New WrightCounty websitecoming soon

by John Holler

Correspondent

Anyone who has seen the

Wright County website has im-

mediately noticed that it is es-

sentially the same format that it

was when Wright County first

went online more than 15 years

ago. Anyone attempting to find

a service or information from

the website has often been frus-

trated. At the Nov. 5 meeting of

the Wright County Board of

Commissioners, the process ofchanging that took a big step

forward.

Information Technology Di-

rector Bill Swing came before

the board to present the bids

from three vendors that were fi-

nalists for the website redesign.

The board approved the pro-

posal from CivicPlus, a com-

pany with experience working

with many counties and cities

throughout the country, includ-

ing St. Paul, St. Cloud and

Anoka, Washington, Blue Earth

and Crow Wing counties in

Minnesota.

Our evaluation team

screened six responses for our

proposal and narrowed it downto three, Swing said. Specifi-

cations had been sent out to 29

vendors and we got some very

strong responses.

What pushed CivicPlus over

the top was due to its experience

with county and city websites,

its strong track record of per-

formance and its willingness to

make updates and changes to

the design of the website as

needed in the future.

After all was said and done,

we approved going into negoti-

ations with CivicPlus. There

were several factors involved,

but of their many positives, hav-

ing an imprint in Minnesotawith similar counties and cities

of our size was an important fac-

tor.

The expectation is to have

the new website design ready to

roll out early next year.

For the first time in school his-

tory, the Maple Lake Irish football

team will be playing in the state

semifinal game. With a 28-10 win

over Pine Island, the Irish earned

the right to play Minneota/LH at 2

p.m. Thursday at the Metrodome.

Early in the contest, it did not

look like that would be the case.

Pine Island's first drive ended

with a 51-yard run for an early 7-0

lead. Then they added a 45-yard

field goal that hit the cross bar and

bounced over to go up 10-0.

The Irish responded with a

monster run of their own, when

Dusty Strub took a backfield toss

78 yards to pay dirt.

"As soon as he got around the

edge, he outran everybody," coach

Tim Knudsen said.

So, instead of going into half-

time down two scores, the score-

board read 10-7.

"Only being down three points

at halftime, we felt really good,"

Knudsen said. "We made a few

adjustments at halftime in what

we wanted to do."

Growing up in Maple Lake,

Matt Wagner pretended to be a

rock star with his brothers and

cousins. Now he's pursuing a ca-

reer in pop folk music under the

name of James Warren.

His plan is to put out a five-

song EP in the Nashville studio of

Tesla drummer Troy Luccketta

with Pillar guitarist Noah Henson

as producer.

In order to reach that goal, War-

ren is turning to

www.kickstarter.com/profile/jame

swarrenmusic, where fans can

pledge to support his project. A

total of $15,050 must be pledged

by Jan. 5, 2014, in order for the

project to be funded.

"People are pledging and we'll

involve everyone in the experience

with the rewards they get," Warren

said. "It's not every day that some-

one from small town Minnesota

goes to Nashville. We want to take

them on the journey. We'll be blog-

ging and posting videos and show

what it's like to make a record in

Nashville with some pretty cool

rock stars."

While Warren now plays guitar,

his roots are in percussion. He par-

ticipated in school band, jazz band,

marching band and the Dassel-

Cokato drum line in high school.

Should Corinna Township

solely administer shoreland zon-

ing authority? The Wright

County Board of Commissioners

met as a committee of a whole at

a public hearing with about 50

constituents to gather opinions

about the issue.

Corinna Township Zoning

Administrator Ben Oleson shared

that the township has been dis-

cussing the issue since late 2005

and has been administering

shoreland zoning controls for

three years under temporary

agreements with Wright County.

The criteria is that the town-

ship must be at least as restrictive

as the county and the administra-

tion has to be as effective, Ole-

son said.

He believes the townshipmeets those requirements be-

cause the township has the same

zoning map as the county, he

makes regular site visits to every

property and works with a town-

ship attorney on enforcement

matters, staff receives regular

training and all zoning informa-

tion is available online.

I believe we have a good

model, Wright County Planning

and Zoning Administrator Sean

Riley said later of the sharing

agreement. Were enforcing

state-level regulations and having

township input as a key part of

the process is a good model. We

have professional staff, are also

sincere and want to protect the re-sources and not play favorites.

Several residents spoke out on

both sides of the issue.

County government will al-

ways be in a better position to ad-

minister planning and zoning of

available resources, said Dave

Levi, who lives on Cedar Lake.

Vietnam War veteran Mike

Yanish lit a candle and saluted.

"One of our people who

should have been here today that

could not is a prisoner of war,

was a prisoner of war or is still

unaccounted for," Yanish told

those gathered at a Veterans Day

event Monday in the Maple

Lake High School auditorium.

"We walk and talk for those whoare unaccounted for."

Yanish, of the Wat-Kim-Val-

ley POW MIA Honorguard, said

the group formed when he and

fellow veterans were wondering

what it would be like as a family

to send a son to war and never

know their whereabouts.

I had the opportunity to tune up my eyeballs one day last week

at Gold Meadows with Mike Muller and believe me they need a

lot of fine-tuning. My hunting associates would readily agree

that most of the time Im just blowing holes in the sky. My alibi

is that I have good days and bad days and so far this fall I seem

to be racking up way too many bad days. Both of our dogs, Vana

and Mikes Lucky, had a great morning with all the birds and

scent that was present at the shooting preserve. Lucky is a young

aggressive English Setter and surprised Mike when he retrieved

the pheasants even though he didnt receive an A+ from the

trainer. Vana ran down one of my cripples, but she was reluctant

to bring it back. Both dogs were hot on a crippled rooster in a

harvested corn field, chasing it in the weeds with Lucky bringing

it back to Mike. Im hoping Vana will pick up the retrieving

habit learning from Lucky and Daryl Hennens Coco. A day

trip to Morris in Fridays wind with Anna along to keep me com-

pany turned out to be kind of an exercise in futility. The windmade it miserable hunting, but Vana did her job and gave me

enough points on roosters for a two-bird limit. My miserable

shooting hasnt improved and the one bird that I broke a wing

on apparently wasnt hit very hard and it got away from both me

and Vana to add insult to injury. . . Im toying with the

idea of calling it a day when I get two chances and blow them

both! Saturday was backyard cleanup day even though the

leaves were still wet from the snow and rain, but on Sunday

Daryl Hennen and I decided to explore the area west of Milan.

We had planned on breakfast at the More Cafe in Milan but it

was closed and the cafe near the river serves breakfast, but their

stove was down and the owner recommended Pegs Cafe in Ap-

pleton where we ended up eating biscuits and gravy. There were

lots of deer hunters and a few pheasant hunters out enjoying

themselves on a day that was warm with little wind. Hennen

harvested a rooster off of Cocos point in a Walk In Area to get

us off to a good start. I had an opportunity in the afternoon when

Vana went on point along a fence line in a WMA (Wildlife Man-

agement Area). When nothing happened I tapped my gun barrel

on the barb wire and the rooster jumped. It looked easy, but nei-

ther of my shots were effective. Regardless, I praised Vana for

her efforts and rejoined Hennen, but not before flushing seven

hens. Later in the day we found a WIA that wasnt in the atlas.

Hennen was walking the edge of a bean field and had threeroosters flush. He connected on one that fell in the bean field

and I got a look at the second one he shot at which had one leg

dangling. Coco went out to retrieve the first bird, which Henne n

said suddenly got up and flew only to die in mid-air and fall into

the grass on the edge of the WIA. Coco apparently didnt see

the roosters resurgence and continued to hunt for the downed

bird rather then help us out looking for the dead bird. Vana even-

tually found the rooster and stood guard until I picked it up.

Finding his second bird was more difficult and we had pretty

much given up and started hunting again when Vana went on

point and suddenly lunged for the crippled bird which she held

down until I got to her. Im not sure what the shooting rule book

says on doubles, but after some diligent thought Ill give Hennen

credit for a double, after all he hit both of them. I had one more

golden opportunity that afternoon when Vana gave me another

great point, but I let her down. We were pleased with both dogs

efforts and Vana is showing more aggressiveness in her second

year of hunting with me. I liked the way she handled the crippled

bird which didnt have any teeth gouges in its breast when I

dressed it out. . . In the deer hunting department Ron

Rassat and Tom Neu each harvested eight-point bucks on suc-

cessive days, Ron on Saturday and Tom on Sunday in Folden

Hills Township near Henning in Ottertail County where they

have a cabin. Its an area I hunted while growing up, but Im

sure they know the area better than me. It was kind of unique

because it had an old country school house commonly referred

to as the lost schoolhouse. I dont think the building is still

there, but there is a road labelled Lost Schoolhouse Road, ap-

parently in its memory.

Congratulations to the Irish gridders for your come-from-be-

hind win Friday night. Practicing in the snow didnt look very

appealing last week, but were sure it helped get you prepared.

Great going guys, and were with you all the way!

Good News

The other day at the gym, we

had just finished hearing the rela-

tive merits of Silver Sneakers ver-

sus Silver & Fit from Tom, the

instructor, when Bob said to me, It

looks like we've separated into two

teams here.

He was right. The people in our

exercise class had split down the

middle, with a dozen on the other

side of the room and a dozen on

our side. And the split was bal-

anced, with each team having just

as many diligent exercisers as fat

out-of-shape people with a fear of

death by flab.

I think we should make a team

sport of this, I said. Let's split uplike we did in junior high school

gym class. Those guys on the other

side of the room will be the Skins,

and we can be the Shirts. That's

how Mr. Rodenborn did it in eighth

grade basketball. Once in awhile a

Shirt would pull up his shirt and a

Skin would mistakenly pass the

ball to him, but most of us can't

throw any more, so that wouldn't

be a problem. Tom always tells us

how bad we are at bouncing balls.

Oh, I think it would be a big

problem, said Bob. Not throwing

the ball, but getting the Skins to

take off their shirts. Look around.

How many of those people would

you like to see with their shirts off?

Some of us just ate, you know. Not

many of them would want to take

off their shirts, either, like the

woman in the black over there. She

still looks pretty good in a t-shirt

and she'd object for sure. Or Ted,

who just replaced his pacemaker

and has another scar. I can imagine

how that looks, but I'd rather not.

Some of my ideas won't ever

come to pass. I suspect those Skins

take off their clothes in the locker

room, and what's the harm in going

up to the exercise room that way?

After all, they can keep their shorts

and sweatpants on. But with people

who have seven or eight decades of

experienceor six, or nineyoucan expect they'd be set in their

ways. I don't bother to use the pool

at the gym, and don't know if they

treat that the way we did in junior

high, where the girls had swim

suits but the boys didn't. Nobody

complained then. Of course we

didn't swim at the same time, or use

the same locker rooms.

People have bad ideas from

time to time. Think of the Edsel. Or

New Coca-Cola. Now we can look

back at those ideas and say they

were no good. But at the time, who

knew?

Bob's probably right. I guess I'll

drop the idea. When I go to class, I

usually just ate, too.

Its hard to believe that Ive

been the editor of the Maple Lake

Messenger for a year.

Mondays Veterans Day pro-

gram marked that milestone for

me, as it was the first thing I cov-

ered a year ago.

Once again, I was impressed

not only with the quality of the pro-

gram, but the way the students car-

ried themselves.

When the veterans were speak-

ing, the students listened. When the

students participated in the event

by reading, reciting the pledge or

singing, I could tell they were

proud to salute veterans.

And, of course the best part is

when the students went down thereceiving line of veterans, shaking

their hands and thanking them for

their service. Speaker Mike Yanish

said the act meant a lot to him, as

he had not been warmly welcomed

home from Vietnam.

Suffice it to say that the pro-

gram was a success.

As I start my second year here,

Ive been reflecting a lot on my first

year.

The learning curve has leveled

out a bit, but it still seems like I am

learning something new every

week, if not every day.

Some things I have learned

from making mistakes.

Among those mistakes was my

inclusion of a photo of a vehicle

that was in an accident in last

weeks paper.

I was happy to report that the in-

dividual had escaped without life-

threatening injury. That was largely

because she was wearing a seatbelt,

something that should have been

included. In fact, the details of the

accident should have been verified

with more than one source before

it was printed.Furthermore, the photo should

not have been printed without per-

mission of the individual who had

taken it.

I sincerely apologize to every-

one involved and thank everyone

who contacted me with concerns,

as I cannot correct or learn from a

mistake if I do not know about it.

Thank you for bearing with me

as I try to make the paper better.

Question 1: If you are tak-

ing a right turn at a light andthe light is red, are you sup-

posed to stop? I ask because

my daughter and I walk every-

where and a few times we

have almost been hit by cars

turning right while we had the

walk signal.

Answer 1: Yes, drivers

coming upon a red light and

turning right MUST stop.

Question 2: Are you sup-

posed to stop before a stop

sign or is it legal to stop past

the stop sign. I have seen a lot

of people stop after and intocross walks.

Answer 2: Vehicular traffic

facing a circular red

signal/stop sign alone must

stop at a clearly marked stop

line but, if none, before enter-

ing the crosswalk on the near

side of the intersection or, if

none, then before entering the

intersection and shall remain

standing until legal and safe to

proceed through.

Question 3: Are cars sup-

posed to wait for you to be out

of a cross walk or can they

pass if there is space for them

to go by you? These questions

are very important to me as I

was already hit by a car while

in a park with my daughter. I

now have panic attacks when

cars come close to me. So if

these are legal actions I will beeven more cautious about

walking.

Answer 3: Here is what the

Minnesota State Statute says

about pedestrians and vehicles

pertaining to crosswalks:

Where traffic-control signals

are not in place or in opera-

tion, the driver of a vehicle

shall stop to yield the right-of-

way to a pedestrian crossing

the roadway within a marked

crosswalk or at an intersection

with no marked crosswalk.

The driver must remain

stopped until the pedestrian

has passed the lane in which

the vehicle is stopped. No

pedestrian shall suddenly

leave a curb or other place of

safety and walk or run into the

path of a vehicle which is so

close that it is impossible forthe driver to yield.

If you have any questions

concerning traffic related laws

or issues in Minnesota, send

your questions to Trp. Jesse

Grabow Minnesota State Pa-

trol at 1000 Highway 10 West,

Detroit Lakes, MN 56501-

2205. (You can follow him on

NOV. 12 REPORT OF THE

WRIGHT COUNTY SHERIFF

Chamber hosts craft sale

Maple Lake Fire Department Report

He believes the sharing

agreement should continue

under the same state law that al-

lows townships to control zon-

ing independently of the

county.

Joint exercise of powers fa-

cilitate more logical, consistent

and efficient administration of

shoreland management goals,

Levi quoted from the statute.

Local governments are en-

couraged to enter into joint

powers agreements with adja-

cent or other similarly situated

bodies of government, includ-

ing counties, to jointly admin-

ister shoreland management

control.

He contended that the cur-rent relationship was working

well and changing it would re-

sult in little or no savings.

About 60 percent of those who

live on Cedar Lake do not have

voting privileges in Corinna

Township due to their perma-

nent address.

Corinna Township Planning

Commission Chair Charlotte

Quiggle shared the opposite

opinion and offered a thorough

comparison between the town-

ship and county as supporting

evidence.

Property owners have told

the township theyd rather work

with township people who live

in their community, Quigglesaid. This was overly ap-

proved at a crowded 2006 an-

nual meeting.

She said permits could be

submitted 24-7 via a drop box

and said Corinna Township

Planning Commission members

are required to make site visits

for each property prior to a pub-

lic hearing while county board

members make limited site vis-

its.

While county notices are

printed in the Howard Lake

Herald-Journal and are not

available online, Corinna

Township notices are printed in

the Maple Lake Messenger and

Annandale Advocate and are

available at www.hometown-

planning.com, where landown-

ers can also sign up for email

notices about zoning issues.

Any subscriber is automat-

ically sent an email with the

link to an updated meeting

agenda or staff reports on the

website, Quiggle said. This

allows property owners to be

involved with land-use deci-

sions no matter where they

are.

She contrasted that online

availability to that of two other

townships that administer all

land-use: Middleville Town-

ships website does not publish

meeting agendas or minutesand Stockholm Township does

not have a website.

As for regulations, Quiggle

said, Corinna Township not

only requires a plan for erosion

and pollution control during

construction, but also a perma-

nent stormwater plan prior to

receiving a variance.

Clearwater Lake Property

Owners Association President

Tom Bacon agreed with Quig-

gle and said a lake property that

was sold in 1997 has a septic

system that is not up to code de-

spite a county ordinance requir-

ing it to be upon point of sale.

Arv Klemz, who lives on

Sugar Lake, gave another ex-ample.

A year and a half ago, the

person who lives next to us

started cutting trees. I called

Buffalo but, to my knowledge,

I got no response, Klemz said.

This property has a bluff in it

and I understand its illegal to

cut into it. He did cut a road

into it and cut trees on top of it.

I called Corinna and they had

people out there within two

hours.

He called the townships ap-

proach fair and balanced.

Corinna Township Planning

Commission member Trish

Taylor said the committee care-

fully considers each request.

We dont just send it

through; we look at every-

thing, she said. Weve even

denied people a lot of things,

which is really hard.

Barry Schultz, another com-

mission member, told the

county commissioners they

would not be kept out of the

loop if the township is given

sole responsibility for shore-

land zoning.

Were an open book, he

said. We just feel weve

earned the right to handle it

ourselves.

Kathy Jonsrud, of Cedar

Lake, said she is concerned

about the sustainability of thetownship administering shore-

land zoning.

In Hennepin County, the

last township said, Were not

going to do it anymore because

its too expensive, Jonsrud

said. Also, the quality of peo-

ple. Weve heard tonight about

the commitment Charlotte and

her group have and the leader-

ship Charlotte has brought, but

what happens if we dont have

Charlotte?

The other thing is, as we

move forward, the whole con-

cept of making a dispassionate

decision, Jonsrud continued.

I do believe the county is in a

better position to step back andmake that dispassionate deci-

sion.

Riley added to that discus-

sion.

Ultimately, whos been

caught in the middle of this is

the taxpayers, citizens and vot-

ers of the township, Riley said.

Someone brought up being

taxed twice, Commissioner

Christine Husom added later.

Im interested about the im-

pact on taxpayers.

Husom and her fellow com-

missioners were unable to make

a decision at the hearing, but

said they would do so at a fu-

ture public meeting.

Maple Lakes Volunteer Fire

Dept. and Ambulance Service

responded to the following

emergencies during the past

week:

Nov. 8, 10:08 p.m.: Medical.

Patient transported by Maple

Lake Ambulance to the Buffalo

Hospital ER.


No ambulance transportation.


Patient transported by Allina

Ambulance.



Lake Ambulance to the St.

Cloud Hospital ER.



Lake Ambulance to the Buffalo

Hospital ER.

Nov. 5, 4:43 p.m.: Medical

alarm, no ambulance trans-

portation.

There were no emergency

fire calls during the same time

period.

It cant come soon enough,

Commissioner Mark Daleiden

said. Weve wanted to update

our technology and having a web-

site that is actually user-friendly

was part of that process. Its frus-

trating to find anything on the

current website and I think people

will be surprised to see how much

improved the new site will be.

In other business, the board: Named Lee Kelly as the

county coordinator. Kelly, who

had been special projects admin-

istrator for the county, served as

interim county coordinator fol-

lowing the retirement of Dick

Norman earlier this year. In a re-

lated item, the board referred the

position of special projects ad-

ministrator to the personnel com-

mittee to initiate the recruitment

process for the position.

Referred discussion of em-

ployees bringing their own elec-

tronic devices to work to the tech-

nology committee. Interest in

such a policy has been presented

to the county by several depart-

ments.

Approved a memo of under-

standing with the cities of Cokato,

Albertville and Waverly, as well

as French Lake Township and

Cokato Township for the pur-chase and storage of salt and sand

for the 2013-14 snow/ice control

season.

Set a public hearing for 9:30

a.m. at the Dec. 3 board meeting

to discuss proposed changes to

the county fees-for-service sched-

ule.

Approved a repair request to

County Ditch 34 from the City of

Delano. The city is in the process

of developing an industrial park

and, as part of that process in

2011, provided $20,000 for up-

grades to the ditch system. It is

expected those funds will be used

to make the requested repair.

Authorized signatures on a

natural resources block grant in

the amount of $105,465. The

agreement is between the county

and the Minnesota Board of

Water and Soil Resources.

Named Kelly as the countysvoting delegate and Commis-

sioner Mike Potter as the alternate

at the Minnesota Counties Inter-

governmental Trust annual meet-

ing in December.

Approved an Emergency

Management Performance Grant

for $59,374 with the Department

of Homeland Security. The grant

amount is the highest the county

has ever received.

Set the policy for Christmas

Eve at the county courthouse. The

courthouse will be open Tuesday,

Dec. 24, but will close at noon.

Approved the list of 2014

ditch assessments. As part of the

listing, for those assessments that

will take more than one year to

repay, the board approved an in-

terest rate of 2.33 percent, per

state statute.

Authorized obtaining price

quotes for a boundary fence be-tween a county park near Hasty

and the property of an adjacent

landowner. Under the 100-year-

old laws that govern such matters,

when a fence between properties

is erected, both sides pay half the

cost of building the fence.

Approved a 2014-15 contract

between the City of Montrose and

the sheriffs department. The con-

tract calls for 2,020 contract hours

of patrol services in both years of

the contract.

That's when he met drummer

Tony Mazzone, who was the

Maple Lake band director in War-

ren's final year. Warren went on to

teach percussion at Dassel-

Cokato, where he met guitarist

and bassist Tony Sylverss.

Both Mazzone and Sylverss

will be a part of Warren's EP.

In fact, Mazzone's connections

made the album possible in the

first place.

"Tony Mazzone is a friend of

Troy's. He's been a tech for him,"

Warren said. "Two years ago, Troy

was in town and Tony said, 'Listen

to this demo.' He really liked it."

Warren was surprised to hear

that Luccketta was listening to his

demo tracks."I said, 'He's what? They're not

finished. Don't share that," Warren

recalled.

He went on to release an album

with pop influences, but he wasn't

happy with it.

"I was trying to please other

people more than myself," Warren

said. "It served its purpose, but it

also opened my eyes to who I am

as an artist and who I want to be."

When Warren was starting to

create his new project, Mazzone

encouraged him to contact Lucck-

etta. The two have been in touch

since and Wagner met Luccketta

in his Nashville studio.

"We met up, toured his studio,

talked to him, met with a potentialproducer and engineer and hashed

out details to get a vibe for what

we wanted to do," Warren said.

"As things started to come to-

gether, he said, 'I think you should

work with Noah Henson as a pro-

ducer.'"

Wagner was familiar with

Henson as guitarist of the Chris-

tian rock band Pillar.

"He's a talented guitarist and

producer," Warren said. "They're

both in rock bands and we're

going to do a folk album and I

think people will be surprised with

how it turns out."

As for the content of the

album, Warren calls it pop funk

that is influenced by his life expe-riences.

"When I was putting out my

album, I was hospitalized, which

was scary for me," Warren said.

"They weren't sure if I was going

to make it. The day before I was

released, our house started on fire.

That all happened in a three-week

period when I was trying to re-

lease an album, so there are a lot

of personal elements in the new

album along with spiritual and

lyrical content."

Warren is looking forward to

sharing that music, with the help

of online backers, including some

who he does not know.

As of Tuesday morning, 21

backers had pledged $1,447.

"It's super cool to see complete

strangers say this is a cool project

and they want to be a part of it,"

Warren said. "I think that speaks

volumes to what we're doing."

DNR question of the weekQuestion: It seems like

you see more and more wild

turkeys these days near urban

areas. Is this just cyclical, or has

their population shifted?

Answer: Turkeys are an-other species of wildlife that

have adapted to living close to

people. Prohibitions on hunting,

the relative lack of predators,

and the abundant food sources

found in urban and suburban

areas contribute to high repro-

duction and low mortality for

turkeys and other wildlife in

urban areas.

The preservation of natural

areas, including river corridors,

wetlands, parks, and backyards

provide habitat for many

wildlife species that many peo-

ple feel contribute to a higherurban quality of life.

to winterOutdoor exercise still a possibilitywhen temperatures drop

When colder weather sets in,

some people abandon their out-

door fitness routines for the com-

fort of indoor gyms and home

exercise equipment. However,

walking in the winter and even

jogging, when practical, are not

limited to the warmer months of

the year. Outdoor conditions can

be a bit treacherous, so safety and

common sense should always

prevail.

ootwearWhile winter walking is a

good way to warm up and get in

a workout, it requires different

footwear than regular walking

shoes. The correct footwear will

provide support, warmth and

traction for traversing various

conditions.

Start by choosing footwear

that is warm. Cer tain boots and

booties will have a lining that im-

proves heat retention. Wear

warm socks and waterproof or

water-resistant shoes. They willprotect against wet, chilled feet if

you come across slushy puddles

along the way. Although wet feet

might be merely an inconven-

ience other times of the year, in

very cold temperatures, a cold

and wet body can be susceptible

to hypothermia and even frost-

bite.

Look for shoes that have a

mid-height ankle. This height of-

fers support and stability to the

ankles when walking on uneven

surfaces, such as snow-covered

paths. Also, should your foot slip

on slick pavement, a taller shoe

will protect the ankle against

sprains or fractures.

Additionally, choose a shoe or

boot that has a thick but not too

heavy sole for better traction on

icy areas.

WardrobeLayering is essential when ex-

ercising outdoors in cold weather.

You want to ensure that you will

be warm enough, but not too

warm that you begin to sweat

and run the risk of hypothermia

later on. Dress so that you feel

chilled when stepping outdoors,

not toasty warm. As your body

warms up with the exercise, it will

reach a comfortable tempera-

ture.

A windbreaker is good for

blocking chilly, winter winds.

Choose a jacket that will move

with your body and not impede

walking stride or jogging ability.Tights or yoga pants that wick

moisture away will insulate your

legs, and a fleece vest can help

keep your body's core warm

when it is particularly cold out-

side.

Don't overlook gloves and a

hat when walking. These items

will prevent heat from escaping

through your extremities.

SafetyWinter conditions may lead to

snowblindness or reduced visibil-

ity for drivers. If you will be walk-

ing on roads, dress for visibility.

Avoid colors that will blend in

with snowy surroundings and opt

for bright flashes of color that

make you more visible, particu-

larly at dawn, dusk and night.

Whenever possible, do your

outdoor exercising when the sun

is up. You'll benefit from the

mood-boosting properties of the

sun and will have added warmth

and visibility. Furthermore, spend-

ing time in the outdoor sun en-

ables your body to produce

vitamin D, which helps maintain

healthy bones. Spending time

outdoors can stave off winter

doldrums and cabin fever.

Exercise with a buddy, who

can help you if you slip or fall on

icy surfaces. Walking or running

with a partner also is a great way

to remain motivated.

If you feel very unstable walk-

ing on slippery roads and path-

ways, you may want to invest inwinter cleats or crampons that

can be attached to the underside

of your shoes. These devices offer

superior traction.

Off roadingIf you want to pack in a more

powerful winter workout, you

can think about walking through

the snow rather than around it.

According to fitness experts at

Weight Watchers International,

walking in packed snow increases

the calories burned by 60 per-

cent compared to walking on a

paved road. Walking in soft snow

triples the calories burned com-

pared to walking at the same

speed on a treadmill. In addition,the added resistance of the snow

can firm and tone muscles.

Purchase snow shoes or

cross-country skis and poles to

facilitate walking in the snow. For

those who want to forego struc-

tured exercise, simply having fun

in the snow, by trekking up a

mountain when sledding or hav-

ing a snowball fight with the kids,

is a great way to exercise out-

doors in the winter.

There is no need to pack

away exercise clothing for the

winter season. With the right

equipment and know-how, winter

lovers can still spend adequate

time outdoors once the mercury

drops.

When sensitive oak, elm, fruit and nut trees are trimmedin the summer, it leaves them susceptible to disease.Thats why the cold winter months are a good time

to care for those sensitive trees.

Winter is a great time to trim trees

Because trees are dormant in the winter,this prevents the potential of disease after trimming.

Out & About

More than 90 essays from stu-

dents at the Maple Lake Elemen-

tary and St. Timothys School

entered the Patriots Pen essay

contest this year to answer

What patriotism means to me.

Pencil Pride is featuring the two

winning essays from Jennifer

DesMarais-Hollands sixth-

grade language arts class at

Maple Lake Elementary.

Bellah Schuette Patriotism

means being loyal to ones coun-

try. It means having devoted love

for our soldiers and for what they

do to keep America a free coun-

try. They are the ones willing to

die to keep America free. As

George S. Patton once said,

The soldier is the Army. No

army is better than its soldiers.

The soldier is also a citizen. In

fact the highest obligation and

privilege of citizenship is bearingarms for ones country. Patriot-

ism is not what your country can

do for you; its what you can do

for your country.

Veterans are willing to die for

us to have freedom. Imagine

what life would be like if we did-

nt have an army, we maybe

would be ruled by another coun-

try with different laws and be-

liefs. These soldiers put their

lives on the line for America.

Soldiers think its worth fighting

for America. If a family member

has died while serving, that fam-

ily member is extravagant.

Jimmy Stewart once said It

may sound corny, but what is

wrong with wanting to fight foryour country? Why are people

reluctant to use the word patriot-

ism?

My Grandpa was in the army,

his name is Elmer Fred Schuette.

He was drafted in April of 1954

and served in the army until

March of 1956. He was at Pep-

perrell Air Force Base St. Johns,

Newfoundland. While he was

there his work was maintaining

and fixing the roads.

Soldiers are strong hearted

people. Learning about what

they do for our country makes

me want to do the same. When I

watch videos of the soldiers

coming home it makes me feel

happy. Veterans arent just peo-ple they are heroes. God Bless

our troops. Soldiers are one of a

kind. Thinking way back when

the first battle happened I feel

amazed at those people today.

They are true examples of Patri-

otism.

Logan Weninger Patriotism

means to be loyal and to love

your country. Its an honor to be

a patriot. When you hold your

hand on your heart withoutmessing around when someones

singing the National Anthem,

thats a true patriot.

Patriotism is significant to us

all. Ronald Reagan once said, If

we love our country, we also

love our Countrymen. In other

words, if we didnt have patriot-

ism our people would be mis-

chievous and we wouldnt be

free. When it s Veterans Day we

are asked to celebrate what they

did for our country. Thats patri-

otism.

To me patriotism means to be

loving and loyal by supporting

your country. Those are specific

examples that show me how tobe a patriot. Ronald Reagan said,

If we ever forget that we are one

Nation under God then we will

be a nation gone under. More

examples that show patriotism

are treating each other with re-

spect, understanding and follow-

ing laws, and respecting and

putting up an abundance of

American flags. When its Veter-

ans Day you can show how

much you respect your country

by putting a flag up outside your

house.

During an interview with my

Grandpa Frank I learned he was

in the Navy from 1961-1965. He

was an engineman second class.

He was on the USS Hornet cvs-12 ship. He worked on diesel en-

gine generators that produced

electricity on the ship. If the ship

lost electrical power, the genera-

tors would come on. His job was

important because the ships

needed electricity. He explained

there were 1,000 kilowatts per

generator in the front and back of

the ship. My Grandpa went on

two cruises while in the Navy

which included Hawaii, Japan,

China, and the Philippines. After

interviewing my Grandpa, I

quickly learned that he was a

man who showed patriotism. I

didnt know exactly what he did

as a member of the Navy then,

but I do now.Patriotism to me means going

above and beyond what is ex-

pected of a person for their coun-

try. Lets all show patriotism by

honoring our county each and

every day.

Irish volleyball season ends at state tournament

by Jesse Wohlrabe

Sports Writer

The Maple Lake Irish volley-

ball team has played hard all sea-

son to achieve their goal ofreturning to the state tournament.

This goal was reached when the

Irish defeated Park Center to win

the title of 5AA Section Champi-

ons. They advanced to state and

played at the Xcel Center Nov. 7

and 8.

Once a team is in the tourna-

ment they play at least two games

because it is double elimination.

Maple Lake played its first game

against the Kasson-Mantorville

Komets. To start game one, the

Komets had an early led. They

were strong at the net, with hard

hits and consistent blocks. The

Irish had many great digs but some

put Maple Lake out of formation

forcing them to pass the ball over

the net. Kasson-Mantorville took

advantage of the Irish being out of

formation and played the ball back

quickly and aggressively, scoring

enough points to win 25-20.In game two, Maple Lake had

to find different ways to score be-

cause their hits were getting

blocked. The effort was always

present but, because the Irish

weren't hitting as often, they were

not as aggressive as they could

have been. Maple Lake also lost

game two 25-17.

The Irish came out strong in

game three. Their serves were con-

sistent and strong and the Komets

were slowed down and weakened

because they weren't as strong of

passers. This was an advantage to

the Irish and helped them stay

ahead for most of the game.

Within game three there were long

rallies where both teams made

some great plays. In the end, the

Komets had won more of those

long rallies and won the game 25-

21.

'We played tough and played

with heart. We gave it our best and

played as a team," junior Emily

Webb said after they had lost their

first match.

The next day, the Irish played

the Dassel-Cokato Chargers. Pre-viously in the season, the Irish had

lost to Dassel-Cokato in three

games.

"We had lost to them earlier in

the season but, as a team, we have

improved since then and the game

was much closer than the previous

one," said eighth grader Linsey

Rachel.

In game one, both teams came

out aggressively. The Irish knew

the Chargers were strong hitters

and they were prepared for it. The

Irish were quick on the net and

blocked very well. However, Das-

sel-Cokato won more battles at the

net and won 25-17.

Maple Lake battled hard almost

taking game two, but came up just

short, losing 27-25. The Irish

served strong as always and con-

tinued to block at the net. The

Chargers had a strong defense on

the Irish hits that stopped them

from scoring the last few points

needed to win.

In game three, Dassel-Cokato

noticed they were getting beat at

the net by the Irish, so they made

some changes. They mixed up a

lot of their sets, which made it dif-

ficult for Maple Lake to block as

well. When Maple Lake couldn't

block, it made it difficult to control

other aspects of the game. The

Irish played tough but lost 25-15.

Maple Lake lost both matches

but fought hard in each, playing

with heart and putting all their ef-

fort into every game. Maple Lake

finished their season strong andhad a winning season.

"It was fun to be able to expe-

rience going to state three years in

a row and to be able to end my

senior year at Xcel," senior Kelsie

Kelm said.

This weeks MapleLake Irish activities

Those adjustments started to

pay off early in the second half.

Pine Island kicked off to

Maple Lake, who marched down

the field and concluded the drive

with an 11-yard pitch run by

Strub.

"On the ensuing kickoff, he

(the Pine Island returner) stum-

bled and touched his knee down

on the one-yard line," Knudsen

said. "They got into trouble and

had to punt, which gave us a

short field."

The green and black capital-

ized on the field position when

Nic Paumen pounded in a one-

yard run for a 21-10 lead.

In the third quarter, Pine Is-

land ran six plays, compared to

28 for the Irish.

Some of those plays began a

lengthy drive that ended early in

the fourth quarter with a two-yardtouchdown run by Cal Redemske

for the final score of 28-10.

"We were very happy with the

way we played and tackled,"

Knudsen said. "They were a good

passing team and we held their

No. 1 receiver to no catches,

which was good."

Overall, the Irish held Pine Is-

land to 110 receiving yards on 5-

23 passing and 119 rushing yardson 27 attempts. Meanwhile, they

put up 318 rushing yards and four

touchdowns on 49 attempts.
