Youth ages 15 and younger
can go waterfowl hunting this
Saturday, Sept. 12, on Youth Waterfowl Day, when accompanied
by an adult who isnt hunting that
day.
Youth Waterfowl Day is a
chance for young people to hunt
with an adult whos giving all
their attention to making sure the
youth walks away with a positive
hunting experience, said Mike
Kurre, mentoring program coordinator with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
During Youth Waterfowl Day,
hunters ages 15 and under may
take regular season bag limits
when accompanied by a nonhunting adult (18 or older), and
youth do not need a license or
stamps to participate. The accompanying adult may not hunt and
does not need a license. Ducks,
Canada geese, mergansers, coots
and moorhens may be taken from
a half-hour before sunrise to 4
p.m. Motorized decoy restrictions are in effect. Five geese
may be taken statewide. For more
information on waterfowl hunting, see www.mndnr.gov/hunting/waterfowl.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
With the Labor Day weekend behind us, its time to think seriously about getting organized for fall activities. For me that means
giving Vanna a fall hairdo to keep pulling cockleburs to a minimum.
Her flowing tail is a built-in trait for English Setters, and while its
attractive, it seems like it is a magnet for attracting burs, and twopronged stickers (preachers lice), thistles and most any kind of
weed that likes to imbed itself and make a tangled mess of her tail.
Sometimes getting the cockleburs out, either from hunting or a walk
in the park, doesnt get done right away. When that happens she
takes matters into her own hands (more likely her mouth) and pulls
them out with her teeth. Shes not too fussy about where she spits
them out and about this time of the year the seeds have sprouted
from last fall and they have begun to grow in the lawn. I havent
gotten out to the Silver Creek Sportmans Park Tuesday evening
trap shoot, but thats another one of my get ready things I need
to do. My hunting companions, after witnessing my terrible marksmanship last year, are probably thinking the sooner the better! Some
people call it getting re-acquainted with your shotgun. Participating
in the annual dove hunt might be a fun way to sharpen the shooting
eye, and with some cool weather ahead of us, its a definite possibility. Checking out the hunting clothes is also on my list. Mostly
to see if they have shrunk over the off-season! Thats not likely to
be the problem, more likely its the fresh corn on the cob and other
fall garden produce. As my barber, now deceased, used to say, Im
not putting on weight, Im building up my strength. While those
things and planning hunts is going to take some time, its also necessary to remember fall fishing is something Id like to do more of
this year. A trip to Maple Lake and Cedar Lake were not productive
last week and Im at a loss for a good answer. One angler told me
to fish about a foot deep in 4-5 feet of water in the evenings for sunfish. .

With school starting this article will be entirely focused on the
safety of the most precious cargo
in the world our children. Traffic safety is a two-way street and
everyone has an investment.
School Bus Safety Tips for
Motorists:
Motorists must stop at least
20 feet from a school bus that is
displaying red flashing lights
and/or its stop arm is extended
when approaching from the rear
and from the opposite direction
on undivided roads.
Red flashing lights on buses
indicate students are either entering or exiting the bus.
Motorists are not required to
stop for a bus if the bus is on the
opposite side of a separated roadway (median, etc.) but they
should remain alert for children.
Altering a route or schedule
to avoid a bus is one way motorists can help improve safety. In
doing so, motorists wont find
themselves behind a bus, and as

I watched Howard Lake defeat Waconia 2-1 Sunday behind the
strong arm of Shan Khan who pitched six scoreless innings. Manager Mike Gagnon called on Chris Hardie to finish. Waconia was
held to two hits, the Orphans had nine. A day prior to that game
Laker draftee Mitch Wurm started his second game in the tournament and cruised to a 9-4 win over New Ulm, pitching 8 1/3 innings. He had six strikeouts and allowed three earned runs. A double
play, short to second to first, ended the ball game which was highlighted by some great defensive efforts from the Orphans. Their
short-stop, Dan Wackler, is one of the best. Wurm shut out the
Brewers for four innings and held them to nine hits.
Sundays amateur baseball game between Plato and Nisswa was
rain delayed until 11 a.m. Monday with Plato winning 3-2. Howard
Lake was defeated by Green Isle 13-7 in their rain-postponed, semifinal game Monday when the roof caved in on them after leading
7-4 in the eighth inning. Pitching was crucial at this stage of the
tournament and a seven-run Green Isle rally in the ninth spelled
doom. Mitch Wurm, relieving starter Adam Koch, pitched four innings, and gave up three runs on four hits. He had one strikeout.
Green Isle continued their rally against Orphans stopper, Chris
Hardie, and Cokato draftee, Vinnie Pokornowski, adding six more
runs. Ironically, Green Isle had five errors, but their 15 hits erased
the miscues.
All in all it was a great tournament for the Orphans and draftee
Mitch Wurm who pitched their first two wins, 4-1 over Lastrup and
9-4 over New Ulm.
This years finalists, Plato and Green Isle, both came out of Region 7 where they finished first and second, respectively. In previous games Green Isle held a one-game edge 3-2, but an outstanding
pitching effort by Winsted draftee, Tony Kley, who struck out seven
and gave up three runs on three hits, made the difference and led to
a 14-6 win. He was named the tournament MVP. Plato pounded out
19 hits and had one error. Green Isles four -un lead, 6-2 after two,
diminished when Plato added six in the fifth, 10-6, and two more
in the seventh and another in the ninth.
The Watkins community can be proud of the efforts by the volunteers who did a great job of handling all the details that helped
keep the tournament operating smoothly, especially through the inclement weather.

Commissioner
Christine
Husom, who represents the
board on the Tri-County lab executive board given her years
working in the Wright County
Sheriffs Department, said the
lab has been a service to the
county despite its cost and, with
recent DNA certification, the
speed with which criminals can
be identified taken off the
streets.
However,
Commissioner
Charlie Borrell countered that
until the forensics lab starts to
take in outside work to bring in
revenue and lower the costs to
the three member counties, the
same funding disparity will continue and it is a bad business
practice.
If theyre not ever going to
do piecemeal call it whatever
you want, taking outside work
from other counties then this
will never be a viable organization, Borrell said. It will never
be anything but just you paying
for the three counties. If theres
a way to make money by taking
a case in, why wouldnt they do
that?
Commissioner Mark Daleiden added that he is torn in the
matter because getting DNA evidence back quicker is always a
goal that is difficult to put a
price on, but, from a realistic
perspective, Wright County is
getting the bad end of the deal.
I am disappointed with our
cohort commissioners from the
other counties, because they

New faces, new race for Irish runners Irish volleyball defeats Litchfield
by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake cross country team started the season last
week with high hopes despite
some changes.
On the boys side, the loss of
over half its varsity squad means
new faces on the starting line,
and for the girls, come race day
they are going to have to run further than they ever have before.
Officials changed the distance for the girls from a 4K to
a 5K which means the girls will
be running as far as the boys.
That will change how they
race, Coach Ben Youngs said.
Although the girls team lost
only two seniors from last years
squad that finished runner-up in
the Central Minnesota Conference and seventh in Section 5A
competition, predicting how the
team will do is still difficult,
Youngs said.
Girls tend to be less predictable than boys as far as their
improvements from year-toyear, so predicting how we will
do is difficult, he said.
That being said, many of the
girls have experience.
Plus I'm excited about some
newcomers who may impact our
squad, Youngs said.
Returning to varsity this year
are three-time, state-meet qualifiers Sommer Carlson, a senior,
and Halle Geyen, a junior.
Other returnees who ran varsity last year are eighth graders
Grace Heying and Peyton Tongen; sophomore Katelynn
Kramer; junior Mackenzie
Miller; and senior Jordan Sifferle.
Other runners that Youngs
Hickey.
Devin just missed state last
year and that motivated him to
run 300 miles this summer,
Youngs said. He looks great.
Hickey ran a school record
600 miles this summer. To run
that far during break is a rare accomplishment, Youngs said.
Joining the two returnees is
senior Tanner Vassar, juniors
Simon Willard and Brady Tongen, sophomore Ben Smail and
freshman Michael Miller.
Those five were selected to
join varsity after posting the best
times at the pre-season time trials.
Overall it is very difficult to
know how this team will do with
all of the kids that graduated, but
early indications show great potential, Youngs said. It will depend on how kids adjust and get
used to racing.
Youngs expects Maple Lake,
Holdingford and Howard LakeWaverly-Winsted to be at the top
of the CMC. Last year Holdingford won the conference championship, but like the Irish they,
too, lost five of their varsity runners to graduation.
In Section 5A competition,
Mora returns as the defending
state champions, as well as No.
3-in-state-ranked St. Cloud
Cathedral.
For now we are going to
focus on ourselves and getting
used to racing varsity, Youngs
said. A CMC championship is
not out of the question. As for
state, it appears to be a bit ambitious for now, but sports are unpredictable and it won't be from
a lack of effort if we don't go to
state.

2015 NFC PREVIEW
NFC East
1.Philadelphia
Eagles
(Best-case) Oft-injured QB
Sam Bradford stays healthy and
enjoys a Pro Bowl season as the
Eagles run wild, on their way to
Chip Kellys first playoff win.
(Worst-case) Bradford and DeMarco Murray, who Dallas ran
ragged last season, both go
down with season-ending injuries and the Eagles, who
started hot, once again miss the
playoffs. Prediction: 12-4
2.Dallas Cowboys (Bestcase) RBs Joseph Randle and
Darren McFadden combine to
admirably fill the shoes of DeMarco Murray. Meanwhile,
Tony Romo and Dez Bryant
pick up right where they left off
last season, leading the Cowboys to their second straight
NFC East title. Dallas also gets
revenge on Green Bay, beating
the Packers to reach the NFC
championship game. (Worstcase) The Randle-McFadden
duo is a train-wreck and the
pass-happy Cowboys become
one-dimensional, taking a giant

The Catch
continued from page 9
NFC West
1. Seattle Seahawks (Bestcase) Its Super Bowl L; 0:26 to
go in the game. Seattle has the
ball, second and goal on the
one-yard line, down by four.
The Seahawks hand the ball to
RB Marshawn Lynch or to
newly-acquired RB Fred Jackson. Or heck, they throw a jump
ball to TE Jimmy Graham, one
of the greatest red zone targets
in the gameanything other
than throwing a slant to the
middle of the field to a WR who
entered the game with just 14
receptions on the entire season!
(Worst-case) They indeed hand
the ball to Lynch, for the win
but he fumbles and we all criticize Seattle for not throwing the
ball. Prediction: 13-3
2. Arizona Cardinals (Bestcase) QB Carson Palmer stays
healthy all season. (Worst-case)
Palmer goes down again and for
the second straight year, the
poor Cardinals receivers are
forced to catch passes from a
QB whos not much better than
I would be. Prediction: 9-7
3. St. Louis Rams (Bestcase) Upon his return from an
ACL injury, rookie RB Todd
Gurley shows us that he indeed
may be the second coming of
Adrian Peterson. With a very
good defense and the addition
of Gurley, St. Louis makes
some noise in the NFC West.
(Worst-case) Gurley is injured
