Election 2014
As the General Election on November 4 approaches, the Messenger
will be featuring candidate answers to a questionnaire regarding
background, reasons for seeking office and opinions on the chief
issues facing local residents.
Two candidates run for sheriff
Stacy Braun and Joe Hagerty (incumbent) are running for Wright County Sheriff
Joe Hagerty
My name is Joe Hagerty and I live in St.
Michael with my family, where I was born, raised
and educated in STMA schools. I continued my
education at the University of Minnesota, North
Hennepin Community College and completed my
degree at St. Cloud State University. I also com-
pleted a law enforcement skills course in Alexan-
dria, MN, followed by passing the licensing exam
(POST) to practice law enforcement in Minnesota.
I was hired by Sheriff Darrell Wolff in the fall of
1985 and served in several positions throughout
my 29 year career with the Wright County Sheriff's
Office.
Reason for running for the office of sheriff? I
am completing my first 4-year term as Sheriff of
Wright County and thoroughly enjoy serving our
citizens. I remain dedicated, energetic and passion-
ate about providing public safety services to our
residents and visitors and enjoy coordinating part-
nerships with the public we serve. I was well pre-
pared for this position by our three previous
sheriffs: Darrell Wolff, Don Hozempa and Gary
Miller, to fill their large shoes and I enjoy my duty.
Chief issues during upcoming term: Continua-
tion of enlisting assistance from the public in de-
terring and solving criminal activity as well as
continuing our focus on traffic, school and per-
sonal safety.
Highway Dept. preparing
for winter snow season
by John Holler
Correspondent
It may be mid-October, but
the Wright County Highway De-
partment is gearing up, much like
chain stores are in prep mode
now for the holiday shopping
season. The only difference is
that the highway department
doesnt know when the rush is
coming.
Wright County Highway En-
gineer Virgil Hawkins was on the
Oct. 7 agenda of the Wright
County Board of Commissioners
to get approval of contracts to
supply road salt to three cities and
one township. In the next couple
of weeks, salt mined in Louisiana
will arrive that fills the storage
sheds for what they hope will be
enough to for the winter snow
season. Thats the hope, but
storms are impossible to project
months in advance.
You cant predict how a win-
ter season is going to hit,
Hawkins said. A few years ago,
we had what was called an Un-
winter. People were golfing in
December. Last year, we had the
worst winter I can remember in
20 years of working with the
county. It seemed like it stormed
every weekend and our plows
were out on the roads con-
stantly.
Maintenance Superintendent
Steve Meyer is in his 30th winter
working winter roads in Min-
nesota and his 19th in Wright
County. He oversees 21 plow
routes and said, as storms ap-
proach, the fleet is ready to take
to the roads when travel isnt ad-
vised.
Our trucks are usually set up
to be ready to go before a storm,
Meyer said. When we know a
storm is coming, we will load up
the trucks the day before and be
prepared for it when it comes.
Depending on the type of storm
and the weather, we may pre-treat
roads. That helps reduce the com-
paction that we get on the road. A
lot of times, when the snow
comes, we plow it, but it is so
compacted that there is still a
layer of snow on the road. Treat-
ing it helps keep it loose.

Stacy Braun
Although I was born in Minneapolis, I have
called Wright County my home for the past 36
years. I lived in Otsego and Albertville before
buying my current home in Monticello. I have the
privilege of calling many of the residents and busi-
ness owners in Wright County my friends. I also
have family members in this community, including
my mother. I have never been married and do not
have any children. I volunteer my time with the
Special Olympics. I support the local food shelf,
Little League Baseball and the Girl Scouts of
America. I am a member of the United States Po-
lice Canine Association, the Minnesota Police and
Peace Officers Association, the Hennepin County
Sheriffs Deputies Association, the Fraternal Order
of Police, and the Minnesota State Association of
Narcotics Investigators.
I have had a well-rounded career with the Hen-
nepin County Sheriffs Office since 1993. During
my 21 years in law enforcement and public safety,
I have had varied assignments including: the adult
detention division, the training division, the nar-
cotics unit, the service division, the patrol division,
the K9 unit, and the employee development divi-
sion. Each assignment included specialized train-
ing and professional development and experience.

Elementary is a
reward school
by Brenda Erdahl
Correspondent
Maple Lake Elementary
School is one of the highest per-
forming Title 1 schools in the
state according to the results of
a Minnesota Department of Ed-
ucation accountability system
that measures proficiency, stu-
dent growth and achievement
gap.
Earlier this month, MLE staff
received word that they had at-
tained Rewards status for the
third year in a row. The designa-
tion means the school is ranked
in the top 15 percent of all Min-
nesota schools receiving Title 1
dollars.
That is saying a lot since the
state gives Title 1 aid to more
than 2,000 schools state-wide
that have high numbers or per-
centages of children from low-
income families.
Were very proud, MLE
principal Kris Harlan said, at-
tributing the schools success to
a collaborative effort from
super dedicated staff.
Its not just the teachers,
she said. We have wonderful
paras who are always looking
for ways to do things better,
tremendous family support and
awesome volunteers including
foster grandparents. Its been a
collaborative effort of the whole
school community.
According to the MDE web-
site, the state put into effect the
Multiple Measurements Ratings
system three years ago. Based
on those results, schools can fall
into five groups, Reward, Cele-
bration Eligible, Continuous Im-
provement, Focus and Priority.
Maple Lake has been in the
top group since the beginning,
representing the highest-per-
forming schools on the four do-
mains in the MMR. According
to the MDE website, the plan is
to share practices from schools
like Maple Lake with Priority
and Focus schools which are
considered to be struggling and
are eligible to receive more sup-
port and funding.
The Celebration Eligible
group is the 25 percent of
schools just below Reward
schools, and schools in the Con-
tinuous Improvement category
are identified as the bottom 25
percent of Title I schools that
have not already been identified
as Priority or Focus.
According to the 2014 MMR
results, 217 schools attained
Celebration status while 131
earned Reward status. Of those
131 Reward schools, sixty
earned the honor three times.
The results also showed 155
Minnesota schools in the two
lowest tiers.
Harlan shared the good news
with the staff at MLE with a cel-
ebratory ice cream treat to say
thank you for all their hard
work, she said.
Meanwhile Marty Kiebel, a
music teacher at MLE, has been
busy designing a banner that will
hang in the gym similar to the
banners that hang there now to
celebrate athletic success. Har-
lan plans to hang a banner for
each year they received the Re-
ward School honor and any they
may receive in the future.
She hopes eventually to have
a long line of banners decorating
the school gym walls.
It is a standard we would
like to hold ourselves to and
maintain, she said.
Maple Lakes elementary principal, Kris Harlan proudly
adds 2014 to the Maple Lake Elementary Reward
School banner located in the elementary school entry.

MLEs Book Fair which ran from October 8-15, gave kids a chance to browse the book
fair and pick out their favorite items. It also gave teachers a chance to put their favorite
books on their classroom wish list. Parents could either give the kids money to pur-
chase books or they were able to go through the book fair during conferences and buy
books for their children or for classrooms. Kath Heffron, elementary librarian, helped
coordinate the book fair. (Photos by Michele Pawlenty)

Wright Countys Zero
Growth Budget Policy
After reading in last weeks
paper the repeated claims that
the Wright County government
(WCG) has had a zero-growth
policy in place for 6 years and
that in this time period, the
countys levy has not increased,
I went out to the countys new
web-site and searched for some-
thing that I could use to check
the accuracy of the claim.
After few minutes of search-
ing on the countys web-site, I
was able to find two documents
on the Budgets, Payroll & Fi-
nancial Reporting tab that pre-
sented Levy information for
years 2012, 2013, and 2014. I
was not able to find information
for any other years until I re-
membered that the annual
budget resolutions are also con-
tained in the Commissioner
Board meeting minutes.
So, I began sifting through
the December (budget resolu-
tions are usually passed in De-
cember) meeting minutes for
years 2011, 2010, and 2009 and
was able to find the resolutions
and the information I needed to
be able to verify the 6-year,
zero growth claim. I then cre-
ated a spreadsheet of the last 10
years of Certified Levy informa-
tion (available at www.mcgre-
gorforcommissioner.org/pages/s
pendingandgrowth.aspx) so that
I was able to see at a glance how
much the countys levy has in-
creased, if at all.
Then it struck me. Why are
taxpayers required to go through
this amount of effort simply to
find out where their county gov-
ernment stands financially? An-
other question or realization
came to mind. How many tax-
payers are going to take the time
to go through the steps that I
went through to simply get to the
point where some type of under-
standing is even possible? I be-
lieve that not many will take the
time nor make the effort, nor
should they have to.
As someone who has been
interacting with WCG for over
three years, I have repeatedly
bumped up against the limitation
of not being able to obtain mean-
ingful financial information. Ob-
taining financial data is one
thing. Compiling that data into
information, something that pro-
vides understanding, is a com-
pletely different story. I believe
that this needs to change.
As the days have been getting cooler Im noticing increased ac-
tivity by Vanna on our walks in Ney Park. She seems to be in her fall
hunting mode which is fine with me. When she picks up an air scent
(like shes doing in the above photo), I anxiously wait for something
to fly, but that doesnt always happen. It could be an old scent or
something else that was attracting her nose. She didnt have her left
front leg bent at the knee, another part of a classic point. We saw a
flock of six Sandhill cranes which are the most Ive seen in the park.
There are some pheasants in the park which makes our walks more
entertaining, but they are the exception not the rule. Jerry Carlson
has been seeing a few roosters in the township road adjacent to the
park when he takes the back roads to the Silver Creek Sportsmens
Park. I didnt get out pheasant hunting on the opener, but hope to
later this week.
I attended a funeral for my sister-in-law Carol Ann Brutlag last
Tuesday at Ottertail. A cancer victim, she and my brother Marlin,
were career elementary school teachers in Lutheran Schools Michi-
gan and retired in Minnesota in 1996. Both of them were diligent bird
watchers and I suspect Marlin will keep the bird feeders full. Her fu-
neral card pictured a hummingbird feeding on flowers which was
very thoughtful.
On the way to Ottertail, I noticed some ducks, but more geese, on
some of the ponds along the freeway. I hoped to see a pheasant roos-
ter or two, but that didnt happen and the only pheasant was a hen
road kill hen near Miltona. I came back on Hwy. 10 and came across
flashing red and blue lights just east of New York Mills where a semi
lost its flat bed and a load of those big round bales which were in
the ditch. There apparently was a fire because the firemen were there
with a dump tank of water. Other than that it was an uneventful ride
home under a brilliant moon. I missed the full eclipse the following
morning, but the TV pictures of the blood moon were spectacular.
Not wanting to mow the grass Thursday and finding my fishing
companions occupied (Daryl Hennen hunting ducks in ND, Mike
Muller hunting anything legal that moved in Canada, George Palmer
relaxing and leaf watching in the Lutsen area, and Jack Treadwell
not available for the day), I elected to go it alone with my faithful
companion Vanna. It was a cool day with a breeze out of the north-
west, but my ice-fishing clothing kept me warm as we trolled and
drifted for walleyes. We got on the lake about 10 a.m. and had several
bites that may have been walleye. By 3 p.m. with no fish in the
livewell we started heading back toward our landing, fishing what
looked like likely spots along the way. We noticed a pontoon that
seemed to be drifting unoccupied and found out there was no one
aboard, dead or alive. Figuring it would be a hazard when the sun
went down so we called 911 and gave them the license number and
they notified the owner, although I didnt see anyone retrieve the pon-
toon.
One of the spots I tried had yielded two walleyes in a matter of
about five minutes, one 18 inches and the other one about 15. Being
the eternal optimist I figured I hit the honey hole, but that didnt hap-
pen even though I spent another half hour trying to find them with a
hook and fathead for bait. I loaded my boat about 5:30 p.m. and two
other anglers were waiting to launch the units for an evening of fish-
ing. This may have been my last trip until we get some hard water.
Besides I cant let the lawn go forever!

Ten Good Reasons to Settle
Your Divorce

Like death and taxes, divorce
is a fact of modern life. The
court has been ordering that par-
ties meet with an early neutral
evaluator or mediator early in a
case to avoid expending most of
the familys financial resources
on attorneys fees, court costs
and expert witness fees. It is
helpful to have a neutral family
lawyer tell the parties the facts
of life, that is, what the judge
would likely rule if their case
went to trial. Here are ten good
reasons to settle your divorce or
custody and parenting time dis-
pute prior to the financial and
emotional expense of a trial:

Is Hope and Change
Working For You?
If you are happy with the lib-
eral policies in the last six years,
then keep sending the same lib-
erals to St. Paul and Washington
this November for more Hope
and Change
The same people these liberal
proclaim to be helping are going
to the dumps. The middle class
is sliding further and further
down the economic food chain
with no hope in sight.
In the last 6 years, more folks
are on food stamps, more folks
are on disability, more folks
have left the workforce, more
folks are on welfare and more
folks are working part-time jobs.
This is not the right path for our
country and state.
Obamacare was designed and
voted in entirely by liberals with
the promise that you could keep
your doctor and your insurance
plan. Didnt happen. We were
told that each household would
save $2500 / year. Didnt hap-
pen. It was a pack of lies. MN-
SURE was a complete failure
and implemented by liberals.
Over $40 million of your tax-
payer money. Billions at the
federal level and counting.
I am dismayed with the lib-
eral policies of defeatism, re-
treat, lack of accountability,
serial blundering and downright
lying.
Your vote on November 4th
is very important. If you are sat-
isfied with this Hope and
Change, then keep sending the
liberals and their liberal policies
to St. Paul and Washington.
This country is on the wrong
track and we can do a lot better.
Your vote is very important!

Pets Left in Vehicles
Question: Thank you for
your informative columns in
various Minnesota newspapers.
I have clipped many of them
out to prove to my younger,
know it all brother, that he is
wrong! Here is question I have
not seen raised. Is it "legal" to
leave your dog in a car (sum-
mertime) with a/c and car run-
ning but locked? We
occasionally will do this while
grabbing a quick bite to eat or
running a fast errand.
Asnswer: You are correct,
this is a question I have not
been asked in my articles. Min-
nesota State Statute 346.57
says, A person may not leave a
dog or a cat unattended in a
standing or parked motor vehi-
cle in a manner that endangers
the dog's or cat's health or
safety. A peace officer, as de-
fined in section 626.84, a hu-
mane agent, a dog warden, or a
volunteer or professional mem-
ber of a fire or rescue depart-
ment of a political subdivision
may use reasonable force to
enter a motor vehicle and re-
move a dog or cat which has
been left in the vehicle in viola-
tion of subdivision 1. A person
removing a dog or a cat under
this subdivision shall use rea-
sonable means to contact the
owner of the dog or cat to
arrange for its return home. If
the person is unable to contact
the owner, the person may take
the dog or cat to an animal shel-
ter.
This is a good question as it
could be a bit of a gray area
with the situation you describe.
The law addresses the issue of
the unattended pet in a stand-
ing or parked motor vehicle
but also states a manner that
endangers the dog's or cat's
health or safety. You mention
that the dog is left in the run-
ning car with the air condition-
ing on and doors locked. I see
a few issues:
How do we know the air
conditioning is working?
Where is owner of the ve-
hicle and when are they coming
back?
What if the vehicles en-
gine quits running, or runs out
of fuel?
I would advise any pet
owner to err on the side of cau-
tion and always look out for
your pets well-being and
safety.

This is how things have gone
for our Family. Listed Below is
just the tip of the Ice-Berg on

Every bit of Information that
we gave to the Sheriff was
deemed neither credible nor fac-
tual. How do you know if you
Don't look into it. How would
you feel if One of these were
your Child. I hope you never
have to walk in our shoes.
I, Bob Guimond was at
Brian's , Josh's Guimond Dad's
home going thru things from
Josh's dorm room. I asked Brian
if he had heard anything from
Dave Hoechen lead Detective
lately and Brian said no. I said
lets call him up and see how
things are going. -----this call
was at 12:35pm on 11-30-2002.
We were aksing questions about
various things, when Dave out
of the blue said
"--- IF YOU KEEP ASKING
QUESTIONS WE DON'T
HAVE TO DO ANYTHING."--
-- THIS WAS ONLY 20 DAYS
INTO THE INVESTIGATION.
That ended the call!!!
12-23-2002 Dave Hoeschen
Lead Detective stated any out-
side persons will only hurt the
case. Again on 11-3-2010 A Det.
Victor Weiss Stated the same as
Dave Hoechen any outside per-
sons will only hurt the case.
In closing I hope and Pray
you will vote for Mark Bromen-
schenkel, Its time for a change.
Pray for all the Familys listed
above. Thank you.

Fire Department Report
County Board
continued from page 1
The dangers of winter driving
are things that seem to fade from
the memory from year to year.
The first winter storm of the sea-
son is typically defined by the
numbers of cars that get in acci-
dents or end up in ditches. The
early storms are the most danger-
ous, Meyer said, because they
tend to see a significant tempera-
ture drop.
The worst is when you have
a storm that starts as drizzle, turns
to snow and then the temperature
drops below zero afterward,
Meyer said. Salt and de-icers
work better when its warmer.
When it gets really cold, it makes
it much more difficult to get snow
off the road.
Wright County, because its ge-
ographical diversity, has two dis-
tinct styles of plowing. In rural
areas, blowing and drifting snow
becomes the bigger issue. In the
urban areas, especially those with
numerous stop lights or slow-
downs in traffic, black ice a
light film that gets in tires and
coats the roads from exhaust
fumes can create slippery spots
that are dangerous to navigate
when warm tires hit the cold sur-
face.
If I had my choice, I would
rather drive in poor visibility than
on black ice, Meyer said. With
the ethanol in the gas we use in
the winter, its the most danger-
ous in areas where there is stop-
and-go traffic. Theres so much
moisture coming out of the
tailpipes that it gets into the warm
wheel tracks of tires and thats
where black ice forms. All that
moisture is falling on the roads
and it freezes almost immedi-
ately.
Last winter, Wright County
endured the most brutal combina-
tion of snow and cold for an elon-
gated period that even people like
Meyer and Hawkins, who have a
combined 50 years of experience,
have ever witnessed. It helped the
highway department deal with its
equivalent of a 100-year flood.
Theyve seen the worst and
learned from it.
Over the course of the whole
winter, yes, it was the worst Ive
seen, Meyer said. Usually we
have periods that are tough and
then it kind of gives us a break.
Last winter, it just coming and
coming and coming and never
quit. It went almost into April.
But, as Minnesotans brace for
the coming storm season and
reacquaint themselves with driv-
ing in conditions that are far less
than ideal, there is a positive to
take from it. Statistics tell us that
the polar vortex that hung over us
last year likely wont strike twice.
The good news, I guess, is
that history tells us that we dont
get back-to-back winters as se-
vere as last years was, Hawkins
said. Hopefully that will hold
true.
Hopefully.
In other items on the Oct. 7
agenda, the board:
* Set a public hearing for 6
p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20 to discuss
the significant repairs that are
needed on County Ditch 38 along
Hwy. 12 between Montrose and
Waverly. The ditch was con-
structed in 1918 and has fallen
into disrepair due to age and de-
velopment in the area. The board
received a report from ditch
viewer Ron Ringuist that re-de-
termined the benefitted landown-
ers along the ditch. Under state
law, counties are the ditch author-
ity, but any costs for repairs are
charged back to benefitted
landowners. The repairs needed
on Ditch 38 could run as high as
$100,000. The meeting will be to
explain how benefitted
landowner distinctions were
made and what each property
owner can be expected to pay.
* Received an update on the
technology upgrade at the Human
Services Building. The current
phone system is obsolete and re-
quired an upgrade. The total cost
of the upgrade is $141,000,
spread over two years.
* Approved the August rev-
enue/expenditure guidelines. The
only item highlighted was a re-
duction in investment income.
The county will end up getting
the interest on the investment in-
come, but it hadnt been received
by the county as of the end of Au-
gust when the revenue and expen-
diture totals were calculated.
* Set the committee meeting
day schedule for November 19th
and December 17th. Typically,
the scheduled committee days are
set twice a month, but because of
the Thanksgiving and Christmas
holidays fall in the fourth week of
November and December, the
county typically picks the third
Wednesday of the month in those
two months to conduct regular
committee meetings.
* Scheduled a committee of
the whole meeting for 11 a.m. fol-
lowing the Oct. 21 board meet-
ing. The purpose of the meeting
will be to meet with the countys
elected department heads to dis-
cuss their salaries for 2015.
* Authorized easement docu-
ments for the county to acquire
the easement on a tax forfeit
property for the realignment of
Hwy. 12.
* Approved a resolution of
support of a Stockholm Township
grant request to get a resurfacing
of Rhodes Avenue, which leads
into the countys Collinwood
Park. Similar letters of support for
grant funding have been ap-
proved by the highway depart-
ment and parks department.
* Received an update on the
countys plan to approach dealing
with aquatic invasive species. The
county has received grant funding
to come up with a plan to prevent
invasive species such as zebra
mussels from getting a foothold
in Wright County lakes.
* Approved a renewal of con-
tracts for salt storage purchase
agreements with the cities of Al-
bertville, Cokato and Waverly
and Cokato Township for the
2014-15 snow/ice control season.
The cities and township annually
purchase road salt for their needs
from the county off the state con-
tract that county uses to purchase
items at a discount.

I have been a field trainer in
both the narcotics unit and the
patrol division and was a use of
force instructor for many years. I
have also completed specialized
training in the investigations
field, with a focus on narcotics
and undercover investigations.
The citizens and business
owners of Wright County and
personnel of the Sheriffs Depart-
ment will benefit from my 21
years of law enforcement experi-
ence with a progressive agency.
My background makes me per-
fectly suited to lead the Wright
County Sheriffs Department into
the future.
First and foremost, I am com-
mitted to public safety and serv-
ice. I want to serve my fellow
citizens and ensure that they are
getting a good return on their in-
vestment as tax payers. I want
Wright County to be a safe com-
munity for all of us to live and
work in.
There is room for improve-
ment in the Wright County Sher-
iffs Department. The citizens of
Wright County have expectations
of their public safety department
that some personnel are not
trained to fulfill. Other agencies
require training that our depart-
ment currently doesnt. I want to
change that and make sure all
personnel are trained and
equipped to better serve residents
and business owners. Commu-
nity policing doesnt work if the
deputies you know and trust are
not trained for the situations they
encounter. As sheriff, I will cor-
rect this using my current, cutting
edge experience in public safety
and law enforcement techniques
and training.
The Wright County Sheriffs
Department needs to change to
meet the communitys needs; and
I will make those changes.
Wright County needs progres-
sive, forward-thinking ideas; my
professional and personal experi-
ences and training will be assets
to our growing community in
these changing times. As Sher-
iff, I will ensure the deputies
serving the citizens, business
owners and visitors are properly
and well trained.
Department does not provide
emergency first aid or CPR cer-
tification to the deputies. I will
make sure they are certified. The
Wright County Sheriffs Depart-
ment does not provide deputies
the training or equipment to han-
dle people who are living with
mental illness. I will make sure
they are trained and equipped to
handle these interactions safely
and efficiently. The Wright
County Sheriffs Department
does not provide deputies train-
ing or equipment to handle active
shooter situations. I will make
sure they are trained and
equipped to keep our residents
and children safe in the event of
an active shooter situation.
The issue is a lack of training
and equipment. When a citizen
calls for help, they expect and de-
serve to have properly trained
and equipped personnel respond-
ing to their call. Other agencies
require training that our person-
nel are not receiving. Current
training and cutting-edge equip-
ment are non-negotiable; without
them, no one is being well
served. As Sheriff, securing this
training and equipment, within
budget, will be a top priority for
me.
The second issue I would ad-
dress is illegal drugs. Drug man-
ufacturers and dealers have no
place in our community; I will
make sure they hear that message
loud and clear. My background
in narcotics will help me get of-
fenders arrested and make sure il-
licit and illegal drugs do not get
into the hands of our youth.
Drug manufacturers and sellers
need to be held accountable for
their actions. I will work to re-
move this element from our com-
munity.
Finally, I will not neglect the
basics. We need to continue to
take a firm stance on the enforce-
ment of local, state and federal
laws.
Wright County will benefit
from my fresh perspective and
my outside experience at a pro-
gressive public safety agency. I
will bring new resources, training
and technology to the depart-
ment. As Sheriff, I will ensure
that Wright County is a safe place
for everyone to live, work and
raise a family.

Zero Growth
Thats why as a candidate for
1st District County Commis-
sioner, I have made transparency
a major theme of my campaign
and why I have outlined on the
campaign web-site a set trans-
parency principals, as well as
more than 5 ideas for improving
the transparency of WCG, in-
cluding the creation of a Finan-
cial Key Indicator report that
lists on a single page, a 10-year
rolling window of financial in-
formation that is vital to under-
standing the financial position of
WCG.
So, was I able to verify the
6-year, zero growth claim after
all the legwork? What I found
was for the 6 year (2009-2014)
period in question, the Certified
Taxable Levy increased 11%
from $45,621,962 (2009) to
$50,566,396 (2014). So it
would appear that the claim of a
6-year, zero growth budget may
not be quite accurate.
I would encourage taxpayers
to visit my web-site and down-
load the spreadsheet and look at
the full 10 years of Levy History,
not just the last 6 years. I would
also ask that taxpayers look at
what is perhaps the clearest in-
dication of the spending habits
of the county, the area high-
lighted in yellow which contains
the total spending for the 3
major funds; General Revenue,
Road & Bridge, and Human
Services. The combined 77%
growth in spending for these
funds tells quite a different story
from the one we read about last
week.
Thanks,
Tom McGregor

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!

People who want to teach but
dont have the full credentials will
have an opportunity to become cer-
tified as short-call substitute teach-
ers under the Minnesota Limited,
Short-Call Substitute program. A
4-year bachelor degree is required
to qualify.
Resource Training & Solutions
in St. Cloud has announced that it
has coordinated a two-day program
on November 3-4, 2014, to prepare
individuals to apply to become
short-call substitute teachers.
Under Minnesota law, limited,
short-call substitute teachers li-
censes are granted only if teachers
who hold regular teaching licenses
are not available or if a district is
experiencing a hardship in securing
a sufficient number of regularly li-
censed teachers to meet the dis-
tricts need for short-call substitute
teachers. The district superintend-
ent may request that a short call
substitute license be granted to an
individual who holds a baccalaure-
ate degree from a college or univer-
sity that is accredited by the

itation of colleges and secondary
schools. Licensure is good for two
years and must be renewed bi-an-
nually.
Training will cover topics such
as the substitute teachers role in
the classroom and district, basics of
classroom management and in-
struction, basics of child develop-
ment, and communication skills.

Some of Tim Stalochs 4th
grade students also have a few
favorites to contribute to this
weeks Pencil Pride.
Brandon Carlson - One of
the things I like to do is foot-
ball. I like football because its
active, fun, and exciting. I
mostly like to play football in
the park and with my friends
Jacob, Marcus, Eddie, and
Damen. Our practices are on
Thursdays, and our games are
on Saturday. If you want to play
a sport, I would recommend
football.
Wesley Zuelke - One of my
favorite things is to sword fight.
I like to do it after school or on
weekends. Its fun to play with
my brother, Dad, and my
cousins. I think its fun and
cool. I like to play it at home, at
Grandma and Grandpas, and at
my cousins house. I think Im
good at it.
Evan Krasnow - My fa-
vorite thing to do is hunt. I like
to hunt because I get food and
meat. Hunting elk is my fa-
vorite and sometimes I bring a
cross-bow to hunt. We also
bring the ATV.
Weston Ellestad - One of
my favorite things to do is go
four wheeling. I like going fast
and usually go on the week-
ends. My Dad and I go to the
swappers meet on the four
wheeler. It is super fun!
Kali Uecker - My favorite
thing to do is gymnastics. I
enjoy gymnastics because it is
exciting, interesting, and fun. I
love doing it with my cousin
Madison. Even though I am on
a team I enjoy doing it alone.
My favorite place to do gym-
nastics is at the gym. I also do
it at my house. My best event is
bars and my favorite events are
bars and the beam.
Audrey Miller - One of my
favorite things to do is skate
board. It is getting easier for me
as I become more advanced. I
think it is really fun. I try to do
hard stuff that I have never
done before. Have you ever
heard practice makes perfect?
I think its a really good saying.
Sometimes I skate on a road
where no one is driving. I also
go to the skate park with my
friends and sister Emily. My fa-
vorite times to go are when I
get home from school or on
Saturdays and Sundays. It is so
fun! I think everybody should
try it. If you get hurt, just get up
and try again. I get hurt once in
a while, but still everyday when
I get home or wake up I will be
skate boarding. Try it!

The Irish JV cross country
teams got to run with the big
dogs, Tuesday, Oct. 7, in Albany
as fill-ins for the regular varsity
runners who stayed home to gear
up for the conference showdown
the following week.
On Tuesday, Oct. 14, the var-
sity teams were scheduled to
travel to Pierz for the Central
Minnesota Conference meet
where the boys team was to con-
tend with the sixth-ranked team
in the state, Holdingford, and the
equally tough Royalton. On the
girls side, the rivalry between the
Irish and Holdingford was ex-
pected to continue.
Last year they (Holdingford)
won and the year before we won.
It has gone back and fourth like
that for a while. We expect it to
be real close and were excited to
be in it, Head Coach Ben
Youngs said prior to the meet.
Results of Tuesdays race will
be in the Wednesday, Oct. 22,
issue of the Maple Lake Messen-
ger.
At Albany, both boys and
girls JV squads stepped up to the
challenge on a tough course,
Youngs said.
I'm proud of the JV kids who
stepped up to try varsity. It put
them in the position to letter, and
it showed them what they will
have to do to compete in the fu-
ture, he said.
On the boys side, Simon
Willard, a sophomore at MLH,
ran the race in under 20 minutes,
which Youngs called impres-
sive. His time of 19:55 earned
him 44th place overall.
In fact, all of the guys were
under 23 minutes on a tough
course, Youngs said.
Behind Willard in 58th place
was Ben Smail, a freshman, in
21:15; Tanner Severson, a soph-
omore, was 59th in 21:18; Soph-
omores Brady Tongen was 65th,
Tyler Cranston was 69th and
Tyler Willard was 70th in times
of 21:55, 22.39 and 22.41, re-
spectively.
Senior Alec Hausladen fin-
ished 71st in a time of 22:53.
The runners efforts earned
them 10th place overall with 281
points. Mora was first with 42
points; Rocori was second with
47; Albany was third with 83 and
Big Lake was fourth with 117.
Junior Kelly Beissel lead the
girls team to an eighth place fin-
ish with a time of 19:16 for 42nd
place. Freshman Margaret Gra-
ham was 45th in 19:34; junior
Tara Holmgren was 47th in
19:44; freshman Chloe Riviere
was 48th in 19:45; sophomore
Ashley Martie was 54th in
20:32; sophomore Mackenzie
Miller was 57th in 21:10 and
seventh grader Peyton Tongen
was 61st in 35:00.
The girls also impressed me.
We had four under 20 minutes
and a couple just over, Youngs
said.
Rocori won the girls race with
40 points; Albany was second
with 65; Mora was third with 79
and Zimmerman was fourth with
101. Maple Lake had 215 points.
The highlight of the day on
the junior high team was Daryn
Strub; Matt Gendreau and
Michael Millers second, fourth
and 15th place finishes which
earned them t-shirts.
As a whole, the boys junior
high team finished an impres-
sive second against some
tough, bigger schools, Youngs
said.
They have shown that they
can compete with anyone.
The girls junior high team fin-
ished seventh overall.
On Thursday, Oct. 23, the
Irish varsity teams will travel to
Milaca for the section meet and
a shot at the state competition.

The last time the Irish beat the
Jaguars in BBE (A) was in 2010.
Since that time, every game has
came to a final drive with the
clock running down to the last
seconds or a two point conver-
sion in overtime. It's a different
Jaguar team this year, said Sen-
ior defensive back McRae Haney
commenting on the opposing
team, Last year they had a good
run game and strong defense .
This year we are out for ourselves
and the past Irish teams that lost
to these guys.
Maple Lake has been shaky
on the road this year, losing to
Pierz, struggling against EVW
and defeating a poor Kimball
team. The Irish, however, played
a great game on both sides of the
ball and defeated the Jaguars 47-
0.
With this victory the Irish
locked up the number-one seed in
Section 4AA and will have at
least one home game and another
if they win their first game of
playoffs.
The Irish offense surmounted
a total of 385 yards of offense
and only one drive failed after a
fumble set them back and two in-
completions put them back on the
side lines. Both Cal Redemske
and Dustin Strub had huge game
for the Irish, accumulating 283
yards and four touchdowns be-
tween the two of them. Strub ran
for 60 yards and broke four tack-
les to score for the Irish and keep-
ing the momentum away from
the Jaguars. The Irish line played
a very physical game against a
smaller Jaguar line. The Jaguar
defensive line cut the offensive
line of Maple Lake and attempted
to create piles of bodies, forcing
the Irish running backs to look
elsewhere to run. The strategy,
that worked last year, didnt
however this year. The under-
sized defensive line of BBE may
have worked against a large of-
fensive line, but the Irish line is
undersized themselves. Many
times the cutting linemen of BBE
would end up the bottom of piles
and came up slowly, riddled with
small injuries. The wide receivers
of Maple Lake didnt get any
catches this game, but their
blocks were key to the successful
running game of Maple Lake. A
huge hit from McRae Haney not
only set up a big run for the Irish,
but created havoc and frustration
for the Jaguar defense throughout
the entire game furthering the
Irish offensive success.
The Irish defense thought last
week was great game against
Kimball, but had an even better
game against the Jaguars this
week only allowing 15 yards of
total offense from the 1-5
Jaguars. The Jaguar offense had
good field position on their third
drive, only down by 14-0 they
needed to gather momentum, but
were stopped and held in check
from a thriving Irish defense.
Going into the game we were
kind of worried about this game
because they had many injuries
and just started to get some play-
ers back, because we didnt know
what to expect, Junior line-
backer Damian Kaley com-
mented after the victory against
BBE, We did an awesome job
working together as a unit. Our
coaches put us into position to
make plays and all we need to do
was fly to the ball. The interior
defensive players and chaos
causing blitzes kept the Jaguars
in staled mode. In past games the
Irish defense contributed much
momentum and offensive field
position from turnovers. How-
ever, this game they had none.
Yes, BBE took care of the ball,
but couldnt move the ball at all
against the diverse Irish defense.
We created mayhem. They
couldnt run the ball outside the
tackles or inside. linebacker
Blake Wellsted said pleased of
the defensive performance, We
took away just about everything
they could to try and move the
ball and we played a great game
and worked together.
The Irish will play Holding-
ford on Wednesday, October 15
in Maple Lake for the last regular
season game at Irish Country Sta-
dium. The Huskers embarrassed
the Irish last year and now they
are looking for revenge.

The Irish volleyball team won
five out of six games on the road
last week, boosting their records
to 22-5 overall and 6-0 in the
Central Minnesota Conference.
They kicked off the week on
Tuesday, Oct. 7, in Sartell where
they were dealt their first loss of
the week by the Sabres. Irish
Coach Marty Kiebel called the
larger Class 5A team, young but
scrappy, and expected a hard
fought match going in.
Sartell overpowered the
Maple Lake team 25-16 in that
first game, but the Irish fought
back to claim the second 25-20.
In the end the Sabres proved too
much, claiming the next two
games 25-17 and 25-18 for a 3-1
win.
Linsey Rachel went 12 for 12
serving with two aces against
Sartell, plus 17 kills and 20 digs.
Emily Webb went 19 for 21
serving. She had seven kills and
six digs. Jennie Pomije went 11
for 12 serving with one ace and
nine assists; Jill Goelz went 11
for 16 serving and Olivia Mar-
quette went seven for eight serv-
ing with two aces and 11 assists.
The Maple Lake team trav-
eled to Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa
on Thursday, Oct. 9, to take on
the Jaguars. Kiebel expected the
B-B-E team to come out firing,
fueled by a desire for revenge
after the Irish beat them last year
in a upset for the conference
championship.
The Irish scraped by with a
26-24 win that first match, then
went on to dominate the Jaguars
25-18 and 25-20 for a 3-0 win.
Rachel went 13 for 14 serving
with one ace, 19 kills and 15 digs;
Pomije went 11 for 11 serving
with 16 assists; Webb went 10 for
11 serving with nine kills and
seven digs; Goelz went 19 for 19
serving with two aces; Marquette
went eight for nine serving with
one ace and 14 assists and sev-
enth grader Chloe Callahan had
five digs.
Maple Lake finished up the
week with a nine-team tourna-
ment, Saturday, Oct. 11, at Be-
nilde-St. Margarets against what
Kiebel expected to be some
tough metro schools.
The Irish went 4-0, beating De
Lasalle 29-27 and 25-19; White
Bear Lake 25-18, 25-20; Benilde-
St. Margaret 25-23, 28-26 and
Holy Family Catholic 25-22, 25-
23.
Rachel went 52 for 55 serving
with 10 aces, 44 kills and 43 digs
on the day. Pomije went 35 for 36
serving with one ace, 44 assists
and 17 digs; Amber Klug had 14
kills and eight digs; Morgan
Scheiber went 11 for 13 serving
with five assists and 14 digs;
Sadie Pingel went 13 for 13 serv-
ing with one ace and six digs;
Callahan had 11 digs; Webb went
25 for 27 serving with one ace,
20 kills and 22 digs; Goelz went
33 for 39 serving with four aces,
11 kills and 14 digs; Brooklyn
Toedter had 16 kills; Brynn Pau-
men had five kills and Martquette
went 37 for 38 serving with four
aces, 46 assists and 16 digs.
The Irish were to travel to
Holdingford on Tuesday, Oct. 14,
for their final conference match-
up. Results were not available at
press time, but will appear in the
Wednesday, Oct. 22, edition of
the Maple Lake Messenger.

Extra seat belt enforcement on
Minnesota Roads Oct. 10-26
Motorists intent on bucking
the positive trend in seat belt use
risk their lives, others lives, and
during Oct. 10 26, a potential
citation.
Nearly 400 Minnesota law en-
forcement agencies will be focus-
ing on seat belt violations during
this months Click It or Ticket
extra enforcement campaign, co-
ordinated by the Minnesota De-
partment of Public Safety (DPS)
Office of Traffic Safety.
Seat Belt Use Reaches
Record High for Males
Overall seat belt compliance
is about 95 percent for front seat
occupants, and while the rate is
lower for males, an increasing
percentage of them are buckling
up. The June 2014 observational
seat belt survey showed a record
high 92.8 percent of male front
seat occupants wore their seat
belts. This is the fourth year in a
row that the rate was above 90
percent.
We encourage the driver or
passengers in any vehicle to
speak up about buckling up,
said Donna Berger, Office of
Traffic Safety director. Its not
just a good idea, its the law that
everyone in the vehicle must
buckle up.
Most Motorists Making
the Right Choice
Before Minnesotas first seat
belt law in June 1986, 20 percent
of front seat vehicle occupants
wore belts. According to this
years observational seat belt sur-
vey, the rate is holding steady at
about 95 percent.
Each year in Minnesota, al-
most half of occupants killed in
motor vehicle crashes were not
belted.
Minnesota Child Car Seat
Law and Steps
In Minnesota, children must
be in a child restraint until they
are 4 feet 9 inches tall, or at least
age 8, whichever comes first:
Rear-facing infant seats
Newborns to at least 1 year and
20 pounds; recommended up to
age 2. It is safest to keep a child
rear-facing as long as possible.
Forward-facing toddler seats
Age 2 until around age 4. Its
preferable to keep children in a
harnessed restraint as long as
possible.
Booster seats Use after
outgrowing a forward-facing har-
nessed restraint; safest to remain
in a booster until 4 feet 9 inches
tall, or at least age 8, whichever
comes first.
Seat belts Use when chil-
dren can sit with their back
against the seat and have their
knees bent comfortably over the
vehicle seat edge with feet touch-
ing the floor.

1. Divorce will not save your
home from mortgage foreclo-
sure or save you from your
debts. Some people apparently
think filing for divorce will stop
a home mortgage foreclosure or
creditor harassment. The mort-
gage company (or credit card
company) is not a party to your
divorce. Regardless of how the
judge divides debt in the divorce
decree, that decision is not bind-
ing on your creditors. Consult a
lawyer if you have questions
about this issue or anything in
this article.
2. There is no such thing as a
free lunch, meaning, a trial costs
you time, money, uncertainty,
and emotional capital.
3. You cant rewrite history.
The workaholic parent that never
went to parent-teacher confer-
ences, or spent most weekends
away from the family, generally
isnt awarded physical custody of
the children. The court will not
disregard a history of drug or al-
cohol abuse, or physical and
emotional violence. Also, airing
all of the dirt about the other
parent is not going to assist with
successful co-parenting in the fu-
ture.
4. You can either pay for your
own kids to go to college or for
your lawyers kids to go to col-
lege, not both.
5. Do not leave the decision-
making about your family up to
a stranger. No matter how long
the trial or how skilled the
lawyer, the parents will always
know more about your family
than the judge. Dont leave it up
to the judge to set the rules for fu-
ture co-parenting. Be invested in
cooperation, not confrontation
and retribution.
6. If you think trials are ex-
pensive and time-consuming, ap-
peals are more so. Attorneys
fees, appellate filing fee of $500,
and transcript costs will be in the
thousands of dollars, and maybe
a year delay. There is no guaran-
tee that your spouse will be or-
dered to pay any portion of your
attorneys fees.
7. Much of what is important
to you in getting divorced is
probably inadmissible evidence
for trial and DOES NOT and
CANNOT be considered by the
judgeextramarital affairs
conduct not affecting the parent-
child relationshipwhich set of
in-laws gave the two of you the
wedding gifts ten or twenty years
ago.
8. Tomorrows another day.
Look to the future, not the past.
Kids become adults. Ask your-
self: Do I want to be the parent
that is not invited to the childs
college graduation, or wedding
or the grandchilds first birthday
party? Children have long mem-
ories. If you make their child-
hood chaotic and miserable,
perhaps they will not want you
seeing their children.
9. King Solomon had it right.
So did the mother in the Bible
story that chose to give up her
child rather than have him de-
stroyed (cut in half by a sword)
in the dispute.
10. No outcome is ever certain
following an expensive trial. Too
many litigants are certain of the
justness of their cause and that
are certainly going to win.
Rest assured, after a trial and an
appeal, and years of post-divorce
litigation, there are no winners.
Some folks seem uncon-
cerned about the cost of their di-
vorce because their parent or
grandparent is paying the lawyer.
If that is the case with you, please
consider that you are using up the
possibly fixed income or assets
of an elderly parent or grandpar-
ent who will not have 10-30
years to recoup this money in
working wages. We have
lawyers filing hundreds of pages
of affidavits or trial exhibits for
contested divorces. All those
pages cost money to prepare and
file, and for the opposing party to
respond to. I dont think Im ex-
aggerating the cost if I say you
can assume its about $100 in at-
torney fees for each page of
paper your lawyer files with the
Court.
How can you settle: hire a me-
diator, use your lawyers skills to
settle instead of litigate, and,
most importantly, do not lose
focus on what is most important
if you have children.
In summary, take control of
your side of the divorce, make a
good faith effort to settle all is-
sues or as many as reasonably
possible, and thereby preserve
your assets for your children and
yourself. In the long run, you
will be more satisfied with the
outcome.
