The Shanks and Henjum

families have been getting together for years to raise money
and awareness for Parkinsons
Disease. The disease, which affects the central nervous system,
has personally touched both
families, who were friends long
before Parkinsons entered their
lives.
Claire Austin of Maple Lake
helped kick-start an annual
fundraiser after her father, Ed
Shanks (now age 66), was diagnosed with Parkinsons. Then,
four years ago, family friend,
Nancy Henjum (now 46), was
also diagnosed. Henjum is the
daughter of Mary Henjum, who
was an elementary teacher in
Maple Lake for 34 years, and
Dan Henjum, who was the high
school choir director for a number of years.
The two families joined up to
hold an annual Parkinsons
fundraiser in the area. This
years fifth annual fundraiser has
moved from Monticello to The
V in Maple Lake. It will be held
on Saturday, April 11, from 3
p.m. to midnight. A silent auction and lunch/dinner buffet will
run from 3-5 p.m., with a suggested donation of $5 for children and $10 for adults. A live
auction will follow, and the rock
n roll cover band Outside Recess will take the stage from 8
The National Parkinsons Foundations Moving Day Walk is a fun, inspiring fundraising event that unites families,
friends and communities in the fight against Parkinsons disease. Nancy Henjum is pictured in the top row, fourth in

p.m. to midnight. There is no
cover charge for the band, but
free-will donations for Parkinsons research are appreciated.
Every year, it gets a little
more exciting, Austin said,
adding that the live auction was
new last year. This year, the location has changed and theyve
added a band. We continue to
keep growing.
Businesses and individuals
have donated items and gift baskets to the live and silent auc-
tions. In previous years, these

items have included hotel stays,
a Mall of America swag bag, fire
pit, liquor baskets, fishing and
hunting gear, quilts, jewelry, gift
cards and more.
Donations have come from
local businesses in Maple Lake,

Monticello, Annandale and Buffalo, as well as from places in
the Twin Cities and home-made
items from area residents.

Rare sighting at Maple Lake Lions Candy Scramble a hit

Local Birder Barney Stone
was astonished at his good fortune in spotting a pair of migrating penguins on Wednesday. I
was driving by the public access
and noticed two odd birds sitting
at the edge of the ice near shore,
said Stone. At first he thought
they might be uncommon loons,
which are rare enough and exciting to see. The black and white
color was right, but the size and
shape were wrong, he added.
Luckily, he had his spotting
scope with him and was able to

get a closer view and record what
he saw. Oh my gosh, they are
in the wrong hemisphere, was
the first thing that crossed his
mind when he realized he was
really looking at penguins.
A call to the U of M Extension Service shed some light on
the pretty darn weird occurrence. Stone was told the only
time it is possible to see penguins
in Minnesota is during ice out
conditions when there is open
water between the shore and ice

shelf. This is such a variable
event it is very difficult for the
penguins to determine when to
migrate. Maple Lake is pretty
far west of their usual migration
path as they often stop at Lake
Superior on their way to Hudson
Bay. The U staff speculated
this pair may have gotten caught
up in some recent windy days
and were blown a bit off course.
Hundreds of youngsters
under 12 plus hundreds of
pounds of candy equals one
mad scramble, and thats exactly what it was at the Maple
Lake Lions annual Palm Sun-
day Easter Candy Scramble and

Pancake Breakfast. The combined event, held at the Maple
Lake High School gym from 8
a.m. until noon on Sunday,
brought out kids of all ages,
Maple Lake Ambassadors

Maya Ortiz and Heather Blahut,
and even the Easter Bunny.

There was a request from JoAnn Erickson, Converse, Texas, for
a copy of the green cookbook that was published by the Jaycees
Women back when JoAnn lived on Maple Lake not far from the
James Pribyl farm. She is not concerned about the condition of the
cookbook, she just wants one! Those in attendance or participating
in the Jaycees Hee Haw productions from that era will remember
JoAnn for her toothless smile, her outlandish print dress, and the
over-sized boots she danced or pranced around in on stage as other
Jaycees and community members imitated TV personalities from
the weekly Hee Haw shows. She also alluded to the bed races,
slave days and parades the Jaycees took part in, and as a reminder
enclosed a couple of photos in her E-mail. One was of her with
Dorothy Deziel and Gloria Hadac and the other one apparently
taken during the show itself. Anyway, shed like to find that elusive
green cookbook and Id like your help in locating one. I remember
her as being just plain hilarious in the Hee Haw productions and a
good sport all around. .

Finding a spot for late ice fishing on Maple Lake wasnt a problem last week, but Im guessing it will be all over later this week
with promises of warm weather and sunshine. Rock Lake resident
Russ Paumen was baffled when he saw a car and fishermen on that
lake last Thursday. He and I both wondered how the driver got on
the lake because of the deteriorating ice at the access. There was
about 18 inches of ice on Maple Lake Friday when I drilled a couple of holes west of the swimming beach, but I wouldnt call it
solid ice. Fishing wasnt all that great either and I went home with
seven just after Joe Baker came out. The larger sunnies were still
backing away from the bait and the few crappies I saw werent in-

Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
It's been a long time since I
picked on the seniors in my exercise class. I'd better do it again.
Maybe it's the season. It was
spring, and all of a sudden it's
winter. Seniors aren't good at
making changes, unless it's Depends or arthritis lotions. Getting picky helps.
Marching in place is the first
exercise. We mix stomping with
alterations such as slapping our
knees and ankles until someone
hollers. We alternate putting the
left foot forward along with the
right arm, and then the right foot
with the left arm. Okay, it's not
like walking a tightrope or dancing the tango, but some people
take months to figure it out,
doing right leg with right arm

and left with left. Seniors have
spent lifetimes raising kids or
working jobs without ever having to do that.
A new victim joined the
class. She said her name was
Sharon. I told her we already
have a Sharon, so she couldn't
come whenever the other Sharon
was there, but she wasn't this
time. Bob was there, but the
other Bob wasn't, so we let him
stay, too. Nobody told the new
Sharon about the colors of exercise bands, even though she had
a red one. Yellow bands are the
easiest, followed by green, and
then red. There are blue ones,
too, but nobody in class has been

Question: I live in a very
small town and see people all
the time driving in the wrong direction to collect their mail or
visit neighbors. This means they
are on the wrong side of the
road facing on-coming traffic. I
feel like Im in a foreign country. Is this legal? Thank you in
advance for an answer.
Answer: Driving down the
opposite
side
of
the
street/road/highway for any of
those reasons is not only illegal,
its unsafe.

With spring just around the

corner this means increased hazards such as melting snow, icy
roads, rain, mist and fog. When
these conditions exist, drivers
must use extra caution on the
roadways:
Slow down and increase
your following distance when
rain or mist begins to fall. Even
a small amount of water can mix
with oil and grease on the road
to create slippery conditions.
Use your headlights.
If you are driving in rain or
able to stretch one of those yet.

I bought my own band, and it's
black. Nobody knows just how
stretchy it is except me. Sharon
finally gave up trying with the
red band and went home.
The classroom has two mirrored walls. Everyoneexcept a
few who hide behind a wall
can see how they and others are
doing. I try not to laugh out loud
when I notice Lurch over on the
other side trying to get coordinated, or see Vampira sit down
and look in her gym bag for
something stronger than water to
sip. It's always interesting to see
who is stepping the same way I
am, and how long it will be before we get out of step.
There's usually someone who
needs a fan turned on, and others
who can't stand the breeze. After
a session or two, they migrate to
an appropriate location.
Music is always at 120 beats
per minute. It's country, Latin,
jazz, or old. Most of the time it's
really loud. Along with others I

turn my hearing aids down. It
doesn't help. The instructor
knows all the words. So do I.
I go to class to stay alive.
That, and doctor-recommendation. The group has a lot of
metal joints, stents and scars,
and often slings and bandages.
We all look upon surgery scars
as badges of courage, but we try
to hide them.
We practice balance, and we
guess at how tired we are based
on a wall chart. It has a scale of
one to ten. If anyone gets to six,
he has to sit down. Nobody has
admitted that yet. Some of us sit
down anyway. We've had a few
people fall down but nobody has
died yet.
I used to be on golf and bowling teams. This is a senior version, without the beer and
hamburgers. And those other
teams were not co-ed. This is,
but one doesn't go to a senior exercise class to look at babes.
fog that totally impairs visibility, pull off the road as far as
possible and turn on your hazard
lights.
To keep the inside of your
windshield clear of moisture,
turn on your fan and defroster;
the air conditioner may work
wonders as well.
Allow extra following distance: a car could need up to 10
times more distance to stop on a
wet road than on dry pavement.
Avoid driving through large
puddles: splashing water may
affect your brakes, cause your
car to swerve, and impair the vision of other motorists.
Watch the road to see if the
vehicle ahead is leaving tire
tracks. If possible, follow in
those tracks, if not, reduce speed
slowly to prevent hydroplaning.
Watch for icy conditions

caused by thawing snow, spring
rains or mist, especially in
shaded areas, on bridges and
overpasses. Remember that
these areas freeze first.
Keep an eye out for pedestrians, they may be more difficult to see in the rain and fog.

terested in a wax worm meal. Two large pumpkin seeds were the
most aggressive. Joe drilled some holes near the rushes and was
hoping for a meal of crappies. On Saturday, after I took Vanna for
a walk in Ney Park, I decided to try some of the holes Don Heimbecker had drilled on the east side of the beach. The water is starting to get kind of murky and made sight fishing a little tough. I
was in about six feet of water fishing were on the small side. I
traded the crappies I caught with Heimbecker for his sunnies and
they ended up in Daryl Hennens pail along with the three I kept.
He looked kind of fish hungry! .
.
. Hennen and I kept
fishing a little longer and I quit after I had a crappie on that was
too large for the hole. I had a hold of it with my thumb and finger
and tried to squeeze it, but it was just too big. Hennen came over
just in time to see it swim away. Besides losing the fish I lost the
ice jig that was in the crappies upper lip. I was telling Jerry Carlson and the other early morning coffee drinkers at Cenex, about
this Monday morning and he countered with, Why did you have
a two inch hole? That blew the wind out of my story and I had to
admit the hole was one Heimbecker had drilled with his four-inch
auger. On Sunday Don commented the same thing had happened
to him with a crappie while telling me he cant find any blades for
the next size auger, 6 inches. The moral of the story, if it has one,
is to bring your own auger if you want a larger hole. .

On our Sunday morning walk in Ney Park Vanna and I were
serenaded by three Sand Hill cranes, the first Ive seen this spring.
I havent noticed or heard any Wood Ducks, but they should be
around soon. I drove by the swimming beach off Hwy. 55 about
10:30 a.m. and noticed an angler coming off the ice with pail in
hand. I waited purposely by his truck and asked him if he had his
pail full. He smiled and commented the wind gusts were just too
brutal to even try fishing.

I recently visited with members of the Loch family of
Maple Lake: Monica (the ruling
lady), Carol Loch Rusinko,
Mark Loch and Steve Loch at
Monicas Maple Lake home.
They regaled me with stories
about their familys history in
aviation, and helped this newer
resident better understand the
interesting history of the Maple
Lake Flying Club and our municipal airport.
Monicas husband, Jule,
passed away in 1971, twentysix years after doctors diagnosed him with tuberculosis and
told him not to marry because
he wasnt going to live much
longer. So, he and Monica got
married, enjoyed twenty-five
years together and raised a family of eleven children. Im glad
we didnt listen to the doctors,
Monica said with a smile.
Jule was a founding member
of the Maple Lake Flying Club,
which was established in 1966.
Other names on the May, 1966
Membership Record were: Kenneth
Anderson,
Leonard
Driscoll, John Dundari, Victor
Jude, Maurice Jindrich, John
LeBrun, Bill Mavencamp Sr.,
David Mooney, Maurice Neutz,
Donald Paumen, Jerome Paumen, Kenneth Flaggerman,
Harry Smith, James Stuhr, Gene
Theder, Kenneth Hennen, John
Mavencamp, George Yonak Jr.,
Phil Perkins, Ronnie Loven,
Lester Cantin, Pat Ryan, Danny
Paumen, Laurel Anderson,
William Dynan, Mike Wojiah,
William Dynan and Laurel Anderson.
The members flew out of the
first Maple Lake Airport, which
was located just south of the
present Cenex station on Jack
Judes property. It had a dirt
runway, which turned to mud
after a rain. In 1967 the permanent airport was built northeast
of town with a 2,400-foot dirt
runway (more mud), a metal
building housing three hangars
and a repair shop. The flying
clubs clubhouse was also built
at the airport, then was moved
into the city in 1980 and is now
known as Jude Hall, named
after Fred Jude who was instrumental in building it.

At the new airports first flyin and dedication in 1967,
Northwest Airlines sent two 727
jets (the largest passenger airplanes in the country) to the
event where each plane performed a fly-by, with landing
gear down, about ten feet off the
runway. They wouldnt dare try
that nowadays.
The club was greatly helped
by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP),
and many of the flying club
members were also CAP members (with uniforms). The Civil
Air Patrol provided the club
with a CAP surplus military
jeep, a CAP Piper J3 Cub airplane, and lessons to the club
members on aviation rescue.
The members put new skin on
the J3 Cub and got it all ready
to fly, but nobody dared to
climb aboard because the members thought it had carburetor
problems.
Fortunately, the club owned
a
sixty-five
horsepower
Aeronca Chief that the members took flying lessons in to
earn their private pilot licenses.
Having no electric starter, the
Chief needed to be handpropped. Steve recalls that
somewhat tricky task: One
person would stay in the plane
holding the brake and working
the throttle while a second person would get in front of the
plane and put both hands on one
side of the prop, pull down hard
to spin the prop, then step back
fast. The cost for lessons with
the airplane and instructor, a
whopping $5.00 per hour.
Jule passed on his passion
for aviation, helping his son,
Nick, study for and earn his private pilot license at age sixteen,
before he had his drivers license. According to his family,
flying came naturally for Nick
and the adventure of aviation
fits his personality. The entire
group nodded and agreed when
Carol exclaimed, He is a daredevil.
Until next month, stay out of
the trees!

With the amount of lakes and

rivers in Minnesota, several
counties have implemented watershed districts in order to protect the quality of local
waterways. In the process, a
hodgepodge of individual watersheds has proliferated the state,
with little similarity between
them. At the March 28 meeting
of the Wright County Board, a
plan was brought to the commissioners to change that.
The commissioners were
asked to approve One Watershed, One Plan a proposed
statewide unification of watersheds into larger regional groupings by the Minnesota Board of
Water & Soil Resources. Five
pilot watersheds were selected,
a river system, including one

pertaining to the Crow River.
The proposed Crow River
One Watershed plan would include
Wright,
Kandiyohi,
Meeker, Pope and Stearns counties. Wright County would be a
key player in the process, because the Crow River runs
through four of five commissioner districts and there is more
land area in Wright County than
any of the other counties.
Commissioner Charlie Borrell was concerned that the terms
implementation and restoration were included in the resolution, giving the presumption
that Wright County would be obligated to do the project even if
the costs were excessive. Kerry
that isnt the case.

This agreement is only for
planning, Saxton said. Its not
for implementation. Of course,
the state wants us to start implementation once the plan is approved, but they put an off-road
in there that you dont have to
accept the plan once it is completed.
The board argued the merits
of the plan, but it was pointed out
that there are two ways of removing the county from the project if problems arise. One is a
30-day out-clause notice that can
be given at any time and an end
date of Dec. 31, 2016, to complete the planning phase. Borrell
asked if the county would be penalized if they removed them-
ward without Wright County and

that the state is likely to fund the
projects because they have a
vested interest in it being successful.
The state wants these things
to work, Saxton said. They are
definitely going to fund the plans
to go to fruition and all the partners stay in. If you did opt out,
you would go back to your
county plan and funding would
be available as it is now. But, the
state feels strongly about this
plan, so they are going to fund
these plans in the future.
The board voted unanimously
to proceed with the project.

Wastewater plant given positive audit report

by Paul Downer
Managing Editor
Annandale Advocate
Members of the AnnandaleMaple Lake-Howard Lake

Wastewater Commission anticipated possible problems when
they first added equipment
breakdown insurance in 2013,
and it appears that investment has
now paid off.
Commissioners learned during their first meeting of the year
on Thursday, March 26, that a
pump casing had broken, a costly
repair that should be covered by
the insurance.
In other business during the
meeting they also heard that an
annual audit turned up no major
concerns, and approved a few
changes to the sewer connection
charge policy.
Pump problem
Plant operator Joe Haller reported on the fractured pump
casing, an issue he attributed to
pipe stress.
For whatever reason on that
given day, after seven years of
being used, it just decided to fracture, said Haller. The best thing
I could equate it to would be a
water main break, but its not
water. Fortunately that pump is in
the basement and all the valves
that feed that pump were closed,
so we didnt get the basement
full.
Had it been running, that
would have been very messy,
said Haller. It was a minimal
spill. It was all contained to the
building. We got it cleaned up
and now we just have to get the
pump fixed.
Assuming the insurance claim
is approved, it will be the first
time the equipment breakdown
insurance is successfully called

upon to remedy an issue (an earlier claim regarding a radio antennae was not approved).
The cost of the insurance for
2015 was about $2,800.
Well get a couple of years
worth of premiums or more out
of this, said Haller.
It will take several months to
repair the equipment, but Haller
said the break occurred at a good
time because he should be able to
continue regular operations without it until the fall season.
Positive audit
One year after an auditor
voiced concern about the commissions cash reserves, which
were declining faster than originally planned, Wendy Holle of
Conway, Deuth and Schmiesing
said that while the present situation warranted continued monitoring, there was no immediate
cause for concern.
You knew this was coming,
just keep an eye on it, she said,
referring to a decline in cash reserves from $2.7 million when
the plant opened in 2009 to just
under $770,000 last year.
Part of the reason for the
eased concern was that the commission actually ended 2014 in
the black for the first time thanks
to a huge influx of constructionrelated
sewer
connection
charges, and the cash reserve is
expected to start rebuilding going
forward.
Rate payers can expect one
more increase to $7 in 2016, but
at that point the rate is scheduled
to remain flat through 2028. That
will mean a consistent monthly
bill of $32 for users. During that
time, moderate growth in the
cities, more normal rainfall years
and a sufficient user rate are expected to lead to small annual

gains in the cash reserve until
2026.
The audit found that the
wastewater commissions net position had declined about
$650,000 from 2013 to 2014, almost entirely due to depreciation.
On the positive side, operating
expenses have remained steady
over the plants five-year history.
The commissions total net
position was down about
$517,000 from 2013 to a total of
just under $22.8 million.
SAC charge changes
Aside from the pump break
and the audit, changes to the
commissions sewer availability
connection, or SAC, charges
were the main item of discussion.
Commission secretary Kelly
Hinnenkamp explained that
when a commercial building
changes uses, from office space
to a restaurant, for example, the
different use has been examined
and SAC charges have been applied where necessary.
The amended policy would
base any redetermination leading to SAC fees on a standard set
of fixture units. Each type of toilet, sink, drain, etc. has an assigned number of fixture units,
and if the project adds a sufficient
number of units a SAC charge is
applied. If the number of fixtures
does not exceed a set number,
there would be no charge.
Logically, some small projects dont make sense to charge,
Hinnenkamp said, using a business bathroom renovation as an
example. From a city standpoint, because we are a commission made up of three cities, we
want our businesses to choose to
invest in some of these things and

not prohibit them by charging
them significant SAC fees.
The change only applies to
existing buildings where there is
a change of use, and Hinnenkamp said it would simplify
the process and aid economic development.
We just want to make sure
were consistent and fair across
all three cities, she said. In my
opinion, the SAC fees are a way
to make new users to the system
accountable to what their demand is. Its tough to do that in
existing buildings that can
change hands a few times over a
20-year period. (Under the old
policy) it gets difficult to administer that, to make sure were not
overcharging a particular building over that time period. Those
are difficult conversations to
have with new businesses going
in to occupy what might be a vacant space.
An additional change included distinctions between publicly- and privately-owned
buildings since uses are often different, and the commissioners
approved the changes with an understanding that distinctions between temporary and permanent
structures will also be examined.
Other items
Haller reported that the
plant is operating well within
state guidelines for discharges.
That means our plant is operating very well, he said.
Corey Czycalla of the Annandale City Council attended
his first meeting as a commissioner. He is replacing Marlene
Young.
All other commission members remained the same for 2015.

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!

I feel like weve gotten really good support, said Austin,

who is a special education
teacher in the Delano School
District.
Every year the fundraiser has
grown, and roughly $11,000 was
raised last year. Austin estimates
that over the past four years, the
group has raised more than
$30,000. None of the money
goes to the families involved,
but instead all past proceeds
have gone to the National
Parkinson Foundation of Minnesota (NPFM), which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to
improving the lives of those who
are affected by Parkinsons. This
year, a portion of the proceeds
will also be donated to the
Michael J. Fox Foundation For
Parkinsons Research, which focuses on research and finding a
cure.
Im excited for a couple of
reasons. First, its in my hometown of Maple Lake. Second,
were trying some new ideas for
the fundraiser this year, Henjum said.
The money earned at the
local fundraiser is brought to the
annual NPFM Moving Day
event, which is a nationally-organized walk that raises money
for Parkinsons. The Shanks and
Henjum team, which calls itself
Stomping Out Parkinsons,
was the top donor at the event in
2013.
The group is excited to be
giving a portion of their 2015
proceeds to the Michael J. Fox
Foundation.
We focus on this big
fundraiser, said Austin. Its
such a big issue world-wide. Its
an important thing to find a
cure.

Its sad that its taken

celebrities like Robin Williams
and Michael J. Fox to bring it to
the publics attention, Henjum
said. But its really great that
people are becoming more
aware of the disease and its impact.
The causes of Parkinsons
Disease are not all known, although genetics and environmental factors may be involved
in some cases. The Shanks have
learned that there is likely a connection between the disease and
Ed Shanks time in the Vietnam
War, where he came in contact
with Agent Orange.
The families hope their
fundraiser will increase awareness about the disease. Symptoms
associated
with
Parkinsons include loss of muscle function and dexterity,
tremors, memory and speech
loss, and a loss of communication between the brain and muscles. Medications can ease the
symptoms, but not eliminate
them. And many medications
have their own side effects.
This is a progressive disese
and unique to each person.
Henjum said. There is a strong
likelihood I will end up in a
wheelchair, but I dont know
how or when. And I dont want
to lose today worrying about tomorrow.

MOMENTS
What to do with the dress after the event
There are many ways to recycle or repurpose a wedding gown
or prom dress.
Estimates suggest the average
wedding gown costs $2,000, and
prom dresses can run several
hundred dollars. Too often even
the most expensive dress will
only be worn once. Fortunately,
there are a variety of ways both
can be reused or recycled.
Heirloom
One of the easiest ways to get
more from your gown is to pass
it down to someone else. Brides
frequently save and preserve
their gowns with the intent of
passing it down as an heirloom
to a daughter or another family
member. prom dresses can be
easily used by a friend in another
school. Maintain the beauty of
the gown by hiring a professional
dry cleaner (prom dress) or wedding gown preservation service
to treat and package the gown
before storing it for some lucky
lady's future use.

Religious outfit
If your wedding dress is
white, and you feel the style of
the gown won't keep up with the
times, the fabric of the gown can
be re-purposed into a baptismal
outfit or a communion dress or
suit. Christian children are welcomed to the faith in white clothing, which is a symbol of purity
and cleansing of sin. Seamstresses can fashion beautiful
dresses or suits from original
wedding gowns.
Play clothes
Many little girls and boys like
to play dress-up. And rather than
have a gown sitting in the closet,
use it to make play clothes for little ones. The gown can be turned
into a dress for a fairy princess or
an ice queen.
Art
Use the gown as a background for artwork. Simply
stretch it across a wooden frame
and staple on the back. You then

have a handy canvas at the ready.
Nursery dcor
Decorate a baby's nursery
with a portion of the wedding or
prom dress, which can be turned
into a crib skirt, pillow or even
frilly curtains. A white or pastel
dress will blend with just about
anything, a bold or bright pattern
is great for an older childs room.
Anniversary tablecloth
A fun way to reuse a special
gown is to make a special event
tablecloth. Measure the length of
a dining table, and use your
imagination. Take it out each
year on the anniversary of your
special day.
Stuffed animals
Present children with cozy
friends that they can love for
years. Cut out a pattern for a
bunny or bear and use it to craft
a stuffed toy from the gown.
Visit a local craft shop for stuffing fill and buttons for eyes.
Donation
Some less fortunate people
cannot afford a gown. Work with
a church or shelter and find out
where you can donate the gown
to be used by someone who normally would not wear something
so lavish.
Theater prop
Many plays and musicals feature wedding scenes. An upstart
theater company may benefit
from having a wedding gown in
their costume department.
Handkerchief
Cut out a piece of your wedding gown and sew the hem.
Offer it as the "something old" or
"something borrowed" for a
loved one's wedding.
Make a little
Consignment and resale
shops are happy to take your
slightly used gown off your

return.

How to preserve bouquets and arrangements

A bride's gown may garner
its share of attention come her
wedding day, but floral arrangements also tend to impress
guests. Fresh flowers make a
wedding and the ensuing reception more inviting and appealing.
Instead of tossing beautiful
bouquets and other flowers into
the garbage once the wedding
day has come and gone, couples
can employ various methods to
preserve those impressive displays for years to come.
Air drying
One of the easiest ways to
preserve flowers is to dry them
out. This is best done by hanging blooms upside down so they
will remain straight and not
warp or wither while drying.
Secure flowers in small bundles and hang from an out-ofthe-way spot in a cool, dry area.
The flowers may need to remain
hanging for up to three weeks
before they are completely dried
out. After which, gently remove
the flowers and arrange them in
a vase or another container. Otherwise, reassemble a bouquet
how it was and carefully display.
Pressing
Pressing is another way to
preserve floral bouquets and
arrangements. To press flowers,
find a few heavy books to stack
or another weighted object.
Place the flowers between
parchment paper or waxed paper
and lay the heavy items on top.
You also can place the flowers

in tissue paper between the
pages of a book so they are not
jostled.
Leave the blooms for a week
or two and then check on them
before putting them in a shadow
box or photo frame.
Chemical drying
Silica gel, borax and regular
sand can be used to dry and preserve flowers as well. These can
be handy for people who desire
to preserve an entire bouquet asis.
Silica gel is a desiccant commonly found in small packets
inside of new shoes and purses.
It also can be purchased at home
improvement retailers and is
used to dry out musty basements
and other areas.
Fill a deep container halfway
with the silica gel or other drying material. Put in the bouquet
and then gently add more product to the top of the flowers so
they are completely submerged.
Place a snug cover over the top
of the container and let everything sit for about a week.
Slowly the moisture will be absorbed from the flowers.
Some people choose to spray

dried flowers with a sealant to
keep them looking nice longer.
An all-purpose craft spray might
work. You also can ask for recommendations from the florist
who handled your arrangements, and that florist may even
preserve the flowers for you for
an additional fee.

Rhonda Carlsons 3rd grade

students wrote to elementary
principal Kris Harlan about
some things they would like
added to the Maple Lake Elementary School.
Eliana Fuller - Dear Mrs.
Harlan, I am writing this letter
to you because I need to have
some more fun stuff added here
besides learning. We would like
to have a rodeo at our school.
You wont have to worry about
money. We will be careful
around the horses and we will
bring in money to pay for the
expenses. We also have teachers
who will stand by us so we
dont fall off. We will really be
very careful so we cant get
hurt. Love, Eliana Fuller.
Samuel Hughes - Dear Mrs.
Harlan, I am writing about an
idea of something that we could
add to our school. I think we
could add a museum to Maple
Lake Elementary. I think we
could display everyones pictures from 1st-6th grade that
they made in art class. I think it
would be cool to admire their
paintings. I know you might
think it is too expensive, but we
could do a fundraiser. It would
be cool to look at other peoples
art and paintings.
Cole LaFave - Dear Mrs.
Harlan, I think our school
should have a museum. We
could learn about rocks and
bones and other stuff. I think it

is a lot of money to buy a museum but I think it would be
worth it because we would learn
a lot. We could ask our community to help support it.
Dakota Z. - I think you
should put in a museum. A museum holding our schools history for the kids to learn more
about it. Like what year month
and day the school was built.
We will be very grateful to you
and follow every single little
and big rule. You will be the
greatest principal in the whole
universe! Dakota.
Sarah Jo Jensen - Dear
Mrs. Harlan, I think you should
put in a new tire swing because
the last one broke. Everyone
misses the old tire swing and I
miss it too. I know you might
think us kids have enough
things to play with but the tire
swing was one of our favorite
things on the playground. Mady
Payne adds, I am writing this
letter to ask for a new tire swing
because our old one broke from
last year. I think we should replace the one because it was so
much fun. I think it is important
to replace it because the kids
liked it so much. Ethan J.
OBrien Dear Mrs. Harlan, I
have a great idea for our school.
How about we get a tire swing?
All of the kids at the playground
want a tire swings. People want
to play with it much and liked

the old one a lot. I know it
would be lots of money but it
would be worth it. Think about
it please because people love
the tire swing idea, especially
me!
Jeremiah Skreen - I think
we should have a jungle gym
because they are so much fun.
Everyone would love it and it
wouldnt be too much money or
trouble. We could do some
fundraising to help pay for it. A
jungle gum would give us exercise and be a fun thing to do on
our playground, A fine student,
Jeremiah Skreen
Lilly Girard - Dear Mrs.
Harlan, I am writing to you because our school needs a vending machine. We need it
because I never have a snack. If
we get a vending machine I will
bring a dollar to school. Then I
will buy a snack myself. I will
use my allowance from doing
my chores. Kelsie Jude Dear
Mrs. Harlan, I think we need a
vending machine because if
someone doesnt have a snack
they can keep money in their
locker and get one. All the
snacks would be healthy and no
candy or pop in it. We can use
our lunch money to go to a
vending machine and have one
by the 2nd grade class room and
another one by the 5th graders
class room. All the money in the
vending machines can help pay
the staff that work here, Your
student, Kelsi Jude.- Charlee
Wurm & Tyler Condon,
Daimen, and Joey Spike add, I
have an idea of something we
should have in our school. A
vending machine. This would
help kids who dont bring a
snack. They could go to the

vending machine and buy one
like they do at the stores snack
cart. We can have healthy
snacks in our vending machine
and have one at the end of each
hallway. - Tatum adds, I think
we should get a vending machine. We can use it to help get
more money for our school. It
would cost $1.00 for a pear
shake. I know we have a snack
cart but this is another way to
help the kids get healthy snacks.
Makenna Wetch - Dear
Mrs. Harlan, I think we should
have a zip-line at recess and
take turns on it. We can put it on
the grass and not let anyone
under five years old go on it.
Ashton added, I think a zip-line
would be fun and help us build
strength to ourselves. If we
make rules and follow them it
will be safe for the students.
Charlie Nelson also writes that
he wants a zip-line: I want a
zip-line on our playground but
well need more space to fit it
in. We would have a school
danger zone and a safety zone.
We need an air bed too. We
should have a wooden fence
around the zip-line so people
wont get hurt when they fall. I
know you might think this is
too dangerous but if we make it
safe it would be a lot of fun.
Elizibith Redburn writes that
she was thinking about getting
a zip-line and how much fun it
would be for the students. We
can lay down some mats so we
wouldnt get hurt. There can be
a safe landing place by having
some mats and nets. I know that
it could be expensive but we
can raise the money. Love your
smart student, Grace Redburn.
New orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist joins Monticello Clinic
Orthopaedic surgeon and
sports medicine specialist Devanshu V. Kansara, MD, joined
the Monticello Clinic on Monday, February 16, 2015. Were
very excited to welcome Dr.
Kansara to our medical staff
and community, says Douglas
Hanson, CEO of Monticello
Clinic. His cutting edge surgical expertise and sports medicine skill set are a tremendous
addition to our orthopedic
Welcome John Hering, MD,

as chief medical officer
CentraCare Health - Monticello is proud to welcome John

Hering, MD, Family Practice, as
chief medical officer (CMO).
Dr. Hering graduated from the
University of Minnesota Medical School and served his Family Practice residency at North
Memorial Health Care. He
joined the Monticello Clinic in
August of 2001. Most recently,
Dr. Hering served as president
of Buffalo Clinic P.A., which in-
Sudoku
cludes the Buffalo Clinic, Monticello Clinic, and Albertville/St.

Michael Clinic. In accepting the
position of CMO, Dr. Hering
will be stepping down from his
role as president of Buffalo
Clinic P.A. but he will continue
to see patients at the Monticello
Clinic.
I look forward to expanding my ability to work with
leadership in a health care system such as CentraCare, said
Hering. I have had a lot of
leadership training in patient
safety and quality of care. To
bring this training to CentraCare
Health - Monticello is very exciting.
As CMO, Dr. Hering will
work closely with physicians
and hospital leadership to ensure quality and safety goals are
met, in addition to working on
expanding health care services
available locally.
The chief medical officer is
a relatively new role for many
hospitals, said Mary Ellen
Wells, administrator at CentraCare Health Monticello.
This person helps to bring the
medical staff and hospital managers together to coordinate
services and ensure the best care
possible. I am very excited since
Dr. Herings experience as a
top-notch physician and as a
leader make him a great candidate for this role. CentraCare
Health Monticello is very fortunate to have someone with his
leadership abilities.
team.
Prior to joining the Monticello Clinic, Dr. Kansara practiced at TRIA Orthopaedic
Center and served as the associate team physician for the Minnesota Timberwolves. You
start out as a fan first, enjoying
the contest and seeing the athletes perform, says Kansara.
But its incredibly rewarding
to help them return to their
sport and play again after caring
for an injury. I learn a lot from

athletes who push their bodies
to new heights. They give me a
remarkable understanding of
how joints and bones work together when pushed to the max.
I have a very strong subspecialty in shoulders and knees,
having performed extensive,
complex reconstruction of both
joints, says Kansara. Ive also
taught other physicians how to
perform complex shoulder and
knee surgeries, including

arthroscopic reconstruction and
minimally invasive surgeries on
the knee and shoulder.
Kansara is board certified in
orthopaedic surgery with an
added certificate in sports medicine. He received his medical
degree from the University of
Michigan Medical School in
Ann Arbor, Michigan. Kansara
completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Wayne State
University in Detroit, Michigan

and his sports medicine fellowship at TRIA Orthopaedic Center in Minneapolis.

Sports
Irish boys golfers have high expectations

By Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
Maple Lake High School

golfers have the skills and the
experience to be contenders this
year.
With five varsity golfers returning from last years squad,
the Irish are aiming for a Central
Minnesota Conference title and
hope to send at least a couple
athletes to state.
The boys played a lot of
golf this summer and Ive seen
it pay off already in just three
days of practice, coach Aaron
Hegle said. They are already
shooting some low 40s. . .we
have a legitimate shot at sending
a couple kids to state if they continue to improve like they did
during the summer.
Backing up those five returning varsity players are three
more athletes with at least some
varsity experience who bring
different strengths to the team.
I think they all have the
ability to go low at any time,
Hegle said.
Last year the essentially
same team - minus two golfers
who graduated - earned third
place in the CMC, and finished
towards the back in a tough
section. No one went to state.
Goals this year are for the
team to win the CMC and, with
the guys coming back, I think
we have a great opportunity to
do just that, Hegle said.
To do that, the Irish will have
to get by a tough Osakis team.
He expects Osakis and Maple
Lake to be the top two in the
conference this year. Rockford
has dominated conference play
in the past, he added, but they
lost some key players to graduation.
As for sections, it will be a
struggle, Hegle said, thanks to a
crew of tough Wright County
schools, including Delano,
Litchfield and Annandale, plus
an assortment of private schools
thrown into the mix.
Our section is pretty tough
and, to be honest, it is going to

be very difficult to advance as a
team, but anything can happen,
he said.
That doesnt mean the Irish
wont be represented at state by
some individuals this year.
I have two guys coming
back that finished in a tie for
fifth place in individual standings last year and we are hoping
one of them can improve on
that. Hopefully we can send
someone to the state tournament
for the first time in school history.
The athletes attitudes will
take them far, their coach predicted.
I think the strongest part of
our game is our attitudes and
how quickly my guys can shake
off a bad shot or a tough hole,
Hegle said.
They dont compound mistake after mistake, they shake it
off and get over it very quickly.
After the long winter, it will
be the players short game that
will need some polishing as they

step out onto the greens for the
first time this spring.
We will be working to get
that short game back at practice, Hegle said.
The Irish golfers kicked off
practice on Monday, March 16,
despite some cold weather. On
Thursday, April 16, they are
scheduled to travel to Kimball
for their first meet of the season.

Stokmans first All-Star game

David Stokman, a Maple
Lake High School basketball
player, had seven points last
weekend in the Minnesota Basketball Coaches Association 33rd
Annual All-Star Series.
Thats saying something for
the Irish senior whose teammates
consisted of some of the top seniors in the state. Eleven of the 40
players who made up the four
competing teams at last weekends tournament have signed
with Division I colleges. Thirteen
will attend Division II schools.

Scores were in the double digits as these talented athletes
duked it out at Halenbeck Hall on
Friday, March 27th.
Stokmans Maroon team lost
to the Gold, 117 to 115.
Competition resumed on Saturday, March 28, at Leonard
Center on the Macalester College
campus in St. Paul.
It was a great honor to be selected, Stokman said, adding
that it was a humbling experience to be able to play against all
those Division I athletes.
Although a little nervous to

begin with, the Maple Lake ballplayer said he was able to relax
and have fun once the game got
going.
Stokman helped lead the Irish
to a 26-2 season this year and a
Central Minnesota Conference
Championship. He also broke the
all-time school record of 1,534
points set by Mitch Wurm in
2011.
He plans on attending either
St. Thomas or St. Johns University after graduation and will
play basketball there.
Stokman was selected as 1 of the 3 players from the Maroon Team to take part in the 3point shootout contest.
County Board
In other items on the March
24 agenda, the board:
* Approved applying for state
grant funding for an inventory of
land around lakes and rivers with
the potential of an implementation of a 50-foot buffer strip on
agricultural land surrounding
public waters (lakes and rivers),
creating a berm to stop additional sediment from getting into
the waterways and improve
water quality. Borrell vehemently opposed the proposal,
saying that it would effectively
take away land from farmers
without compensation, which
Borrell claims is unconstitutional. The vote to approve the
process of seeking grant funding
was unanimous after Borrell got
the word compliance removed
a handful of times from the grant
proposal.
* Accepted the annual report
of Wright County Medical Examiner Dr. Quinn Strobl. In
2014, there were 456 deaths in
Wright County, an increase of 3
percent from 2013. Of the
deaths, 12 were from motor vehicle-related accidents, three
more than 2013. Four of those
deaths were alcohol-related, two

were attributed to icy roads, two
involved motorcyclists and one
involved a snowmobile. There
were 22 accidental deaths, six of
which were attributed to overdoses or heroin, methamphetamine, prescribed morphine and
oxycodone. There were also 13
suicides in 2014, one more than
in 2013 consisting of 10 males
and three females.
* Set the budget committee of
the whole public hearing for 6
p.m. Thursday, April 16, in the
county board room.
* Heard a presentation from
Barb Chaffee, CEO of the Central Minnesota Jobs and Training
Services. She presented the
county board with the CMJTS
2014 annual report. Wright
County is one of 11 counties in
the CMJTS, which includes
Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec,
Kandiyohi, McLeod, Meeker,
Mille Lacs, Pine, Renville, Sherburne and Wright counties.
* Approved payment of
$3,172 to Madden, Galenter &
Hanson for union negotiation
work performed on behalf of the
county in February.
* Authorized a one-year contract agreement with Motorola

for maintenance of the countys
emergency 800 MHz radio system, which is used by the sheriffs department, highway
department and other emergency
agencies within Wright County.
The annual cost is $54,110 for
2015.
* Delayed the effective date
for revisions to the countys personnel policy concerning employee leaves to July 1.
* Approved appointing Delano Mayor Dale Graunke to
represent Wright County on the
Region 7W Transportation Policy Board. Graunke was selected
as the nominee at the March 18
Mayors Association meeting.
* Scheduled a labor/management loss control committee of
the whole meeting for 11 a.m.
following the April 28 county
board meeting. The meeting
would combine the typical loss
control meeting with the annual
report from the Minnesota Counties Intergovernmental Trust.
* Approved the countys January revenue/expenditure budget
report.
