County attorney requests more security for staff

For those who are regular visitors to the Wright County Courthouse, theyve noticed a significant difference when they enter the building. After months of debate, largely at the behest of Commissioner Charlie Borrell, the metal detectors at the two main entrances to the courthouse have been removed and residents entering the courthouse no longer have to walk through them unless theyre in the courts area. But, at the Oct. 1 meeting of the Wright County Board, Borrell learned that he has won the metal detector battle, but the war rages on. Borrell said the level of opposition he has received from some county employees has surprised him, terming the process of getting the metal detectors moved by saying, it hasnt been trademark legislation. However, he has remained firm in his opposition to oversecuring the courthouse. I dont know what I expected in terms of opposition, but I got it, Borrell said. I havent received a single complaint from one citizen outside the courthouse. In fact, its been just the opposite. People have thanked me for standing up on this and getting the metal detectors moved. It was something I heard a lot of complaints about during my campaign for the commissioner in my district and Im still strongly against adding more security measures in the courthouse other than what the state requires we do. The opposition to the moving of the metal detectors was voiced at the Sept. 25 building committee, where County Attorney Tom Kelly read a statement expressing the concerns of his staff. While Borrell has focused on those who come to the courthouse to get drivers license, vehicle tabs or land documents from the county, his office deals with people who occasionally have an axe to grind. By the nature of the office,

Raise the wage?

What started as a Twitter exchange turned into a standingroom-only crowd for a debate at Maple Lake Bowl on Monday evening. Should the minimum wage be raised? Former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch and Rep. Ryan Winkler tackled the issue with moderators Cyndy Brucato, of MinnPost, and John Williams, of WCCO Radio. Given home-court advantage, Koch yielded the floor to Winkler. This is a discussion about what kind of communities we want to live in and what kind of economy we want to have in Minnesota, Winkler said. He contended that many fulltime workers are forced to turn to state aid or charities for help to raise a family. About 40 percent of jobs in

Minnesota dont pay enough to support a family, Winkler said. The DFLer from Golden Valley authored legislation to raise the states minimum wage from $6.15 to $9.50 per hour. Koch began by saying she agreed with Winkler. Both of us want to see more money in peoples paychecks, she said. She suggested that recent legislation is negatively impacting consumer confidence and the economy overall. The DFL legislature just raised taxes $2.3 billion, with a great deal of that placed on Minnesota businesses, Koch said. We are just now starting to implement the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. This is going to create more burden for businesses. Rather than adding more regulations, Koch believes, We need job creators to be confident that Minnesota is a place to expand,
grow and hire workers. That competition for employees is going to drive wages. Brucato ran with Kochs claim, asking Winkler to respond to the notion that raising the minimum wage would cause businesses to stop hiring, cut hours and positions and potentially go out of business. Winkler refuted that claim, saying two of the fastest growing states Oregon and Washington have a minimum wage of about $9. Minnesota is a state with relatively high tax and high public services, Winkler said. We give people incentive to work. A minimum wage of $9.50 would not make us an island. Those states that have a higher minimum wage have been the fastest growing already. continued on page 12

Council Maple Lake Elementary repeats as Reward School learns about Maple Lake Recovery
Maple Lake Recovery Center Human Resources Manager Andrea Suker addressed the Maple Lake City Council Tuesday, Oct. 1, just to introduce us to those of you who arent aware were in the community, and to remind everybody else that we are still here. The centers mission is to help chemically dependent adolescents accept addiction issues and learn how to live chemical-free. It runs an outpatient treatment facility and a 16-bed boys house in Maple Lake, as well as a females facility in Monticello. We offer a family day program, and also family counseling, to help repair relationships there, Suker said. Our clients go to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings every evening. We have them work the 12 steps and get a sponsor. We also have a rather structured daily schedule, and along with that we teach responsibility and accountability between doing daily chores, doing their own laundry, things like that. But the most important thing that we focus on is helping the adolescents find out who they are and who they really want to be. continued on page 3

Measurement Rating of 87.88 percent, MLE raised the bar even higher. The schools MMR has risen to 95.37 percent, which puts the school in the top 4 percent of Title I schools. It means all our efforts and collaboration with each other and our families is being recognized, Principal Kris Harlan said. She believes a couple different
factors have contributed to the schools success. We became a Q Comp school three years ago, Harlan said. The professional learning community has been built in for staff to collaborate and share. I really think that proactive dialogue and being able to share what works has been beneficial. We also have co-teaching teams, Harlan continued. Since
we started that three years ago, its been a really good thing for our kids. She also thanked the school board for commitment to small class sizes and went on to recognize the dedication of her staff. They really dig into the data, see where their weaknesses are and work on them, Harlan said. continued on page 8

After reading Glen Schmitts story about fall panfish fishing in the Oct. 4 issue of the Outdoor News, Im tempted to try to work a few more angling efforts into my fall agenda of outdoors fun. He made it sound quite simple, find a lake that produces plate-sized bluegills, look for the greenest weeds you can find, usually in about 12 feet of water next to deeper water. Then tip a jig with live bait or plastic and enjoy yourself. He also noted bluegills are less prone to spook like other species of fish and you can drop the anchor and fish vertically for them. Large rocks next to a deep hole is another hint he had for fall bluegill anglers. In the same issue Gary Clancy recounted a grouse hunt with his son-in-law, Lee, when they pounded the brush for a total of 59 hours, had 84 flushes, shot at 39 of the birds flushed and harvested 15. He commented about how well their two dogs worked and he figured he and Lee were shooting pretty well considering the thick underbrush gave the woods a jungle-like condition. He was pleased with the number of flushes they had and urged grouse hunters to head north, if not for hunting, he said the scenery alone is worth the trip. They also enjoyed a fish fry from the sunfish and crappies they caught off the dock. He wrote his story back on Sept. 29th when the fall colors were beginning to show themselves. Grouse hunting may be a better option than pheasant hunting this fall which begins on Oct. 12th. The cackles are few and far between in this neck of the woods and Im not hearing about people seeing very many coveys of pheasants. The reports from neighboring states are also pretty dismal and will have an effect on the economy hunters generate for cafes, motels, etc. in states like South and North Dakota. The game and fish departments from those states seem to tell it like it is and the pictures they have painted for us nonresident hunters arent pretty. . .

Management Areas in an effort to determine if grazing is helpful or detrimental to wildlife. Ive walked in enough cow bumps while hunting pheasant and consequently Im skeptical about allowing grazing in low areas and next to swamps. It sounds like it will take about three years to come to any grazing conclusions. My gut thought is it isnt going to work. My experience with cattle has been the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and it will be a difficult one to control. I hope Im wrong and these efforts will improve pheasant habitat which, along with weather, are the two necessary ingredients for maintaining a decent bird population. * * * Duck and geese hunters are coming back with mixed reports of this falls season with Mike Muller, who hunts ducks, geese and ruffed grouse in Manitoba, Canada each year. He didnt feel this years hunt so far has measured up to previous years. He figures the lack of grain stubble fields and the food they provide has hurt the early duck migration flocks from stopping. Apparently it was too wet for farmers to seed small grains last spring which has created this dilemma for hunters. Goose hunting was good, but off from a year ago for the same reason. As for the ruffed grouse, Muller said he didnt shoot at any and his son, Kenneth, harvested only three. Neither one of them was beating any brush for grouse, but normally that isnt necessary as they usually show up on the forest trails in the late afternoon. Their host, Jim Baker, figured the grouse might still be back in the woods and didnt need to come to the trails yet. Daryl Hennen, who hunted ducks and geese in North Dakota, gave me kind of a tongue-in-cheek comment that it sure takes a lot of time to skin geese and ducks when the shooting is good. He said he had plenty of shells, but that wasnt the case with his son, Adam, who enjoyed a great morning of duck and goose hunting with a cousin, Noah Froehling, and a couple of his friends. Their numbers that morning were in the forty something. Daryl and his third son, Tony, were hunting with Eric Froehling (Noahs dad). He commented they would have done better that morning, too, had his marksman. . ship been better . * * * Topics by Norm A.

Its in your court: Please dont write the judge

Frequently judges receive letters from the public supporting someone involved in a court case, or criticizing them at length. For example, a concerned friend or family member of a criminal defendant may write the judge saying, in essence, Mr. X has turned his life around and has learned from his mistakes, so please dont send him to jail. Ethically a judge cannot consider such a communication in making a decision in a case. This type of letter is called an ex parte communication, ex parte meaning, in Latin, by, or on behalf of one party only. The ethical rules of judicial conduct prohibit the judge from reading and considering such a communication. It is a matter of basic due process and fairness. Communications to the judge generally must follow the rules as to written form and timeliness, be in sworn affidavit form, be filed only by a party or their attorney, and a copy properly served on their opponent or attorney. Sometimes lawyers attach unsworn letters from family or friends to their clients affidavit in family court. This violates the rules of court and those letters must be disregarded. As I have previously discussed in this space, despite the fact that judges in Minnesota are elected officials, they cannot be lobbied like city councilmembers, township officials, legislators or the governor. Judges may only consider evidence which is submitted to them in com-

To the Editor: Albion Township has been lowering the level of Little Rock Lake illegally over the past 15 years and in September 2013 lowered it another 16 inches. Beginning in 1997, the township applied to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to relocate the one culvert on Greer Ave. NW, Maple Lake. There are two culverts, one from Little Rock that drains onto our property and then runs through our property into the second culvert that drains into Big Rock Lake. The culvert that drains into Big Rock is the one the township had applied for a permit to relocate farther west of where it originally was. After the permit was approved, the township slipped in the lowering of the culvert on Little Rock also changing it from a 10-inch culvert to an 18inch culvert without a permit to do so. This has caused the level of Little Rock to drop massively and drain surrounding wet lands. Once a beautiful and peaceful water body, Little Rock today is nothing more than a large puddle with cattails and weeds replacing clear water. We have tried to work with the township to restore the lake to its original level before the new culvert was replaced in 1998 to lower the lake to no avail.
In June 2013 the DNR told the township board chairman, John Uecker, the township must submit an after the fact application for a permit to lower the Little Rock culvert, but as of the September 2013 township meeting, there has been no discussion or submission of a permit. The DNR hydrologist told us to collect petitions to restore Little Rock to its original level before the lowering of the culvert in 1998, from landowners on the lake and people who are otherwise directly affected. We presented the petitions to the board at the September 2013 meeting. Mr. Uecker refused to accept the petitions, stating there was not enough of the signers present, even though the petitions were signed by all the landowners on the lake and notarized. Five landowners were in attendance. Finally two supervisors, Bob Neuman and Dwight Hammer, agreed to accept the petitions. Mr. Uecker still refused to accept them. As board members of a township they surely should be following the laws and getting the proper permits for the work that is being done in our township. As a landowner on Little Rock Lake, I would like to see some action taken. Concerned landowner, Deb Schmidt

Ask a Trooper:
pliance with the rules of court. This can be frustrating to members of the public who find themselves in a court hearing without a lawyer. They may attempt to offer as evidence written statements from friends, family, other witnesses, or even an expert witness (such as a mechanic) only to have the judge exclude such evidence. Generally such witnesses must appear in-person in open court, offer sworn testimony, and be subject to cross-examination by the opponent or their attorney if they have one. These rules also apply in conciliation (small claims) court. People not involved in a case also cannot communicate to the judge inside the courtroom unless called as a witness by one of the parties or their attorney. Occasionally someone in the audience will stand up during a hearing and want to be heard. They cannot speak in court on the record unless the parties agree and their testimony must be under oath. Our Constitution, rules and laws require that communications to the court comply with the rules of court so that everyone involved is assured of equal justice and fairness.

Turning left into a private driveway

Question: When a person is making a left turn into a private driveway, there is oncoming traffic and a string of cars behind you, what is the proper procedure: wait in the driving lane until the turn can be safely executed, or pull over to the shoulder and let the cars behind you pass? Is it legal to wait on the shoulder? And is it legal for people to pass you on the right? Thanks! Answer: The proper procedure is a little more drawn out than what you might expect. If you know you are going to make a left turn, signal well in advance. Then, start braking (ahead of time and after you have been signaling, so the drivers behind you can see your signal better and start slowing down, which will make the whole left turn situation a lot safer for everyone). Then, when you arrive at your left turn destination and you have to wait for oncoming traffic, stay in the traffic lane and keep your front wheels pointed straight (so if you are hit from behind you will not get pushed into oncoming traffic) and just remain there with your left signal on until the oncoming traffic clears. Never mind the other vehicles

Perceptions, Leadership, Nuisances John Haack Letter to the Messenger Editor & Maple Lake City Council: I have been following the tree controversy in Maple Lake with interest. Mayor Kissock at her discretion (while showing leadership), determined a tree in town was ugly and had it removed. Former mayor OLoughlin thinks she abused her power and should resign. This brings back some bitter memories for me. Years ago, Mayor Messina and councilman OLoughlin stood in judgment on the street in front of my property and told demo expert Ward Carlson what they perceived as nuisances, resulting in my loss of many treasures (perceived nuisances), including my great grandmothers outside gypsy furniture, World War II tank ramps, etc. etc. No record was kept. Most items were lost forever, even though I took the city to court and received minimal damages. The city, with their self-serving nuisance ordinance, ultimately put charges amounting to over $1,500 per hour for Mr. Carlson, on my taxes, arguing there were other charges they needed to be compensated for, after I stopped paying the steep 10 year assessment 7 years later. The remaining amount remains disputed. So, my point: People get elected to office. They gain a sense of power over others where they think they can do no wrong and occasionally create ordinances, guaranteeing they can do no wrong. Our current Maple Lake City ordinance relating to nuisances says the council can determine anything to be a nuisance, whenever they wish, and finding such, run up any size bill they can either pass
along to the taxpayers or strap on to a defendants property taxes. Above that, they can enforce what they decree and cause people to be fined and thrown in jail. Mayor Kissock pointed out this happened to me, in her letter to the Messenger during the recent campaign. Now she apparently feels she can exceed her mandate and exercise leadership by passing judgment on those issues she perceives to be nuisances and act on her own, than apologize after the damage is done. Cliff Hudeks ugly tree is gone. My great grandmothers gypsy furniture is gone. But fear not. Such travesties of judgment will continue in Maple Lake given that we have one of the most ridiculous nuisance ordinances on the books and we have those in power who will abuse that power (leadership??), not afraid to take matters into their own hands, even if they fear they may have no support for what they do. Even President Obama consulted with congress before deciding if he should launch air strikes in Syria. Mayor Kissock apparently consulted with no one. Mayor Messina consulted with his council and they allowed him and a councilman to subjectively determine what nuisances were on my property. The major issue had been that I had too many cars but they were gone by the time the council acted. So what happened next? Perceived nuisances beyond a limited court list were identified for Mr. Carlson to remove (some while I was at work), ending up costing the City money and me even more, along with leaving very bitter memories. continued on page 4
behind you, because you have no control over them other than signaling and braking (communicating your intentions). Even though there may be a nice shoulder on the right for you in some areas to pull over and wait on, we do not recommend pulling over there and waiting to make your left turn. Following the information I gave you already here is very good. As far as passing on the right, it is only legal to pass on the right when there is a lane provided, like a bypass lane (and then only if the vehicle you are passing is stopped or stopping to make a left turn) or if you are on a multi-laned road. Thanks for asking, because this is a very important safety issue, and we all need to work together to create a traffic safety culture in Minnesota. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Trp.

Its one thing to come the Government Center to renew your drivers license or to ask for a CUP (Conditional Use Permit) application or you need to record something. Its another thing when you are coming to the Government Center because were prosecuting you for domestic assault, felony assaults, criminal sexual conduct, robbery, kidnappings, terroristic

in agriculture to those that deal with other important programs that deal more with things like public speaking, citizenship and public service, Neaton said. The numbers in some areas have dropped because their populations have remained the same. Wright County remains a growing county and, with that, weve seen our numbers continue to rise. Five years ago, there were about 500 Wright County students enrolled in 4-H. Today, there are more than 600 with more than 150 adult volunteers. There are about 71,000 4-Hers in Minnesota and the board recognized their contributions. The commissioners voted unanimously to honor 4-H members and adult volunteers with the week of recognition. Were excited about the future, Neaton said. As a society, we may be moving away from an agricultural background, but we honor those who do and offer programs that are of interest to kids who dont live on farms. We have more members in our program from the cities in Wright County than in the townships. 4-H is changing with the times. For more information on
Wright County 4-H, go to its website (www.extension.umn.edu/ county/wright). In other business, the board: * Directed Human Resources Director Tamara Bigelow to draft policy language for specific revisions to the countys flex-time regulations. The personnel committee of the whole had a long discussion concerning the reasons behind employees looking for flexibility in 40-hour work schedules and intends to have language that reflects the intent of allowing flexible work hours during employee schedules while maintaining the policies of standard eight-hour work days. * Authorized board attendance at the Association of Minnesota Counties Annual Conference Dec. 9-11 in Minneapolis. * Approved a letter of support for the expansion of the I-94 corridor through Wright County to be part of the Minnesota Department of Transportations Corridors of Commerce program. The segment of I-94 from Rogers to St. Cloud has been identified as the most congested span of interstate highway in Minnesota. While it represents just 1.6 percent of MnDOTs
ICS (Interregional Corridor System), it also represents 40 percent of the congestion on the statewide system. The hope is to extend three lanes of traffic beyond the Rogers exit, where traffic heading west bottlenecks from three lanes to two and, during peak traffic hours, is routinely stop-and-go. * Approved offering the position of Wright County Ag Inspector to Eric Heuring of Monticello Township. Earlier this year, the county was a bit embarrassed to find out that the former agricultural inspector had died months before anyone in the county had been made aware. The county intends to offer Heuring the same contract under which Ken Johnson, the previous ag inspector, was paid. * Approved paying for a oneyear subscription to Capital Report, the St. Paul Legal Ledger that updates subscribers to the latest happenings at the State Capitol. Commissioner Mike Potter said the paper is a valuable tool to access information on decisions made at the state level and provides commissioners with the upto-date progress of bills and issues that may be of interest to Wright County.

The organization has been serving Maple Lake for 16 years. The center treats about 127 teens annually and is available to make drug use assessments for any age. I just want to remind everyone that we are your addiction and alcohol and drug resource in the Maple Lake area, Suker said. So feel free to contact us at any time. The centers phone number is 651-338-3317. In other business, the council: Received a feasibility report and ordered a Nov. 19 public hearing for the 2014 Street Improvement Project. The project area includes Linden and Park Avenues as well as areas of Division Street. Proposed work includes street improvements, water main replacement and sewer repairs. Work on Division also includes replacement of the water main and a failed sanitary sewer, as well as minor curb and sidewalk repairs, in anticipation of a 2015 county paving project. The total estimated project cost is $1,498,000. The total amount to be assessed to non-city owned property is about $456,480. For this project, the street assessment rate has been estimated by taking 35 percent of the street and storm sewer cost as well as 50 percent of the sidewalk cost and dividing the sum by the total assessable footage. Lateral sanitary sewer and lateral water main costs have been calculated similarly.

threats or felony drug cases. You might not want to believe this, but those people being charged arent the happiest of campers. At question at the building committee meeting was to look at options for providing increased security on the fourth floor, where the county attorney and court services departments are housed. Among the requests being made are to install security lockers for clients belongings, installing bulletproof glass at public entrances to the offices and installing panic buttons to alert the sheriffs department and/or Buffalo Police Department in the case of an emergency. Kelly said the threats his staff have received are real and legitimate and that taking the metal detectors away from the courthouse
entrances has greatly reduced the sense of security that employees in his department and court services used to enjoy. Whether you agree with me or not, you cant separate my office from the criminal process, Kelly said. I and other attorneys in my office have been subjected to threat. We have changed prosecutors in some circumstances to diffuse the situation. The recommendation of the building committee was to seek price quotes on the costs surrounding potentially installing secure lockers, bulletproof glass and panic buttons. While Borrell doesnt have problems with the lockers or panic buttons, he said he will continue to fight against adding bullet-proof glass and creating a police state in the courthouse.
I told (Court Services Director) Mike MacMillan that I would take away the Plexiglas they have there now, Borrell said. I just dont think we need to overreact to a potential attack that likely will never come. The rest of the board may well determine that we need some of these security measures and Ill go along with that if that is what they decide. But I think this is a personal freedom issue. Im glad we got the metal detectors moved and dont think we need to provide piecemeal security for one or two departments. It will open up a can or worms that will be both costly and unnecessary. Mark my words: If we approve this, it wont be long until other departments start making similar requests. Where will it stop if we open that can of worms?

Maple Lake Fire Department Report
Heard from Councilmember John Northenscold that the Planning Commissio toured several possible industrial sites and rated the top four. A map of those areas will be available at the next Planning Commission meeting, Oct. 8. The Planning Commission will schedule an open house and invite any property owners whose land use would change under proposed amendments. Directed staff to forward a memo to the Chamber of Commerce regarding a city-owned lot on Division and Birch and to add the topic to the Planning Commissions next meeting agenda. The council had asked Economic Development Director Paul Bilotta to definitively outline what the city can do with the lot, as the land, once intended as the site of a future city hall, was purchased in part with state funds. Bilotta wrote in a memo that, from the perspective of Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, the purpose of the grant was to provide economic development, providing jobs and/or housing, and that while there is some flexibility to consider a new concept, it must still focused on private sector jobs. One viable option is to consider working with DEED on approval of an interim use such as a farmers market or public gardens. Approved the expenditure of $12,881 for City Hall improvements including an outdoor shed, tient transported by Allina Ambulance. Oct. 6, 3:35 p.m.: Medical. Patient transported by Maple Lake Ambulance to the Buffalo Hospital ER. Oct. 6, 10:38 p.m.: Medical. Patient transported by Maple Lake Ambulance to the Buffalo Hospital ER. There were no fire emergency pages during the same time period.
new carpeting and blinds, and painting. The council also approved spending $225 for staff shirts and vests and the hiring of a full-time maintenance department employee at $13.60 per hour. Authorized the mayor and clerk to sign a letter consenting to City Clerk Rhonda Pagels representation of the Maple Lake Firemens Relief Association in reviewing their bylaws. Approved a bituminous overlay of First Street between Oak and Birch Avenues. Work in the area east of Oak is will include patching focused on the intersection of first and Ash. West of Oak, a drainage pipe along the northern edge of the street will be extended to provide a connection point for sump pumps. Street repair on this segment had been proposed to include patching, but City Engineer Phil Gravel told the council MidMinnesota Hot Mix has suggested this block would be better off with a complete overlay, which would cost about $2,500 less than patching. The citys plan is to rebuild the road in three or four years. Approved a payment of
$41,393.60 to Allied Blacktop for the completed 2013 Seal Coat and Crack Seal Project. Due to the amount of filling being higher than estimated, the final project amount exceeded the $38,064 bid amount. Approved a letter proposing changes to Wright Countys costsharing policy for county highway construction projects. As the city does not receive direct Municipal State Aid for streets, the letter suggests that the county cover full costs for sidewalk and bikeway installation and replacement costs for curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway and bikeways. It also suggested that funding for traffic signals in municipalities of fewer than 5,000 residents be funded at the same level as townships. Directed Maintenance Supervisor Jerry Sawatzke to determine how many trees are needed to finish Irish Stadiums landscape before approving a maximum moving expenditure for the installation of some citizen-donated pines. The next city council meeting will be 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Maybe the time is now, to recodify ordinances at a faster pace and with a more critical eye. Do we need ordinances giving those in power the opportunity to abuse their power? Do we need people in power who act on their own? Do we need an ordinance that requires an enclosed structure to house cars for resale in Maple Lake?

Special youth deer season Obituary

Youth ages 10-15 are eligible to participate in a special deer season that runs from Thursday, Oct. 17, to Sunday, Oct. 20, in 28 permit areas that encompass portions of southeastern and northwestern Minnesota. This youth-only season provides an opportunity for parents, guardians and mentors to schedule and plan a special deer hunt with youth, said Mike Kurre, mentoring program coordinator for the DNR. Deer permit areas open to the hunt are 101,105, 111, 114, 201, 203, 208, 209, 256, 257, 260, 263, 264, 267, 268, 338, 339, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 601 and 602. Whitewater Game Refuge also is open to taking either sex deer by eligible youth. Youth must meet all firearms safety requirement, possess a license and use the appropriate firearm for the permit area in which they are hunting. They may take a deer of either sex. Licenses for youth ages 10, 11 and 12 are free. Licenses for youth ages 13-17 cost $5. All youths must pay a $1 issuing fee when obtaining a license. An adult mentor must accompany the youth, but may not hunt or carry a firearm. The special season should occur when students are on school break. Public land is open as is private land, provided the youth hunter has landowner permission. Participating in youth deer season does not preclude the youth from participating in the regular firearms deer season, but any deer harvested do count against the youths season bag limit.

Maple Lake Library hosts fifth annual fall fundraiser
Friends of the Maple Lake Library hosted the fifth annual fundraiser on Saturday at the Maple Lake American Legion Club, featuring a meal, live and silent auctions and live music by former Maple Lake Band Director Joe Thomas (top, left). (Top right) Library Fundraising Chair Terry Mooney reads a letter from the American Legion regarding a $2,000 donation to the library. Pictured from left to right are Judy Martin, Connie Peterson, Jan Bakeberg, Cathy Jude, Chris Dombrovski, Lorie Hegle, Della Ness and Vicki Decker. (Above, left) Bruce Bakeberg and Phil Mooney display a handmade rocking chair made by Doug Andrus. (Above, right) Noah Elsenpeter looks for bids as his dad, Paul Elsenpeter, presides over the live auction. Fundraising numbers were not available as of press time. (Photos by Gabe Licht)
She acknowledged that improving on already strong numbers is difficult at times. Its tough sometimes when the numbers are already high and the kids are getting tougher, so (this recognition) is a real accolade to staff, Harlan said. We are seeing more kids come to kindergarten with fewer readiness skills. We have to work really hard at that, but weve made early intervention a priority. For that reason, Title I funding is focused entirely on kindergarten through second grade.
Reward school
Harlan believes further growth is possible, thanks in part to another new program. We have a new reading program this year, Harlan said. From first glance, its a really good thing. It provides even more support for teachers to offer more. With that in mind, the goal remains simple: The goal will still be to increase scores. As for Maple Lake High School, its MMR score was 69.04 percent, down from 77.78 percent a year ago. MLHS does not re-
ceive Title I funding. If it did, it would be Celebration Eligible because the cutoff for Reward Schools at the high school level is 69.87 percent. MMR scores took the place of Adequate Yearly Progress. MMR uses a larger set of data and is based on accountability, recognition and support. Schools are measured on proficiency, growth, achievement gap reduction and graduation rates. The goal is to support schools that are not scoring well and to recognize schools that are.
Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius said she was proud of the states Reward and Celebration Eligible schools, as well as the schools on the other end of the spectrum that are making progress. I want to congratulate this years Reward and Celebration Eligible schools for their exceptional efforts, and especially commend the Priority and Focus schools for making such tremendous progress over the past two years, Cassellius said.
New teachers settling into St. Timothys School

Its been a little more than a month since Kara Kraemer and Richard Adams joined the teaching staff at St. Timothys School. Theyve been settling into their new roles as music teacher and math and science teacher for sixth through eighth grade, respectively. Kraemer is from Avon. She studied piano and music education at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, LA. Music has been an important part of her life since her early years. I am grateful to my parents for providing piano lessons for me to learn music at an early age, Kraemer said. My favorite songs to play as a child were Christmas piano duets with my mom and my sister. She is glad to be teaching in Maple Lake. I am excited to be here at St. Timothy's, where Christ is at the center of all we do and learn, Kraemer said. Everyone has been so warm and welcoming. I am excited to be part of this community and to share God's gift of music with our students. Adams has been in education for more than 30 years and wanted to move to the area for family reasons. I am a Kansas guy who came

Irish runners put up personal record times

For being one of the first cold meets of the year, the Irish cross country team competed above and beyond in the Litchfield Invitational held at the Litchfield golf course on Thursday, Oct. 3. Many runners made new personal records and, in addition, the team was able to bring along several elementary kids to compete in a race of their own and get a taste of what running cross country is really like. Racing for the Irish varsity, seven anxious guys stepped up to the line alongside 12 other teams. Feeling the crisp air brush against their faces, they went out strong feeling good, ready to PR and end their night on a positive note. Up against some good competition, the boys ran their own races knowing what they needed to achieve.

the team finished with a solid fourth place and a team score of 111. Coming into the girls varsity race, the Irish girls knew their strategy and went out with confidence for their race. Knowing they were running up against 11 other teams, they packed together and moved up every step. Leading for the Irish, Halle Geyen took off with a solid start, picking off runners one by one to stay out front. Geyen finished her race in 15:44 nearing a PR and placing sixth overall.

Cardinals serves cause problems for Irish in loss

Joining the Annandale Cardinals in a pink-out, the Irish traveled close by to play a tough game on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The Cardinals had a strong lead to start game one. They had serves that were tough to pass, which was a struggle for the Irish. Maple Lake played very well as a team and worked hard for every point they scored. Their effort after every ball kept them in the game but an early run by the Cardinals made it hard to come back and the Irish lost 2522. Maple Lake made many great hustle plays for the ball but strugby Jesse Wohlrabe Correspondent

gling to pass the serve and not capitalizing on scoring opportunities allowed the Cardinals to get another early led and resulted in the Irish losing 12 to 25 in game two. "The team played really well together but passing the Annandale serve was tough and we struggled to set up plays and couldn't play the ball back as aggressively as we needed to," senior Kelsie Kelm said. Communication was a key factor in winning games three and four. When the Irish communicated well, they were able to clean up their passing, which helped them set up more plays. When they could set up plays, they fought
back with aggressive attacks at the net. This forced Annandale to make plays and really work to gain points. The Irish played hard and won back momentum, winning 2522 and 25-15. Game five started with an early run from Annandale. The Irish seemed unprepared and again had trouble passing the Cardinals serves. Continuing to play with great effort, the Irish made some great plays but came up short losing 15-7. Though they lost the match, the team plans to learn from mistakes and keep improving in their season.

Mistakes hamper Irish in overtime loss to BBE

Maple Lake Messenger Page 10 October 9, 2013 Rough starts have been a theme on the gridiron for the Maple Lake Irish. That was true once again in their 20-19, overtime loss against the BelgradeBrooten-Elrosa Jaguars. Originally scheduled for Friday, the game was rescheduled for Saturday afternoon at St. Cloud State University, due to concerns about the condition of the home field. Even with dry turf to start the game, the Irish couldnt get the traction they wanted. We moved the ball alright on our first possession, but a bad snap on a punt gave them a short field and their first score, coach Tim Knudsen said of the snafu that put the Jaguars on the 23by Gabe Licht Editor

yard line and ultimately helped them go up 7-0. The Irish started their second possession near midfield, thanks to a 30-yard return by Dusty Strub, but were unable to capitalize on the good field position. BBE also struggled offensively on their next possession, but their defense put them back on the field just seconds later with an interception of Tony Goelz. A failed field goal kept the score at 7-0. In the second quarter, the BBE defense struck again, returning Goelzs second interception to the five-yard line, which set up another score to increase the lead to 13-0. We threw back-to-back interceptions, which hurt because the defense had to go back out

there on little rest, Knudsen said. But they did a good job and only allowed one touchdown. Fielding the kickoff on the nine-yard line, Strub took off and didnt stop until he reached pay dirt 91 yards later. Charlie Stejskals extra-point attempt was blocked, leaving the score at 136. Strub breaking that 91-yard touchdown was awesome and it shifted the momentum back our way, Knudsen said. His defense tried to create more momentum, as Dominic Kaley forced a fumble and Devin Lowers recovered it. The offense set up a field goal on the 30-yard line, but Stejskal was unable to convert it. In the third quarter, Nick Gapinski forced a fumble and Cal Redemske recovered it. Facing a long field, the Irish were unable to score. Both teams struggled offensively until the 6:21 mark of the fourth quarter when Redemske pushed the pile into the end zone and Stejskal tied the game. BBE pulled out all the stops to try to take the lead and earned a first down on a fake punt before ultimately turning the ball over on downs on Maple Lakes 22-yard line. The Irish moved the ball through the air and on the ground to set up a 22-yard field goal attempt by Stejskal with two seconds remaining. His first attempt was wide left, but he was given another try, as BBE had called timeout. Stejskals second attempt was also unsuccessful. The snap wasnt perfect, Knudsen said. It was a floater and high so it threw him off. They had a 67 and 65 kid jumping up to block it. Someone got a hand on it. In overtime, Maple Lake got their hands on the ball first after losing the coin toss.
Irish girls stay perfect in conference

A crowd of excited fans showed up to watch the Irish continue their winning season as Maple Lake played the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Jaguars on Thursday, Oct. 3. Going into the game, Maple Lakes record in the conference was 4-0. One of the teams goals this season was to win the conference title and winning the game on Thursday would only make them closer to achieving that goal. They came out on the court ready to play hard and work for a win. Game one the Irish played well fundamentally but lacked the intensity needed to consistently score. Though they lost the first set 25-16, Maple Lake made some great plays towards the end making great gains and putting momentum on their side to start game two. The Irish communication was strong in game two. Being able to talk about what the Jaguars were doing made them very strong defensively and allowed Maple Lake to be ready and prepared to make great digs. The Irish gained a win with a score of 25-23 in game two. Continuing the momentum, Maple Lake won game three

Strub took a Goelz pass 10 yards for the score on the first snap. A two-point conversion pass play was unsuccessful, but Knudsen stood by the call. The snaps werent there so I wasnt comfortable putting it in Charlies hands at that time, Knudsen said. We wanted to put it in the offenses hands. We called the right play and had someone open, but it took too long to throw it and they were able to get over there and bat it down. There was lot of excitement and Im sure a lot of nerves were coming out, Knudsen continued. It was raining pretty hard. That all had a lot to do with it. BBE took three plays to tie the score and hit the PAT to seal their victory. Facing No. 2 on Friday and 3A Pierz the following Wednesday, Knudsen said his team needs to play mistake-free football. We need to control the tempo and have the running game going, Knudsen said. We need to throw the ball when we can and get things going up front. In Saturdays game, the Irish put up 121 yards on the ground and 85 yards through the air. Redemskes 91 yards on 24 carries led the squad. Following him were Goelz (15 yards on four carries), Nic Paumen (seven yards on two carries), Trevor Borell (six yards on two carries) and Landon Caughey (two yards on eight carries). Goelz completed eight of his 15 passes for 58 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Caughey went 1-2 for 27 yards. Zach Johnson reeled in four receptions for 45 yards. Redemske followed with two receptions for 20 yards. Strub (10 yards), Ryan Kalinowski (seven yards) and Caughey (three yards)
each made a catch. Several players stepped up on defense: Nic Paumen (six tackles, three assists), Trevor Paumen and Damian Kaley (five tackles, three assists), Redemske (four tackles, four assists and a fumble recovery), Gapinski (four tackles, three assists and a forced fumble), Trevor Borell (four tackles), Strub (three tackles, three assists), Dominic Kaley (three tackles, three assists and a forced fumble), Devin Lowers (three tackles, two assists and a fumble recovery), Lucas Fobbe (two tackles and three assists), Josh Gindele (one tackle, two as-
sists), Derek Reller (one tackle, two assists) and Landon Caughey (one tackle). Knudsen hopes his team can build on their recent efforts. We want to play our best football now heading into the playoffs, he said.

Minimum wage
Contrary to conservative claims, Winkler believes that raising the minimum wage would put more money back into the economy. But, Koch countered that doing so would have unintended consequences. Grocery stores, for example, operate on a 1 percent profit margin, so increasing labor costs would result in reduced hours, reduced employees, higher prices, or a combination of the three, she said.

What you find is it oftentimes has a negative effect on the very people youre proposing to help, Koch said. Williams wondered if Koch sensed any implication to raise the minimum wage. I would argue for encouraging the market, business, innovation and higher skilled workers in the workforce rather than the government picking a number, Koch said.

Winkler responded, saying that has not been the case. Historically speaking, the minimum wage should be $10.75, based on inflation. The argument of taking care of business and a competitive environment is going to generate a better outcome is not our experience in the past 40 years, Winkler said. The only alternative is for the government to set a different direction. Brucato asked Winkler if all jobs are worth $10 per hour. There is no magic number, Winkler said. But if you have 40 percent of jobs paying less than the median wage, our economy is going the wrong direction. When Koch said she would have to cut hours and raise prices to cover a higher minimum wage at Maple Lake Bowl, Williams asked Winkler, Are you cool with that? Thats not a good outcome, but its also not the outcome mini-
mum wage increases have provided in the past, Winkler said. Its easy to understand the cost, but harder to see the benefit, such as more revenue and less turnover. Were talking about a 55 percent increase to the second highest in the nation, Koch said. Are there better ways to lift all boats that dont have the possible bad effects that wed see with an increased minimum wage? Winkler said he would be willing to pay more for things to benefit a good cause, such as reducing the need for public aid and charitable services, and he believes many people agree. The crowd applauded as Koch rhetorically asked, If the market will bear a higher price and I need to pay employees more to keep them, why do I need the state and federal government telling me where that price is? How do you explain that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer? Williams
asked. Economic reality does not line up with historic numbers, according to Koch. Ryan is talking about the government coming in and tinkering with the market in a way that evens things out, Koch said. What we find out, historically, when they do that, there are things that are unintended and detrimental. For example, she said one of her employees had her hours at another job cut, due to Obamacare. Winkler noted that part-time employment was skyrocketing before Obamacare was passed. He talked about a link between low wages and deep poverty, but Brucato asked if raising the minimum wage would truly address that problem. If you have two people working four jobs to pay for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, there is no family to take care of those kids, Winkler said.

Instead of raising the minimum wage, Koch championed an earned income tax credit. But, Winkler said such credits go to individuals not paying taxes. The beneficiary is the company thats paying low wages to begin with, Winkler said. It just deals with the symptoms. It doesnt change the fact that people are unable to support themselves. A question from the audience helped sum up the evening: What happens if youre wrong? Winkler said the state could change its mind about the minimum wage, but the crowd disagreed. The minimum wage has never gone down, Winkler said. Its an indicator that its always within the economys ability to deal with those changes. If Ryan is wrong, the detrimental effects to our economy are very serious, Koch said. If Im wrong, I get to make some money and eat crow. Winkler had the last word on the topic saying, If youre wrong, wages will continue to go down and poverty will increase. In his closing argument, Winkler said trickle-down economics have not worked. Koch spent most of her closing arguments by thanking everyone who made the event possible. What Id like to think is if more politicians spent more time listening to people, you may not have whats happening in Washington and what happened a couple years ago in the state, Koch said.
