Maple Lake Messenger Page 2November 13, 2013
I had the opportunity to tune up my eyeballs one day last weekat Gold Meadows with Mike Muller and believe me they need alot of fine-tuning. My hunting associates would readily agreethat most of the time I’m just blowing holes in the sky. My alibiis that I have good days and bad days and so far this fall I seemto be racking up way too many bad days. Both of our dogs, Vanaand Mike’s Lucky, had a great morning with all the birds andscent that was present at the shooting preserve. Lucky is a youngaggressive English Setter and surprised Mike when he retrievedthe pheasants even though he didn’t receive an A+ from thetrainer. Vana ran down one of my cripples, but she was reluctantto bring it back. Both dogs were hot on a crippled rooster in aharvested corn field, chasing it in the weeds with Lucky bringingit back to Mike. I’m hoping Vana will pick up the retrievinghabit learning from Lucky and Daryl Hennen’s Coco. A daytrip to Morris in Friday’s wind with Anna along to keep me com-pany turned out to be kind of an exercise in futility. The windmade it miserable hunting, but Vana did her job and gave meenough points on roosters for a two-bird limit. My miserableshooting hasn’t improved and the one bird that I broke a wingon apparently wasn’t hit very hard and it got away from both meand Vana to add insult to injury. . . I’m toying with theidea of calling it a day when I get two chances and blow themboth! Saturday was backyard cleanup day even though theleaves were still wet from the snow and rain, but on SundayDaryl Hennen and I decided to explore the area west of Milan.We had planned on breakfast at the More Cafe in Milan but itwas closed and the cafe near the river serves breakfast, but theirstove was down and the owner recommended Peg’s Cafe in Ap-pleton where we ended up eating biscuits and gravy. There werelots of deer hunters and a few pheasant hunters out enjoyingthemselves on a day that was warm with little wind. Hennen
harvested a rooster off of Coco’s point in a Walk In Area to getus off to a good start. I had an opportunity in the afternoon whenVana went on point along a fence line in a WMA (Wildlife Man-agement Area). When nothing happened I tapped my gun barrelon the barb wire and the rooster jumped. It looked easy, but nei-ther of my shots were effective. Regardless, I praised Vana forher efforts and rejoined Hennen, but not before flushing sevenhens. Later in the day we found a WIA that wasn’t in the atlas.Hennen was walking the edge of a bean field and had threeroosters flush. He connected on one that fell in the bean fieldand I got a look at the second one he shot at which had one legdangling. Coco went out to retrieve the first bird, which Hennensaid suddenly got up and flew only to die in mid-air and fall intothe grass on the edge of the WIA. Coco apparently didn’t seethe rooster’s resurgence and continued to hunt for the downedbird rather then help us out looking for the dead bird. Vana even-tually found the rooster and stood guard until I picked it up.Finding his second bird was more difficult and we had prettymuch given up and started hunting again when Vana went onpoint and suddenly lunged for the crippled bird which she helddown until I got to her. I’m not sure what the shooting rule booksays on doubles, but after some diligent thought I’ll give Hennencredit for a double, after all he hit both of them. I had one moregolden opportunity that afternoon when Vana gave me anothergreat point, but I let her down. We were pleased with both dogs’efforts and Vana is showing more aggressiveness in her secondyear of hunting with me. I liked the way she handled the crippledbird which didn’t have any teeth gouges in its breast when Idressed it out. . . In the deer hunting department RonRassat and Tom Neu each harvested eight-point bucks on suc-cessive days, Ron on Saturday and Tom on Sunday in FoldenHills Township near Henning in Ottertail County where theyhave a cabin. It’s an area I hunted while growing up, but I’msure they know the area better than me. It was kind of uniquebecause it had an old country school house commonly referredto as the lost schoolhouse. I don’t think the building is stillthere, but there is a road labelled Lost Schoolhouse Road, ap-parently in its memory.
* * * Congratulations to the Irish gridders for your come-from-be-hind win Friday night. Practicing in the snow didn’t look veryappealing last week, but we’re sure it helped get you prepared.Great going guys, and we’re with you all the way!

Good News
The other day at the gym, wehad just finished hearing the rela-tive merits of Silver Sneakers ver-sus Silver & Fit from Tom, theinstructor, when Bob said to me, “Itlooks like we've separated into twoteams here.”
He was right. The people in ourexercise class had split down themiddle, with a dozen on the otherside of the room and a dozen onour side. And the split was bal-anced, with each team having justas many diligent exercisers as fatout-of-shape people with a fear ofdeath by flab.
“I think we should make a teamsport of this,” I said. “Let's split uplike we did in junior high schoolgym class. Those guys on the otherside of the room will be the Skins,and we can be the Shirts. That'show Mr. Rodenborn did it in eighthgrade basketball. Once in awhile aShirt would pull up his shirt and aSkin would mistakenly pass theball to him, but most of us can'tthrow any more, so that wouldn'tbe a problem. Tom always tells ushow bad we are at bouncing balls.”
“Oh, I think it would be a bigproblem,” said Bob. “Not throwingthe ball, but getting the Skins totake off their shirts. Look around.How many of those people wouldyou like to see with their shirts off?
Some of us just ate, you know. Notmany of them would want to takeoff their shirts, either, like thewoman in the black over there. Shestill looks pretty good in a t-shirtand she'd object for sure. Or Ted,who just replaced his pacemakerand has another scar. I can imaginehow that looks, but I'd rather not.”
Some of my ideas won't evercome to pass. I suspect those Skinstake off their clothes in the lockerroom, and what's the harm in goingup to the exercise room that way?After all, they can keep their shortsand sweatpants on. But with peoplewho have seven or eight decades ofexperience—or six, or nine—youcan expect they'd be set in theirways. I don't bother to use the poolat the gym, and don't know if theytreat that the way we did in juniorhigh, where the girls had swimsuits but the boys didn't. Nobodycomplained then. Of course wedidn't swim at the same time, or usethe same locker rooms.
People have bad ideas fromtime to time. Think of the Edsel. OrNew Coca-Cola. Now we can lookback at those ideas and say theywere no good. But at the time, whoknew?
Bob's probably right. I guess I'lldrop the idea. When I go to class, Iusually just ate, too.
It’s hard to believe that I’vebeen the editor of the Maple LakeMessenger for a year.
Monday’s Veterans’ Day pro-gram marked that milestone forme, as it was the first thing I cov-ered a year ago.
Once again, I was impressednot only with the quality of the pro-gram, but the way the students car-ried themselves.
When the veterans were speak-ing, the students listened. When thestudents participated in the eventby reading, reciting the pledge orsinging, I could tell they wereproud to salute veterans.
And, of course the best part iswhen the students went down thereceiving line of veterans, shakingtheir hands and thanking them fortheir service. Speaker Mike Yanishsaid the act meant a lot to him, ashe had not been warmly welcomedhome from Vietnam.
Suffice it to say that the pro-gram was a success.
As I start my second year here,I’ve been reflecting a lot on my firstyear.
The learning curve has leveledout a bit, but it still seems like I amlearning something new everyweek, if not every day.
Some things I have learnedfrom making mistakes.
Among those mistakes was myinclusion of a photo of a vehiclethat was in an accident in lastweek’s paper.
I was happy to report that the in-dividual had escaped without life-threatening injury. That was largelybecause she was wearing a seatbelt,something that should have beenincluded. In fact, the details of theaccident should have been verifiedwith more than one source beforeit was printed.
Furthermore, the photo shouldnot have been printed without per-mission of the individual who hadtaken it.
I sincerely apologize to every-one involved and thank everyonewho contacted me with concerns,as I cannot correct or learn from amistake if I do not know about it.
Thank you for bearing with meas I try to make the paper better.

Question 1: If you are tak-ing a right turn at a light andthe light is red, are you sup-posed to stop? I ask becausemy daughter and I walk every-where and a few times wehave almost been hit by carsturning right while we had thewalk signal.
Answer 1: Yes, driverscoming upon a red light andturning right MUST stop.
Question 2: Are you sup-posed to stop before a stopsign or is it legal to stop past
the stop sign. I have seen a lotof people stop after and intocross walks.
Answer 2: Vehicular trafficfacing a circular redsignal/stop sign alone muststop at a clearly marked stopline but, if none, before enter-ing the crosswalk on the nearside of the intersection or, ifnone, then before entering theintersection and shall remainstanding until legal and safe toproceed through.
Question 3: Are cars sup-
posed to wait for you to be outof a cross walk or can theypass if there is space for themto go by you? These questionsare very important to me as Iwas already hit by a car whilein a park with my daughter. Inow have panic attacks whencars come close to me. So ifthese are legal actions I will beeven more cautious aboutwalking.
Answer 3: Here is what theMinnesota State Statute saysabout pedestrians and vehiclespertaining to crosswalks:“Where traffic-control signalsare not in place or in opera-tion, the driver of a vehicleshall stop to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossingthe roadway within a markedcrosswalk or at an intersection
with no marked crosswalk.The driver must remainstopped until the pedestrianhas passed the lane in whichthe vehicle is stopped. Nopedestrian shall suddenlyleave a curb or other place ofsafety and walk or run into thepath of a vehicle which is soclose that it is impossible forthe driver to yield.”

NOV. 12 REPORT OF THEWRIGHT COUNTY SHERIFF
Chamber hosts craft sale
Maple Lake Fire Department Report
He believes the sharingagreement should continueunder the same state law that al-lows townships to control zon-ing independently of thecounty.
“Joint exercise of powers fa-cilitate more logical, consistentand efficient administration ofshoreland management goals,”Levi quoted from the statute.“Local governments are en-couraged to enter into jointpowers agreements with adja-cent or other similarly situatedbodies of government, includ-ing counties, to jointly admin-ister shoreland managementcontrol.”
He contended that the cur-rent relationship was workingwell and changing it would re-sult in little or no savings.About 60 percent of those wholive on Cedar Lake do not havevoting privileges in CorinnaTownship due to their perma-nent address.
Corinna Township PlanningCommission Chair CharlotteQuiggle shared the oppositeopinion and offered a thoroughcomparison between the town-ship and county as supportingevidence.
“Property owners have toldthe township they’d rather workwith township people who livein their community,” Quigglesaid. “This was overly ap-proved at a crowded 2006 an-nual meeting.”
She said permits could besubmitted 24-7 via a drop boxand said Corinna TownshipPlanning Commission membersare required to make site visitsfor each property prior to a pub-lic hearing while county boardmembers make limited site vis-its.
While county notices areprinted in the Howard LakeHerald-Journal and are notavailable online, CorinnaTownship notices are printed inthe Maple Lake Messenger and
Annandale Advocate and areavailable at www.hometown-planning.com, where landown-ers can also sign up for emailnotices about zoning issues.
“Any subscriber is automat-ically sent an email with thelink to an updated meetingagenda or staff reports on thewebsite,” Quiggle said. “Thisallows property owners to beinvolved with land-use deci-sions no matter where theyare.”
She contrasted that onlineavailability to that of two othertownships that administer allland-use: Middleville Town-ship’s website does not publishmeeting agendas or minutesand Stockholm Township doesnot have a website.
As for regulations, Quigglesaid, “Corinna Township notonly requires a plan for erosionand pollution control duringconstruction, but also a perma-nent stormwater plan prior toreceiving a variance.”
Clearwater Lake PropertyOwners Association PresidentTom Bacon agreed with Quig-gle and said a lake property thatwas sold in 1997 has a septicsystem that is not up to code de-spite a county ordinance requir-ing it to be upon point of sale.
Arv Klemz, who lives onSugar Lake, gave another ex-ample.
“A year and a half ago, theperson who lives next to usstarted cutting trees. I calledBuffalo but, to my knowledge,I got no response,” Klemz said.“This property has a bluff in itand I understand it’s illegal tocut into it. He did cut a roadinto it and cut trees on top of it.I called Corinna and they hadpeople out there within twohours.”
He called the township’s ap-proach “fair and balanced.”
Corinna Township PlanningCommission member TrishTaylor said the committee care-
fully considers each request.“We don’t just send it
through; we look at every-thing,” she said. “We’ve evendenied people a lot of things,which is really hard.”
Barry Schultz, another com-mission member, told thecounty commissioners theywould not be kept out of theloop if the township is givensole responsibility for shore-land zoning.
“We’re an open book,” hesaid. “We just feel we’veearned the right to handle itourselves.”
Kathy Jonsrud, of CedarLake, said she is concernedabout the sustainability of thetownship administering shore-land zoning.
“In Hennepin County, thelast township said, ‘We’re notgoing to do it anymore becauseit’s too expensive,’” Jonsrudsaid. “Also, the quality of peo-ple. We’ve heard tonight aboutthe commitment Charlotte andher group have and the leader-ship Charlotte has brought, butwhat happens if we don’t haveCharlotte?
“The other thing is, as wemove forward, the whole con-cept of making a dispassionatedecision,” Jonsrud continued.“I do believe the county is in abetter position to step back andmake that dispassionate deci-sion.”
Riley added to that discus-sion.
“Ultimately, who’s beencaught in the middle of this isthe taxpayers, citizens and vot-ers of the township,” Riley said.
“Someone brought up beingtaxed twice,” CommissionerChristine Husom added later.“I’m interested about the im-pact on taxpayers.”
Husom and her fellow com-missioners were unable to makea decision at the hearing, butsaid they would do so at a fu-ture public meeting.

That's when he met drummerTony Mazzone, who was theMaple Lake band director in War-ren's final year. Warren went on toteach percussion at Dassel-Cokato, where he met guitaristand bassist Tony Sylverss.
Both Mazzone and Sylversswill be a part of Warren's EP.
In fact, Mazzone's connectionsmade the album possible in thefirst place.
"Tony Mazzone is a friend ofTroy's. He's been a tech for him,"Warren said. "Two years ago, Troywas in town and Tony said, 'Listento this demo.' He really liked it."
Warren was surprised to hearthat Luccketta was listening to hisdemo tracks.
"I said, 'He's what? They're notfinished. Don't share that," Warrenrecalled.
He went on to release an albumwith pop influences, but he wasn'thappy with it.
"I was trying to please otherpeople more than myself," Warrensaid. "It served its purpose, but italso opened my eyes to who I amas an artist and who I want to be."
When Warren was starting tocreate his new project, Mazzoneencouraged him to contact Lucck-etta. The two have been in touchsince and Wagner met Lucckettain his Nashville studio.
"We met up, toured his studio,talked to him, met with a potentialproducer and engineer and hashedout details to get a vibe for whatwe wanted to do," Warren said."As things started to come to-gether, he said, 'I think you shouldwork with Noah Henson as a pro-ducer.'"
Wagner was familiar withHenson as guitarist of the Chris-tian rock band Pillar.
"He's a talented guitarist andproducer," Warren said. "They'reboth in rock bands and we'regoing to do a folk album and Ithink people will be surprised withhow it turns out."
As for the content of thealbum, Warren calls it pop funkthat is influenced by his life expe-riences.
"When I was putting out myalbum, I was hospitalized, whichwas scary for me," Warren said."They weren't sure if I was goingto make it. The day before I wasreleased, our house started on fire.That all happened in a three-weekperiod when I was trying to re-lease an album, so there are a lotof personal elements in the newalbum along with spiritual andlyrical content."
Warren is looking forward tosharing that music, with the helpof online backers, including somewho he does not know.
As of Tuesday morning, 21backers had pledged $1,447.
"It's super cool to see completestrangers say this is a cool projectand they want to be a part of it,"Warren said. "I think that speaksvolumes to what we're doing."

Homes need to betested for radon:late fall and winter best times to test
Every 25 minutes, one personin the U.S. dies from radon-re-lated lung cancer. It is the leadingenvironmental cause of cancerdeaths and the leading cause oflung cancer among non-smokers.More than 21,000 lung cancerdeaths are attributed to radoneach year in the U.S.
Fortunately, the risk is largelypreventable by testing homes andfixing radon problems. More than40 percent of Minnesota homeshave dangerous levels of radongas and state health officials sayevery home should be tested. No-vember is Lung Cancer Aware-ness Month. During the month ofNovember, the Minnesota De-partment of Health is sponsoringradio ads in the Twin Cities to en-courage people to test theirhomes. In addition, MDH haspartnered with local public healthdepartments to make test kitsavailable to local residents at lowor no cost.
Radon is odorless, colorlessand tasteless, so the only way forhomeowners to know if theirhome has radon is to test. Testingis easy, inexpensive and onlytakes 3-5 days. The best time totest is during the heating seasons,but testing can be done year-round. Test kits are available atcity and county health depart-ments, many hardware stores, or
directly from radon testing labo-ratories. A list of participatinghealth agencies and test kit ven-dors can be found on the MDHwebsite at Radon Test Kits.
Tests should be done in thelowest level of the home that isfrequently occupied. Tests shouldnot be done in laundry or utilityrooms, kitchens or bathrooms.Once you have tested, further ac-tion can be taken based upon yourresults. If your home’s level isover 4 piC/L, you should considerverification testing and having aradon mitigation system installed.Anyone interested in mitigatinghis or her home for radon shouldconsult MDH’s list of certifiedRadon Contractors/MitigationService Providers. A new law, theMinnesota Radon Awareness Act,going into effect in January 2014,will require specific and detailedradon disclosure and notificationduring most home sales. Radontests can be incorporated into ahome inspection.
For more information onradon testing and mitigation visitRadon in Minnesota Homes orcall the Minnesota Department ofHealth Indoor Air Unit at 651-201-4601 or 1-800-798-9050. Tosee how radon has affected thelives of cancer patients and theirfamilies visit CanSar - CancerSurvivors Against Radon.

DNR question of the weekQuestion: It seems like
you see more and more wildturkeys these days near urbanareas. Is this just cyclical, or hastheir population shifted?
Answer: Turkeys are an-other species of wildlife thathave adapted to living close topeople. Prohibitions on hunting,the relative lack of predators,and the abundant food sources
found in urban and suburbanareas contribute to high repro-duction and low mortality forturkeys and other wildlife inurban areas.
The preservation of naturalareas, including river corridors,wetlands, parks, and backyardsprovide habitat for manywildlife species that many peo-ple feel contribute to a higherurban quality of life.

to winterOutdoor exercise still a possibilitywhen temperatures drop
When colder weather sets in,some people abandon their out-door fitness routines for the com-fort of indoor gyms and homeexercise equipment. However,walking in the winter and evenjogging, when practical, are notlimited to the warmer months ofthe year. Outdoor conditions canbe a bit treacherous, so safety andcommon sense should alwaysprevail.
FootwearWhile winter walking is a
good way to warm up and get ina workout, it requires differentfootwear than regular walkingshoes. The correct footwear willprovide support, warmth andtraction for traversing variousconditions.
Start by choosing footwearthat is warm. Certain boots andbooties will have a lining that im-proves heat retention. Wearwarm socks and waterproof orwater-resistant shoes. They willprotect against wet, chilled feet ifyou come across slushy puddlesalong the way. Although wet feetmight be merely an inconven-ience other times of the year, invery cold temperatures, a coldand wet body can be susceptibleto hypothermia and even frost-bite.
Look for shoes that have amid-height ankle. This height of-fers support and stability to theankles when walking on uneven
surfaces, such as snow-coveredpaths. Also, should your foot slipon slick pavement, a taller shoewill protect the ankle againstsprains or fractures.
Additionally, choose a shoe orboot that has a thick but not tooheavy sole for better traction onicy areas.
WardrobeLayering is essential when ex-
ercising outdoors in cold weather.You want to ensure that you willbe warm enough, but not toowarm that you begin to sweatand run the risk of hypothermialater on. Dress so that you feelchilled when stepping outdoors,not toasty warm. As your bodywarms up with the exercise, it willreach a comfortable tempera-ture.
A windbreaker is good forblocking chilly, winter winds.Choose a jacket that will movewith your body and not impedewalking stride or jogging ability.Tights or yoga pants that wickmoisture away will insulate yourlegs, and a fleece vest can helpkeep your body's core warmwhen it is particularly cold out-side.
Don't overlook gloves and ahat when walking. These itemswill prevent heat from escapingthrough your extremities.
SafetyWinter conditions may lead to
snowblindness or reduced visibil-ity for drivers. If you will be walk-ing on roads, dress for visibility.Avoid colors that will blend inwith snowy surroundings and optfor bright flashes of color thatmake you more visible, particu-larly at dawn, dusk and night.
Whenever possible, do youroutdoor exercising when the sunis up. You'll benefit from themood-boosting properties of thesun and will have added warmthand visibility. Furthermore, spend-ing time in the outdoor sun en-ables your body to producevitamin D, which helps maintainhealthy bones. Spending timeoutdoors can stave off winterdoldrums and cabin fever.
Exercise with a buddy, whocan help you if you slip or fall onicy surfaces. Walking or runningwith a partner also is a great wayto remain motivated.
If you feel very unstable walk-ing on slippery roads and path-ways, you may want to invest inwinter cleats or crampons thatcan be attached to the undersideof your shoes. These devices offersuperior traction.
Off-roadingIf you want to pack in a more
powerful winter workout, youcan think about walking throughthe snow rather than around it.According to fitness experts atWeight Watchers International,walking in packed snow increasesthe calories burned by 60 per-cent compared to walking on apaved road. Walking in soft snowtriples the calories burned com-pared to walking at the samespeed on a treadmill. In addition,the added resistance of the snowcan firm and tone muscles.
Purchase snow shoes orcross-country skis and poles tofacilitate walking in the snow. Forthose who want to forego struc-tured exercise, simply having funin the snow, by trekking up amountain when sledding or hav-ing a snowball fight with the kids,is a great way to exercise out-doors in the winter.
There is no need to packaway exercise clothing for thewinter season. With the rightequipment and know-how, winterlovers can still spend adequatetime outdoors once the mercurydrops.

When sensitive oak, elm, fruit and nut trees are trimmed in the summer, it leaves them susceptible to disease.
That’s why the cold winter months are a good time to care for those sensitive trees.
Winter is a great time to trim trees
Because trees are dormant in the winter, this prevents the potential of disease after trimming.

More than 90 essays from stu-dents at the Maple Lake Elemen-tary and St. Timothy’s Schoolentered the Patriot’s Pen essaycontest this year to answer“What patriotism means to me.”Pencil Pride is featuring the twowinning essays from JenniferDesMarais-Holland’s sixth-grade language arts class atMaple Lake Elementary.
Bellah Schuette Patriotismmeans being loyal to one’s coun-try. It means having devoted lovefor our soldiers and for what theydo to keep America a free coun-try. They are the ones willing todie to keep America free. AsGeorge S. Patton once said,
“The soldier is the Army. Noarmy is better than its soldiers.The soldier is also a citizen. Infact the highest obligation andprivilege of citizenship is bearingarms for one’s country.” Patriot-ism is not what your country cando for you; it’s what you can dofor your country.
Veterans are willing to die forus to have freedom. Imaginewhat life would be like if we did-n’t have an army, we maybewould be ruled by another coun-try with different laws and be-liefs. These soldiers put theirlives on the line for America.Soldiers think it’s worth fightingfor America. If a family memberhas died while serving, that fam-ily member is extravagant.
Jimmy Stewart once said “Itmay sound corny, but what iswrong with wanting to fight foryour country? Why are peoplereluctant to use the word patriot-ism?”
My Grandpa was in the army,his name is Elmer Fred Schuette.He was drafted in April of 1954and served in the army untilMarch of 1956. He was at Pep-perrell Air Force Base St. John’s,Newfoundland. While he wasthere his work was maintainingand fixing the roads.
Soldiers are strong heartedpeople. Learning about whatthey do for our country makesme want to do the same. When Iwatch videos of the soldierscoming home it makes me feelhappy. Veterans aren’t just peo-ple they are heroes. God Blessour troops. Soldiers are one of akind. Thinking way back whenthe first battle happened I feelamazed at those people today.They are true examples of Patri-
otism. Logan Weninger Patriotism
means to be loyal and to loveyour country. It’s an honor to bea patriot. When you hold yourhand on your heart withoutmessing around when someone’ssinging the National Anthem,that’s a true patriot.
Patriotism is significant to usall. Ronald Reagan once said, “Ifwe love our country, we alsolove our Countrymen.” In otherwords, if we didn’t have patriot-ism our people would be mis-chievous and we wouldn’t befree. When it’s Veterans Day weare asked to celebrate what theydid for our country. That’s patri-otism.
To me patriotism means to beloving and loyal by supportingyour country. Those are specificexamples that show me how tobe a patriot. Ronald Reagan said,“If we ever forget that we are oneNation under God then we willbe a nation gone under.” Moreexamples that show patriotismare treating each other with re-spect, understanding and follow-ing laws, and respecting andputting up an abundance ofAmerican flags. When it’s Veter-ans Day you can show howmuch you respect your countryby putting a flag up outside yourhouse.
During an interview with myGrandpa Frank I learned he wasin the Navy from 1961-1965. Hewas an engineman second class.He was on the USS Hornet cvs-12 ship. He worked on diesel en-gine generators that producedelectricity on the ship. If the shiplost electrical power, the genera-tors would come on. His job wasimportant because the shipsneeded electricity. He explainedthere were 1,000 kilowatts pergenerator in the front and back ofthe ship. My Grandpa went ontwo cruises while in the Navywhich included Hawaii, Japan,China, and the Philippines. Afterinterviewing my Grandpa, Iquickly learned that he was aman who showed patriotism. Ididn’t know exactly what he didas a member of the Navy then,but I do now.
Patriotism to me means goingabove and beyond what is ex-pected of a person for their coun-try. Let’s all show patriotism byhonoring our county each andevery day.

Irish volleyball season ends at state tournament
by Jesse WohlrabeSports Writer
The Maple Lake Irish volley-ball team has played hard all sea-son to achieve their goal ofreturning to the state tournament.This goal was reached when theIrish defeated Park Center to winthe title of 5AA Section Champi-ons. They advanced to state andplayed at the Xcel Center Nov. 7and 8.
Once a team is in the tourna-ment they play at least two gamesbecause it is double elimination.Maple Lake played its first gameagainst the Kasson-MantorvilleKomets. To start game one, theKomets had an early led. Theywere strong at the net, with hardhits and consistent blocks. TheIrish had many great digs but someput Maple Lake out of formationforcing them to pass the ball over
the net. Kasson-Mantorville tookadvantage of the Irish being out offormation and played the ball backquickly and aggressively, scoringenough points to win 25-20.
In game two, Maple Lake hadto find different ways to score be-cause their hits were gettingblocked. The effort was alwayspresent but, because the Irishweren't hitting as often, they werenot as aggressive as they couldhave been. Maple Lake also lostgame two 25-17.
The Irish came out strong ingame three. Their serves were con-sistent and strong and the Kometswere slowed down and weakenedbecause they weren't as strong ofpassers. This was an advantage tothe Irish and helped them stayahead for most of the game.Within game three there were longrallies where both teams madesome great plays. In the end, theKomets had won more of thoselong rallies and won the game 25-21.
'We played tough and playedwith heart. We gave it our best and
played as a team," junior EmilyWebb said after they had lost theirfirst match.
The next day, the Irish playedthe Dassel-Cokato Chargers. Pre-viously in the season, the Irish hadlost to Dassel-Cokato in threegames.
"We had lost to them earlier inthe season but, as a team, we haveimproved since then and the gamewas much closer than the previousone," said eighth grader LinseyRachel.
In game one, both teams cameout aggressively. The Irish knewthe Chargers were strong hittersand they were prepared for it. TheIrish were quick on the net andblocked very well. However, Das-sel-Cokato won more battles at thenet and won 25-17.
Maple Lake battled hard almosttaking game two, but came up justshort, losing 27-25. The Irishserved strong as always and con-tinued to block at the net. TheChargers had a strong defense onthe Irish hits that stopped themfrom scoring the last few points
needed to win.In game three, Dassel-Cokato
noticed they were getting beat atthe net by the Irish, so they madesome changes. They mixed up alot of their sets, which made it dif-ficult for Maple Lake to block aswell. When Maple Lake couldn'tblock, it made it difficult to controlother aspects of the game. TheIrish played tough but lost 25-15.
Maple Lake lost both matchesbut fought hard in each, playingwith heart and putting all their ef-fort into every game. Maple Lakefinished their season strong andhad a winning season.
"It was fun to be able to expe-rience going to state three years ina row and to be able to end mysenior year at Xcel," senior KelsieKelm said.

This week’s MapleLake Irish activities
Those adjustments started topay off early in the second half.
Pine Island kicked off toMaple Lake, who marched downthe field and concluded the drivewith an 11-yard pitch run byStrub.
"On the ensuing kickoff, he(the Pine Island returner) stum-bled and touched his knee downon the one-yard line," Knudsensaid. "They got into trouble andhad to punt, which gave us ashort field."
The green and black capital-ized on the field position whenNic Paumen pounded in a one-yard run for a 21-10 lead.
In the third quarter, Pine Is-land ran six plays, compared to28 for the Irish.
Some of those plays began alengthy drive that ended early inthe fourth quarter with a two-yardtouchdown run by Cal Redemskefor the final score of 28-10.
"We were very happy with theway we played and tackled,"Knudsen said. "They were a goodpassing team and we held theirNo. 1 receiver to no catches,which was good."
Overall, the Irish held Pine Is-land to 110 receiving yards on 5-23 passing and 119 rushing yardson 27 attempts. Meanwhile, theyput up 318 rushing yards and fourtouchdowns on 49 attempts.
Strub (126 yards and twotouchdowns on eight carries) andRedemske (105 yards and onetouchdown on 20 carries) led theway for Irish backs. Paumen (18
yards and a touchdown on sevencarries), Trevor Borell (38 yardson five carries) and LandonCaughey (31 yards on nine car-ries) rounded out the balancedrushing attack.
On defense, Strub and Pau-men led the Irish tacklers withfive tackles and three assistseach. Nick Gapinski (four tack-les, three assists), Trevor Paumen
(three tackles, five assists and asack), Redemske (three tackles,two assists), Borell (three tackles,one assist), Lucas Fobbe (twotackles, three assists), DominicKaley and Josh Gindele (onetackle, six assists each), DamianKaley (one tackle, five assists andone sack), Derek Reller (onetackle, five assists) and DevinLowers (one tackle, two assists)added to the defensive attack.
"I told them I was proud ofthem as always," Knudsen said.
Now, the focus turns to Min-neota/LH, who has scored in the70s twice.
"They're a very big and phys-ical team," Knudsen said. "Theydo a lot of running but mix it upa bit. They have a big runningback that breaks a lot of tackles.It's going to be a challenge. Theyhave two 300-pound linemen.
"We just need to focus on thegame itself, practice hard andwatch a lot of film," Knudsencontinued. "That's how we getbetter. … We need to work hard,be physical like our opponent andnot turn the ball over and we'll beOK."

New WrightCounty websitecoming soon
by John HollerCorrespondent
Anyone who has seen theWright County website has im-mediately noticed that it is es-sentially the same format that itwas when Wright County firstwent online more than 15 yearsago. Anyone attempting to finda service or information fromthe website has often been frus-trated. At the Nov. 5 meeting ofthe Wright County Board ofCommissioners, the process ofchanging that took a big stepforward.
Information Technology Di-rector Bill Swing came beforethe board to present the bidsfrom three vendors that were fi-nalists for the website redesign.The board approved the pro-posal from CivicPlus, a com-pany with experience workingwith many counties and citiesthroughout the country, includ-ing St. Paul, St. Cloud andAnoka, Washington, Blue Earthand Crow Wing counties inMinnesota.
“Our evaluation teamscreened six responses for ourproposal and narrowed it downto three,” Swing said. “Specifi-cations had been sent out to 29vendors and we got some verystrong responses.”
What pushed CivicPlus overthe top was due to its experiencewith county and city websites,its strong track record of per-formance and its willingness tomake updates and changes tothe design of the website asneeded in the future.
“After all was said and done,we approved going into negoti-ations with CivicPlus. Therewere several factors involved,but of their many positives, hav-ing an imprint in Minnesotawith similar counties and citiesof our size was an important fac-tor.”
The expectation is to havethe new website design ready toroll out early next year.

For the first time in school his-tory, the Maple Lake Irish footballteam will be playing in the statesemifinal game. With a 28-10 winover Pine Island, the Irish earnedthe right to play Minneota/LH at 2p.m. Thursday at the Metrodome.
Early in the contest, it did notlook like that would be the case.
Pine Island's first drive endedwith a 51-yard run for an early 7-0lead. Then they added a 45-yardfield goal that hit the cross bar andbounced over to go up 10-0.
The Irish responded with amonster run of their own, whenDusty Strub took a backfield toss78 yards to pay dirt.
"As soon as he got around theedge, he outran everybody," coach
Tim Knudsen said.So, instead of going into half-
time down two scores, the score-board read 10-7.
"Only being down three pointsat halftime, we felt really good,"Knudsen said. "We made a fewadjustments at halftime in whatwe wanted to do."

involve everyone in the experiencewith the rewards they get," Warrensaid. "It's not every day that some-one from small town Minnesotagoes to Nashville. We want to takethem on the journey. We'll be blog-ging and posting videos and showwhat it's like to make a record inNashville with some pretty coolrock stars."

Should Corinna Townshipsolely administer shoreland zon-ing authority? The WrightCounty Board of Commissionersmet as a committee of a whole ata public hearing with about 50constituents to gather opinionsabout the issue.
Corinna Township ZoningAdministrator Ben Oleson sharedthat the township has been dis-cussing the issue since late 2005and has been administeringshoreland zoning controls forthree years under temporaryagreements with Wright County.
“The criteria is that the town-ship must be at least as restrictiveas the county and the administra-tion has to be as effective,” Ole-son said.
He believes the townshipmeets those requirements be-cause the township has the samezoning map as the county, hemakes regular site visits to everyproperty and works with a town-ship attorney on enforcementmatters, staff receives regulartraining and all zoning informa-tion is available online.
“I believe we have a goodmodel,” Wright County Planningand Zoning Administrator SeanRiley said later of the sharingagreement. “We’re enforcingstate-level regulations and havingtownship input as a key part ofthe process is a good model. Wehave professional staff, are alsosincere and want to protect the re-sources and not play favorites.”
Several residents spoke out onboth sides of the issue.
“County government will al-ways be in a better position to ad-minister planning and zoning ofavailable resources,” said DaveLevi, who lives on Cedar Lake.

"One of our people whoshould have been here today thatcould not is a prisoner of war,was a prisoner of war or is stillunaccounted for," Yanish toldthose gathered at a Veterans Dayevent Monday in the MapleLake High School auditorium."We walk and talk for those whoare unaccounted for."
Yanish, of the Wat-Kim-Val-ley POW MIA Honorguard, saidthe group formed when he andfellow veterans were wonderingwhat it would be like as a familyto send a son to war and neverknow their whereabouts.
