To fund the citys 2014 street
improvement project, the Maple
Lake City Council adopted a reso-
lution Tuesday, May 20, authoriz-
ing the issuance, sale and delivery
of $1.44 million in general obliga-
tion improvement bonds, as well
as the terms of a financial advisor
agreement between the city and
Northland Securities. The decision
was reached by a 4-1 vote with
Councilmember John Northen-
scold continuing his ongoing dis-
sent for the projects scope, cost
and location.
George Eilertson of Northland
Securities presented the timing and
structure of a finance plan relating
to the issuance of general obliga-
tion improvement bonds and re-
viewed the terms of the financial
advisor agreement. He said the
citys bond rating assignment had
been reaffirmed by Standard &
Poors to be AA-, which he called
very strong credit, benefitting
the city as it enters the bond mar-
ket. At the citys former A- bond
rating of a few years ago, he said,
interest rates would have been
about a quarter of a percent higher.
The bonds have been structured
with a 15-year financing term,
consistent with projects the city
has financed in the past. Revenue
sources the city will use to pay
debt service include special assess-
ments, a portion of water and
sewer utility payments, and overall
tax payments from the citys entire
population.
Eilertson informed the council
that $1.44 million in bonds not
the $1.47 million they had ex-
pected to approve had been bid
out, to favorable response.
The reason for the $30,000
drop, he said, was that investors
would pay a bond premium to earn
interest at a higher rate of return.
Construction alters
area traffic routes
Individuals who plan to use
Wright County Road 106 or In-
terstate 94 near Monticello in the
near future may want to consider
alternate routes, due to construc-
tion.
Wright County Road 106
1,000 feet west of Dillon Avenue
Northwest and two miles east of
County State Aid Highway 8 in
Maple Lake Township will be
closed to through traffic Mon-
day, June 2, through Thursday,
June 5, for the removal and re-
placement of a deteriorated cen-
terline culvert under the
highway.
The Wright County Highway
Department reports it plans to
begin the closure shortly after 3
p.m. June 2 and end at 4:30 p.m.
June 5. Drivers will need to use
alternate routes and a detour will
not be posted.
The Wright County Highway
Department asks for the publics
cooperation in this matter to en-
sure the safety of both the trav-
eling public and the
maintenance crew. Individuals
with questions may call 763-
682-7383 between 8 a.m. and
4:30 p.m. Monday through Fri-
day.
Motorists traveling in the
Monticello area will encounter
delays and detours as the ramp
from Minnesota Highway 25 to
westbound I-94 closes at 9 a.m.
Thursday, May 29, whil crews
reconstruct more than two miles
of interstate. The Highway 25
ramp is expected to be closed
until June 28.
In addition, the ramp from
Wright County Road 18 to west-
bound I-94, which closed May
22, will remain closed until mid-
September. Signed detours will
direct motorists to access west-
bound I-94 using the Go
Hasty detour, which parallels I-
94 via County Roads 75 and 8,
for 30 days.
Other traffic changes on I-94
in Monticello include: All lanes
of I-94 between County Road 18
and Highway 25 are switched to
narrow, temporary lanes with a
55 mph speed limit through mid-
September; the ramp from west-
bound I-94 to Highway 25 is
closed through late-July, with a
signed detour directing motorists
to exit at County Road 18; and
both ramps from Highway 25 to
eastbound I-94 will remain
closed through mid-September.

Maple Lake High School will
be represented by several athletes
at the Section 5A Track and Field
Meet following a strong showing
at the Subsection 17A meet on
Tuesday, May 20, at Annandale
High School. Overall, the boys
team took the section champi-
onship with 201.5 points, while
the girls finished second with 172
points.
All athletes who finished in
the top four in individual events
qualified for sections, while the
top two relay teams also ad-
vanced.
The kids ran hard at subsec-
tions, coach Ben Youngs said. I
could tell they were tired coming
off the state meet. Saturday to
Tuesday is not much of a rest.
However, I was amazed that the
boys 4x800 team and Halle
Geyen were able to break school
records. For those that have fin-
ished their seasons, I would like
to thank you for your hard work.
For those moving on to sections,
good luck.
Jessie Wohlrabe, Blair Stewig,
Halle Geyen and Sommer Carl-
son started off the meet by plac-
ing second in the 4x800 relay in
11:13.5, qualifying for sections.
Andrew Schonnesen, Jackson
Willard, Scott Jordan and Ryan
Kalinowski not only won the
4x800 relay and qualified for sec-
tions, but also set a school record
with a time of 8:24 flat.
Jordan Sifferle and Grace
Thiele both placed in the top six
in the 100-meter hurdles. Sifferle
placed fourth (18.0) to advance to
sections and Thiele placed sixth
(18.7).
Charlie Stejskal and Aaron
Reese competed in the 110-meter
hurdles and both advanced to
sections with Stejskal taking sec-
ond in 17.5 and Reese placing
fourth in 18.5. Teammate Austin
Stuefen just missed the cut, in
fifth with a time of 18.6. Brielle
Paumen placed fifth in the 100-
meter dash (14.72).
Cody Bakka won the boys
100-meter dash with a time of
11.45 and advanced to sections,
as did teammate Dustin Strub,
who finished third in 11.68.
The 4x200 relay team of
Megan Webb, Brynn Paumen,
Kayla Hoistad and Catlin Weege
are also heading to sections after
posting a second-place time of
1:52.9.
The boys 4x200 relay team of
Cody Bakka, Evan Hertwig,
Kalinowski and Strub just missed
the cut with a third-place time of
1:33.8.
Mackenzie Miller placed
ninth in the 1600-meter run
(6:22.7).

Organizers of Maple Lakes
Memorial Day program made its
purpose very clear: to remember
the men and women who died
while serving. About 200 people
gathered in the community park
on Monday morning to do just
that.
The remembrance began with
a parade from the Maple Lake
American Legion Club to the
park. Included in the parade were
the American Legion and V.F.W.
color guards and members, firing
squad, American Legion Auxil-
iary and V.F.W. Auxiliary mem-
bers, Sons of the Legion
members, speaker Bruce Bartels,
American Legion Commander
Gary Jude, chaplain Culynn Cur-
tis, Boys State representative
Jackson Willard, Girls State rep-
resentative Maddie Nelson, Girl
Scouts and Boy Scouts and the
Maple Lake Marching Irish, with
the Maple Lake Fire Department
bookending the parade.
At the park, the crowd stood
in reverence as the band played
the National Anthem.
Jude welcomed the crowd
and introduced Girls State repre-
sentative Maddie Nelson, who
read the poem We Will Re-
member followed by Boys
State representative Jackson
Willard reading He Said He
Had a Friend.
God Bless America, played
by the band, continued the pro-
gram before Bartels stepped to
the podium.
Bartels, a Vietnam War vet-
eran, spoke of his deep connec-
tion to Memorial Day.
It probably started on the
day of my birth, May 28, 1947,
Bartels said. Memorial Day was
on May 30th then.
He left the hospital with the
red, white and blue attached to
his bassinet.
In my earliest days, I re-
member standing on Main Street
in Brownton with my dad
marching in the Memorial Day
parade, Bartels said. He went
on to take part in that same pa-
rade as a member of the march-
ing band and later became a part
of the parade as a veteran.
Lifes journey took me to
college, marriage and one year
teaching in Annandale, Bartels
said. Then I received a letter
from the president that started
with, Greetings.

Spring

May their
memories
live on
After our long and cold winter, seeing a family of hatched-out Canada
geese on Varner Lake off Highway 55 last Wednesday was like a breath
of spring. The downy goslings couldnt have been much more than a day
old and followed one another in a straight line with one parent in the lead
and one bringing up the rear. Ironically that was the only day Ive seen
them even though I make a trip to Buffalo fairly often. Vanna and I were
both startled last Thursday in Ney Park when we were about to cross the
ditch in the eastern part of the park when a turkey thundered out of the
grass. Another day, two hen pheasants caught our eye as they were flying
along the low land in the former Vic Jude property north of town. Later
a rooster flushed out of some willows in Ney Park and two deer. who
apparently didnt like being disturbed, ran out of some brush only to stop
on a hillside and give us the once-over. My effort to find Morel mush-
rooms has only been an effort so far, but its time to get serious about
that sport, especially after the thunderstorms Monday night and Tuesday
morning. I checked on a couple of asparagus spots Sunday, but came up
with only one tasty stalk about four inches long which was delicious. It
doesnt take much to please me. . . My thoughts the past two weeks
have been more on my annual Lake of the Woods fishing trip and the
food preparation which George Palmer, Mike Muller and I are in charge
of. My younger brother, Charles, has been handling the fresh food por-
tions for the past several years, but wont be making the trip this year.
His 44-year-old son, Bill, underwent an operation for a malignant brain
tumor and is fighting to get his health back at a facility in Spring Lake
Park. He also had a stroke which paralized his right side. On the bright
side hes starting to eat solid food and is trying his best to talk, although
he doesnt have much volume in his voice. Saying a prayer on his behalf
would please his family and me. . . Back to the fishing trip, my older
brother, Lloyd, Elk River, will be making the trip along with his son,
John, who lives in Dallas, and Lloyds buddy, Mark, Elk River. Dallas
may seem like a long way to come for a week of fishing, but John has
been there before and fishing one of Minnesotas best-kept secrets ap-
parently has had a positive effect on him. I talked with our hosts at
Protheros Resort and Grace said the ice has been out of the inlet since
May 8, but there were still some ice floes on the big part of the lake about
10 days ago. Despite the late spring Im still optimistic about the great
fishing we will have. One thing for sure, we wont be bothered with May
flies bothering the walleye bite. . . Angling out of my boat is still
on hold while Im waiting for the street work on Linden Avenue to reach
a point where I can pull the boat out to Division Street without jarring
everything loose in the Suburban, the boat and trailer. The way it sounds
some pan fish anglers have been catching some nice-sized sunnies in
shallow water on Maple Lake, but it hasnt been me. I put on the waders
Sunday about 5:30 p.m. and tried fly-fishing on Maple Lake. I caught
sunfish on the first two casts, but that was all she wrote. Neither were
worth keeping, but this weeks warm weather should make a difference
as the lakes warm up to the 65-degree mark. Your Messenger editor,
Gabe, fished with his wife, Sarah, on Ten Mile Lake up by Dalton and
Fergus Falls over the weekend where they came up with a mixed bag,
including Sarahs walleye, Gabes northern, and a large crappie and some
bass. . . If we were in a contest, the Iowan would be out-fishing
me!

A TV news flash on the proper care of womens jeans last week, or it
might have been the filming of ladies walking away in their tight-fitting
jeans, caught my eye. Anyway, washing jeans apparently is not the thing
to do if they are to retain their original shape. The TV announcers were
having a good time discussing the dilemma and the photography was
top-notch. Airing them out periodically was suggested as a stop-gap
method, but when push came to shove washing them seemed to be the
only answer. Anyway, I hope they dont get as baggy as mens and boys
wear.

I was impressed with the new format for Legion Post 131 Memorial
Day program and equally impressed with the speaker, Bruce Bartels, a
retired Annandale High School wrestling coach. He talked about how
he became involved in the American Legion and the patriotism that was
part of his upbringing. His father was a WWII vet and Bruce served in
Vietnam. He said one of the proudest days was when his dad asked him
to march with him in one of Browntons Memorial Day parades. It was
one of the more personal Memorial Day speeches Ive heard over the
years.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Neighbor and I were having a
congenial driveway talk the other
day, when he said, Did I tell you
about the peacocks?
Not me, I said, recalling his
backing himself into a storage
shed with his golf cart, and roaring
down his hill on a disabled lawn-
mower. I wondered how he'd beat
those stories.
There they were, a pair, pea-
cock and peahen, on my deck, one
looking in the window, and one on
the steps. I spooked them and they
went across your yard, then on to
the next one.
Sure. Hansel and Gretel's
house, I suppose.
Then they went on across the
next few yards until they got to
Bill's place, where they went under
the deck, he said.
Bill. Wee Willie Winkie's, I
thought.
Bill called me later and asked
if I could come over and bring a
landing net.
He could borrow a smelt net
from Rapunzel, I figured.
We cornered the pair under the
deck, in a sheltered spot. They
probably felt safe there, where
nothing would bother them.
Like the third little pig's brick
house.
Well, to make a long story
short, I crawled under there with
the net, and got the male trapped.
He didn't like it a bit, When I
crawled out, we were able to throw
a sheet over him and he quieted
right down, but the hen was still
under there. So I had to go back in
and trap her as well. Then we were
able to hustle them into a cage and
put it in Bills pickup.
Cinderella's pumpkin wasn't
available.
Bill knew the place north on
County 11 where they raise some
odd things, and we brought the
pair of them there. That guy told us
the male figured out how high he
could fly and it was just enough to
clear the fence. There wasn't a roof
on the pen. They don't fly much,
but he was smart for a young bird.
Once he got out, he got lonesome
and went back for his girlfriend.
She followed him over the fence,
and they'd been on the loose for a
week or two when we caught
them.
Rumpelstiltskin's house, no
doubt.
It was a good story, and Neigh-
bor kept a straight face throughout
the telling of his improbable tale.
But many many years ago, as a
child, I got a book of Grimm's
Fairy Tales. I still keep it on our
bookshelf, and refer to it from time
to time. Much later, after my sec-
ond retirement and before my
third, I worked on an assignment
in Goettingen, Germany, where
the Grimm brothers wrote their
stories. With that comprehensive
experience, I'm not easily fooled. I
retained my cool, said I needed to
go, and didn't laugh until I was
well inside the house.

Retiree

Motorcycle passengers
Question: My wife and I
have a larger motorcycle and
love to ride. We have a 6-year-
old grandchild that wants to go
along. The state motorcycle
guide says you should not have
a child ride in front of you, but
behind you instead. It doesn't
say you can't, it says you
shouldn't. It also says the pas-
senger must be able to reach the
foot pedals. My question is, can
our grandchild ride (sand-
wiched) between us? I feel this
would be safe, but is it legal?
Answer: The motorcycle
guide is not the law, it is a sum-
mary, and your interpretation of
what it says may be incorrect. It
would not be legal and would
not be safe. Motorcycles are not
designed for three people (un-
less there is a sidecar or similar).
Here is part of the motorcycle
law concerning passengers:
M.S.S. 169.974 Subdivision
5(a) An operator of a motorcy-
cle shall ride only upon a per-
manent and regular seat which
is attached to the vehicle for that
purpose. No other person shall
ride on a motorcycle; except
that passengers may ride upon a
permanent and regular opera-
tor's seat if designed for two
persons, or upon additional
seats attached to the vehicle to
the rear of the operator's seat, or
in a sidecar attached to the vehi-
cle; provided, however, that the
operator of a motorcycle shall
not carry passengers in a num-
ber in excess of the designed ca-
pacity of the motorcycle or
sidecar attached to it. No pas-
senger shall be carried in a po-
sition that will interfere with the
safe operation of the motorcycle
or the view of the operator.
(b) No person shall ride upon
a motorcycle as a passenger un-
less, when sitting astride the
seat, the person can reach the
footrests with both feet.
(c) No person, except pas-
sengers of sidecars or drivers
and passengers of three-wheeled
motorcycles, shall operate or
ride upon a motorcycle except
while sitting astride the seat,
facing forward, with one leg on
either side of the motorcycle.
Parts of state statutes were
used with permission from the
Office of the Revisor of
Statutes. Thanks for asking. I
hope this clears it up for you.

Card of Thanks
Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
That letter was his draft no-
tice and he began his service in
1971 as a clerk, a role he said he
shared with the character of Cpl.
Radar OReilly portrayed on the
TV show M*A*S*H*.
When I returned, dad asked
me to march with him in 1972,
Bartels said. I did so proudly
until his death in 2004.
He only missed one year,
when his son was born on his
birthday.
His birthday also marked the
death of veteran Corliss Peter-
son, who was killed in action.
It gave me an awesome
awareness of what he had given
three years before my birth,
Bartels said.
While Memorial Day was
moved from May 30 to the
fourth Monday in May years
ago, Bartels said the holiday
shouldnt just be considered part
of a long weekend or the begin-
ning of summer.
Abraham Lincoln epitomized
the meaning of Memorial Day
as part of the Gettysburg Ad-
dress, years before the day be-
came a national holiday.
That from these honored
dead we take increased devotion
to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of de-
votion that we here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not
have died in vain, Bartels
quoted.
Recounting federal legisla-
tion, he encouraged veterans to
pay tribute with a military salute
during the presentation of colors
and National Anthem, regard-
less of venue, in honor of com-
rades who gave their last
measure of devotion.
Bartels closed his portion of
the program by quoting the final
statement he remembers from
Memorial Day ceremonies in
his hometown.
Ladies, gentlemen and com-
rades: These are the honored
dead, Bartels said. May their
memories live on in our hearts
forever.
Maple Lakes honored dead
were remembered with Chuck
Stoppelman reading the names
of those killed in action and
Tom Mooney reading the names
of local veterans who passed
away within the last year, as
local Boy Scouts and Cub
Scouts added a flag to a memo-
rial for each of them.
Red, white and blue wreaths
were also placed in memory of
veterans who have died.
These flowers may wither
and die, Jude said to conclude
the program, but the spirit of
which they are a symbol will en-
dure until the end of time.

The issue of transit in Wright
County has turned into its own ver-
sion of The NeverEnding Story,
as it seemingly changes on a
weekly or even a daily basis. At the
May 20 Wright County Board of
Commissioners meeting, there was
yet another twist to the countys
stance on transit.
A week earlier, the board had
discussed the option of going with
a private contractor from Maple
Grove, but Minnesota Department
of Transportation officials would
not support that move, instead urg-
ing the county to join the Trailblazer
transit group based in Glencoe. A
week later, MnDOTs decision left
the commissioners confused as to
how they could proceed.
Commissioner Pat Sawatzke
said MnDOT has given Wright
County three options allow Trail-
blazer to work out a joint-powers
agreement with cities, have Wright
County strike out on its own to get
a low bidder for the service or have
the county work under the admin-
istrative umbrella of Tri-Cap (a
transit system of Benton, Stearns
and Sherburne counties). With
River Rider ceasing to exist July 1,
the alternative that would not dis-
rupt service is the Trailblazer pro-
gram.
Commissioner Mark Daleiden
said he has been frustrated with the
lack of control Wright County has
had in the process. By a 3-2 vote
earlier this year, the county ap-
proved entering into a joint powers
agreement with Trailblazer, only to
have Trailblazer halt negotiations
with the county and work directly
with cities to reach an agreement.
When it appeared the county had
found a viable, less expensive alter-
native, the brakes were put on
again.
The problem here is that
MnDOT went and messed things
up again, Daleiden said. They are
not represented here today, so we
are left to interpret what they
mean.
Commissioners Sawatzke and
Mike Potter referenced the same
documents and drew different con-
clusions as to what they meant.
Others, including representatives
from the city of Annandale and
Functional Industries felt the county
needs to get something done before
July 1, which would entail allow-
ing Trailblazer to continue to nego-
tiate with cities and organizations in
the county.
Rod Peterson, of Functional In-
dustries, which employs people
with disabilities, said his worst fear
has been realized that Functional
Industries would be caught in the
middle of political in-fighting and
the work the company has spent
decades building and nurturing
could be the casualty of this politi-
cal war.
If you tell Trailblazer you dont
want them here, they wont come
in, Peterson said. In essence,
youre darned near shutting us
down because we dont have
enough transportation to move the
folks that used to be served by
River Rider. Without that trans-
portation for even two weeks, the
jobs that we have worked 20 or 30
years to establish are going to dis-
appear.
The board wrangled with how
to proceed, to the point that Board
Chair Christine Husom passed the
gavel to make an amendment to a
motion. However, her motion to
soften the language and give county
support of Trailblazer, died for the
lack of a second.
In the end, the commissioners
voted to send a letter to the Trail-
blazer board stating that, while the
county is still looking at continuing
the procurement process, it
wouldnt stand in the way of cities
to reach an agreement with Trail-
blazer. The motion passed by a 3-2
vote with commissioners Mike Pot-
ter and Daleiden voting no.
In other business, the board:
Accepted the minutes of the
May 5 budget committee of the
whole meeting. The meeting re-
viewed the final 2013 budget fig-
ures. County departments turned
back $1.97 million to the general
fund with another $1.55 million
turned back in the road and bridge
fund. However, it was noted, be-
cause road projects are often de-
layed from the times bids are set,
that the road and bridge figure will
likely be lower than $1.55 million.
The approximate $2 million turned
back to the general fund will likely
be used to fund capital improve-
ment projects in the county that
arent part of the standard budget-
ing process.
Authorized signatures on a
highway right of way plat agree-
ment for the construction project on
CSAH 12, which is slated for con-
struction in 2015.
Authorized a fine of $200 to
Whispering Pines Golf Course for
a failed alcohol compliance check.
This was the second violation for
the golf course, but the first with its
current ownership.
Approved retaining an ap-
praiser to conduct independent ap-
praisals of three properties in the
county that are part of value dis-
putes slated to be argued in tax
court.
Accepted the findings and rec-
ommendations of the planning
commission to rezone 39 acres of
land in Corinna Township from Ag
General to Ag Residential. Al-
though Corinna Township does its
own planning and zoning, the
county must approve all changes
that would alter the countys zoning
map.

City Council
County transit discussion continues
In a sense, how this works is as
a push to the city, he said. We
take that premium and put it into the
sources of funds for the bond issue
and then downsize the bonds by
that $30,000. So thats why, at the
time of sale tonight, youre actually
issuing $30,000 less in bonds than
originally thought. Now, the push
that I talked about is if youre issu-
ing $30,000 less in principle, but
paying at a higher interest rate, it
works out equal to the $30,000
more that $1.47 million and
paying at that lower interest rate.
So, its a non-issue for the city.
The citys 2.84 percent interest
rate is higher than the average of 2.5
percent.
In the end, it works out well for
the city, Eilertson said. Youre
borrowing at very low interest rates
and were downsizing your bond
issue.
Bonds will be dated June 1. Pro-
ceeds from the bond issue will be
received June 12.
Eilertson noted two nice
things about the citys timing with
regards to the current bond market,
the first being low interest rates.
The second, he said, is a current
prevalence of relatively early call
dates on bonds. Feb. 1, 2021, is the
first date the city will be able to pre-
pay or refinance these bonds, he
noted, and the city will still owe
about $1 million in principle at that
time. He said he would notify the
city as markets change and oppor-
tunities to refinance present them-
selves in coming years.
The council adopted a resolu-
tion authorizing payment of early
invoices with intent to reimburse
the city when those monies become
available June 12. Payment No. 1
of $82,373.55 to Latour Construc-
tion, for its first weeks of work on
the 2014 Street Improvement Proj-
ect, was also approved.
In other business, the council:
Heard from Northenscold that
a May 13 public hearing on the
citys updated comprehensive plan
had generated lengthy discussion
with residents affected by potential
placement of future industrial sites,
and will continue 7 p.m. June 10.
That hearing will include a discus-
sion about possibly allowing down-
town street-level residential
dwelling as an interim use.
Discussed the departure of
Economic Development Director
Paul Bilotta, who took a job with
the city of Roseville, and how best
to go about finding his replacement.
Stantec is authorized to fill-in that
position in the interim, and the
council hopes to gather more spe-
cific information regarding individ-
uals Stantec might provide.
Potential candidates will be invited
to meetings in upcoming months.
Adopted a resolution amend-
ing the citys drug and alcohol free
workplace policy regarding em-
ployees at Maple Lake Wine and
Spirits to clarify that only liquor
store employees 21 or older are al-
lowed to sample, that they are to
sample only alcohol that has previ-
ously been opened for customers
and only after the employees shift
has been completed, and that they
are limited to the same sampling
quantity limits as customers. The
council also clarified that Verna
Otto had been hired at Maple Lake
Wine & Spirits as lead clerk and ap-
proved the hiring of Amy LeBeau
as cashier and Ross Hickey as stock
person. It was also agreed that store
manager Carole Bestlands man-
dated vacation should be delayed
until September.
Adopted a resolution approv-
ing changes to the Fire Department
Relief Association bylaws and
voted to appoint Councilmember
Deb Geyen and Mayor Lynn
Kissock to the Associations Board
of Trustees. The council also ap-
proved the hiring of Bill Eckle and
Kurt Larson to the fire department.
Approved the addition of a
Renegade Bassers Fishing Club
sign. They will work with Public
Works Director Jerry Sawatzke on
placement and location.
Set a public hearing for 7 p.m.
June 17 regarding tax abatement for
the Maple Lake Veterinary Clinic.
Authorized televising of main
water lines for warranty inspection.
Adopted a city-state retro-re-
flectivity policy applying to regula-
tory and guide signs.
Proclaimed May 18-24 as Na-
tional Public Works Week, recog-
nizing that public works services
provided in the community are an
integral part of citizens everyday
lives and the support of an under-
standing and informed citizenry is
vital to the efficient operation of
public works systems and pro-
grams. The council also approved
construction of a 50 x 80-foot addi-
tion to the city maintenance build-
ing, at a cost not to exceed $90,981,
and by a 4-1 vote, passed a standing
motion to authorize Sawatzke to
hire part-time lawn mowing help as
needed. Geyen said the item should
be revisited on a regular basis.
Approved a consent agenda
that included a grant application for
exempt permit gambling prem-
ises for the Church of St. Timothy
Sept. 28 at St. Timothy School and
a donation from the Maple Lake
Lions of $2,150 for the Maple Lake
Maple Lake Ambassadors and
$3,000 for the Beach Fund.
The councils next meeting is 7
p.m. Tuesday, June 17.

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!

Thanks to Wright-Hennepin
Cooperative Electric Association
members who participate in Op-
eration Round Up, the program
donated $22,050 to local entities
in April.
ORU participants allow their
electric bills to be rounded up to
the nearest dollar each month.
The rounded amount is then used
for donations to fund local pro-
grams. More than 80 percent of
WHs members participate in the
ORU program. ORUs trust
board of directors manages the
generated money, which is held
in a trust fund. Through a selec-
tion process and review of guide-
lines, the board evaluates
funding requests on a bimonthly
basis.
Donations included $200 for
the Maple Lake Post Prom Party,
$2,000 for Love INC-Big Woods
to support the school supply pro-
gram and $6,000 to the American
Cancer Society to support six
Relay for Life events in Wright

Spring is here and American
Bikers for Awareness, Training,
and Education of Minnesota
would like to remind motorists
that motorcycle riders are back
on the roads.
The number of motorcycles in
Minnesota has grown signifi-
cantly in the past few years and
with increased gas prices it
shows no signs of slowing. Be-
cause motorcyclists are more
vulnerable and more difficult to
see in traffic, it is important for
motorists to watch carefully for
motorcycles. Drivers should take
a second look and pay extra close
attention at intersections where
most car-motorcycle crashes
occur. Motorcyclists also have to
work hard to help ensure that
other drivers see them. Riders
should take responsibility for
their own safety by wearing
brightly-colored protective gear
and using strategic lane position-
ing to see and be seen.
Please remember to slow
down, pay attention and start
seeing motorcyclists.

Diane Hertwig had her
fourth-grade students write what
happiness is to them.
Abby Deyo Happiness is a
mother who takes care of you
when youre sick. It is a doll
when you are lonely. Happiness
is reading a good book when
you are alone and writing when
you are bored. Happiness is a re-
freshing pool on a hot summer
day. Happiness is one thing to
one person and another thing to
another person.
Ethan Grommesch Happi-
ness is hot chocolate and a warm
blanket on a cold winter day and
spring like weather after a long,
cold winter. Happiness is when
your mom kisses you good night
when you are tired, and when
my dog sleeps all night long.
Happiness is a book that you
love to read and is so interesting
that you just cant stop. It is your
teacher helping you when youre
stuck on a math problem. Hap-
piness is one thing to one person
and another thing to another per-
son.

Following a Dassel-Cokato
invitational at Albion Ridges,
where the Irish ladies took sec-
ond and senior Tabitha Latzig
was the meet medalist, the ladies
competed in their last conference
meet at Kimball Country Club.
Senior Maggie Carey led the
Irish for the meet with 45 strokes.
Behind her was Latzig with a 46.
The remaining Irish golfers
scored as follows: junior Vienna
Jude 51, senior Kirsten Kubian
51, senior Kristina Paumen
56 and freshman Ashlee Martie
65.
With the top four scores com-
bined, the Irish left the course
with 193 strokes, just behind Os-
akis, who shot a combined 169.
Behind the Irish was Howard
Lake-Waverly-Winsted with a
combined 222.
With the final conference
meet included, the Irish placed
second in the conference with a
total of 1,340 strokes for the sea-
son. Winning the conference was
Osakis with 1,197 total strokes
and Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa
finished third with 1,452 strokes.
Individually, two Maple Lake
golfers placed all-conference:
Latzig, who finished fourth with
an average of 44 strokes, and
Carey, who finished ninth with
an average of 45.8 strokes.
Im glad our team did so
well under the conditions we
were in, Latzig said. Im sad
that it is our senior year and a lot
of us will be leaving the team this
year.
The Irish will play once more
on Thursday, May 29, for sec-
tions.

Irish boys hope
to keep golfing
by Ashley Becker
Intern
On Tuesday, May 20, the Irish
boys golf team had the opportu-
nity to play at their home course,
Albion Ridges.
Leading the team were sopho-
mores Aidan Jude and Brandon
Borell who each shot 42. Also
scoring in the top four for the
Irish team were senior Jay Elsen-
peter, who scored a 45, and Pey-
ton Beehler, who shot a 50.
The top four scores landed the
Irish in second place for the meet
with a combined score of 179
only behind Rockford, who shot
a combined 166.
"We played ok, we were able
to come in second place at the
meet and remain in third overall
in the conference, coach Aaron
Hegle said. "We need to start hit-
ting our stride because sections is
right around the corner and I
think a couple of guys are starting
to find their swing."
The Irish returned to the
course at Kimball Golf Course on
Thursday, May 22, for their final
conference meet of the season.
Leading the team once again was
Jude who shot a 41. The remain-
ing individual scores are as fol-
lows: Jason Pomije 47, Borell
47, Jordan Mills 48, Elsenpeter
49 and Beehler 50.
With a combined 183 strokes
at Kimball, the Irish finished the
regular season in third place with
a total of 1,258 strokes, just 16
strokes behind Osakis who
landed second place for the con-
ference. Winning the CMC for
boys golf was Rockford with
1,170 strokes.
Individually, sophomores Jude
and Borell were named all-con-
ference after tying for fifth place.
"We took third in the confer-
ence so we reached our goal of
placing in the top three, Hegle
said. It was a successful confer-
ence season and I'm excited for
next year. We have one meet left
next Thursday at Becker for sec-
tions and, hopefully, we can have
a couple guys advance to the sec-
ond day.

The Maple Lake Irish softball
team started the playoffs in domi-
nating fashion with a 24-4 win over
the Litchfield Dragons on Tuesday,
May 20.
Two strikeouts helped stop the
Dragons in the first inning in the
field. Chloe Callahan and Taylor
Pilger both hit doubles to make it
home among their teammates,
bringing in seven runs total.
A play in the field and two more
strikeouts prevented Litchfield
from scoring in the second. Mor-
gan Scheiber, Kelsie Kelm and Pil-
ger all got base hits to later make it
home, bringing the score to 10-0 at
the end of the second.
Several hits led to three runs to
get past the Irish in the third. This
didn't hurt them as they came back
with 12 runs. Kelm, Jenny Brings,
Linsey Rachel and Chloe Callahan
all got hits, contributing to the
score.
There were three up; three
down in the field in the fourth. The
Irish scored two more runs off
walks in the bottom of the fourth.
They stopped Litchfield again with
only one run getting in to finish
with a 24-4 victory.

The Irish took on the Zimmer-
man Thunder in the second round
of playoffs for a 2-1 victory on
Wednesday, May 21.
A single base hit led one run to
get past the Irish in the first inning.
Paige Blizil hit a homrun to tie it up
by the end of the first. The Irish
stopped the Thunder in the second
with three quick outs off ground
hits, but the Irish failed to score as
well.
Kennedy Haney-Goelz threw
three strikeouts in the third. Then,
Jenny Brings hit a double followed
shortly by Blizil, who hit her home.
Zimmerman couldnt score as the
Irish got them out in the fourth. De-
spite base hits, the Irish didn't get
home before they got three outs.
Zimmerman battled in the fifth
but so did the Irish, who didnt
allow them past third base. The
Irish couldnt make it home in the
fifth inning before they were back
in the field for the sixth.
They stopped Zimmerman
again, this time not letting them
past second base. Although they
didnt score in the bottom of the
sixth, they held their lead to finish
with a 2-1 win.

The Irish took a 6-2 loss in the
playoffs against the Watertown-
Mayer Royals on Thursday, May
22.
They started out in the field,
where one run got by them off a hit.
Several hits couldnt get the Irish to
score at bat.
The Irish stopped the Royals
with three outs off of fly hits in the
field in the second. They were also
stopped fairly quickly at bat with-
out scoring. Another run off a sin-
gle got through in the third inning.
Taylor Pilger reached home after a
base hit to bring the score to 2-1 at
the end of the third.
A double play stopped the Roy-
als in the fourth with a caught hit
and a throw to get the base runner
out. The Irish were stopped them-
selves in the fourth without making
it on base.
A base hit got Watertown to
eventually score one run in the fifth
inning. The Irish didnt score in the
fifth despite their hits.
Field work stopped Watertown-
Mayer without scoring in the sixth
inning. The Irish couldnt make it
past third base as they battled in the
bottom of the sixth.
Runners began to get past the
Irish as three runs were scored
against them in the seventh inning.
Linsey Rachel scored off a base hit
and later hit home but not enough
runs were scored at bat in the sev-
enth.

Irish softball
On Tuesday, May 20, the Maple
Lake Irish baseball team hosted the
Annandale Cardinals at Irish Sta-
dium and took an 8-4 loss.
The game started off well for
the Irish after taking a 2-1 lead after
the first inning, when McRae
Haney and Nick Preisinger drove
in a run each. The Irish added to
their lead in the fourth, when they
scored two more runs on another
Haney RBI and an RBI by Cal Re-
demske.
Annandale answered back with
a run in the top of the fifth, making
the score 4-2 in favor of the Irish
heading into the final two innings,
and thats when things came un-
done for the home team.
In the sixth, the Cardinals were
able to score six runs on a combi-
nation of walks and hits, which
gave them an 8-4 lead they would
not relinquish.
Tony Goelz started the game for
the Irish going five innings, giving
up two earned runs on five hits
with seven strikeouts. Dusty Strub
took the loss for the Irish, going
two innings and giving up six runs
(five earned) on three hits with one
strikeout.
This was a tough loss for us,
head coach Brad Baumann said. I
thought we played well for the first
five innings, but we did leave a
bunch of guys on base again when
we were hitting, which has kind of
been an issue all year for us. If we
couldve scored a couple more
times here and there, the outcome
would have probably been differ-
ent.

On Friday, May 23, the Irish
hosted the Paynesville Bulldogs in
the first round of the section 5AA
playoffs. Maple Lake came into the
game as the No. 4 seed while Pay-
nesville was No. 5. Unfortunately
for the Irish, they came away with
an 11-0 season-ending loss.
Senior Landon Caughey took
the mound for the Irish and was
able to retire the first two Pay-
nesville batters. The next two,
however, reached base on singles,
then things went bad for the Irish.
The next Paynesville batter was
able to hit a fly ball that got
knocked down by the wind just
enough to where the Irish fielders
couldnt get to it in time and it
landed for a hit, which scored two
runs, giving Paynesville 2-0 lead.

A delayed start and slow play
made for a long night Wednesday,

Mound Mallards and Maple Lake
Lakers combined for 20 runs in the
first two innings with the Lakers up

nings by throwing six strikeouts
while giving up one run.
On offense, Brian Russell hit

Legal Notices
The City of Maple Lake is issuing
the results of monitoring done on its
drinking water for the period from Jan-
uary 1 to December 31, 2013. The pur-
pose of this report is to advance
consumers understanding of drinking
water and heighten awareness of the
need to protect precious water resources.
Source of Water
The City of Maple Lake provides
drinking water to its residents from a
groundwater source: two wells ranging
from 167 to 172 feet deep, that draw
water from the Quaternary Buried Arte-
sian aquifer.
The water provided to customers
may meet drinking water standards, but
the Minnesota Department of Health has
also made a determination as to how vul-
nerable the source of water may be to fu-
ture contamination incidents. If you wish
to obtain the entire source water assess-
ment regarding your drinking water,
please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-
9318 (and press 5) during normal busi-
ness hours. Also you can view it online
at www.health.state.
mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa.
Call 320-963-3738 if you have
questions about the City of Maple
Lake drinking water or would like in-
formation about opportunities for
public participation in decisions that
may affect the quality of the water.
Results of Monitoring
No contaminants were detected at
levels that violated federal drinking
water standards. However, some con-
taminants were detected in trace
amounts that were below legal limits.
The table that follows shows the con-
taminants that were detected in trace
amounts last year. (Some contaminants
are sampled less frequently than once a
year; as a result, not all contaminants
were sampled for in 2013. If any of these
contaminants were detected the last time
they were sampled for, they are included
in the table along with the date that the
detection occurred.)
Key to abbreviations:
MCLG - Maximum Contaminant
Level Goal: The level of a contaminant
in drinking water below which there is
no known or expected risk to health.
MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MCL - Maximum Contaminant
Level: The highest level of a contami-
nant that is allowed in drinking water.
MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as
feasible using the best available treat-
ment technology.
MRDL - Maximum Residual Disin-
fectant Level.
MRDLG - Maximum Residual Dis-
infectant Level Goal.
AL - Action Level: The concentra-
tion of a contaminant which, if ex-
ceeded, triggers treatment or other
requirement which a water system must
follow.
90th Percentile Level - This is the
value obtained after disregarding 10 per-
cent of the samples taken that had the
highest levels. (For example, in a situa-
tion in which 10 samples were taken, the
90th percentile level is determined by
disregarding the highest result, which
represents 10 percent of the samples.)
Note: In situations in which only 5 sam-
ples are taken, the average of the two
with the highest levels is taken to deter-
mine the 90th percentile level.
ppb - Parts per billion, which can
also be expressed as micrograms per
liter (ug/l).
ppm - Parts per million, which can
also be expressed as milligrams per liter
(mg/l).
N/A - Not Applicable (does not
apply).
If present, elevated levels of lead
can cause serious health problems, es-
pecially for pregnant women and
young children. Lead in drinking water
is primarily from materials and compo-
nents associated with service lines and
home plumbing. The City of Maple
Lake is responsible for providing high
quality drinking water, but cannot con-
trol the variety of materials used in
plumbing components. When your
water has been sitting for several hours,
you can minimize the potential for lead
exposure by flushing your tap for 30
seconds to 2 minutes before using water
for drinking or cooking. If you are con-
cerned about lead in your water, you
may wish to have your water tested. In-
formation on lead in drinking water,
testing methods, and steps you can take
to minimize exposure is available from
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at
http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Monitoring may have been done for
additional contaminants that do not have
MCLs established for them and are not
required to be monitored under the Safe
Drinking Water Act. Results may be
available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-
800-818-9318 during normal business
hours.
Compliance with National
Primary Drinking Water
Regulations
The sources of drinking water (both
tap water and bottled water) include
rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs,
springs and wells. As water travels over
the surface of the land or through the 3,
it dissolves naturally-occurring
minerals and, in some cases, radioactive
material, and can pick up substances re-
sulting from the presence of animals or
from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in
source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as
viruses and bacteria, which may come
from sewage treatment plants, septic
systems, agricultural livestock opera-
tions and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as
salts and metals, which can be naturally-
occurring or result from urban stormwa-
ter runoff, industrial or domestic
wastewater discharges, oil and gas pro-
duction, mining or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which
may come from a variety of sources such
as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff
and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, in-
cluding synthetic and volatile organic
chemicals, which are by-products of in-
dustrial processes and petroleum pro-
duction, and can also come from gas
stations, urban stormwater runoff and
septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which
can be naturally-occurring or be the re-
sult of oil and gas production and mining
activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is
safe to drink, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes reg-
ulations which limit the amount of cer-
tain contaminants in water provided by
public water systems. Food and Drug
Administration regulations establish
limits for contaminants in bottled water
which must provide the same protection
for public health.
Drinking water, including bottled
water, may reasonably be expected to
contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. The presence of contami-
nants does not necessarily indicate that
water poses a health risk. More informa-
tion about contaminants and potential
health effects can be obtained by calling
the Environmental Protection Agencys
Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-
426-4791.
Some people may be more vulnerable
to contaminants in drinking water than
the general population. Immuno-com-
promised persons such as persons with
cancer undergoing chemotherapy, per-
sons who have undergone organ trans-
plants, people with HIV/ AIDS or other
immune system disorders, some elderly,
and infants can be particularly at risk
from infections. These people should
seek advice about drinking water from
their health care providers. EPA/CDC
guidelines on appropriate means to
lessen the risk of infection by Cryp-
tosporidium and other microbial con-
taminants are available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-
4791.

Bouncing back to keep their
playoff hopes alive, the Irish
took a 13-12 subsection win
over the Zimmerman Thunder
in their second game of the day
on Thursday, May 22.
They started out the first in-
ning in the field, where three
runs were scored against them.
Paige Blizil got the bats going
with a single followed by
Chloe Callahan with a home
run to score two runs that in-
ning.
Two base hits led to two
runs scored for Zimmerman in
the second inning. Morgan
Scheibers base hit and Haley
Zappas walk to get on base
got both of them around to trim
the Thunders lead to 5-4 at the
end of the second. In the field,
one run off of a base hit got
through.
The Irish came back with
base hits by Emily Webb and
Jenny Brings and a home run
by Scheiber to hit them all
home.
Two runs against the Irish in
the fourth inning brought the
score to 8-7. The Irish didnt
score in the fourth.
Two singles that led to runs
put Zimmerman up 10-7 in the
fifth inning. Several hits could-
nt get the Irish on base in the
bottom of the fifth.
They stopped Zimmerman
with three quick outs in the
field in the sixth and came
back with base hits by Blizil,
Summer Knudsen and Calla-
han to get on base and get
home along with Linsey
Rachel and Kelsie Kelm for a
12-10 advantage at the end of
the sixth.
Zimmerman managed to
bring in two runs to tie it up in
the seventh. Webb hit a home
run for the Irish to score the
last run they needed to take the
lead in the bottom of the sev-
enth for the 13-12 win.

Irish baseball
Paynesville was able to add two
more runs in the next inning, while
the Irish offense was held in check.
In the third and fourth innings,
Paynesville was able to add one
more run in each inning after a cou-
ple of Irish errors.
With the score 6-0 after four in-
nings, the Irish were hoping to get
back into the game but couldnt get
the bats going and then, in the fifth,
Paynesville tacked on five more
runs, which put the 10-run rule into
effect, and ended Maple Lakes
season.
Caughey took the loss, going
four innings, giving up six runs
(four earned) on eight hits with four
strikeouts. Tony Goelz threw one
inning, giving up five runs (four
earned) on four hits.
Its a tough way to end the sea-
son, Baumann said. We knew
going into the game we were going
to have our hands full. Paynesville
is a really good team and not your
typical No. 5 seed. They had a
record of 12-6, and we knew we
were going to have to play really
well in order to win and we didnt.
Looking back on the season,
even though we didnt accomplish
some of the things we wanted to, it
was still a good year, Baumann
continued. We ended up winning
10 games and finished above .500.
Hopefully, we can build on the
things we did well this year and
learn and get better from the things
we didnt do well for next season.
Baumann also had words for
the players who will not be return-
ing for the Irish.
I also want to thank our four
seniors Landon Caughey, Nick
Gapinski, Sullivan Graham and
Justin Wilson because they were
awesome, Baumann said. They
played their hearts out and did
everything asked of them, and
were a great group of guys to be
around and they will be missed
next year.
The Irish finished the season
with a 10-9 overall record and an
8-6 record in the Central Min-
nesota Conference.
