The 2016 Tasters Choice award went to Spilled Grain Brewery of Annandale. Below:
The Everett Smithson Band was the entertainment for the afternoon.

perfect back-drop for Maple
Lakes second annual Brewfest.

great variety of beer, wine and
spirits and the opportunity for
one-on-one conversations with
the many vendors happy to elaborate on their wares.

Thinking back on my fishing trip to Lake of the Woods
I neglected to mention my
brothers latest inventions, a
vertical fishing rod rack in the
back of his boat; and even
more important were the two
removable fish filleting tables,
also in the back of his boat.
They made filleting walleyes
for our shore lunches much
simpler than finding a flat rock
for a filleting board. Chucks
in-boat tables were suspended
on PVC pipes attached to floor
anchors with the opposite end
resting on the boat to give it
solid support. We both sat on

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

Daryl Hennen, his son, Adam, Jim Goelz, Tim Risbrudt, Rick
Benson, and Dave Goelz made their annual fly-in fishing trip to Ontario last week and came back with great fishing. In fact, it was so
good Jim said they pinched back the barbs on their hooks the final
two days to make catch and release easier. He had several beat up
fingers to make his point! He also commented they wore all their
cold weather gear the first two days and after that the weather was
great, no rain. Adam Hennen was a newcomer this year and was
amazed at the size and aggressiveness of the Walleyes. He also had

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

Enforcement:
Thousands of motorists cited for
not buckling up
While most Minnesotans understand that seat belts and child
restraints save lives, thousands of
drivers were cited for not buckling up during the Click It or
Ticket extra enforcement campaign from May 23 June 5.
Law enforcement handed out
7,233 seat belt and 213 child restraint citations to those who risk
losing their own lives or others
in the car. Among the violations,
a 4-year-old riding on his
mothers lap and helping steer
the vehicle.
More than 300 law enforcement agencies participated in the
annual extra enforcement effort.
Here is the online list of seat belt
citations by participating agency.
The campaign is coordinated by
the Minnesota Department of
Public Safety Office of Traffic
Safety.
Citation Results
While the 2016 numbers are
about the same as last years,
long-term trends show positive
direction in seat belt compliance.
The 2015 Minnesota Seat Belt
Survey shows 94 percent compliance for front seat occupants.
Click It or Ticket Citations
May 2013 2016:
2016: 7,233 seat belt citations, plus 213 child restraint citations
2015: 7,393 seat belt citations, plus 175 child restraint citations.
2014: 10,874 seat belt citations, plus 279 child restraint citations.

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

We all know Smores are a

Ruth Rigenhagen put together a
batch of her marshmallow
caramel balls which turned out
to be just as big of a hit at the
outing we attended last weekend.
Easy, convenient, and fun to eat.

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

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