Musical savant wows Maple Lake

by Brenda Erdahl
Correspondent

World renowned musical savant Tony DeBlois walked


humbly into St. Timothy
Catholic Church in Maple Lake
Wednesday, Oct. 7, guided by his
mother. With one hand resting on
her arm, the couple carefully
made their way to the polished
black piano resting just below
the church sanctuary. The congregation was quiet as Janice
DeBlois helped her blind-sincebirth son slide onto the bench.
She then took her own seat on
a fold-out chair positioned at
Tonys left elbow, folded her
hands on her lap and sat back to
watch, perhaps with a bit of relish knowing the change that
would come over her son when
his fingers came in contact with
those piano keys, eager for the
audience to see his brilliance.
No one was disappointed.
The first notes rang out strong
and full of confidence and every
song after during that two-hour
concert incited more cheers and
applause than the one before.
Tonys first few songs seemed
to reflect himself and the trials he
has faced because of his handicaps.
Where am I going to find the
strength to make them believe in
me, he asked in his first number
which was followed by a song
called All That I Can Be and
then the light-hearted Why Am
I Me, from the musical
Shenandoah.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
I had to choose between chasing roosters or making another attempt at ruffed grouse hunting last weekend and grouse hunting
won out after I heard the warm weather reports that predicted
temps in the 80-degree range for Saturday in southwestern Minnesota. I got kind of a late start, about 7:30 a.m., and took along
plenty of water for Vanna and myself. My eventual destination was
the Paul Bunyan State Forest north of Akeley and we stopped enroute northeast of Leader at a trail we have hunted in previous
years. We had three flushes and I shot at one grouse twice when it
busted its way out of the brush and flew across the trail behind me.
From there we headed toward Backus for a look at the Foot Hills
State Forest. Apparently that area is a haven for 4-wheelers, and
believe me, they were enjoying themselves ripping down the
shoulder of the county highway before taking off down another
trail. I figured that was no place for Vanna or myself so we got
back on Highway 64. I planned to stop in Akeley to get some local
input on the grouse situation at the restaurant, but it was closed
and an attendant at the CENEX station didnt have a clue. We
chose the eastern side of the Paul Bunyan State Forest which has
numerous trails for both 4-wheelers and some gated trails for walkers like myself. This was about 2:30 p.m. and the outside temp on
my car showed 73 degrees. There was a breeze, but I figured I
would be better off listening to a quarter of the Gopher-Purdue
football game before starting to hunt. It wasnt the best quarter of
football, but they apparently turned it on in the second half winning
decisively. Vanna and I were getting organized when a group of
dirt bike riders sped past us. There are different ways to have fun

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: My question to
you is, is it required (by law) to
use turn signals when merging
onto a freeway?
Answer: This is a great question that I am asked about quite
often. This area would be considered an interchange/intersection; so yes, a turn signal would
be required when merging onto
the freeway.
Minnesota State Statute
(M.S.S.) 169.19 subdivision 4
states, No person shall turn a
vehicle at an intersection unless
the vehicle is in proper position
upon the roadway as required in

this section, or turn a vehicle to


enter a private road or driveway
or otherwise turn a vehicle from
a direct course or move right or
left upon a highway unless and
until the movement can be made
with reasonable safety after giving an appropriate signal in the
manner hereinafter provided.
According to state law, merging traffic must also yield the
right of way to those already in
the main line of traffic. M.S.S.
169.20 states, The driver of a
vehicle about to enter or cross a
roadway from any place other
than a roadway shall yield the

The Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
Since our pontoon boat is
about two decades old and is
usually left uncovered in the
sun, it's beginning to show a little wear. Around the lake, we
have sources with advice for
repairing such things. You
probably know most of them.
After some thought, it became obvious that bringing the
thing in to a shop would cause
me to get towing help twice;
once for repairs and once for
storage. My Bronco vanished
in a pile of rust after only 26
years, so I need to rely on family for aid. Earlier we had
brought seat cushions and top
covers in for repairs. Obviously, then, I could take the
seats off the boat myself and

bring them in, just as I had


done with the cushions. My repair source said sure, you can
unscrew a few bolts, drag the
seats out, and drop them off,
and re-install them when they
are done. Sounds easy. I tried it.
Actually, I'm still trying it.
The aircraft company which
built the boat had no intention
of ever needing repairs or replacement, so they used airplane-grade screws to fasten
everything down. During
WWII they learned how to
keep wings on carrier-based
planes. The boat, as a result, is
one solid piece. And since they
saw no need for repairs, they
employed tiny people with very
strong but miniature fingers to

and, while we dont appreciate the noise and commotion they


make, weve come to accept their rights to the state forest are as
good as ours. The trail we chose didnt seem to have had much
traffic, but it had lots of clover and prickly ash. Vanna gave me a
solid point, her first of the day, and I actually had a moment to get
set before I heard the whirl of wings and got a shot off. Vanna
found the grouse, but took the its mine attitude when I asked
her to drop it. I lavished her with praise and hope she will not be
so possessive next time. We hunted one gated trail, but didnt raise
a feather and decided wed had enough for the day. We were 1-5,
not good but we werent skunked. We wound our way through the
forest back to Highway 64 keeping an eye out for birds, but we
saw only 4-wheelers and no birds. My observation is there are
plenty of entertainment dollars out there! The warm day also
brought out quite a number of anglers who were fishing on the 11th
Crow Wing Lake; some from shore, but most in boats on both sides
of the bridge. One gentleman was seated in a lawn chair apparently
just enjoying the warm evening. The ride home was mostly uneventful, but we did see some deer feeding in a meadow off one of
64s S curves. .
.
From what I gleaned out of the Mpls.
Sunday Tribune the pheasant population is up in the southwestern
part of the state and the Governors entourage found some birds in
the Worthington area. It sounded like some of the pheasants seen
werent feathered out enough to tell the roosters from the hens. I
drive by Doug Starrys pheasant operation quite often and a week
can make a big difference in the maturity of roosters. My guess is
hunting in Minnesota will get better as the crops are harvested. .

We have an abundance of black walnuts in our yard this year
which the squirrels usually clean up before the snow flies. Like the
soybeans and corn which are setting records for the local farmers,
the walnuts seem to be doing the same thing, way too many for the
squirrels to collect. I started raking them up last week and thought
I had most of them picked up, but two days later the yard looked
liked I hadnt touched it. I thought most had fallen off the trees!

right of way to all vehicles approaching on the roadway to be


entered or crossed.
The Minnesota Drivers
Manual states: Entry ramps are
short, one-way roads that provide access to freeways. At the
end of most entry ramps, you
will find an acceleration lane
that allows you to increase your
speed in order to safely merge
with traffic that is already on the
freeway. To avoid disrupting
traffic flow or cutting off
other drivers when you merge,
try to adjust your speed to accommodate vehicles already on
the freeway. You must yield to
other vehicles when you are
merging. Use your turn signal to
let other drivers know your intention. Watch for an opening in
the nearest traffic lane and
merge into the flow of traffic
when you are able to do so.

As a reminder, it is not only


the law, but safe practice to always use a turn signal when
changing lanes or turning. Using
turn signals allows other motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians to see where you are going
or intend to travel. Using turn
signals can help avoid crashes
that result in serious injury or
death.

fasten the screws. Not only


that, but they fastened the seats
through itty-bitty access holes
that are well beyond the reach
of electric tools. Besides, extension cords need to hover
over the water in order for the
tools to workobviously, I
tried. Long ago I learned the effectiveness of ground-fault interrupters while vacuuming a
pool in South Carolina. I didn't
electrocute myself when a plug
fell in the water, and I knew I
was safe.
Airplane-grade screws are
really hard. The only thing
harder are screwdriver bits that
won't fit well into holes made
for tiny people with x-ray eyes.
Naturally I stripped some
screw heads.
I have about 108 screwdrivers and can connect them
with extensions from two or
three sets of socket wrenches.
With duct tape to assure my
contraption wouldn't fall apart,
I probed around until I got a

fairly good fit and was able to


get some screw heads an eighth
of an inch out. Then I glommed
onto the screws with a locking
wrench, and in about 200 turns
each, got them out. I did need a
wood chisel for better access,
and a flashlight to see in the access hole.
That job was relatively easy,
although my knees and forearms looked like hamburger by
the time I finished, and it only
took two days.
I dropped the seats at the repair shop, and asked advice for
removing the long back seat,
showing my forearms to
demonstrate my ordeal. The repair lady said yeah, I got a
bunch of those cuts, too, and
told me a few tricks for getting
the back seat out. So far, none
of the tricks has worked.
There's still hope that I will
finish the chore before the lake
freezes. If not, I will be able to
tow the boat across the ice and
store it as-is. Wish me well.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:


WRIGHT COUNTY
CHILD PASSENGER
SAFETY TOWARDS ZERO
DEATH ENFORCEMENT
BEGINS OCTOBER 10
THRU OCTOBER 26, 2015.
The best way to protect a
child from serious injury or
death in a car crash is to make
sure they are properly restrained.
Too many children are at risk as
three out of every four child restraints in Minnesota are used incorrectly based on child seat
clinics held around the state.
Minnesotas law requires
children to be in a child restraint
until they are 49 tall, or at least
age 8, whichever comes first.
Child car seat laws and recommendations are in place to
protect children.
Make sure your child is in
the proper restraint.
Not all car seats fit all children.
Educate your children on
the importance of being properly
restrained as they may try to
pressure you to get rid of the
booster seat or sit up front as
they get older.
Replace child restraints
after six years or if it was involved in a crash.
Dangers of Not Properly Restraining Children - Minnesota
crash statistics from 2010 2014
revealed:
22 children (ages 07) were
killed in motor vehicles and only
55 percent of the victims were
known to be properly secured.
Of the 16,807 children ages
07 that were properly restrained, 86 percent were not injured, while another 12 percent
sustained only minor injuries.
Minnesota Child Car Seat

Law and Steps


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 age 2 years. It is
safest to keep a child rear-facing
as long as possible.
Forward-facing seats - Age
2 until around age 4. It's preferable to keep children in a harnessed restraint until they reach
the maximum weight limit.
Booster seats - Use after
outgrowing a forward-facing
harnessed restraint; safest to remain in a booster until 4 feet 9
inches tall, or at least age 8,
whichever comes first.
Seat belts - Use when children can sit with their back
against the vehicle seat and have
their knees bent comfortably
over the edge with their feet
touching the floor.
Parents and caregivers are
encouraged
to

www.co.wright.mn.us or call

Wright County is a traffic safety
program with a primary vision to

fatalities and injuries by practicing and promoting safe and
smart driving behavior. We
focus on four strategic areas to
reduce crashes education, enforcement, engineering, and

Missing person update


Sheriff Joe Hagerty reports
that on Thursday, Oct. 8th, at
approximately 11:30 a.m.,
Wright
County
Sheriffs
Deputies recovered the body of
an adult male from the Mississippi River in the City of Otsego. The body was discovered
by volunteers who were assisting in the search for Joseph
Brunn who went missing from
the area on October 3rd. The

body was found approximately


300 yards south of the Highway 101 bridge and 30 feet
from shore. The body was
transported to the Midwest
Medical Examiners Office for
identification and an autopsy.
The circumstances surrounding
the death of this individual is
under investigation by the
Wright County Sheriffs Office.

It was expected that when the


Wright County Board of Commissioners
would
discuss
whether or not to exercise its option to potentially get out of the
Tri-County Forensics Laboratory
in Anoka at its Oct. 6 meeting,
the vote would be 3-2.
Commissioners Pat Sawatzke
and Charlie Borrell were clearly
on the side of giving the 180-day
notice Sawatzke citing funding
inequities and Borrell referencing that Wright County pays
$367,000 a year for a service the
Minnesota Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension provides for free.
On the other side were Com-

record supporting the program


because of its effectiveness in
processing evidence that could
get criminals off the street
quicker and solve crimes more
efficiently. Potter cited that the
county is in a contract that was
agreed upon and runs through
2018, opting to wait until the current deal expires before pushing
for a change in the funding policy.
That left Commissioner Mark
Daleiden in the middle. During
the discussion of the matter,
Daleiden made it clear he wasnt
going to vote to exercise the outclause, but when the matter came

Borrell, Daleiden voted in favor


of it, allowing it to pass 3-2. Even
Daleiden was surprised with his
vote.
I wasnt planning on going
along with it, Daleiden said. I
had made that point earlier in the
discussion, because I dont think
Anoka and Sherburne counties
care if we dont like the funding
formula. When it came time for
Commissioner Potter to call the
vote and ask all in favor, I say
aye. I got some strange looks
from the other commissioners,
but didnt feel it was right to
change my vote.
Nobody was as stunned as

was voting in favor of something


he has stated he was opposed to.
As the board chair, I cant
ask another commissioner are
you sure? when it comes to how
they vote, Potter said. I was as
shocked as anybody because he
has said he wasnt going to vote
for it. I stopped for a second to
see if he was going to change his
vote, but when he didnt, that was
it. By the rules in which voting is
done, I couldnt stop and ask him
if it was something he meant to
do.

Camp Courage celebrates 60th anniversary


Camp Courage celebrates its
60th year of serving individuals
with disabilities this year. In
1955, Camp Courage opened to
serve campers with physical disabilities such as polio, cerebral
palsy, muscular dystrophy, as
well as other congenital and acquired disabilities. Sixty years
later, camp remains a place
where individuals of all abilities
come to relax, develop lasting
friendships and experience new
and exciting activities.
To celebrate this milestone,
Camp Courage hosted an alumni
reunion and open house. More
than 300 friends of Camp
Courage joined in the festivities
including one of the camps
founders, Virginia SchoenbohmClymer and a counselor from the
90s, who traveled from the
Czech Republic to be a part of
the day. Speaking at a short program, she stated, Camp was
built for just anyone, with any
kind of disability, to enjoy being
around wonderful, warm friends
who are accepting and understanding. She recalled a quote
from Hubert Humphrey as he
dedicated the Speech and Hearing Camp that was added in
1966, This camp is a living

prayer.
Former camp director, Dave
Phillips, added, You want to
know that what youve done in
life makes a difference in the
lives of other people. Part of all
of our stories is camp, and thats
why it is special. Thank God for
Camp Courage.
Its an honor to be a part of
something that has done so
much good for so many people
for such a long time, said president and CEO of True Friends,
Ed Stracke.
Camp Courage is a part of
True Friends, a nonprofit, privately-funded agency that enriches the lives of nearly 4,000
people with developmental or
physical disabilities and special

needs annually. Other camp locations include Camp Friendship near Annandale, Camp
Eden Wood in Eden Prairie and

Camp Courage North near Lake


George. For more information

Nuttall pleads guilty


continued from page 1
On October 9, 2015, Robert
Nuttall, DOB: 08-05-86, pled
guilty to felony unintentional
murder in the death of Christopher Rossing, DOB: 04-26-89.
The defendant agreed to an upward durational departure because he concealed the body of
Rossing causing anguish and
pain to his family. With the durational departure upward, the
prison sentence imposed for the
felony unintentional murder will
be 20 years.
Defendant admitted on August 23, 2014, in Howard Lake,
Wright County, that he assaulted
Rossing and although he didnt
intend to kill him, he admitted
the assault did cause his death.

Earlier that evening both Rossing and Nuttall had been together at some bars in Howard
Lake.
Nuttall also pled guilty to
second degree assault from an
incident which happened in
Howard Lake on November 21,
2013. On that date Nuttall assaulted Mr. Berry with a beer
bottle, inflicting serious injuries.
The guideline sentence calls for
a commit to prison for two
years.
Nuttall will be sentenced to a
total term of 22 years in prison.
I would like to note that it is
difficult to prove an intentional
homicide in the State of Minnesota without a body. Without

a body we do not have a cause


or manner of death. We did recover some fragments of teeth
and human bone on the property
of Nuttall, but the fragments
were burnt so badly that we
were not able to get any DNA
for positive identification.
We simply were not able to
provide the whole story. We
could tell part of the story, but
did not have the evidence to tell
the whole story. The family of
Christopher Rossing is upset
with the negotiated plea and
they have every right to be
upset.
My office isnt satisfied with
the final outcome of the negotiated plea, but it did provide cer-

tainty of a greater sentence on


the unintentional homicide, and
hopefully, some closure for the
family. Again, our hearts go out
to the family of Christopher
Rossing.
I would like to acknowledge
all the hard work put in by law
enforcement in countless hours
of investigation. I would also
like to acknowledge Brian
Lutes, my chief of the Criminal
Division, for his assistance with
this case.
Sentencing will take place on
October 30, 2015, at 9:00 a.m.,
in Wright County before the
Honorable Geoffrey W. Tenney.
Wright County Attorney,
Tom Kelly

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!

Rehearsals are well underway
at Buffalo Community Theater
for their fall musical comedy:
Nunsense: Meshuggah-Nuns!
(\m-shu-g)
What does that title mean,
anyway? Well, Meshuggah is a
Yiddish (Jewish) word meaning
"crazy". So, "Crazy-Nuns!" And
that certainly is a good description for this whacky bunch of sisters!
In this latest Nunsense adventure, the nuns are on an all-expense paid cruise - the "Faiths of
All Nations Cruise, to be exact.
When the on-board cast of Fiddler on the Roof (with the exception of the guy playing
Tevye) gets seasick, the ships
captain asks the sisters and
Tevye to put on a show. The result- Meshuggah-Nuns!
If you've seen a Nunsense
show before, you'll be better able
to imagine how hilarious this

it "An Ecumenical Frolic!"

Pace Industries in Maple


Lake (and their branch in St.
Paul) opened their doors last
week to allow students a sneak
peek at the inner workings of a
manufacturing plant. Students
came from schools throughout
the area, including Albany, Monticello, as well as Maple Lake.
Jeff Jaros, operations manager for Pace Industries, was on
site to oversee the tours and students. He said that this day is a
great way to encourage students
to take a look at the opportunities within manufacturing,
where it fits in with a full-time
job, and how to obtain a manufacturing position. The students
also got an inside look on what
is produced at Pace, Inc., different manufacturing positions
available within the plant, and
how progressive the factory and
manufacturing trades have become. "It's not your dad's kind of
manufacturing anymore," said

Stewig goes back


to school on the
Mississippi
Blair Stewig of Maple Lake,
Minnesota, is one of 12 Augsburg College students spending
the semester traveling, living
and studying on the 2,350-mile
Mississippi River as part of the
nations first-ever River Semester.
Its so wonderful to be constantly exposed to our learning
environment, said Stewig.
Anything that we learn, we see
its implications almost instantly.
Its extremely motivating.
Stewig, double-majoring in
biology and chemistry, is the
daughter of Marj and Mike
Stewig, also of Maple Lake.
During this hands-on, interdisciplinary program, each student is
required to undertake a personal
project. Stewig will be exploring
how trace amounts of chemicals
from agricultural and urban
runoff impact human and animal
health along the river. She will
also be updating water quality
data as an intern for the Missis-

sippi National River and Recreation Area.


The canoes are a floating
classroom where students translate into action what they learn
on shore during lectures and
from their reading and homework, said Augsburg College
professor Joe Underhill, creator
of the River Semester.
Students participating in
Augsburgs River Semester will
earn as many as 16 credits studying biology, environmental studies, health and physical
education, political science and
other subjects. During the trip,
each student will:
Explore the history, literature,
food, music and culture of the
Mississippi River.
Gain skills tailored to meet
the needs of partner organizations, including businesses,
graduate schools, nonprofits and
government agencies.
Attend town hall meetings
and meet with environmental organizations along the river.
Hear from guest lecturers
about authors Mark Twain and
William Faulkner, ancient river
civilizations, American Indian
communities and their fight for
justice, and the Dead Zone in the
Gulf of Mexico.
The class, which departed St.
Paul on Sept. 1 in 24-foot
voyageur canoes, will land in
New Orleans by Thanksgiving.
Students will return to the Twin
Cities in mid-December. An
overview of the trip can be
found on the River Semester
website, augsburg.edu/river.

Rachel Dale, MLHS library


supervisor, and Alicia Stoll,
MLE paraprofessional, were
honored on September 30 at the
Rivers Edge Convention Center, St. Cloud.
This year 113 people were
honored from 28 school districts. The event honors those
who work as bus drivers, custodians, cooks, paraprofessionals
and other staff who help keep
their school running smoothly.
Throughout my career I
have been a teacher, principal
and superintendent, said Mark
Schmitz, executive director of
Resource Training & Solutions.
In all these roles, I have found
our support staff to be the people

Amy Kosloski had her 5th


grade students write why they
think fall is fabulous.
Sarah Neutz: Fall is a fabulous season because you can
make piles of leaves and turn
them into a cat nest for your kittens. Fall is also fabulous because you get to go Trick or
Treating and eat mashed potatoes.
Julianna Hageman: Fall is
fabulous because you get to
jump in the leaves and go Trick
or Treating and get candy.
Corbin Golby: Fall is a fabulous season because you get to
go Trick or Treating. We also go
on hay-rides around town. I play
football on a team with my
friends and play on traveling
baseball games.
Sydney Staloch: My favorite
thing about autumn is jumping

that keep our school districts


grounded, and in many respects
are the heart and souls of our
schools.
MLE Principal, Kris Harlan
agreed with Schmitzs assessment of Maple Lakes honorees.
Alicia (Stoll) has a true gift
when it comes to working with
special needs children, said
Harlan. Her bag of tricks is bottomless and the compassion she
shows each one is truly inspiring. We are so lucky to have her
on our staff.
MLHS Principal, Dave
Hansen concurred. Rachel
Dale goes above and beyond in
her position in the media center, said Hanson. Rachel
spends her days supervising students, checking out books and

materials, assisting teachers, and


helping students with research
and computer issues. Beyond
those expected things, Rachel
creates videos and slides about
recent and upcoming events to
display on the television outside
the media center door. We recognize and appreciate Rachel
for all of her efforts and hard
work.
The presiding superintendent
for the evening was Dr. Dan
Bittman from Sauk Rapids-Rice
School District. Dr. Bittman
said, On behalf of the superintendents in our region, I want to
recognize
and
celebrate
tonights honorees. It is my impression that support staff
demonstrate the following attributes: They show up, are re-

sponsible, follow through and


dont demand credit.
Ken Anderson, Resource
Board of Director chairperson,
referred to the honorees as the
backbone of a school. You are
important to staff, parents and
the communities where you
live, he added.
Awardees are nominated
from within their school districts. They receive a plaque
and a certificate signed by the
governor of Minnesota.
I can think back to so many
instances where the support staff
in the buildings I worked in
went way above and beyond,
said Schmitz. It is my honor to
stand before you tonight in
recognition of all you do. Thank
You!

in leaves and playing outside. I


also like to stay inside and read.
Its fun when you make a huge
pile of leaves and jump into
them.
Sandy Cassady: Fall is fabulous because its the month of
my birthday! Plus its the season
of Halloween. For Halloween
Im going to be a glow stick person. I think Ill get tons of
candy. Halloween is going to be
a blast.
Hunter Dalum: Autumn is
an awesome season because you
get to make giant leaf piles and
jump into them. You also get to
see the trees change colors and
lose their leaves. You get to have
a Thanksgiving dinner with
turkey and go Trick or Treating.
All this happens in the fall.
Jolie Uecker: I think fall is a
fabulous season because you get

to look at the colors on the trees.


And its sweatshirt weathers
since its not too hot or too cold.
I also like to jump in the leaves.
Jacob Weese: I like Halloween because we get candy
and to eat it. Also leaf piles are
awesome. I eat a lot at Halloween and get to stay up until
12:30 at night. I also play fall
baseball on a traveling team. I
play football with my friends.
Im also on a basketball team.
Wyatt Wurm: In the fall I
get to go Trick or Treating on a
golf cart down a gravel road. I
get lots of candy. I also play fall
baseball on a traveling team. I
like to jump in leaves too.
Sydnee Peterson: The reason I love fall is because of all
the colors like brown, orange,
and yellow. And its not too hot
or too cold outside. It is sweatshirt weather.
Catherine Luckemeyers 4th
grade students share what their
all-time favorite Halloween costumes have been so far.
Ian Helget: When I was
seven I was a Zombie for Halloween. I liked it because I was
very scary. I love zombies. I had

fake blood all over me and my


clothes were torn and dirty. I had
fake bruises on my face. My
skin had white and gray makeup
on it and I looked like a real
zombie. I got it at Walmart.
Alan Haglin: My all-time favorite Halloween costume was
Jedi when I was seven. I like it
because it had a hood. I pulled
the hood over my face so no one
could see my face. It was thin,
but it was warm out when we
went Trick or Treating. The
color of the costume was brown
and light peach. I bought it in
North Branch. It didnt come
with a light saber. I got to wear
it to school for the Halloween
party two years ago.
Paige Sanders: My favorite
Halloween costume was a vampire when I was four years old.
I liked it because I would hide in
the bushes, and jump out and
scare as many people as I could.
My costume was black with
glow in the dark teeth and a red
outlining. That is why I love that
costume. My job was to scare
everyone that walked up to my
home. That year I got to pick out
my costume.

Fast apple facts for autumn


Autumn is a time of year
when homes get dressed up with
scarecrows and jack-o-lanterns
as kids plan their perfect Halloween costumes and seemingly
every recipe has a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg added in for
good measure. Apples also experience a surge in visibility come
the fall.
Apples are one of the most
widely-grown tree fruits and become available for picking in
early fall. They can be put to use
in all different types of food applications - from desserts to
sauces to beverages. As a standalone snack, apples are a healthy
source of antioxidants and fiber.
Apples have many other qualities and an interesting history.
Consider these facts about apples.
The term "apple" comes
from the Olde English word,
"aeppel."
Apples are believed to have
originated somewhere between
the Caspian and Black Seas, but
now they are grown all over the
world.
The main producers of apples in the United States include
the states of Washington, New
York, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
California, and Virginia.
There are thousands of different apple varieties.
Apples were taken to North
America by European settlers.
Honeybees are a popular
pollinator of apple trees.
Apple seeds contain a small
amount of cyanide compound.
They're not harmful if eaten in
small quantities.
Many apple harvests are
still picked by hand.

Fifteen types of apples account for 90 percent of total production. Red Delicious, Gala,
Golden Delicious, Granny
Smith, and Fuji lead the way.
A bushel of apples weighs
42 pounds while a peck weighs
approximately 10.5 pounds.
The crabapple is the only
apple native to North America.
Apple trees won't bear their
first fruits until they have matured four to five years.
The largest apple picked

weighed three pounds.


Apples are good Halloween
bounty to receive in lieu of
candy. The nutritional benefits
of apples spurred the saying,
"An apple a day keeps the doctor
away."
It's fun to go apple-picking,
and many people flock to orchards in September and October to pick their own apples.

Irish fall in Homecoming battle, seeded No. 3 for playoffs


by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

Damian Kaley went 121


yards on 23 carries and scored
two touchdowns in Maple
Lakes Homecoming loss to
Eden Valley-Watkins, Friday,

Oct. 9.
Austin Becker ran 121 yards
for the Irish on 15 carries and
also scored two touchdowns.
The loss is the third in a row
for the Maple Lake team that is
now 3-5 going into the post sea-

son. Despite the loss, the Irish


were able to retain a third-seed
placement in the Section 2-2A
tournament that begins on
Wednesday, Oct. 14.
St. Agnes secured the No. 1
seed and Spectrum was seeded
No. 2.
Becker got things going for
the Irish Friday night with a 40yard run in the first quarter to
put the first points on the board.
Kaley ran for a successful twopoint conversion, giving Maple
Lake eight points.
Eden Valley-Watkins quarterback Reese Jansen threw to
Deshaun James who ran 48
yards for six points. Their attempt at extra points failed.
It was Becker again for the
Irish with a two-yard run. Blake
Wellsteds kick was good for the
extra point, giving the Irish a
15-6 lead at the end of the first
quarter.
The Eagles dominated the
second quarter with touchdowns
by Michael Tintes, James and
James again. Kaley scored a 10yard run between James two
touchdowns and the two-point

conversion (Nate Maas to Brandon Borell) was good for eight


points for the Irish, but the quarter still ended with the Eagles up
by three points, 26-23.
Jansen scored the only points
of the third quarter on a threeyard run, widening the gap for
the leading Eden ValleyWatkins.
Kaley ran three yards for the
Irishs final touchdown in the
fourth quarter, but the Eagles
put up two more of their own to
finish the night off with a 46-29
Mid State Subsection 1 victory.
Every team in our district is
tough, but (Eden ValleyWatkins) was very experienced
at the skilled positions, Irish
coach Tim Knudsen said after
the game.
We rushed the ball very
well, but we must find a way
to put teams away, he added.
The Irish ended up fifth in
the Mid State standings with a
2-4 record. Pierz was first followed by Melrose, Rockford
and EV-W.
The Irish will kick off the
section tournament with a battle

against No. 6 seed NorwoodYoung America on Maple


Lakes home field at 7 p.m. If
they win, they will go on to play
the following week, Tuesday,
Oct. 20, at the home of the high
seed.
The championship game is
scheduled to take place on Saturday, Oct. 24, at St. Johns University.

Irish volleyball wins Homecoming week against EV-W, loses to Mayer Lutheran
by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

The Maple Lake volleyball


team is 20-6 overall and 4-1 in
the Central Minnesota Conference after one loss on the road
and a satisfying Homecoming
victory last week.
The Irishs first game was at
Mayer Lutheran on Tuesday,
Oct. 6. Despite four hard-fought
games, the Irish lost the match 31 with game scores of 21-25, 2725, 20-25, 22-25.
We played very well as a
team, but just came up a little
short, Irish sophomore Linsey
Rachel said. They were a very
competitive team that is ranked
third in Class A.
We played hard all four
games, teammate Mollie
Scheiber added. Our serves
were tough and our communication was good. Although we
came up a little short I thought
we played really well.
On Thursday, Oct. 8, the Irish
hosted Eden Valley-Watkins and
won 3-0.
Maple Lakes Amber Klug
had 10 kills in the victory and
Olivia Marquette had five serv-

ing aces and 27 set assists.


Game scores were 25-19, 2510, 25-8.
All of us girls were pumped
because it was Homecoming and
we have three seniors and it was
their last Homecoming and we
wanted to play our absolute best
for them, Scheiber said. I think
all around we played hard. We
pushed and never gave up. We
had great communication the
whole three games even when
we were winning by a lot. The atmosphere in the gym was amazing.
Against Eden Valley we did
many things well that led to a
great match and a Homecoming
victory, Rachel added.
We continue to push ourselves to be a better team in each
practice and each match. We
know that we are doing really
good things, but if we want to be
even better, we must take advantage of all opportunities to improve, coach Marty Kiebel said.
With the regular season
winding down it could be easy to
coast into the playoffs, but if we
truly want to reach our goals,
every player must commit to

making themselves and each


other better at practice.
This week, the Irish hosted
Pierz Healy on Tuesday, Oct. 13,
at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, is
Maple Lakes last regular season
game. It will take place at 7:15
p.m. at Howard Lake-WaverlyWinsted.

The boys varsity starting line at the Litchfield meet on


Thursday, Oct. 8.

The Maple Lake cross country teams are peaking at the right
time and coaches hope the runners will be at their best as they
gear up for the big meets: conferences, sections and potentially state.
All seven girls varsity runners posted their best overall
times Thursday, Oct. 8, at Litchfield which is practically unheard of, coach Ben Youngs

said, and on the boys side,


Devin Deringer secured a position as the No. 2 all-time fastest
cross country performer in
Maple Lake School history.
Meanwhile, Simon Willard
moved up on the all-time list to
ninth and other personal bests
were had by Ben Smail, Brady
Tongen and Michael Miller.
Litchfield is a flat, fast
course, but the results exceeded
even my expectations, Young
said. We had so many personal
bests I asked the coach, who I
know, if the course is accurate.
She said she checked that morning and that it is, so I guess we
just had a great day.
Result wise, the girls team
ran to a fifth-place finish out of
14 teams. Annandale secured
the No. 1 spot with 66 points;
Orono was second with 78;
Hutchinson was third with 104;
Cambridge-Isanti was fourth
with 124; and Maple Lake had
143 points.
Sommer Carlson cruised to a
third-place finish for the Irish
with a time of 19:12.95; Halley
Geyen came in 20th in 20:41.20.
Grace Heying was next to
cross the finish line for Maple
Lake, coming in at 27th with a
time of 21:15.35; Bionca Peterson was 44th in 22:04.20; Mar-

garet Graham was 49th in


22:11.62; Ellie Haney finished
61st in 22:39.43; and Jordan Sifferle was 63rd in 22:50.39.
The team is making the
strides it needs to make in order
to challenge for the conference
title, Youngs said. Many of the
personal bests were by a minute
or more which is almost unheard
of drops.
Annandale won on the boys
side as well, finishing with 80
points. Cambridge-Isanti was
second with 89; Orono was third
with 151; and Holdingford secured fourth place with a score
of 152. Maple Lake finished
11th with 235 points.
Deringers
performance
earned him fifth-place overall
with a time of 16:46.22; Ross
Hickey finished 32nd in
17:53.63; and Willard took the
No. 33 spot with a time of
17:55.25.
Tanner Vassar was 82nd in
19:11.77 and Smail ran a personal best for 83rd with a time
of 19:12.93.
Brady Tongen finished 93rd
in 19:39.43 and Michael Miller
was 95th with a time of
19:51.63.
The junior varsity teams also
posted some personal bests for
the Irish. On the boys side, they

were had by Nathan Carlson,


Quinn Youngs, Jackson Gallagher, Holden Youngs, Hunter
Manka, Caleb Beneke, Tanner
Severson, Cody Welch, Tyler
Willard, and Joe Elsenpeter.
On the girls side, Mary
Miller, Kate Graham, and Gus
Demarais all ran a 5K for the
first time and ran outstanding
times for their first attempts at
that distance, Youngs said.
Personal bests were made by
Rachel Loch, Olivia WolffHerda, Caitlin Weege, Sienna
Ortiz, Tara Holmgren, Mackenzie Miller, Ashlee Martie, Emma
Carlson, Emily Rasset, Hanna
Stewig, and Chloe Riviere.
The Irish were to compete
again on Monday, Oct. 12, at
Kimball. The event is new for
the Irish. Instead of the traditional 5K race, it mixes up athletes from different schools and
throws them into a 1,000 meter
relay just for fun.
After that, the big meets
begin. On Thursday, October 22,
the Irish will travel to Pierz for
the Central Minnesota Conference meet and on Thursday, Oct.
29, they head to Milaca for sections.
Hopefully we can run like
we did at Litchfield at the meets
that matter most, Youngs said.

a school for the blind 12 miles


from our house. Unfortunately it
was in New Mexico and we
lived in Texas. They made a
five-year-old child live hours
away from his family.
As soon as Janice graduated
from the University of Texas
she moved her family to Massachusetts where she enrolled
Tony in the Perkins School for
the Blind, the same school that
educated Helen Keller.
In 1989, Tony was awarded a
summer scholarship at Berkeley
College of Music in Boston
where he would later become a
full-time student.
When he entered college he
didnt read, write or have communicative speech, his mother
said.
The teachers didnt know
how to test him. I said are you
testing him on his writing and
reading or music theory? You
need to find a way to test his
music theory.
Tony eventually graduated
from Berkeley magna cum
laude.
To date, the 41-year-old has

traveled the world from New


York to Singapore performing
concerts. He was the subject of
the 1997 CBS made for TV
Movie of the Week, Journey of
the Heart, and has won numerous awards.
The
concert
resumed
Wednesday night when Janice
turned to her son and said
Tony, would you like to play
Mr. Cellophane?
Yep, here we go, he said
with childlike enthusiasm then
broke into the jazzy piece about
a man who feels invisible and
inconsequential.
Mr. Cellophane should have
been my name . . . cause you
can look right through me, walk
right by me and never know Im
there, Tony bellowed.
He then explained that to him
the song brought to mind a person with disabilities standing in
line at a grocery store and no
one would look at him.
Of course Tony is anything
but invisible when he sits down
at a piano.
I have a repertoire of 10,000
songs, I play 23 musical instru-

ments, I sing in 11 different languages and I do nine impressions, he boasted then proved
it by donning his best Elvis
voice and singing You Aint
Nothin but a Hound Dog to
the delight of the rock and roll
fans in the audience.
He showed the power of his
memory after intermission by
playing only requests for the
next hour. Sheets of paper
poured into his mothers hands
with a wide variety of song requests ranging from Blondie,
Neal Diamond and Bobby Darin
to the haunting Ave Maria,
and Moonlight Sonata by
Ludwig van Beethoven.
His fingers flew across the
keys on Johnny B. Goode and
he tried his best to sound like a
repressed ice queen in his version of Let it Go from the Disney movie Frozen.
He ended the concert with
this bit of advice: Its okay to
be different, believe in yourself,
have high hopes, dont give up
on your dreams and remember
the three Ps, practice, practice,
practice.

once again.
Mark is the only one who
can bring this back to the board,
Potter said. Commissioner
Husom and I cant bring it back.
Sheriff (Joe) Hagerty doesnt
have a vote, so he cant bring it
back. By state law, only those
who voted on the majority side
can put it back on an agenda for
a vote and Im sure Commissioners Sawatzke and Borrell wont
bring it back. That will leave it up
to Commissioner Daleiden.
When the matter began being
discussed at the Oct. 6 meeting,
it was clear Daleiden was going
to be the swing vote. If the matter
is to come back before the board
without a new agreement in place
with Anoka and Sherburne counties, the only person who will be
able to do that is Daleiden, who
cast the vote to start the process
in the first place.
In other items on the Oct. 6
agenda, the board:
* By a 4-1 vote, approved the
sale of $10 million in bonds for
the Public Works Building, the
first of two bond issues that will

be done. Barry Fick of Springsted Inc., which conducted the


bond sale, said that the county
got an excellent rate because of
the competition in the bidding
process. Ten lenders submitted
bids for the project. Borrell voted
against the item, feeling that the
county could have funded a
larger share of the bonding
money from county reserves
rather than bonding for the full
amount.
* After holding a public hearing that lasted almost 90 minutes,
upheld a recommendation from
the county planning commission
to rezone a property in Silver
Creek Township from agricultural to general business. Nearby
landowners said that the business
would disrupt the neighborhood,
but, after being informed that the
rezoning does conform with the
countys land use plan the overriding factor in any rezoning
the commissioners voted unanimously to approve the rezoning
request.
* Rejected a bid proposal
from French Lake Auto Parts as

part of a property abatement in


Buffalo Township. The bid was
put out to remove approximately
70 vehicles from the property
and the only bid received was
from French Lake Auto Parts for
$110,000. Assistant County Attorney Greg Kryzer said the
county had estimated the bid cost
to be approximately $30,000 and
was concerned at approval of
such a high bid. With the rejection of the proposal, the matter
will be put out on a wider bid
proposal in hopes of getting more
bidders to get a bid price more in
keeping with estimates for the removal.
* Adopted a resolution supporting funding for Central Minnesota Emergency Medical
Services. The resolution requests
the State Legislature to give priority to funding the EMS service,
which has struggled to get funding to meet its costs in recent
years.
* Referred discussion of the
Administration Departments organizational restructure to the
personnel committee.

Tony DeBlois
continued from page 1
At one point his mother
stood up and claimed the microphone to share some of his
story.
He (Tony) was so tiny and
so premature that the doctors
gave me a choice to let him live
or die, she said. But I had already lost eight babies in pregnancy and I just couldnt believe
I had given birth to a live baby.
The decision made, the DeBlois family began their journey.
At six months old they
learned Tony was blind. At two
he started to show his love and
talent for music. At five years
old he was diagnosed with
autism and at 15 years the family realized he had Savant Syndrome, a condition in which an
autistic person has a highly developed talent in a specific discipline, often math or music.
It was one challenge after
another, his mother said. I
fought for him to go to a normal
daycare center. When I wanted
him to go to a school for the
blind, they thought he should be
in an autistic school. There was

County Board
continued from page 3
Daleiden said there are still
180 days remaining once the notice is given to Anoka and Sherburne counties, and hopefully,
that time can be used to amend
the funding formula.
We have six months to see if
Sherburne and Anoka counties
really want to be partners with
us, Daleiden said. The problem
is that I really dont think they
care that the funding formula is
unfair to Wright County. If they
were true partners, we would
have changed the formula by
now.
The options facing the county
now are either to follow through
on its threat to leave the TriCounty Lab or to potentially rescind the motion passed at the
Oct. 6 meeting and stay in the
forensics lab, which is funding
the 2016 budget.
However, there is a rub. The
only people that can bring the
matter back for another vote at a
future time are those who were in
the majority on the initial vote,
which Potter said will leave the
ball back in Daleidens court
