Resident warns
about scam calls
A local resident would like to
alert area residents about a re-
cent scam call she received.
The caller said he was her
grandson and that he needed
$3,000 to get out of jail. He also
asked her not to tell anyone.
A deputy told her to pur-
chase that amount of MoneyPak
Green Dot cards and read the
numbers to him over the phone.
He also told her if anyone asked
her what they were for that she
could just say she was purchas-
ing something to avoid sharing
her grandsons supposed legal
situation.
She went to an area store that
sells MoneyPaks and was just
about to purchase them when the
store manager told her, I think
your grandson is just fine. The
manager then explained that the
situation was likely a scam. The
woman called her grandson and
found out he was not in jail.
She canceled the transaction
and thanked the store manager
for being very alert. The man-
ager said that store tries to train
their employees to look for pos-
sible scams but wasnt sure if
every employee would have
caught on to the scam in that sit-
uation.
Since she canceled the trans-
action and did not return the
scammers call, she received a
call at home and on her cell
phone, but those calls ended
when she did not return them.
The woman who was called
has since reported the incident to
local law enforcement. She was
told that these scams often orig-
inate outside of the United
States, making it difficult to
track and prosecute the scam-
mers. That deputy also encour-
aged her to warn others about
the scam.
It sounds very convincing
on the phone, she said.
She encourages other indi-
viduals, especially elderly who
have grandchildren, to ask a lot
of questions if they ever receive
a similar call.
She also said she had thought
the situation would never hap-
pen to her and discouraged oth-
ers from thinking the same.
Dont say, It wont happen
to me, she said. It did happen
to me.

For Wright County residents
who have endured a long, cold
winter and a brutal spring, the
onset of summer has been a long
time in the making. With summer
finally here, thousands of people
every weekend will be hitting area
lakes and rivers. They wont be
alone, as members of the Wright
County Sheriffs Office will be in
and around the water as well.
Sheriff Joe Hagerty said that
with summer comes boaters who
are out to have a good time, but its
his job to make sure that the good
times dont endanger the lives of
the boaters themselves or those on
the lake with them.
We have a lot of water in
Wright County, Hagerty said.
We have 200 lakes and several
rivers, including the Mississippi
River, the north and south fork of
the Crow River and Clearwater
River. We have a recreational serv-
ices division and we patrol all
those waterways. Given the long
winter we had, there are a lot of
people looking to finally get out
and enjoy the lakes and rivers we
have in Wright County.
Hagerty said public safety is a
key component to the countys
water patrol and having numerous
lake associations in the county is
helpful in making sure safety rules
are maintained.
Weve been fairly fortunate in
that we havent had a lot tragedies
on our waterways other than peo-
ple falling through ice, Hagerty
said. I think one of the reasons
weve had so few problems during
the summer months are the numer-
ous lake associations we have in
the county. Theyre our eyes and
ears out there and theyre more apt
to report to us when they see some-
thing going wrong. But, that being
said, we have a lot of officers out
on the water during the summer to
have a presence to let boaters
know that we have enforcement
out there.
Hagerty said that most people
on the water are in a good mood
and not looking for trouble and
there isnt the kind of boater vol-
ume that often results in problems
that require citations. Most Wright
County lakes dont have the kind
of high volume like Lake Min-
netonka in Hennepin County or the
St. Croix River in Washington
County. As a result, its easier to
monitor the lakes and stick to their
primary objective keeping water
enthusiasts safe.
I think the people here for the
most part are mindful that theyre
sharing the water with others and
almost all problems we do have
are related to alcohol, Hagerty
said. Our goal is to make sure
people stay safe and most boaters
understand that because theyre
just looking to have fun, spend a
day on the water and get home
safely.
The Wright County Board of
Commissioners, at the June 3
meeting, authorized signatures on
an $8,875 federal boating enforce-
ment supplemental grant to pro-
vide additional patrols on county
lakes and rivers during the summer
months.
In other business, the board:
Accepted the building com-
mittee minutes that laid over dis-
cussion of the disposition of a
paved roadway at the county com-
post facility. The cost estimate to
repave the road would have been
$300,000. Using the road course
for officer training has saved the
county an estimated $14,000 a
year, but the road is in such poor
shape that it needs replacing be-
yond cosmetic repairs. Commis-
sioner Pat Sawatzke brought up
potential alternatives, such as po-
tentially using the MnRoad area on
I-94 or large parking lots that could
simulate the current road course.
The item was laid over to seek out
more cost information for the dif-
ferent alternatives.
Approved a resolution modi-
fying the joint powers agreement
with the Central Minnesota Emer-
gency Services Board. The
changes were primarily cosmetic
changes, including a name change
of the organization from the Cen-
tral Minnesota Regional Radio
Board. The board deals with radio
communications, including the
911 phone system. The board was
created after the Sept. 11, 2001,
disasters when emergency respon-
ders had difficulty communicating
with one another because they
were operating on different fre-
quencies. Since then, coordinating
emergency communications ef-
forts has been undertaken nation-
wide. Some of the changes to the
JPA are designed to deal with new
generation 911 communications.
Scheduled the bid-letting date
for a highway department salt shed
in Maple Lake for 9 a.m. Thurs-
day, July 10.
Approved a pair of city re-
quests to purchase tax-forfeited
land. One is in the city of Monti-
cello and the other in the city of
Waverly. State law permits cities to
acquire tax-forfeited land if the
purchase is for a public use.

Four runners make
Maple Lake history
Election
season
begins
with
filings
Four junior boys from Maple
Lake have made school history.
Jackson Willard, Andrew
Schonnesen, Scott Jordan and
Ryan Kalinowski not only shat-
tered their own school record by
about three seconds, but also be-
came the first Irish relay team to
place second or higher at the
Minnesota State High School
League Track and Field Champi-
onships.
Leading up to the event, the
boys prepared diligently for the
race, working all week on speed
and pace. By the time Friday
came around, they were warming
up and staying loose, knowing
the training was done.
On Saturday, as the rain
stopped and the Class A meet
began, the boys were warmed up
and ready to run their race.
The first heat was run, with
Crosby-Ironton winning. Those
were the teams with the slower
seed times. During the first heat,
the boys did their final warm-ups
and mental preparations for the
meet.
When the gun went off,
Willard ran the first leg for the
Irish. He moved from second
runner to first as suggested by
coaches Ben Youngs and Craig
Grams. He battled hard, running
the first lap in a blistering 56.5
seconds, staying with Pine Is-
land's sophomore star runner
Michael Acker. When he handed
off to Schonnesen, he was a few
seconds out of first and ahead of
the rest of the field.
"I think having Jackson run
first paid off, Youngs said. He
handled the fast pace well and
kept us in great position."
Schonnesen looked smooth
from the start. As he ran past the
grandstand and heard the crowd
cheering, he caught up to and
passed the Pine Island runner. He
extended his lead, looking really
smooth, and as he handed off to
Jordan, the Irish were in first by
about 15 meters.
Jordan took off quickly, run-
ning hard. He held off the tough
runners from Martin County
West and Mounds Park Academy
as best he could, and when he
handed off to Kalinowski, the
Irish were in third, right behind
those two teams. Mounds Park
Academy's anchor runner proved
to be too tough, but Kalinowski
passed Martin County West's an-
chor in the last part of the race to
give the Irish a runner-up finish
with a time of 8:09.33.

Two parents hurriedly prepare their kids and
themselves for a busy day. While listing off her
plans, the mom suddenly announces, Im preg-
nant. Everything stops for a moment until the dad
eventually asks, Who wants a baby brother or sis-
ter?
This is the scenario for a BMO Harris Bank
commercial that has been airing for several
months. It features Spencer Kramber, a native
Minnesotan with a strong connection to Maple
Lake.
His passion for acting has taken him from the
Midwest to TV screens across the country, with
plenty of stops along the way.
Minnesota roots
Kramber grew up on Lake Reno Resort, which
was managed by his parents Terry, originally of
Kimball, and Barb (Loch), originally of Maple
Lake.
He remembers several trips to Maple Lake, in-
cluding at the VFW, the Wright Saddle Club, St.
Patricks Day parades and several masses at St.
Timothys Catholic Church.
Maple Lake is my second home, he said of
the town where his grandmother, Monica Loch,
lives. We spent so much time there, I got to know
the community so well.
Kramber got his start in acting at the age of 9
or 10.
He was in fourth grade and in a play in
school, Barb Kramber said. He was a detective
and really enjoyed it and got into it.
In my junior year of high school, I figured I
could be an actor because I found
out I could major in it, Kramber
said. I thought, Man, thats
what I want to do.
So, thats exactly what he did
at Minnesota State University-
Mankato, where he graduated with
a degree in theatre arts.

Minnesota nice
meets Hollywood
Fishing on Lake of the Woods has been a tradition for Mike
Muller (above), George Palmer and myself for a number of years,
something we managed to keep alive last week. Also on the trip
were my older brother, Lloyd, from Elk River, his son, John, from
Dallas, Texas, and Mark Klimstra, also from Elk River. When we
arrived at the Canada Port of Entry, the attendant was slapping mos-
quitoes like crazy and we knew wed have those to look forward
to. As we were about to leave Canada to drive into the Northwest
Angle we were checked by Home Security people at their tempo-
rary station for passports. That hadnt happened to us before and as
the saying goes, alls well that ends well!
Getting back to fishing, Palmer was the first-fish winner with a
nice walleye off Brush Island which was good for a $1, but too big
to keep. That was something that haunted us the rest of the morning
even after we moved into Canadian waters and fished near Windfall
Island. I had one walleye 26 inches long and Muller caught the most
for our shore lunch. He also showed his skill in 31 that night, win-
ning the six person pot or $5. On Monday it rained and we contin-
ued playing cards rather than fight the elements. Lloyd won twice,
John once and Muller once leaving the rest of us wondering what
we were doing wrong. On Tuesday I got lucky and pulled in the
first walleye again in Canada, but this time off High Island. We also
caught and released some small mouthed bass up to 17 inches which
are more sporty than walleyes, but not as palatable. Our shore lunch
gave us a break and a chance to stuff ourselves with fish, fried po-
tatoes and cantaloupe for dessert. The Elk River guys and nephew,
John, fished on Wednesday morning for crappies as they had their
limits of walleyes and had to leave to make a graduation commit-
ment for Marks daughter who is also a hockey goalie and will be
playing at Bethel College next year. Mark assured us hed have a
full week next year. The three of us took ham sandwiches along
when we fished the Monument Bay area. Luck was still with me
and I caught the first fish and while most of the fish ran small I
nabbed one that measured 25 inches. Later in the afternoon a 31-
inch Northern (about 7.5 lbs.) gave me a thrill and Muller wrapped
the net around it. That evening we had four spirited games of 31
with Muller and George winning one and yours truly two. On
Thursday, our last day of fishing, we tried Rock Island off the west
end of Brush Island in Minnesota and found the walleyes hungry
and aggressive. I had the first fish, but we kept only the ones that
came close to the 19.5-inch slot and ended up with enough to fill
out our limits. We had planned a shore lunch, but by 11 a.m. we
were ready to pull up the trolling motor and try something different.
Yours truly was operating the trolling motor at the time and was
pulling it up with the tether rope when it broke and I tumbled back-
wards into the boat. There was some concern about my well-being
by my fishing buddies, but fortunately, the only thing that got hurt
was my fishing reel which had a severe bend in the axle. Normally
I use an electric knife to fillet the walleyes, but an afternoon thun-
derstorm knocked out the power and it was back to a manual knife.
Our hosts, Dale and Grace Prothero and their son, John, used a
backup unit for water and the rest of the appliances are gas so we
enjoyed a delicious spaghetti dinner that evening, compliments of
Palmers spouse, Sonja. We ate in the screened porch which pro-
vided more light. The electricity came on later while were we wash-
ing dishes, which was fortunate for the dishes! Later Palmer and I
relieved Muller of four quarters apiece. Again it was great fishing
at Minnesotas best-kept secret and we made reservations again for
next year. As the saying goes, Well be there, God willing, and
the creek doesnt rise.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
I really miss my dad. Cancer
got him in March of 2013 at the
age of 75 and it was not a pretty
ending. I guess it went as best it
could but I would gladly forget
his last few days. I had a theory
that having some time to say
goodbye would be better than
the sudden way death can take
someone. As painful as it was, I
was glad we had time to spend
together that final year.
My first memories of him
were of this gentle giant that
would put his big paw around
you and make you feel safe from
everything. The smell of Aqua
Velva Ice Blue aftershave that he
wore would permeate the safety
zone ... that smell to this day in-
stantly reminds me of him.
Raising a family of 11 on a
cops salary was an amazing
thing, but not dissimilar to a lot
of stories out there ... our parents
really worked their tails off to
make a living and raise a family.
Their work ethic characterized
their generation and they passed
that on to us and, hopefully, we
have passed that on to our kids
as well. Its a family tradition
that makes parents most proud.
My memories of growing up
were great. A close family with
great parents guiding us along
the way ... we were blessed.
After I had children, I joked with
my dad about how tough it is to
raise kids and how easy he had
it. He would bust a gut laughing
and say, Yeah, right, it was real
easy providing for this family on
my salary. I would further ex-
plain my theory by asking him
what would you say to me if I
came up to you and said I am
going out with my buddies and I
need a five spot? ... I can still
hear him laughing. With my
kids, it seemed to be too easy to
spoil them and I worried about
them growing up a little soft.
As we 11 grew older, my dad
started challenging us to the
great art of debate. He lived for
the lively discussion and would
often lob some controversial
subject across the table to see
who would pick up the debate
on the other side. It was so pre-
dictable that we would refer to it
as musky fishing. At every
family gathering, my dad would
throw multiple buzz baits
across the table and see who
would hook on for the fight.
Once dad had you on the line, he
would play you like a pro. The
rest of the kids would simply
watch it all play out. Most dis-
cussions were easy ones that
lasted only a few rounds but
some were knock-down, drag-
outs packed with high emotion.
Many times, I took the bait and
went the full 15 rounds. My sib-
lings thought I was a very dumb
musky.
As a result of these discus-
sions, we 11 grew to be very in-
dependent, tough individuals ...
kind of a rite of passage I guess.
Ive got to give the old man
credit for building us up through
this process. We all became very
capable individuals with the
drive to get things doneand
stubborn as a mule (just ask my
wife).
As much as I did not want to
be like my dad, I turned out just
like him. I have an opinion about
everything and think my opinion
is right. I want to pass this
knowledge to my kids ... if they
would only listen. I think its
a product of age. We think we
have paid the price, learned the
hard way, and can save our kids
so much pain and misery if they
would just listen to us. Man, if I
could just have a second back to
tell my dad of this discovery, he
would feel vindicated ... and he
should.
When I try to tell my kids
something these days, it is like
looking in the mirror of my
youth ... their journey on the
learning curve is well on its way.
They are competent individuals
cutting their own path in life
now. That makes me a proud fa-
ther ... the best fathers day pres-
ent I can get. So, if your fathers
are still around, be sure to spend
some quality time with dad this
weekend, just beware of the
buzz baits.
Im off to buy a bottle of
Aqua Velva Ice Blue. I plan to
crack the seal, take a big whiff
and see my dad again ... and
wish him Happy Fathers
Day!

Foster care provider
banquet was May 15
Wright County Human Serv-
ices is happy to announce that
adult and child foster care
providers were thanked this May
during National Foster Care
Month.
ices held a banquet for all
providers in Wright County who
care for either vulnerable adults
or children. The banquet re-
turned this year after a six-year
break due to budgetary reasons,
and Wright County staff are hop-
ing to again be able to provide
this night of appreciation every
year for our providers.
The foster providers were
welcomed by several local mas-
sage therapists who donated
their time and provided chair
massages to those who were in-
terested. A buffet dinner was
provided. The evening ended
with entertainment full of smiles
and laughs provided by Mr.
Magic. Each provider was able
to take home a bedding plant
that was donated, to share with
the adults and children in their
homes.
We are excited that so many
of our foster providers attended
and enjoyed a relaxing evening.
We can never say thank you
enough to our providers for all
the dedication, compassion and
hard work that goes into wel-
coming a vulnerable adult or
child into their homes and fami-
lies. Wright County Human
Services is looking forward to
honoring more foster providers
next year.
ices is recruiting homes for our
foster children and vulnerable
adults. If you are interested in
hearing more about providing
foster care for children, contact
me at 763-682-7484 or for
adults, Nesa Black 763-682-
7489.

Lucky you. It's culture time
again. We went to a couple more
concerts.
The first concert turned out to
be a string quartet. We figured
there would be about 30 more
musicians than the four who
showed up, so we were disap-
pointed and left early. Not being
fans of string quartets doing
modern music had something to
do with it.
The next concert was more to
our liking. I counted 34 or 36
musicians. They moved around
and were hard to count. There
were enough performers to hold
our interest, and the composers
were dead, as they usually are
when we like the music.
Haydn and Schubert were the
featured composers, along with
Barber, whose death was a lot
more recent than the other two.
We liked Barber's stuff, but not
much. His piece was a violin
solo done by Ruggero Allifran-
chini, who is a real good fiddler.
In fact, Wife said she thought he
broke a string toward the end of
the piece, and he got through it
just swell anyhow. He should
have used a guitar, because they
have more strings.
We think Daria was the name
of the concertmaster for the day,
because she was listed in the pro-
gram as a regular, and the con-
ductor shook her hand a lot. She
had the pointiest black shoes in
the bunch, another good sign,
and knew just how to raise a foot
from time to time. A couple
times she even raised two feet.
Her four-inch heels probably
helped. And she tossed her hair.
Schubert's symphony was his
#8 in B Minor, D. 759 what-
ever that means which is called
Unfinished. Notes in the pro-
gram said he didn't finish it be-
cause maybe he got tired of it, or
he was sick, or he just wanted to
be different. He died a few years
after he wrote it. Of syphilis, of
all things. In his early 30s. Seems
to me, Beethoven had a problem
like that, but was too crabby to
die young. According to my co-
pious research (one look-up), he
possibly died from things like al-
coholic cirrhosis, syphilis, hepa-
titis, or maybe even Whipple's
disease, whatever that is. People
weren't all healthy back then. But
we still liked Schubert's stuff, re-
gardless.
Haydn's piece was familiar to
us culture freaks. It was his sym-
phony #102, which didn't have a
really neat name like Military or
Clock or Drum Roll, as some of
his his other stuff is called. You'd
like it. We did.
Next year, the main concert
hall for the St. Paul Chamber Or-
chestra will move to St. Paul.
That move is logical, but far
away. We'll have to see just how
into this musical culture thing we
are before we decide how much
we can absorb. Maybe we'll
switch cultures then. To drag
races or zoos.

Farm trailers
Question: What is the law
with small farm trailers being
exempt from registration? I
heard something about a
10,000-pound limit when being
pulled by a regular motor vehi-
cle (not a farm tractor), but I
want to know the facts. A neigh-
bor-friend of mine got ticketed
for no Minnesota registration
for hauling a lot less weight than
that on his farm trailer being
pulled with a pickup truck, but
he thought he was exempt. He
was helping me haul some
large, old household items to the
dump with it, so I kind of feel
partially responsible. Thanks for
whatever information you can
provide.
Answer: Many types of trail-
ers are exempt from registra-
tion, but I am sure that what you
are referring to is found in
M.S.S. 168.012, Subdivision 2a:
Farm trailers with a gross
weight of less than 10,000
pounds, drawn by a passenger
automobile or farm truck and
used exclusively for transport-
ing agricultural products from
farm to farm and to and from the
usual marketplace of the owner,
shall not be taxed as motor ve-
hicles using the public streets
and highways and shall be ex-
empt from the provisions of this
chapter.
The reason your neighbor
was cited for not having regis-
tration is because of the part of
the law that says: ... and used
exclusively for transporting
agricultural products from farm
to farm and to and from the
usual marketplace of the owner
... Because he was hauling
something other than that, he
was no longer exempt and had
to comply with normal trailer
requirements, including regis-
tration. The officer probably
mentioned this to your friend,
who also could have possibly
received other violation charges
related to the trailer as well.
I hope this information clears
it up for you. If anyone is get-
ting cited by an officer for
something and you dont under-
stand something about the vio-
lation, just ask the officer to
clarify the situation for you. A
portion of state statutes wasused
with permission from the Office
of the Revisor of Statutes.

concerning traffic related laws
or issues in Minnesota, send
your questions to Trp. Jesse

trol at 1000 Highway 10 West,

Saturday, June 7, was a
soggy day for the Maple
Lake Chamber of Com-
merce Citywide Garage
Sales, with rain persisting
throughout the morning.
Several intersections were
also filled with signs point-
ing potential patrons to
sales. Many sales began
on Thursday and Friday
and some had sold out of
items before the official
citywide sales even began.
Despite the weather on
Saturday, some streets
were lined with cars at dif-
ferent times even before
the sun came out in the af-
ternoon.

A soggy day for citywide sales
Approved a condemnation
resolution for the one unsigned
parcel of right-of-way along
County State Aid Highway 12,
which will be undergoing con-
struction between Minnesota
Highway 55 and CSAH 37. When
a right-of-way agreement cant be
reached between the county high-
way department and landowners,
condemnation resolutions are re-
quired to acquire the parcel. Con-
demnation proceedings are typi-
cally a last resort to acquire right-
of-way when negotiations fail to
reach an agreement.
Waived its 30-day comment
period on a proposed Tax Incre-
ment Financing district in the city
of Rockford. The purpose of the
TIF district is to help jump start the
process of getting businesses to
open stores in a retail mall in the
city.
Spencer Kramber
Hiting the road
After college, I realized I
needed to adventure, said
Kramber, who had never lived
outside of Minnesota. So, I
bought a one-way ticket to Ire-
land.
There, he had headshots
taken and got called back for an
audition. When he didnt get the
part, he was content to take a
sabbatical from acting, but the
director invited him to a bar to
meet another director.
I was exhausted and almost
didnt go but a little voice said to
go, Kramber said. I did and
I got the part and got to put a re-
ally cool play on my resume.
Now, he calls that credit one
of his proudest accomplishments
because it taught him adven-
tures dont happen watching
TV.
After Ireland, he lived out of
a suitcase for two years as he
traveled the East Coast with the
Boston Chamber Theatre per-
forming 19th Century literature.
He decided to earn his mas-
ters degree and had his choice
between Florida, Nebraska,
Delaware and UCLA.
He gave me his pros and
cons for each, Barb Kramber
said. His thought was he didnt
want to be $90,000 in debt. I
said some people get married,
buy a house, get a mortgage and
are in debt. For you, its getting
your masters and being in debt.
We supported him all the way.
UCLA stood out above the
rest.
The head of the theatre de-
partment there said, Come out
to L.A. and well have fun,
Kramber said. At 24, I needed
to learn how to have fun. I was
working too hard. People would
say, I see you working hard, but
I dont see you having fun.
So, Kramber spent three
years learning how to do that,
along with picking up his de-
gree.
Getting his career started
Once Kramber graduated
from UCLA, he realized he
needed a job and started calling
and sending resumes to prospec-
tive employers.
I called a casting director
named Mimi Webb Miller,
Kramber said. I was leaving a
longwinded message and she
picked up and said, How can I
help you?
Webb Miller taught Kramber
how to run a camera and encour-
aged him to try to crash audi-
tions. Doing so earned him a
couple callbacks, but he never
got a gig. He got a break when
the manager of the facility asked
him to be assistant manager.
With that experience, Kramber
was able to become a freelance
session director for commercial
auditions.
His big break
What would you do if you
won the Oscar Mayer Wiener-
mobile for a day? Kramber was
enlisted to help answer that
question in a commercial in
which he was a groom celebrat-
ing his wedding with his bride
on the Wienermobile.
I met a nice girl and had to
kiss her 25 to 30 times, Kram-
ber said. I thought, I like act-
ing.
His roles have varied from
commercial to commercial and
some spots have been more vis-
ible and successful than others.
The one that was an aha
moment for me was the Super
Bowl ad, Barb Kramber said of
the Volkswagon Punch Dub
commercial in which her son
played a paramedic. He had
told my husband but not me. I
was like, Oh my gosh, thats
Spencer!
She has gotten used to seeing
her son in commercials.
In all, Kramber has been in
about 20 commercials, including
a Clorox commercial that has
aired more than 4,000 times and
won a CLIO Award.
His credits also include a role
on Criminal Minds and Young
and the Restless. His Minnesota
accent and lingo helped him se-
cure the latter role as a security
guard.
The casting director said,
Can you Minnesotanize it at
all? I said, Like drop an uff-
da? She didnt know what an
uff-da was, but I threw in one
and a you betcha, Kramber
said. That was my foray into
the TV world.
As a session director, he puts
about 100 actors per day on
camera, including The Most In-
teresting Man in the World,
Jonathan Goldsmith, for a Dos
Equis spot, and Stephanie Court-
ney, AKA Flo the Progressive
girl.
Teaching others
In addition to acting and di-
recting, Kramber has taught the
Camera Audition Simulator
since 2006 at his alma maters,
Heidelberg University, Ohio
Theatre Alliance, The Acting
Spot, Castaway Studios and cur-
rently at In The Act Productions.
Hes willing to give acting
advice to anyone who asks.
When you grow up in a
small town, your dreams seem
so far away, Kramber said. All
you really need is the passion to
pursue it and then just plan
ahead. Go to the right college
and find out where you want to
be. Then, it comes down to work
ethic, something people from
Maple Lake have more than
anyone else.
Personally, hes taken inspi-
ration from actors like James
Earl Jones, Jack Lemmon and
Tom Hanks.
James Earl Jones had a mas-
sive stutter and never really
talked until he was 16, Kram-
ber said. He became so frus-
trated with silence, he forced
himself to join speech and foren-
sics to tackle that straight on.
Now look who he is. I had a
speech impediment as a kid and
went through two years of
speech pathology. I very much
respect him.
He called Jack Lemmon a
lesson in focus.
When you talked to him, he
stared dead into your eyes until
the conversation was done,
Kramber said. In Hollywood,
when youre talking to someone,
theyre often looking around the
room to see who else they can
talk to. He was the antithesis of
that.
Tom Hanks once waited after
a play to talk to the cast and
shook Krambers hand.
I said, I dont think Ill
wash this hand, Kramber said.
He was the nicest guy in the
world. Hes exactly who you
think he is.
As for dealing with celebri-
ties, he recommended leaving
them alone unless you have
something strong to connect
with them about.
The future
Krambers goals have
changed over the years.
I could stay here and con-
tinue to try to live the dream of
being an acclaimed actor and not
get any closer, he said. Thats
not my desire anymore. My de-
sire is to be a working artist, but
I miss the stage.
While L.A. is known for act-
ing, it is not known for theatre.
If I got cast in a play but
booked a commercial to get paid
$15,000, I cant say I need to be
off set by 6:15 p.m. to be in the-
atre. They dont care, so I just
dont do plays anymore.
For that reason, he and his
girlfriend, Katrina ODonnell,
have considered moving them-
selves and their 1-year-old
daughter, Beckett, to a city like
Portland or maybe Minneapolis.
Id like to have a small cast-
ing office and teach classes and
still act on the side and grow
from there, Kramber said,
adding that he dreams of creat-
ing an entire city block dedi-
cated to the arts.
Hed also like to write a
screenplay about his childhood
growing up on Lake Reno.
Im just writing to have it,
but if it sells, thatd be pretty
cool, he said.
In the near future, he plans to
come to Minnesota in July to
pay tribute to his high school
theatre director, Lee Paulson,
who passed away at the age of
89. During his time in his home
state, he plans to visit his family
in Maple Lake.
Its a place I go back to and
feel at home, Kramber said.

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: Does the DNR do anything
to control mosquitoes?
A: The DNR does not gener-
ally do any control of mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes are a nuisance to peo-
ple but they are food for a vari-
ety of animals such as fish, birds,
bats and dragonflies. All mosquito
control products have some level
of nontarget impact to the envi-
ronment, and most treatments pro-
vide only a temporary reduction in
adult mosquito numbers.
We do allow very limited mos-
quito control at Fort Snelling State
Park when levels meet certain
thresholds identified in an agree-
ment between the DNR and Met-
ropolitan Mosquito Control
District (MMCD). We also have
an interagency agreement be-
tween the MN Dept. of Health,
MMCD and DNR for manage-
ment of disease-carrying mosqui-
toes.
Control treatments under both
agreements occur only in local-
ized areas within the park and
only when sampling detects mos-
quito larva numbers above thresh-
old levels. In many years, no
treatments are conducted.

The American Red Cross, in part-
nership with Nexcare Bandages and
supermodel Niki Taylor,will cele-
brate World Blood Donor Day on
June 14 with the sixth annual Nex-
care give program. The Red Cross
encourages all eligible blood donors
to give, especially those with types
O negative, B negative and A nega-
tive, to help maintain the summer
blood supply and prevent a short-
age.
The goal of the give program is to
inspire people to donate this sum-
mer and all year long by raising
awareness about the ongoing need
for blood. Nexcare created a collec-
tion of limited-edition bandages sur-
rounding this years theme, The
Art of Giving, to remind donors of
the importance of blood donation.
The bandages focus on the word
give and are inspired by five artis-
tic movement styles impression-
ism, abstract art, contemporary art,
pop art and street art. The limited-
edition bandages will be available to
presenting blood and platelet donors
at Red Cross blood drives beginning
Monday, June 9, through World
Blood Donor Day on June 14.
Many people say they never
fully understood the importance of
donating blood until they or some-
one they love needed it, said Geoff
Kaufmann of the Red Cross North
Central Blood Services Region.
Donors are needed every single
day to ensure an adequate blood
supply is available for patients now
and throughout the year.
Red Cross spokesperson and
mother of four Niki Taylor under-
stands the need for blood all too
well. In 2001, she almost lost her life
after a serious car accident. During
her recovery, Taylor received ap-
proximately 100 units of lifesaving
blood. To this day, she attributes her
survival to the donors and doctors
who helped save her life.
For more information or to make
an appointment to donate blood or
platelets, visit redcrossblood.org or
call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-
733-2767).

School News
Sixth-grade students from the
classes of Mrs. Decker, Mrs. Des-
Marais-Holland and Mr. Fuchs
write their farewells to Maple
Lake Elementary.
Ivan Latour Maple Lake Ele-
mentary has been an amazing
school for me. I have so many
great memories about this school
that I hope I never forget: Such as
meeting some of my best friends
in preschool and second grade.
Also I will never forget the teach-
ers who helped me, and gave such
good support. They helped me be-
come the best I can. The high
school will be very different for
us. The classrooms and lunch-
room will be different. I will re-
member the elementary hallways,
gym, lunchroom, classrooms and
especially the teachers as being
things that made Maple Lake El-
ementary special for me. Thank
you for the great years Maple
Lake Elementary.
Hailie Mickelson One thing
Ill miss about Maple Lake ele-
mentary is all the teachers. Mrs.
Holland, Mrs. Decker, and Mr.
Fuchs have all inspired kids. They
make you feel like you are pro-
gressing throughout the year. Mrs.
Holland is the best Language Arts
teacher there is. She helps you
when you feel like you are wrong.
She is hilarious and always is full
of humor no matter what mood
she is in. She understands how
you are feeling and what you are
going through. I can say Mrs. Hol-
land is like my In-School-Mom.
Mrs. Decker is the best Science
teacher in the galaxy. She teaches
us Science, Social Studies, and
Health. Even if it is pretty hard for
a bunch of 6th graders she brings
fun into learning. Shes a great
teacher with a kind heart, and is
always interested in what we have
to share. Mrs. Decker is the great-
est. Mr. Fuchs is an amazing math
teacher. I think he explains how
things work best. He always is
ready to teach what he knows best
and always teaches us something
new. Mr. Fuchs always waits until
the student understands what hes
teaching before he moves on.
These teachers are so inspiring
and amazing that it makes me sad
Im leaving the Elementary.
Linus Brown One of the
things I will miss about the Ele-
mentary school in Maple Lake is
the teachers. They are all nice and
they always make sure you have a
way to seeing if you have home-
work. I will not miss not having
little homework. In High School
we will have a lot more home-
work to do, not only two or three
times a week as in the Elementary.
We will have more tests to take in
the High School too. Im saying
good bye to a lot of good Elemen-
tary memories.
Mercedes Evanson One of
the main things I will miss about
Maple Lake Elementary is being
able to see my friends every week.
I will miss all the helpful teachers
and staff, healthy lunches. Partic-
ularly I will miss the band teacher.
I really want her to teach us next
year. Some of the things Im hop-
ing for in 7th grade is playing vol-
ley ball, getting to know knew
people, and seeing how much
homework we get.
Rayne Jacobson I will miss
Maple Lake Elementary because
I wont have these amazing teach-
ers. Ill also miss not having re-
cess or have the same friends in
class like I had in the Elementary.
I will also miss the snack cart and
the Smack in General because I
get hungry a lot and they have a
lot of good food that keeps you
filled up until lunch time. But I am
really excited to go to High
School.
Aiden Staloch I would like to
thank all the teachers and staff for
making my Elementary year so
amazing. I also want to thank
them for not only preparing me
for high school but for preparing
me for life.

MLE honors volunteers of the year
MLE clean-up day
June 11, 2014
Sara comes in once a week, sometimes twice and is open to
whatever I have for her. She consistently asks to help in any
way. Sara has a way with these young learners and always
makes each of them feel special. (Photos submitted by Kath
Heffron)
Kelly has spent hours helping in her kids classrooms each
year and she is also the person behind the Maple Lake Face-
book page. Kelly is a very dedicated person to her children
and our District!
Sean has been our go-to carpenter this year! He built our
doghouse for I Love to Read Month, and spray-painted our
clothes pins for our School of Excellence luncheon.
Jean has been an integral part of the success we've had this
year with our new Backpack Buddies Program. She worked
with our school social workers to successfully write a grant
through Wright-Hennepin Co-op to obtain dollars to support
the program. She has been committed to our project since
the first day. Jean can best be described as caring and com-
passionate. We are so grateful for the partnership we have
with Jean and her volunteers at the Food Shelf.
On Tuesday, June 3, Maple
Lake Elementary celebrated four
very special people who were
chosen for the schools Out-
standing Volunteers of the Year
award.
Their names are Sara Hagen,
Kelly Pribyl, Sean Nies and Jean
Skomoroh.
Everyone knows the value of
an extra hand volunteers are
those people that appear with a
smile on their face and two extra
hands ready to help. They usu-
ally dont like acknowledgement
but the school would like to say
thank you.
Whether its talent, patience,
experience, kindness, generosity
or time, these four individuals
have given gifts that cannot be
bought, and school staff and stu-
dents believe they are extremely
fortunate to have each and every
one of them join them in making
Maple Lake schools the best that
it can be.
These volunteers are all so
well-deserving of this honor.
Below are comments from
the staff who nominated these
volunteers.
The school would also like to
thank foster grandparents,
Grandma Rosie, Grandpa Don
and Grandma Betty. Your pres-
ence in our school is important
and we are lucky to have you.
If you are interested in be-
coming a volunteer, foster
grandparent or Connecting
Links Mentor, please contact

Latzig returns
to state golf
Lakers win with balanced attack
by Ashley Becker
Intern
Maple Lake senior Tabitha
Latzig earned the right to com-
pete in the Minnesota State Golf
Tournament Tuesday and
Wednesday, with a strong per-
formance at the section meet.
Sections began on Thursday,
May 29, at Becker. Participating
for the Irish were seniors Tabitha
Latzig, Maggie Carey, Kirsten
Kubian and Kristina Paumen
along with junior Vienna Jude.
Scores following the first 18
holes in Becker were as follows:
Latzig 87, Carey 96, Jude
99, Kubian 109 and Paumen
113. With the cut-off to move on
being 100, the top three Irish
golfers, Latzig, Carey and Jude,
each earned passage to day two
of sections.
On June 2, the three Irish
golfers who advanced took the
course again for day two of sec-
tions. Latzig shot an 89 for a
two-day total of 176, Carey shot
a 98 for a two-day total of 194
and Jude shot a 97, finishing the
two days with a total of 196
strokes.
I'm very happy with the play
of all three of the girls that made
it on to day two of sections,
head coach Steve Fuchs said.
Carey and Jude were not able
to secure positions for the state
tournament and their season
came to an end.
Latzigs low stroke count
earned her one of five spots that
advanced to the state tourna-
ment. Along with Latzig were
three golfers from Providence
Academy and one from
Hutchinson to advance to state.
As a team, the Irish did not
score low enough to place, how-
ever, Latzig earned fifth place
for her individual score.
Tabitha worked very hard to
get a return trip to the state tour-
nament, Fuchs said.

Maple Lake Township
May 20, 2014 Minutes
The regular meeting of the
Maple Lake Township Board
was called to order by Chairman
Gerry Giebenhain at 7 p.m. Su-
pervisor Ronald Wolff, Treas-
urer Judy Neumann and Clerk
Dick Hogan were present.
The minutes of the April 15
meeting were read by Chairman
Giebenhain. As no additions or
corrections were noted, a motion
was offered by Wolff, seconded
by Giebenhain, to accept as read.
Carried 2-0.
Water run-off on 62nd Street
and how to remedy the situation
was discussed. Encroachment by
field cultivation appears to be
the main problem. The renter of
the tillable land will cooperate
and keep tillage outside of the
road right-of-way.
All warrants were paid as
presented.
As no additional business
was brought before the board,
Chairman Giebenhain adjourned
the meeting at 7:50 p.m.

State track
It was an exciting race that
went back-and-forth and the kids
ran hard and came close to a state
championship, Youngs said. It
was the highest finish for a relay
team in school history.
Youngs said the Irish should be
proud of their efforts for handling
the pressure well and battling to
the end.
Mounds Park Academy gradu-
ates three of their four runners, but
Martin County West, just behind
the Irish, had a team made up also
of four juniors as well, so next year
will be interesting. Both of those
schools' cross country teams were
in the state meet last fall also.
Schonnesen also competed in
the high jump at nearly the same
time as the relay.
He cleared 5' 10" before the
4x800 but, by the time the relay
was finished and awards were
given out, he had to hurry down
and jump three consecutive times
at 6', so the timing didn't work to
his advantage, and he was out of
the competition.
We are still proud of him for
making it to state, Youngs said.
That brought an official end to
the season, yet another one full of
accomplishments and memories.
Id like to thank all of you for
your support, time, etc. Youngs
said, referencing the parents of
track students. I enjoyed working
with the kids this spring and, now
that the season is officially over, it
feels strange not to have practice
or a lineup to try to write.

Maple Lake Lakers 5
Delano Athletics 0
The Maple Lake Lakers trav-
eled to Delano on Wednesday
night for a showdown between
two teams unbeaten in North Star
League play.
They wasted little time at the
plate, posting two runs in the first
inning and two again in the third.
Nate Johnson led the charge for
the Laker offense with a single,
double, and two runs batted in.
Laker base runners were active as
well, posting four stolen bases by
four different players to put added
pressure on the Delano pitching
and defense.
While the offense eventually
put up five runs, starter Jeremy
Schmidt only needed one to se-
cure the win. Schmidt went all
nine innings in dominant fashion,
striking out eight while only giv-
ing up three hits and two walks for
his second straight complete-
game shutout.

Maple Lake Lakers 6
The Lakers returned to Maple
Lake to take on former Milwau-
kee Brewers starter Ben Hen-
drickson for a key win Friday
night. Though facing what many
players considered the hardest
fastball they had seen all year, it
did not take long for Maple Lake
to get on the board, scoring two in
the first and one in the second.
The Lakers worked long
counts and took advantage of
every opportunity Maple Plain
gave them in a balanced offensive
attack.
Starter Mitch Wurm made a
tremendous start, pitching a shut-
out into the eighth inning and giv-
ing up no earned runs while
striking out 12.
Maple Lakes defense as a unit
was solid, coming up with several
nice plays while only giving up
two errors.
The combination of strong de-
fense, quality pitching, and oppor-
tunistic offense has become the
signature style of Laker baseball
this season and this game was no
exception.

Buffalo Bulldogs 4
Maple Lake Lakers 8
Ben Jungers got his first start
of the year Sunday night as the
Lakers rolled to a perfect 10-0 on
the season. After a first inning that
featured two Laker errors and a
run scored, Jungers was able to re-
bound, eventually going seven in-
nings.
In post-game discussion,
Yungers said his fastball was not
as strong as usual but that he was
happy with the results and the de-
fense behind him. Todd Fuller fin-
ished off the Bulldogs for his
second save of the year.
Six Lakers doubled in a relent-
less team offensive effort that fea-
tured runs in five out of eight
frames. Graham Brown led the
way with three hits, two runs bat-
ted in, and three steals, bringing
his season steal total to 12.
