Train speeds to
increase along
Highway 55
50 mph will be max
speed in Maple Lake
Trains traveling through
Maple Lake and other commu-
nities along the Minnesota High-
way 55 corridor will begin
traveling at higher speeds on
Thursday.
According to an announce-
ment from Canadian Pacific, the
federally regulated track speed
will increase from 40 mph to 50-
60 mph, depending on the com-
munity. Trains traveling through
Maple Lake will be limited to a
maximum speed of 50 mph,
slower than the maximums of 55
mph in Eden Valley and 60 mph
in Annandale, Buffalo, Kimball,
Loretto, Paynesville, Rockford,
South Haven and Watkins.
Canadian Pacific said the
higher speeds have been made
possible as a result of track up-
grades. It is also expected to im-
prove the public traffic flow at
railroad crossings.
In announcing the changes,
Canadian Pacific offered the fol-
lowing reminders for motorists
approaching crossings:
Always be prepared to stop
when approaching train tracks
Do not attempt to drive
around activated crossing gates
If a crossing has no flashing
lights or gates, look both ways
and ensure no trains are ap-
proaching before entering the
crossing
It takes 1 to 1.5 miles for a
train to come to a stop after the
brakes are applied
If your car stalls on the
tracks, get out, move off the
tracks and call 911
Never walk on railroad
tracks. The only legal place to
cross a railroad line is at a
marked grade crossing.

saver website at www.oli.org.

Wastewater
commission
weighs
options
for rates
by Gabe Licht
Editor
What should wastewater
rates be in 2015? The Annan-
dale-Maple Lake-Howard Lake
Wastewater Commission re-
viewed five possible answers to
that question at its Thursday
evening meeting but opted not to
vote on the issue until the Dec.
18 meeting.
Secretary Kelly Hinnenkamp
said it is difficult to predict flow
rates, which affect the rates users
pay.
If we underestimate or over-
estimate, we could be collecting
too much or not collecting
enough, she said.
Flows have ranged from
about 222 million gallons to
328.5 million gallons over the
plants five-year history.
The first scenario Hin-
nenkamp presented was based
on a usage of 265 million gal-
lons with a 50-cent user rate in-
crease to $6.25, raising the
average monthly user charge
from $26 to $28. In the follow-
ing year, the user rate would cap
out at $7 and the average
monthly user charge would top
out at $32.
This is our original plan
modified in a few ways, Hin-
nenkamp said. The $300,000
we received this last quarter
wasnt factored into it, so we
have a little more breathing
room than we thought we
would.
All the other scenarios as-
sumed a usage of 235 million
gallons, as the commission had
directed staff to create rate sce-
narios based on that amount at
the June meeting.
In the second scenario, the
user rate would remain at $5.75
but a $10 base rate would in-
crease the average monthly
charge to $36.
A third scenario would as-
sume the same usage but not in-
clude a base rate. Instead, the
user rate would increase to $6.25
in the first year, for an average
monthly charge of $28, before
moving to $8 in the following
year, which would set the aver-
age fee at $36.
Can we see an example of it
going up more gradually instead
of dinging the customer right
away? Maple Lake Mayor
Lynn Kissock asked.
A fourth scenario would do
just that.

Construction of a new Dollar
General store at 800 State High-
way 55 W. in Maple Lake has
been progressing quicker than
originally planned and the store
is now set for an opening in
mid-October.
When construction began,
Dollar General spokesperson
Crystal Ghassemi said the store
was trending for a grand open-
ing celebration in mid-2015,
but please note construction
progress may alter the exact
date.
The latter has been the case.
We have pushed up our
construction schedule and are
currently planning for a late fall
grand opening, Ghassemi said.
As I stated before, that time-
line is susceptible to change
based on construction
progress.
Ghassemi noted that grand
openings usually take place
about two to three weeks after a
soft opening.
Dollar General is currently
seeking between six and 10 em-
ployees to operate the store.
The store will be about 9,000
square feet with about 7,400 of
sales square footage.

Dollar General ahead of schedule
County moving forward with vehicle pool
by John Holler
Correspondent
With the number of employ-
ees working for Wright County,
mileage on personal vehicles
can be a costly concern. With a
reimbursement rate of 50 cents
a mile, some line items in budg-
ets can be quite significant.
At the Aug. 26 meeting of
the Wright County Board of
Commissioners, the concept of
initiating a motor pool that
would make vehicles available
to county departments when
travel is required was dis-
cussed. While it wouldnt in-
clude the departments that
already have assigned vehicles,
Commissioner Pat Sawatzke
said there have been several re-
quests from departments to
come up with a vehicle-sharing
program that a motor pool
would accommodate.
We havent had a motor
pool in the past, Sawatzke
said. Some departments might
keep some of the cars they al-
ready have. Other departments
that dont have any vehicles
designated for them could uti-
lize the motor pool. Its some-
thing that would be available to
all departments when they need
a county vehicle.
Currently, Wright County
has 192 assigned vehicles 154
for the sheriffs department, 24
for the highway department,
eight for the parks department,
two maintenance vehicles and
four for the surveyors depart-
ment. Several other depart-
ments have vehicles that would
be candidates for the motor
pool, including the assessor,
court services and human serv-
ices.
There has been a recent sur-
plus of vehicles available to the
county because the sheriffs de-
partment has been cycling out
the Crown Victoria, which had
been the standard sheriffs
cruiser vehicle. Several of those
vehicles have been taken out of
service for the sheriffs depart-
ment and diverted to county de-
partments before being sold at
county auction.
Auditor/Treasurer Bob Hi-
ivala informed the board that a
motor pool fund could be cre-
ated that would require depart-
ments currently paying
employees 50 cents a mile to
pay the same rate into the motor
pool fund that would be used to
offset fuel and repair costs.
This is a fund that we
would reconcile at the end of
the year, Hiivala said. The
plan would be that the charge
per mile would offset the cost
of repairs to keep the fund bal-
ance equal.
The board voted to proceed
with the creation of a motor
pool with seven vehicles al-
ready being part of the pool and
more vehicles being able to be
added to build up a vehicle
fleet. A start-up fund of $40,000
will be created to cover poten-
tial repair costs, but the plan is
that the fund will eventually be-
come self-sustaining.
This seems to be an area of
need for a lot of departments,
Sawatzke said. If can get the
motor pool started without hav-
ing to purchase a bunch of new
vehicles, its something that can
be of benefit for the entire
county and departments that are
currently using their own vehi-
cles and costing the county
money.
In other business, the board:
Authorized a list of tax-for-
feit properties for public sale
Sept. 24. As part of the ap-
proval, the county board passed
a resolution to allow the county
to seize and sell any personal
property that remains in the
abandoned properties prior to
sale.
Approved a claim of
$3,924 to the consulting firm of
Madden, Galenter & Hansen
for union negotiation work
completed on behalf of the
county in July.

most part, moderate temperatures. Its also that time for high
school, college and pro football with ML already having defeated
Mora on Aug. 28. The girls volleyball team and the cross-country
teams have also been involved as was reported in last weeks

I gave Clearwater Lake another shot at sunfish angling last
Wednesday and Im starting to like that lake. The loons can be
kind of pests at times but tolerable and they seem to entertain
Vanna with their unique calls. There seems to be an abundance
of Northerns in that lake and, on one occasion, a Northern fol-
lowed my sunfish in an apparent attempt at an easy meal nearly
to the top of the water as I was reeling it. The clarity of Clear-
water rivals that of Lake Sylvia, which make the weeds more vis-
ible, too. I fished Wednesday on Maple Lake with Mike Muller
and his grandson, Mike, whose father is Michael Jr., so I suspect
that makes the Buffalo third grader Michael III. Anyway, hes a
competitive angler and likes to keep track of who is in the lead.
Mike III led most of the three hours we fished until I edged him
by one sunfish (8) when Mike I put me on a temporary hot spot.
Those two also caught a couple of crappies with Mike III taking
honors in that species. I fished on Friday with my brother, Lloyd,
who lives in Elk River. We went to Clearwater Lakes public ac-
cess and sat out one dandy thunderstorm, headed for South
Haven for an early lunch hoping the weather would straighten
out. Neither of us had a smart phone to check the radar, but youd
think two guys, both in our eighties, would have enough sense
to see the storms werent over. Consequently both of us got
caught in the next shower before we decided to call it a day. We
had a good time visiting so the day wasnt a total bust! Daryl
Hennen and I tried the same lake on Labor Day. I figured it was
the tail end of the three-day weekend and the lake would be rel-
atively quiet. I was wrong again and we had to park our vehicle
in the overflow lot. The lake was equally as crowded as lake res-
idents were taking pontoon tours. Our biggest sunfish was a 9.5
incher and Id rather not talk about our total catch. Suffice to say
it was a catch and release day!

Minnesotas Walk-In program has 21,100 acres of private land
at 181 sites in the state that are open for public hunting Sept. 1-
May 31. Hunters who use these acres need a $3.00 Walk-in Ac-
cess Validation which are available from license vendors. The
DNR has atlases available at their wildlife offices, the SWCD
offices and local commerce-tourist information outlets in the 35-
county WIA area. Theyre also available for printing at the WIA
website, www.mndnrgov/walkin. Last fall, we found some
pheasants on several of those we hunted in western Minnesota
and I hope the program will continue to be funded for hunters.

Still smarting from MLs baseball loss to Sobieski in the Class
C State Tournament, Hennen and I went back to Jordan Saturday
morning to watch Howard Lake in their game with Jordan. Un-
fortunately for the Orphans, they dug themselves too deep a hole
in the opening inning, eight runs. The final score was 10-2 and
eliminated all North Star League teams. Next, we headed for
Belle Plaine and watched Winsted come from behind to defeat
Fort Ripley 6-2 in an exciting game. Unfortunately, Winsted was
mauled by New Ulm on Sunday 13-1 to end their run. Sobieski
defeated New Ulm in the finals on Sunday 2-0, but there is little
consolation in knowing ML was beat by the same team. Their
ace pitcher, Tyler Jendro, who pitched against ML, was appar-
ently equally as effective against the Brewer sluggers in the fi-
nale.

This area, and my backyard in particular, received a strong 4
inches of rain over the Labor Day weekend with the largest sin-
gle amount in the late Sunday evening thunderstorm when my
gauge registered nearly 2 inches. Now its back to mowing lawn
at least once a week!

Bleat

In July, we had J1 and C and
S stay for a few days. We
weren't able to put A and D up
because of that, but they went
to Fargo or Duluth or some-
where else instead anyway.
Next it was E and his daugh-
ter B1 who came to visit. Hav-
ing a spare room, we were
happy to put them up for a few
days.
We had to leave for a re-
union in Branson while E and
B1 were still with us. E opted
to skip the reunion, as he didn't
feel like traveling farther than
Minnesota from the mountains
of Colorado. B1 cleaned the
house, as she knew what was
coming.
Then K and J2 spent some
time with us, and the septic
tank alarm went off. It was only
a loose plug, thankfully, since
we expected lots of people, and
Wife tore the door off the out-
side toilet years ago, removing
a significant option.
Then we picked up J3, T, S,
I (not me), and B2 at the airport
to stay in the only spare room
in our house, not counting the
porch, where we planned to put
at least one kid.
So much for July. August
was a little more hectic as T
and J3 were in and out quite a
bit, with S and B2 getting ready
for two different schools. On
one trip, T showed up with a
car that B2 and S won't be able
to use until they can be li-
censed, so we get to park it.
B2 had a daily swimming
session for school in St. Paul,
not the most handy location,
but she had an extra car to help
out, once we went through get-
ting a license and insurance.
And I (not me) had to get a
hunting permit for the fall
when he and T plan to hunt in
Wisconsin with J4.
From time to time, we had K
and J2 join the kids overnight.
H took a few people on occa-
sion, which helped keep Wife
sane.
We dropped T and I (not me
again) at the airport a week ear-
lier than J3, who took B2 and S
to their connections for school
registration and arrangements.
There are lots of preparations
for school when parents live
3,000 miles away on an island,
and the kids don't need socks.
As a diversion, Wife and I
(me) took S and B2 to the State
Fair, picking the day when
252,092 people attended. It
didn't seem quite as crowded as
our kitchen had been for most
of the month.
Now we are home alone,
just Wife and I (me), trying to
figure out where people put the
life jackets, a cooking pot,
canoe paddles, the boat key, a
car cover, one screw from the
futon and lots of rope. We seem
to have gained some fish line, a
coffee mug, three trivets, a cou-
ple trays, some dead pike min-
nows, an air mattress plug and
lots of boxes.
And an aging car, but we
have to give that back.

Original license plates
Question: I have questions
about registering a car Im in
the process of restoring (early
1970s vintage) with an origi-
nal Minnesota license plate
from the same year as the car
was made. Here are my ques-
tions:
Q1. Does the original li-
cense plate have to be one that
was issued to that vehicle or
can it be another prior issued
plate which is in good legible
condition and no longer show-
ing to be in use?
A1. The original plate must
be in good condition and can-
not be repainted or restored. It
can be another plate, as long as
the plate is the same year as
the vehicle you are registering.
Q2. Does the original li-
cense plate have to be one in-
dicated for personal
registration or can the original
year plate be a Dealer or a
New Vehicle In-transit original
plate showing the year of vehi-
cle manufacture?
A2. The original plate has
to be of a type originally is-
sued to the type of vehicle
(e.g. passenger plate). No
Dealer plates or In-transit
plates.
Q3. What determines if an
original license plate conflicts
with a license plate series cur-
rently in use or reserved for
use by the Department of Pub-
lic Safety?
A3. Plates that are all num-
bers are reserved for collector
and tax exempt categories.
You may contact DVS with the
plate number to see if it would
conflict with a series that is in
use or reserved for future use.
Q4. Do I have to display the
original license plate on both
the front and rear of the vehi-
cle?
A4. If the vehicle is 1972 or
older or registered in the col-
lector class, the owner has the
option of just displaying one
plate on the rear of the vehicle.

Whats in a name?
One of the most interesting
and non-controversial matters
that judges hear are applica-
tions for name changes. A per-
son seeking a name change
must have resided in Min-
nesota for at least 6 months.
The applicant fills out and
files an application stating the
new name they seek to be ap-
proved, then schedules a hear-
ing to which they must bring
two witnesses to identify
them. These matters tend to be
controversial only when one
parent seeks to change the
name of a child and the other
parent objects. The non-appli-
cant parent is entitled to notice
of the hearing. In that case
the court must determine if the
name change is in the childs
best interests.
At the hearing the applicant
(adult, non-child) will be
sworn on oath and asked if
they have been convicted of a
felony in their current name.
The court will have a criminal
records check in the court file
to confirm their testimony.
The applicant will also be
asked if they are attempting to
defraud or mislead creditors.
Assuming no prior felony and
no intent to defraud creditors,
the name change will be
granted.
Other than orders changing
or refusing to change a childs
name, there have been very
few appellate cases. One oc-
curred in 1979 when a gentle-
man tried to change his name
to a number, 1069, which the
court denied. However, the
court stated he could change
his name to Ten Sixty-nine
or One Zero Six Nine. We
did have a person come
through our court whose legal
name was one word, such as
Butterfly. I thought only
Madonna got away with that.
Most of us are very sensi-
tive about correct pronuncia-
tion of our name. Our name
reflects our identity and her-
itage. I and my siblings went
through school with teachers
regularly mispronouncing our
name. You may have had the
same experience in Minnesota
unless you have a common
Scandinavian name like John-
son, Anderson or Erickson.
We try our best in court to pro-
nounce names correctly, regu-
larly asking jurors, parties and
attorneys to correct us if we
mispronounce their name.
Some names are a challenge to
pronounce on first seeing
them, particularly for people
from Southeast Asia and
Africa. Our apologies if our
efforts fail to properly pro-
nounce your name.
What are some common
reasons for folks changing
their name? Divorce, es-
trangement from family or a
desire to distance oneself from
a parent or guardian, or mis-
spelling by the Armed Forces
on enlistment or discharge
records, or misspelling on
birth certificate. Some people
just want a fresh start.

Annandale man
remains missing
A 25-year-old Annandale man
has been missing for nearly two
weeks.
According to the Wright
County Sheriffs Office, Christo-
pher Rossing has been missing
since Friday, Aug. 22.
He was last seen in Howard
Lake on that evening and his car
has since been found in that area
with the windows down and keys
inside. His phone has been dis-
connected since that evening.
Rossings family told Fox 9
they are offering a $5,000 reward
for information that leads to find-
ing him and asks anyone within
100 miles of Howard Lake to
check their properties for the
510, 190-pound man with
brown hair and eyes.
Anyone with information is
asked to call the Wright County
Sheriffs Office at 763-682-7637.
Wastewater rates
continued from page 1
It would raise the user rate to
$6.25 in 2014, $6.75 in 2016 and
$7.50 in 2017 before capping out
at $8 in 2018. Average monthly
charges would increase to $28 in
2015, $30 in 2016 and $34 in
2017 before capping out at $36 in
2018.
This scenario works but it
keeps us at a much lower cash re-
serve, so wed be a little bit more
vulnerable, Hinnenkamp said.
At the same time, were pretty
conservative with our projections
so maybe we can be a little more
risky with our cash reserve.
The final option would cut the
user rate to $2.26, with it increas-
ing by 2 cents every year, but it
would be accompanied by a base
rate starting out at $26.97 and de-
creasing slightly in subsequent
years. All told, the average
monthly charge would increase
to $37 and remain there until
2027, when it would be cut to
$15.
Someone using 1,200 gal-
lons would pay the same as
someone using 12,000, Hin-
nenkamp said.
With those options on the
table, Hinnenkamp suggested
contacting the Public Facilities
Authority to see if the plants
rates could be reduced.
With the changes that have
happened since 2008 when our
PFA loans were structured, we
should go back to them and say,
This is our situation, this is
whats happening with our pro-
jections and what can you do for
us? Hinnenkamp said.
The commission opted to wait
for options from PFA before ap-
proving the rate structure in De-
cember.
In the meantime, Kissock said
Maple Lake would use a user rate
of $6.25 to formulate the city
budget.
In other business, the com-
mission:
Learned from Plant Operator
Joe Haller that, over the past
year, the plant had saved nearly
$18,000 on power costs by par-
ticipating in a peak-shaving
program with Wright-Hennepin
Cooperative Electric Association.
The program allows Wright-
Hennepin to turn on the plants
generator during peak usage
hours. Haller said using the gen-
erator in those instances is
enough to exercise it and keep it
in good working order without
wearing it out too fast.
Approved the insurance pre-
mium renewal at a cost of
$15,071, $413 less than in 2013.
Paul Manuel, of Lake Central In-
surance, showed that the amount
of coverage increased $327,550.
Reviewed the proposed
budget for 2015. Haller said the
maintenance budget is set to in-
crease from $34,000 to $50,000
due to the purchase of pumps to
agitate the sludge storage tank
and improve its capacity. Elec-
tricity costs are expected to in-
crease by $15,000. They are not
giving us quite as good of a deal
as when we started, Hin-
nenkamp said. The commission
has not budgeted for capital out-
lay expenses in the past, but is
looking to budget $24,000 to
start replacing parts on the plants
pumps, which are five to six
years old. The commission will
approve the final budget during
its next meeting at 5:30 p.m. on
Dec. 18 at the plant.
Trailblazer Transit
service changes
Trailblazer Transit is no
longer providing public transit
service within the cities of
Clearwater, Monticello, Otsego
or South Haven. Public transit
service will also be unavailable
within the townships located in
Wright County.
However, service will still be
available between any of these
areas and other portions of
Wright County that are partici-
pating in Wright County Area
Transportation, a new govern-
ment organization created by a
coalition of cities in Wright
County that have agreed to help
administer and fund Trailblazer
Transit.
WCAT is expected to for-
mally join Sibley and McLeod
Counties on Jan. 1, 2015, to op-
erate the three-county public
transit system.
On Aug. 21, the Trailblazer
Joint Powers Board, currently
governed by county commis-
sioners from Sibley and McLeod
Counties, made the decision to
change its 2014 service design in
response to a vote made by
WCAT representatives on Aug.
19, to exclude service within and
between the areas in Wright
County that have not joined
WCAT and, therefore, are not
participating in the administra-
tion and funding of the transit
system.

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!

dition such as diabetes or are un-

In an emotional event, Travis
Baumann, of Maple Lake, re-
ceived his white coat, marking his
entrance into the University of
Minnesota Medical School-Du-
luth.
In total, 60 first year medical
students, in a rite of passage for
students entering medical school,
received their white coats on Sat-
urday, Aug. 23, at the University of
Minnesota Medical School-Duluth
campus.
The ceremony signified the re-
sponsibilities and obligations of
the physicians who wear the white
coat and the importance of em-
bracing compassion and character
along with knowledge of science
and medicine.
The event included speakers, a
native drum ceremony and capped
off with the students receiving
their white coats and stethoscopes.
Students recited the Oath for
Medical Students, a form of the
hippocratic oath dedicating them-
selves to the practice of medicine
and the humanistic care of pa-
tients.
Families of the students, local-
area physicians and alumni at-
tended the event.
The mission of the University
of Minnesota Medical School
Duluth is to educate students who
will practice family medicine and
other primary-care specialties in
rural Minnesota and American In-
dian communities; to provide
high-quality academic and clinical
education programs for profes-
sional, graduate and undergraduate
students, and to create distin-
guished research programs in
health sciences.
Located on the campus of
UMD, the University of Min-
nesota Medical SchoolDuluth is
a branch campus of the University
of Minnesota Medical School,
based in the Twin Cities.

Meet Principal Kincs
Baumann receives white coat
After serving as interim prin-
cipal at St. Timothys School for
part of the past school year,
Dawn Kincs has been hired to
lead the school full time. She
took some time to introduce her-
self to the community and shared
what she is looking forward to
and her goal for the school
I would like to take this op-
portunity to share a bit more
about myself and I am eager to
get to know the students and
families more as the year pro-
gresses.
I currently live in Shakopee
with my husband, Mark, and we
have four children. We are com-
mitted to providing a Catholic
education for our children. Our
two oldest children graduated
from Benilde-St. Margarets
High School, our daughter
Danielle is a senior at New York
University and our son Noah is a
sophomore at Ripon College in
Ripon, Wisc. Our two younger
sons currently attend BSM,
where Evan is a 10th grader and
Mark Ryan is an eighth grader.
Prior to attending BSM, our chil-
dren attended SACS (Shakopee
Area Catholic School). Our fam-
ily has always been active mem-
bers and volunteers at our
church, St. Mary the Purification
Marystown, one of three
churches within the Saints
Joachim and Anne Parish of
Shakopee.
I was born in Duluth and, 14
years ago, a job transfer for Mark
brought us to the Twin Cities,
where he is an engineer for Xcel
Energy.
Over the years, I have worked
in a variety of teaching and ad-
ministrative roles, both in the
public and the Catholic school
system within the Archdiocese.
I am currently licensed in So-
cial Studies, grades 5-12, as well
as Parent and Family Education.
I have a BA in criminology/soci-
ology and secondary social stud-
ies education from the University
of Minnesota-Duluth, a Masters
in education from the University
of Minnesota-Twin Cities, a
post-graduate Certificate for Dif-
ferentiated Instruction (Gifted/
Talented Education) from St.
Thomas University, as well as
coursework toward earning my
principals license from the St.
Marys University.
After teaching Parent Educa-
tion for the Shakopee ECFE
(Early Childhood Family Educa-
tion) for several years, I served
as the principal at Our Lady of
the Prairie Catholic School in
Belle Plaine for four years, and
then spent one year at St. John
the Baptist Catholic School in
Savage as an assistant principal
and middle school social studies
and religion teacher. I have also
worked as a short-term substitute
teacher, as well as a preschool
teacher at SACS. As you can see,
I find great joy in working with
students of all ages.
Throughout all my teaching
and administrative duties, I have
been passionate about meeting
the needs of the individual child
and feel most at home within the
walls of a Catholic school where
we can work together to nurture
each child spiritually and aca-
demically, enabling them to de-
velop their skills and talents so
they can shine the light of Jesus
to others and become all that
God has intended them to be.
What I'm most looking for-
ward to this year at St. Timothy's
is to continue our work as a
school to meet both the spiritual
and academic needs of the chil-
dren and families in our commu-
nity.
Last year, we embarked on a
few new initiatives and I'm look-
ing forward to continuing to
work with the great teachers and
staff at St. Timothy's.
Last spring, we began the
NWEA Measures of Academic
Progress (MAP) testing for our
students, we added SAXON
Math curriculum this year and
the staff all attended conferences
and received advanced training
to further strengthen and expand
our language arts and literature
curriculum.
Two teachers, Mary Nowak
and Theresa Heimkes, were ac-
cepted into the Murray Institute
at the University of St. Thomas
for advanced certificates in
teaching math.
It is an exciting time at St.
Timothy's School as we honor
our past and faith traditions
while looking ahead so that we
can continue to offer our students
a strong academic foundation
and meet their individual learn-
ing needs.
My goal is to ensure that our
school continues to be recog-
nized for the wonderful and lov-
ing spirit embodied at St.
Timothy's School, the strong
faith foundation we offer, as well
as meeting the leaning needs of
each one of our students so that
they can thrive.
I'm excited to be a part of the
school and community of St.
Timothy's and Maple Lake. I feel
blessed to be a part of such a
wonderful place and I'm looking
forward to starting off the school
year with all of the students and
their families.

Maple Lakes boys of fall
kicked off their season against
the AAA Mora Mustangs in a
non-conference game at home.
The Irish dominated the Mus-
tangs in a 42-6 victory with a
powerful and fast running attack
and turnover-causing defense.
Maple Lakes offense started
their first two drives in control
of the game, scoring off a touch-
down from quarterback Tony
Goelz and a 30-yard touchdown
run off the speedy legs of Dustin
Strub.
Moras defense was slow off
the ball and their pad level was
high at the line of scrimmage.
Maple Lakes offensive line
used their powerful left side and
their fast right side to control the
much larger Mora defensive
line.
After two failed drives,
Maple Lakes offense was strug-
gling to move the ball with
missed blocks and miscommu-
nication between offensive line-
man and their tight ends.
The Irish began to turn the
engines back on in the second
half, and throughout the rest of
the game, with an opening-drive
touchdown.
Overall the O-line did a
great job and surprised us
against a much larger line in
Mora, head coach Tim Knud-
sen commented after the game,
Our running backs found great
lanes and broke tackles We
need to work the little things
like pad level and knowing who
to block. Then, we can beat any-
one.
After an opening kickoff
fumble, Maple Lakes defense
dominated Moras first drive
and put the ball into the of-
fenses hands. In the next defen-
sive stand, Moras offense
managed a 16-play drive and a
touchdown, despite facing a
third and 25 situation.
We couldnt stop them on
third and long, defensive coor-
dinator and linebacker coach
Dennis Klug said after a long
conversion from Moras of-
fense.
Luckily, Maple Lakes sec-
ondary was made up of ball
hawks.
Dustin Strub had a hat trick,
with three interceptions, and
first-year player McRae Haney
had his pick-six to give Mora
their final blow.
It was a great feeling and I
hope I can do it again the next
in game. Haney said. Assistant
coach and defensive coordinator
Andrew Brown acknowledged
his defense after the game.
They did fine, Brown said.
We need to work out some
stuff with our front seven, but
our DBs did a great job ball
hawking and being aggressive.
Maple Lake will square off
against Pierz with their first
away game at 7 p.m. Friday.
Irish outrun Mustangs, win first game
Irish girls start season with two wins
Dustin Strub celebrates as he scores on a 30-yard run. McRae Haney tries to shake off a defender after making a reception. He also returned an interception for a touchdown.
The Maple Lake Irish volleyball team has started its season with six wins, including
against Blooming Prairie on Aug. 23 and Litchfield on Aug. 26, both in three sets. More
information from coach Marty Kiebel was not available. Pictured above are Emily Webb

The Maple Lake Irish football
team began two-a-days on Aug.
11. The practices are four hours
long and are very intense and not
a minute is wasted to shape the
2014 season for the Irish. Three
new coaches were added to the
team's staff: offensive line coach
Kyle Inforzato, linebacker coach
Jaime Leither and offensive line
coach Andrew Boman.
"We needed help at the offen-
sive line and defense and these
coaches give us a lot of experience
and knowledge," coach Brad Bau-
mann said about his new col-
leagues.
This season will be huge for the
Irish as last season resulted in an
8-5 record and a trip to the state
tournament semi-final game. Ex-
pectations will be higher than ever.
They need to stick together
and just play the game as they
can, head coach Tim Knudsen
said when asked about his expec-
tations for this season.
This being the last year of the
Central Minnesota Conference, we
hope to win it and go far through
the playoffs and to reach the state
tournament, Knudsen added.
For 2015, the regular seasons
format will be districts. The top
teams in the district will move on
to their respective sections and
continue on in the playoffs.
It would be extra special and
mean a lot if we took the confer-
ence in its last year, senior quar-
terback Tony Goelz said.
Goelz will be the only returning
starter in the quarterback position
in the conference and one of the
Irishs many strengths. Another
strength is the offensive line and a
powerful running attack.
Two running backs behind the
offensive line will also be impor-
tant to the success of the team.
Seniors Cal Redemske and Dustin
Strub will lead the backfield as
they did last year, combining for
more than 1,500 yards.
Maple Lake returns six starters
on defense.
Having a strong defense will
help our team control the outcome
of the game, assistant coach and
defensive coordinator Andrew
Brown said.
A lack of depth is a weakness
for the Irish.
"Last year we were very fortu-
nate to have so many players ca-
pable to start at the varsity level
and step in and play," Knudsen
said. "This years sophomore and
freshman classes will need to step
up and show us who is capable of
playing on special teams and fill-
ing in if injuries occur.
With a total of 14 returning
starters, experience and leadership
will be a key advantage to a long
season.
"With strong leadership and de-
termination we will play a very
long and fruitful season and make
it to TCF Bank Stadium and play
in November, Brotherhood," sen-
ior captain Dominic Kaley said.

The Maple Lake Irish volley-
ball team finished the 2013 season
with a record of 24-10, earning the
Central Minnesota Conference title
and the Section 5AA titles. This
year, the team plans to accomplish
nothing less than last year and
hopefully a lot more.
From the beginning, head coach
Marty Kiebel spoke about every-
one being a teammate, reacting to
situations and accepting roles to
benefit the entire team.
A lot of how we do or become
successful is how we react to how
the season unfolds and if the kids
can really accept and embrace their
roles, Kiebel said.
For this team, goals can mean
many things not only the big
wins but also the little victories in
practice or personal achievements.
The team knows that what happens
between teammates and in the gym
will reflect on their record and ac-
complishments.
I think a big goal for every
coach is that you keep kids excited
for the sport and that they want to
practice hard and support each
other every day, Kiebel said.
Along with positivity and sup-
port between teammates, skills,
hard work and experience will play
a big role in their success.
Our ability to control the ball
is a huge strength and because of
the large team, our practices are
pretty intense and focused since we
have many kids that can compete
at a high level, Kiebel said.
Weaknesses are not a huge con-
cern for the coach or the team.
Maybe we do have some play-
ers who are not as experienced but
Id say more of a challenge than a
weakness for this team is to be able
to work hard every day even
though we may have some losses,
Kiebel said.
Seven seniors will lead the team
and will be an advantage. Although
every senior plays a leadership role
along with underclassmen stepping
up, a few players seem to stand out
as the leaders.
Emily Webb has been on the
varsity for a number of years and is
a very vocal leader, Kiebel said.
Jenni Pomije and Chloe Callahan
are two others that do things that
are sometimes organizational and
sometimes being great teammates
with everybody; I think they set a
great example.
Every year there is good com-
petition for the Irish within the
CMC.
For sure BBE, who is cur-
rently ranked No. 2 in Class A, will
be a team to beat. Also, Howard
Lake will be an improved team and
Pierz, traditionally, has had a very
solid team, Kiebel said.
Competing in the Albany Early
Bird Tournament and a few
matches in August has given the
team a feel of what the season will
be like.
I think we've been challenged,
which is kind of fun to see a team
that has some new kids out there
and a new mix gel together. Ive
been pleased with them, Kiebel
said.
The team has already made sev-
eral comebacks during games.
Down 9-4 in the championship
game of the Albany Tournament
against Sauk Centre, the team
came back to steal the win and be-
come the champions.
The fact that we were able to
come back early in the season like
this says a lot about the team and
their desire to not give up. I think
these things set a tone that we are
going to be a mentally tough
team, Kiebel said.
With six wins, zero losses and a
lot of dedication, the team contin-
ues the season into the school year
with high expectations of them-
selves and their season.
Irish volleyball team shows many strengths
by Mollie Graham
Sports Writer
Packing in the summer miles,
the Maple Lake cross country team
prepped themselves for their up-
coming 2014 season. A total of 128
running shoes showed up bright
and early at Ney Park, with runners
anxious to begin training at 7 a.m.
Aug. 11.
Head coach Ben Youngs will be
assisted by J McClelland and Nic-
hole Rengel. Former coach Nikki
Christiansen recently accepted a
kindergarten teaching position with
the St. Michael/Albertville school
district. Being 10 minutes from her
home, this position was a better fit
for her and her family. The Maple
Lake cross country team has appre-
ciated everything she has done
over the years and will miss her
greatly.
The team had substantial high-
lights a year ago.
As far as the competitive as-
pect, last year was the best year in
the program's history, Youngs
said.
Unfortunately, both teams came
up short of the big prizes. Both
boys and girls were conference
runners-up, and the boys third-
place and girlsfourth-place section
finishes were the best ever, missing
state by one and two places, re-
spectively. Three individual state
qualifiers were the silver lining,
with Andrew Schonnesen, Halle
Geyen and Sommer Carlson run-
ning in the big meet.
Halle and Sommer were all-
state, the first time that had hap-
pened in school history, Youngs
said.
Strength is a key characteristic
to a team.
The boys have a ton of good
runners, so depth will be the
strength of that team. We have 10-
12 legitimate varsity runners, at
least, and it will be competitive to
just make the team. I don't know
yet if we have the types of runners
to be in the top few in a meet, so
our depth will be all the more im-
portant, Youngs said.
The girls have the most pow-
erful one-two runners in Class A,
and that will allow us to be very
competitive, Youngs said. If we
can fill the three through five slots
with good performances at the big
meets, I believe we are in for a very
successful season.
From both the girls and the boys
teams, everyones efforts play a big
role.
Our boys will need to learn to
pack-run a little more consistently
than last year, and that pack will
have to be aggressive, Youngs
said. For the girls, some seniors
and youngsters will have to step up
in order for the team to win the big
meets. Hard work, including week-
end runs and also staying healthy,
will be keys.
Setting good examples for the
team and displaying motivation,
the cross country teams are set with
multiple role models.
The girls are led by seniors
Mollie Graham, Kayla Hoistad,
and Jenna Macziewski, Youngs
said. Kayla and Mollie have been
on the varsity for quite awhile
Mollie missed last season due to in-
juries but they will be key to this
team. Halle and Sommer will score
well for us, so our next tier of run-
ners will really make or break our
season. They seemed determined
so far, and Mollie is really showing
perseverance by working hard de-
spite missing last year.
For the boys, we have more
seniors than we've ever had from
one gender: Cullen Gallagher,
Jackson Willard, Alec Hausladen,
Blake Paumen, Andrew Schon-
nesen, Adam Ruhland, Scott Jor-
dan, Charlie Stejskal, Dan Upcraft,
Ryan Kalinowski, and Adam La-
tour, Youngs said. Ryan is going
to run a few early-season meets
and also some independent work-
outs to get ready for the big meets.
He brings a competitive intensity
you don't often see and, along with
the other seniors and juniors Ross
Hickey and Devin Deringer,
should make for a season to re-
member.
As always, theres usually one
team in the conference that is at the
top of the list to beat.
Holdingford and Holding-
ford, Youngs said. They swept
the Central Minnesota Conference
last year when we took second, and
we've had some great battles with
them in cross country and track.
We have a lot of respect for their
program, and they make us work
harder.

LEGAL NOTICE
MAPLE LAKE TOWNSHIP
August 19, 2014 Minutes
The regular meeting of the Maple
Lake Township Board was called to
order by Chairman Giebenhain at
7:00 PM. Supervisor, Ronald Wolff,
Treasurer, Judy Neumann, and
Clerk, Dick Hogan, were present.
The minutes of the July 22, 2014
meeting were read by Chairman
Giebenhain. As no additions or cor-
rections were noted, a motion was
offered by Wolff, second by Gieben-
hain to accept as read. Carried 2-0.
Steven Pribyl, 2833 State Hwy
55, asked the Board to abandon an
old town road which traversed his
property at one time. This portion of
road does not exist, but records
show the road bed running through
his home. In order to clear records
for sale of home, this must be re-
moved from legal records. When
Highway 55 was constructed in the
late 1940s; town road was incorpo-
rated into State right-of-way by their
acceptance, but not cleared for prop-
erty roads. Matter to be given to
Town Attorney by Title Closing Com-
pany for his opinion. No action taken.
All warrants were paid as pre-
sented.
As no additional business was
brought before the board, Chairman
Giebenhain adjourned regular meet-
ing at 8:20 PM.
The continuation of the March 11,
2014 annual meeting was opened for
the purpose of setting the 2015 levy.
After review of budget and temporary
reserves available by the board and
residents, it was a consensus of the
residents that the present Levy was
adequate for 2015 requirements. A
motion was offered by Bill Ebnet,
second by Irvin Stemm to set 2015
budget as follows: Revenue $75,000,
Road and Bridge $415,000 and Debt
Service $44,478.
The continuation meeting was
closed at 8:40 PM by Chairman
Giebenhain.

Elected officials from the areas
that have been excluded from serv-
ice have decided not to help admin-
ister and fund the new public transit
system in Wright County for vari-
ous reasons. For that reason, the
cities that have chosen to partici-
pate in the administration and fund-
ing of the transit system do not
believe non-participating entities in
Wright County should receive the
same level of service as those cities
who help directly fund the service.
The cities who came together to
form WCAT established a self-im-
posed deadline of Aug. 1, for all the
cities in Wright County to join
WCAT, but four cities did not join.
Residents from all cities and
townships in Wright County will
still have the opportunity to access
the public transit service provided
by Trailblazer Transit if an individ-
ual is traveling to or from a city that
is participating in WCAT.
The 12 cities in Wright County
that are participating in WCAT are
Albertville, Annandale, Buffalo,
Cokato, Delano, Hanover, Howard
Lake, Maple Lake, Montrose,
Rockford, St. Michael and Wa-
verly.
All cities and townships in Sib-
ley and McLeod Counties have full
access to the transit system because
of the financial commitments made
at the county level to support public
transit. The Wright County govern-
ment is currently not a partner or fi-
nancial contributor to Trailblazer
Transit.
The service plan for public tran-
sit in Sibley, McLeod, and Wright
Counties is created by the Trail-
blazer Joint Powers Board and then
approved by the Minnesota De-
partment of Transportation Office
of Transit.
The Trailblazer Joint Powers
Board is currently working with
WCAT and the MnDOT Office of
Transit to develop a service plan
and budget request for service in
2015.
The total operating cost for
WCAT in 2015 is expected to be
less than $150,000 total for up to
14 bus schedules operating on
weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. Capital costs may be an ad-
ditional expense depending on
what resources are needed in
Wright County.
Trailblazer Transit may be con-
tacted toll-free by calling 1-888-
743-3828.
