Ascend Aviation
is up and running
by Katie Friedman
Correspondent
As Maple Lake Municipal
Airports new fixed-base opera-
tor, Jason Erickson and his com-
pany, Ascend Aviation, are now
offering services that include air-
craft rental and maintenance,
flight instruction, fueling, hangar
rating, tie-downs and parking. A
maintenance shop is open cur-
rently, with plans to have a full-
time mechanic on duty by
November.
Signing a lease July 1 and op-
erating full-time in Maple Lake
since early September, Ascend
Aviation is expanding an opera-
tion that began at the Princeton
airport in 2010. With two air-
planes in Princeton and three in
Maple Lake, Erickson says hes
equipped to do any kind of flight
training.
Beginning his aviation career
with flight training and shop
work at the Buffalo airport, Er-
ickson earned his private pilots
license there at the age of 17. In-
strument and commercial ratings,
along with a mechanics license,
were obtained at the Crystal air-
port over subsequent years. Er-
ickson also received intense
flight training from JAARS, a
mission organization originally
formed as a jungle aviation and
radio service in Peru in 1948.
Citing the reopening of a sea-
plane base as a priority, Erickson
has been in contact with the Min-
nesota Department of Natural
Resources to get permits allow-
ing him to pull the cattails out to
create access to the water again.
The seaplane base has been shut
down for the past six years, and
Erickson is working with the City
of Maple Lake and the State of
Minnesota to get space require-
ments, safety equipment and in-
surance documents in order.
In the meantime, Ascend Avi-
ation is putting down roots in
Maple Lake, and Erickson is
happy to be here.
I grew up at Buffalo airport,
and I know a lot of guys here al-
ready, and am still getting to
know a lot of the others, he said.
We had been ridiculously busy,
and will be happy to get more
people working out here as soon
as possible.

In the interest of introducing
candidates for city offices to the
citizens of Maple Lake, con-
tenders were invited to express
their views on city issues Wednes-
day, October 22, at a forum that
will be rebroadcast at 9 a.m. and
6 p.m. Monday through Friday,
October 27-31 on Charter 180.
The candidate forum may also be
viewed on the citys website,
www.ci.maple-lake.mn.us. Addi-
tionally, this article may be
viewed in its entirety at
www.maplelakemessenger.com
The forum, conducted at City
Hall, was hosted by Vicki Grim-
mer on behalf of the owners and
staff of the Maple Lake Messen-
ger, and moderated by former
Maple Lake Mayor Mike
Messina. Three candidates vying
for two open council seats in-
cumbent Deb Geyen, Todd Jude
and Kristy Hennen were joined
on the panel by incumbent Mayor
Lynn Kissock, who is running un-
opposed for re-election.
Messina welcomed the candi-
dates and attendees and explained
the evenings format, which
would begin with a state of the
city address by Kissock, followed
by a question-and-answer session
with the city council candidates
and finally an open mike ques-
tion-and-answer period for mem-
bers of the audience.
Kissock began by saying that
Maple Lake, like many other
cities, has faced its share of chal-
lenges over recent years, but is in
a pretty good space right now.
She said her first term as
mayor had been very rewarding
and she was glad to be running
again.
Were seeing a lot of change
happening, she said. Were see-
ing businesses start to flourish
again, were seeing new busi-
nesses opening and building hap-
pening again in town, so Im very
happy and very excited to see
that. We still have a lot of work to
do. We still need to get our down-
town businesses revitalized
weve got a strong group working
very hard on that and we also
need to get more residents mov-
ing into town and building
houses, so we can increase the
population of the school to ensure
that we still have adequate fund-
ing for the great schools we have
here.
The three city council candi-
dates were then invited to intro-
duce themselves, beginning with
Hennen, a 13-year resident and
mother of two who grew up in a
small town in northern Min-
nesota. She works as a technician
at the St. Cloud Eye Clinic.
I would like to become a
member of city council, she said,
to learn more about the commu-
nity, build the community and
help the community. Im inter-
ested in finding out how things
work, and why they work the way
they work. Hennen, who has
never run for public office before,
said she viewed service on the
city council as a learning experi-
ence, and as the mother of a tee-
neager, noted a lack of local
career opportunities in Maple
Lake and expressed a desire to
find ways to remedy the situation.
Left to right: The forum was moderated by former Maple Lake Mayor Mike Messina. Incumbent Mayor Lynn Kissock is running unopposed for re-
election. Incumbent Councilmember Deb Geyen spoke of her passion for Maple Lake. Todd Jude, local firefighter and a lifelong resident, is a first-
time candidate to the city council. First-time council candidate Kristy Hennen wants to build, help and learn more about the community. (Photos

very athletic team and can move
swiftly on both sides of the ball
and make plays..." senior safety

Sometimes you have to go a long ways to have fun, especially
when it comes to finding pheasants in the recent down years, caused
(in part) by putting CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) land back
into production in the Midwestern states. After a decent hunt in ad-
verse weather last year, we (Mike Muller, Daryl Hennen and myself)
chose to return to northwestern North Dakotas oil patch country.
We decided earlier might mean better weather and it was. We left
Maple Lake Monday night at 7:45, picked up Jody Paumen in
Becker and we were on our way to White Earth where Jody, an elec-
trician, works with Ken Muller, Mikes, son. Ken also has another
employee, Jason Conrad, from Prescott, WI, and the youngster of
the group at twenty-one. We all hunted Tuesday at spots that held
birds a year ago. A farm we had hunted a year ago held birds, but
the owner warned us a hail storm had hit that area this summer. It
was obvious that hail and the unharvested wheat and sunflower fields
were not in our favor. Vanna gave me a point on a small flock of
Sharptail grouse, one of which I harvested for first bird, but we
hadnt established a contest. That was all my fault!
Daryl bagged two roosters Tuesday, the only two he shot at. Jason
had one pheasant, Jody two Sharptail, Ken saw a coyote and Mike
missed on two long shots. I had two misses on pheasants and one
on grouse.
On Wednesday the three of us had more misses than scores 8-7,
but Ken picked up the slack, harvesting two and one sharptail. He
only hunted half of the morning, driving a coulee with us before he
went back to work. All of the dogs were working well with Mikes
Lucky and my Vanna improving on their retrieving skills, while
Daryls Coco took everything in stride. Even with the dog power we
lost four birds that day. It would have been three, but Mike refused
to wade after one he dropped in the water and when we went to look
for it we couldnt find it! Daryl saw a 10-point buck and there was
a herd of 15 antelope on the range. I figured I had first bird that day
when I aimed at the rooster, but had a hen fly into the pattern as I
pulled the trigger. I figured that was the ultimate in bad luck!
On Thursday we hunted northwest of Ray, not too far from the
Montana border, and we all had plenty of shooting. There was more
CPR and plot acres available and the crops were pretty well har-
vested there. We filled out our nine-bird limit, ending up in a CRP
field during the golden hour. Daryl stepped into a covey of roosters
which added to the cause, especially after he found one bird we
thought was lost. Vanna had a point on a hen which flushed. She
took a few steps and immediately cranked her head around and went
on point again. I flushed the rooster, but disappointed her and myself
by missing on two shots.
On Friday morning we left the comforts of Mullers mobile home
about 5 a.m. and headed for Bismark and to the Al Gustin ranch
where we had hunted in previous years. Muller picked off a rooster
and a Hungarian when he was walking the edge of standing corn.
Daryl also shot one Hun and Coco sniffed a rooster out of a ditch
not far from the car. I missed twice on Sharptails. Daryl and I hunted
some gullies while Muller chose the level ground. We came back
with three more roosters but we paid the price working uphill on a
hot day. We all agreed it was time to call it a day, besides the dogs
were beat and Daryl had to be back at work on Saturday.
Mike came through with two first birds in succession and the
longest tail, Daryl one first bird and largest spur for our three-person
contest for the trip. That cost me five bucks, and Im still smarting!
The highlight of the trip was the apple pie Kens Sharon sent with
us for him which he shared.
Mike and Daryl are shown with our Wednesday 9-bird limit
at 5:55 p.m.
Question: What is the rule for
drivers of motorcycles for mak-
ing left or right turns at intersec-
tions? Sometimes they are not
heavy enough to trip the signal
lights. Someone told me that
they could make a left or right
turn at a red light if it is safe to
do so, after the signal light has
cycled once. Please advise,
thanks.
Answer: Minnesota law ad-
dresses when motorcycles, bicy-
cles and mopeds are not
detected by control systems at
traffic lights, and a signal
change does not occur. The law
gives motorcyclists, bicyclists
and moped riders the option to
proceed through the intersection
after a reasonable amount of
time, and provides an affirma-
tive legal defense to this action.
These five conditions must be
met to proceed:
The motorcycle, bicycle or
moped has been brought to a
complete stop.
The traffic-control signal
continues to show a red light for
an unreasonable time.
The traffic-control signal is
apparently malfunctioning or, if
programmed to change to a
green light only after detecting
the approach of a motor vehicle,
the signal has apparently failed
to detect the motorcycle, bicycle
or moped.
No vehicle or person is ap-
proaching on the roadway to be
crossed or entered, or
Approaching vehicles or
persons are so far away that they
do not constitute an immediate
hazard.
The affirmative defense ap-
plies only to an alleged violation
for entering or crossing an inter-
section controlled by a traffic-
control signal against a red light.
It does not provide a defense to
any other civil or criminal ac-
tion.
Preliminary numbers show a
drop in motorcycle crash fatali-
ties this year in Minnesota a
29 percent decrease as of the
end of September. Motorcyclists
- keep the positive trend going
and stay alive with safe riding
strategies as the season comes to
a close, including:
Assume youre invisible to
drivers
Use both brakes
Dont give up control by
laying it down

Brutes
Bleat

The boat is put away for the
year. I arranged for local storage
and got Daughter-in-law to
come out with her four-wheel
drive SUV. She, Wife, and
Neighbor went to rent a trailer
while I drove the boat to the
beach. Of course, we needed a
lot of rope and tugging and haul-
ing to get the boat on the trailer,
but that's normal.
While getting the trailer, the
three of them discussed my se-
lection of storage, and decided
that backing the trailer over a
ridge sideways and into the
garage could be beyond their
and mycapabilities. The rental
people agreed, although they
had a vested interest in wrap-
ping the boat with plastic and
tuning it up, for a price.
Being captive in the SUV
and facing the fact that Daugh-
ter-in-law was driving, I chose
to let the group have their way.
It was an admission that after
being retired for over a dozen
years, I seem to have become
older and less inclined to get wet
and tired. I am also disinclined
to argue over something that
could result in a pontoon boat on
its side on a gravel ridge in the
road.
Then I took out the window
air conditioner. Last winter it let
in about as much cold air as the
door does when someone leaves
it open. That little project in-
volved taking out all the clever
packing material I stuffed
around it over the last decade. It
seems to have gained a lot of
weight over the years, too. Get-
ting it into the garage was un-
pleasant at best.
Next item to prepare for the
winter is the dock. It is braced
with concrete blocks, and has
two posts with stripped bracket
bolts. I use small screwdrivers
and a rubber hammer to secure
the brackets, but until the screw-
drivers rust in place, they are apt
to slip. That's no problem unless
someone wants to use the dock,
and after all, the pontoon boat's
gone.
There's another window air
conditioner that has to be cov-
ered yet. It's really heavy. I'm
not going to take that out. And I
need to seal up a crawl space
door. And cut down a bunch of
day lilies. And find a good place
to put Son-in-law's old car that
is waiting for Grand-daughters
to get licensed. And put away
the paddle boat. And move
Wife's plants to the basement.
When we lived in South Car-
olina, winter preparation meant
closing the door. When we lived
in Connecticut, winter prepara-
tion meant moving cars when it
snowed.
We're in Minnesota now.

Three times the historic Jude
Hall behind Maple Lakes Irish
Stadium has looked upon its own
demolition, and three times it has
escaped it.
When vandals broke the win-
dows and water leaked in caus-
ing extensive damage, officials at
City Hall wanted to tear it down,
but the local Boy Scouts stepped
in, cleaned it up and used it for
many years, John Northenscold
Jr., the scoutmaster of Troop 219
said.
Then a tree fell on the roof
and caused enough damage that
again it was threatened with
demolition. Again the Boy
Scouts saved it. Later, when
mold was found in the walls, it
seemed there was no avoiding its
fate, but Troop 219 came through
a final time.
Throughout all of its uncer-
tain history, Jude Hall has been a
place where young leaders have
come together to make great
things happen.
Thats what the community
celebrated, Thursday, Oct. 23,
when Jude Hall was rededicated
and given back to the city.
What you have done here is
a great accomplishment, Maple
Lake Mayor Lynn Kissock said
as she accepted an ornate key
from Scout leaders. You are
definitely yet another reason why
Im very proud to be a part of
this community.
Northenscold spoke of hopes
that the building could become
more than just a place for Scouts
to meet. His vision is that it serve
as a community center for after
school activities, Girl Scouts, 4H
clubs, maybe a movie night for
the kids and for private parties
like weddings. This winter it will
be open as a warming house for
the hockey rink that was built a
few years ago.
We have no community
building, no place where kids
can go. This building could fill
that need, Northenscold said.
Betty Thomes, past president
of the Maple Lake Jaycees, ap-
plauded the scouts work and
dedication Thursday night. It
was the Jaycees, she said, that
first imagined a place where the
people of Maple Lake could get
together and enjoy themselves.
She was a member of the
Jaycees when they bought the 12
acres that Jude Hall and Bolduan
Park now sit on. That was back
in 1982.
Jude Hall gets a make-over
Top: John Northenscold Jr., scoutmaster of Troop 219,
and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader Kenny Nyquist hand
the key to Jude Hall over to Maple Lake Mayor Lynn
Kissock, Thursday, Oct. 23, at the buildings re-dedication
ceremony. Behind them, Scouts (from left) Gabe Riviere,
Samuel Riviere, Gabriel Smail and Jack Peterson look on.
Middle: Members of Boy Scouts Troop 219 listen as Betty
Thomes, former member of the Maple Lake Jaycees, re-
members the trouble they had moving Jude Hall to Bold-
uan Park back in 1982. The Municipal Airport donated the
building to the Jaycees, but it fell apart on the way over.
Bottom: From left, Maple Lake Mayor Lynn Kissock, city
council member Deb Geyen and Scout leader Alan Loch
look at a diagram the Jaycees put together back in 1982
when they started the Bolduan Park project. Loch found
the diagram in the dumpster when the Boy Scouts
started cleaning out Jude Hall one year ago. Much of what
the Jaycees conceptualized came true, including ball
fields, hockey rink and game pond.

Mike Niewind, manager of
Rolling Hills Landfill on County
road 37 in Monticello Township,
appeared at the Maple Lake City
Councils most recent meeting,
Tuesday, October 21, to provide
an update on his companys pro-
posed expansion of the landfill.
Niewind told councilmem-
bers that Advanced Disposal is
seeking a 78-acre expansion, and
is also looking to accept house-
hold waste in addition to the in-
dustrial and demolition waste the
company currently accepts. The
facility will also have an area for
accepting yard waste, appliances
and tires in what Niewind de-
scribed as a one-stop shop.
Located east of the Wright
County compost facility, the site
has existed since 1965, owned by
a number of corporate entities.
Advanced Disposals current fa-
cility is about 78 acres, which
Niewind said is roughly the size
of about three football fields, and
the proposed expansion is ex-
pected to be slightly smaller, at
about 72 acres. The addition
would be filled in stages, and ini-
tially would not be visible from
the road. The company has set
the third quarter of 2015 as a tar-
get date to begin accepting waste
at the expansion area.
The company has chosen this
time, Niewind said, because the
landfill is nearing its capacity and
the populations of Wright and
Sherburne County are growing,
creating a need for additional ca-
pacity in years to come.
The time for expansion is
right, he asserted, because it
would allow Rolling Hills to con-
tinue to provide waste disposal,
adding that no other company in
the county takes household waste
at this time. Furthermore, he con-
tinued, Advanced Disposal has
dedicated revenue to neighboring
communities, and more impor-
tantly, can offer more permanent
jobs if the expansion is approved.
Economic benefits to Wright
County and Monticello Town-
ship have amounted to more than
$31 million over a 10-year pe-
riod, Niewind said, and should
the expansion be approved, they
should expect the same benefits
over the next decade. Assuring as
to community safety, Niewind
pointed to major operational
items such as a secure liner sys-
tem, leachate collection, ground-
water monitoring, active gas and
surface water management, con-
tingency action planning and fi-
nancial assurance for proper
closure in the form of a $5.2 mil-
lion bond with the MPCA, which
Niewind said would be increased
with an expansion. An Environ-
mental Impact Statement (EIS),
currently in process, he said,
made note of a few items that are
being addressed, and some wet-
land mitigation requirements are
expected. An endangered species
survey will be completed, as will
studies of traffic patterns, noise
levels and air emissions. Direct
benefit calculations estimate that
$666 is paid to Wright County
and $333 to Monticello Town-
ship on every ton of household
waste that comes into the facility.
Niewind said Advanced Dis-
posal and Rolling Hills have
been working to keep the public
apprised of their expansion pro-
posal, and have been working
with state and local agencies
throughout the entire process.
The public comment period
ended August 29, and the state
has been processing documents
of public opinion. Publication of
a final EIS will be October 27,
and on November 18 a vote from
the MPA Citizens Board is ex-
pected regarding the adequacy of
the EIS. Several permits will also
be required, as will rezoning and
a state-granted certificate of need
for household waste capacity.
Councilmember Deb Geyen
asked how nearby residents are
taking news of the expansion
proposal, and Niewind said hed
met with most of them, and
theyd had some issues in the
past some that have been re-
Councilmember Bart Lauer
asked if the expansion would
mean the addition of employees
at Rolling Hills, and Niewind an-
swered that an additional 10 to
15 employees would be added to
the four currently working at the
site.
In other business, the council:
Heard a report from Kissock
on a recent joint meeting of the
city council, planning commis-
sion and business development
committee at which the process
of expanding industrial land was
discussed. Kissock reported that
the group had identified the four
following action items: starting a
conversation with land owners to
work toward getting an option to
purchase land; ordering a feasi-
bility study to determine all util-
ity costs, along with a site plan;
investigating grant money for
funding sources through the Ini-
tiative Foundation, Minnesotas
Department of Employment and
Economic Development (DEED)
and AgSTAR; and checking with
local businesses to see if any
would like to be an anchor busi-
ness in a future industrial park
setting.

Business Brief
Star Bank was honored by In-
dependent Community Bankers
of Minnesota (ICBM) for 110
years in banking on October 15,
2014, with a flag ceremony held
at Star Banks charter location in
Maple Lake. ICBM traditionally
presents a U.S. flag, which has
long been a symbol of freedom,
prosperity, and independence, to
its member banks that have
reached milestone birthdays of
100 years or more in recognition
of their dedication to community
banking. Since the program
started in 2003, more than 85
banks have been recognized.
Star Banks Board of Direc-
tors, Star Bank branch managers
from 10 office locations, and the
banks ownership group were all
on hand to celebrate the historic
occasion.
Harry Wahlquist, president
and CEO of Star Bank stated,
The history of Star Bank goes
back over 110 years ago, to 1904,
when a national bank was char-
tered under the name of The First
National Bank of Bertha, in
Bertha, Minnesota.
We are proud of the heritage
and small-town values that have
remained a part of our culture
over the years.
Andy Wahlquist, branch man-
ager of Star Bank in Maple Lake,
stated, We appreciate the thou-
sands of wonderful relationships
that have been established with
our valued customers, and I speak
for our entire team when I say that
we are excited about the future
and we have an unwavering com-
mitment to excellence as we con-
tinue our mission of serving our
customers and communities.
In addition to its Maple Lake
office, Star Bank has offices in
Annandale, Barrett, Bertha, Eagle
Bend, Eden Prairie, Elbow Lake,
Graceville, Verndale, and
Wheaton, Minnesota. These small
community locations are evi-
dence of Star Banks emphatic
commitment to the critical role
that home town banks play in pre-
serving the health and vitality and
fostering the growth of rural com-
munities. Currently, Star Bank
employs a staff of 74 people,
posts approximately $225 million
in assets, and has never recorded
an operating loss under its present
ownership.

When it comes to finding gov-
ernment grants for local projects,
any resource that can be used by
a county to help fund the projects
is a plus. At the Oct. 21 meeting
of the Wright County Board of
Commissioners, Wright County
Economic Development Partner-
ship Director Duane Northagen
came before the board seeking
support for the establishment of a
regional economic development
partnership.
For many federal grants, hav-
ing such regional partnerships in
place are required in order to ac-
cess grant funds for giving low-
interest or interest-free loans for
local projects. Northagen said
that Wright County is in the rare
situation of being one of the few
counties in the state that isnt al-
ready in such a regional partner-
ship that can access funds from
the Federal Economic Develop-
ment Administration (EDA).
Wright County, Stearns
County, Sherburne County and
Benton County are four of the six
counties in the state that dont
have a regional development
commission that represents
them, Northagen said. Because
we dont have a regional devel-
opment commission representing
us, were not eligible for federal
EDA funds.
Northagen said the other three
counties are also looking to pur-
sue the concept and are in the
process of getting approval from
their respective county boards to
make sure of that.
To create a regional develop-
ment commission, three steps
will need to be taken establish
a legal entity for the group, make
sure their CEDS (Comprehensive
Economic Development Strat-
egy) reporting is up to date, and
identify a fiscal agent. Northagen
added that the program can help
access large grants that otherwise
wouldnt be available.
Its a tremendous tool,
Northagen said. There arent too
many (programs) out there where
you can get a million dollars-plus
for a grant. I think its a valuable
opportunity that we should have
in our toolbox. Whether we use it
this year, next year or five years
from now, I dont think that really
makes a difference. Its more im-
portant to have it n your toolbox
if needed.
The biggest question the com-
missioners had was the potential
local cost to administrate the pro-
gram. Commissioner Pat
Sawatzke was assured that the
program could be accomplished
without adding staff or having to
make a local financial commit-
ment without any guarantee of
getting grant funding.
I would be reluctant if were
talking about putting county dol-
lars into it, but if we can make it
work and be able to obtain some
sort of financing in the once-in-
a-blue-moon that we would use
it, certainly it would nice to do
it, Sawatkze said. But, I would-
nt want to have to put 10,000
county dollars in it every year for
20 years before finally we got a
chance for someone to get a
loan.

Controlled substance
warrant executed in Maple Lake
Sheriff Joe Hagerty reports

trolled substances at 233 Birch

dren were home at the time of the

22, of Maple Lake) and Shawn
Tyler Benson (age 19, of Delano)

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!

Q: What is a rocket net, and
how is it used by the DNR?
A: A rocket net is a pro-
pelled net used for capturing
wildlife. The net is pulled by
electronically-ignited explosive
charges contained in vented
chambers (rockets). The rock-
ets pull the net through the air,
and the animals are captured as
the net falls on top of them.
Rocket nets come in differ-
ent sizes, but the ones we use
for capturing waterfowl are
commonly about 40 feet long
by 60 feet wide. These nets can
capture hundreds of ducks at
one time, which is especially
useful when we are banding
ducks before the fall hunting
season. The key to rocket nets
is they are fast the net is fired
and fully-deployed, usually in
less than a second.

M a r t h a
Amelia Ernst,
age 86 years,
10 months,
died suddenly
while at San-
ford Medical
Center in Sioux Falls, SD on Oc-
tober 20, 2014.
She was born on December
21, 1927 in Middleville Twp.,
Wright County, MN, the daugh-
ter of Louis and Matilda (Elf-
mann) Ladda, and lived a farm
life. She was baptized at Bethle-
hem Lutheran Church in Mid-
dleville Twp. The family moved
to a farm near Hanover. As a
teenager, Mildred would walk to
Salem Lutheran Church in
Greenfield Village for instruction
of Confirmation. She was con-
firmed in the Christian faith in
1941 by Pastor W.P. Haar.
Mildred was joined in holy
matrimony to August H. Ernst on
May 6, 1946, at Immanuel Evan-
gelical Lutheran Church of Peli-
can Lake. God blessed this union
with seven children. As the fam-
ily grew, they were faithful
members of Cross Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Rockford,
MN.
Mildred worked hard all her
life, helping her father milk cows
and also harvest with horses.
After marrying, she helped her
husband farm in the early years
of their union. After starting a
family, Mildred worked the night
shift at Wasserman Bakery and
Holmquist Bakery, arriving
home in time to let August go to
work, or later, older siblings get
to school.
After August passed away,
Millie spent time in Missouri
with her son and his family and
later in Winner, SD staying with
her daughter, living with Ann.
Mildred loved looking out the
window bird watching as she al-
ways made sure there was feed
in the feeders or later watching
the cows and calves in the pas-
ture. She was always ready for
another day.
Mildred is survived by her
children, Ann (Neil) Vogt of
Winner, SD, Thomas (Debbie)
Ernst of Buffalo, MN, Ruth
(Timothy) Vogt of Winner, SD,
Micah (Claudia) Ernst of Eu-
gene, MO, Joel (Mary) Ernst of
Willeston, ND, Philip (Vicky)
Ernst of Buffalo, MN; daughter-
in-law, Patty Ernst of St. Paul,
MN; 21 grandchildren and their
spouses; 23 great-grandchildren
and their spouses; sisters-in-law,
Dorothy Ladda and Maxine
Ladda; many other relatives and
friends.
Preceded in death by her hus-
band, August Ernst, son, Daniel
Ernst, her parents, Louis and
Matilda Ladda, brothers, Victor
Ladda and Herman Ladda.
Friends called on the family
at Cross Evangelical Lutheran
Church on Sunday, October 26,
from 4-8 p.m..

Back then it was just a corn
field owned by local hobby
farmer Herb Bolduan, Steve
Loch, another former Jaycee
said.
An early drawing of the
Jaycees plans showed a commu-
nity center, ball fields, a hockey
arena, a trap shoot range and a
wet land area in honor of Bold-
uan who loved nature. Much of
what they envisioned came true.
The building itself, which was
named after local contractor Fred
Jude Jr., one of the leading forces
behind the work, according to
Northenscold, was donated by
the Municipal Airport. For many
years the building had served as
the clubhouse for the Maple
Lake Flying Association.
The idea was to move the
building, but it collapsed on the
way, Steve Loch said with a
laugh. So we started taking it
apart. We hauled it over (to Bold-
uan Park) piece by piece.
The Jaycees, with the help of
many community members, put
the old building back together.
If this building could talk
you would hear stories and you
would hear great stories, Betty
Thomes said. This was our
campaign headquarters when
Greg (Thomes) ran for Min-
nesota Jaycees state president.
Greg Thomes, Bettys hus-
band, won the state title that year
then went on to become the na-
tional president of the Jaycees.
The park project was a
dream we had to make a better
spot for our community and it
looks and feels like dreaming is
still going on in this building,
Betty Thomes said. To make
leaders and serve the community,
that is what the Boy Scouts are
doing here now, just like we
did.
According to Northenscold,
fixing up the old building has
been a long process. Two years
ago the Scouts brought in a mold
specialist to do both surface and
airborne testing to determine the
extent of the mold problem.
After consulting with a few more
experts, they got approval from
the city to remove the mold and
rebuild the interior walls. They
also had to remove leaky win-
dows and tear up the wood floor
because there was mold between
the floor boards and the cement
underneath.
The Scouts learned how to
use a screwdriver, sand a floor
and use a mop, Scout leader Alan
Loch said. They patched holes,
and even did a little electrical.
We gave them the freedom
to put their hands to it, and we
made it a safe environment for
them to do it in, he said.
Now that the building is up
and running, Northenscold hopes
that once it starts being used
more, less vandalism will occur.
There were a lot of times we
wanted to go camping, but we
worked here instead, Northen-
scold said. There were a lot of
times we wanted to buy new
equipment, like tents, but we
used the money here.
All Scouts want to do a good
turn every day. This is a good
turn for the troop.
If anyone wants to schedule a
time to use Jude Hall for their
event, they should contact the
city, Mayor Kissock said.

Connecting Links program
seeks mentors for kids
Would you be interested in mak-
ing a difference in a students life?
Or, do you know of students who
would benefit from having mentors
in their life? Connecting Links is a
program which provides a mentor-
ing opportunity between an adult
volunteer and identified student in
need.
The relationship is intended to
nurture the academic, social and/or
emotional aspects of these students,
resulting in a positive environment
in both the home and school in
which they live and learn.
Mentors are encouraged to meet
weekly with their student. These
meetings can be at school or some-
thing planned outside of school with
parent permission. Activities can
range from playing games, making
projects, and working on assign-
ments, to going somewhere fun or
learning something new.
There is training for anyone in-
terested in becoming involved in the
program on Oct. 23rd at 6:30 p.m. in
the elementary media center.
If you want to learn more about
becoming a mentor or know of a stu-
dent who would benefit, please call
or e-mail program coordinator Ce-
leste Dahlstrom at (320) 963-6600 or
Dahlstromc@maplelake.k12.mn.us
Short-call substitute
training is Nov. 3-4
People who want to teach but
dont have the full credentials will
have an opportunity to become cer-
tified as short-call substitute teachers
under the Minnesota Limited, Short-
Call Substitute program. A 4-year
bachelor degree is required to qual-
ify.
Resource Training & Solutions in
St. Cloud has announced that it has
coordinated a two-day program on
November 3-4, 2014, to prepare in-
dividuals to apply to become short-
call substitute teachers.
Under Minnesota law, limited,
short-call substitute teachers licenses
are granted only if teachers who hold
regular teaching licenses are not
available or if a district is experienc-
ing a hardship in securing a suffi-
cient number of regularly licensed
teachers to meet the districts need
for short-call substitute teachers.
The district superintendent may re-
quest that a short call substitute li-
cense be granted to an individual
who holds a baccalaureate degree
from a college or university that is
accredited by the regional associa-
tion for the accreditation of colleges
and secondary schools. Licensure is
good for two years and must be re-
newed bi-annually.
Training will cover topics such as
the substitute teachers role in the
classroom and district, basics of
classroom management and instruc-
tion, basics of child development,
and communication skills.
Registration for the training can
be made by contacting Deb Thomes
at Resource Training & Solutions,

Jennifer DesMarais-Hol-
lands 6th grade class writes
about why they appreciate Amer-
ican Soldiers.
Ryley Hagen
I appreciate American sol-
diers for many reasons. The
biggest reason is because of all
the sacrifices they make for our
freedom. When a soldier is de-
ployed many sacrifices are made
by soldiers and their families.
Soldiers can be deployed for
many months or even years at a
time. During that time they are
missing their family and friends.
Some soldiers even miss their
child being born. They miss
spending holidays with their
family. The families of the sol-
dier have to take charge of the
house and children. The whole
family worries about the soldier
while they are gone.
Sometimes soldiers get in-
jured or even killed while they
are fighting for our country.
When soldiers return home their
family and friends are so happy
to finally see them again. Injured
soldiers have a long road of re-
covery. Families who lose a sol-
dier at war will be very sad for a
long time. I would not want to be
a soldier because I would miss
my family like many other sol-
diers do and I know that they
would miss me. I appreciate the
many things soldiers give up for
our country and my freedom.
Thank you American Soldiers for
all you do.
Patriots Pen
Lexi Hanson
I appreciate American sol-
diers because they fight for us.
They are brave and their courage
makes them do things I cant
imagine doing myself. All of
their hard work is for us. With the
help of these soldiers we have
freedom, and thats all a person
could ask for. These brave men
and women help our country. If
it werent for them we wouldnt
have a lot of things we have now.
Soldiers leave their families
for us. The families of these sol-
diers are brave too. They dont
get to see that family member
for sometimes long periods of
time. You could say they have
their own kind of braveness by
having to live without having
them there.
Another reason I appreciate
soldiers is because they ask for
nothing in return but for us to be
proud of them and our country.
Some people may hate them for
what they do but they still serve
without being self-centered. If
they were they wouldnt be doing
what they do for us.
Not all people in the armed
forces are soldiers. Some are
nurses who help lives that are put
in danger and get wounded or
sick during training or battle.
Without these nurses many more
soldiers would die. Another ex-
ample is my brother Aaron, who
is an electricians mate for the
Navy. He watches generators,
switchboards, and other electrical
equipment. Without him, his
mates, and people like him the
equipment wouldnt have an op-
erator or someone to fix it.
A key to being a good soldier
is their patriotism. They love
their country and sacrifice their
safety to ensure ours. They do
this because they love their
homeland.
Noah Zitzloff
Veterans help us in many
ways. Veterans help by serving
our country to keep us safe. They
spend time away from their fam-
ilies to train and protect us. I am
very proud that they are willing
to sacrifice their time away from
their families and put themselves
in danger for us.
I had a family member serve
in the Military. I was extra proud
to say I knew who he was. He
was gone for a long time and his
family and I missed him. It was
great when he came back safely.
He has shared some stories about
his service and it sounds like it
was a crazy adventure.
I dont feel brave enough to
serve in the Military. I am very
proud though of those who do. I
think it would be fun to learn
how to survive in other countries
and train with guns and grenades,
but I wouldnt actually ever want
to have to use them. At times I
think it would be fun to be a
sniper and go through the train-
ing but I know I would be scared
and not want to be away from my
family.
I know how important it is to
say thank you to all of the veter-
ans who have served our country
and I am proud to live in the
United States of America. I am
thankful that our country stands
for freedom and that in our
school we say the Pledge of
allegiance everyday to help re-
member our freedom and Veter-
ans.
We also have many books in
our school library that we can
read teaching us more about sol-
diers and the Military. On No-
vember 11th our school will have
a special program to honor veter-
ans and remember those who
have passed away. I look forward
to that day.

Many people will remember
the winter of 2013-14 for all the
wrong reasons. Record low tem-
peratures and heavy snowfall were
the story last winter. With winter
now on the horizon once again,
many motorists are looking for
ways to ensure their daily com-
mutes or holiday trips to visit fam-
ily and friends are as safe as
possible.
With wintry conditions, includ-
ing snowfall and compromising
driving conditions, its best for mo-
torists to stay home. But avoiding
roadways altogether is not always
an option, so motorists who simply
must venture out onto the road-
ways this winter can employ the
following strategies to ensure they
safely arrive at their destinations.
Consider winter tires. Many
drivers are unsure if they need
winter tires. All-season tires may
suffice for those drivers who live in
regions where heavy snowfall is
uncommon. But winter tires are
designed to perform when the
temperatures are especially cold
and in driving conditions featuring
ice, slush and snow. Some drivers
mistakenly believe that vehicle fea-
tures such as anti-lock braking sys-
tems and traction control make
their tires more capable of han-
dling wintry roads. But such fea-
tures do not provide more traction.
ABS and traction control only pre-
vent drivers from over-braking or
overpowering the traction of their
tires. Only better tires will improve
traction.
Drive slowly. Many drivers
mistakenly believe they only need
to drive slow when snow is falling.
Wet winter roads can quickly turn
into icy winter roads, and no ABS
system or traction control device
can prevent a car thats traveling
too fast from skidding out. Poor
visibility is another reason to drive
slowly in winter. Even if your vi-
sion is not compromised, a fellow
motorists might be. So ease up on
the gas pedal in winter so you
have more time to react to poten-
tially adverse conditions.
Dont drive too closely to
other motorists. In addition to driv-
ing slowly, motorists also should
leave extra room between their ve-
hicles and the vehicles in front of
them. In such conditions, for every
10 miles per hour drive a minimum
of four car lengths behind the mo-
torist in front of you. So if you are
driving 50 miles per hour, be sure
to leave 20 car lengths between
you and the car ahead of you. This
gives you ample time to react and
builds in some extra response time
should your visibility be compro-
mised.
Maintain your vehicle. A ve-
hicles battery and windshield
wipers are a winter drivers best
friend, but only if they are operat-
ing at optimal capacity. Being
stranded on a roadside in winter is
more dangerous than in any other
time of year. Thats because driver
visibility is more compromised in
winter, and it can be hard for mo-
torists to see or avoid vehicles on
the side of the road.
Wintry conditions often make
driving especially hazardous. But
drivers who adopt certain habits
when driving in winter can greatly
reduce their risk of accidents.

Autumn is a beautiful time of
year marked by welcoming cooler
temperatures and the natural
beauty of leaves changing colors.
With such a seemingly short
time between the end of summer
and the dawn of winter, home-
owners know they don't have too
many weekends in between to
prepare their homes for the poten-
tially harsh months ahead. But
such preparation, often referred to
as "winterizing," can make a home
more comfortable when the mer-
cury dips below freezing, while
saving homeowners substantial
amounts of money along the way.
Clean the gutters. If the leaves
and additional debris, such as twigs
and dirt, that pile up in your gutters
are not cleared out before the first
winter storm, the results can be
costly and even catastrophic.
Winter rain and snowfall needs
a place to go upon hitting your
roof, and gutters facilitate the travel
of such precipitation from your
roof into street-level drainage sys-
tems. If gutters are backed up with
leaves and other debris, then ice
dams may form, forcing water to
seep in through the roof. That
damage can be costly and can
even cause the roof to collapse in-
ward in areas with heavy snowfall.
Tend to your attic. Home-
owners who have attics in their
homes might want to add extra in-
sulation up there, especially those
who recall feeling cold inside their
homes last winter, which is often a
telltale sign of improper insulation
in a home. A good rule of thumb
when determining if your attic
needs more insulation is to look for
the ceiling joists. If you can see the
joists, then you need more insula-
tion.
Address leaky windows and
doors. Sometimes attic insulation is
not the culprit when it comes to a
cold home. Oftentimes, leaky win-
dows and doors are the real bad
guys in a drafty home. Fall is a
great time to inspect for leaky win-
dows and doors, as the wind out-
side can serve as your partner.
When the wind outside is blowing,
take a tour of your home's win-
dows and doorways, standing next
to them to determine if there are
any holes or leaks that are letting
outdoor air inside. If you notice
any leaks beneath exterior doors,
install door sweeps to keep out-
door air where it belongs. Leaks
around windows can be snuffed
out with caulk or weather strip-
ping.
Test the furnace. With winter
on the horizon, fall is the time to
test the furnace to make sure it's
ready for the months ahead. Ex-
pect a somewhat foul yet brief
odor to appear when starting the
furnace. That odor should dissipate
shortly, but if it does not go away,
then your furnace is likely in need
of repair. But even if the smell does
not stick around, you might want
to have the furnace cleaned by a
professional anyway. Such clean-
ings ensure the furnace works effi-
ciently throughout the winter.
Clean the garage. Clean the
garage in the fall so you have an in-
door parking spot throughout the
winter season. Protecting your car
from the elements can add years to
its life and also saves you the trou-
ble of digging your car out of the
snow.
Fall is a time of year for home-
owners to spend a weekend or
two preparing their homes for the
often harsh weather that awaits
when winter arrives.

home from harsh weather

The Maple Lake Irish kicked
off the postseason last Tuesday
night against the St. Paul Hum-
boldt Hawks in the Section 4AA
quarterfinal round at Irish Coun-
try Stadium. The Irish were the
first section seed and the Hawks
were eight. The Irish came into
the game knowing that a loss
would not only mean elimina-
tion, but a disappointing end to
a remarkable season. The Irish
beat the Hawks 41-0 to move on
to the next round.
The Irish offense drove the
ball with ease against the 1-7
Hawks and were never on the
field for more the six plays. Cal
Redemske averaged 17 yards a
carry, Dustin Strub averaged
over 18 yards a carry, and Austin
Becker averaged nine yards. The
three running backs ran fast and
physical, breaking tackles and
finishing their runs to find the
end zone. All of this courtesy of
the Irish offensive line that look
crisp pushing the Humboldt de-
fensive line into the Hawk's own
linebackers, freeing the Irish
running backs to burst out for
huge runs. The Irish never
looked to the air for offensive
yards and didn't want to give
any momentum to the Hawks in
case if a turnover.
The Irish managed to score
35 points in the first half and
gave the reserves valuable reps
in a big game to prove them-
selves. The reserves first drive
down the field was successful
resulting in a score. For the re-
mainder of the second half, they
struggled but proved they could
move the ball against varsity
players. "We moved the ball
fairly easily..." a confident jun-
ior guard Nick Priesinger said,
"... We have some things to
work on especially when the
competition will get better."
The Irish defense was superb
and dominated a fast Humboldt
team. They came off the ball and
drove the O-line of Humboldt
back with ease. This chaos cre-
ated open lanes for the swarm-
ing linebackers to fill the gaps
and suppress Humbolts running
game. With the Hawks running
attack unsuccessful, they at-
tempted to look to the air to
move the ball. The Irish shut
down the air attack as well with
the combination of pressure on
the quarterback lead by defen-
sive ends Al Toedter and Do-
minic Kaley and with a
swarming back field. The
Hawks struggled to move the
ball with their longest drive at
20 yards and 64 yards of total
offense for the game. "We
played good against a struggling
program and we needed to keep
our intensity and continued to
play great." Senior Kicker Char-
lie Stejskal after the 41-0 victory
over Humboldt.

The Irish volleyball team
won the first round of the Sec-
tion 5-2A tournament, Thurs-
day, Oct. 23, bringing them that
much closer to a state tourna-
ment berth.
The Irish, the No. 1 seed,
defeated Rockford, the No. 8
seed, in three games, 25-15, 25-
14 and 25-8. The win boosted
their overall record to 24-5.
"I feel like we were a more
fundamentally sound team. We
executed a solid match, serving
95 percent, and keeping our
overall errors to a minimum,
Head Coach Marty Kiebel said.
"We will have bigger chal-
lenges to face as the playoffs
continue."
As a team the Irish also had
seven serving aces and 25 digs.
Jennie Pomije went 29 for
29 serving with two aces and
10 assists; Lindsey Rachel
went 8 for 8 serving with one
ace, five kills and six digs;
Morgan Scheiber went 13 for
13 serving with one ace; Jill
Goelz went 10 for 11 serving
with two aces and Olivia Mar-
quette went seven for eight
serving with one ace and six as-
sists.
The Irish were to face No. 4
seed Providence Academy, at
home, Tuesday, Oct. 28, in the
second match of the section
tournament. If they win, they
will play either Mound-West-
onka (No. 3 seed) or DeLaSalle
(No. 2 seed) at St. Michael-Al-
bertville, Thursday, Oct. 30,at 6
p.m. The team that goes on to
state will be determined on Sat-
urday, Nov. 1, at SM-A.

Maple Lake will send three
runners to the State Cross Coun-
try Meet, Saturday, Nov. 1, at St.
Olaf College in Northfield after
stellar performances at the Sec-
tion 5A race in Milaca last week.
On the girls side, Sommer
Carlson finished fourth with a
time of 15:29 to advance, and
Halle Geyen finished 10th in
16:08 to go on. Both are three-
time state-meet qualifiers. Last
year the two girls finished in the
top 25 to earn All-State honors.
They hope to improve upon those
times, Saturday.
On the boys side, Andrew
Schonnesen will make his second
appearance at state after qualify-
ing Thursday, Oct. 23, in Milaca
with a time of 17:25 for 15th
place overall.
Hes excited to go, Head
Coach Ben Youngs said. This is
his third sport. Hes also very
good at track and basketball. That
says what kind of an athlete he is.
The field overall was slower
on the girls side this year, Youngs
said. Carlsons time last year at
the same race would have won
the meet this year, he said.
Elizabeth Schlafke of Annan-
dale took that honor Thursday.
Sommer ran a solid race
even though she wasnt feeling
real well, Youngs said. She
went after it like she always
does.
Geyen was nervous going into
Thursdays race, but ran smart by
getting into a good position early
on, then hanging onto it, Youngs
said.
As a team, the girls placed
seventh out of 22 teams with 182
points. Annandale won with 36
points and Mora was a distant
second with 106. Both will ad-
vance to state.
I was really proud of Grace
Heying. Its hard to be a seventh
grader at a big race like this. I
think we will see good things
from her in the future, Youngs
said.
Heying placed 33rd in a time
of 16:58.
The boys team ran for fourth
out of 22 teams, coming in be-
hind Mora and Glencoe-Silver
Lake in first and second, respec-
tively. Annandale was third with
121 points and Maple Lake had
126.
Mora and G-SL dominated
with scores of 34 and 47.
The boys race went about
how we expected it. The top two
teams were heads and tails above
the rest of the field, Youngs said.
It was a close race for two
other Irish runners. Devin De-
ringer missed advancing by one
place and Jackson Willard missed
it by two places. They finished
19th and 21st, respectively.
The top eight individuals who
werent members of the two
qualifying teams advanced to
state in both the girls and boys
races.
Cullen Gallagher, who fin-
ished 56th, had a season best time
of 18:56, Youngs said.
The three Irish runners will
compete at St. Olaf College in
Northfield on Nov. 1. The boys
race begins at 10 a.m. and the
girls will run at 11 a.m.

After a short week of practice,
the Irish offense was determined
to flex their muscles against the
BC defense that came out swing-
ing in the first series. The Irish
offense attempted to run up the
middle but was plugged up by a
cutting defensive line of BC. The
Irish reverted to look outside the
tackles and it worked as Dustin
Strub skated into the end zone for
the first score of the game. The
following kickoff from Charlie
Stejskal was "pouched" perfectly
and recovered by the Irish. The
Irish again drove down a short
field and scored. Only three min-
utes had passed and the Irish had
the lead 13-0, and the BC offense
hadn't set foot on the field. The
Irish offense continued their of-
fensive crusade, as they went 5/5
on offensive drives in the first
half, surmounting to a score of 47
into the second half, two coming
from the air, one from Goelz and
the other a trick play from Re-
demske that found connection
with Ryan Kalinowski.
The Irish came out in the sec-
ond, benching Redemske, Strub
and Goelz, giving Nathan Maas,
Austin Becker, and Ben Triplett
an opportunity to run the ball
against a varsity defense and be-
hind a varsity offensive line.
Their first drive resulted in a
fumble that was recovered and
taken back for a touchdown for
BC. The Irish moved the ball and
scored on their next drive, recap-
turing the momentum. With a
lead increasing, the entire JV
checked in on offense and strug-
gled to move the ball against the
starving defense of BC, but man-
aged to move the ball safely and
keep the clock moving.
"We had a nice day of work
and managed to move the ball at
will," senior wide receiver Ryan
Kalinowski said confidently and
anxiously about what lies ahead.
" We need to continue to bring it
next week in the Section finals."
"We had one of the most in-
tense and physical practices all
year," junior linebacker Blake
Wellsted said before the game.
"We worked too hard to lose
against them." The Irish defense
had to compete with a very fast
and athletic Centaur offense.
Their hard work paid off. The
Irish defense contained the high
flying BC offense to 176 yards of
total offense. The Irish defensive
line came fast off the ball, espe-
cially senior Hunter Hicks. The
four linemen kept the athletic
quarterback of BC scrambling.
However, their effort may have
been too fast. The quarterback,
Tyrell Beasley, made plays with
his legs and led his team to a
scoring drive in the second quar-
ter, but was halted after the run.
Linebackers and defensive backs
swarmed Beasley. Beasley and
fellow running back Jason Bar-
ton together racked up 165 yards
against the Irish run defense,
down yardage from their previ-
ous games. The Centauars
looked to throw. Their attempts,
at first, were successful with two
completions for 70 yards. They
furthered their attempts, but were
spoiled when a charging defen-
sive linemen and blitzing line-
backers put pressure on Beasley
and even causing an interception
from Strub. "We did what we
wanted to..." senior defensive
tackle Josh Gindele said after a
commanding defensive showing
"We contained them to their
breaking point and held them to
a season low."
The Irish ended the Centaur's
season and sent them home
empty-handed. The seniors
played their last game at Irish
Country Stadium and will have
to continue their crusade at vari-
ous venues, as long as their sea-
son moves on. The Irish will play
for a trip to the state tournament
on Saturday, Nov. 1st, at 1 p.m.
at St. John's University against
the surging Lakers of Howard

Anabel M. Jude, Maple Lake
The council directed City
Engineer Phil Gravel and Stan-
tec Engineering to do some pre-
liminary cost assessments, and
requested that Economic Devel-
opment Director Jo Foust be di-
rected to contact property
owners and inquire as to their
willingness to explore further
options.
Approved payment number
six in the amount of $23,242.13
to LaTour Construction for work
on the 2014 Street Improvement
Project. This request covers
work completed through the end
of September, and includes some
estimated quantities that still re-
quire contractor documentation
to determine the final quantity
for final payment. With this pay-
ment, the value of work com-
pleted is roughly 90 percent of
the original bid amount. The
council also approved payment
number one in the amount of
$21,042.50 to Gertken Bros. Inc.
for work on the 2014 topsoil and
seeding project. This request
covers work completed in Sep-
tember, and covers half of the
work that was completed, with a
final payment due in the spring
that includes a five percent re-
tainage until the project is ready
for final acceptance. The council
also directed staff to prepare and
mail a follow-up survey regard-
ing the 2014 Street Project to af-
fected property owners.
Heard from City Engineer
Phil Gravel that a one-year war-
ranty televising inspection of the
citys water and sewer lines for
inflow and infiltration reduction
(I&I) compliance has been com-
pleted by SAK construction, and
that he will work with Public
Works Director Jerry Sawatzke
to review the reports, once they
are submitted. There are two
areas of the project where the
contractor was unable to com-
plete lining, due to the condition
of the pipe: two segments of pipe
in the backyard area north of
Sunset Street between Rose and
Elm Avenues, and also a short
segment on Ash Street, north of
Division. The sewer segments in
these areas consist of 6-inch di-
ameter clay pipe that has several
misaligned joints, cracks and
sags. As pipelining and repair on
these pipes will not be com-
pleted under the current SAK
contract, Gravel will work with
Sawatzke to come up with op-
tions for repairing these seg-
ments, and the council also
authorized Gravel to proceed
with a topographical survey of
the sanitary sewer in these two
areas, on a per diem basis not to
exceed $3000.
Heard from Sawatzke that
John Haack of 118 1st St. East
objected to plans for the milling
down of a hump in the road in
front of Haacks residence.
Haack asserted that the hump
had not only solved springtime
drainage issues, but had also un-
expectedly proven to be of addi-
tional benefit as a de facto speed
bump.
Adopted a resolution transfer-
ring $46,751.60 from the Fire
Department Fund to the Maple
Lake Firemens Relief Associa-
tion. The city has received that
amount in state aid, and the
transfer is required. Lauer, a
member of the fire department,
abstained.
Tabled approval of new lan-
guage for a T-Mobile letter of
credit until return communica-
tion from T-Mobile has been re-
ceived.
These council actions were
made in the absence of Coun-
cilmember Shar Dircks.
The Maple Lake City Council
has set Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 7
p.m. as a council meeting date to
certify election results. The city
council must certify local elec-
tion results within 10 days of the
general election.
The councils next meeting is
Tuesday, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m.
Candidate Forum
Jude, a lifelong area resident,
has lived in the City of Maple
Lake for 12 years, attending St.
Timothy School through sixth
grade and graduating from Maple
Lake Senior High School in 2000.
He has worked for the past eight
years as an energies consultant for
Wright-Hennepin Electric Coop-
erative Assoc. At the age of 21, he
bought his grandparents house in
town and said he knows what its
like to be part of the younger gen-
eration moving into a new town.
Married four years, with two
small children, Jude is a member
of the Maple Lake Fire Depart-
ment and an emergency medical
technician, and said hed like to
join the council to further his com-
munity involvement and see what
more the city could do to grow, in
order to bring more people in, to
better Maple Lake for future resi-
dents.
Geyen, another lifelong Maple
Lake resident, left the city for a
short time to attend Mankato State
University and is currently serving
her eighth year on the city coun-
cil.
Im hoping to get re-elected,
she said. I love this community,
everybody in it. I have a passion
for it, and I want to bring your
voice to the table.
Geyen has worked for the
Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources parks and trails man-
agement division for the past 19
years.
After the introductions, former
mayor Messina asked each candi-
date a series of three questions,
asking why they made the deci-
sion to run for office, what they
recognized as problems in the city
and what their vision was of
Maple Lake 10 years in the future.
Messina next opened the floor
to citizens in the audience, inviting
them to ask their own questions of
the candidates.
Several residents posed ques-
tions on diverse subjects to the
candidates, including John Rivers
asking how important they think
industrial development is to
Maple Lake and what they would
do to encourage it,
Judy Draper, commented on
the poor water quality in older
downtown buildings and asked
candidates how they planned to
bring the infrastructure up to a
threshold that will make it attrac-
tive to new businesses.
Jim Martin reminded the can-
didates that tons of seniors will
be retiring over the next 10 years
who will be in need of housing
and would likely prefer a small
town like Maple Lake over St.
Cloud or Buffalo or the Twin
Cities. He suggested that in city
planning, the candidates remem-
ber that demographic group as a
significant taxable asset.
Tricia Manuel wanted to know
how each candidate would ap-
proach a difficult decision and
how they might tell a person
something they didnt want to
hear.
Finally, each candidate was
given one minute to summarize
their points.
Kissock said she looks forward
to another term as mayor and has
enjoyed getting to know what
everybody in town has to offer to
this community, as well as having
Re-Elect
DEB GEYEN
Maple Lake City Council
November 4
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE EXPERIENCED
RELIABLE A COMMON SENSE APPROACH
Paid for by the candidate on her own behalf.
I would
appreciate
your vote on
November 4th
an opportunity to help the city
grow and move in the right direc-
tion. Hennen expressed a desire to
represent the community and to
be involved in helping it move
forward. Jude said he wants to
make sure Maple Lake continues
to be the good city that it is, and
as someone who was raised here
and is raising his family here,
wants to make sure that other peo-
ple will want to raise their families
here, as well. Geyen spoke of her
passion for the community, saying
she has served the past eight years
working to pull the city in the di-
rection it needs to move, and is
running for re-election to continue
in that endeavor.
In closing, Messina expressed
appreciation for the candidates
participation and commended
them for their intestinal fortitude
and the difficulty of the jobs they
were campaigning to win.
Ive always said that in a
small town like Maple Lake,
everyone should be mandated to
serve one term on either the
school board or the city council,
Messina said. Thered be a lot
less complaining going on.

Appointed Commissioners
Mike Potter and Charlie Borrell

prised of the two commissioners

ogy, county attorney, administra-
tion and maintenance
departments.
Approved signatures on an
easement agreement between the
county and Silver Creek Town-
ship for public road, utilities and

ments for a township road con-
struction project that will take

would be needed along Harry
Larson County Forest, a county-

struction, reducing the amount of
easement on each side of the
road from 42 feet down to 17
feet in order to save trees that
had initially been in the planned
easement area.

line with live coverage of county
