May is Stroke
Awareness Month
Stroke is a leading cause of
serious, long-term disability and
fifth for death in the United
States, according to the American Stroke Association. Strokes
occur when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and vital nutrients
to the brain is either blocked by
a clot or ruptures. When this occurs, part of the brain is deprived
of blood and oxygen, destroying
millions of valuable nerve cells
within minutes.
The resulting damage can
lead to significant disability, including paralysis, speech problems and emotional difficulties.
Treatment may be available if
you get to the emergency room
immediately upon recognition of
stroke symptoms. Unfortunately,
only 25 percent of patients experiencing an acute stroke seek immediate medical treatment,
reports the article in the Journal
of American Heart Association,
Reducing the Delay Between
Stroke Onset and Hospital Arrival: Is It an Achievable Goal?
Act FAST at the first sign of
stroke. FAST stands for: Facial
weakness, arm weakness,
speech difficulties and T is for
Time is brain call 911.
Other stroke symptoms:
Sudden severe headache
without known cause
Sudden weakness or
numbness, sometimes on one
side of the body
Sudden dizziness, difficulty
walking, or loss of balance/
coordination
Sudden confusion and trouble
speaking or understanding
Sudden trouble seeing in one
or both eyes
Stroke risk factors:
High blood pressure
Heavy alcohol use
High cholesterol
Physical inactivity and obesity
Heart disease
Atrial fibrillation
(irregular heartbeat)
Diabetes
Family history of stroke
Smoking
Leading a healthy lifestyle,
including lowering risks factors
like high blood pressure and
weight, can also help reduce
your stroke risk.

I remember when the neighbors first got a car with windows

in it, Ethel Fobbe recalled with
a smile as she sat comfortably in
an armchair at her home in
Maple Lake Manor. They were
driving around town, honking
their horn.
Fobbe is full of stories that
begin with I remember when . .
. and in my day.
Its not surprising, really, at
nearly 100 years old, Fobbe has
a lot of stories stored away in her
memory. Stories about the days
of Prohibition when her fathers
saloon business was put out of
business when Minnesota became a dry state; stories about
the bustling community Maple
Lake used to be with three grocery stores, cafes and a movie
theater; and the evolution of
technology that brought her electricity, television and her first refrigerator.
There have certainly been a
lot of changes, she said.
Fobbe is the fifth oldest and
only remaining child of 12 brothers and sisters, and she has lived
her entire life in Maple Lake. On
Tuesday, May 12, she will turn
100 years old.
Her family and friends will
help her celebrate her long life
on Sunday, May 17, at an open
house at the American Legion
Club in Maple Lake from 2 to 5

p.m.
It was a different world when
Fobbe was young. Cars were really just buggies with a motor.
Her neighbors were the first people she knew to own a car with
windows.
Fobbe was born in 1915 to
Thomas and Annie Smith in her
familys home in Maple Lake.
Back then her dad made a living
as a saloon owner.
I used to have a picture of
dad at the saloon with all these
spittoons lined up along the wall.
I guess it wasnt very sanitary,
she laughed.
When Prohibition started, the
family moved to the citys outskirts on County Road 7 and
began farming. In 1939 Fobbe
married her childhood friend,
Roy.
We knew each other all our
lives, Fobbe said. Our parents
were good friends.
The couple was married only
six months when they moved out
to Roys family farm to help take
care of his father and nephews.
His mother had died in childbirth.
For many years the family
didnt even have electricity, and
when they finally did get it,
Fobbe remembers thinking, oh,
it cant get any better than this.
Eventually they became one of
the first families in the area to get
a refrigerator.
The Fobbes farmed until 1950

when they moved back into

Maple Lake. Thats where they
raised their six children, Mary,
Marge, Patty, Bob, Barb and
Lori. That was also when they
got their first television.
Fobbe wasnt too impressed.
She remembers turning on the
black and white set and a western
was playing.
All I heard was a bunch of
cows bawling, she said.
Maple Lake itself was a lot
different back then, too. Fobbe
remembers a time when the
small town was populated with
hardware stores, a clothing store,
a couple of grocery stores and, at
one point, there was even a hotel
where the American Legion is
now, she said.
But there is more to Fobbe
than just stories.
She is a good woman, her
daughter, Patty Purcell, said.
Whenever somebody was sick
she would bake them cookies or
be taking them soup. She is always nice, always giving to other
people.
Getting a gift of food from
Fobbe was always appreciated as
she was reportedly a very good
cook and everybody knew it.
A lot of visitors would come
by for her homemade bread, her
daughter, Barb Menth, recalled.
Fobbe was also known for her
chicken dinners and a lot of
memories were made around the
table on Sundays, her daughters

Ethel Fobbe has lived in Maple Lake for 100 years on

Tuesday, May 12. Thats when she will celebrate her 100th
birthday. Friends and family are invited to an open house
in her honor at the American Legion Club in Maple Lake,
(Photo submitted)
Sunday, May 17, from 2 to 5 p.m.
said. She also makes really good
carrot cake, Menth added.
In 1988, her husband, Roy
died. It wasnt her first loss. A
pair of twins suffered the same
fate years earlier. The first infant
lived for only an hour and the
second survived just long
enough to be baptized.
Today, Fobbe is the proud
grandmother of 18 grandchildren, 33 greatgrandchildren and

three great-great-grandchildren.
She is a very big fan of the
Maple Lake Lakers baseball
team - her son, Bobbie, and two
grandsons have played for them
- is a member of St. Timothy
Catholic Church, the Council of
Catholic women and the Ladies
Auxiliary.
I have no desire to live anywhere else. Maple Lake is where
my family is, Fobbe said.

Spring weight restrictions lifted

Even though the weather was

a perfect April evening, it didnt
keep 154 high school seniors
from heading indoors for the
28th Annual Students of Excellence Banquet and Recognition
Ceremony. The event was
Wednesday, April 29, at the
Rivers Edge Convention Center
in St. Cloud with over 600 attending, including parents, favorite teachers, and school
administrators.
As the crowd gathered prior
to the event, students greeted
one another and visited about
spring sports, prom, plans for
college and just wondered what
this evening would be about. On
the other hand, parents talked
about their children leaving for
college in the fall, the weather
and if the Minnesota Twins
would win that night. The foyer
was filled with laughter and
warmth.

The evenings presentations

began with Dr. Rob Cavanna,
executive director of Resource,
referencing the movie Dead
Poets Society. English teacher,
John Keating played by Robin
Williams, uses unorthodox
teaching methods to get his students to think differently, to use
their imagination and knowledge. Cavanna used Keatings
command to carpe diem as his
own challenge to honorees. Use
your time wisely, take advantage
of opportunities and challenges,
and to help others along the
way, Cavanna added.
Paul Durand, Rockford
School District, served as the
presiding superintendent for the
evening. He brought words of
congratulation on behalf of the
superintendents in the region.
You are the messengers we
send into the future, he said.
We are confident our world will
be in good hands.

Black bear sighting

northwest Maple Lake

by Harold Brutlag
Correspondent

The ending date for Spring weight restrictions on Wright County highways will be
Thursday, May 7, 2015, at 12:01 a.m. The Wright County highways that are subject to
spring weight restrictions are shown on the map above. Please check with Cities and
Townships to verify when they will be lifting weight restrictions on their roads.

Gordon Henry, 6780 Gowan

Ave., Corinna Twp., and his
wife, Patty, saw this black bear
on their property Sunday night
about 7:30-8:00 p.m.
He said seeing a black glob
where there wasnt supposed to
be anything was his first inkling
of identifying the bear.
Henry said he got his camera,
which he acknowledged was an
inexpensive model, and took
several photos of the animal as it
left his property.
I parked my vehicle on the
township road hill after I spotted
the bear in the brush and swamp.

It stood on its hind legs when a

pickup came by and the truck
kept it from crossing the road
into the Frank Hogan property,
he said. It eventually crossed the
road as is shown in the lower
photo.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Pelicans, apparently on their way north, chose Mud Lake as a stopping point and a place to chow down the past 10 days or so. Id guess
there are over 100 feasting on minnows and small sunfish which seem
to be next to the bullrushes on that lake across from the swimming
beach on Hwy. 55. Usually the bait dealers have minnow traps there,
but I havent noticed any, or I completely missed them. Regardless,
the pelicans add an attraction to Mud Lake, especially when they congregate to hunt and stuff themselves. They can cause quite a commotion and are fun to watch, but Im hoping theyll stay away from
Maple Lake where many of us like to fish sunfish.

It sounds like Minnesota will get meaningful rain showers on
Wednesday and Thursday with the most on Thursday. That should
make the local farmers happy with only about a half-inch falling this
spring. I suspect most will have the corn planted by now which would
make a shower timely. The long-range forecast predicts showers for
Saturdays fishing opener which probably are tolerable for most anglers. The temps are supposed to be in the 60s and if the winds arent
howling, I suspect Ill try walleye fishing in one or two of Ottertail
Countys 1,000 lakes over the weekend. My only advice is to take
your rain gear along and use shiner minnows or night crawlers for
bait.

Each time the American Legion and VFW Posts get called on to
participate at a funeral for servicemen or women I am impressed with
those who respond to form the Color Guard. Im also noticing the age
of the Color Guard participants isnt getting any younger. For that reason, and for the general welfare of both organizations, Im suggesting
servicemen and women who arent presently members of the Amer-

ican Legion Post 131 or VFW Post 7664, or their Auxiliaries, to join
these organizations. Not only to participate at funerals, but to assist
with other programs in the Maple Lake community. Their success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism.
Some of the benefits of the active posts in Maple Lake are high school
scholarships, a Memorial Day program, summer Legion baseball, representatives for Boys and Girls County and State programs, Poppy
Day, etc. Community organizations also benefit from proceeds of
post charitable gambling programs and through weekly meat raffles.
The American Legion Post meets the second Tuesday of each
month at 7:30 p.m. at the Legion Club. Curt Maxson is the present
commander and Toni Paumen the Auxiliary president. The VFW Post
meets each third Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. at The V by HH
on Maple Ave. N. Robert Carnes is the commander and Jenny Pecarina, the Auxiliary president. Servicepeople who would like to assist
these organizations need only to sign up with either, or both, which
can be done at their monthly meetings or by contacting the commanders.
The success of these posts depends entirely on active membership,
participation and volunteerism. The next function of the American
Legion Post 131 will be the Memorial Day program which is May
25. This includes a speaker, the Legion and VFW Post and Auxiliary
members, the high school band, and Boy Scout members marching
to the city park for a program. Memorial Day is traditionally seen as
the start of the summer season and is observed to commemorate all
the men and women who have died in military service of the United
State. The program begins at 10 a.m. If youre watching along the
parade, remember to stand up, take off your cap or hat, and place your
right hand over your heart as the flags pass by.

For the fashion conscious, it was seen as acceptable to wear white
clothing, particularly shoes, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but
not during the balance of the year. Back in the late 50s I remember
some lady friends of mine wore white shoes to a wedding in September after Labor Day in Chicago. They werent aware of this unwritten
white rule, and came back to Henning more than slightly taken aback
for showing up dressed so improperly. I think its pretty safe to say
the white rule is not in vogue anymore!

When Connie and I are in the

air, we love to enjoy the beautiful
scenery below. As long as we
stay at a higher altitude, other
planes are usually the only concern. OK, so that can be a big
problem, but due to advanced
avionics, good training and common sense awareness, mid-air
collisions with other aircraft are
very rare.
So, weve secured our safe
place in the sky? Not so fast! As
we fly at lower altitudes to enjoy
the farms, lakes, small towns and
fall foliage, we enter territory inhabited by other aviation buffs,
like ducks, geese, pelicans, seagulls, hawks and eagles. Sparrows
and other small birds dont usually get up to cruising altitude
and if we hit one down lower,
near the airport, we definitely
win. But the larger birds can
raise havoc with small aircraft
and are something we want to
avoid; we may not win. So we
keep our eyes scanning for anything that wants to be where we
are; eyes out the window.
Were on our own to see and
avoid. Its not uncommon to
have an eagle or hawk pass close
to the plane, even at 5,000 feet in
altitude or higher. But, most
birds who are in flocks fly under
3,000 feet, an altitude that many
pilots fly when sight-seeing or
just practicing. A deer can knock
your car off the road. A single
pelican or goose can knock a
small plane out of the air. Eyes
out the window.
At Maple Lake airport, we
have a pesky flock of seagulls
who like to make life miserable
during takeoffs and landings.
There are usually about fifty of
them hanging around together.
Ive tried to get them to bug off
by driving close to them in my

Jeep (on the taxiway, not the runway), and jumping out yelling or
blowing my horn. Not a chance;
theyre waiting. We get into the
plane and taxi into position for
takeoff. Now comes the big
game of chicken. As our plane
gains speed down the runway,
we watch the flock getting closer
and closer. Nothing moves.
Then, at the last second they
chicken out and fly, right
where I need to lift off. A few
choice words spew out of my
mouth, I pull back on the yoke
and just in the nick of time, they
fly back down toward the runway to avoid the big bird that
is approaching, and I just miss
them. Were coming back to
land, but what is the white blob
on the runway? Its the same old
gang, waiting right where I want
to touch down. Waiting for another game of chicken.
There are dogs at some larger
airports, trained to chase birds
from the airport property. We can
have one here, too, but someone
needs to divvy up $6,500 to do
the training. One island-based
airport has brought pigs onto the
property, where they eat the
seagull eggs and run around harassing the birds. Id rather hit a
bird. Others try noise cannons,
loud whistles and dead seagulls
placed by the runway. Ive been
tempted to sneak up on them and
pop a few with my trusty 12gauge, but then I probably
wouldnt be flying for a while.
Pilots are imitating birds, not
the other way around. So, if we
can give them the right-of-way, I
guess we should. But, I cant
help thinking those airport seagulls know exactly how much
they get under our skin.
Until next month, stay out of
the trees!

Bear Sighting
continued from page 1
Henry said he estimated the
bear to be 3 feet tall at its shoulders and he called his small dog
back when it headed for the
brush.
Henry said its the first bear
or bear tracks hes seen since
1988 when they moved here. He
also talked with his neighbors,
Frank Hogan, a long-time resident; and with people at the

Frank Sullivan farm. Neither

had seen any bears in the area.
Henry said the Sullivans had
concerns about the bear sighting
inasmuch as they raise beef cattle for show and had several
two- to three-week-old calves
on their property. Henry said
they used some noise-makers
that evening to scare off the
bear.

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: Does the Minnesota State Patrol use dogs
within its agency?
Answer: Yes. This spring,
Minnesota State Patrol (MSP)
canine handlers and their fourfooted partners took top honors
at the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) Regional Certification Trials. Their
wins qualify them to participate
in the June U.S. championships,
where theyve won three national titles since 2007.
In Region 12, Trooper Doug
Rauenhorst and K-9 Diesel won
1st place in vehicle searches,
and Trooper Derrick Hagen and
K-9 partner, Jack, won first
place overall. At the Region 18
event, Sgt. Gary Harms and Otis
placed second overall, and
Trooper Brett Westbrook and K9 Skippy took first place overall.
The Minnesota State Patrol
currently has 10 K-9 troopers
who work exclusively with a
specific handler. The Troopers
and their dogs conduct about
400 missions each year.
The State Patrol dogs
mostly Belgian Malinois, with
the occasional Labrador or
Shepherd recruit are trained
to detect the smell of narcotics
and/or explosives. Theyre
tested and selected for MSP
training based on specific, individual characteristics like the
drive to hunt, ability to detect
scent, andwelldogged determination. The best drug dogs
just dont want to give up.
All K-9 troopers are certified
by the USPCA. Certification is
important when evidence discovered by a canine is presented
in court.
Certification tests include
competitions in which handlers
work their dogs through three
rooms. One room is clean no
drugs, but lots of distractions
(food, human and chemical
odors.) The other two are set up
similarly, but with hidden drugs.
The dog is expected to recognize
the drug odor and pinpoint its location with behavioral cues in
order to become a certified K-9
Trooper. The dog is scored on
timing and behavior; the handler
is scored on ability to work the
dog and read their partners
cues.
A second certification test involves a line-up of five vehicles.
Three have drugs hidden in
them; two are clean. Again, tim-

ing, accuracy and teamwork are

the criteria as judges watch for
outstanding performance by
dogs and their handlers.
Their primary trainer, Sgt.
Chad Mills, and Cpl. Tony Snyder were instructed in U.S. Border Patrol training methods.
They selected and trained all 10
of the current K-9 teams.
Trooper Derrick Hagen just
completed a canine instructor
program; he now has the ability
to train dogs in both drug and
explosives detection.
A trained dog can walk the
top of a semi-load of materials
and recognize the smell of
drugs. He (or she; they use dogs
of both genders) can slip through
the spaces between loaded items
to pinpoint the location of a
stash. The accuracy and efficiency their noses and drive
bring to MSP operations saves
time, money and ultimately
lives. In many cases, theyre
keeping narcotics out of the
hands of dealers.
National USPCA competitions are coming up soon in
Jackson, Miss., and well let you
know if the MSP K-9 Unit
brings home the gold again.

County turns back $2.8 million to general fund

by John Holler
Correspondent

When the U.S economy hit

the skids in the latter portion of
the last decade, everyone was
forced to tighten their belts, including local governments. In
order to avoid layoffs, Wright
County took the approach to
spend money only as needed,
not necessarily as budgeted.
The result was that Wright
County was able to ride out the
recession without laying off any
employees.
It would seem that eye to
saving money rather than
spending it all has carried over.

At the April 28 meeting of the

Wright County Board, Auditor/Treasurer Bob Hiivala announced that the year-end
budget review for 2014 showed
that Wright County turned back
$2.81 million to the general
fund.
I think its a testament to the
department heads of the county
that they dont feel obligated to
spend all of the money theyre
budgeted for, Hiivala said.
There was a time that you see
expenditures spike in November and December as departments felt like they had to spend
their budget money or lose it.

You dont see that anymore.

They spend what they need and
if theres money left over, they
turn it back.
Over the last five years, the
county budgets have turned
back more than $15 million to
the general fund from unexpended budget dollars. What
makes that number more impressive is that there isnt fat
built into the budgets that would
account for the excess turn-back
dollars.
It never fails to amaze me
how the departments find ways
to turn back that much money,
Hiivala said. If we see line

items in budgets that seem out

of line that arent being used,
we reduce them the following
year. Sometimes revenues exceed projections, but we do the
same with them increase them
if theyre consistently bringing
in more than budgeted. The department heads work together
extremely well to keep our
budgets in line and costs down.
For those interested, the entire 29-page, year-end budget
review is available to be read
online at the countys website.

Chief Justice Gildea proclaims Juror Appreciation Week May 4-8

Minnesota Supreme Court
Chief Justice Lorie S. Gildea
has proclaimed May 4 to May 8
Juror Appreciation Week. The
Judicial Branch will use this occasion to express appreciation
for those Minnesotans who
have answered the call to jury
service. A copy of the Chief Justices proclamation can be
found here.
The right to a trial by jury is
one of the core protections of
individual freedom in American
society. The Constitutions of the
United States and the State of
Minnesota guarantee defendants in criminal cases and litigants in civil cases the right to
a trial by jury.
Jury service is a privilege
and responsibility of citizenship, providing the opportunity

for people from diverse backgrounds to have direct contact

with our democracy and to actively participate in the justice
system, said Chief Justice
Gildea. It is important for the
judiciary to acknowledge the
dedication of citizens who report for jury service and to recognize employers who support
employee leave for jury service.
During the week, in addition
to the proclamation being
posted in courts in every county,
various activities will recognize
prospective jurors. Some will
receive American flags and
thank you notes. Some will be
served cookies and be read the
proclamation by a judge. Some
district courts will be submitting
an article related to Juror Appre-

ciation Week to their local

newspapers for publication.
Each year, the Minnesota Judicial Branch obtains names
from drivers licenses, state ID
cards, and voter registration
lists and compiles that information into a composite source list.
From that list, individuals are
randomly selected by computer
and mailed a summons to appear for jury duty. From an eligible population of 3.7 million
people, approximately 180,000
Minnesota citizens are summoned to serve as jurors in the
state courts every year.
A prospective juror must be
a United States citizen, a resident of the county in which they
are summoned, at least 18 years
old, able to communicate in
English, physically and men-

tally capable of serving, a person who has had their civil

rights restored if they have been
convicted of a felony, and a person who has not served as a
state or federal juror in the past
four years.
Persons summoned for jury
duty can complete the required
qualification
questionnaire
through the Judicial Branch
website (www.mncourts.gov).
The online form gives citizens
the option of delivering their
summons response to the court
at any time of day, and it saves
the price of a stamp.
More details about jury service, including frequently asked
questions and an orientation
video, All Rise: Jury Service in
Minnesota, can be found at

Mock crash demonstration at school Thursday

Maple Lake School would like parents to be aware of a mock
crash demonstration that will be conducted on Thursday, May 7,
from 9 to 11 a.m. in the back parking lot. This demonstration will be
viewed by 9-12th grade students. Be aware that there will be multiple
EMT vehicles such as ambulances, helicopter, fire trucks and sheriff
deputy vehicles. Please note that entry to the school through the back
lot will not be available from 8:15-11:00.

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!

School News
Teens & Technology
is May 6
Parents and concerned community members are invited to
Teens and Technology (inappropriate use and consequences) on
Wednesday, May 6, from 6:307:30 p.m. in the Maple Lake
High School auditorium.
In this presentation, Karen
Evans will share her knowledge
of the potential risks and dangers
our youth are facing today because of social media and technology, including what is
referred to as sexting, a term
used to describe the transmission
of nude and semi-nude photos
via cell phone. As a result of the
ever-changing world of technology, several unintended consequences have impacted students,
schools, and the community.
Youth and adults are often unaware of the possible consequences if technology is used
inappropriately. Through a
power point presentation that includes videos, case examples and
statistics, attendees will have a
clear understanding of the trends
in social media and the seriousness of these issues.

Evans is currently serving as

restorative justice agent in
Wright County Court Services.
She is a trained mediator, facilitates victim offender and community conferences, and played
an integral role in developing a
diversion/conference procedure
for juvenile sexting cases. She is
also actively involved in public
speaking and has designed and
facilitated presentations on Teens
and Technology, Cyber bullying,
and Sexting. She has been invited to speak at schools, for both
students and parents, and at professional organization workshops.

Red Cross summer

scholarship program
This summer, high school and
college students can win a scholarship by hosting an American
Red Cross blood drive through
the Leaders Save Lives program.
Registration is now open to host
a participating blood drive between June 1 and Aug. 31, 2015.

The Leaders Save Lives program encourages communityminded 16- to 24-year-olds to

host blood drives to help maintain the blood supply over the
summer months. Students who
participate as a blood drive coordinator are eligible to win a
scholarship up to $2,500 for
higher education and to earn a
gift card.
The Leaders Save Lives program is a great way for students
to learn valuable leadership skills
while helping hospital patients in
need of lifesaving blood transfusions, said Red Cross North
Central Blood Services CEO,
Geoff Kaufman. Summer can
be a challenging time to maintain
a sufficient blood supply. With
this program, students are helping the community by recruiting
their friends and family to donate
during this crucial season.
A total of 10 scholarships will
be awarded via drawing to students who achieve 100 percent
of their blood drive collections
goal. All students who achieve
the designated blood drive goal

Students of Excellence
continued from page 1
The keynote speaker, Renee
Rongen, shared her thoughts
about dreams and aspirations.
Parents have dreams for their
kids. But, kids have their own
dreams and goals, she said.
Rongen selected Brittney, a
young lady in the front row, and
asked her what her dream was.
Brittney said she wanted to be a
marine biologist to work with
dolphins, whales and especially
sharks. Rongen went on to say
that in order for Brittney to fulfill that dream it will take hard
work, surrounding herself with
positive people and learn from
failures or disappointments.
Every morning I look in the
mirror and ask myself, What
am I going to do today with this
wild and precious life? How can

I better today for me, for my

family, for those I can touch?
concluded Rongen.
The evening was dedicated to
honoring the top 154 high
school seniors from than 38 Region 7 high schools. The honorees were nominated by their
school or district and received a
plaque recognizing their accomplishments and a certificate from
Governor Dayton. Over the past
28 years there have been 4,394
honored seniors.
Ken Anderson, Board Chair
at Resource, extended congratulations and a word or two of advice
to
the
honorees.
Additionally, Anderson took a
moment to thank Dr. Cavanna
for his dedication to the students
and staff as he will be retiring in

Resource recycling: Its important in fishing, too

By Brad Parsons
DNR central region fisheries manager

Most anglers I know enjoy a

cold beverage after a busy day on
the water. And whether that beverage comes in plastic, glass or
aluminum, they also know the
importance of recycling the container to conserve resources.
But resource recycling is
important while actually fishing,
too. With catch-and-release increasingly common, anglers
should know the right way to
practice it so the fish can swim
off and live to grow bigger and
be caught another day. Thats especially important on lakes with
special or experimental regulations where some fish have to be
released.
Extensive research by the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and others demonstrate conclusively that most fish
will survive the catch-and-release experience if anglers focus
on four key factors that affect
mortality: water temperature,
hooking location, depth, and
time out of water.
When it comes to temperature, the warmer the water, the
more stress on the fish and the

higher the mortality. Fish are

cold-blooded animals, but most
people like to fish in the summer
months. While anglers cant
control the weather, they can be
prepared. Set the hook quickly,
reduce the amount of time it
takes to land a fish, and handle it
firmly but carefully. Its also important to minimize the time out
of water for the fish. Pictures are
wonderful, but have the camera
ready. Invest in some long needle-nose pliers for hook removal,
and the ones with a bend at the
end are even better. Cutting the
line and leaving the hook is also
a viable option.
Hooking location is also part
of the equation. Fish hooked in
the mouth almost always survive. How do you increase the
odds of that? Use active baits,
such as crankbaits. Hook type
also matters. Several studies
have shown that circle hooks are
better for hooking the mouth
rather than the stomach or gills.
Jigs are less likely to become
deeply hooked than plain hooks.
Barbless hooks or pinched barbs
also can help, but where a fish
gets hooked is far more important than the presence or absence

of a barb, so set the hook quickly.

The DNR also encourages anglers to practice some restraint
when the fish are really biting,
especially during the summer or
when fishing deep water. Scuba
divers know that once you get
below 33 feet, you have another
full atmosphere of pressure on
your body, so you have to re-surface slowly. Similarly, fish
pulled up from deep water can
experience stress and injury, so
its important to avoid deep
water if you plan on catch-andrelease. The injury may be apparent, such as a distended swim
bladder, but unseen internal injuries can and do happen as well.
Remember to never pop a
swim bladder, it is not only illegal in Minnesota, but often does
more harm than good.
Here are a few more tips for
successfully releasing fish:
Play fish quickly to minimize their exhaustion.
Wet your hands before
touching a fish to prevent removal of their protective slime
coat.
Rubberized nets help, too.
Unhook and release the fish
while it is still in the water, if

possible, and support its weight

with both hands or with a net
when removed from the water.
Never lift them vertically from
the water.
Hold a fish firmly but gently. Dont drop it. And don't hold
a fish by the eyes.
Do not place fish you plan
to release on a stringer or in a
live well.
Revive a fish by cradling it
under the belly and gently moving it back and forth in the water
until it swims away.
Do not release a fish that can
be legally kept if it is bleeding
heavily or cant right itself.
No good angler wants to see
a released fish die. In fact, an impetus for this article was the concerned members of our citizens
Walleye Workshop. By following good catch-and-release techniques, anglers can recycle this
valuable resource. This allows all
of us to continue enjoying our
sport and it reduces impacts to
the fishery, ensuring similar opportunities for others, now and in
the future.
I think anyone could hoist a
cold beverage (in a recyclable
container) to that.

Girls golf fifth at Pierz Irish softball is 12-1

By Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

Vienna Jude led the girls golf

team to a fifth-place finish last
week by shooting a 46 on the
Pierz Golf Course.
That was two strokes under
her average which is a good
day for her, coach Bruce Bakeberg said.
The Irish golfers traveled to
Pierz on Thursday, April 28, to
compete for the first time as a
full team.
Ashley Marty shot a 60 for
the Irish; Katelyn Webb shot a
64; and Andrea Peterson shot a
62.
We didnt do quite as well
as I thought, but we took fifth
place out of seven teams,
Bakeberg said. I still think we
can do better.
Central Minnesota Conference leaders Belgrade-BrootenElrosa and Osakis claimed the
top two spots Thursday at the
CMC meet. B-B-E was first
with 186 points and Osakis was
second with 187. Pierz came in
third with 205, Howard LakeWaverly-Winsted was fourth
with 226 and Maple Lake shot a
232 for fifth.
Judes performance earned

her a 7th place ranking in the

conference with a 48.3 average.
Her game Thursday was also
good enough for the fourth best
score of the day.
Peterson is currently 25th in
the CMC and Webb is ranked
26th.
Overall I think Katey and
Ashley can shoot a little better
than they did Thursday, Bakeberg said.
This week, on Thursday,
May 7, the Irish will travel to
Kimball for a 4:15 p.m. competition.
One of these weeks were
going to get into the number 3
position. They are very capable
of doing that, Bakeberg said.
They have been working hard
and are a great bunch of girls.

Irish golfers stay on top

of standings at Rockford
By Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

The Maple Lake boys golf

team shot its best score of the
season on its way to another
first-place finish in the Central
Minnesota Conference, Thursday, April 30.
Jeremy Mills and Aidan Jude
led the team to its 164-stroke
finish by each shooting a 39 on
the nine-hole Shamrock Golf
Course in Rockford.
Brandon Borell shot a 41 and
Jordan Mills shot a 45 to round
it off.
The boys shot extremely
well and all golfers were under
50 which hasn't happened in a
while, coach Aaron Hegle said.
Jeremy Mills played a great
round and doubled the last hole
for a wonderful 39. I'm sure he
would like to have that hole
back. Aidan matched him with a
39 as well, as they led the
team.
Osakis and Rockford tied for
second with a 168.
The Irishs continued success
has kept them at the top of the

conference standings after three

meets with an average of 509. In
second is Osakis with a 540 average.
Borell and Jude top the CMC
as well. Jude leads with a 40stroke average and Borell is second with a 41-stroke average.
The team played very well
and, so far, I'm very proud of
how the guys are playing and
we'll continue to get better and
hopefully our scores will continue to drop, Hegle said.
Up next for the Irish is Pierz
at 4:15 p.m., on Thursday, May
7, for another conference tournament.

The Maple Lake softball

team is 12-1 after four more
wins on the road last week.
The Irish kicked off their
winning ways on Monday, April
27, when they defeated Rockford 12-3. On Wednesday, April
29, they beat Litchfield 11-6
then on Saturday, May 2, they
defeated Little Falls 12-0 and
Alexandria 5-4 at the Alexandria
Invitational.
We played very well everywhere, coach Tim Knudsen
said.
The Rockets are a Central
Minnesota Conference and section foe who defeated the Irish
7-6 earlier in the season. They
have been to the state tournament the last two years.
The Irish got off to a quick
start, putting up two runs to the
Rockets one in the first inning.
Both teams hit in two runners
in the third to make the score 42, but it wasnt until the fourth
inning that Maple Lake started
to break away. The Irish scored
three runs in that inning, one run
in the sixth and four in the seventh for the win.
The Irish pounded out 16
hits, including two home runs;
Chloe Callahan hit a two-run
bomb in the first inning and Linsey Rachel hit a three-run blast
in the fourth.
Amber
Klug,
Morgan
Scheiber and Rachel all had
three hits on the day. Kennedy
Haney picked up her sixth win,
allowing three runs on eight hits.
The Irish didnt play their
best ball against Litchfield, according to Knudsen, but they
still managed to come away with
a landslide win over the young
Dragons on Wednesday in Litchfield.
Olivia Marquette threw five,
solid innings in the non-conference, non-section match-up, allowing just one earned run on
six hits.
Klug had four hits and
Rachel added three, including a
two-run blast in the seventh inning.
We gave them extra outs
that kept the game close on routine plays, Knudsen said. We
will clean that up.
Marquette picked up her
fourth win,Saturday against nonconference, non-section foe Little Falls in Alexandria. She
allowed two hits and no runs to
earn the shut-out.
Summer Knudsen had two
hits and two RBIs in the 12-run
victory. Emily Webb and Rachel
also added two RBIs.
We played and pitched well,
but we must run the bases better, Knudsen said.

game remained even until the

both teams scored all of their
runs.
Haney picked up her seventh
win. She threw eight innings, allowing five hits and three earned
runs. Both Taylor Pilger and
Rachel had two hits apiece.
We played well at times, but
we must clean up our mental
mistakes, Knudsen said.

Irish top Rockford, B-B-E

By Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

The Maple Lake baseball

team is now 8-1 after three more
wins last week, two of them on
the road.
The Irish kicked off the week
with a five-inning, 13-1 win
over Rockford, on Monday,
April 27, then went on to beat
Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa twice,
Thursday, April 30, in a double
header at B-B-E High School.
Maple Lake scored five runs
in the third inning, Monday
night at home against the Rockets, then tacked on a whopping
eight more runs in the fourth to
demolish the Central Minnesota
Conference rival.
The Irish never trailed after
scoring five runs in the third on
two doubles and a two-run triple
by Cal Redemske.
Rockford scored their one
run earlier in that same inning.
Cal Redemske had a two-run
single as part of Maple Lakes
fourth-inning scoring spree.
Nate Maas contributed an RBI
single, Nick Preisinger, Hunter
Malachek and Tony Goelz all
had RBI doubles and Dustin
Strub had a two-run single to
pull it off.
Overall, Redemske racked up
four RBIs on two hits for the
home team. On the mound,
Malachek struck out seven, allowed one earned run, five hits
and one walk.
Maple Lake jumped to an
early 1-0 lead in the top of the
first in that first game against BB-E, going on to beat the
Jaguars 7-5.
Redemske got things going
with a double then was brought
in by a Jack Seibert single.
B-B-E answered with two
runs of its own in the first on errors. The Irish scored one more
in the second and B-B-E answered in the third to keep a
one-point lead. Maple Lake
opened up the lead in the fifth
inning with four runs thanks to a
two-run double by Goelz.
The Irish scored one more
run in the sixth, which B-B-E
answered with two runs in the
seventh, but their rally wasnt
enough to reclaim the lead and
Maple Lake was able to hang on
for the win.
Jack Seibert went a perfect 22 for the Irish with a single in the
first and a triple in the third inning.
Goelz recorded the win for
Maple Lake even though he allowed five runs over six innings.
He struck out three, walked two
and gave up five hits.
B-B-E and the Irish exchanged the lead in game two of
Thursdays double header, until
Maple Lake was able to come

out on top, 8-6, thanks in part to

a strong fifth inning.
The Irish jumped to an early
1-0 lead, extending it to 3-0 by
the third inning. The Jaguars
scored four runs in the fourth to
claim the lead, but Maple Lake
answered with five of their own
in the fifth on an RBI double by
McRae Haney and a sacrifice fly
by Preisinger. B-B-E scored two
more runs in the seventh but
couldnt catch the Irish.
Strub had a productive day
batting. He singled in the third
inning and tripled in the first and
fifth innings.
Preisinger allowed four runs
over six innings, struck out nine,
walked three and gave up six
hits.
This week the Irish host five
games. On Monday, April 4,
Kimball was to take on the Irish.

Track does well at St. Johns, has high hopes for True Team this week
By Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

The boys and girls track

teams ran well at St. Johns Prep
last week and have high hopes
going into the True Team Section meet this week.
Some of the top performances on the boys side were Andrew Schonnesen who ran the
200-meter dash for the first time
and nearly beat the school
record; Ryan Kalinowski, who
ran his best time ever in the 800meter dash, and Aaron Reese
who ran nice hurdles times and
a great 4x400 split, coach Ben
Youngs said.
As a team the boys claimed
another first-place finish with
239 points. Eden ValleyWatkins-Kimball was runner-up

with 120.
On the girls side, Jordan Sifferle tried the 200 for the first
time and won with a time of
27.81.
It's amazing she can run that
having never been in that race
before, Youngs said.
Kayla Hoistad finished out
the day with three personal
bests.
It was an awesome night for
a track meet, Youngs said. We
like to go to St. John's University because that is where the
section meet is held, so the kids
get to experience that setting
prior to the big individual meet
at the end of May.
Hopefully, the athletes
found rest during the weekend
because the big meet is Tuesday.

vitational.

By the time the paper comes out

we will know whether or not we
have qualified for state for the
fourth straight year for both boys
and girls, Youngs said.
On Tuesday, May 5, Maple
Lake will host the True Team
Section meet at 2:15 p.m. The
top team will go on to True
Team State in Stillwater on Saturday, May 16.

Vikings 2015 NFL
Draft Recap
With a final tally of ten draft
picks over the three days of the
2015 NFL Draft, the Minnesota
Vikings had one agenda - plug
holes. Drafting five offensive
players and five defensive players, the Vikings did just that, focusing on their top needs. After
grabbing arguably the drafts top
CB and the best coverage LB in
the draft, the Vikings kept plugging away, with a high emphasis
on potential. In case you missed
it, heres a recap of the Minnesota Vikings 2015 NFL Draft.

you talk to, the Vikings reached
a bit, picking Waynes 11th overall, especially considering
Louisville WR DeVante Parker
was still on the board. However,
the fact of the matter is this: Minnesota got the best coverage corner in the draft and filled perhaps
their most glaring need. Playing
in a division with Aaron Rodgers
and Calvin Johnson, the Vikings
did the right thing with this pick
and were still able to get WR
help later, in a draft deep at the
WR position.
Round 2, Pick 45
2. Eric Kendricks, ILB,
UCLA Kendricks was the best
coverage LB in the draft and he
absolutely flies to the ball in the
running game. The biggest knock
on him is his size, as hes only
60, 232 lbs., so the question is
whether or not hell be able to
hold up defending the run, in the
NFL. Like Waynes, Kendricks
could very well be a Week 1
starter for the Vikings defense.
Round 3, Pick 88
3. Danielle Hunter, DE, LSU
Once Minnesota grabbed probable starters at CB and LB, they
turned their focus to rushing the

passer by taking Hunter, who has

the size and speed to be an elite
pass-rusher in the NFL some day.
The question is how soon will he
develop, as he is quite raw. With
a great attitude and motor that
doesnt quit, in a year or two,
Hunter could be turning heads.
Round 4, Pick 110
4. T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh After beginning his college career on the defensive side
of the ball, Clemmings moved to
OT his junior year. Much like
Hunter, he comes with a very
high ceiling, but due to his lack
of experience at the position it
could take some time to put it all
together. He should be a solid
run-blocker right away and with
question marks all along the
Vikings offensive line, Clemmings will definitely see the
field.
Round 5, Pick 143
5. MyCole Pruitt, TE, Southern Illinois Sticking with the
high up-side theme, Pruitt was
the fastest TE at the NFL draft
combine. Hes only 62, which
isnt tall for a TE, but his speed
gives him big-play ability, as hes
able to rack up yards after the
catch. He scored 13 TDs in his
senior season at Southern Illinois. While his blocking skills
are questionable, his effort is not.
Round 5, Pick 146
6. Stefon Diggs, WR, Maryland Upon reading the scouting
report on Diggs, I couldnt help
but think of former Vikings WR,
Percy Harvin. With a similar
frame (60, 195 lbs.) and speed
(4.46 40-yard dash), he could
provide the Vikings with some of
the same things Harvin used to,
minus all the headaches, literally
and figuratively. Envision Diggs
starting out as a threat in the return game and evolving from
there, as a slot receiver.
Round 6, Pick 185

7.Tyrus Thompson, OT, Oklahoma Thompson provides the

Vikings with depth along the offensive line. Hes not going to
challenge for a starting job, at
least not right away, as he has a
lot of work to do in order to become more consistent in his technique. At times he also lacks
toughness. At the end of the day,
Thompson has the size and athleticism to succeed, but needs a
lot of help in the other areas.
Round 6, Pick 193
8. B.J. Dubose, DE,
Louisville Dubose has had
some character issues in the past,
but perhaps his former Louisville
teammate, Teddy Bridgewater,
can set him straight, if he indeed
makes the team out of training
camp. What the Vikings saw in
the 64, 284 lbs. DE, was a pass
rusher with great size and
strength. This late in the draft,
thats worth a flier.
Round 7, Pick 228
9. Austin Shepherd, OT, Alabama Shepherd figures to transition into an OG in the NFL, as
he lacks the speed and technique
to block NFL edge pass-rushers.
Because of that, hes a much better run-blocker than pass-blocker.
Maybe his greatest attribute is his
durability, as hes never sustained
a serious injury.
Round 7, Pick 232
10. Edmond Robinson, OLB,
Newberry The biggest question
here is where on earth is Newberry College? Robinson is a
great athlete, with an exceptional
attitude and has a legitimate shot
of becoming a contributing
member of the Vikings special
teams unit. By the way, Newberry College is in Newberry,
SC, which is 45 minutes northwest of Columbia, SC. We
learned something today.
So there you have it. All in all,
not a bad draft for the Vikings.
They come out of it with two
starting quality defensive players, depth along the offensive and
defensive lines, an intriguing TE
prospect, two possible special
teams difference makers, and
plenty of potential.

Almost all of the bids came in at
or below engineers estimates for

Corrections Officers and Employees Week in Wright County.
The program was established in
1984 by President Ronald Reagan and has honored corrections
employees that deal with inmates.
* Laid over for one week eight
bids received for the construction
of the Sheriffs Department Impound Lot Storage Building. The
low bid of $738,000 was submitted by B&V Construction in Buffalo. The bids went as high a
$1.13 million, but the five lowest
bids were within $55,000 of one
another, which prompted Commissioner Pat Sawatzke to say
that the bid requirements seemed
pretty clearly spelled out given
the closeness of the lowest competitive bids.

MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY

PUBLIC NOTICE ON DRAFT/PROPOSED
AIR EMISSION FACILITY PERMIT
The Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) proposes
to issue Air Emission Permit No. 09900048-003, to Great River Energy for their facility
located at 68435 310th Street Dexter, Mower County, Minnesota.
The permit action is for operation of the facility. The permit action is the reissuance
of the Part 70 Operating Permit; therefore, the draft/proposed permit has been placed
on public notice. The draft/proposed permit does not authorize any emissions increases.
The public comment period commences May 7, 2015, and terminates June 5,
2015. A copy of the full web notice, the draft/proposed permit, and technical support
document will be available on the MPCAs website at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/publicnotices. To receive a paper copy of the web notice, you can contact Ms. Laurie
OBrien at 651-757-2081
