American Legion
Auxiliary Poppy
Program
It is time once again for the
yearly Poppy Campaign in Maple
Lake. Please support the members who will be offering the
poppy to demonstrate support for
our veterans. Each poppy is handmade by a veteran who benefits
from the proceedings. The proceeds from this campaign must
be used only for our veteran programs. The auxiliary has sponsored the fishing and hunting
days for the St. Cloud Veterans
Administration patients, along
with sending Christmas gifts and
homemade blankets. Easter boxes
were sednt to local servicemen
and women on active duty. This
year we will be stationed at
Rogers BP Amoco, H&H Sports
and Lake Region Cenex on Friday, May 13, and Saturday, May
14. On Poppy Days, take a poppy,
wear or display it proudly and

Sparked by a donated auction

basket at last years event, St.
Timothys 19th Annual Spring
Fundraiser was a real trip to the
Winners Circle. There was so
much excitement around (last
years) Kentucky Derby basket
that we decided to run with it for
this years theme, said Brandi
Brandstrom, who co-chaired this
years event with Laura Warner.
We even encouraged the ladies
to wear big, fancy hats and had a
best hat contest- Shannon Paumen was the winner, her hat was
homemade and fantastic!
Saturday nights event, held
this year at The V by HH, ran
with the theme by serving a Kentucky Derby dinner to 300+
guests. It was beyond standing
room only, there wasnt an open
seat in the house, said Brandstrom. We were served bourbon
beef and Cajun shrimp with
pecan and mint julep pie for
dessert. The food was amazing.
The fundraising portion of the
evening boasted nearly 100 silent
auction items and 60 live auction
items, auctioned again by local
auctioneer, Frank Sullivan.
Frank Sullivan and company
were wonderful, said Brandstrom. They really ran the show
and kept everything hopping.

Serving a delicious meal of Bourbon Beef Tenderloin,

Cajun Shrimp and all the fixings were Rachel and Mark
Pribyl, and Jeani and Hans Melgaard. Being served was
Rose Wurm from Maple Lake. 300 dinners were served
with catering by Harney Heeralall from The V by HH.

Members of Maple Lakes VFW Auxiliary delivered 12

pairs of brand new Nike shoes to the Eagles Healing Nest,
a veterans home in Sauk Centre recently. Above, from left,

Life after a war is certainly

not a walk in the park, its more
of an exhausting, uphill journey.
This spring some of Americas veterans will have a slightly
more comfortable walk thanks to
Jane Decker, whose efforts to
collect Coca Cola Rewards
Points has provided a dozen new
pairs of Nike shoes for struggling
veterans.
Earlier this month, Decker,
with the help of Cyndy Moelter,
both members of the Maple Lake
VFW Ladies Auxiliary, now
called just the Auxiliary, delivered the shoes to Eagles Healing
Nest in Sauk Centre.
I think they should walk in
new shoes because I would never
have wanted to walk in theirs,
Decker said.
It all started about three years
ago with Deckers nephew,
Logan Decker, now a senior at
Buffalo High School, who was
collecting Coke Reward Points
for a pair of shoes for himself.
Decker decided to help him out
by collecting points of her own,
which she would then give to
him, but it takes a long time to
collect enough points for a new
pair of Nikes, and after a while

he became disinterested.
I was going to give him my
points, then I thought, shoot, they
dont care anymore, Im going to
do this for veterans, Decker
said.
At first she cashed in the
points for t-shirts because it took
less points to acquire them, but
she really liked the idea of giving
the veterans a new pair of shoes.
She was encouraged when she
found Nikes had gone down in
price and if she shopped around,
she could find them on clearance
for as little as $30 or $40.
After a few months of collecting, she had enough points to buy
some shoes and she requested an
e-card for the Nike store. The ecards come in the form of an
email which she took to the Nike
store in Albertville and combed
the clearance rack. That was
back in January. Then this spring,
she purchased the remaining
pairs.
In total, she earned $269 in
Coke Reward Points and she figures she bought about $800
worth of shoes with that thanks
to sales and clearance racks. She
only spent $9 of her own money
on the entire purchase.

Farmers
Market coming
to Maple Lake
The City of Maple Lake is
planning to open a farmers market this summer.
The market will be located at
the city lot in downtown Maple
Lake at Division Street and Birch
Avenue.
The market will be a fun, upbeat, welcoming gathering place
for residents to buy fresh, quality,
locally grown produce, eggs,
meats, specialty foods, and local
arts and crafts. Healthy living will
be promoted. Local farmers, and
local artisans/crafters will have a
market to sell their products directly to the public, and also provide initiative to spur economic
development.
There is a need for a volunteer
manager for the farmers market.
Experience with farmers markets
would be helpful, since this is a
new venture.
Tentative start date is June 1,
times to be decided. Local vendors are also needed. Volunteers
are needed for working committees for start-up activities and assisting the market manager.

Resource Training & Solutions

While each of you have

achieved excellence in the classroom, arts, co-curricular activities and volunteerism, it is the
WHY effort behind the results
that matters, said Ron Wilke,
presiding superintendent at the
Students of Excellence Banquet
and Recognition ceremony. The
event was Wednesday, April 27,
at the Rivers Edge Convention
Center in St. Cloud. Never lose
sight of WHY you do the hard
work, he added.
As the crowd of 550 gathered
prior to the event, students, parents and teachers greeted one another and visited about spring
activities, upcoming graduation

and college plans. But mainly

the atmosphere was filled with
warmth and laughter.
The evenings presentations
began with Mark Schmitz, executive director of Resource Training & Solutions, welcoming
everyone to the 29th annual
event. Schmitz quoted Winston
Churchill saying success is
going from failure to failure
without the loss of enthusiasm.
You are here because you get to
experience the success of all
your hard work tonight. Certainly along the way, there have
been challenges. Some easier,
some harder than others. But,
you did not let that stop you
from excelling. Keep up your
enthusiasm as you head off to

college and face new challenges, Schmitz said.

With humor and a powerful
message, keynote speaker Willow Sweeney, challenged students to think about how they
feel on a good day when everything is going great. Embrace
those good day habits and
choose them every day. It can
be easy to go down the negative
thoughts and actions road,
Sweeney said. Make TLC your
banner. T for thinking effectively, L for learning efficiently
and well, and the big C for communicating with others in a way
that lets them know they matter, she continued.

Brutes
Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
After a couple of comments about seeing families of Canada geese
with newly-hatched goslings, I paid special attention to a pair in the
pond just west of Varner Lake Sunday and spotted their offsprings
following them. There are numerous species, both domestic and
wild, and I gave the internet a quick look and learned they are more
than numerous. I also learned that Geese are bred mainly for their
meat, which is particularly popular in Germanic language countries
around Christmas. Of lesser commercial importance is goose breeding for eggs, schmaltz, or for the fattened liver (foie gras). A few
specialized breeds have been created for the main purpose of weed
control (e.g. the Cotton Patch Goose), or as guard animals and (in
former times) for goose fights (e.g., the Steinbach Fighting Goose
and Tula Fighting Goose). Both of my parents came from German
backgrounds and a goose dinner on Christmas seemed to be a tradition with them. I can also remember my mother talking about using
geese for weed control in the garden as well as us kids (the geese
were more effective). She also liked to tell about rescuing me from
a mean gander that was beating the daylights out of me with its
wings and beak. I was about two years old at the time and dont recall a thing! . . .

Vanna and I are seeing a lot of birds in Ney Park that seem especially interested in the new bluebird houses that have been installed
along one of the trails. Its probably part of an effort to bring back
bluebirds in Minnesota. I assumed the birds we were seeing were
the real thing, but an authority on birds, Richard Demars, suggested

The Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
Bugs. Spring is about bugs.
It's been a couple weeks since
the first suicidal bugs of the year
flew into my windshield.
Not that we haven't had bugs
in the winter. Every other year
we get Asian beetles in the
house. Boxelder bugs take the
non-Asian years. They all wear
black and orange shells. One
year the Asians decided to multiply behind the cover of a window air conditioner, and
through sheer mass of numbers
managed to squeeze into the
house. I took the air conditioner
out and latched the window, but
they located a crack in the tuckunder basement door.

Then we got ants. One year

they found a spot by the fireplace that hadn't been caulked
and tried to take possession of
the cupboard. The attack took
place in March as I remember,
way too early for ants. They
were little brown ones. When
they appeared, the beetles left.
Evidently the beetles don't like
ants either.
This year, the ants drove out
the beetles once again. Black
ants this time. Tiny ones. They
showed up in the bathroom sink
and in the cabinet where I keep
my mouthwash. Clever detective work convinced me they
liked my mouthwash, but not

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: When there is a
vehicle mishap, it is reported to
the public that alcohol did or
did not play a part. What about
a cell phone? Also, there is
never any mention that drugs
did or did not play a part in the
mishap. With the known widespread availability/use of
drugs, shouldn't this also be a
determination in a vehicle
mishap?
Answer: Good question. All
possible factors that contribute
to a crash are investigated, but
not all pieces of the investigation are initially public. Per
public and private data laws,
law enforcement is required to
provide public data to the public and media as requested.
Some of the public data information that law enforcement

they might be swallows which are similar looking and have some
blue feathers. He said swallows have a forked tail. He suggested
binoculars. The internet says, Bluebirds are a symbol of happiness.
They like to eat meal worms at bird feeders. Male bluebirds are
much more brightly colored than females. Although sighting a bluebird is considered an early sign of spring, a few usually linger until
late December and some return as early as February. They can be
found in all of the counties in Minnesota . .
. We also got
to talking about yellow-winged blackbirds which are not as prevalent
as the red-winged variety. We agreed the place to look was in
swampy areas.

My Florida connection, Mike Muller, called Saturday to let me
know there was still time for George Palmer and myself to come
down for fishing before he comes back in mid-May. He whetted my
fishing appetite with a tale about the four of them, guide, Jesse, a
relative,Lenny, and his fiance, Bonnie, and himself, catching 124
Shell Crackers that day with some of them going a pound. They also
caught some catfish and another specie which escapes me. He said
they fished with live crickets and used up something like 300 that
day. . .

Catching grasshoppers were part of the sunfish fishing trip ritual
a friend of the family used to take me and my brothers on to East
Battle Lake when we were kids. They were effective bait, both for
sunfish, crappies and an occasional bass. Pasture grass or short alfalfa were good places to find grasshoppers. I havent been out fishing since the cooler weather showed up, but hope to get out
Wednesday. .
. In the meantime, Ive been hacking away at
the honey-do list and I noticed Sunday most of the lawns on my
block have been mowed except mine. I gave that a try late Sunday,
but was forced to quit when I discovered I hadnt purchased any
gasoline since last fall. . . Its also time to think about looking
for Morel mushrooms and, with all the rain weve had, there should
be a good crop this year!

the other mouthwash next to it.

Wife and I washed a thousand
little black ants down the sink,
and caught some wanderers in a
few other places. Where they
got in is still a mystery. It's the
first good cleaning that cabinet
has had in years.
It reminds me of the St. Paul
Winter Carnival. Funny-looking
people dress in furs and celebrate ice and snow. After they
have their fun, here comes Vulcan with warmth and other
funny-looking people in black
and red who drive away the
snow and bring back warm
weather. Then they all go away
until the next year. Here, beetles
celebrate the winter inside, and
ants come to drive them out and
bring on warm weather. Obviously, bugs have been reading
the St. Paul paper. The bugs
don't go away until next year,
though. They go outside to mess
up my lawn.

Mice are a spring thing, too.

So far, two have met an untimely end as they attempted to
take refuge inside to get out of
the rain. We learned that they
don't like mint, so we bought
some stuff that smells good to
us but bad to them. The two fatalities apparently had developed bad noses or were deeply
averse to wet weather.
What we need are outdoor
types of mice who hate bugs of
all kinds. I would be happy to
let a mouse or two in for an
evening if it promised to go outside to sleep and eat after dispatching all our ants and
beetles.
If we had any trouble with
that arrangement, the other day
a cat came by and asked to come
in. That threat would be enough
to guarantee our understanding.
Of course, the cat would have to
agree to a few rules as well. We
don't have a cat box.

Case number.
Healthcare facilities victim
is taken to.
Seat belts worn.
Blood alcohol concentration, if known at the time of the
request.
Driving under the influence
and distracted driving are
major contributing factors in
fatal and serious injury crashes
in Minnesota. Driving under
the influence is not only an alcohol-related crime, it also includes illegal and abused
prescription drugs, or taken in
combination with alcohol.
If controlled substance impairment is suspected, a blood
or urine test will be taken by
search warrant by the officer.
That sample is sent to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension
(BCA) for analysis that will
show if drugs/alcohol were in
the drivers system and the
amount at the time of the incident. The analysis can take up
to six weeks. As a result we
cannot report drug impairment,
apart from suspicion, until the

results are returned from the

lab.
Alleged distracted driving
crashes take time, especially
when processing data to see
how a cell phone may have
played a part in the crash. A serious and fatal crash investigation will take a number of
weeks to months to complete.
All possible contributing factors will be examined to determine why the crash occurred.
Please dont drive while
under the influence and try to
avoid or limit all distractions
while driving.

Dear Editor,
I was glad to see Loretta
Schuts letter last week. In
todays atmosphere of political
correctness it takes courage to
express ones opinion and stand
up against a liberals idea of
what is right. While these people
preach tolerance they do not tolerate an opposing view. Logic
also has no credibility with them
since only feelings matter. I presume the individuals that
Loretta is talking about have,
through the years, been able to
take care of their personal needs.
Of the .3% I doubt that all felt
uncomfortable, but now a good

portion of the 99.7% of the population may feel uncomfortable.

Might a law as passed by North
Carolina not only protect children, but maybe the transgenders as well? We all know that
not everyone is tolerant of people who are different, so why
start a fire? We can solve this by
saying, if you can physically use
a urinal as intended, you are in
the right place. If not, try the
next door. Loretta may or may
not approve of this letter, but I
applaud her for standing up and
speaking out. As for me, if I offended anyone, get over it.

County medical examiner conducted Prince autopsy

by John Holler
Correspondent

For years, Dr. Quinn Strobl

has appeared before the Wright
County Board of Commissioners
to give the board an annual report
of the deaths that occurred in the
county the previous year. In
2016, however, the eyes of the
world will be on the chief medical examiner/coroner of the
Midwest Medical Examiners office.
Strobl appeared before the

county board at its April 26 meeting for an agenda item that had
been set weeks earlier, but, given
the scope of the Midwest Medical Examiners office, Strobl and
her staff are the contracted medical examiner for 19 counties in
the state. It not only includes
Wright County, but also Carver
County, where Strobl and her
staff conducted the autopsy of
music icon Prince, the results of
which are expected in the next
couple of weeks.

Whether its the death of a

farmer in a rural area or a rock
and roll legend, Strobl said all autopsies are conducted the same.
Our office investigates
deaths that fall under the medical
examiners jurisdiction or have to
be reported to the medical examiner, Strobl said.
While the death of a worldwide celebrity is going to draw a
lot of attention for Strobls office,
it is just another in a long line of
dead bodies that come to her of-

fice with law enforcement and

family members looking for a definitive cause of death.
In 2015, the medical examiner
conducted 49 autopsies on the
481 deaths that occurred in
Wright County. Of those, the majority were for medical reasons
like heart attacks and strokes. The
largest number of autopsies, unfortunately, were conducted following suicides.

Star Bank brought its voice to the Capitol

during ICBA Washington Policy Summit
Over 1,000 community
bankers and industry advocates
gathered in Washington for the
Independent Community Bankers
of America (ICBA) annual
Washington Policy Summitrecently. Harry Wahlquist, president/CEO of Star Bank, met with
regulators and members of Congress to discuss key issues affecting community banks and local
economies, including regulatory
relief, credit unions, data security
and crop insurance.
In addition to meeting with
policymakers, Wahlquist heard
remarks from Senate Banking
Committee member Jerry Moran
(R-Kan.) and University of Virginia Center for Politics founder
Larry Sabato. Community
bankers also met with the directors of key regulatory agencies,
including Federal Deposit Insur-

ance Corp. Chairman Martin Gruenberg, Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry, and
Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau Director Richard Cordray.
In meetings with Congress,
community bankers advocated:
Tiered and proportionate regulation under ICBAs Plan for
Prosperity regulatory relief platform, including via the CLEAR
Relief Act (S. 812/H.R. 1233),
CLEAR Relief Plus Act (S. 927),
Community Bank Access to Capital Act (H.R. 1523), Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau Examination and Reporting Threshold Act (S. 482/H.R. 4099), and
key provisions of the Financial
Regulatory Improvement Act (S.
1484),
National data-security and
data-breach-notification standards
for all payments system partici-

pants, including retailers, under

the Data Security Act (S.961/H.R.
2205),
An end to the unwarranted
taxpayer-funded subsidies for
credit unions and the Farm Credit
System, and
The preservation of the nations successful public-private
crop insurance program.
We are always proud to be
part of ICBAs Washington Policy
Summit. We look forward to
speaking and meeting with federal regulators, our members of
Congress, and fellow community
bankers from across the nation to
discuss ways in which we can
continue to best serve our customers and local communities,
said Wahlquist.
He added, ICBAs Washington Policy Summit is an annual
opportunity for community

bankers to visit the nations capitol and speak with their members
of Congress regarding crucial
community banking issues such
as regulatory relief, data and
cyber security and repealing taxpayer-funded subsidies for credit
unions and farm credit system
lenders. The regulatory relief
issue should relieve consumers of
considerable paperwork if appropriately re-designed.

priorities, visit www.icba.org.

Senior Connections Volunteer Appreciation Event

by Ginger OLoughlin
Senior Connections Coordinator

Last week over 40 visitors

showed up to celebrate generosity at the Volunteer Appreciation
party held at the M.L. Senior
Dining site. The program started
off with a fine lunch and entertainment. An assortment of folk
music by Pat and Connie Lahr
got guests dancing. Following
the hip-hop, coordinator Ginger
OLoughlin praised all present
for any volunteering they do,
and then went on to commend
those who specifically helped at
the diner.
The Meals on Wheels drivers, Diane Pruett, Jim Peterson,
John Neison, John Haack, and
Darrell Hirman, were praised
for their faithfulness and the
cost they deter. Then mentioned
were her early morning helpers,
Clarion Conzet, Judy Boltman,
and Bernie Wilson, and congregational dining transporters,
Katie Hofman and Jim Munstenteiger; substitute volunteers
recognized were Ursual Herfort
and Pat Walker.
Concluding the award ceremony, Amy Lou Burg was presented as Senior Connections

Most Benevolent Volunteer of

the Year Award for her versatility in all areas already mentioned and more, in and around
the dining site.
The highlight of the program
was when artist, Mike Bray,
gave his tear-jerking presentation regarding the awesome saddles he designed, and how he
uses them to benefit others all
over the country. His profession
in leather crafting out of Monticello supports this cause, while
his wife, Wren, is a full-time
foster in-home caregiver for
handicapped adults; both are extremely humble and motivated
through their missions to support others.
Also deserving credit are,
Bob Zimmerman for his professional photography, the Maple
Lake Messenger, Maple Lake
Floral, and sponsors, Catholic
Charities and Maple Lake Senior Connections. If you are interested in becoming involved
at the Senior Dining Site, contact,
coordinator,

Christ the King Retreat Center womens retreat

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!

With Mothers Day on Sunday and the days usually looking

more like Walleye Widow Weekend than a celebration for
mom, this year can be different. With the 2016 MN Fishing
Opener set for May 14th, many husbands and sons want to get
out on the lake as soon as possible. This year they have an excuse; its Take a Mom Fishing Weekend. Set for May 7th and
8th its a great time to show your mom (or childrens mom) how
fun fishing can be, and give her a much deserved get-away unless, of course, she prefers shopping. Any mother who is a resident of Minnesota can fish without a license on Saturday and
Sunday, May 8th and 9th, during Take a Mom Fishing Weekend. With this special event in mind, recipe entrants offer tasty
ways to fix those fish, along with precious family stories.
OWEN LUNDY S
SMOKED FISH
By Owen Lundy
Owen Lundy here to tell you
where theres some great hunting
and fishing. I came from a place
up north in a town called Bena,
located between Grand Rapids
and Bemidji. I owned 40 acres of
beautiful timberland right off of
Chippewa National Forest. Being
a retired sawmill worker I enjoyed both hunting and fishing
with my son and two daughters.
With that in mind, Id not only fry
our catch of walleye, northern,
and Red Lake crappies in a homemade seasoned cornmeal mixture, but enjoyed smoking white
fish in an old steel-lined refrigerator that I had on my acreage. It
had two racks inside making it
possible to smoke quite a few
white fish at a time. After filleting
the fish our family caught, Id
soak them overnight in a Morton
brand brine mix. Once removed
from the brine its necessary to let
the fish dry out. My smoking
arrangement was to first set a hot

plate on the bottom of my steellined refrigerator. On top of the

heated plate, Id put an old cast
iron frying pan filled with hard
maple wood. I had plenty of wood
in those days off of my 40 acres,
and being I worked in a saw-mill
there, I cut it myself. Keep in mind
that green wood works just fine. I
kept close watch on those fish,
though, because the temperature
could rise as high as 200 F. in that
fridge, and I didnt want it to exceed 160 degrees and burn the
fish. Once they turn a nice golden
brown and cracked pretty good,
theyre done. Not bragging, but
my largest catch was from St.
Lewis River in Duluth where I
caught a 48-inch Sturgeon. Even
though I hear theyre not bad eating, I had to throw it back in because of preservation restrictions.
My largest speared fish was a 23
lb. Northern, which I find even
tastier than walleye. As much as I
like Maple Lake, I sure miss those
40 acres, and the fine outdoor living I had with my wife and kids.

BAKED FISH WITH HERBS

By Kitty Winter
I have to admit, I enjoyed fishing, but not staying out on the
lake as long as Rey and my sons,
Scott and Steve, would. However,
when it came to eating their
catch, Id be the first one to invite
my neighbors over for a Villa
gathering to feast on their catch.
Id use an herb-flavored coating
that everyone loved.
INGREDIENTS:
cup oleo melted

tsp. sweet basil

2/3 cup cracker crumbs
tsp. oregano
cup parmesan cheese
tsp. garlic
Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix together the dry ingredients. Melt
the oleo in a 9/13 inch pan and tilt
so it goes to one end. Dip fish into
oleo and then into the cracker
mixture. Bake uncovered in the
same pan for 25-30 minutes.

SMOKED SALMON
FISH DIP
By Tristin Dockter, Grade 6
The reason I chose this recipe
is because it reminds me of one of
my favorite birthdays when I went
out fishing with my uncle and
grandpa. The limit was 15 fish
that year, and I caught 14 which
were all about 30 inches long.
My uncle only got one that was
barely 7 inches long, and my
grandpa only got zero. - Tristin
Dockter
INGREDIENTS:
fillet of smoked salmon
1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese
Lemon juice
(we use 5 drops)
3 drops Tabasco sauce
bag Goldfish crackers
(the extra cheese brand)

DIRECTIONS:
Grab a medium size bowl and
a buttered knife. Scrape all the
skin off the salmon and put into
the bowl. Dont forget to take the
bones out- (12 oz. prepared). Put
the cream cheese in the bowl and
mix until smooth, add the lemon
juice, and Tabasco sauce. Crush
about of the bag of the goldfish
crackers and add to creamed mixture, stir well and start dipping.
HOUSEHOLE HINTS:
How to get rid of fish smell in
house after cooking. Hang a wet
towel near the stove or oven while
your fish fries. The wet towel absorbs much of the fishy smell.
Soak your fish in milk for at least
half an hour before cooking it. Its
said to cut down on odor while
cooking it, and without changing
the flavor of the fish.

by Rev. Brauchitseh. He was

Bud also worked for Orfei and

Barbara A.
Rossberg, age
68, of Maple
Lake, died Saturday, April
30, 2016, at her
sons
home
after a long,
hard-fought battle with cancer.
Memorial services will be
held 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May
7, at the Dingmann Funeral
Care Chapel, Maple Lake, with
Rev. Gerry Bass officiating.
Burial will follow at Highland
Cemetery near Hasty. Visitation
will be held from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
on Friday, May 6, at the Dingmann Funeral Care Chapel,
Maple Lake, and one hour prior
to the service on Saturday.

Barbara Ann Rossberg was

born February 20, 1948, in Cloquet, Minnesota to Herbert and
Luetta (Ronning) Schelinder. At
the age of 16 she moved with
her family to the Monticello
area where she graduated high
school in 1966. On September
14, 1968, she was united in marriage to Maynard Rossberg at
Faith Lutheran Church, near
Monticello. While working various jobs, Barb raised her four
children. Eventually, Barb
began working for the Maple
Lake Bakery, where she worked
for over 20 years. Barb enjoyed
music, whether it be listening or
singing karaoke. She liked to
feed the birds and took a special
interest in hummingbirds. She

also enjoyed the occasional trip

to a casino. Above all, Barb
treasured the time she was able
to spend with her family, especially watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Barb is survived by her children, Allen (Jude) Rossberg, Jill
(Jamie) Dean, and Tammy (fianc, Tracy Evans) Rossberg,
all of Monticello, and Lance
Buck (Kaylene) Rossberg of
Clearwater; 17 grandchildren;
11 great-grandchildren; siblings,
Donald (Jean) Schelinder of
Oliver, WI, Robert (Linda)
Schelinder of Hasty, and Beverly (Kenny) Marquette of
Maple Lake; and nieces,
nephews, and other family
members and friends, especially

all those she greeted while

working at the bakery. Barb was
preceded in death by her parents, Herbert and Luetta; husband, Maynard; and siblings,
LeRoy and Ronald Schelinder.
Arrangements are entrusted
to Dingmann Funeral Care Burial and Cremation Services of
Maple Lake.

ment to determine the cause of

death and potentially whether
criminal charges should be filed.
She said her office is forthcoming
with information on the cases put
under their charge, with the exception of extremely high-profile
cases like that of Princes autopsy.
I can answer any questions
those unrelated to Carver County,
Strobl said.
While her office likely will
never have another autopsy for
someone as high profile as Prince,
her office will continue to investigate all deaths within its jurisdiction and attempt to provide the
answers both families and law enforcement seek to find.
In other items on the April 26
agenda, the board:
* Hosted students as part of the
countys annual Boy-Girl County
Day. The event brings high school
juniors to the county courthouse to
get a first-hand glimpse of how
county government operates. It included a short session with the

county board, as well as presentations from several county departments. This year, students
represented Dassel-Cokato, Maple
Lake and Monticello high schools.
* Authorized signatures on the
2016 Minnesota Cities Participation Program. The MCPP is a program that has been in place for
more than 20 years that offers
first-time homebuyers the opportunity to access low-interest loans.
Historically, Wright County has
not only exhausted its entire allocation every year, in most years it
has accessed funding that went unused by other counties.
* Referred discussion of setting
county assessment contract rates
to the May 11 ways and means
committee.
* Authorized sending a letter to
the Stearns County Board of Commissioners in response to a letter
from Stearns County concerning
the Clearwater River Watershed
Joint Powers Board. Stearns
County imposes term limits on

board/advisory committee members and said that, for the purposes

of uniformity, Wright and Meeker
counties co-members of the watershed board should put term
limits on its members. The board
approved sending a letter saying it
doesnt plan on putting term limit
restrictions on its board members.
* Approved a pair of appointments to the Wright County Extension Committee. Joey Hartley
was named a youth appointment
to the committee through Aug. 31,
2016. Commissioner Charlie Borrell appointed Tammi Dahlman to
represent his commissioner district. Her term will run through
Dec. 31, 2016.
* Referred discussion of elevator repairs in the county courthouse to the May 11 building
committee.
* Authorized attendance at the
next meeting of the Sauk River
Watershed Board at 3 p.m.
Wednesday, May 25, at Sauk Centre High School.

Of the 49 autopsies, 17 were
the result of suicides seven hangings, six gunshot wounds, two
drownings, one blunt force trauma
from a jump and one a combination of mixing drugs and alcohol.
Of the 17 suicides, 12 were men
and five were women.
Strobl said that, while the 2015
totals were the highest in the last
four years, the numbers tend to remain consistent within counties
and from county-to-county from
one year to the next.
If you look at the five-year
statistics, there are a little bit of
highs and a little bit of lows from
year-to-year, Strobl said. The
percentage usually remains about
the same, but it varies the peak
being 18 in 2011, followed by 12,
12 and 13, and then last year there
was a little bit of a bump to 17.
But, the percentages usually remain about the same in all of our
counties.
Strobl said that her office

Mother's Day is the one day

each year when men, women
and children across the country
gather to honor the mothers in
their lives. Though it can be
challenging to find new and
unique ways to display your affection for Mom on Mother's
Day, rest assured that sometimes the simplest concepts are
the ones mothers most appreciate. This year, look no further
than the following ideas for
some inspiration as you aim to
make this Mother's Day as special as possible for the mother
or mothers in your life.
Give the gift of sweet
treats. What better way to highlight mom's sweetness than
with some delicious treats made
just for her? Whether you decide to whip up some homemade confections in the kitchen
or visit a nearby store for something decadent, mom will no
doubt appreciate the chance to
indulge on her big day. Moms
who prefer cookies and portable
snacks will no doubt enjoy
Pocky and Pe^ajoy biscuit
sticks. These tasty snacks from
Gilco are dipped or filled with
popular flavors, such as chocolate and strawberry, and are

now available with green tea

cream. Pair with a cup of tea,
coffee or whichever beverage
mom prefers to complement her
favorite treat. Pocky is available in most grocery stores, and
can typically be found in the
Asian food section.
Make a meal to remember.
Mom deserves a night off from
dinner detail, and while dining
out is an option, a homemade
meal may come across as more
intimate and heartfelt. Thanks
to kitchen appliances that make
it easier than ever to prepare
gourmet meals at home, you
can now make restaurant-style
meals in your kitchen without
sacrificing restaurant-quality
taste. For example, new tacook
Rice Cookers from Tiger Corporation do more than just perfectly steam rice. They also
incorporate synchro-cooking to
cook two different items at
once. Present mom with her favorite Asian-inspired poultryand-rice dish or use the cooker
to easily bake bread or steam a
side of vegetables. Pair the
meal with her favorite wine and
make sure you handle all the
cleanup.
While mom waits for dinner

to be served, a soothing cup of

tea can set the tone for a relaxing evening. The Tiger Hot
Water Kettle boils water in seconds. With three temperature
settings and a de-chlorination
cycle for removing chemical
tastes and odors, the kettle allows mom to quickly enjoy a
cup of her favorite brew. These
kitchen essentials are available
at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Plan a Mother's Day picnic.
Busy moms may look forward
to a break from the bustle of
daily routines. An afternoon
picnicking outdoors can be the
ideal way to enjoy a special

Exchange student from
Switzerland studies in
Maple Lake
Manuel Lanwer, age 18, has
traveled all the way from
Switzerland to study in Maple
Lake. Lanwer has definitely
been enjoying his time in America and even more so in town.
His older sister was an exchange
student studying in Pennsylvania a couple of years back, and
Lanwer wanted to follow in her
footsteps, leading him to Maple
Lake August 31 of this year. He
wanted to see another culture
and study up on his English and
other aspects of school, along
with experiencing somewhere
different.
Lanwer has been most interested in a couple of things. In
Switzerland, high school sports
do not exist. If someone wanted
to play a sport, they would have
to join a club and Lanwer mentioned that not a lot of people
and fans get behind it. After
going to a couple of games here
in Minnesota, he has been in
awe of how many people will
come out to a sporting event. "I
love high school sports," he
mentioned, pointing out that he
is a sports fanatic. He would
like to make a career out of
sports one day and would also
like to work in zoology and biology. He even talked about be-

coming a professor of higher education. Lanwer has already
been to a football game and a
Minnesota Wild game and really
liked the experience. He will be
watching more sports during the
rest of the school year.
Lanwer is excited to see what
comes next in this school year
and said the people in Maple
Lake have been very nice and
accommodating. He has been
living with hosts Teresa Kintop
and Brian Bentley in Maple
Lake and the high school has
been very welcoming. When
asked what was the biggest difference between here and
Switzerland is, he answered

Irish baseball wins two, loses two last week

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

The Irish baseball team went

2-2 last week at three games on
the road and one at home.
Maple Lake kicked off the
week at Norwood-Young America Tuesday, April 26, where the
Irish fell 1-0 despite a strong
game by Irish hurler Grant Mergen.
Mergen allowed just one run,
but the Irish couldnt get its offense going. N-YA had similar
problems, thanks to Mergen,
who allowed only three hits
from the Raiders. Mergen also
walked two and struck out five
in six innings.
N-YA snuck in its only run of
the day on an RBI double by
Zach Stockman in the first inning.
On Thursday, April 28, the
Irish traveled to Pierz for a double-header where the team won
the first game 3-2 then fell 4-1
to the Pioneers.
The Irish held onto the lead
after putting up the first run of
the day in the first inning, scoring on an error. The Irish tacked
on another in the third, thanks to
an RBI double by Nick
Preisinger, plating Nate Maas.
Maple Lake then scored another
in the fifth. Pierz remained
scoreless until the bottom of the

fifth inning when Teddy Dehler

knocked out a two-run home
run.
Maas went 2-4 at the plate
and scored two runs, singling in
the third and fifth innings.
Preisinger pitched seven innings and allowed two earned
runs on seven hits.
Maas had another solid seven
innings at the plate in game two
of Thursday nights doubleheader in Pierz despite the loss.
The Pioneers put the first two
runs on the scoreboard in the
second inning thanks to a
ground-out by Kolton Eischens.
The Irish returned the favor
in the bottom of that inning,
scoring a run on a fielders
choice, but that was as far as the
Maple Lake team got.
Pierz piled on two more runs
in the top of the seventh to seal
the win.
Maas went 2-3 at the plate,
doubling in the third inning and
singling in the sixth. Nate
Hogan took the loss for the
Irish. He lasted just over six innings, walked three, struck out
four and allowed four runs.
On Friday, April 29, Maple
Lake dropped the Annandale
Cardinals 9-6 after several lead
changes. The Cardinals scored
the first run in the first inning,
then tacked on three more in the

second. Maple Lake struck back

in the fifth with two runs, then
slowly clawed its way back to
finally take the lead after a
strong eighth inning.
Ben Goelz racked up two
RBIs on three hits for the Irish.
He singled in the fifth and sixth
innings and doubled in the seventh.
Cole Trager held Annandale
hitless over 2 1/3 innings, allowed no earned runs, walked
two and struck out one.
Mergen got the job done on
the mound, pitching one shutout inning. He struck out two,
walked none and gave up no
hits.
The Irish were to host
Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted
on Tuesday, May 3; and Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa on Thursday, May 5, in a double-header.
Games are at 4 p.m. and 5:30
p.m., respectively.

Irish softball wins three, loses 1 last week

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

The Maple Lake girls softball

team won three and lost one game
last week.
The Irish picked up a win
against Norwood-Young America
in non-conference action, Tuesday, April 26, despite a Raider
rally that tied the game in the
sixth inning.
Maple Lake struck first in the
bottom of the first inning started
by an Amber Klug single, a
ground-out by Linsey Rachel, and
eventually a single by Morgan
Scheiber that pushed Klug across
the plate.
The Irish put up two more runs
in the second for a 3-0 lead. The
Raiders rallied in the top of the
fourth for a two-run inning then
added a third in the top of the
sixth to tie the game.
Maddi Maas brought home the
winning run in the bottom of the
sixth to give Maple Lake the lead
which they held onto for the win.
Ellie Haney doubled to get on
base in the sixth and Brooke
Ankerfelt hit a ground-out. Haney
also tripled in the second inning
for the Irish.
Olivia Marquette struck out 10
hitters for Maple Lake. She allowed only three earned runs, tallied six hits and threw no walks
over seven innings.
Kimball avenged an earlier
season loss to the Irish with a 6-2
win on the Cubs home field
Wednesday, April 27, in Central
Minnesota Conference action.
Maple Lake earned its two

runs early in the game, scoring in

the top of the second. The Cubs
came back in the fourth and eventually took the lead on an error,
plating four runners in that inning.
They put up two more in the sixth
to secure the win.
Marquette took the loss, allowing six runs, walking none
and striking out five.
The Irish rebounded on Thursday, April 28, when they handed
conference foe Pierz two losses
during an evening double-header
in Pierz.
Maple Lake crushed the
Raiders 11-0 in five innings the
first game. The Irish put its first
runner across the plate in the third
inning for the lead and never
looked back. Maple Lake scored
three more in the fourth, started
by Morgan Scheiber who singled
to bring home Katie Goelz and
Klug.
The Irish then pounded out
seven runs in the fifth to secure
the win. Klug and Mollie
Scheiber had two-run singles in
that inning, but the highlight was
when Olivia Paumen hit a threerun home run.
She tallied three RBIs in just
that one hit.
Marquette pitched a shut-out
game and allowed only two hits.
The bats stayed hot for the
Irish who put up seven runs in the
first inning of the second game
against the Pioneers. Rachel
ripped an RBI single, Mollie
Scheiber hit a ground-out, Paumen had an RBI single, Ankerfelt
contributed a two-run single,

Goelz hit an RBI single and Klug

hit a ground-out that first inning.
Pierz rallied with two runs of
its own in the bottom of the first,
but Maple Lake continued to pull
away in the top of the second with
five more runs, thanks to Rachel
stealing home base, an error, an
RBI single by Maas, and a tworun home run by Goelz.
The Irish scored one more run
in each of the third and fourth innings and two final runs in the
seventh. Pierz put up two runs of
its own in the third, one in the
fourth and one in the seventh for
a 7-16 loss to the Irish.
Morgan Scheiber pitched for
the Irish Thursday afternoon. She
allowed just one hit and no earned
runs. She walked one and struck
out four during three innings.
Klug allowed six runs over four
innings. She struck out four,
walked three and gave up five
hits.
The Irish were to play again on
Monday, May 2, at Howard LakeWaverly-Winsted, then on
Wednesday, May 4, they were
scheduled to host Annandale at 4
p.m. On Thursday, May 5, they
will travel to Belgrade-BrootenElrosa for a double-header.
Games start at 4 p.m. and 5:30.

I was in bed asleep when she

called, said Fobbe. They were
all screaming in the background,
I could hardly hear her. Im feeling very blessed, she added.
The evenings last fundraising
appeal, the Fund-a-Need program, highlighted St. Timothys
new classroom addition. We
have a beautiful addition, but
need something to sit on and
write on, said Brandstrom. We
need desks and chairs and white
boards. Everyone really stepped

up, there was a very large response.

Already volunteering to head
next years event, Brandstrom
was impressed at the willingness
to give by those who attended
and all who were not able to attend the event.
The event was amazing,
said Brandstrom. Thank you to
everyone on behalf of myself and
Laura (Warner). Everyone was
very generous and were already
excited about next year.

Golfers play in New Prague

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer

Irish golfers participated in

an invitational at New Prague,
Friday, April 29, after a week of
rainy weather.
Brandon Borell led the home
team with an 83; Aiden Jude
shot an 88; Peyton Beehler shot
a 94; Damian Kaley shot a 106;
Joe Stokman shot a 106; and
John Treadwell shot a 114 for a
team score of 371.

I think we can play better,

but it was a tough course with
trees that lined the fairways,
coach Aaron Hegle said. You
had to be pretty accurate off the
tee.
The outlook was better for
the Irish this week, weatherwise. The boys were set to play
at a Central Minnesota Conference meet on Tuesday, May 3,
and then another Invitational on
Thursday, May 5, in Becker.

MLHS Trap team excels

in first competition

The MLHStrap team competed in their second competition on May 2 at the Annandale Conservation Club.
Fourteen student athletes are
participating in Maple Lakes
first ever trap team (13 boys
and 1 girl.) The MLHS trap
team is in Class 1A Conference
6 in the Minnesota State High
School Clay Target League.
After shooting last week in their
first competition, four team
members are in the top 25 in the
conference. They are Hunter
Wurm, Ian Larson, Sam Schaunaman and Emily Larson. The
team is now ranked fourth in
their conference out of eight

teams.
Volunteer coach Suzee
Schaunaman says, I am so
proud and excited, especially
because this is our first year.
More information about the
sport can be found on
mnclaytarget.com.
Practice, reserve and competition weeks are held at the Annandale Conservation Club
from 4:15 to 6:15 p.m.
May 12: Competition Week 3

St. Tims Auction

continued from page 1
The big winner of the evening
was Doreen Fobbe of Maple
Lake who won the grand prize,
her choice of a bright blue 2016
Dodge Dart SE or $10,000 cash.
She opted to take the cash. Her
sister, Theresa Heimkes, a
teacher at St. Timothys and the
person she bought the winning
ticket from, called and woke her.
She said, You won the car!
Change out of your pajamas and
get down here, we need to buy
you a drink!

Nikes for Vets

continued from page 1
It was a good deal, she said.
The kids working at the Nike
store were so helpful. They have
to code in an 18 or 19 digit code
for the Coke Rewards Program,
but they didnt complain. And
when I told them who they were
for, they thanked me for doing it.
That makes me feel good.
Of course, it would have
taken Decker a lot longer to collect all those points if she had
been doing it alone, but Moelter
and some friends from work
chipped in by creating their own
Coke Rewards account and then
giving Decker the points.
Its easy enough, she said.
Coke points are found on bottle
caps, inside the corner of 12
packs and inside the cases. Then
its just a matter of going to MyCokeRewards.com and setting
up a free account.
Decker heard about Eagles

Healing Nest through the Auxiliarys district president who had

made helping the home her personal project one year. The
home, which has a sign that proclaims a place for veterans to
heal with honor, shelters about
70 veterans in a rural setting.
Some of the veterans are homeless, others are still trying to acclimate into civilian life, and all
are fighting the invisible wounds
of war. The veterans are encouraged to do chores around the
home, including some grounds
work and feeding the animals.
According to Decker, they take
turns making lunch and doing the
dishes. The entire institution is
run on donations which is why
contributions like Deckers are
so important.
Over the years the VFW Auxiliary has donated many items to
the St. Cloud VA Hospital, in-

cluding Nike tennis shoes, tee

shirts, tote bags, quilts, and handmade caps and scarves.
We decided the last bunch of
shoes we acquired should go to
The Eagles Healing Nest as they
run on donations, Decker said.
Unlike the VA hospitals, Eagles
Healing Nest will accept used
clothing and shoes, but our feeling is that our veterans deserve a
new pair of shoes.
Anyone who wants to help
with the project can do so by saving Coke points themselves and
setting up an account.
With all the graduation parties coming up, there will be lots
of Coke points that should be put
to good use instead of going in
the garbage or recycling bins,
Decker said.
Products included in this program are all Coke products,
Barqs rootbeer, Dasani water,

Fuse, Fanta orange, Mello Yello,

Minute Maid, Powerade, and
Sprite.
Decker herself is almost ready
to cash in her points again for
more shoes.
Im going to keep going with
the shoes. This is something the
veterans can use, she said.
Starting the second week of
May, the VFW Auxiliary will
also begin their annual poppy
campaign. Veterans make the
flowers which the Auxiliary buys
and then gives away for a donation. The donations stay in the
Maple Lake Auxiliary to be used
to help local vets and their families. Members of the Auxiliary
will be stationed outside businesses around town that week
giving them away.
In addition, as of August
2015, the Auxiliary can now accept male members.
