The perfect day for a boat parade

The Fourth of July was hot,
sunny and a perfect day to be on
the lake. The Maple Lake Property Owners Association hosted
the annual Boat Parade on Maple
Lake where first, second and
third place was awarded to the
best decorated boats.
Below: Maple Lake residents enjoyed watching the
boat parade from shore just
as much as the boaters enjoyed the cruise.

DNR Question
of the Week
Q: What common poisonous
plants should I avoid while
camping and hiking this summer?
A: Poison ivy is a fairly common plant that everyone should
learn to recognize. You may have
heard the phrase, Leaves of
three let it be, referring to poison ivy. The oils on its leaves can
cause an itchy rash.
While poison ivy is native to
Minnesota, there is a non-native
invasive plant called wild parsnip
that can cause painful burns. If
you get the sap of wild parsnip on
your skin, and your skin is then
exposed to sunlight, this can
cause a chemical burn. Wild
parsnip has small yellow flowers
that grow in flat-topped clusters.
Keep an eye out for wild parsnip
along roadsides, trails and stream
banks.
You can take some simple
steps to avoid exposure to hazardous plants while camping and
hiking:
Learn to identify plants that
are hazardous.
Dont eat any wild plants or
parts of plants.
Cover your skin to prevent
contact with hazardous plants.
Long pants and closed-toed shoes
are good protection.
Stay on trails to minimize
contact with plants.

Fireworks
accident on
Maple Lake
Medical help was called to
Donnelly Drive on Saturday, July
4, at 10:51 p.m., for a Jeffrey
Henrikson, of Maple Lake. Henrikson sustained burns when a
firework prematurely went off in
front of him. He was transported
to the hospital by Allina ambulance. The extent of his injuries is
unknown but he was stable, lucid
and speaking during transport.

Pribyls North Shore Parade is growing

There is a neighborhood on
the north shore of Maple Lake
that has its own way of celebrating the Fourth of July. Each year
the people who live there celebrate Americas independence
with a tractor parade. Residents
said it started in the late 1980s
with about three tractors, and has
grown to more than 30. The parade, known as Pribyls North
Shore Parade, cruises down 58th
Street Northwest starting at Dan
and Mary Jo Pribyls farm. It

consists mostly of tractors with a

few ATVs and creatively designed floats thrown in, and they
dispense candy generously.
Left: A couple of young
spectators prepare to catch
some goodies. Not only
has the number of tractors
in the parade grown since it
was started in the late
1980s, so has the number
of people coming to watch
it.

Sheriffs department
prepared for summer on lakes
by John Holler
Correspondent

Memorial Day is often

viewed as the official start of
summer, but in Minnesota, the
4th of July week serves as the
unofficial start to the summer
recreational boating season. July
and August are far and away the
busiest months for recreational
boating and the Wright County
Sheriffs Department has been
ahead of the game for years.
Closing in on its 50th anniversary of the formation of its
Boat and Water Division, Sheriff
Joe Hagerty said his office is
bracing for the increase in activity on county lakes and will be
prepared to lend a helping hand
as well as keep the peace, something it has done during the long
tenures of its last four sheriffs.
It started with Sheriff Darrell
Wolff and the Wright County Reserve Unit back in the mid- to
late 1960s, Hagerty said. It has
grown a lot since then. There are
200 lakes in Wright County and

we patrol the larger ones that get

a lot of traffic on them.
Wright County has been fortunate in terms of water fatalities
with boating/vehicle related
drownings. There hasnt been a
drowning on a Wright County
lake since 2011 and that came
during the winter when two men
on snowmobiles hit an open
patch of water on a frozen lake
late at night and went through the
ice. In September 2014 an adult
male fell into the water and
drowned in Dog Lake south of
Waverly; a 73-year-old man
from Bethel apparently lost his
balance while stepping from his
pontoon to a dock, fell into
Clearwater Lake and drowned on
May 16, 2015.
Weve been really fortunate, Hagerty said. We havent
had many fatalities over the
years and we have a lot of
water.
One of the issues that does
come up from time to time is
someone operating a boat while

intoxicated. Sergeant Brian

Johnson is in charge of the Boat
and Water Division and he said
that the same rules apply for
drinking and boating as they do
with any other motorized vehicles and that precautions need to
be taken or the operators of the
boat will be subject to the same
penalties boating while intoxicated that drivers face.
We dont have an excessive
amount of BWIs on boats in
Wright County, Johnson said.
It does happen occasionally because not everyone is aware that,
as a motorized vehicle, they are
subject to the same drinking and
driving laws just as if they were
driving a car.
Wright County has more than
25 deputies trained to operate the
boats, jet skis and snowmobiles
that are part of the sheriffs department arsenal of equipment in
its recreational division.

Tractors are shined up and decorated every Fourth of

July for the annual parade that took place this year on
Saturday, July 4, at 11 a.m. They cruise down 58th Street
NW, throwing candy and joking with neighbors who sit at
the end of their driveways to watch.

The Malachek family has participated in the Pribyls North

Shore Parade since the beginning.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Fishing for sunfish ordinarily is great around the 4th of July and
I suspect there were lots of panfish caught, filleted and fried up for
some great meals over the holiday. I was out Tuesday and Wednesday of last week with high hopes of finding the honey hole. That
didnt happen on either day and Im still kind of bewildered with
what happened to the big orange-bellied male sunfish that were so
prevalent a year ago. I was solo on Tuesday and tried several spots
on Maple, but not with a whole lot of success. Females filled with
spawn were still a problem and after a couple of hours and only nine
keepers I called it quits. On Wednesday I teamed up with George
Palmer and suggested an early effect might work. The Tuesday night
cold snap apparently froze the jaws of the larger sunfish as cold
fronts usually do, and we were scraping to find some to put in the
livewell. The little guys were sucking off our pieces of leeches as
fast as a person could re-bait. We switched to some Power Bait
which was tougher for the small fry sunfish to steal. We moved
around more than I normally do, trying to stay just off the weed line.
The Northerns apparently were hungry and one made a huge splash
and gave up as I boated the sunfish it was after. Later a hammerhandler Northern gave chase as I was reeling in a small sunfish, but
veered off, apparently scared by the boat. Palmer and I had a double
when crappies hit our lures with a vengeance. Mine was 12 inches,
Georges slightly smaller, and both were released. Around noon we
found some keeper sunnies among the many small frys we released.
We ended up with 20, not good in any anglers book, considering
this is prime time for them, but thats fishing!

I watched the Lakers wax the Buffalo team 15-2 a week ago
Wednesday at Irish Stadium. Both teams were coming off placing
first and second in the Hinckley tournament and it looked like Buffalo just plain ran out of pitchers. They were defeated by Maple
Plain 14-4 the night before. Left-hander Todd Fuller was on the
mound for the Irish and had a no-hitter going for six innings before
giving up a single to the Buffalo third-sacker. .
. The Irish
have a 10-game home stand beginning with Rockford on July 10.

I teamed up with Daryl Hennen on Friday and Saturday mornings,
fishing on Maple Friday and Mink on Saturday. Maple Lake was
the best of the two for sunfish and, again, fishing just off the weedline.We picked up about 20 keepers and released a hoard of small
sunfish that seemed to like whatever we used for bait. Hennens new
fishing rig is equipped with an electric trolling motor with a remote
control and features an anchoring GPS system that holds the boat
in place without using the traditional anchor. Its a neat piece of
equipment and Im planning to put one on my wish list for Christmas! On Saturday Daryl and his son, Brad, Vanna, and myself fished
Mink, beginning about 7:15 a.m. I hadnt fished that lake since it
partially froze out. The sunfish limit is five and we didnt even come
close in the roughly four hours we were on the lake. We found out
trolling slowly along the weedline in six to seven feet of water was
the most productive. Fishing activity on the lake started to pick up
about 10 a.m. with some casting for bass, others trolling for whatever, and some, like us, moving slowly for sunfish. Daryl caught a
mixed bag of sunfish, small bass, and a 25 1/4-inch Northern. His
Northern was too large to keep (24- to 36-inchers need to be re-

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
by Sgt. Neil Dickenson
Minnesota State Patrol

Question: I was wondering

if it is illegal to have the ball
hitch in the receiver of my truck
if I am not pulling any trailers at
that time? Also is it illegal to
have more than one ball on my
bumper?
Answer: No, it is not illegal
to have a ball hitch in the receiver of a truck when not
pulling a trailer at that time. It is
not illegal to have more than one
ball hitch on the bumper. But
with that being said, you need to
be aware that multiple ball
hitches on the bumper could obstruct the rear license plate. According to Minnesota State
Statute 169.79 Subd. 7 All
plates must be (1) securely fastened so as to prevent them from
swinging, (2) displayed horizontally with the identifying numbers and letters facing outward
from the vehicle, and (3)
mounted in the upright position.
The person driving the motor vehicle shall keep the plate legible

and unobstructed and free from

grease, dust, or other blurring
material so that the lettering is
plainly visible at all times. It is
unlawful to cover any assigned
letters and numbers or the name
of the state of origin of a license
plate with any material whatever,
including any clear or colorless
material that affects the plate's
visibility or reflectivity.
The ball hitch needs to be a
device approved by the commissioner of public safety. The ball
hitch must be of sufficient
strength to control a trailer. A
ball hitch attached to the receiver
can have the receiver detached
and removed when not in use, especially if it is causing an obstruction.
If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your
questions to Sgt. Neil Dickenson
Minnesota State Patrol at 1131
Mesaba Ave, Duluth, MN 55811.

Single car accident, Bishop Ave.

Greased
Landings
by Kent Peterson - N55623
When Larry Rosine was tinkering with remote-controlled
airplanes in his youth, he was
already obviously hooked on
aviation. After high school he
had dreams of flying in the Air
Force, and in college at the U of
MN, enrolled in the Air Force
ROTC program.But, the Air
Force requires that their pilots
have excellent vision, and he
was disappointed to learn that
he didnt qualify for ROTC
flight training.
Larry met and married Carole Heliker and his new fatherin-law, WWII aviation veteran
Bob Heliker, took him for a
flight in his Mooney. At that
point, Larry must have known
he married the right young lady;
Carole was a nice, attractive
woman with a Dad who owned
a plane! Soon, the young couple
had a family to support and
more important responsibilities,
and although he was itching to
earn his private pilots license,
Larrys flying lessons would
have to wait.
Finally it was time, and in
1986 Larry began flight lessons
at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden
Prairie, flying a Cessna 152
with an instructor from Classic
Aviation.
Lessons
were
squeaked in during lunch breaks
at work and after work, and he
earned his ticket in April
1987. He then rented Cessna
152 and 172 planes at Anoka
Airport and Gateway Airport off
Hwy. 10, building time and ex-

perience. But previous renters

sometimes leave popcorn on the
floor, a tire low of air, an engine
low of oil, or other frustrating
surprises. And, did anything
else happen to the aircraft that
he didnt know about?
It was time to buy their own
plane, and in 1988 he and Carole bought a four passenger
Cessna 172. After owning it for
about a year, they upgraded to a
more powerful, roomier Cessna
182, which they still own and
hangar at Maple Lake Municipal Airport. The plane was purchased in Michigan through
Maple Lakes legendary aircraft
salesman, Les Hubbell. The
flight back from Michigan to
Maple Lake is still a memory
for Larry, as he struggled to
keep up with Les who was flying ahead, and the crossing of
fifty miles of Lake Michigan!
Uffda.
Today, he and Carole fly for
pleasure, and Larry often flies
young people in the Maple Lake
EAA Chapter 878 Young Eagles
Program.
He has flown to Oshkosh
AirVenture five times, the
largest aviation event in the
U.S.; 10,000 planes and
500,000 aviation fans, held this
year in Oshkosh, Wisconsin
July 20-26. Its a great family
adventure, its more fun than the
State Fair, and you wont gain
as much weight!
Until next month, stay out of
the trees!

leased). The Northern gave him a run for his money on the light
tackle he was using, and without a landing net all he could do was
wear the fish down. The sunfish we kept were nice and didnt seem
to have black spots on them like some of those in Maple.

I saw my first covey of eight chicks and the hen pheasant in Ney
Park Friday while walking with Vanna. We were both surprised
when they all flew out of some tall grass. Apparently they had
hatched early as the young birds didnt have a problem flying. Vanna
got excited when the hen jumped and started peep, peep, peeping,
but she didnt run after it. Im hoping that means shes a rooster only
dog! Charles Galles told me Sunday he saw a hen turkey and her
brood just off a road and I suspect the birds will all become more
visible as they get larger and move around for food. . . I had
about two inches of rain by 9 a.m. Monday which was a huge boost
to farm crops and, of course, the many gardens (vegetables and
flowers) and lawns in ML.

County Board
continued from page 1
The majority of the patrols
are done on weekends with the
most used lakes, including Lake
Sylvia, Pleasant Lake, Clearwater Lake and Bertram Chain of
Lakes. However, they do patrol
smaller lakes and answer citizen
calls concerning dangerous activities on all county lakes.
The key to the patrol division
is educating boaters on safety on
the lakes and that starts with the
most basic element, wearing life
jackets. While children are required to wear life vests at all
time in boats, adults arent required to wear them, but the
sheriffs department strongly
recommends wearing them,
even though their plea often falls
on deaf ears.
Life jackets are huge, Johnson said. Some people are really unaware how important it is
to wear the life jacket in case
something were to happen. They
often think if something does

happen, they can just put them

on so they tend not to wear them
when its nice out and is really
hot.
The safety issues the sheriffs
department face are excessive
speed and boating too closely to
people and other boats. The
prime offender is the jet ski,
which goes very fast and can
create safety issues.
The biggest complaint we
get involve jet skis, Johnson
said. By far, thats the No. 1
complaint. Jet skis have different
restrictions than most boats do.
Theyre required to stay 150 feet
from shore and any other object
like docks or boats. We get them
too close to swimmers, boats
and docks and it can be potentially dangerous. The majority of
calls for service we get involve
jet skis.
For the most part, people adhere to the laws of the lakes and
are mindful that theyre sharing

the water with others, which

makes the sheriffs departments
job much easier.
When it comes down to it,
about 95 percent of boaters are
conscientious and do the right
thing, Johnson said. Its that
other 5 percent that we deal
with. Its just about education
and knowing the laws of the
water. Were not just out there to
enforce laws. Were out to educate.
With the precautions being
taken to assure safety, one that
may be lost on many boaters is
having a knowledge of the lake
theyre boating on. The Department of Natural Resources has
maps of Minnesota lakes on its
website to show the depth of
water in specific areas to help
assure safety that potentially
could prevent both damage and
injury.
The most important safety
tip is to make sure you know the

lake youre on, Johnson said.

Some of these lakes get real
shallow really fast. There are
areas that look like theyre safe,
but if you dont know those
areas, you can do some damage
to your boat and potentially have
serious injuries.
Over the next couple of
months, area lakes will be teeming with activity. The sheriffs
departments water division isnt
looking to restrict the fun, but
simply maintain safety so everyone enjoying the water will get
the most out of the experience.
The important thing is that,
over the next couple of months,
there are going to be a lot people
out on the water, Hagerty said.
Everyone goes to the water to
have a good time. Its our job to
make sure that the public is safe
out there and can leave the lake
having had a pleasurable day
and a good time with their family and friends.

Dinius, 75, karate kicked
three cancers without chemo or
radiation treatment and then, in
only five years, earned his firstdegree black belt.
His inspiring story all started
when Dinius couldnt find anything interesting on TV. It was
that awkward season between
summer softball and college basketball when Dinius decided he
didnt want to become that old
couch potato he was on the path
to be.
The average 69-year-old cancer survivor would ponder ideas
of crafting or gardening, but
Dinius was more drawn to the
physically demanding sport of
karate.
I wasnt doing much besides
just sitting around, so I thought I
should just give it a try, Dinius
said. You dont know if you
dont try.
An advertisement for the
Dojo Karate Studio in Monticello jumped out at him in the
newspaper, so he thought what
can I lose.
While Dinius watched the
younger classes excel at the
sport, he couldnt help but wonder, What in the world did I get
myself into?
But the instructor (Len

Zepeda) kept telling me to not

pay attention to them, he said.
He didnt expect me to keep up
with the young students because
he said everyone goes at their
own pace.
Dinius takes classes four
times a week with junior high
students, high school students,
and 20-year-olds. He has to work
twice as hard just to keep up with
the younger students.
Throughout the five years,
every so often, the physical and
mental demands of karate got the
best of him, but he never gave
up.
There were many times I
didnt believe I could do it, he
said. I just walked away and
went home, but each time
Zepeda kept telling me, you can
do it, Ray, you can do it.
For Dinius, it wasnt only
karate; it was an exercise that
kept him healthy and young.
I see these old people with
canes and I am 75 years old
thinking I must look young,
he said. People just assume I am
way younger than I really am because of how healthy I am now.
His doctor at the Minneapolis
VA Health Care System told him
that people at his age usually sit
around and dont do anything.
Even when Dinius was diagnosed with cancer the third time,
he continued fighting with support from his family and
Zepeda.
With cancer, karate helps a
lot because it gets you up and
gets your body moving, he said.

It builds your strength and confidence.

Dinius lives with the motto
that there is life even after being
diagnosed with cancer.
Sixteen years ago, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and
had to have his prostate removed. Dinius was fortunate
enough to not have to do any
chemo or radiation treatment due
to the cancer not returning.
Although seven years later,
Dinius doctor found five traces
of cancer in his colon.
It was caught early enough
where they could just remove the
cancer and didnt have to do any
radiation treatment, he said.
Shortly after starting karate,
Dinius was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Luckily, he was just
given weekly medication for
treatment and still didnt have to
do any chemo or radiation.
I was just lucky that none of
my cancers returned over the
years and I am not going to live
scared that they might, he said.
Dinius heard stories of cancer
patients who, after getting diagnosed, went home to give up, or
young people who never pushed
themselves to do anything.
They just give up, he said,
I have had cancer three times
and I still have found life after
each time because, if I didnt, I
know I wouldnt be here today. I
am confident that I can do anything that I set my mind to.
Dinius received his first-degree black belt March 7 at the
Convention Center in downtown

Ray Dinius wants to spread

the word that you can do
anything you put your mind
to. He is living proof, having survived three cancers
and earning his black belt
in karate. (Photo submitted)
Minneapolis. His next goals are
to continue his training at the
Dojo Karate Studio and receive
his second-degree black belt.
I am still in good health, I
enjoy life, I spent all this money
and a second-degree will only
take me another two years to
do, he said. So there is no reason for me not to get it.
Dinius is hoping to get his inspirational story printed in newspapers from all 50 states. His
dream is to motivate as many
people as he can.
I hope people will pass on
the message that youre never
too old to do anything and that
you can do anything as long as
you never give up, he 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!

Red, white and blue reigned in Maries Library Storytime

Red, white and blue reigned in
Maries Library Storytime on
Tuesday, June 30. Thirty-four
children and 16 adults dressed in
the American flag colors to celebrate our countrys birthday at the
McHugh Building. The morning

started with a fun lesson on zoo

animals, which is one of the
group of animals the children are
learning about this summer at
storytime. They shared many toy
zoo animals from home, listened
to a story about Curious George

at the Zoo, and learned some fun

zoo songs that had them moving
and sounding like a huge zoo had
entered the building. Then they
were given a picture of some zoo
animals to color, followed by a
group picture and a snack of zoo

animal crackers. After the animal session, the children were

given patriotic visors and pinwheels to wave during our annual
4th of July Parade down Birch
Ave. The storytime children were
joined by the Books with Boone

children, Lisa and Boone for the

parade. This was Boones first
holiday parade. Everyone had a
great time waving to the local
merchants who were gracious
enough to step out onto the sidewalk to cheer the parade as they

walked by. Thanks to all the

Birch Avenue merchants, the
adults who accompanied the children, and the children of both
Tuesday reading programs for
helping to get the 4th of July holiday off to a great start.

These children attended Maries storytime on June 30: Isabelle and Gunnar Melgaard, Peytyn and Colten Draeger, Mason Thomas, Ryder Dettwiler, Payton, Lucas and Noah
Schwindel, Tessa Dahl, Hazel Jacobson, Carter Ertel, Charlie and Tauren Peterson, Clark and Oliver Hawkinson, Joey Farniok, Ellie Ogram, Elijah Dorse, Alexandra, Jackson

The Books with Boone bunch learned about the work of therapy dogs like Boone as they listened to the story of
Ben, The Very Best Furry Friend by Holly Raus on Tuesday, July 7. They reviewed what they heard in a bean bag
tossing game, and took turns reading a library book to Boone, who is a very good listener.
While waiting for their turns with Boone, the young readers completed a Ben word scramble and worked on the
journals theyve been keeping every week.
Pictured above is Carter and Allie Ertel writing in their journals and Danica Hageman reading to Boone.

Lakers take the win against Buffalo

By Matt Brown
Sports Writer

The Maple Lake Lakers took

the Fourth of July weekend off,
giving the team some time to recover and rejuvenate after completing 23 of their 34 scheduled
regular-season games. Maple
Lake sits atop the North Star
League standings with a 13-1
record, 2.5 games ahead of
Hutchinson. The Lakers are riding a 19-game winning streak
fueled by excellent pitching, opportunistic offense, and stout defense.
As a unit the Laker pitching
staff has pitched 183 innings,
giving up 119 hits, 49 walks, and
33 Earned Runs while collecting
196 strikeouts. Of the 119 hits
given up, only 14 were for extra
bases. The team ERA is 1.62 and
team WHIP is 0.92 with 11 complete games and four shut-outs.
Jeremy Schmidt and Mitch
Wurm have done a lot of the

heavy lifting, combining for 96

innings pitched, but the depth of
the pitching staff is what sets it
apart from other top staffs.
The Laker offense has been
very effective this year, posting
a combined .310 team ERA,
with 226 hits, 174 runs, and 136
RBIs while striking out only 69
times. The team has shown
speed and power, tallying 42
extra-base hits and stealing 34
bases. Luke Fobbe is leading
most offensive statistical categories while Matt Bergstrom
leads the North Star League in
game-winning RBIs.
The Maple Lake defense has
given up four or more runs only
five times, with no team scoring
more than nine. The defense has
allowed 13 unearned runs in 23
games, very respectable for
town ball. The outfield is
stacked with speed and the infield is not afraid to dive for a
ball, both major factors in the

2015 National League AllStars: Plattners Picks
A few weeks back, we
checked out Plattners Picks for
the 2015 American League AllStar squad. With the All-Star
game set for Tuesday, July 14th,
in Cincinnati, here are my 2015
National League All-Stars.
2B Dee Gordon MIA:
.339, 1 HR, 21 RBI, 29 SB and
43 R. Gordon can flat out make
things happen. He leads the majors with 116 hits and his 29

stolen bases are second best. He

is one of the purest table setters
in the game today.
OF Andrew McCutchen
PIT: .298, 10 HR, 51 RBI, 5 SB,
and 43 R. The former MVP is
healthy again and has the Pirates
positioned for another post-season bid. McCutchen, a joy to
watch, is amongst the most
complete players in the majors.
OF Bryce Harper WSH:
.347, 25 HR, 60 RBI, 3 SB, and
57 R. At just 22 years old,

low number of extra base hits allowed this season.

Buffalo 2
Maple Lake 15
Before the break, Maple
Lake hosted Buffalo on Wednesday night in what was a rematch of the Hinckley
Tournament
championship
played the previous Sunday.
Like the previous game, this one
went seven innings. Unlike the
previous game, this contest was
not close.
Todd Fuller got his first start
of the season and made quick
work of Buffalos lineup. Fuller
threw six shutout innings before
giving up two in the seventh.
He finished the game giving up
one hit, four walks, and two
earned runs with five strikeouts.

year that would see him belt 50

Ted Williams, and Lou Gehrig.
Not bad company to be in.
1B Paul Goldschmidt
ARI: .348, 20 HR, 67 RBI, 15
SB, and 58 R. For those who
thought Goldschmidt peaked in
2013 (.302, 36 HR, 125 RBI),
think again. At 27 years old, he
continues to improve and could
establish career highs in all three
of the above categories, pacing

Legal Notices
Legal Notice - City of Maple Lake 2014 Drinking Water Report
The City of Maple Lake is issuing
the results of monitoring done on its
drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2014. The purpose of this report is to advance
consumers understanding of drinking
water and heighten awareness of the
need to protect precious water resources.
Source of Water
The City of Maple Lake provides
drinking water to its residents from a
groundwater source: two wells ranging
from 167 to 172 feet deep, that draw
water from the Quaternary Buried Artesian aquifer.
The Minnesota Department of
Health has made a determination as to
how vulnerable our systems source(s)
of water may be to future contamination
incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire
source water assessment regarding your
drinking water, please call 651-2014700 or 1-800-818-9318 (and press 5)
during normal business hours. Also you
can view it online at www.health.state.
mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa.
Call 320-963-3738 if you have
questions about the City of Maple
Lake drinking water or would like information about opportunities for
public participation in decisions that
may affect the quality of the water.
Results of Monitoring
No contaminants were detected at
levels that violated federal drinking
water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace
amounts that were below legal limits.
The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace
amounts last year. (Some contaminants
are sampled less frequently than once a
year; as a result, not all contaminants
were sampled for in 2014. If any of these
contaminants were detected the last time
they were sampled for, they are included
in the table along with the date that the
detection occurred.)
Key to abbreviations:
MCLG - Maximum Contaminant
Level Goal: The level of a contaminant
in drinking water below which there is
no known or expected risk to health.
MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MCL - Maximum Contaminant
Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.
MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as

feasible using the best available treatment technology.

MRDL - Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level.
MRDLG - Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal.
AL - Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other
requirement which a water system must
follow.
90th Percentile Level - This is the
value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the
highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 samples were taken, the
90th percentile level is determined by
disregarding the highest result, which
represents 10 percent of the samples.)
Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two
with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level.
ppb - Parts per billion, which can
also be expressed as micrograms per
liter (ug/l).
ppm - Parts per million, which can
also be expressed as milligrams per liter
(mg/l).
N/A - Not Applicable (does not
apply).
If present, elevated levels of lead
can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and
young children. Lead in drinking water
is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and
home plumbing. The City of Maple
Lake is responsible for providing high
quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in
plumbing components. When your
water has been sitting for several hours,
you can minimize the potential for lead
exposure by flushing your tap for 30
seconds to 2 minutes before using water
for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you
may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water,
testing methods, and steps you can take
to minimize exposure is available from
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at
http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Monitoring may have been done for
additional contaminants that do not have
MCLs established for them and are not
required to be monitored under the Safe
Drinking Water Act. Results may be
available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-

ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring

minerals and, in some cases, radioactive
material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or
from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in
source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as
viruses and bacteria, which may come
from sewage treatment plants, septic

systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as
salts and metals, which can be naturallyoccurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic
wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which
may come from a variety of sources such
as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff
and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic
chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas
stations, urban stormwater runoff and
septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which
can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining
activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is
safe to drink, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by
public water systems. Food and Drug
Administration regulations establish
limits for contaminants in bottled water
which must provide the same protection
for public health.

Drinking water, including bottled

water, may reasonably be expected to
contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that
water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential
health effects can be obtained by calling
the Environmental Protection Agencys
Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800426-4791.
Some people may be more vulnerable
to contaminants in drinking water than
the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with
cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/ AIDS or other
immune system disorders, some elderly,
and infants can be particularly at risk
from infections. These people should
seek advice about drinking water from
their health care providers. EPA/CDC
guidelines on appropriate means to
lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-4264791.

The Catch
continued from page 7
OF Giancarlo Stanton
MIA: .265, 27 HR, 67 RBI, 4
SB, and 47 R. Stanton is pure
power. Of the major leagues 11
longest home runs this season,
he owns six of them and has hit
seven over 450 feet. Its a shame
hes on the disabled list and may
miss the festivities of All-Star
weekend.
C Buster Posey SF: .304,
14 HR, 57 RBI, 1 SB, and 44 R.
You wont find a better catcher
in the game. Posey is everything

Twins fans wish Joe Mauer was

(even though hes no longer a
catcher). He hits for a high average and has nice pop in his
swing.
3B Todd Frazier CIN:
.285, 25 HR, 54 RBI, 8 SB, and
54 R. After a break-out 2014
(.273, 29 HR, 80 RBI), Frazier
is quietly putting together an excellent 2015 that has him
headed north of 50 HR and 110
RBI. It appears hes surpassed
Joey Votto as the most danger-

SS Troy Tulowitzki COL:
.321, 9 HR, 44 RBI, and 43 R.
When healthy, Tulo is the best
offensive shortstop in the game.
Hitting in the thin Denver air of
Coors Field doesnt hurt either.
He looks for his seventh career
season of .290+ and at least 20
HR.
SP Max Scherzer WSH:
9-6, 1.82. ERA, 0.78 WHIP, and
10.54 K/9 innings. Several worthy candidates to choose from
here, but obviously Im going to
back my preseason Cy Young
favorite. Scherzer threw a nohitter on June 20th and has
given up just 11 hits over his last
