The 5th annual Gear-Head

Get Together and the 29th annual EEA Chapter 878 Fly
In/Drive In are happening on the
same day, Saturday, August 15,
for the second year in a row.
Enthusiasts will bring a mechanical menagerie to the events,
ranging from lawn mowers to
airplanes as anything mechanical is welcome. A 15-member
committee has worked diligently to nail down all the details needed for a successful day.
Its hard work making this
event so laid back, says GearHead committee chairman Scott
Chantland. The theme of the
day, No trophies, no plaques!
Just a gathering of gear-heads
and their machines, allows anyone to show off a machine they
love. According to Chantland,
We are too laid back to keep
accurate attendance records,
but he estimated that about 600
vehicles and 100 vendors
showed up last year along with
thousands of members of the
general public. Similar numbers
are expected this year.

Ambassador update Dr. James Jude dies at 87

Former Maple Lake resident,
Dr. James Jude, 87, died July 28,
2015, in his Coral Gables,
Florida home.
According to his son, the surgeon died from complications of
a Parkinsons-like neurological
disorder stemming from a tick
bite.
James Roderick Jude was
born on June 7, 1928, the son of
Bernard and Cecilia Jude of
Maple Lake. He graduated from
Maple Lake High School in
1946, and credited a teacher at
Maple Lake High School for setting him on the path into medicine.

Another
conservative deer
season set to
rebuild population
Hunters can expect another
conservative deer season in 2015
as management continues to rebuild deer numbers across much
of the state, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
said.
The 2015 deer hunting regulations will be quite similar to last
year, with one-deer limits in most
of the state, said Leslie McInenly, big game program leader
for the DNR. Hunters should
check the 2015 regulations early,
because in the majority of areas,
hunters will need to apply for a
permit to shoot an antlerless
deer.
In 70 of Minnesotas 128 deer
permit areas, hunters must be
chosen in a lottery to shoot an
antlerless deer. Only bucks can
be hunted in 14 areas. In 29 areas,
hunters have the choice of shooting a doe or a buck. Bonus permits allowing hunters to shoot
more than one deer may only be
used in 11 permit areas and for
some special hunts. In three
southwestern areas, the DNR is
restricting antlerless harvest to
youth hunters only.
Hunters can buy deer licenses
and apply to the lottery for antlerless deer permits starting Saturday, Aug. 1. The deadline to
apply for the lottery is Thursday,
Sept. 10.

Maple Lakes Ambassadors

have been out and about, representing our community at several
local
and
nearby
community events this summer.
Locally, Ambassadors Maya
Ortiz, Heather Blahut and Maddie Nelson have greeted and
served fans at the Lakers baseball concession stand. They
helped with Maple Lakes 125th
Anniversary events, the Casting
for Kids event at the Christopher
Schneider Bass Fishing Tournament on July 18, and attended a
Minnesota Twins game July 28,
as members of the Sparkle Section which is a fundraising initiative that supports the
Ambassadors and Maple Lake.
In August, our Ambassadors will
assist at the Chamber of Commerces Annual Meeting/Social
at The V by HH; they will
help the Maple Lake Lions with
their Take a Senior Fishing
event and fish fry at the Manor;
and they will volunteer for the
Gear Head Get-together and
Movie on Birch Ave.
The trio attended the Hopkins parade in mid-July, which
is a key event for external visibility. Accompanied by Mayor
and Ambassador Organization
Director, Lynn Kissock, the
young women represented
Maple Lake from their float,
waving to the crowd. Ortiz,

Blahut and Nelson have also attended
other
community
fundraisers and summer festivals, most recently in Annandale
on July 4, Buffalo, Big Lake,
Delano, Albertville, Cambridge,
Princeton,
Coon
Rapids,
Hanover and Robbinsdale. They
attended the Ambassador coronation for the Wright County
Fairest of the Fair in Howard
Lake, and have accepted invitations to upcoming parades and
coronations at Rockford, Cokato
and Northfield.
Not just three pretty faces,
these young ladies involve
themselves in the community,
representing and promoting
Maple Lake to other Minnesotans. While volunteering,
they learn poise and confidence,
public speaking and presentation
skills and develop leadership
abilities. Their schedule of public appearances often takes them
to four different events weekly,
and the trio travels together as
much as possible, chaperoned
by adults. Kissock states, The
parents are the unsung heroes,
who commit to the prioritized
events as much as the ambassadors. She especially thanks
Donna Blahut, Dawn Nelson,
Eric and Leah Ortiz for their
time and significant support.

As promised, I did get out on the lakes last week, once to Maple
Lake Friday morning and Ramsey on Saturday morning. Both days
were for sunfish and rather than comment about specific sizes, suffice to say my Friday mornings catch of 15 filled a zip-lock quart
size bag with fillets. I struggled more on Ramsey and when the heat
was starting to get to me I released the six from the live- well hoping
for a better outing next time. . . while at the Lakers Appreciation game Sunday afternoon, Joe Blizil said the rattle trap lures
he and his angling partner were using won them $140.00 in Wednesday nights Maple Lake Fishing Clubs contest on Maple Lake. He
seemed particularly thrilled with the 8 1/2-inch sunfish and a 16inch walleye he caught, along with the four northerns (all over 20
inches) and four large-mouthed bass which gave them first place.
He teamed up with Nicole Elfmann in the bean-bag tournament and
they won $80.00 for finishing second in the eight-team event. .
. Coming off a 7-5 win Friday night over St. Michael; and a 9-5
loss to Cold Spring Saturday, the Lakers were shut out 8-0 by Moorhead ending a great season with a 30 and 5 record. Region playoffs
began Wednesday at Delano when Maple Lake played Maple Plain
who defeated D-C Sunday 5-1. Thursdays game will feature Cokato
vs. Howard Lake at 7:30, and on Friday there are two games, Mound
vs. Hutchinson at 6 p.m.; and Loretto vs. Delano at 8:30 p.m. The
second round of the double-elimination tournament continues on
Saturday with the first round winners playing at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
and the losers playing on Sunday at 2 and 5 p.m. The third round
begins with teams in the losing bracket playing at 7:30 p.m., Aug.
12 and 13, continuing through the weekend naming a Region champ
Sunday afternoon, Aug. 16th.

Nineteen-year-old SDSU college student Wayne Flury knew
a good deal when he saw one. I
learned that I could earn six college credits if I took flight training, so I thought that would
work just fine. The instructor
and I flew in an Aeronca tail
wheel plane with no intercom or
headsets, so we just yelled at
each other over the engine
noise. It was Waynes introduction to general aviation (personal) airplanes. After earning
his private pilots license and
graduating from college, he was
accepted into the Air Force Officer Training Corps program
and reported to Chanute
Air Force Base in Illinois as
a maintenance supervisor. He
was in a flying club there and
wanted to fly the clubs T-34
trainer, but unfortunately, didnt
have enough flight hours to
qualify. That was one of my
big disappointments, he said.
He then received orders to
Vietnam, and was a C-130 maintenance officer at Tan Son Nhut
Air Base, Saigon. After his one
year tour of duty in Vietnam, he
was transferred to Minot Air
Force Base, Minot, ND where
he earned his commercial and

instrument pilot ratings. Then, as

with many pilots, family responsibilities moved ahead of flying
and he grounded himself for a
while.
When his military obligation
was completed, the young family moved to Wisconsin, and one
day a friend invited Wayne to go
to the big air show in Oshkosh.
I accepted the invitation, came
home an EAA (Experimental
Aircraft Association) member
and Ive been a EAA volunteer
there ever since. He first volunteered in flight line safety (keep
the people behind the ropes,
from smoking, etc.) then as a
host in the forum tents (clean up,
help with equipment set-up,
etc.).
During that time, he was
asked to volunteer at the Maple
Lake Airport Fly-In during the
Maple Lake Centennial, and got
his first taste of announcing. He
was bitten. During his next trip
to AirVenture (as the Oshkosh
event is officially known), he
asked if he could try his hand at
announcing in the events announcement stand. They dont
accept just anybody; they review
aviation experience, knowledge
of aviation and public speaking
in the French Lake area. Don Curtiss, Pastor Culynns father and a
South Dakota resident living in Mitchell, SD, gave me a first-hand
report for the Mitchell area saying the pheasant population will be
better than last year, but not as good as it was five years ago. He felt
they had ideal weather for a good hatch which is always important
when it comes to pheasant numbers. He said they have had great
weather for crops noting much of South Dakota has had over three
inches of rain in July, something that doesnt usually happen. Hes
guessing there will be 180 bushels-per-acre corn this year. He also
commented about a hail storm northwest of Mitchell which was two
miles wide and about five miles long. He said it pretty much wiped
out the alfalfa, corn and bean
crops in its path. He felt the farmers affected may get some silage
out of the corn.

Vanna and I came across these
brown-eyed susans in Ney Park
Sunday morning. They were in
full bloom and struggling for survival between two walking paths
which I thought was unusual. Incidentally there are 1000s of
them blooming now, an added attraction in the park.

Question: Is it "legal" to
leave your dog in a car (summertime) with a/c and car running
but locked? We occasionally
will do this while grabbing a
quick bite to eat or running a fast
errand.
Answer: Minnesota State
Statute 346.57 says, A person
may not leave a dog or a cat unattended in a standing or parked
motor vehicle in a manner that
endangers the dog's or cat's
health or safety. A peace officer,
as defined in section 626.84, a
humane agent, a dog warden, or
a volunteer or professional
member of a fire or rescue department of a political subdivision may use reasonable force to
enter a motor vehicle and remove a dog or cat which has
been left in the vehicle in violation of subdivision 1.
The law addresses the issue
of the unattended pet in a standing or parked motor vehicle but
also states a manner that endangers the dog's or cat's health or
safety. You mention that the
dog is left in a running car, with
the air conditioning on and doors

locked. I see a few issues:
Where is owner of the vehicle and when are they coming
back?
How would law enforcement know the air conditioner
was on or working when approaching the vehicle?
What if the vehicles engine
quits running?
Some cities with high auto
thefts, as well as for noise reasons in residential areas, have
ordinances in place so that a vehicle cannot be left unattended,
locked up, and idling.
I would advise pet owners
use caution and always look out
for your pets well-being and
safety.
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. (You can follow me
on Twitter @MSPPIO_NE or
reach
me

ability closely, and it doesnt

matter who you know. They
want a good staff, as the announcer is heard by thousands of
visitors.
With a leery eye, stand chairman Roscoe Martin told Wayne
he could have a shot at it for one
day. At the end of the day, I was
asked if I could come back tomorrow! Wayne exclaimed.
The next day he was given more
time, even more the next, and
was finally a full-time Oshkosh
announcer. 2015 attendance at
the recently completed event
was 550,000 with an all-time
record 16,278 aircraft movements for the week and some
single-day arrivals alone exceeding 3,000 planes. AirVenture air
traffic controllers boasted that it
was double the number that occurs at Chicagos OHare Airport on any given day.
AirVenture is the largest general
aviation event in the world, right
next door in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Wayne has been announcing
at Oshkosh since 1993, and is
now the announcing stand cochairperson. Roscoe Martin
took me in and helped me a lot.
He got me to where I am at
Oshkosh, and I would consider
him to be the most influential
person in my aviation history.
As co-chairperson, Wayne interviews sponsors, vendors, air
show celebrities and pilots, and
is heard by visitors all along the
flight line speakers through over
1,900 of cable. I get to meet

some incredible people; Burt
Rutan (aircraft inventor/builder),
Curtis
Pitts
(aircraft
inventor/builder), Marion Cole
(legendary aerobatic pilot),
Mike Kennedy (star of TV show
Airplane Repo) and others,
with eight to 10 interviews a
day. Im there at 7:30 a.m. every
day during the event for the
daily managers meeting and
start announcing/interviewing at
9:00 a.m. About 2:00 p.m. my
voice starts to fade, so I go into
the stand office and provide support to the others.
Wayne is building a two-passenger, all-metal, Sonex tail
wheel airplane in his home shop.
Im putting in a VW engine.
Theyre a very dependable engine and I owned a VW Beetle
in college, so I am very familiar
with tearing down and repairing
that engine, he explains. His
wife, Joyce, flew with him in
their earlier years in a friends
Citabria and plans on going on
flights with him again when
Wayne completes the Sonex.

Maple Lake Municipal Airport
on August 15th in conjunction
with the Gear-Head Get Together downtown. Wayne will

27th year!

Ask a
Trooper
The kids have prevailed upon

us to get modern. We were
dragged kicking and screaming
into the 21st century without
having been completely absorbed into the 20th century. We
have two smart phones now; one
borrowed from Saint Lucia
where it likes to call foreigners
but not localsand one bought
here which seems okay with
calling anyplace, but we haven't
put it completely to the test yet.
My first question to the able
salesman at the Smart Phone
Store was if they had a model
with a dial on it. He said no, and
didn't even smile. Even
Grandma had a dial on her candlestick phone. It seems logical
that modern phones should at
least have the same equipment
that Grandma had.
Son then told us we need to
walk before we run, and challenged us to do no more than
make and take phone calls for
the present. We used to walk to
the phone and pick it up. If
someone were there, we could
talk. If not, we could hang up,
which we often did if the caller
sounded recorded. Calling, it
turned out, wasn't so easy, and
neither was answering. For one
thing, Grand-daughter made us
get a virtually impenetrable case
for our new phone. It requires
two hands to open, and some-
times a knee, and I'm likely to

drop it in the process, which is
why we needed a case in the first
place. Grandma never put her
candlestick phone in a case, and
she never dropped it.
Questions continue to arise.
Is it safe to put credit card information on that itty-bitty screen
or will Russian and Chinese
hackers get it? They probably already have it from hospital or
IRS records anyhow. How do I
hang it up when there's no latch
hook? Where do calls go when
we miss them? Why should I
change from one address book
to three or four? How do I do
that? Why did the screen go
blank just when I was reading
that tiny print? How do I get it
back? How do I turn off the
speaker? Or turn it on? Grandma
didn't do that. How do I keep my
thumbs off the microphone
when I don't know where it is?
Everyone in the grocery store
has a smart phone. Everyone at
the gym has a smart phone.
Everyone at church has a smart
phone and some are walking out
early to answer it. Half the drivers on the freeway are talking to
someone on a smart phone, and
some of them have it hooked up
to an ear.
I'm sure I will get adapted to
the thing, once I figure out how
to open it with one hand.

School referendum possibilities discussed

by Katie Friedman
Correspondent
The Maple Lake School

Board convened for a special
meeting Monday, July 27, to update its resolution establishing a
polling place and hours for
school district elections that are
not held on the day of a
statewide election.
These special elections will
continue to be held in the high
school commons area, as they
have in the past.
Any previous resolutions regarding the districts polling
place had been passed before
Superintendent Mark Redemske
began his career at Maple Lake,
and as school board elections
have since been changed from
odd-year to even-year events,
board members agreed it would
be appropriate to adopt a new
resolution concerning these matters. By state law, such resolutions must be adopted at least 90
days before an election; thus it

was necessary to update the resolution by August 5, prior to the
boards next regular meeting, as
the board has been weighing an
option of presenting an operating referendum and a capital
projects levy for taxpayers consideration in December.
More than $400,000 in overspending is anticipated in the
coming year, and consequently
the board is considering an operating levy referendum amount
in the neighborhood of
$500,000, to offset deficit
spending and to perhaps reinstate some programming that
has been dropped over recent
years.
A 10-year, $100,000 capital
projects levy referendum is also
under consideration, mainly in
the interest of keeping up with
technology.
Board members discussed a
number of issues, including the
amount of time these levies

might run (each can be approved for up to 10 years) and
whether an inflationary increase
should be included on the operating levy. While this is becoming a common practice among
school districts, Redemske
warned it might be a difficult
concept to explain to voters. A
capital projects levy would increase or decrease as the districts tax capacity rises and
falls.
Should voters reject the proposed levies, Redemske said the
district would need to tighten its
belt.
But this would certainly
ease the pain, he said. Its a
real balancing act, because certainly we want to provide a topnotch education to the kids and
provide a wonderful school system for the community. And that
costs money quite frankly,
costs more money than the
states been providing. They

havent been keeping up with
our costs. And I think weve
been, probably, frugal to a fault
at times. We really do try to
pinch every penny we can. On
the other side of this, we have to
be aware of our taxpayers appetite for additional tax money.
I live here, and I pay taxes, too,
but I probably have a little different view of it because of the
chair I sit in during the day,
where I work from. We try to
keep all of those things in balance.
In order to address these
items in levy form this December, the board must come to a
final decision in August. The
schools have not brought a referendum to the voters since
2007, and a 2006 operating levy
will expire next year.
The boards next meeting
will be Monday, Aug. 10, at 7
p.m.
County approves solar farm/garden zoning amendment

by John Holler
Correspondent
In recent years, one of the

primary alternative power
sources to provide clean, effective electrical power has been to
harness the sun with solar gardens and solar farms. Thanks to
a recent grant from Xcel Energy,
entrepreneurs are scrambling to
access the grant funding, including several in Wright County.
There were plenty of interested people following along
with the Wright County Board
of Commissioners July 28
meeting, as the board was being
asked to approve a zoning ordinance in the countys overall
zoning plan to deal directly with
solar farms.
As the planning commission
discussed the policy to deal with
requests for solar panel operations, it became similar to when

cell phone companies were
looking to place towers in rural
areas more than a decade ago.
Often times, counties will confer with other counties that have
already dealt with an issue to
fashion their ordinances that appear as boilerplate language
very similar to other county ordinances. However, Riley said
there isnt much to go off of because this isnt something many
counties in Minnesota have ever
dealt with.
Sometimes you have a tendency for counties to repeat
counties (with ordinances) and
you end up with the same structure, Riley said. But this issue
is so new that Im not sure if we
necessarily have everything
covered. Its better to play it safe

at the start and adjust as things
happen, so I think this gives up
the proper framework to deal
with the demands that will be
coming at us.
Those demands are the result
of the Xcel grant program which
opened up large sums of money
for the implementation of solar
farms and gardens. However,
the current grant funding cycle
is set to expire in 2016. Asked if
he already has requests pending
that are just waiting for the
county ordinance to be in place,
Riley said he doesnt, but he is
expecting a flood of them to
come in the very near future if
passed.
I dont, but I think were
going to have quite a few of
them over the next six to 10
months, Riley said. There are

some deadline issues with funding and tax credits. The application process through Xcel for
these solar gardens is kind of
under the gun on the time
scale.
Commissioner Charlie Borrell said that the planning commission has put protective
language for the county in the
ordinance and has addressed
every concern brought up by
townships in the ordinance language. The board unanimously
approved the amendment to the
zoning plan and several projects
are expected to begin implementation as early as late this
summer or in the fall.

County debates funding dilemma for school program

by John Holler
Correspondent
Almost four years ago, the

Buffalo School District sought
to find an alternative to student
suspension. In most instances,
students facing suspensions had
no option but to spend the time
either at home or at their own
devices. Attempting to take a
proactive approach to dealing
with suspensions and/or expulsions, the wRight Choice program was devised. At the July
28 meeting of the Wright
County Board of Commissioners, the future of the program
and its funding source became
the subject of debate.
Wright Choice started with
just one school district in 2011.
It now includes nine school districts and has grown significantly, becoming a pilot project
that other schools districts

throughout the country have
looked at as a disciplinary option. But, when it comes to providing funding for the program,
who should pay for it.
The wRight Choice program
was funded through grants,
which paid the $26,000 annual
rental for the lease. But the
grant money ran out and questions over the cost of funding
the program came to the building committee. Commissioner
Mark Daleiden said that the discussion centered on the county
paying the lease for the program.
Currently this area of the
county courthouse is not being
utilized at all, Daleiden said.
So the recommendation was to
approve the wRight Choice
space in the court services
budget so it would reduce it to

the school districts. If the area
needs to be utilized for county
business in the future, we will
have to address this again.
Commissioner Pat Sawatzke
countered that, while he supports the good work the program accomplishes, he has an
issue with the county supporting
the program financially out of
fairness.
Im a little bit concerned
about the recommendation,
Sawatzke said. In Wright
County, we have a longstanding
and outstanding relationship between the county resources and
the schools that were all very
proud of. Im very supportive of
all of them. I was supportive of
allowing the schools to be in our
space (for the wRight Choice
program) and operate as it has
been. Im a little bit concerned

about us paying the rent for their
facility because I think it kind of
crosses a line. What that really
becomes is a classroom for
these kids that have been expelled from school for a period
of time and I think its a mistake
for us to basically start funding
for classroom space.
Sawatzke added that he
thinks it sends the wrong message to both the wRight Choice
program as well as other groups
that Wright County is willing to
foot the bill, which could lead to
a scenario where the program
will ask the county to house it
somewhere else once the current
space needs to be utilized by the
county.

50 Years of Caring with CentraCare Health

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!

Lakers faced a trio of tough Class B opponents

By Matt Brown
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake Lakers finished up the regular season last

week with a trio of tough Class B
opponents. The games gave the
team some looks at tough opponents with good (really good)
pitching and put the team in situations they havent been in often
this season.
Cold Spring 9
Maple Lake 5
The Lakers were on the phone
early last week and managed to
schedule a game against the twotime defending state class B
champion Cold Spring Springers
for Thursday night. The matchup pitted former state tournament
MVPs Jeremy Schmidt and Zach
Femrite in a clash of amateur
baseball titans.
Maple Lake started the scoring in the second thanks to a hit
from Todd Fuller to take an early
one-run lead. Cold Spring fired
back in a big way in the third
with a three-run home run, then
with three more in the fourth, and
three more in the fifth. Schmidt
went 4.1 innings, giving up seven
hits, nine runs, three walks and
five strikeouts. The Laker defense gave up a few errors that
resulted in runs that served as a
talking point with Coach Fobbe
after the game. The skipper noted
that this game served as a reminder that good teams make errors hurt.
Fuller was brought in relief in
the fifth and quickly settled
things down. Fuller turned in
perhaps his best performance of
the season, the latest in a series
of improving performances from
the big lefty, giving up no runs,
no hits, a walk, and seven strikeouts through 4.2 innings.
The Laker offense perked up
after the fifth, putting up runs in
the sixth, seventh, and ninth
thanks to a pair of RBI doubles
from Riley Decker and a pair of
RBIs from Bert Marsnik. Brian
Redemske stole two bases to
bring his season total to 20.

St. Michael 5
Maple Lake 7
The St. Michael Saints came
to town on Friday night, bringing
a match-up with the last remaining North Star League class B
team. Mitch Wurm got the start
and went a solid seven innings,
giving up 11 hits, two runs, a
walk and six strikeouts. The first
run came in the second but was
answered in the bottom of the inning. The second run came in the
sixth, giving the Saints the lead.
The pitchers dual ended in
the bottom of the seventh when
the Lakers put up three, followed
by three from both St. Michael
and Maple Lake in the eighth, including Brian Redemskes third
home run of the year. Riley
Decker closed out the game,
going two innings and giving up
six hits, three runs, no walks, and

a getting strikeout for his third
win of the year. The Laker defense must have taken Coach
Fobbes concerns to heart as they
committed no errors despite a
large number of balls in play.

The Laker offense never really got going against Moorhead.

The team totaled six strikeouts,
almost double their team average. Chad Raiche had a nice double, the only extra-base hit of the
game.
Despite the poor showing at
the plate, the defense played
well, committing no errors.

the 12C regional tournament.
The Lakers will then play on Saturday or Sunday in Delano, depending on the result of
Wednesdays game.
Moorhead 8
Maple Lake 0
Maple Lake hosted the Moorhead Brewers on Fan Appreciation Day Sunday to cap off the
regular season. Ben Jungers got
the start and gave up one in the
first before settling in for a few
scoreless innings. That came to
an end in the fifth, when the
Brewers scored five. Jungers was
pulled with two outs in favor of
Dusty Decker, who got the Lakers out of the inning. Decker finished the game, giving up a run
in the eighth and another in the
ninth.
Jeremy Schmidt, #16, was the starting pitcher for the Lakers on Thursday nights game
against Cold Spring.
Left: Laker, Bert Marsnik, #21, made the play, a close call when a Cold Spring player slid safely into third base. Right: Luke Fobbe, #2, kept a close
eye on the ball after hitting a double.

Maple Lake Lakers Fan Appreciation Day

By Harold Brutlag
Columnist
Maple Lake Laker baseball

fans didnt have a lot to cheer
about with Moorhead shutting
them out 8-0 Sunday afternoon.
The flip side were the bargain
basement prices on food and
beverages ($1.00); and the reduced prices on Laker t-shirts
and other apparel.
Adding to the excitement of
the day were the bean-bag

games with the team of Dan
Rassat and Cody Decker winning the eight-team, doubleelimination affair. Ironically
Rassat and Decker pulled off a
win from behind effort, taking
two straight from the undefeated
Joe Blizil and Nicole Elfmann
team. Decker commented their
only defeat came from Blizil and
Elfmann.
The winning team was

awarded $160.00. Second place
paid $89.00 and third $20.00.
Laker fans turned out in
record numbers Sunday and
even though the baseball team
was defeated Sunday, fans have
the opportunity of following
them in the Region tournament
at Delano which began Aug. 5
with Maple Lake playing Maple
Plain.

The Catch
by Jeff Plattner
Most Memorable Minnesota
Sports Moments
By the time last weeks Most
Disappointing Minnesota Sports
Moments article was written and
we were finished reminiscing of
the painful near misses by the
Timberwolves, Twins, and
Vikings, my mood was so
somber, there was no other option than to follow it up with
something a little more positive.
Though theyve been few and
far between, here are my Most
Memorable Minnesota Sports
Moments.
5. Golden Gophers football;
2003 and 2004
In consecutive Bowl games,
the Gophers defeated the Oregon Ducks and the Alabama
Crimson Tide. This is a true
story, it happened a long, long
time ago, but when you put that
into perspective, it may be one
of my favorite stats of all-time.
The Gophers were a joy to
watch these two seasons for exactly two reasons; Marion Barber III and Laurence Maroney,
who combined for nearly 5,000
yards rushing and 50 TDs over
that span. Since their 2003 Sun
Bowl loss to Minnesota, the
Ducks are 111-32 and have appeared in three Rose Bowls as
well as two National Championship games. Since losing to
the Gophers in the 2004 Music
City Bowl, Alabama is 107-26
and has won three National
Championships. Since their
rolling of the Tide, the Gophers
are 55-71 and have lost seven
straight bowl games.
4. Adrian Peterson breaks
the NFL single game rushing
record
It helps when youre in the
stands to witness history and
thats exactly where I was on
November 4th, 2007. The
Vikings may have been 2-5 entering the game and they may
have gotten blanked, 34-0 at
Lambeau Field the following
week. But this Sunday, the dome
was rockingat least in the second half. With just 43 yards
rushing at the half, Peterson and
the Vikings headed into the
locker room having just witnessed NFL history themselves.

With the score tied 7-7, Ryan
Longwells 57-yard field goal to
close the first half, came up
short. It seemed harmless
enough, until Antonio Cromartie
caught it, somehow managed to
not step out of the back of the
end zone, and cruised 109 yards
for the longest return in NFL history. It was a crushing way to
end the half, but the rest of the
game belonged to AP and the
Vikings. Peterson rushed for 107
yards in the third quarter, highlighted by a 64-yard scamper off
left tackle, for his second TD of
the day. Fourth quarter runs of
16, 19, 12, 46, and 35 solidified
Petersons place in NFL history,
as he added a third TD and finished with 296 yards rushing,
breaking Jamal Lewis record by
a single yard. APs record still
stands today and in the current
pass-happy era of the NFL, it
could be a while before its
touched.
3. Wolves Game 7 win over
Sacramento Kings to reach
2004 Western Conference Finals
Lucky enough to be in attendance this night as well, this was
the loudest I have ever heard
Target Center. It wasnt the prettiest game of the series, but Minnesota managed to take a
10-point lead into the half, 4131. But it wouldnt be the
Wolves without handing it right
back. As Minnesota endured a
6:04 stretch without a field goal,
the Kings jumped into the lead.
However, a huge Sam Cassell
three gave the Wolves the lead
after three quarters of play. In his
biggest moment with the
Wolves, Kevin Garnett owned
the fourth quarter, making big
time play after big time play,
scoring 15 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, and swatting 3 Kings
shots. On his 28th birthday, Garnett finished the game of his life
with 32 points, 21 rebounds, 5
blocks, 4 steals, and 2 assists,
propelling the Wolves to their
first-ever Western Conference
Finals.
2. Golden Gophers reach

First Final Four in 1997
It has since been vacated due
to an academic scandal, but it
happened and a banner being removed from a rafter will never
erase the amazing memories in
my mind. The 1990 Elite Eight
team was great, but that was
about a year too early for me to
truly remember. In 1997 however, I was a basketball junky,
who was in his junky-prime and
the Golden Gophers were my
addiction. They had it all. They
were athletic, they were tough,
they were cool, and they could
play. It all started with Bobby
Jackson and Sam Jacobsen, but
solid play off the bench from the
likes of Quincy Lewis, Charles
Thomas, and Courtney James, a
smart point guard in Eric Harris,
and a strong frontline willing to
do the dirty work is what made
this Gophers team complete.
After waltzing into the Sweet
Sixteen, the Gophers were taken
to OT by No. 4 seed, Clemson.
In the end, Bobby and Sams
combined 65 points were too
much and the Gophers advanced. With a trip to the Final
Four on the line, the Gophers
beat UCLA, 80-72. Unfortunately, Ron Mercer and the Kentucky Wildcats were waiting and
the Gophers would fall 78-69.
Regardless of the Kentucky loss
and vacated wins, this was easily
my favorite Gophers team ever
and its looking bleak that well
see a similarly fantastic tournament run from a Gophers team
any time soon.
1. Kirby Pucketts Game 6
walk-off home run to force
Game 7
And, well see you tomorrow night! were the famous
words from Hall of Fame playby-play man, Jack Buck. To me,
Game 6 was even more memorable than the Jack Morris gem
of Game 7. Why? For a few reasons. Puckett was far and away
my favorite Twins player, the
Twins were coming off a 14-5
drubbing in Game 5, and in
Game 6, outside of Pucketts 3
for 4, 3 RBI effort, the rest of the
team had gone 6-33 with one
RBI. Had Kirby not ended the
game just as he did, in the bottom of the 11th, Im not sure the
Twins would have extended the
game long enough for Puckett to
get another chance. But, he did
end it and the rest is history!

Committee member John
Rivers said, A very big Thank
You to the sponsors who make
the event possible and allow no
cost to the public. This year 49
sponsors from Wright County
contributed resources for the behind-the-scenes costs required to
put on a big day. Volunteers are
also critical to keeping all the
parts moving, and this year volunteers from the Maple Lake Diamonds and Dreams Sports
Fund will be working from 6:00
a.m. until 3:00 p.m. to assist
with traffic and parking directions.
Rivers stressed, This is a
family friendly event. You
wont find any bounce houses,
but the Minnesota Air National
Guard will have the cockpit of
an F-4 Phantom jet fighter in the
downtown area. Anyone can
climb in to get a pilots eye view.
The sound stage will be behind
the Maple Lake Messenger
building and DJ Bondo Bob will
be spinning his vintage vinyl
from 8 until 11 a.m. and emcee
the rest of the day. The Castaways are on stage from 11 a.m.
until 2:00 p.m., and Crankshaft
and the Gear Grinders are on
from 2:30 until 5:00 p.m. The
Swap Meet from 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. is a big part of the day,
and there will be a vintage dragster display of at least six machines in Madigans parking lot.
These cars from the 1950s and
60s approached speeds of 200
miles an hour in a quarter-mile.
No races are scheduled, but listen for the cackle fest when
they start their engines and let
them roar.
The only event at the Get Together that has a fee is the horsepower Dyno that will be onsite
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The machine measures the horsepower
of both cars and motorcycles.
$20.00 gets you up to 20 minutes of time and two pulls if desired. Sign up and scheduling
will be at the registration tent.
Gear-Head Get Together t-shirts
and ball caps cost $15.00 and
will be available at the registration booth; they can also be purchased before the Get Together
at the Maple Lake Costume
Shoppe.
Food and beverage vendors
will be available all day in the
downtown area, and a pork chop
dinner will be available from
11:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at the
airport. Public parking will be
available at Maple Lake High
School with free shuttle buses
available. From 8:00-9:00 a.m.
and 5:00-6:00 p.m. the shuttles
will operate between downtown
and the high school only. From
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the two
buses will make continuous
loops from the high school to
downtown to the airport. Public
parking is also available at Lakers Stadium, across from M & M
Express Lube, and on city streets
where parking is not prohibited.
Out at the airport, Experimental Aircraft Association
(EAA) Chapter 878 will be hosting their 29th annual Fly
In/Drive In. Chapter Secretary
Wayne Flury expects 50-60
fliers but cautions the event is
somewhat weather dependent.
Volunteers from the chapter will

cook and serve a pork chop dinner for pilots and visitors. The
event is a fundraiser for the
chapter, and Flury predicted the
cost will be similar to last year,
$8.00 for a one-chop meal and
$10.00 for two chops. Meals
will be served from 11:30 a.m.
until 2:00 p.m. with seating inside a hangar at the airport.
According to Flury, three
types of aircraft are likely to fly
in: manufactured planes such as
Cessnas, experimental models
that are home-built, and antique/classic planes from the
1930s and 40s. The ramps will
be open for everyone who wants
to look at the planes and talk to
the pilots. Flury said, The airport is a great community asset,
and everyone is invited to come
learn more about it. There will
be aircraft and aviation displays
and information about remote
control flying. Clowning for
Smiles by Dotz will provide entertainment and face painting between 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Flury said the Fly In/Drive In
is, a chance for pilots to see
some friends and exercise their
airplanes. It is also an opportunity for long time, new and honorary gear heads to check out
some high-flying machines and
enjoy a pork chop dinner. Everybody is welcome at both events,
and there will be plenty to see,
do and hear at Maple Lakes
Gear-Head Get Together and
EAA Chapter 878s Fly In/Drive
In. More information is available at www.hear-headgettogrther.com
Wright County Historical Society to the ways and means committee. The remuneration
received through the insurance
claim made by the historical society exceeds the actual amount
of the damages and the committee will discuss what to do with
the remaining funds that were
received.
* Approved a three-year contract with CliftonLarsonAllen
Inc. for $194,100. The contract
will run from 2015-17 and is
viewed as being a cost saving
measure as opposed to the costs
charged to do the countys annual audit through the state auditors office.
* Daleiden informed the
board that Clearwater Lake has
been found to contain zebra
mussels, an invasive species
known for choking off fish production in lakes. There are no
public accesses to the lake in
Wright County. They are all in
Stearns County. He said 40 percent of the boats tested at public
accesses failed initial inspections.
* Referred discussion of a remodeling project and expansion
of the assessors offices to the
building committee.
* Authorized obtaining
quotes for concerns over the existing roof of the current Public
Works Building. Moisture has
caused some shingles to buckle,
but, as of yet, there are no leaks
inside the building. The quotes
would be to perform work to
open the roof, investigate the
extent of any damage and, if
roof replacement is need, the
cost difference between another
shingle roof and a metal roof.
* Received an update on the
defunct River Riders program.
Sawatzke said that the next step
in the decertification process of
River Riders will be at the Minnesota Department of Transportation Board. Sawatzke said
that MnDOT will do an audit
and his expectation is that the
audit will be done with a microscope.
* From the building committee came a request for a cost
breakdown of a potential relocation of the countys law library.
* Authorized signatures on a
two-year contract between the
sheriffs department and the
City of Waverly for the county
to provide deputy service to the
city. The contract is for 2016-17
and calls for the city to get four
hours a day of patrol coverage
within the city limits.
County Board
In other items on the July 28
agenda, the board:
* In discussion of the personnel committee minutes, it was
estimated by Commissioner Pat
Sawatzke that the Public Works
Building project could impact
the 2016 levy (dollars in the
county budget that come from
taxpayers) and it could increase
by as much as 3.5 to 4 percent.
* In another personnel committee item, discussion took
place concerning the fairness of
department head reviews. Two
department heads Highway
Engineer Virgil Hawkins and
Information Technology Director Adam Tagarro had job performance reviews done and they
received different grades. Three
commissioners
reviewed
Hawkins job performance and
he received a Meets Expectations review. Four commissioners reviewed Tagarro and he
received Exceeds Expectations. Sawatzke said that may
have been due to a different
evaluation level from the varied
commissioners. As a result, the
minutes were tabled so all commissioners could provide department head reviews.
* Referred discussion of a
water damage claim at the
wRight Choice Program

Im concerned about what

were stepping into here,
Sawatzke said. When they
started the program three-and-ahalf years ago, apparently we
had space and everyone was
okay with it. The understanding
was going to be that, since the
space is available and were not
using it, were more than willing to let them use it. It makes
sense. I think crossing over to
were going to provide you this
space free, I just dont know if
we want to go there. There is
going to be a point in time probably not too far down the road
whether its a year-and-a-half or
three or four years where that
space isnt going to be available.
I think were accepting something here thats going to be
misunderstood in the future that
were responsible for this
space.
Commissioner Charlie Borrell saw things differently, citing
that the county should donate
the space as long as it isnt
being used. He pointed out that
Room C-120 in the courthouse
commonly known as the

Community Room is used by
several groups free of charge
and that the wRight Choice program shouldnt be any different.
When I read it I guess I had
a little bit of an opposite take on
it, Borrell said. The 4-H or
schools or different community
groups can come in and use C120 and we dont charge them
for that an evening event. We
look at it and say that this is the
communitys building. They
own it. I wondered about court
services paying for it because
then I think Commissioner
Sawatzke is correct. Maybe it
would better if we just made it
clear that were just going to let
them use it and if the space became unavailable to them that
they would have to find another
place in the future and let them
know that it is a gift, just like its
a gift when groups use C-120.
Sawatzke noted that the revenue source, which was $26,000
in the 2014-15 school year,
would technically fall back on
taxpayers noting that a signif-
icant portion of the Monticello

School District lies in Sherburne
County and students in Clearwater attend schools in St.
Cloud, giving no tax benefit to
people in those areas.
While the board was in
agreement that the program is
important and does good work,
it also takes a lot of staff time
over the course of a school year,
with employees from human
services, the sheriffs department, court services and the
county attorney office all having
interaction with the kids on
company time.
Unable to reach a consensus
on how to proceed, the board
sent the item back to the building committee to discuss the
funding formula to lease the
space in the county courthouse.
This is an important program, Sawatzke said. One
way or another, Im sure it will
continue. Our only question is
how it will be paid for and I
dont think it should be the
county that is responsible for
those payments.

Dr. James Jude

He obtained his undergraduate degree from the College of
St. Thomas in St. Paul. He graduated from the University of
Minnesota School of Medicine
in 1953 and interned at Johns
Hopkins University in Baltimore, the home town of his wife,
Sallye, where he experimented
with induced hypothermia as a
way to stop blood flow to the
heart by cooling it down and allowing surgical procedures to be
performed without fatal loss of
blood.
After experimenting with
rats, he found that hypothermia
often caused cardiac arrest, a
problem that two electrical engineers down the hall were addressing in experimental work
on dogs, using a defibrillator to
send electrical shocks to the
heart. William Kouwenhoven,
the inventor of a portable defibrillator, and G. Guy Knickerbocker, a doctoral student, had
seen that the mere weight of the
defibrillator paddles stimulated
cardiac activity when pressed
against a dogs chest. Dr. Jude
instantly saw the potential for
human medicine and began
working with Kouwenhoven and
Knickerbocker.
In July 1959, when a 35-yearold woman being anesthetized
for a gall bladder operation went
The Annandale Lions Clubs announces...
into cardiac arrest, Dr. Jude, instead of using the standard technique of opening the chest and
massaging the heart directly, applied rhythmic, manual pressure.
Her blood pressure came back
at once, he recalled. We didnt
have to open up her chest.
The operation was completed
and the patient made a complete
recovery.
In 1960, the three partners
published an article in The Journal of the American Medical Association,
Closed-Chest
Cardiac Massage, reporting that
when the technique was used on
20 patients, ranging in age from
20 months to 80 years, 14 of
them resumed normal heart
function.
Anyone, anywhere, can now
initiate cardiac resuscitative procedures, the authors concluded.
All that is needed is two hands.
Cardiac massage evolved into
CPR when Dr. Jude and his team
collaborated with doctors at Baltimore City Hospital (now Johns
Hopkins Bayview Medical Center) who had been working on
pulmonary resuscitation, a noninvasive method of restoring
lung function. Neither team had
known what the other was up to,
but when the two were brought
together, their techniques were
combined to create what they
called heart-lung resuscitation.

The American Heart Association formally accepted the technique in 1963, renaming it
cardiopulmonary resuscitation,
believing that term sounded
more professional.
After helping develop CPR
and serving as an attending surgeon and professor of medicine
at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Jude was
a professor of surgery and chief
of thoracic and cardiovascular
surgery at the University of
Miami School of Medicine and
Jackson Memorial Hospital in
Miami. There, he and several
colleagues outfitted some of the
first mobile cardiac units and
trained paramedics in CPR. In
1971, he went into private practice, from which he retired in
2000.
Jude authored Closed Chest
Cardiac Resuscitation: Methods,
Indications, Limitations, published by the American Heart
Association in 1966, and was the
co-author, with James O. Elam,
of Fundamentals of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (1967).
He was also a co-author of Coping with Heart Surgery and Bypassing Depression (1991).
A humble man, Jude made
light of his part in developing
CPR, a breakthrough that The
Journal of the American Medical
Association had recently compared to the discovery of penicillin.

It was just serendipity
being in the right place at the
right time and working on something for which there was an obvious need, he told the alumni
newsletter of the University of
St. Thomas in 1984. Things like
that happen in medicine all the
time.
In November of 2010, Jude
was honored at The Beat Goes
On: 50 Years of CPR hosted by
the Center for a Healthy Maryland to honor the pioneers who
developed CPR.
In December of 2010, Jude
attended a 50th anniversary CPR
celebration presented by the
Emergency Cardiovascular Care
Update 2010 to the Citizen CPR
Foundation where he met heart
attack survivors saved by CPR.
In May of 2011, Dr. Jude received the AXA Advisors Lifetime Achievement Award during
the Greater Miami Chamber of
Commerces 2011 Health Care
Heroes Awards.
Jude is survived by his wife,
Sallye; his sons, Roderick, John,
Robert and Christopher; daughters, Cecilia Prahl and Victoria
Steele; his sister, Monica Loch;
13 grandchildren; and three
great-grandchildren.

Deer Population
Given the mild winter for
most of the state and reduced
harvest last year, we anticipate
that hunters will be seeing more
deer when afield, and we are already hearing from people that
they are seeing more deer this
summer, McInenly said. We
are continuing a conservative
harvest approach in order to
raise deer numbers consistent
with our recent goal-setting
process.
The 2015 season marks the
second year of a management
approach to rebuild deer populations based on goal setting and
listening sessions that indicated
a desire for more deer in many
areas.
Northern Minnesota hunters
will again feel the impact of a
bucks-only season. In bucksonly areas, no antlerless deer
may be harvested by any hunter,
including those with archery or
youth licenses. Similarly, no
antlerless deer may be harvested
by any adult hunters in youth-
Two
only antlerless areas. However,

as a result of 2015 legislation,
new this year is an exception allowing either-sex harvest by any
hunter age 84 and up or by
hunters who are residents of veterans homes.
Another change this year is
the return of youth-only antlerless harvest for a few areas in
southwestern Minnesota. The
measure is designed to increase
populations into goal range in
areas where antlerless harvest
under the lottery system hasnt
been restrictive enough to increase deer numbers.
Details on buying a license
All hunters who purchase licenses by Sept. 10 are automatically entered into the lottery if
they declare a lottery deer permit area. Those who do not wish
to harvest an antlerless deer are
encouraged to purchase their license after the lottery deadline.
Hunters may apply using both
their firearm and muzzleloader
licenses. If hunters are selected
for both licenses, they must select the one season in which they
want to shoot an antlerless deer.
Deer hunting licenses, lottery
applications and special hunt applications are available at any
DNR license agent, by telephone at 888-665-4236 or online
at
www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense.
Lottery winners will be notified
in October.

A second project that will
improve
the
Highway
25/County Road 75 intersection
in downtown Monticello is
scheduled to begin later this
year.
When complete by Sept. 3,
2015, the projects will improve
safety, traffic flow and the ride
quality on Highway 25 in Monticello.

August Weed of the Month: Poison Ivy

by Emilie Justen
MN Dept. of Agriculture
Poison ivy (Toxicodendron

radicans and T. rybergii) is the
only plant native to Minnesota
on the noxious weed list. Poison ivy contains toxic compounds that can severely irritate
human skin. The leaves, roots,
and stems of poison ivy contain
an oily resin that causes a rash,
blisters, or swelling to human
skin. Poison ivy can be found
growing in woodland habitats,
along fence rows, ditches, pastures, and natural areas. It must
be controlled for public safety
along rights-of-way, trails, public accesses, business properties open to the public or on
parts of lands where public access for business or commerce
is granted. It must also be controlled along property borders
when requested by adjoining

landowners. Though harmful to
humans, poison ivy is beneficial for wildlife.
Poison ivy is a perennial
that can grow as a climbing
vine (T. radicans) or shrub (T.
rybergii). The vine form is
found only in southeastern
Minnesota and the small shrub
form is found throughout the
state. Depending on its growth
habit, the height of the plant
can vary from one to two feet
in the shrub form, and three to
12 feet in the vine form. It can
reproduce by seed and shoots
that grow from the roots.
The leaves of poison ivy are
an important identification
characteristic. The leaves are
compound and consist of three
leaflets that are 2-7 inches long
and 1-4 inches wide. The leaves
have pointed tips and irregularly toothed margins. They

also have prominent mid-veins.
Always be cautious when
working in and around this
plant, and be aware that the
toxic compound can be spread
by freshly contaminated clothing, gloves, footwear, and pet
hair.
Do not burn poison ivy.
The toxic compounds can be
inhaled from the smoke and
cause serious respiratory problems.
Control or eradication by
hand is not recommended.
Mowing may reduce the
spread and population size of a
poison ivy stand. Wear protective clothing and completely
rinse any equipment after operating in poison ivy.
Various herbicides have
been used successfully to control poison ivy. Check with

your local University of Minnesota Extension agent, co-op,
or landscape care expert for assistance and recommendations.
Red Cross issues urgent call for most needed blood types
Type O negative, B negative, A negative blood donors asked to restock shelves
The American Red Cross is
facing a looming shortage of the
blood types most needed by patients and is calling on eligible
donors with O negative, B negative and A negative blood to
give now to prevent an emergency situation. Blood donation
appointments can be quickly
and easily scheduled by using
the Red Cross Blood Donor
App, visiting redcrossblood.org
or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
Overall blood donations in
the Red Cross North Central
Blood Services Region have
been approximately 1,734 fewer
per month in June and July this
year than the previous 10
months of the year. When demand for the most needed types
begins to outpace donations, the

Red Cross alerts donors to help
restock the shelves.
Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be
transfused to patients with any
blood type. Types B negative
and A negative can be transfused to Rh positive or negative
patients. Eligible donors are encouraged to donate double red
cells a process where two
units of red cells are collected
while most of the plasma and
platelets are returned to the
donor where available.
Summer blood shortages
are not uncommon, but they can
be prevented when generous
volunteers roll up their sleeves
to help save lives, said Sue
Thesenga,
communications
manager for the Red Cross
North Central Blood Services
Region. Many donors have already given this summer. Were
now asking donors who havent
donated, and those who are eligible again, to make an appointment to give now to help ensure
blood products are available for
patients.
Platelets and type AB
plasma also needed
Platelet donors and those
with type AB blood are also
continually needed to help ensure patients receive the lifesaving blood products they need.
Platelets a key clotting component of blood often needed by
cancer patients, surgical pa-
tients and bone narrow recipients must be transfused within

five days of donation, so donations are constantly needed.
Donors with type AB blood are
urged to give blood or platelets
to restock the plasma supply.
Type AB donors have the universal plasma type, which can
be given to patients of all blood
types.
Individuals who donated
blood earlier this summer may
be eligible to donate again and
help patients like an expectant
mother at a Red Cross-supported hospital who is currently
receiving nearly 100 units of
blood products a week until she
delivers. Her need alone could
add up to 1,100 units.

Wright County Fair

It was just a good fair all
around, he said, just a good old
country fair.
The local area was well represented in general exhibits, with
entries in several categories, from
cattle to canned goods to collectibles. As both contestants and
spectators, Maple Lake residents
contributed their share to the
fairs successful run and a happy
event for fairgoers of all ages.
Maria Zaske of Maple Lake
was named one of this years
Wright County Fairest of the Fair
Ambassadors, along with Amy
Marquette of Buffalo and

Chelsea Menshausen of Monticello.
As always, area 4-H club
members brought their best efforts to the fair with aspirations
of blue ribbons and championship honors. At press time, official results were still being
tallied and will be published in
next weeks issue of the Messenger.
A variety of exhibits, events
and activities were available, including those pictured on this
page.
