Four new teachers are joining
the staff at District 881: Elemen-
tary music teacher and band di-
rector Abby Klumb, high school
art teacher Beth Olson, high
school math and Strategies for
Learning teacher Justin Roob
and first-grade teacher Sue
Schmitz.
Each new staff member took
some time to tell the communi-
tity about themselves.
Abby Klumb: I grew up on a
family-run dairy farm in rural
Dimock, SD. I grew up the baby
of my loving family. I have twin
brothers a year-and-a-half older
than me and an older sister who
is three years older than me.
Each of my siblings are happily
married. One of my brothers and
his wife just welcomed a beauti-
ful baby girl into their family.
My sister is also expecting and
will soon add a brand new baby
girl to her family along with her
husband and 3-year-old son.
I attended high school at
Parkston School District in Park-
ston, SD. Upon my high school
graduation in 2010 I began the
pursuit of my Bachelors Degree
in both instrumental and
vocal/general music education
from Northern State University
in Aberdeen, SD.
I recently completed my stu-
dent teaching in Ipswich, SD,
where I was given the incredible
opportunity to teach K-12 choir,
band and general music to in-
credible children who helped me
grow and sharpen my craft as an
educator.
I was excited to finally re-
ceive my degree in May of 2014
upon my graduation from North-
ern State. I am also very excited
to be planning my wedding as I
got engaged to my boyfriend of
three years and best friend at the
end of this summer.
I am most excited to begin
building a new program and im-
plementing all of the frame-
works and strategies I have been
studying for the past four years
to spark an interest for music
and lifelong learning. I am ex-
cited to meet all of my new stu-
dents and discover their various
personalities and talents. It is
truly exciting to imagine assist-
ing these children and laying a
solid foundation in the subject of
music and unlocking the poten-
tial each student has to succeed.
My educational goal for my
future career beginning at Maple
Lake is to build a comprehensive
curriculum based on state and
national music standards that
will engage students while lay-
ing a solid foundation for suc-
cess in my classroom.
I hope to build a positive and
lasting relationship with my stu-
dents as well as their parents and
members of the community by
creating outreach through music
performance and community
service. I hope that my students
are excited to come to my class-
room everyday and have a
brightness in their eyes that
speaks to their love for learning
music.
Beyond my initial educa-
tional goals for this school year,
I also am seeking my certifica-
tion in Kodaly music teaching
methods and have plans to earn
my Masters Degree in music
education within the coming
three years.

Permission granted for street-level apartment
New staff awaits start of school year
Four join District 881 staff
by Katie Friedman
Correspondent
After much consideration and
two continuations on the matter,
the Maple Lake City Council
has approved a conditional use
permit for Scott Christian to
place a residential apartment on
the ground floor of his down-
town building at 66 Birch Ave.
S. The approval came at the
councils meeting on Tuesday,
Aug. 19.
Christian, intending to place
the apartment in the buildings
middle section, had previously
informed commissioners the
building was too large to fill out
with retail space and that he had
no intention of changing the
storefront in any way. As the
building had once included an
apartment, with bathroom fix-
tures that still remain, Christian
had said he was hoping to put an
apartment on the main level
again and provided a floor plan
including square footage and a
designated parking area.
Prior to recent amendments
disallowing street-level apart-
ments in the downtown business
district, the citys zoning ordi-
nance had provided for a resi-
dential dwelling in connection
with retail use in the same build-
ing as a conditional use, though
members of the Planning Com-
mission had voiced doubts re-
garding the appropriateness of
residential dwellings on the
street level, ultimately recom-
mending against the approval.
But, as Christians application
had been made before the
amendments, councilmembers
agreed that the new rules did not
apply in this case.
Taking time to review the
matter, the council imposed a
number of conditions to the per-
mit, and Christian agreed to
comply with all of them. The
conditions are as follows: No
nuisance noise, specifically loud
music, will be tolerated; no out-
side storage will be allowed; no
personal storage to be allowed
on Birch Avenue; no pets; prop-
erty must conform to ordinance
requirements for both upstairs
and downstairs apartments; all
building codes must be met, in-
cluding any windows to be in-
stalled; there must be adequate
utilities to light, heat and cool
the apartment; no other apart-
ments will be allowed on street-
level; access to the ground-floor
apartment would not be allowed
on Birch Avenue (unless Chris-
tian is unable to have another en-
trance elsewhere and still meets
building codes); storefronts lin-
ear measurements must not be
changed; residential and nonres-
idential uses shall have separate
entrances and exits; there are to
be no physical improvements,
either interior or exterior, that
may preclude future reuse for
commercial purposes; the com-
mercial space that remains after
the apartment is built must be
maintained to meet white box
standards, meaning optimal con-
ditions for a business to move in;
that the residential space be lim-
ited to one two-bedroom apart-
ment; and that once construction
on the apartment begins, it must
be completed within 180 days.
New vaccine
requirements
begin Monday
On Sept. 1, 2014, changes to
Minnesotas Immunization Law
will take effect. The changes
were made to be more closely
aligned with the current Advi-
sory Committee on Immuniza-
tion Practices (ACIP)
recommendations. Medical and
conscientious exemptions are
still allowed under the law.
New Vaccine Requirements
The new vaccines that will
require documentation of immu-
nization or a legal exemption in-
clude:
Hepatitis B For all chil-
dren over 2 months old in child
care or an early childhood pro-
gram. Hepatitis B was already
required for children in school.
Hepatitis A For all chil-
dren over 24 months old in child
care or an early childhood pro-
gram.
Tdap For all students en-
tering seventh grade. Students in
eighth through 12th grade must
show documentation if the
school requests it. This replaces
the Td immunization require-
ment.
Meningitis (meningococcal)
For all students entering sev-
enth grade. Students entering
eighth through 12th grade must
show documentation if the
school requests it.
Changes to Previous Vaccine
Requirements
Varicella Children 15
months and older must have re-
ceived varicella (chickenpox)
vaccine or show documentation
that they have either had vari-
cella disease or a legal exemp-
tion. This changes the
requirement from 18 months to
15 months.
Additionally, the law clarifies
that if a child had varicella dis-
ease:
Before Sept. 1, 2010, the
parent or guardian needs to pro-
vide the month/year of the dis-
ease and their signature. A
providers signature is not re-
quired.
After Sept. 1, 2010, a
providers signature is required.
Polio and DTaP Starting
with the 2015-2016 school year,
children entering kindergarten
must have had their final:
Alyssa Sernett, Dawn Kincs, Theresa Heimkes and Heather Quinlan are in new positions at St. Timothys School.

Ive received a lot of sympathy that I wasnt looking for last week
from anglers who seem to follow my comments about not getting
many, if any, sunfish recently. Im pleased to say that seems to have
changed with a trip to Clearwater Lake one day last week with Vanna.
We did some sorting and when we had a dozen in the livewell we fig-
ured that was enough for two good meals for two people. Our last fish
for the outing was 9 inches and when it hit my piece of leech it felt
more like a Northern fighting the hook than a sunfish. Anyway, I was
impressed not having been on that lake for a good 10 years and Ill no
doubt be making a return trip one of these days. I was fishing in about
9 feet of water just off the edge of the weeds or in them most of the
time.

I wasnt ready for the Lakers baseball season to end like it did Friday
night when Sobieski came out on top 3-1 in Maple Lakes first game
of the state tournament. Both pitchers, Jeremy Schmidt for the Lakers;
and Cole Jendro for Sobieski, were on their game not giving up very
many hits or earned runs. The Lakers one-run lead held up until their
defense fell apart in the later innings and that spelled disaster for the
Lakers, who many had picked (including Dale Welter who lost $5) to
win the whole shebang. Jendro, in my opinion, was the toughest pitcher
the Lakers have faced this year. What started out as a pitchers duel,
and Schmidt was also at his best, kept fans on the edge of their seats as
the scoreboard continued to be filled with zeros until a series of errors
tipped the scale in the Skis favor. Anyway, it has been a great season
of baseball for Laker fans who filled two tour buses for the Friday night
game. Many of them were decked out in new Laker T-shirts, including
Marge Fobbe who managed a quick change in the grandstand before
the game got underway. In other games Howard Lake kept their hopes
alive when they defeated Waconia 3-2 Saturday night in a well-played
game. They are a team to watch and will play Jordan in an 11 a.m.
game Saturday. Kimball was defeated by Fergus Falls 5-3 which ends
their run for the trophy when the tournament ends on Labor Day. My
thanks to the Lakers for the great summer entertainment they provided
and Im looking forward to another great year of baseball in Maple
Lake next summer.
This years State Tournament book has two pages of memories of
best tournaments which made for interesting reading. Dale Welter,
Chaska; and Bill Nelson, Dundas; both zeroed in on the same games
between those two towns in the 1998 finals which required the extra
game on Labor Day after Chaska battled back through the elimination
bracket. Chaska won their game by two runs in the bottom of the ninth
and Dundas won the finale, scoring two runs in the bottom of the ninth
to win by one. Welter said, I will always remember the Cubs playing
their hearts out for two games in front of an incredible, boisterous full-
house.

Next week is the beginning of the school year in Maple Lake and
that means motorists will have to keep a lookout for students as well
as for the school buses which transport many of them. A warm wel-
come to the staff at both the public school and St. Tims as they begin
another year of teaching the students. I was impressed with the Irish
News that came in the mail last week which included a top-notch cal-
endar of the many events at the school and community.
* * *
Vanna gave me a solid point Friday while we were walking on one
of the wooded trails in Ney East Park. I took a step into the grass ahead
of the dog, hoping the point wasnt on a skunk. I lucked out and it was
two mourning doves that flushed and flew into some nearby trees.
Later we had a pheasant hen and one chick fly out ahead of us. We
also heard more than one rooster crowing from the Giebenhain side of
the Lake Mary swamp. The dove season begins Sept. 1 as does the bear
hunting. That is also a sign that most of Minnesotas summer will be
over soon and after the high humidity on Sunday Im ready for fall.
Im waiting to hear what the DNR has to say about the ruffed grouse
and pheasant population, hoping for the best but realistically knowing
that the pheasant numbers wont be good.

Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Awhile ago we found this
neat toy store for boys a ways
from home. Having a grandson
in our house for a timealong
with the rest of Daughter's fam-
ilywe decided to take him
there, where he could mess with
things with which we had no
emotional attachment for a
change.
We stopped in a little bakery
in that town, where the middle
of the state has some dialects
that are more pronounced than
our almost-suburban town. I'm
getting better at dialects, so I
thought I'd be able to communi-
cate with the locals. We'd been
unable to find the toy store, al-
though we thought we knew
where the building was.
Sooo . . . wat happent ta da
toy shop, I said, that useta be
in da deepo? I figured that
should make her think I was a
local.
Oh dem. Dey just moved
outta town de udder day, ya
know, cause da store went to da
Mall a America, the delight-
fully pretty girl behind the
counter said. I live across da
street from dere, dontcha know,
so I seen em like load up the
trucks. Sooo, by da way, ya want
some a dem Bismarcks, or
maybe a pie dere? Good berry
pies taday, ya know.
How bout a buncha donut
holes?
Here's a bucket a dem, some
a each kind, and like only a buck
niney-nine. Lena made em dis
morning, ya know.
Looks good. Here's two
bucks, and like keep da shange.
Ya you betcha, sport. Sure.
Okay. See ya later. Her voice
and that look she gave me let me
know she knew I wasn't a local.
That went pretty well, I
thought, though I evidently got
caught. Sometimes people ap-
preciate it if you try to talk like
they do. It went far better than
the time I asked for coffee in the
lowlands of South Carolina.
They wanted me to have sweet
tea, and probably hadn't made
coffee for a year. I wasn't sure
what word I should have used
for coffee. Or the time in Ger-
many when I ordered a Beeg
Mock at McDonald's, proving I
was an American.
Next I plan to work on my
Iron Range talk. We knew some
people up on the Iron Range but
right now I don't have anyone
that can give me lessons in the
Arn Rainch dialect. Some of the
idioms will come back to me if I
could hear them talk a few more
times.

Irrigation on highways
Question: I have wanted to
ask this question for some time
now, and after talking to others
about it, it's time to ask. While
driving through the country side,
on more than one occasion, Ive
been blasted with water coming
from the water cannon on the
end of field irrigators. I ride a
motorcycle and can't imagine
what would happen if I got hit
with one of those water cannons
while on my bike.
What is the law regarding
shooting the water from an irri-
gator onto or across a public
road, and what can we as drivers
do about it? This could be a very
dangerous situation if the right
circumstances existed. I hope
you publish the answer as there
are many looking for the answer.
Answer: Good question as
its been a year since I received
any inquiries on this subject and
here we are in a dry part of the
season again.
I am unable to locate any law
or statute that specifically states
that it is illegal for an irrigation
system to spray water on a high-
way; however, I did find this in
Minnesota State Statute
160.2715 on whats considered
a violation:
(1) obstruct any highway or
deposit snow or ice thereon;
(2) plow or perform any other
detrimental operation within the
road right-of-way
Violation of this statute is a
misdemeanor. It is my opinion
that if enough water was de-
posited onto the highway, this
statute may apply. Obstruct
any highway does not only
mean to block but to hinder
from passage and impede.
As for detrimental meaning
obviously harmful, if theres
enough standing water on a
roadway for a vehicle to hy-
droplane and cause a crash - this
too could be an issue.
Ive grown up and lived my
entire life in rural Minnesota.
Ive traveled hundreds of thou-
sands of miles and been dowsed
several times by the overspray of
an irrigator and never felt it was
an issue since its always been a
light mist. But for some reason,
if a person did, I would encour-
age them to report this roadway
safety issue as quickly as possi-
ble so the proper road authority
can address it in a timely man-
ner.
In the meantime, use some
common sense. Scan the road
and obey the speed limit. Search
aggressively ahead, to the sides
and behind you, to help avoid
potential hazards even before
they arise. How assertively you
search, and how much time and
space you create, can eliminate
or reduce some of the potential
issues. Focus on finding poten-
tial escape routes, and be pre-
pared to slow down or stop,
depending on the circumstance.

Heading
Grand juries have been in the
news lately and were the topic of
a good question segment on a
Twin Cities TV station. Governor
Rick Perry has been indicted in
Texas on a charge of coercion and
abuse of office. A grand jury in
Missouri is considering the indict-
ment of the police officer in-
volved in the death of Michael
Brown. So what is a grand jury?
When you have read in the
newspaper that someone has been
indicted for a felony crime, such
as first degree murder, by a grand
jury, you may have wondered
what is a grand jurys purpose and
who serves on a grand jury.
The primary purpose of the
grand jury is to review evidence
presented by the prosecuting at-
torney to determine whether
probable cause exists to charge a
person with a crime by indict-
ment. Under Minnesota law only
a grand jury may charge a person
with the crimes punishable by life
imprisonment, or misconduct of a
public official, by indictment.
The prosecutor may choose to
proceed to charge a person by in-
dictment through the grand jury
process for any felony, gross mis-
demeanor or misdemeanor crime.
The grand jury consists of 16-
23 citizens randomly called to
jury duty, same as with a petit
jury. Petit jurors hear civil and
criminal trials and determine the
facts by verdict. They may sit as
jurors in several trials over the
course of two weeks to four
months in general, varying by
size of the county. However,
grand jurors may serve up to 12
months and may be summoned to
convene whenever in the public
interest or when requested by the
county attorney.
The history of grand juries
goes back to 1166 in England.
Groups of 12 or four men would
consult the king on criminal or
civil matters in the city or village.
Theoretically, because they were
royal appointees, the jurors would
be impartial and not associated
with either party. These groups
were required to report all sus-
pects. People who were suspected
had to go through a trial by or-
deal, e.g., being dunked in water
or burnt at the stake. In the 14th
century, the 12-person panel was
replaced with a group of 24
knights who were picked by the
county sheriff. This group was
called the le grande inquest and
had the authority to begin a pros-
ecution. The 12-man group be-
came known as a petit jury and
had the duty of reaching a verdict.
American colonists brought
the tradition of the grand jury over
to the New World. However, in-
stead of being a part of the kings
accusatory arsenal, the grand jury
was used by the colonists to pro-
tect them from overreaching by
the king.
Over time, the grand jury also
took part in local government de-
cisions, including levying taxes
and appointing local officials, as
well as the modern role of screen-
ing criminal accusations. The
grand jury was enshrined in the
Fifth Amendment to the United
States Constitution, but the
United States Supreme Court has
decided that a grand jury is only
required for cases tried in federal
court and not in state court.
It was not until 1975 that the
United States Supreme Court
mandated that the jury pool in
state courts be a representative
cross-section of the local commu-
nity. Until that time, jurors could
be specially selected, a system
that often excluded minorities and
women.
When the grand jury convenes
to consider a criminal indictment,
the county attorney calls wit-
nesses to testify under oath before
the grand jury. Unlike a petit jury,
there is no judge presiding, the
hearing is not open to the public
and the person who may be
charged by indictment is not pres-
ent, nor is that persons attorney.
There is no voir dire questioning,
therefore none of the grand jurors
have been screened for bias or
other improper factors. (One of
the jurors in the Rick Perry case
has been criticized as an active
Democrat; Gov. Perry is a Repub-
lican)
If the grand jury finds proba-
ble cause for the charge, it may
issue an indictment. It can also
issue a no bill, that is, refuse to
indict the person for the crime.
An indictment remains secret
until it is read in open court in the
presence of the defendant. The
criminal procedure then follows
the normal course to petit jury
trial with different jurors.
Grand juries also have the
power to independently investi-
gate (a) conditions within jails
and prisons, and (b) willful and
corrupt misconduct in public of-
fice. They are bound by an oath of
secrecy during their deliberations.
The grand jury acts as a sword
in investigating crime and indict-
ing criminals, and as a shield
because of its secret deliberations
to protect the innocent from un-
fair publicity.
Remember: Its in your court!

Attorneys report
The CUP was granted by a 4-
0 vote with Councilmember Shar
Dircks absent.
In other business, the council:
Approved payment No. 4 of
$323,017.33 to LaTour Construc-
tion for work on the 2014 Street

quest covers work completed
through the end of July, and in-
cludes some estimated quantities
that still require contractor docu-
mentation to determine the final
quantity for final payment. With
this payment, the value of work
completed is roughly three-
fourths of the original bid
amount.
Heard from Mayor Lynn
Kissock that the Wright County
Transit joint powers board
(which includes the cities of
Maple Lake, Buffalo, Howard

Cokato, Delano and Annandale)
has made a preliminary plan with
the Trailblazer Transit company
to increase the number of buses
and routes over the next few
years and will be meeting again
in a couple of months. One thing
they want to do is really get the
word out that buses are going to
be more available, and to let peo-
ple know that there is transit in
Wright County, Kissock said.
Heard a reminder from
Wright County Sheriffs Deputy
Jason Sievert that citizens should
lock their vehicles and report any
suspicious activity, as a few cars
and trailers in the area have been
broken into recently.
Tentatively scheduled a joint
meeting with the Business Devel-
opment Committee, the Planning
Commission and Economic De-
velopment Director Joanne Foust

Aug. 25 Maple Lake
Fire Department Report
Department head duties to be defined
by John Holler
Correspondent
Several county department
heads often wear several hats as
part of their responsibilities, but
few have two very different as-
pects of their job, much less in
their job title. At the Aug. 19
meeting of the Wright County
Board, the commissioners dis-
cussed the process that would be
used to hire a new Veterans
Services/Nuclear director.
The position had included a
third job title civil defense
but that was eliminated from the
job description earlier in the
month when the personnel com-
mittee addressed it. But, the de-
bate came up as to which area the
ideal candidate should be most
experienced in dealing with
veterans issues or emergency
management. The nuclear por-
tion of the job deals with the nu-
clear power plant in Monticello
when it conducts exercises that
deal with potential emergency is-
sues that might arise and how
such emergencies would be han-
dled.
Commissioner Charlie Bor-
rell asked why so much empha-
sis was put on the veterans
service end of the job. All six of
the selected finalists were chosen
based on their experience in vet-
erans services, which Borrell
questioned.
Because its a dual job, how
much weight are we going to put
on the nuclear part of it, which
may require a different skill set
than the veteran services part?
Borrell asked. I think more em-
phasis was put on the veterans
services part of it and I dont to-
tally agree with that. I think hir-
ing someone with leadership
skills is very important, that the
emergency management skills
would be important.
Human Resources Director
Tammy Bigelow said that 39 ap-
plicants met the minimum job re-
quirements and the list was
narrowed down to six those
who had the most experience in
veterans services.
In the way of a compromise,
Commissioner Pat Sawatzke
suggested adding two more fi-
nalist candidates that were
strongest in emergency manage-
ment experience. Given the high
number of applicants, having
eight finalists would give the
county a wider range of skill sets
and personalities to choose from.
Board Chair Christine Husom
said her concern is that, as long
as the board is hiring a new di-
rector, the amount of time antic-
ipated to be spent on each aspect
of the job should be spelled out
and defined more clearly.
These are two very separate
things as far as their job goes,
Husom said. Not that one per-
son cant do both, but, to me,
emergency management is the
same as risk management. They
have many of the same compo-
nents. My concern is that we
need to be clear to the people
were interviewing how much
time will be spent on nuclear?
After further discussion, the
board decided to set criteria to
define the division of the job du-
ties before interviewing candi-
dates. The final problem was
coming up with a day when all
commissioners could meet with
candidates. Because the inter-
views were expected to last up to
one hour, finding multiple days
that worked for all commission-
ers wasnt easy. After a couple of
proposed dates were rejected, it
was decided to conduct all the in-
terviews on one day from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5.
In other business, the board:
Was introduced to new In-
formation Technology Director
Adam Tagarro, who replaces
longtime I.T. Director Bill
Swing. Tagarro spent the last
seven years in the same position
with Benton County.
Authorized Parks Adminis-
trator Marc Mattice to submit an
application to the State Parks and
Legacy Grant Program for Phase
9 of the Bertram Chain of Lakes
project. The grant request would
be for $1.4 million with 90 per-
cent of the cost coming from the
grant program and the other 10
percent ($140,000) being split
equally between the county and
the City of Monticello. Borrell
initially was going to vote
against the application because
he said he has requested that doc-
uments be drawn up specifically
outlining the duties and respon-
sibilities of both the county and
the city and has yet to see such
plans. He was informed that the
process is underway and, after
being told that, if the grant re-
quest was approved, the matter
would have to come back to the
county board for its approval.
Borrell said he would vote for
submitting the application, but if
there isnt a formal agreement in
place outlining the duties of the
county and city, he wont vote in
favor of authorizing the county
match for the grant.
Approved a lease agreement
with the Buffalo School District
for conducting the wRight
Choice program, an alternative
to out-of-school suspension that
gives students in grades 6-12
who have been suspended a
chance to keep up with their
school work while serving their
suspensions. The program is split
between academic work in the
mornings and alternating after-
noon presentations dealing with
probation, chemical health, chil-
drens mental health, public
health, truancy intervention and
community service. The contract
runs through June 15, 2015, and
calls for the county to be paid
$26,744 in two payments due
Sept. 15 and Jan. 15, 2015.
Authorized entering a joint-
powers agreement with the St.
Paul Port Authority to allow the
Property Assessed Clean Energy
Program, which provides financ-
ing for clean, more efficient en-
ergy practices for business,
ranging from large industries to
geothermal heating of farms.
Peter Klein of the Port Authority
said the PACE program has ex-
panded from its initial scope,
centering on those businesses
that were served by Xcel Energy.
In early August, the Minnesota
Department of Commerce was to
go statewide with the program.
Klein came to Wright County be-
cause a request has been made
by Buffie Chiropractic in Rock-
ford to install a 40-kilowatt solar
collection system to provide en-
ergy savings. County Coordina-
tor Lee Kelly said he spoke with
the officials from Sherburne
County, which has already been
involved in the program, and re-
ceived very positive reviews.
Vets Dean Hawkins, Dan Patton and Carl Larson welcomed
the public to the Maple Lake vet clinic Saturday.
The open house included horse-drawn wagon rides, draw-
ings, food and a visit from KLDC. About 200 people attended.

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 are the hottest and
coldest temperatures on record
for the Minnesota State Fair?
A: The hottest day in the
history of the Minnesota State
Fair was on Sept. 10, 1931,
with 104 degrees. The hottest
average temperature for the du-
ration of any State Fair back to
1885 is also 1931 with 92.6 de-
grees. Note that the Minnesota
State Fair in 1931 ran eight
days from September 5 to 12.
Last year was the third warmest
fair on record with an average
of 88.2 degrees, and it also had
the most 90-degree high tem-
peratures on record with six
days.
The coolest Minnesota State
Fair was during the six-day run
of the fair from Sept. 5 to 10,
1898, with an average maxi-
mum temperature of 64.2 de-
grees. The coldest maximum
temperature for the fair was 52
degrees on Sept. 7, 1911, and
the coldest minimum tempera-
ture is 33 degrees on Sept. 13,
1890. The coolest fair morning
in recent years was a chilly 36
degrees on Sept. 1, 1974.

Unfortunately, the pace of
classroom learning cant be tai-
lored to every students individ-
ual needs -- particularly these
days, as class sizes are growing
and funding for special enrich-
ment programs becomes limited.
In fact, at least 35 states pro-
vided less funding per student
for the 2013-14 school year than
they did before the recession.
Many children will need to
spend some time outside the
classroom going beyond their
regular homework to keep up or
get ahead in school. No matter
what your childs education
goals are, there are great ways
you can help make this school
year the best one yet:
Math practice: Square roots,
polynomials, quadrilaterals.
Learning these terms and con-
cepts can get dicey quickly.
Keeping up at home is impor-
tant, and sometimes requires
more than just doing the days
take-home assignment.
Consider supplementing
homework with online tools. For
example, Shmoop, an online
learning and test prep provider,
provides free study guides for
review and courses for remedial
work in many academic topics,
including social science, arts
and music, science and English.
Their math tutorials cover
everything from Pre-Algebra to
Calculus and the step by-step
explanations that the program
offers can be helpful to any stu-
dent looking for an extra edge.
Read the classics: Kids who
read for pleasure can improve
their grades. Not only will the
exposure to literary giants like
John Steinbeck, Mark Twain
and Harriet Beecher Stowe build
vocabulary and improve reading
comprehension, there is much to
be learned about history and cul-
ture from picking up a great
book, such as The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn.
Be sure to use tools that can
help clarify some of the denser
material. Online learning guides
can be a great place to get syn-
opses and analysis.
Use flashcards: It may sound
quaint, but there is really no sub-
stitute for quizzing yourself with
a flash card. Even the act of cre-
ating the flashcard can help re-
inforce concepts and facts.
Extra Help: A little extra ac-
ademic help after school can
sometimes mean the difference
between struggle and success.
But between school and soccer
practice, ballet lessons and get-
ting dinner on the table, adding
a tutor or after school class to
the list might be a logistical im-
possibility.
Consider online courses that
can be completed from the com-
fort of home and are common
core aligned. For example,
Shmoops offerings are diverse,
ranging from 7th grade math to
second semester 12th grade
British Literature. For those stu-
dents taking Advanced Place-
ment courses this fall, check out
their AP test prep courses. These
courses help students nail the
important, for-credit, year-end
exam. More information can be
found at www.Shmoop.com.
With a bit of extra effort and
the use of savvy learning tools,
kids can gain a competitive edge
this school year.

The Maple Lake Lakers
abruptly ended their season on
Friday night in Jordan against
the Sobieski Skis. The loss was
not the result the team, or the
busloads of Laker fans, were
looking for, given the Lakers
tremendous season.
Maple Lake Lakers 1
Sobieski Skis 3
Maple Lake ended their two-
week vacation when Jeremy
Schmidt went to work against an
aggressive Sobieski lineup. De-
spite some early hiccups,
Schmidt and the defense found
their rhythm and answered any
challenges from the Skis in the
early going.
The Maple Lake lineup took
a trip through the order before
they were able to score against
the Sobieski ace, Tyler Jendro,
putting up one run in the bottom
of the third off a hit by Todd
Fuller.
The game progressed quickly
as both pitchers gave up very
few hits. The scoring drought
ended in the top of the seventh
when Sobieski tied the game be-
fore scoring again in the eighth
and adding one in the ninth on a
combination of timely hits and
Laker errors.
The offense was not able to
make up the difference and
Maple Lake ended their tourna-
ment run at one game.
Schmidt threw seven and a
third strong innings, giving up
two runs (one earned) on three
hits and three walks while strik-
ing out five. Draftee Ben Hen-
drickson appeared in relief to
finish the game.
The defense struggled at
times and gave up five errors,
tying a season high mark set
against Buffalo in mid-June.

After the loss, the Maple
Lake Lakers Twitter account
read Not what we wanted or
where we thought wed end up
in 2014. Disappointing end after
one of the best regular seasons in
Laker history. Looking past the
end, the body of work the Lakers
put together this year was very
impressive.
Picked to win the North Star
League early in the year, Maple
Lake did just that, finishing 20-
2 and earning the tiebreaker over
Howard Lake by shutting them
out twice.
Maple Lake had the highest
batting average in the league at
.335 and the lowest ERA at 2.04.
Jeremy Schmidt posted the
lowest ERA in NSL play while
Mitch Wurm and Ben Jungers
finished third and seventh, re-
spectively.
The Lakers didnt take games
off outside of their league sched-
ule, defeating the B and C state
champions from 2013 early in
the year. Those wins added to a
21-game winning streak to start
the season.
The Lakers as a team had a
great year at the plate, with a
team batting average of .321
with 374 hits, 160 walks, and
168 strikeouts. Brian Redemske
led the team with a .376 average,
Chad Raiche and Dusty Decker
shared the home run crown with
two each, and Raiche knocked in
33 RBIs to lead the team. Team
batting stats:
AB R H RBI
1166 273 374 237
The Maple Lake pitching
staff was what really set them
apart this year. Schmidt got the
staff Triple Crown with 11
wins, 92 strikeouts and a 1.59
ERA. The staff ended 29-4 with
four saves, a 2.44 ERA, a WHIP
of 1.19, and 280.1 innings
pitched (not counting draftees).
They gave up 101 runs, 76
earned, on 242 hits and 91 walks
against 273 strikeouts. There
were 14 complete games
thrown, seven of them shutouts.
Great pitching means little
without defense and Maple Lake
played great defense all season.
Few stats are kept but fans will
certainly remember the diving
catches, double plays, and clutch
outs that were common when
the Lakers were in the field.
Finally, the team wouldnt be
what it is without the support of
the Maple Lake fans and com-
munity. The players really ap-
preciate the support of every
cheering fan and busy volunteer
and look forward to the contin-
ued support next year.

The last Maple Lake Library
preschool storytime of the sum-
mer celebrated everyones birth-
day.
A total of 21 children and 12
adults listened to Marie Maven-
camp read Eric Carles books
The Secret Birthday Message,
and Does a Kangaroo Have a
Mother, Too?
The children had fun figuring
out the clues in the story to help
the little boy find his birthday
present. They then had to help
him get back home.
Each child was given a piece
of black scratch art paper and a
magic stick to draw whatever
he/she wanted. Some drew the
shapes they found in the story,
while others made up their own
pictures. All were pleasantly sur-
prised at what they discovered
under the black on the paper.
Each child shared his or her
birthdate on a chart and then en-
joyed different songs and finger
plays about celebrating birth-
days. Everyone had a chance to
stand when their age was men-
tioned while the rest sang to
them. It was a fun way to end
their summer preschool story-
time at the library. After the
group picture, everyone enjoyed
a birthday cupcake.
Mavencamp would like to
thank all the parents, grandpar-
ents and daycare providers who
took the time each week to bring
their children to preschool story-
time at the library this summer.
Thanks also to the Maple Lake
Messenger for putting each sto-
rytime article and picture in the
paper every week. It has been a
very successful, fun-filled pro-
gram, thanks to all of you.
Everyone at the library hopes
you keep using our local library,
reading to your children and en-
joying all we have to offer.

Wright-Hennepin Cooperative
Electric Association (WH) re-
cently presented True Friends
Camp Courage, a WH commer-
cial member, with a $24,110 grant
to help with the installation of en-
ergy-efficiency equipment at its
facility near Maple Lake, Minn.
Energy grants are awarded to
businesses that install energy-effi-
cient equipment, reducing elec-
tricity consumption. As a
non-profit organization, True
Friends Camp Courage qualified
for these funds to assist with con-
servation. They used the funds to
help cover the costs of ground
source heat pumps that will be
used in two cabins. The new
ground source heat pumps are es-
timated to reduce electric use by
more than 44,800 kilowatt hours
annually.
We are extremely grateful to
WH for this grant. It will help re-
duce our electric consumption and
the savings can be used to provide
life-changing experiences to even
more children and adults with dis-
abilities, said True Friends CEO
Ed Stracke.
Each year, WH invests more
than $500,000 on residential and
commercial conservation pro-
grams per requirements of the
Minnesota Department of Com-
merce, including about $100,000
in energy efficient grants to com-
mercial customers.
This was an excellent oppor-
tunity to implement improved en-
ergy efficiencies while benefiting
a great charitable organization like
True Friends Camp Courage.
Helping customers is what we are
all about, said WH Key Account
Executive Lane Wilson.
WH is a member-owned non-
profit electric utility that provides
electric power to Wright County
and the western part of Hennepin
County. The cooperative has been
a corporate citizen in this area
since 1937 and currently serves
more than 46,000 electric ac-
counts. The utility started its secu-
rity division in 1989 that provides
local home security solutions as
well as monitors alarm systems
for almost 60,000 customers in 32
states and three Canadian
provinces.

Theresa Heimkes: I live in
Annandale with my husband,
Eric, and our sons, Justin and
David. Justin is a freshman at
Annandale High School and
David is a fifth grader at St. Tim-
othys.
I received my teaching degree
from St. Cloud State University
and started my teaching career at
St. Timothys in Maple Lake 21
years ago teaching fifth grade. I
have taught in Davenport, Iowa;
Mankato; St. Peter; St. Cloud;
and now back in Maple Lake.
I took a 10-year leave from
teaching full-time to raise our
children and I am very excited
that it is now time for me to be
back in the classroom.
Along with coming back into
the classroom I will also be a stu-
dent. I will be continuing my ed-
ucation with a certificate in
mathematics from St. Thomas.
I am looking forward to a
year filled with many great learn-
ing opportunities for my students
and myself. The great thing is
that we all can and will learn
from each other.
Heather Quinlan: I'm 31 years
old and grew up in southern Cal-
ifornia. My family is still there,
although my brother served with
NET Ministries, which is based
in West St. Paul, and wants to re-
turn to Minnesota.
I have a Bachelor's degree in
Environmental Science from the
University of California, River-
side, and a Master's degree in
Evangelization and Catechesis
(witnessing to and teaching the
Catholic faith) from the Augus-
tine Institute in Denver, Colo.
Between my two degree pro-
grams I spent a year in Rome,
Italy at a missionary formation
program called the Emmanuel
School of Mission and a year in
East Texas at The Pines Catholic
Camp, which allowed me to
blend my two passions: being
outside in nature and leading oth-
ers to Jesus.
After getting my Master's de-
gree, I worked at a Catholic
parish in south Minneapolis for
two years and then went to
Rwanda for a year with an NGO
called Fidesco. I taught at an all-
girls Catholic secondary school
and just returned to the States at
the end of July.
I have two positions at St.
Timothy's. I will teach middle
school religion at the school and
be the youth director at the
parish.
At the school, I am looking
forward to interacting with the
same students four days a week
and how that will allow me to re-
ally get to know them and hope-
fully influence their lives and
faith in a positive way.
At the parish, I am looking
forward to hanging out with the
youth and using mentorship/
friendship, service projects, trips,
and prayer events to help them
deepen their relationship with the
Lord.
One immediate personal goal
is to find permanent housing. I'm
temporarily living in Montrose,
but I'd like to live closer to
Maple Lake to avoid a snowy
commute and to be more acces-
sible to the community I serve.
Professionally, I would like to
have a successful first year of
teaching, maintain and even in-
crease the strength of the youth
group, and utilize my experience
to incorporate new events or
fundraisers into the youth group
calendar. My biggest goals,
though, are to do what God asks
of me and to lead others to
Christ.
Alyssa Sernett: I was born
and raised in St. Michael. I have
a strong Catholic background
and family is something that is
very important to me. I am the
daughter of Steve and Shelly
Barthel. I am the oldest and only
daughter of the family, followed
by three younger brothers.
I have an Associates of Arts
degree from North Hennepin
Community College and a Bach-
elors degree in elementary edu-
cation from Bemidji State
University with an endorsement
in social studies for the 5-8 grade
level.
I have lots to look forward to
this year. This will be my first
year teaching. I am excited to
start right along with my kinder-
garteners. I'm sure we will all
learn so much from each other.
Overall, my biggest goal is to
just make learning fun. There is
so much that is expected of stu-
dents these days. I find that we
tend to lose sight of the fact that
education should be something
kids look forward to, creative,
and exciting.
Dawn Kincs information will
be published in the Sept. 3 issue
of the Messenger.
St. Tims new staff
I look forward to meeting my
students, their families, and
members of the community. I
also look forward to beginning
this next chapter in my career in
the Maple Lake School District
with its incredible faculty and
supportive administration.
Beth Olson: I grew up in
Rochester and attended Min-
nesota State University Mankato
for both my BFA in drawing,
graphic design and art history
and my BS in art education.
I have been married to my
husband, Robert, for 24 years
and we have three children. We
have lived in several communi-
ties in Minnesota as well as in
Edmond, Okla. We currently
live in Winsted.
I am looking forward to shar-
ing the gift of creating art with
the students and staff at Maple
Lake. I strongly believe that art
is an awesome vehicle to learn
so many great subjects, is a great
tool to encourage problem solv-
ing and a wonderful outlet for
emotional and social growth.
My professional goals for
this year are to build on the past
successes of the art program and
offer more art opportunities to
the school community. Person-
ally, I am focused on being the
best me I can be every day.
Justin Roob: I grew up in
Sartell, a suburb of St. Cloud. I
went to college at Minnesota
State University Moorhead and
graduated with a degree in ele-
mentary education including a
math minor.
My family includes my mom,
Diane, who is a fourth-grade
teacher in Sartell; my dad,
Doug, who is the safety coordi-
nator at NAHAN Printing; my
brother, Jordan, who is a student
at North Dakota State Univer-
sity; and last, but not least, our
family dog Gizmo, who is a
Shih-Tzu.
I am looking forward to start-
ing my teaching career in such a
wonderful and welcoming
school. Ever since my first day
here, the staff has been so wel-
coming and friendly. If the staff
is so great, I cant wait to meet
the wonderful students. I am
also looking forward to gaining
more insight on how to become
the best teacher I can be.
One school-related goal that
I have for this year would be to
keep striving forward even if I
make a mistake and not let my
perfectionism get the best of me.
Being that its my first year as a
teacher, it may take a time or
two to figure out how this dis-
trict works so also be patient
with myself. Another school-re-
lated goal that I have is to build
a positive and welcoming envi-
ronment in my classroom as
soon as I can so that I can help
my students get to their greatest
potential. A third goal that I have
is to get involved the best I can
here at ML and to make this a
great first year of teaching.
Sue Schmitz: I grew up in the
St. Cloud area and graduated
from St. Cloud State University
with a degree in education and a
kindergarten endorsement.
I moved to California right
after college and taught first
grade in Bakersfield, Calif. After
two years I returned home and
went to work in Maple Lake. I
was lucky enough to teach sec-
ond grade and kindergarten at
Maple Lake Elementary.
After five years of teaching
in ML, I got married to my hus-
band, Steve, and started a fam-
ily. I stayed home for the last 10
years taking care of my two chil-
dren: Jack and Izzie.
I am excited to be teaching in
Maple Lake again. I have al-
ways considered Maple Lake
Elementary my home and I love
the staff and community here.
I want to create a positive
learning environment where all
of the children feel that they can
be successful and to become the
best teacher I can be.
