County board
pleased with I-94
expansion news
by John Holler
Correspondent
For years, Wright County
officials have butted heads
with the Metropolitan Council
over trying to get their hands
on state funding money for
the expansion of the I-94 cor-
ridor between Rogers and
Monticello, where commuter
traffic gets bottled up on a
daily basis.
At the Nov. 19 meeting of
the Wright County Board, the
commissioners heard from
State Rep. David FitzSim-
mons, who came before the
board to announce the
timetable for I-94 expansion
between Rogers and St.
Michael and thank the county
commissioners, in particular
Commissioner Mike Potter,
for their work on accomplish-
ing what many had viewed as
a long shot at best.
It came as very welcome
news to Wright County,
FitzSimmons said. Id like to
thank the county board for its
support, especially Commis-
sioner Potter, who was very
present at most of the meet-
ings and the deliberations. Its
a good day for Wright County
and the commerce corridor
between the Twin Cities and
St. Cloud.

Dirt is being moved next to
H&H Sport Shop on Highway
55 in preparation for construc-
tion of a new veterinary clinic.
Dr. Carl Larson said the im-
pending winter weather nearly
delayed the groundbreaking, but
everyone rose to the occasion,
as evidenced by the new parking
lot west of H&H Sport Shop, and
the new Maple Lake Veterinary
Clinic is on schedule to open be-
fore the busy spring season.
Larson, along with Dr. Dan
Patton and Dr. Dean Hawkinson,
currently operate the Watkins
and Kimball Veterinary Clinics.
Our interest in opening a
new clinic in Maple Lake goes
back a few years, but was post-
poned due to merging with Kim-
ball, since Dr. Jerry at that clinic
wanted to slow down a bit de-
spite the practice getting busier,
and wanted some help, Larson
said. Now three years into our
multiple-location practice, we
are again ready to pursue build-
ing a clinic in Maple Lake.
Larson said he drives through
Maple Lake regularly for large
animal appointments. While
doing so, he noticed a VETERI-
NARIAN sign on the north
edge of town and decided to ap-
proach Dr. Lieske regarding his
future plans.
We had a great conversation,
especially since I was wondering
if I was going to get punched in
the face for asking the vet in
town what he thought of more
vets in town, Larson said.

Residents attending a recent
public hearing appear to have in-
fluenced plans for upcoming in-
frastructure upgrades, and may
have rescued a couple of big
trees in the process.
About a half-dozen interested
citizens attended the 2014 Street
Improvement Project hearing
Tuesday, Nov. 19, and City En-
gineer Phil Gravel walked them
through the projects main com-
ponents.
The project area includes
Linden and Park Avenues as
well as areas of Division Street.
Proposed work includes street
improvements, water main re-
placement and sewer repairs.
Work on Division also includes
replacement of the water main
and a failed sanitary sewer, as
well as minor curb and sidewalk
repairs in anticipation of a 2015
county paving project.
While only about half of Lin-
dens sidewalk will require re-
placement, the Park Avenue
sidewalk must be replaced en-
tirely, Gravel said, and on the
streets west side, that replace-
ment would dictate the removal
of two stately maples about
halfway down the block.

City council
County board gives
Corinna Township
lakeshore authority
by John Holler
Correspondent
Former Wright County Com-
missioner Ken Jude was some-
one who stood tall on principle.
During his term as commis-
sioner, there were plenty of 4-1
county board votes. Gamblers
could safely wager that, if there
was a 4-1 vote, Jude was just as
likely to be the one on the back
of the four-to-one vote.
Following his time on the
county board, Jude was elected
to the Corinna Township Board.
When the township butted heads
with the county back in 2005
about land-use issues, Jude pro-
posed that the township had
every legal right to do its own
planning and zoning.
It wasnt unique. Woodland
and Stockholm townships both
had planning and zoning author-
ity. But those townships are al-
most devoid of lakes. Corinna
Township is comprised almost
by nearly as many water acres
as land acres. Therein lay the
problem.
In 2006, Corinna Township
officials and residents brought
the issue of being allowed to do
their own planning and zoning
to the county board.
Seven years later, effectively
all the township had accom-
plished was to get the county to
allow it to do the standard plan-
ning and zoning operations
permits for buildings, septic
systems and the like. When it
came to shoreland management,
the county dismissed their ef-
forts.
By state law, counties are au-
thorized to handle planning and
zoning issues. In order for a
township to take on its own
P&Z authority, it has to demon-
strate that it can provide the ex-
pertise to be trusted with
maintaining established land-
use standards. When it comes to
shoreland management and the
potential aquatic catastrophes
that can take place, Wright
County was hesitant to give up
that authority. Extremely hesi-
tant.

A year ago, Alia Mortensen was beginning as
the therapeutic horsemanship director at Camp
Courage. Since then, she has seen the power of the
program, now known as True Strides, which is a
part of True Friends programming.
I saw riders face the fears of thinking, This is
a really large animal and Im scared to get on it,
Mortensen said. But through the incredible team-
work of myself and volunteers, they faced fears,
had a lot of courage, got on horses and learned so
much and became good friends with horses.
She saw gains in confidence and communica-
tion, even among nonverbal participants. Physical
benefits were also apparent.
One of the most amazing moments was with
a little girl who had extremely tight legs due to
cerebral palsy, Mortensen recalled. Within 10
minutes, her legs went from hanging up on the
horses neck to relaxing to a natural riding posi-
tion. The relief, joy and comments that she had
never felt her legs relax were really, really remark-
able.
Just one week at a time, results came to fruition.
Now, True Strides staff and volunteers are won-
dering what could be achieved in six to eight
weeks.
Soon, they wont have to wonder. On Thursday,
Nov. 21, they broke ground on an indoor arena,
which will allow such sessions to take place year-
round.
And it allows us to impact that many more
lives, allows our horses to stay in a consistently
conditioned mode and it keeps the community and
connection with riders, volunteers, horses and staff
consistent, Mortensen said.
In the extended sessions, riders will grow their
confidence, their verbal and communication skills
and will help them physically with the horses
movement, according to Mortensen.
She will work with caregivers and physicians
to customize therapeutic horsemanship sessions to
each individuals needs.
Each rider has unique needs and each will be
personally met within a session, Mortensen said.
Each lesson will be assessed through documen-
tation to ask, Did they meet the goals of the les-
son? That will help me set up the next session.
Sessions will be conducted in groups to add to
the social aspects of the program.

A Catholic priest with Maple
Lake ties has resigned, follow-
ing allegations of sexual mis-
conduct.
"Fr. Mark Huberty was crim-
inally charged today (Tuesday,
Nov. 19) in Ramsey County
District Court regarding accusa-
tions made against him by a
woman who has alleged inap-
propriate sexual contact," ac-
cording to a statement from the
Archdiocese of St. Paul and
Minneapolis.
In the statement, the archdio-
cese said it "first learned of this
situation from another priest in
late August and we immediately
began an investigation. The
archdiocese fully cooperated
with all civil authorities in con-
ducting their investigation."
Huberty, 43, was placed on
leave from active ministry ex-
actly two months before being
charged with fourth-degree
criminal sexual conduct. He had
been serving as the pastor of the
Church of the Presentation of
the Blessed Virgin Mary in
Maplewood since July 2007.
Previously, he had served St.
Timothy's Catholic Church in
Maple Lake from 2001 to 2007.
Huberty started at Presenta-
tion in July 2007. According to
the Minneapolis Star Tribune, in
2008, he began meeting with a
woman who said she was strug-
gling with her faith after the
death of a family member. In
January, the two allegedly
began a relationship that in-
cluded fondling and other sex-
ual contact.
According to charges, the
woman became upset when Hu-
berty canceled a vacation to
Kansas City with her. When she
asked Huberty how she could
stay in the church knowing
what they did together, he al-
legedly told her there was no
need to tell her husband the de-
tails of their relationship. The
charges further allege that Hu-
berty said he had given the same
advice to other female friends
who continued to be active in
the church.
In May, the woman filed a re-
port with Maplewood police.
Huberty was charged by
summons and is scheduled to
make his first court appearance
Dec. 18.

After doing a little research on whether to hunt South or North
Dakota, our group of three (Mike Muller, Daryl Hennen and my-
self) figured North Dakota might be the better option this year. So
we headed out that way a week ago Saturday for the oil patch
country and arrived in White Earth the following morning after
driving through the night. We stayed with Mikes son, Kenneth,
who is an electrical contractor, and Jody Paumen an electrician. It
was cozy, five people and three dogs in his mobile home, but great
accommodations for the five days we were out there. As electri-
cians, both of our hosts have done enough rural work to become
acquainted with local farmers and where there might be pheasants
which was a big asset for us. Our hunts usually include a contest
and this year wasnt any different. $1.00 on the first bird each day
and a $1.00 each on the longest tails and biggest spur for the trip.
Four of us hunted Sunday after a light snowfall, choosing tree lines
and grass and by 2:28 p.m. we had our 12 birds. Daryl had the first
bird (which I found, but he didnt share any money with me) and
Ken the longest tail. None of the spurs were large enough to save.
My English Setter, Vana, saved the day for Ken when she found a
dead pheasant for him in a tree line after all of us went back to
look for it. The weather warmed up enough that day to thaw and
reminded us how slick and sticky the rural roads can get. The
truck traffic to the oil pumping pads and drilling derricks con-
tributes to the road dilemma which Kenneth said really gets black
when it rains. On Monday we hunted on our own and we didnt
do as well without our guide. Daryl had the first bird and shot his
limit. I had one that day which was sunny with very little wind.
Vana made my day when she chased down Daryls cripple and re-
trieved the cock, bringing it back to me. This was her first long
retrieve and I was impressed as was Hennen. She also found the
bird I shot and it was still alive. It had tried to bury itself in the
grass. On Tuesday all five of us hunted some private ground near
New Town where Jody won first-bird honors. Ken had a double
and we ended up with 12 birds. I had opportunities to shoot a limit
each day, getting some great points, but didnt come through.
Mikes dog, Lucky, and Vana found birds as well, but Id say
Daryls 13-year-old Cocoa, a Brittany-Springer cross, is still the
best. On Wednesday all five of us took a two-plus hour road trip
to a farm near Fortuna, a stones throw from the Canadian and
Montana borders on a cold (5-10 degrees) and extremely windy
day. Ken had the first bird and Daryl shot a cock which Vana found
in a grass-filled gully. Cocoa was back in the cars kennel sitting
out the brutal weather on that one. The trip ended with Mike win-
ning the spur contest and Daryl the rooster tail. We didnt find
birds everywhere, but hunting with Ken and Jody helped to put us
on birds in that vast land of oil rigs, wheat and cattle range country.
. . Hunting on the oil patch for the most part added another
dimension to the North Dakota hunt and gave the three of us a
first-hand glimpse of whats happening out there. There are still
jobs to be had out there, but I didnt apply when the sign said,
Good Help Wanted. Kens illustration of a motel that started at
about $165 a night for a single gave us an example of the astro-
nomical prices that are common to boom country. He felt the area
is being overbuilt, noting some of the projects have gone great,
but others havent had sufficient funding to be completed. I was
amazed at the gas (methane, I think) that is being burned off at the
pumping sites. The active pumping sites had at least one burning
flare and some several. Some of the sites had multiple pumps (two
to four) side by side, which was impressive, to say the least. There
seemed to be derricks drilling for oil in a helter-skelter fashion
and there were roads being built to the various pads being put in
place for future drilling. Bringing in electrical power to the pumps
is another necessity in the boom and many of the pumping sites
are connected by underground pipes which go to a collection point.
We noticed an above-ground water line and Ken said it provides
some of the water needed (about a million gallons each) for
drilling one well. It comes from the Missouri River (Lake Sakak-
wea). He said core samples are taken every foot and they drill on
an average of 2,000 feet. It was a long ride, both coming and
going, 21 degrees below when we left on Thursday morning and
it kept getting warmer the closer we got to Maple Lake. Its good
to be back and thanks to Ed Pawlenty for providing our readers
with a great story on their deer hunting episodes.

Thanksgiving is almost here
and you know what that means:
most people are already getting

Somehow, this time of year al-
ways sneaks up on me. Preparing

seemed to accelerate that process.
Its hard to believe its already
been more than a month since we
said, I do.
In that month, I started grow-
ing my Movember moustache.
Truth be told, its driving us both
crazy, so were looking forward to
Dec. 1, when Ill be a baby face
again.
Speaking of December, the

Were asking readers to send in

forward to seeing the submissions.
And I hope everyone has a

A "thank you" to the Wright
County Commissioners is in
order for their approving the
drafting of a resolution (which,
in turn, needs another Board vote
to be enacted) that allows
Corinna Township to assume full
authority for shoreland planning
and zoning in the township.
Corinna Township has clearly
met all state requirements, has
the backing of township citizens,
and has handled their current
planning and zoning responsibil-
ities with integrity, fairness, and
professionalism.
I am confident that they will
carry out the additional shore-
land planning and zoning re-
sponsibilities in a likewise
manner.

To the Editor:
Last Sunday, while sitting in
the pew at church, I looked
around and couldnt help but no-
tice that all those wonderful eld-
ers with their white hair were
now the parents of my genera-
tion, many of them still sitting in
the same area they sat in when I
was young. I knew them by
name. They knew me by name.
They did not fail to greet me and
ask about my children in Zambia.
They are filled with pride by the
work I do and the idea that one
of their own is doing such work.
As I sat thinking, it struck me
that this is community. Some go
out always taking a part of
them with you and some stay
home, taking their spot in the
pew as they mature.
I asked myself how can I get
that for my children in Zambia?
I want them to know they are a
part of their community and their
community is a part of them.
Who will be the white hairs in
their life? Who will watch them
wade through life with love?
Who will stand firm in support of
them, sharing their pride in just
knowing them and who will re-
main steadfast as models of
servitude, faithfulness and in-
tegrity?
I am so blessed to have been
raised in Maple Lake and to con-
tinue to be part of this commu-
nity. Here, there are marriages
that were forged in turbulent
times of youth and are still strong
thirty-five years later. Here there
are elders in their eighties and
nineties that still remember their
childrens childhood friends.
Here there are neighbors that
know you by name and help out
when a need arises. Here there
are generations of people that
love you. Here, there are friends
from your youth that are friends
for life. And finally, here there
are pillars those wonderful,
beautiful, white-haired folks in
the pews at church. They know
you. They love you and they
want the best for you just because
you are part of their community.
I say to all the white hairs
here in Maple Lake Thank you.
You are part of me wherever I go,
whatever I do.

Question: Im wondering: Is
the use of blinkers a state law or
only an optional courtesy sug-
gestion? It seems to me that, as
the use of cell phones has in-
creased, the use of blinkers has
decreased. Also, if it is a law
in changing lanes or making a
turn, at what point should the
blinker be put on (how far ahead
of the turn)? Thank you!
Answer: The use of a turn
signal is a state law. I would
agree with you that as the rate of
cell phone use while driving
along with many other distrac-
tions have increased, the use of
turn signals has decreased. Ive
been in law enforcement a little
more than 16 years (15 of them
with the Minnesota State Patrol)
and Ive seen the use of cell
phones become more popular
and evolve with their use to in-
clude texting and internet usage.
We have a law in Minnesota
that makes it illegal for drivers
to read/compose/send text mes-
sages and emails, or access the
Internet using a wireless device
while the vehicle is in motion or
a part of traffic including
stopped in traffic or at a traffic
light.

Dear Editor,
As the coordinator of the annual
Maple Lake Veterans Day program
for over 13 years, Ive found it a
great honor. Its a pleasure working
with the staff and students at the
Maple Lake schools where good
behavior is shown, and student par-
ticipation given. Indeed with the
teachers and staff involving their
students in assignments and enter-
tainment, District #881 proves de-
serving of the School of
Excellence award that will be pre-
sented to them on December 10th.
Its always a privilege having
the local Veterans, in uniform at the
Program, to go beyond being hon-
ored, but also perform the flag
presentation, be guest speakers,
and end the program with the Rifle
Salute every year. Their presence
gives the students an extra appreci-
ation for their continued service
and past sacrifices. We are grateful
to have them on hand as students
pay tribute to them through music,
narrations, personally composed
DVD presentations, and other extra
highlights.
As for our town folks, what a
generous populace we have!
Where there is zeal to donate and
full of hard working volunteers
stepping forward to assist with the
program. There wasnt a business I
visited that didnt portray eagerness
to contribute to this public affair.
The Maple Lake Messenger,
KRWC, and the Annandale Advo-
cate were extraordinary in convey-
ing information and inviting the
public to our town for this impor-
tant event.
I also applaud the Maple Lake
Lions for sponsoring the Veterans
Day program each year, the Ladies
Auxiliary for co-sponsoring the Pa-
triots Pen contest, and the WAT-
KIM-VALLEY Vietnam Veterans
for being our guest speakers. We
look forward to having them back
for the requested classroom visits
that are already on tap in Decem-
ber.
God Bless you, Maple Lake,
God Bless America!

NOV. 25 REPORT OF THE
WRIGHT COUNTY SHERIFF
by Gabe Licht
Editor
After 15 years of working in
retail, Anna Pribyl decided to
make a career change.
I figured it was time for a
new challenge, said Pribyl, who
has been an agent at Lake Cen-
tral Insurance Services in Maple
Lake since April.
Pribyl was acquainted with
the agency through her friend-
ship with now fellow agent
Krista Wurm and prior work ex-
perience with agency manager
Paul Manuel.
She has enjoyed working with
them and the community at
large.
I enjoy helping people,
Pribyl said. When I get the op-
portunity to quote and can offer
something better, I enjoy that.
Its been a fun challenge.
Part of that challenge has
been learning about health insur-
ance, especially in the midst of
the MnSure rollout following
health care reform.
With health insurance issues,
I got to dive head first into it,
Pribyl said.
While she felt she had a grasp
on home and auto insurance
from her own personal experi-
ences, learning about health in-
surance has taken longer due to
the sweeping changes in man-
dated coverages.
With health insurance
through the MNSure exchange ,
were constantly calling for an-
swers on how it works or why it
doesn't work for some people,
Pribyl said.
She is a licensed agent for
auto, home, life and health insur-
ance, as well as commercial in-
surance.
As the mother of three daugh-
ters Kelsey, 11; JuliAnna, 8;
and Danica, 7 Pribyl is happy
to be working closer to their
schools and having an opportu-
nity to be more involved in the
community.
Its nice to be close by if they
have things going on, Pribyl
said. Im definitely looking
forward to being more involved
in the community.

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!

According to Maple Lake
kindergarten students
Get a turkey and then I think
fry it. And then I think its really
good and they put some sprinkles
on it. And then I think they pour
some orange juice on there and
then they put it in the oven. And
they cut it up and then they serve
some plates and then they eat it.
Avery Kolehmainen
Take off the skin. Take off the
feather. Heat it up in the kitchen
in the pot. Put it on 50 for 15 min-
utes. Put it on the table with plate.
I usually put carrots in their be-
hind and an apple in their mouth.
They do that to pigs too, toma-
toes. They put a leg on my plate.
I had the leg and I had the apple.
Aurora Zuelke
My turkey is invisible so it
wouldnt be mine. Put it in the
oven 5 minutes. We wait until it
cools and then we cut it. I just put
ranch on it. I like corn and apple
pie. Ryne Lodermeier
Put it in the pot. Put it in the
oven for 10. Then you cut it. Put
powder on it. Get all the food like
watermelon and broccoli. It just
tastes good.
Dalten Kuperus
You first bake it in the oven for
seven minutes. We have to share
it. And you need some milk. We
have to eat it.
Emma Moline
Get it hot in the pan, put it in
the oven because thats how you
cook it. You wait for it to cool off.
You put some like salt and pepper
on it. You just set it on dads plate
and just pick it up and eat it.
Brayden Fobbe
You cut it, put it in the oven on
ten, take it out, put seasoning on
it. Tear it apart. I like to put salt
and pepper on it.
Mackenzie Ruud
He gets the pan out, her puts it
on a number and turns it on. They
cut it really slow because of fin-
gers. I dont eat it. Just bacon.
Anything that tastes like chicken
I wont eat it. Just breakfast pizza
or bacon. Thats it. Carter
Haflich
You take the feathers off of it.
You cook it in the oven. We wait
until its done and its a meat. You
eat it. I eat it with ketchup.
Gavin Manthie
You put the turkey in the
freezer, put it in the drawer. That
gets it hot. Make some turkey and
put some other stuff. Its for
everyone like Gramma, Papa,
Auntie Sam and Liam. Eat it after
you put it on a big plate and go to
the hotel to swim.
Paxton Fobbe
You put it in the oven. Set it on
a pan. You put things on it like
peppers. Its five minutes. We get
some on our plate and eat a lot of
it with a fork.
Natasha Lodermeier
I dont know, kill it. I just dont
know. My dad cooks it. Take off
the feathers, put under it a plate.
You eat it. Levi Deyo
Um, first you just put it in the

cheese pizza so I would like that
on top. You eat it.

and then you eat it.

Grab that turkey and you put it
in a pan. Hes dead so no feathers.
Put it in the oven, cook it. It will
die in the oven. You take it out.
You eat it all and thats good.

til it gets cold and alive. Ethan
Pavlenko
You grab a pan. You put your
hand on the handle and shake it a
little bit. You put it in the oven 55

you might have to chew on the
hard turkey skin a little bit.
Lydia George
He would catch it. He takes all
the stuff off like the designs. You
put it in the oven. Turn it on
medium, take it off. Cool it off so
you just cut it. Then she puts it on
everybodys plate. Just mashed
potatoes, peas and stuffing on
mine and Calebs. And gravy is
my favorite food for Thanksgiv-
ing.
Brianna Beneke
Get the turkey, cook the
turkey. Take it out of the oven, eat
it. Delaney Haglin
Take it off its skin because you
dont eat the feather. First you
start it and you put the big turkey
in and then it will get roasted.
Take out the bones. You could put
lettuce or tomatoes on it. And you
could also put on it like before
you can also eat it with ketchup.

Elementary!
A youth editorial pertaining
to this years Maple Lake Veter-
ans Day program and a letter
to veterans by two students
from Ben Youngs 11th-grade
English class.
Emily Rose I really enjoyed
the Veterans Day program this
year.
The video at the beginning
gave me chills as it showed pic-
tures of people who have gone
and served our country from
Maple Lake and neighboring
towns. It hit home and helped
make me realize that people
just like me fight for our coun-
try.
It was also good how the
soldiers told their personal sto-
ries. I always wonder what in-
dividual experiences were and
what they have to say about
them. The things that they
talked about would be hard to
go through.
These veterans and others
risk their lives every day for us
so we can live a safer life.
One of the speakers said that
the war of today is much differ-
ent than what they went
through in Vietnam. The Veter-
ans on the panel compared it to
things that we can relate to.
One example was Skype. It
was said that back then commu-
nicating with people back home
was a lot harder because they
only had mail service. Another
example was the smart phones
we use today.
This Veteranss Day pro-
gram was meaningful and made
me realize that veterans should
not only be honored on Veter-
ans Day for the things they do,
but every day.
Jennifer Pomije Dear Vet-
erans of the United States of
America, I would like to thank
each and every one of you for
all you have done and continue
to do for our country. I want to
thank you for being brave and
serving in the military so others
dont have to. Thank you for
protecting this wonderful coun-
try and all of its freedoms.
Without you, our country
would not be what it is today.
Later in life when I am a
mother if my son or daughter
were to enroll in the military I
would be very proud, just as
Im sure your parents were.
They may have been worried
about you at some points, but
overall they knew that their
child was doing a good deed by
protecting our country.
I try to imagine the chal-
lenge it must have been while
on duty and how much you
missed your loved ones. I can
guarantee they were extremely
honored to have you fighting
for our country and helping to
make such a positive impact on
the rest of the world.
Thank you for being men-
tally tough and surviving the
seemingly endless days of
dreadful battle. I cannot fathom
the idea of what veterans went
through on a daily basis. It
takes men and with with ex-
treme courage, dedication, and
pure love for ones country in
order to risk their own lives
from day to day in a seemingly
endless battle.
I have always wondered
how it is possible to get rid of
the nightmares, evil happen-
ings, and life changing images
that must have run through your
minds after returning from war.
I am glad there are great coun-
selors and people who know
how to help you suppress those
thoughts in healthy ways other
drinking and smoking.
There arent enough words
to express my thanks to Veter-
ans for everything theyve
done. It takes very brave souls
to leave the safety of ones
home and fight in battle.
Its touching to think about
all the sacrifices that Veterans
have made for our country. Vet-
erans, Thank you for risking
your lives and being fearless
while protecting and serving
our people.
I admire each and every one
of you, and hope you keep on
living life to its fullest as you
cherish every moment and
spend it with your family and
friends knowing by what you
saw in war time that any mo-
ment could very well be our
last.
Sincerely, Jennifer Pomije

Jessie Wohlrabe
Sports Writer
From the first day of practice
on Aug. 11, to the state tourna-
ment, the Irish volleyball team has
worked hard to accomplish many
goals. Throughout the season they
were awarded with the title of
Central Minnesota Conference
champions, along with the 5AA
subsection and section champions.
Maple Lake had a winning record
of 24-10, which put them at a tie
for second most wins in school
history.
"As a team we had awesome
chemistry and really played well
together, senior Kelsie Kelm
said. We made many unforget-
table memories and had a great
season.
The team had a banquet Sun-
day, Nov. 24. Coaches presented
awards to the players and the team
celebrated the accomplishments of
the season. The Maple Lake Vol-
leyball Program presented awards
to the players, including: 2013
Most Improved Player to senior
Kelsie Kelm, 2013 "Go!" Award
to freshman Morgan Scheiber, and
the 2013 Player of the Year to
eighth grader Linsey Rachel.
Along with the Maple Lake
High School, the Central Min-
nesota Conference gives out
awards to players they feel have
deserved them due to their hard
work in the season. The Irish were
undefeated in the conference and
won the title of champions with
their 7-0 record.
"My favorite game this season
was when we beat B-B-E because
it was a great accomplishment for
the team," junior Emily Webb
said.
Continuing the CMC awards,
the First Team All Conference in-
cluded junior Jenni Pomije, Webb,
and Rachel. Senior Anna Treptau,
junior Jillian Goelz and freshman
Morgan Scheiber made the Sec-
ond Team All Conference.
Players in grades nine through
12 who sustain a 3.70 GPA are
recognized as part of the CMC All
Academic Team. This season jun-
ior Chloe Callahan, Goelz,
Pomije, and junior Taylor Pilger
were all presented with this award.
Also the top 10 varsity players
sustained a 3.77 GPA which
helped the team be the 2013 All-
State "Gold" Academic Team.
Throughout the season, the
2013 team put their name in the
record books. As a team they had
1,789 digs, beating the 2012
record of 1,403. They also placed
second in total kills with 1,112,
and fourth in serving percentage
with 90.54 percent. Individually,
Pomije broke the record for most
set assists with 414, Webb tied
with the previous record for most
digs with 361, and Rachel broke
the record with 428 digs. Rachel
also holds the record for most kills
in a season with 358.
To make these achievements
happen, the team participated in
many volleyball camps in the
summer and put in extra time to
keep working hard in the offsea-
son. These players are recognized
by earning points in a system
made by Coach Kiebel. This
years recipients were: Pomije,
Rachel, Scheiber, Maddy Neu,
Sadie Pingel, Pilger, Goelz, Calla-
han, Webb and Ellie Haney with
more than 400 points. Brooklyn
Toedter, Kelm, Amber Klug, Mi-
randa VanLith, Maya Ortiz, Bailey
Prowatzke, Kaleigh Beehler, and
Treptau had more than 300 points.
Also Olivia Marquette, Delaney
Sifferle, Jordyn Trager, Rachel
Lee, and Marissa Henrickson fin-
ished with more than 200 points.
To encourage working hard in
the off-season, Kiebel added
"Next season we will return a
strong core of players. The teams
in the conference and section will
know this from day one, so we
will need to put in another great
off-season to keep pace with the
teams that will be out to hunt us
down in 2014."
Not only did the players win
awards but Kiebel was awarded
2013 Coach of the Year by the
CMC. Coaching a team through
many wins Kiebel has earned this
title and is very proud of his team.
"The thing I was most proud of
the 2013 team for was their perse-
verance through adversity,
Kiebel said. Sometimes that ad-
versity came through line-up
changes that occurred for different
reasons; sometimes that adversity
came in the form of a tough oppo-
nent and our need to bounce back
from a loss and get ready for the
next match. In the end, I'm proud
to say that this group is the first to
win conference, subsection, and
section titles in the same year!
That is something special and they
will never forget it."
Overall the Irish had a winning
season and have made this year
one for the record books.

Councilmember Deb Geyen
asked if there might be any way
to preserve the trees, but Gravel
said the new curb would be set
several feet behind the trunks,
rendering them unsaveable.
One thing thats unique
there, he explained, is that
over time, the paved portion of
the road has slid over to the east
of the platted right-of-way.
The new road, he added,
would be shifted back to the
right-of-ways center.
Geyen asked how such a
shift could have occurred, and
Gravel said he believed the ini-
tial intention had been to have a
grass median between the curb
and sidewalk, where currently
there is none.
Thats an old road, he said.
I guess when it was gravel, it
just cut over that way, and when
it came time to pave it, nobody
checked property lines, and they
just paved it.
John Northenscold Jr., who
lives at 52 Linden Avenue, ex-
pressed dismay at the engi-
neers intent to take the trees
out, saying hed traveled re-
cently to view fall leaf colors,
finding nothing more scenic
than his home towns foliage.
When I look at Birch Av-
enue, it looks like an airport
runway, basically, with no trees,
all stripped, he said. Now
were going to take our most
beautiful park downtown and
youre going to take a couple of
big, beautiful maple trees out of
there. I think its a shame that
weve been able to use that
park, and people and parents
have been able to park for their
kids ball games all these years,
and now we put the street in and
theres not going to be any room
for those trees.
Geyen asked if a median be-
tween curb and sidewalk was
planned for the street and
Gravel said a three- or four-foot
grass strip was part of the engi-
neers design.
OK, maybe thats some-
thing we should consider, too,
Geyen suggested.
Gravel offered to come back
with some altered designs that
might preserve the roads east-
erly shift, allowing some lee-
way for the trees to remain, as
well.
That would have to be a
conscious decision that were
not going to be in the center of
the right-of-way, he noted.
Councilmember John
Northenscold Sr. said, I think
thats a good idea to get rid of
that boulevard section. Maybe
that would save those trees.
Gravel agreed to look further
into that option.
If we shifted that road fur-
ther to the east, he said, we
could pick up four feet. We
could also look at even provid-
ing a narrower street there.
Kissock thanked attending
citizens for prompting city lead-
ers and designers to re-examine
their approach to the construc-
tion process. The council is ex-
pected to approve engineering
plans at its Dec. 17 meeting,
with bids to be opened in Feb-
ruary, followed by a public as-
sessment hearing in March.
Award of construction contracts
is scheduled for April, with con-
struction slated to commence in
May. Substantial completion of
the project is expected by Au-
gust. Assessments will be certi-
fied in 2014, with payment
collection to begin with 2015
property taxes and spread out
over a 12- to 15-year period, at
an interest rate currently esti-
mated to be about 5 percent.
City Attorney Rhonda Pagel
pointed out that the citys spe-
cial assessment policy allows
deferments for disabled citi-
zens, those over the age of 65,
or in active military service.
In other business, the coun-
cil:
Heard from Northen-
scold Sr. that the Planning Com-
mission had re-examined a
revised Future Land Use map,
recommending that three sites
be removed from consideration
for potential industrial designa-
tion and another be changed to
residential, with consideration
to be given for some possible
high-acre, low-density lots. Two
areas were recommended to be
retained as potential industrial
park sites. Owners of affected
properties will be invited by
mail and the public will be wel-
come to comment on the pro-
posed changes at an open house
and informational meeting at 7
p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10. Based
on public input, further amend-
ments are likely, and a public
hearing will also be scheduled
before any rezoning takes place.
Councilmembers also approved
preliminary and final plats for
Johanneck Industrial Park, de-
scribed by Pagel as mainly a
housekeeping issue adjusting
lot boundaries to align with ex-
isting structures.
Approved contractor
payment for a number of engi-
neering projects, the first of
which was payment No. 4 of
$412,135.94 to SAK Construc-
tion for the 2012-2013 Inflow
and Infiltration (I&I) Improve-
ment Project. With excavation
repairs, sewer cleaning, televis-
ing and lining essentially com-
pleted, lateral sewer service
repair work is being finished
this month. Project update no-
tices have been distributed by
workers in specific areas and
are also posted on the citys
website. Final payment of
$1,450.94 to Mid-Minnesota
Hot Mix for 2012 airport paving
improvements was also ap-
proved, as was a final payment
of $33,389.71 to Knife River
CorporationNorth Central for
2013 airport parking lot paving.
Heard from Deputy
Clerk Lee Ann Yager that Stan-
dard & Poors has upgraded the
citys long-term and underlying
bond rating from A to AA- on
the citys existing general obli-
gation bonds. At the same time,
the citys AA+ enhanced long-
term rating on existing general
obligation debt has also been af-
firmed, with the outlook on all
ratings deemed as stable.
Certified delinquent
utilities payments to Wright
County for collection with other
taxes. Twelve properties were
listed, for a total bill of
$3,315.42.
Heard from Kissock
that, with the treatment plant
now fully operational, the
Wastewater Commission is con-
sidering reducing its meetings
from every other month to quar-
terly or biannual gatherings.
Councilmembers agreed that
quarterly meetings would be
sufficient.
Adopted a resolution
approving an I&I special as-
sessment agreement with Dar-
rell Jensen for $1,820.50 over a
two-year period at an interest
rate of 3 percent. The council
also granted an I&I waiver to
Paul Johnson at 314 Division
Street East, due to special cir-
cumstances regarding an indi-
vidual sewer line which goes
under a garage and adjoins with
a neighboring house. Issues
with that sewer line will be ad-
dressed with the 2014 Street
Improvement Project, and in the
meantime, Johnson will be
charged monthly for 1,000 gal-
lons additional sewer use.
Approved this winters
snowplowing schedule and the
purchase of a pressure washer

At the Nov. 19 county board
meeting, the battle Jude started
in 2005 finally came to fruition
as the commissioners, by a 3-2
vote, approved giving Corinna
Township full planning and zon-
ing authority.
Commissioner Mike Potter
said that, while he had some
reservations about giving the
township full authority, over the
last seven years the township
has cleared every hurdle put in
front of it and it was a deserved
designation.
Corinna Township has
taken all the steps necessary to
get the authority, Potter said.
Theyve passed all the criteria
needed, so my gut tells me they
should be allowed to do this.
Commissioner Mark Dalei-
den asked if the language of the
agreement between the county
and the township could be writ-
ten in such a way that potential
lawsuits could be avoided.
Is there a way the contract
could be written that, if some-
thing goes wrong or awry, that
(shoreland authority) can return
to the county? Daleiden asked.
Im just trying to figure a way
to appease the concerns that
have been raised by those who
oppose this..
Daleiden was informed that
such language would have to be
approved by the town board and
that wouldnt be guaranteed.
Commissioner Christine
Husom, who represents Corinna
Township on the county board,
countered that she has heard
more opposition from township
constituents than support for
township authority on shoreland
management.
The majority of the people
I have spoken with have been
opposed to this, Husom said.
Im in a bit of a quandary.
Commissioner Pat Sawatzke,
who served alongside Jude on
his full term on the county board
and has been a commissioner
since the question first came be-
fore the board, said that he has
moved more toward the town-
ships point of view, but, in the
end, the township doesnt meet
the standard set by state statute
to exceed the level of service the
county can provide in the land
use issues in Wright County.
Ive seen the polarizing ef-
fect this issue has had with com-
missioners from that district,
Sawatzke said. I believe the
township has done a pretty good
job of taking the needed steps to
take over this aspect of zoning.
Im not as adamantly opposed
as I was years ago. Im voting
against this because the county
has more staffing and resources.
I think the bar has been set very
high by the county. I dont think
the township has met that stan-
dard.
Commissioner Charlie Bor-
rell offered up a motion to ap-
prove Corinna Townships
autonomy in making its own
shoreland management deci-
sions, stating the township has
shown itself worthy of taking on
that responsibility.
I dont see the difference
between Corinna Township
doing this and Stockholm or
Middleville (townships), which
already have zoning authority,
Borrell said. I see this as a fair-
ness issue.
In the end, the board ap-
proved the motion 3-2, with
Potter and Daleiden both of
whom had their reservations
about this issue voting in the
majority and Sawatzke and
Husom voting against it.
Jude started this battle in
2005. He passed away in 2006,
but those who the torch was
passed to had a celebration Nov.
19. Although posthumous,
Judes efforts were not in vain.
He didnt live to see the end
game, but somewhere hes smil-
ing.
FitzSimmons explained that
more than 400 applications
were made to the Minnesota
Department of Transportation
for the $300 million in road
project funding. Only 10 of
those were accepted and $35-
45 million of that funding pool
was earmarked for the I-94 cor-
ridor project. The group fight-
ing for the project, which
ranged from those near Rogers
all the way to St. Cloud, helped
make the point that this was a
regional project and not simply
a project that would benefit
those between Rogers and St.
Michael.
It will not only be of a big
benefit to us now, but will
make it easier to expand other
segments of I-94 in the future,
FitzSimmons said. There was
a lot of bureaucratic red tape
that needed to be done and we
were extremely pleased be-
cause there was a lot of compe-
tition for those dollars.
Groundbreaking is expected
in July 2014 with completion
expected by the fall of 2015.
FitzSimmons said that he is
hopeful now that it is clear that
the state sees the merit in the
expansion project that it may
have a leg up when the next
round of road funding comes
through to continue the expan-
sion to three lanes in both di-
rections of I-94 from St.
Michael to Monticello.
Potter said that, while he
took over his county commis-
sioner position with the hope
of using that influence to get
the I-94 expansion done, he
was the first to admit that,
while proud of his role, he was
one component in a multi-
pronged group approach that
helped get the I-94 project ap-
proved.
It was truly a team effort,
Potter said. A lot of people
worked very hard on this and,
without such a wide net of sup-
port, we wouldnt have been
able to get this done. It was
definitely a group effort and
everyone came together at the
right time. It was a goal of
mine when I got on the county
board and I was cautiously op-
timistic that it would happen
because it met so many of the
criteria for awarding the proj-
ect. Id like to take credit for it,
but I cant because there were
so many people working tire-
lessly to get the project pushed
over the top.
In other business, the board:
Declined to take action on
a requested letter of support for
Geronimo Energy concerning
three township solar farms that
was requested earlier this
month by Geronimo represen-
tatives. The board had laid over
approving a letter of support in
order to get more information.
Having unresolved questions,
the board initially considered
tabling the matter, but, because
the application deadline was
Friday, Nov. 22, the matter was
dropped because it couldnt
meet the deadline if not ap-
proved at the Nov. 19 meeting,
which it clearly wasnt going
to be. With the matter dropped,
the issue will only come back
to the board meeting if Geron-
imo requests agenda time.
Tabled a contract with
Wright-Hennepin Co-op Elec-
tric to provide service and
maintenance for panic buttons
that will be placed in the court
services and county attorneys
offices in the event of an emer-
gency to get more information
about ongoing maintenance
costs.
Approved a 1 percent in-
crease in the salaries for
elected department heads
County Attorney Tom Kelly,
Sheriff Joe Hagerty and Audi-
tor/Treasurer Bob Hiivala.
Set interview times for
candidates for the human serv-
ices director position from 10

Still, each year in Minnesota,
distracted or inattentive driving
is a factor in one out of every
four crashes, resulting in at least
70 deaths and 350 serious in-
juries.
The Office of Traffic Safety
estimates these numbers are
vastly underreported due to law
enforcements challenge in de-
termining distraction as a crash
factor; therefore, it can be diffi-
cult for law enforcement to de-
termine if a person is doing this
while they are driving. However,
here is where Ive found myself
less tolerant. Drivers who do not
signal their lane changes or
turns, or who continually cross
over the centerline, are in viola-
tion. This becomes a true issue
of safety and I find myself issu-
ing more citations for these
types of offenses.
As for when should a person
signal their intent to turn or
change lanes, each situation is
slightly different. I would advise
good common sense to look at
the total picture of, location,
traffic volume, speeds and high-
way conditions. Minnesota law
states: A signal of intention to
turn right or left shall be given
continuously during not less
than the last 100 feet traveled by
the vehicle before turning.
This is what is listed and
taught in the Minnesota Drivers
Manual: When you wish to
change lanes or make a turn, sig-
nal with an approved signal de-
vice to inform other motorists of
your intention. Signals are to be
activated at least 100 feet before
you make the turn. Continue sig-
naling until you have completed
the turn or lane change. It is
often necessary to change lanes
in order to make a turn, merge
with other traffic, or to perform
other driving activities. Lane
changing can be dangerous and
must be done with caution.
Make sure you have safe clear-
ance to the side, behind, and
ahead of your vehicle, before
moving into another lane. Turn
your head in the direction of the
lane you are moving into and
check for vehicles. If you rely
only on mirrors, you may not see
vehicles in certain positions,
known as blind spots.
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.

I recently brought a biparti-
san group of legislators to Sues
restaurant for lunch on a tour of
small businesses in our area. I
also had the pleasure of having
Sue as my guest to Governor
Daytons State of the State Ad-
dress in early February. As the
governor was beginning to tout
his legislative agenda for the
year, I felt it was critically im-
portant to have a small business
owner by my side to get her per-
spective on how these policies
would affect her ability to hire
and pay employees.
If you havent had a chance
to visit Sues restaurant, be sure
to do so! Cornerstone Caf is lo-
cated at 154 W Broadway Street
in Monticello.
Also, I want to invite small
business owners from our com-
munity to testify before the
Small Business Caucus (which I
co-chair) about what state gov-
ernment can do to make doing
business in Minnesota easier and
more successful. Those hearings
will take place on December 12
and December 19 at noon in
Room 10 of the State Office
Building.
As always, you can contact

CORINNA TOWNSHIP
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Notice is hereby given that Corinna
Township Planning
Commission/Board of Adjustment
will convene Tuesday, December 10,
2013, at 7:00 PM at Corinna Town
Hall to conduct the following public
hearing(s):
Amendments to various sections
throughout the Corinna Township
Zoning Ordinance, including Sec-
tions 611 (Floodplain Overlay Dis-
trict), 612 (Shoreland Zoning
Regulations) and other sections
which are applicable in shoreland
and non-shoreland areas. Appli-
cant(s): Corinna Township. Purpose:
To adopt changes to shoreland-re-
lated ordinances which are consis-
tent with minimum requirements of
MN Rules 6120 and which remain at
least as restrictive as the Wright
County Zoning Ordinance. To adopt
changes which formalize past inter-
pretations of existing ordinance lan-
guage in both shoreland and
non-shoreland areas. To reformat the
existing Corinna Zoning Ordinance
so as to assemble into one docu-
ment (based on the format of the
Wright County Zoning Ordinance),
rather than referencing the county
zoning ordinance in an appendix.
All interested persons are invited
to attend these hearings and be
heard or send written comments to
the Township. Application information
and a staff report are available for
viewing at www.hometownplanning.
com (staff report typically 5-7 days
prior to the hearing date). A quorum
of the Town Board may be present at
the meeting, but will not hold deliber-
ations or make any decisions.

After all was said and done, he
indicated the location of his of-
fice was not zoned properly to
sell as a vet clinic, he preferred
to work alone and he would
continue to work as he does. He
welcomed the idea of a new
veterinary clinic, being some-
what surprised that there hadnt
been one built yet anyway.
Furthermore, Larson said
that Lieske offered to refer his
December appointments to the
Kimball and Watkins clinics
because he would be out of
town.
Larson said the new clinic
would be state-of-the-art and
the crown jewel of our three
clinics.
Questions about the new
clinic can be directed to the
Watkins Veterinary Clinic at
320-764-7400.
Caregivers, parents and
guardians will also be able to so-
cialize together in a lounge,
which will be included in the fa-
cility, along with a classroom
and meeting space.
True Strides expects to com-
plete the new facility in the
spring.
Mortensen is pleased with the
progress of True Strides and is
thankful for those who have
made it possible.
I cant believe how far the
horses and the program have
come, Mortensen said. Per-
sonally and professionally, this
is just a crazy whirlwind. It takes
such a team to create something
so incredible.
Thanks to Wright-Hennepin
Cooperative Electric Associa-
tions (WH) continuing strong
operational and financial per-
formance, almost all members
will receive a capital credit re-
fund on their energy bills this
holiday season.
WHs board of directors re-
cently declared a capital credit
return of $1.2 million to mem-
bers who purchased electricity
from the cooperative during
1988, 2011 or 2012.
Capital credit refunds in the
cooperative business model are
similar to dividends in investor
business models. Each mem-
bers share of the capital credit
refund is based on their energy
use during the years being re-
tired. However, before returning
these margins back to members,
WH uses this capital to offset
the cost of debt for the construc-
tion and maintenance of the
electric distribution system. This
working capital represents the
members ownership equity in
WH.
WH retires portions of an-
nual margins faster than many
electric co-ops in the nation be-
cause of a board-recommended
bylaw amendment passed by the
members in 1998. This amend-
ment has resulted in more mem-
bers being eligible for a refund
each year. Per cooperative by-
laws, WHs member-elected
board determines the amount of
margins retired each year based
on the cooperatives financial
condition and other considera-
tions.
Capital credits are the cor-
nerstone of the cooperative way
of doing business, said WH
Board Chair Chris Lantto. The
board of directors is again
pleased to return margins to
members despite so many chal-
lenges in the economy at this
time.
Since refunds were first made
in 1957, $32 million has been
returned to members via capital
credit refunds. This is the 33rd
consecutive year that the board
has made capital credit refunds
to WHs members. In the 56
years that WH has been eligible
to return capital credits, the co-
operative has provided refunds
to members in 55 of those years.

WH is a member-owned non-
profit electric utility that pro-
vides electric power to Wright
County and the western part of
Hennepin County. The coopera-
tive has been a corporate citizen
in this area since 1937 and cur-
rently serves more than 46,000
electric accounts. The utility
started its security division in
1989 that provides local home
security solutions as well as
monitors alarm systems for al-
most 60,000 customers in 32
states and three Canadian
provinces.
