Expect to see
motorcycles when entering or
crossing roadways. Most motorcycle-vehicle crashes occur when
vehicles are turning or in intersections. Riders, on the other
hand, should assume they are invisible and keep a safe distance
from all vehicles. Wearing highviz protective gear and a helmet
can increase visibility and protection.
All drivers/riders can increase
safety behind the wheel by concentrating on driving, driving the
posted speed, driving sober, and
wearing seat belts or helmets.

The Maple Lake School

Board convened for a special
meeting Tuesday, June 23, to
approve a workers compensation insurance company for the
2015-2016 school year. Nick
Lano of Arthur J. Gallagher &
Co. attended to present quotes
and answer questions. Lano,
recommending that the district
end its relationship with
AmTrust, had received three
quotes from Accent Insurance
Group, SFM Mutual Insurance
Company and Dakota Fire (also
known as RAS), which came in
with the best terms as well as
the lowest quote at $34,981.
Lano recommended that the
district go with Dakota Truck

Underwriters (RAS), an opinion with which the board agreed
unanimously. The district will
see $2,622 in savings, as the
2014-2015 workers comp premium is $37,603.
Regarding other matters on
the evenings agenda, the
board:
Discussed legislative
changes resulting from the Minnesota Legislatures 2015 special
session,
including
2015-2016 calendar options.
One change is the option to start
the 2015-2016 school year on
September 1, one week before
Labor Day.
School Board
continued on page 8
For the last two months, much

of the discussion at the Wright
County Board of Commissioners
has centered on whether Wright
County would remain part of the
Tri-County Forensics Laboratory,
pointing at June 23 as the date the
county would vote whether to
serve Anoka and Sherburne
counties notice that, if the funding formula doesnt change,
Wright County would pull out of
the joint powers agreement.
As D-Day finally arrived at
the June 23 meeting, the board
passed a 3-2 vote to delay taking
any action until September. The
discussion almost ended when it
began when the first comment on
the issue came from Commissioner Mark Daleiden, whose initial remark was to make a
motion.
Ill make a motion to table
this until the first meeting in September so the board has time to
tour the Tri-County lab, Daleiden said. I want to have discussions with other counties before
we do anything rash.
The motion was quickly seconded by Commissioner Christine Husom, who said that, had
Daleiden not made the motion,
she would have.
I was going to ask the same
thing, so we can invite the other
counties to our Aug. 11 meeting,
Husom said. Weve had these
different discussions Anoka
County has had theirs, Sherburne
County has had theirs, weve had
ours. I want to get all of the commissioners together to discuss
this.
With a motion and a second

proffered in less than one minute,
the matter went to discussion
which would last for almost a
half-hour.
Commissioner Pat Sawatzke
came to the June 23 meeting
armed with dozens of documents
from the minutes of previous
county board meetings and TriCounty lab committee meetings
that emphasized the point that
Wright County has been contending the funding formula policy.
He pointed out that as early as
December 2007 before the facility even opened Wright
County had objections on the
record to the funding formula,
adding that statements made by
Sherburne County Board members directly conflict with what
the minutes stated.
Over time history seems to
change, Sawatzke said. Even
people that were part of history
seem to change history in the
statements they make and the
things that they say.
Commissioner Charlie Borrell
said that his problem with the TriCounty lab isnt so much with the
funding formula, its with the
cost. Wright County pays almost
$400,000 a year to be a member
of the Tri-County lab, when they
could hire an employee at the
Minnesota Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension lab that would be
dedicated to processing only evidence from Wright County at a
cost of about $89,000 a year with
the same speed and quality of
service the county is getting for
four times the price.
Long-time Maple Lake resident and former Maple Lake City

Councilwoman, Sharleen "Shar"
M. Dircks, age 81, died Sunday,
June 21, 2015, at St. Mary's Care
Center in Winsted, Minnesota.
Dircks was raised on a farm in
Northeast Minneapolis in the
days when there was farmland in
that area. She graduated from
Edison High School and became
familiar with the Maple Lake
area because her parents had a
cabin on Ramsey Lake.
While she was working her
way through college she held accounting positions in the Twin
Cities and moved back to Ramsey Lake in 1968. On June 11,
1977, she married Al Dircks.
A year later, Al and Shar
opened a flower shop on Division
Street that was a combination of
their names, Sharal Flower
Shop.
The Dircks eventually sold the
flower shop and Shar worked as
the manager of the Annandale
Creamery until it closed in 1993.
Al Dircks died in January of
1995, but Shar remained active in
the Maple Lake community. She
served six years as the Chamber
of Commerce secretary, five
years as the Chamber president,
six years on the Maple Lake
Planning & Zoning Commission
and served from1995-1998 and
again from 2003-2014 on the
Maple Lake City Council.
Shar was proud to be a member of the City Council and was
very instrumental in developing
our current zoning ordinance,
said Maple Lake City Clerk Lee
Ann Yager. She always let you
know how she felt no matter
what the issue was and was truly
one of a kind.
John Northenscold, another
fixture on Maple Lake's City
Council was quick to point out
that she was more than just civically active. "She was a very caring person," said Northenscold,
"she always took care of her (elderly) sisters. She was more worried about their health than her
own."
Dircks also served on Chamber of Commerce committees for
the Taste of Maple Lake and
Days of Old festivals and on the
Queens Committee.
Fellow Queens Committee
member Lorie Hegle remembers
Dircks working out of the office
space above Hegle Door.
"She shared office space with
me for years," said Hegle. "We
solved the world's problems over
a cup of coffee every day."
When Mary and Mike
Messina created Messina Financial and Resource Learning,
Dircks began work with that
company. Thomes Insurance
Group of Buffalo purchased
Messina Financial in 2000 and
Dircks continued to work for that
company in their Buffalo office
until 2014.
"She was a great ambassador
for our agency and for the city of
Maple Lake," said Thomes. "She
was always able to separate and
to know work from pleasure. She
could always keep things light.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Its hard to believe were into the 4th of July weekend already,
but you know the saying, time flies when youre having fun. It
also goes by quickly when a person is busy, whether on the job,
working on the things to do list, or enjoying a hobby. But getting
back to Independence Day and its historical significance and you
can bet your bottom dollar that Thomas Jeffersons Declaration
of Independence will get a lot of attention this weekend as will
fireworks, parades, major league baseball, and picnics with freshly
harvested ear corn and apple pie. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence
is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. Here, in exalted and unforgettable
phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and
hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already
been expressed by John Locke and the Continental philosophers.
What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in "self-evident truths" and set forth a list of grievances against the King in
order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the
colonies and the mother country. Abraham Lincoln had this quote
about Independence Day, I have never had a feeling politically
that did not spring from the sentiment embodied in the Declaration
of Independence . . . which gave liberty, not alone to the people of the country, but I hope, to the world for all future time. .
. . With all of the unrest in the world today and the threat of
terrorists to the United States reading the words from Jeffersons
hand back in 1776 that starts with When in the course of human
events, and in the second paragraph, We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, would be a good way
to kick off this years celebration and then move on to the present
day activities that have made the 4th of July such an outstanding

Sunfish fishing on Maple Lake continues to be spotty, but if
youre persistent youll get a meal or two. Michael Miller and I
gave it a try last week and we found out it takes plenty of sorting
to get a respectable limit. We caught lots of of sunnies, but we were
tossing back the females that hadnt spawned as well as the little
shavers. Im not sure why the females with eggs havent spawned,
but its something that apparently can happen if conditions arent
just right. Miller, a junior high student, also tied into a hungry
Northern that gave him quite a fight on a light crappie rod, but he
hung in there and boated the 3-4 lb. fish without a net just as the
fish bit off the line. We ended up with the Northern and 23 sunfish
for the 3 1/2 hours we fished. Later in the week I tried Maple again
fishing in about 14 feet of water. The egg filled females were again
a problem and it took a fair amount of bait to find five keepers.
One of the released females measured 9 1/2 inches.
Daryl Hennen convinced me to go to Big Stone lake at Ortonville (it didnt take a lot of convincing) Sunday to fish walleyes
and sunfish. I had fished there once before years ago without any
success, but I was optimistic anyway. We ran into two detours on
Highway 12 which cut into our early morning fishing time and a
clerk at Arties Bait Shop gave us some hints, which coincided with
those from Joe Rassat, as well as suggesting an access up the river
to avoid the 15-20 mph wind at the southern access. It was a new
experience fishing above the weeds which dominate that lake and
we struggled to get bites as well as fight the wind. We each had
some bites, but neither of us connected to find out what was after
our nightcrawler or leech. We wrapped it up about 2:30 p.m. convinced it would have been better earlier in the morning or in the
evening, mostly because of the wind. We took a round-about way
back to ML going to Clinton for a first hand look at that areas
pheasant country. Some of the prime Wildlife Management Areas
east of Clinton, in good farming county, had been hit by a hailstorm
the night before and the damage to the corn and soybean fields was
severe. Besides being a blow to the farmers we figured the pheasants in the storm area, which was several miles long and we dont
know how wide, also took a beating from the hail. Not a good sign
for this falls pheasant and duck seasons, but well know not to
hunt there, or not to expect a whole lot if we do.

Food Shelf this July. Your food
shelf provides food to those in
need in the communities of
South Haven, Annandale and
Maple Lake.
You can make a difference
for hungry children in our community.
Four years ago we recognized that when school is out for
summer vacation, many children
miss out on free school meals
and their families turn to us for
support. Since inception, this
program has doubled and we see
an increase in child visits each
summer. You can help a hungry
family today by making a donation. Cash is still king since our
buying power and connections

allow us to purchase food below
wholesale prices.
Yes, you can make a bigger
impact on hunger in the Annandale and Maple Lake School
Districts this July. Are you
aware that every day, Minnesota
food shelves serve 9,000? Last
July Annandale Food Shelf had
935 visitors. You can make a difference this year by donating
throughout the month of July.
The more you donate, the larger
our food shelfs grant from
Open Your Heart to the Hungry
and Homeless will be. The challenge funds will proportionally
match your donation. Your donation will go farther due to our
buying power. We can purchase
food from our food bank for
pennies on the pound.
Thank you, Open Your Heart

to the Hungry and Homeless and
Hunger Solutions Minnesota.
Since 1986, Open Your Heart to
the Hungry and Homeless has
targeted millions of dollars to
strategically fight hunger in
Minnesota. Open Your Heart to
the Hungry and Homeless funds
the purchase and transfer of
more than one million pounds of
fresh produce, meat and dairy
products every year through
Hunger Solutions Minnesota.
Open Your Heart to the Hungry
and Homeless also provides
grants for food shelves and food
banks to get the equipment they
needfreezers, shelving and
trucksto be able to serve the
growing number of Minnesotans
who cant afford enough food
for their families.
Hunger Solutions Minnesota

(HSM) has coordinated this
matching grant opportunity
since 2010. HSM works to end
hungry via the Minnesota Food
HelpLine and by advancing fair
public nutrition policies on behalf of hungry Minnesotans.
HSM connects Minnesotas food
shelves with funding and technical assistance to support the
9,000 daily food shelf visits.
Thank you for your past generous support in feeding our
hungry, and we look forward to
your financial donations this
July.

Avoid a trip to the emergency room this summer

Theres nothing better than
grilling up some burgers on a
beautiful summers night, but
could there be a hidden danger in
those burgers? Here are two
things to think about before you
host your next backyard BBQ.
Wire Grill Brushes
Most people leave their grill
brushes hanging on the side of
their grill, where theyre easily
accessible. This also makes them
accessible to rain, heat, ice and
snow. Add in the elbow grease
we apply to get the burnt remains
off the grate, and our brushes really take a beating.
In May of 2012, a New Jersey
man checked into a hospital to
learn that the pain he suffered
from what he thought was appendicitis was actually the result of a
1-inch-long metallic bristle
piercing his large intestine. The
life-threatening object is believed
to have come from the familys
grill brush. Its likely it came
loose when the grill was being

cleaned and later made its way
into the mans steak dinner.
Within a 15-month time period and from the same hospital,
six people affected by this issue
drew attention to the problem
back in 2012. Since then, a host
of similar stories has made this a
more common occurrence than
once thought. The severity of the
injuries can range from punctures
of the soft tissue of the neck, to
perforations of the gastrointestinal tract requiring emergency
surgery.
Alternatives
There are a number of alternative methods to cleaning your
grill. A ball of aluminum foil, a
nylon-based sponge, or you
could choose to burn the food
remnants off. There are also a
number of products on the market such as grill stones, wooden
scrapers, and coiled head
brushes.
In the meantime, do a safety

check on your grill brush.
1. Before cooking, examine
the grill surface carefully for the
presence of bristle that might
have dislodged from the grill
brush.
2. Inspect your grill brush for
wear. If the bristles are worn
down or clogged up with grease,
throw it away and replace it.
3. If your grill brush head is
split or warped the bristles can
come loose; throw it away and
replace it.
4. If your grill brush looks
okay you should perform a simple safety check. Take a pair of
pliers and grab a bristle and pull,
using moderate pressure; about
the same pressure as pulling
blades of grass out of your lawn.
If the bristle pulls loose, replace
your brush.
Food Safety Issues
The Center for Disease and
Control and Prevention estimates
that each year roughly 1 in 6

Americans (or 48 million people)
get sick; 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne
diseases.

please call to find out where the
WOW Van will be next, check
out www.co.wright.mn.us, call
763-682-7516 or 1-800-3623667 to make an appointment.
Wash hands: It seems basic, but
not everyone does it. Always
wash hands well and often with
soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the
bathroom and before cooking or
eating.
Keep raw food separate from
cooked food: Dont use a plate
that previously held raw meat,
poultry, or seafood for anything
else unless the plate has first been
washed in hot, soapy water. Keep
utensils and surfaces clean.
the motion got called and the

motion to table until the first
board meeting of September
passed 3-2, with Sawatzke and
Borrell voting against the motion.
In other items on the June 23
meeting, the board:
* Received a legislative update from Minnesota Sen. Bruce
Anderson. He reported on the
decisions made at the special
session of the Minnesota State
Legislature and how those funding decisions will impact local
governments
like
Wright
County.
* Approved a one-year contract between the sheriffs department and the Minnesota
Department of Corrections to
board prisoners at the county jail
at a rate of $55 a day. The contract will run from July 1, 2015,
to June 30, 2016.
* Authorized giving Auditor/Treasurer Bob Hiivala powers and authority related to the
administration of tax-forfeit
properties. The three powers that
will be delegated to Hiivala are
classifying tax-forfeit land as
conservation or non-conservation, establishing the appraised
value of minimum bid prices on
those properties, and selecting
some parcels for private sale.
* Heard a presentation from
John Peterson of the Waverly
American Legion concerning an
abandoned cemetery in Woodland Township. The American
Legion wants to work with the
Montrose VFW to clean up the
one-acre cemetery.
* Approved the findings of
fact for the re-determination of
benefitted landowners along
County Ditch 38.
* Authorized payment of
$11,070 to the firm of Madden,
Galenter & Hanson for union negotiation work performed on behalf of the county during May.
* Acknowledged receipt of
the May revenue/expenditure
guidelines. Hiivala said that 42percent of the way into the

budget year, both the revenue
and expenditures are in line with
where they should be.
* Approved the sale of a tax
forfeit property in the City of
South Haven. The city purchased the property on behalf of
Serenity Path, a non-profit detox
facility based out of Paynesville.
The county cant sell tax-forfeit
properties to non-profits, but it
can convey the property to a city.
* Appointed Greg Bakeberg
of Howard Lake to serve as a
representative of the agricultural
community to represent Wright
County to the North Fork One
Watershed, One Plan Policy
Committee. During a previous
meeting of the policy committee,
it was noted that the agricultural
community wasnt represented.
* Set a closed session of the
negotiation committee of the
whole for 10:30 a.m. following
the June 14 board meeting.

I dont know if this needs to
get postponed; I think we should
deal with it now, Borrell said. I
want to do whats best for
Wright County. Just as when
Sherburne County pulled out of
River Rider, it was to their benefit. Thats why they made a vote
to do it. Im prepared to just
withdraw from the organization.
Even if I went over there and it
was as good as it could possibly
be, it doesnt make economic
sense. If we wanted to hire a
dedicated person for Wright
County, we could do it at the
(BCA) crime lab for way less
money. I just dont see this panning out economically for our
county. I dont need to postpone
it. We just need to give our notice to get out.
Daleiden said he may well
end up agreeing with Borrell, but
given the investment the county
has made, he would like the
extra time to research and discuss the matter. The question on

Pursuit through Buffalo

On Thursday, June 25, 2015,
at approximately 2 a.m., a
Wright County Sheriffs Deputy
was on routine patrol in the area
of Hwy. 25 and 14th St. NE in
Buffalo when he observed a vehicle approach him from behind
at a high rate of speed. The
deputy observed a 2001 white
Chevy Impala pass his squad car
on the right shoulder at a high
rate of speed and continued south
on Hwy. 25. The deputy activated his emergency lights and
siren and attempted to stop the
Impala. The deputy lost site of
the vehicle in the area of 8th St.
NE.
A few minutes later the
Wright County Communications
Center received a call from Brent
Morris, age 31, of Silver Lake,
stating that his vehicle had just
been stolen as he stopped to assist a motorist that had went into
the ditch. Morris advised that the
motorist was driving a white
Chevy Impala and had gone into
the ditch in the area of Hwy. 55

and County Road 35. As he approached the driver of the Impala, the suspect assaulted him
and fled in his 2010 Ford pickup.
Wright County Sheriffs
Deputies located the stolen
pickup traveling at a high rate of
speed in the area of Hwy. 55 and
1st St. NE in Buffalo. Deputies
pursued this vehicle for a short
distance until the driver lost control and struck a power pole at
1st St. NE and Calder Ave. NE.
The driver fled on foot. Wright
County Sheriffs Deputies, along
with a K-9, were able to locate
the driver, Jeremy Sterzinger,
age 27, of St. Joseph, near 1156
Calder Ave. NE, Buffalo.
Sterzinger was arrested for fleeing, robbery, theft of motor vehicle, and driving after revocation.
He was transported to Buffalo
Allina Hospital for injuries sustained inthe crash and will be
booked into the Wright County
Jail upon his release.

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!

Lakers take first place at Hinckley tournament

By Matt Brown
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake Lakers

continued their winning ways
by taking home first place at
the Hinckley tournament over
the weekend. Maple Lake got
strong outings from their pitchers and the offense made plays
when they counted, a recipe for
success that has gotten them an
18-game winning streak.
St. Augusta 8
Maple Lake 18
The Lakers had a mid-season, non-conference matchup
against St. Augusta on Wednesday and it turned into a shootout. The Gussies opened the
game with a run against starting pitcher Dusty Decker, who
was making his first start of the
year. This got the offense going
for Maple Lake, pouring on 10
runs in total in the first three
innings, thanks in large part to
a grand-slam hit by Brian Redemske. Dusty Decker was
pulled with two outs in the
fourth for Riley Decker. The
pair combined to give up four
that inning but still held a firm
lead. Maple Lakes offense
scored every inning but the-
sixth, when pinch-hitter Matt

Brown got robbed of a hit and
an RBI by a diving play in left
field. Five Lakers hit doubles
and almost everyone got a hit.
Riley Decker went three and a
third innings (and got the win)
before Bobby Fobbe took over
to pitch the eighth inning.
Three runs in the bottom of the
eighth ended the game by the
mercy rule.

Shakopee 5
Maple Lake 6
Brian Russell got the start
for Maple Lake in the first
round of the Hinckley tournament on Saturday and put up a
Maple Lake Irish softball awards banquet
goose egg in the first. The Lakers capitalized, scoring in the

bottom-half of the inning to put
the pressure on. Russell was
pulled after one out in the second inning due to elbow issues
so Ben Jungers was called in
for relief. Shakopee scored one
in the second and one in the
third, taking the lead and the
game momentum. Maple Lake
answered by scoring two in the
third and tying it up. Graham
Brown stole home as part of a
three-run rally in the fourth to
take the lead. I counted how
many seconds the pitchers
wind-up was and figured I
could make it home before the
ball. Also, it is my birthday,
Brown said of the steal.
Shakopee came back with two
runs in the fifth and changed
pitchers, stopping Maple
Lakes offense. Things got
tense when Shakopee scored in
the top of the seventh and had
the tying run on but the Lakers
proved cool under pressure,
getting out of the inning and
winning the game. Jungers got
the win going five and twothirds innings, giving up six
hits, no walks, and three earned
runs against five strikeouts.

30th Annual Eden Prairie Cup champions

The Wright County Soccer
Boys U14C3 team won the 30th
Annual Eden Prairie Cup held
June 26-28. On Friday, their
first game against Tonka United
was called due to weather, resulting in a 0-0 tie. Saturday
morning they faced Eden
Prairie Brama. Goalie Nick

Lund saved a penalty kick in
the last seconds of the game to
preserve the win, 2-1. Later in
the afternoon they had a solid
win over the Fusion with a
score of 7-1.
The team advanced to the
semi-finals on Sunday morning.

They beat Eden Prairie Yeboah by a score of 5-2, earning the berth to the championship game.
The championship game was
a rematch with Eden Prairie
Brama. A hard-fought game re-
sulted in a win with a score of

2-1. The team has three remaining league games before they
participate in the end of year
league tournament. With two
more league wins the team will
earn the promotion from C3 to
C2 for the 2016 season.
Maple Lake got to play defending Hinckley tournament

champs Mora in the semi-finals. Jeremey Schmidt got the
start and shut down Mora, retiring batters as fast as they
could step in the box. Luke
Fobbe got things going with
two outs in the third by hitting
a single before being driven in
by Dusty Decker to take the
lead. The game moved quickly
to the sixth when Graham
Brown reached on a fielders
choice then stole second and
third, getting in scoring position with two outs. Luke Fobbe
hit a liner to left field, just past
a diving left fielder, setting up
a race between Fobbe around
the bases and the center-fielder
to the ball. Fobbe won the race
by sliding into home, safe, for
a two-run, inside-the-park
home run. The Lakers and their
fans went nuts. The home run
proved critical as Mora scored
two in the seventh before being

put down. Schmidt went all
seven, giving up six hits, no
walks, and two earned runs
against eight strikeouts.

Maple Lake 6
The Lakers faced off in the
championship game against
fellow North Star League team
Buffalo Sunday evening.
Mitch Wurm got the start but
Buffalo got the offense going
early, scoring one in the top of
the first. Finding themselves
down early with Wurm on the
mound was unfamiliar territory
for the Lakers, but they responded accordingly by drawing two walks to set up a
two-run double by Graham
Brown. Brown eventually
scored to make it 3-1 going
into the second. Luke Fobbe
drove in runs in the second and
fourth to help extend the lead
even further. Maple Lake gave
up a run in the fifth and the
seventh but held out for the
win. Wurm went all seven, giving up eight hits, three walks,
and one earned run while striking out three.

The Catch
by Jeff Plattner
Not Your Same Old Wolves
Less than three years ago, I
wrote a piece introducing several
new faces of the Minnesota Timberwolves and declaring it was
time to start getting excited
about the 2012-13 Wolves.
Today, of the 14 players mentioned in that article, just three
remain: Ricky Rubio, Nikola
Pekovic, and Chase Budinger.
While I may have thought that
2012-13 team called for excitement in the Twin Cities, it was
clearly nothing close to what
Flip Saunders and the Wolves
have assembled, coming out of
last weeks NBA Draft. As a lifelong fan of Minnesota sporting
teams, optimism is not something Im accustomed to. However, this time it simply feels
different. The Wolves are legitimately putting together something special, and people around
the league are beginning to take
notice. With an extremely young
core, the Wolves may still have a
few years of growing pains, but
theres finally a light at the end
of the tunnel.
The 2013 NBA Draft Trade
Some may recall the heat
Saunders took for dealing No. 9
overall pick and 2013 NCAA
Player of the Year, Trey Burke,
to the Utah Jazz, for pick No. 14
(Shabazz Muhammad) and No.
21 (Gorgui Dieng), in the 2013
NBA Draft. Just a few short
years later, the deal is beginning
to lean heavily in Minnesotas
favor. Dieng has been a pleasant
surprise in the middle, and with
the addition of Karl-Anthony
Towns, can feel comfortable
knowing hell no longer be asked
to log 30-plus minutes a night,
but instead, should enjoy the luxury of playing most of his minutes against back-ups, as Towns
figures to be the starter. Shabazz,
when healthy, has been instant
offense off the Wolves bench.
Before missing 44 of the last 47
games due to injury, Muhammad
enjoyed a nice 21-game stretch
that saw him average 17.4ppg,
while shooting 49% from the
field and 40% from beyond the
arc.
The Love Trade

What a difference a year
makes. This now looks like one
of the greatest moves in Minnesota Timberwolves history.
Andrew Wiggins won Rookie of
the Year last season and appears
to have all the tools required for
NBA stardom, while Kevin Love
just opted out of his contract
after a rollercoaster ride in year
one with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although many believe he
may re-sign with Cleveland for
the 2016 season, it doesnt feel
like Love and the Cavs have the
makings of a long-term relationship. Anthony Bennett has struggled, but under the tutelage of
Kevin Garnett, hopefully, he can
turn things around.
The KG Trade
An under-rated move that had
casual fans baffled, asking why
the Wolves would trade 26-yearold Thaddeus Young for the
aging Kevin Garnett, who at 38,
seemed to have very little left in
the tank. Heres why. Because,
Garnett is the greatest Wolves
player theres ever been, because
20 years ago, fresh out of high
school, it was Minnesota who
believed in Garnett, because despite leaving the team more than
seven years ago, not on the best
of terms, he still loved the city,
he still loved the organization (or
at least Flip Saunders), and he
still loved the fans of Minnesota,
because even with father time
working against KG on the
court, Garnett could bring this
team what theyve desperately
needed for over a decade and
something that only KG could
provide: Leadership, wisdom, a
desire to improve every day, the
determination to become the
very best, and the knowledge
and experience of the sacrifices
made in order to reach the NBAs
pinnacle.
The 2015 NBA Draft
For once, the Timberwolves
had gotten some lottery luck and
owned the No. 1 pick for the first
time in franchise history. Now all
they had to do was not screw it
up. As Karl-Anthony Towns
named was called on Thursday,
June 25th, Wolves fans everywhere breathed an enormous

sigh of relief. Towns can do it all;
shoot, defend, rebound, block
shots, pass, run the floor. Hes
the perfect fit for what Minnesotas looking to do, and along
with Andrew Wiggins, he gives
the Wolves what could be the
scariest one-two punch in the
league, in a few short years.
After drafting Towns, the Wolves
could have kicked back, celebrated their future star and ended
the night by selecting a fringe
roster member with the 31st pick
and a Euro-stash with the 36th
pick. Instead, they werent done
improving. Frantically trying to
move back into the first round,
the Wolves found a familiar trade
partner in the Cleveland Cavaliers. They would swap their two
seconds for No. 24 and select
Apple Valley native, Tyus Jones,
who said playing for the Wolves
was a dream come true. Jones
gives the Wolves a much-needed
backup point guard behind
Rubio and a very capable one at
that. Hes smart, plays hard,
doesnt make many mistakes,
and is a natural leader.
Building Something Special
If these Wolves can stay
healthy and stay together, weve
got something special brewing.
Front office Flip has one job,
keep the core of Rubio, Wiggins,
Towns,
Shabazz,
Gorgui,
LaVine, and Tyus together. Pek
is expendable, if anyone wants to
take on his ludicrous contract.
Garnett will most likely play his
final season this year and then
clear up some cap space, as he
heads to the front office. Projected starting five: Rubio,
Shabazz, Wiggins, KG, and
Towns. How fun would that be
on opening night? The bench:
Flip needs to ensure Kevin Martin and Pek come off the bench,
as theyll provide the second unit
with a very nice scoring punch
and will be much more effective
working against opposing second-teamers. Other than Tyus
Jones, Zach LaVine, and Gorgui
Dieng, the rest of the roster could
see some turnover, as free
agency begins July 1st and the
Wolves may look to make a
move or two before the season
begins. Whatever else happens
prior to the season opener, the
Wolves are definitely headed in
the right directionfinally!!

After initial testing, DNR researchers

still investigating avian flu in wildlife
After collecting and testing
more than 3,300 samples from
wild birds, nearly all of the test
results are back and the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources has found only one
positive for highly pathogenic
avian influenza (HPAI), a
Coopers hawk from Yellow
Medicine County reported in
late April.
The researchers plan to conduct expanded surveillance this
summer and fall by testing
ducks and geese handled as part
of normal banding operations
and by sampling hunter-harvested waterfowl throughout
the state.
We know that waterfowl
serve as reservoirs for avian influenza because they contract
the virus, but normally are not
killed by it. However, what we
dont know is what role wildlife
may have played in recent infections in domestic poultry,
said Lou Cornicelli, DNR
wildlife research manager.
Were continuing to take a science-based approach to testing
so we can obtain meaningful results.
To help identify wildlifes
role in the disease, DNR researchers conducted an initial
three-pronged surveillance effort beginning as soon as the
disease was discovered in the
states domestic turkeys in
March. Researchers:
Collected more than 3,000
fecal samples from wild waterfowl in a statistically designed
surveillance effort. Of those,
half were collected from around
infected facilities and half from
control areas where DNR manages specifically for waterfowl
but where the disease had not

yet been found in domestic
poultry.
Tested hunter-harvested wild
turkeys in the five counties with
the highest number of infected
poultry facilities.
Collected dead birds reported by the public, with an
emphasis on raptors, wild
turkeys, and bird die-offs of
five or more.
No HPAI positives were
found in the 3,138 fecal samples collected, but 3 percent of
the samples were positive for
low pathogenic avian influenza
(LPAI).
The finding of some of low
pathogenic avian influenza was
not surprising because we know
waterfowl are reservoirs for
many of the 144 possible strains
of the LPAI virus, said
Michelle Carstensen, DNR
wildlife health supervisor.
When DNR conducted widespread avian influenza surveillance of more than 12,000
ducks and geese from 2006 to
2010, no HPAI was found but
about 3 percent had low path
avian influenza.
For hunter-harvested wild
turkeys, 84 were submitted during the season and all were negative.
Of the 81 dead wild birds
submitted and tested so far,
HPAI has only been found in
the Coopers hawk in Yellow
Medicine County. For more information on the test results,
visit the DNR avian flu Web
page at www.mndnr.gov/ai.
Future testing
The DNR plans to conduct
more testing this summer during previously scheduled band-
ing of geese and ducks, and in

the fall will collect and test
samples from hunter-harvested
waterfowl throughout the state.
The samples needed to look
for active infection are simple
throat and cloacal swabbing of
live or hunter-harvested birds,
Carstensen said.
Also this summer, DNR researchers will collaborate in a
serology research project looking for avian influenza antibodies in birds collected at a
number of sites across North
America. Serology involves
drawing blood and looking for
antibody responses that would
indicate previous exposures to
avian influenza, Cornicelli said.
As yet, serological sampling of avian influenza in wild
birds is still in the research
stage and cant be used as a surveillance tool because a positive antibody result doesnt tell
us if the bird was exposed to
highly pathogenic avian flu,
Cornicelli said.
Researchers hope the serological work will help to better
understand serologic signals to
these viruses, to follow incursion and possible establishment
of the viruses, and to optimize
the most effective approaches
to using this technique.
Our goal is to use scientifically sound approaches to better
understand avian influenza in
wildlife and to help inform prevention and management responses, Cornicelli said. We
will continue to coordinate and
collaborate with other cooperating agencies and organizations
on state, regional and national
efforts to better understand and
manage this disease.

Down on the farm at the librarys Summer Storytime

Maple Lake Librarys Summer Storytime went down on
the farm Tuesday, June 23.
Thirty-one children and 12
adults enjoyed stories, songs,
and rhythm activities about the
farm with Farmer Marie. The
children also shared farm toys
and stuffed farm animals from
home with the group, which
made one big noisy Old MacDonald had a Farm song. Each
child then made his/her own
farm picture with crayons and
stickers, with many adding a big
brown mud puddle for the pigs.
They posed for a group picture
holding their farm creations and
enjoyed a snack after class.
Library Summer Storytime is
held every Tuesday this summer
through August 18 at the
McHugh building (next to the
bakery) from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
for children ages 2-6. There is no
registration required, but children must be accompanied by an
adult. Come join us.
These children attended Summer Storytiem: Isabelle and Gunnar Melgaard, Hazel Jacobson, Tessa Dahl, Payton, Lucas and Noah Schwindel,
Taylor and Claire Lee, Maci Geyen, Kenna Hennen, Emma McAlpine, Ella Lidberg, Clark and Oliver Hawkinson, Elijah Dorse, Sophia and Alexander
Norberg, Aubrey and Clifton Jude, Alexandra, Jackson and Evalyn Krauze, Joey Farniok, Rachel and Howard Rasset, Ryder Dettwiler, Peyton and

Should Maple Lake elect to

take that option, Superintendent
Mark Redemske recommended
holding classes September 1-3,
taking Friday through Monday
off for the Labor Day holiday,
with an extra day off for winter
break and ending school one
day earlier in June. Board members were of mixed opinion as to
the benefits of changing the
schedule at this late date. A vote
on the matter will be taken in
July.
Heard a report on the Finance and Programs committee
meeting held before the board
meeting and discussed the possibility of going to the voters for

an operating referendum and a
capital projects levy. As more
than $400,000 in over-spending
is anticipated in the coming
year, Redemske said the committee is considering a referendum
amount
in
the
neighborhood of $500,000, to
offset the deficit spending and
to perhaps reinstate some programming that has been
dropped over recent years. A 10year capital projects levy is also
under consideration, mainly in
the interest of keeping up with
technology. Redemske said a

change in equity legislation will
mesh the districts health and
safety with deferred maintenance dollars; for example, in
fiscal year 2016-2017 he expects the schools should be seeing about $44 per pupil more,
but taxpayers will see $31 less,
per pupil unit, coming from
their pockets. In the 2016-2017
school year, the district will receive $193 in per-pupil funding,
to be increased to $292 the following year and $380 thereafter.
The good news, he said, is savings to taxpayers; however,
health and safety items remain

for the district to cover. A good
time to address these items in
levy form, Redemske said,
would be in December of this
year, meaning that the board
must assemble a list of projects
and costs before its July meeting
and come to a final decision the
following month. Redemske
mentioned that the schools had
not brought a referendum to the
voters since 2007. A 2006 operating levy will expire next year.
The boards next meeting
will be Monday, July 13, at 7
p.m.
kill any harmful bacteria that

may be present, use a food thermometer. Hamburgers should be
cooked to 160F. If a thermometer is not available, make sure
hamburgers are brown all the
way through, not pink. Chicken
should be cooked to at least
165F. If you partially cook your
food in the microwave oven or
stove to reduce grilling time, do
so immediately before the food
goes on the hot grill.
Refrigerate and freeze food
promptly: It can be hard to remember while a party is going
on, but food should not be left
out of the cooler or off the grill

for more than two hours. Never
leave food out for more than one
hour when the temperature is
above 90F.
Keep hot food hot: Hot food
should be kept at or above
140F. Hot food should be
wrapped well and placed in an
insulated container. If bringing
hot take-out food such as fried
chicken or barbecue to an outdoor party, eat it within two
hours of purchase. In addition to
bringing a grill and fuel for
cooking to an outdoor location,
remember to pack a food ther-
mometer to check that your meat

and poultry reach a safe internal
temperature. When re-heating
food at the outing, be sure it
reaches 165F.
Keep cold food cold: Cold
food should be held at or below
40F. Foods like chicken salad
and desserts that are in individual serving dishes can be placed
directly on ice or in a shallow
container set in a deep pan filled
with ice. Drain off water as ice
melts and replace ice frequently.

Avoid emergency
Use individual utensils:
Dont use the same set of tongs
to turn the raw hamburgers that
you use on the hotdogs for example. Hot dogs cook much
faster and you could easily contaminate them with uncooked
meat from the slower cooking
hamburger.
Marinate food in the refrigerator, not out on the counter: And
if you want to use some of the
marinade as a sauce on the
cooked food, reserve a separate
portion. Dont reuse marinade
that contained raw meat.

New law adds width to criteria

for where ATVs can ride
On July 1, the state of Minnesota will begin using the
width of all-terrain vehicles
(ATVs) to determine how ATVs
are classified and where they
can be ridden. This change will
affect ATV owners, but they
dont need to take action until
their current registration expires.
ATVs were defined in the
past by weight and engine size.
As a result of legislation passed
in 2015, Minnesota law now defines an ATV as a motorized vehicle with:
Three to six low-pressure or
non-pneumatic tires and;
A total dry weight of 2,000
pounds or less; and
A total width (measured
from outside of tire rim to outside of tire rim) that is 65 inches
or less.
An ATV with a total width of
50 inches or less is considered a
Class 1 ATV. A Class 1 ATV is
typically designed for a single
operator who straddles the machine and uses handlebars to
steer, but some Class 1 ATVs

are designed by the manufacturer for off-road use with a seat
belt, rollover protection and a
steering wheel.
An ATV with a total width
that is greater than 50 inches but
not more than 65 inches wide is
considered a Class 2 ATV. Class
2 ATVs typically have a steering
wheel and are designed for the
operator and passenger to be
seated side by side.
ATV owners can continue to
display an unexpired registration for their Class 1 or Class 2
ATV until it expires. New registrations and transfers will continue using the present
registration system until the
DNR upgrades are complete.
The ATV registration system
will not be programmed with
the new definition of an ATV
until 2016.
There is no difference in the
cost of registering a Class 1 or
Class 2 ATV (a three-year registration is $45 for both), but the
classification affects where each
type of ATV can ride.

All ATV riders need to observe the signs designating
Class 1 and Class 2 trails, said
Mary Straka, OHV program
consultant for the DNRs Parks
and Trails Division. They also
need to be aware of the laws
about riding ATVs on roads and
in ditches. Most ATV riders will
not be affected by the new definitions, but others will enjoy expanded riding opportunities. For
example, only Class 2 ATVs
were previously allowed on
road shoulders, but now Class 1
ATVs can ride on the shoulders
of some public roads, too, if
they have a seat belt, rollover
protection and a steering
wheel.

After 4 months, Lifeline benefit includes 250 Minutes/Texts*
You may qualify for Access Wireless if you participate in programs

such as Food Stamps, SNAP or Medicaid.
To Apply: Visit www.enrollaccesswireless.com
* Promotional offer is limited to new, eligible customers who activate service between 5/1/15 and 7/31/15. Customers must be approved for Lifeline service with Access Wireless and reside in selected geographic areas.
Promotion ends 4 months from activation date. Minutes do not carry forward. Offer is not available in all states/areas. Customers de-enrolled from the federal Lifeline program no longer qualify for the promotion.
Unlimited does not mean unreasonable use. Free phone is provided by Access Wireless. Access Wireless is a service provider for the government-funded Lifeline Assistance Program. Lifeline service is provided by
i-wireless, LLC, d/b/a Access Wireless, which is an eligible telecommunications carrier. Lifeline service is non-transferable. Only one Lifeline discount, including wireline or wireless, may be received per household. A
household is defined, for the purposes of the Lifeline program, as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. A household is not permitted to receive
Lifeline benefits from multiple providers. Violation of the one-per-household rule constitutes a violation of FCC rules, and will result in the customers de-enrollment from Lifeline. Only eligible customers may enroll in
the program. Consumers who willfully make a false statement in order to obtain the Lifeline benefit can be punished by fine or imprisonment, or can be barred from the program. Customers must present proper
documentation confirming eligibility for the Lifeline program. Your information will be validated against public records and any discrepancies could result in delays in your approval or rejection of service.
