Wright County
Sheriffs Office
issues 224 speeding
tickets in July
With July came a statewide
focus on speeders and individu-
als not wearing their seatbelts.
The Wright County Sheriffs
Office issued 224 speeding tick-
ets during the 18-day stretch, the
second most speeding tickets of
any county outside the metro
area, with only Olmsted County
issuing 20 more.
Enhanced speed enforcement
coupled with educational pro-
gramming was the focus of the
Minnesota Department of Public
Safety Office of Traffic Safetys
July speed enforcement cam-
paign.
Between 2011 and 2013, ille-
gal and unsafe speeding con-
tributed to 235 deaths and 666
serious injuries, according to
DPS/OTS. In almost one in four
fatal crashes throughout the state
over the past 10 years, speed has
been a factor.
So far, there have been 187
traffic deaths, 19 fewer than
were reported this time a year
ago.
The agency also notes that
summer is the deadliest season
on Minnesota roads, largely due
to motorists traveling at faster
speeds with clear roads giving
drivers a false sense of security.
In Wright County, the fastest
speeder was clocked at 84 mph,
far slower than the fastest
speeder in the state, who was
clocked at 125 mph by the Min-
nesota State Patrol.
The Wright County Sheriffs
Office also led all county agen-
cies outside the metro area with
38 seat belt violations.
According to DPS/OTS, a
total of 16,926 drivers were
cited during the campaign by
310 law enforcement agencies
throughout the state.
The organization used the
campaign to communicate the
dangers of speeding.
The pain of a speeding
ticket does not compare to the
physical and emotional pain you
can experience from a speed-re-
lated crash, said Donna Berger,
OTS director. Law enforcement
hears all kinds of excuses, but
there is no excuse to put you and
others in harm's way by speed-
ing.

For seven Maple Lake High
School students, summer vaca-
tion has been more than just a
break from school. Its been a
time to earn on-the-job training.
Katherine Borgert, Josh
Chambliss, Elijah Lark, Brandon
Latzig, Hailee Malachek, Wesley
Roehlke and Brady Tongen have
been working at True Friends
Camp Courage near Maple Lake
three days each week.
The student workers are
gaining valuable work-readiness
skills to help them be successful,
self-sufficient workers in the fu-
ture, said Jennifer Carl, a youth
employment specialist with Cen-
tral Minnesota Jobs and Training
Services, which provided a grant
for the program.
MLHS teacher Tana Fobbe
wrote CMJTS requesting the
grant and nominated the students
to be a part of the program. That
grant provides transportation for
the students to Camp Courage
three days a week and pays
wages for the students and their
supervisor.
Chad Stenson, the physical
plant director for True Friends,
believes the program is a win-
win for everyone involved.
In my mind, its helping the
community, Stenson said. The
community helps us all the time,
so its a nice way to pay them
back. The collaboration between
us and CMJTS gives kids a way
to give back in the summer and
get paid a bit for it, too.

Legislation
allows for
slight levy
increase
by Gabe Licht
Editor
Taxpayers in the Maple Lake
school district will see a slight
increase in the operating levy,
due in part to legislation passed
during the legislative session.
The increase comes out to
$27.75 per pupil unit, or about a
4 percent increase over the cur-
rent operating levy amount of
$696.25.
Superintendent Mark Re-
demske explained the situation
before the board approved the
increase by a 5-1 vote, with Ben
Elsenpeter dissenting and Shelly
Liljequist absent, during Mon-
day evenings board meeting.
Every district, starting in
2015, will have local operating
revenue of $424 that will be
right on top of the levy sheet
coming from the Minnesota De-
partment of Education, Re-
demske said. If we want to take
less than that, we need to under-
levy. The legislature has also al-
lowed school boards to remove
or add a levy of up to $300 for
up to five years without going to
the voters.
The $424 from the state is
added to the $300 amount that
the board has the authority to
impose for a total of $724, or
$27.75 more than the current
amount of $696.25.
According to Redemske, an
MDE representative had sug-
gested the district increase the
levy to the $300 mark for two
years.
They said to do it for a cou-
ple years and then, after two
years, re-authorize the full
$300, Redemske said.
He also clarified that the levy
is increasing per pupil unit not
per household. The amount per
household will vary based on
their tax assessment.

For the past 27 years, the Ex-
perimental Aircraft Association
Chapter 878 has hosted its an-
nual pork chop dinner and fly-in
on Labor Day weekend. For the
past three years, the Maple Lake
Chamber of Commerce has
hosted the Gear-Head Get To-
gether in downtown Maple Lake
on the third Saturday in August.
Saturday, for the first time ever,
the two events will take place on
the same day.
These two events are very
complementary as both cele-
brate creativity and freedom of
expression in motorized vehi-
cles, whether they operate on
land or in the air, said Wayne
Flury, the secretary of EAA
Chapter 878.
A free shuttle bus will trans-
port guests between the airport
and downtown.
Both events will have plenty
to offer.
Starting around 8 a.m., the
swap meet will begin and vehi-
cles will begin rolling into
downtown for the Get Together.
Last year, we had some-
where around 500 vehicles come
and go throughout the day, Get
Together committee co-chair
Scott Chantland said. We put
our emphasis on no plaques, no
trophies. It doesnt have to be a
specific year. If you like your
car, bring it. It doesnt have to be
a true show vehicle.
Between 75 to 80 swap meet
vendors sold gear-head-related
items a year ago.
Swap meet spots will be on a
first-come-first-served basis, but
Chantland doesnt believe any-
one will be turned away.
We definitely have room to
grow, he said.
While vehicles, swap meet
vendors and crowds gather,
Bondo Bob will be spinning vin-
tage vinyl records.
In the meantime, the fly-in
will begin at 10 a.m. with a ju-
ried craft show in the hangars,
meaning a committee selects
vendors rather than allowing
them on a first-come-first-served
basis. At least 30 vendors are ex-
pected.
The pork chop dinner will
take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2
p.m. Pizza, salads and other op-
tions have been added for vari-
ety.
And, of course, plenty of air-
craft will be on display.

New tax for county road projects a possibility
by John Holler
Correspondent
Nobody likes new taxes, but,
at times, theyre the only way to
get local projects completed. At
the Aug. 6 meeting of the
Wright County Board of Com-
missioners, Highway Engineer
Virgil Hawkins came before the
board to discuss future county
road projects and the potential
funding gap.
Hawkins explained that the
issue had been discussed at the
July 21 transportation commit-
tee of the whole meeting and
that, over the past 20 years,
costs for transportation projects
have increased about 300 per-
cent while available funding has
not kept pace. The result has
been a deterioration of the con-
dition of the countys highway
system. As a result of this fund-
ing gap, much-needed recon-
struction projects have been
delayed.
As things currently stand, the
funding gap will result in the
delay or reduction of several
projects scheduled for 2015 and
beyond.
The projects identified in
our five-year plan will have to
be delayed due to current fund-
ing levels, Hawkins said.
These are all reconstruction
projects, but our current level of
funding only allows for pave-
ment-preservation projects. One
of our new options is a local op-
tion sales tax that could be im-
plemented in Wright County so
we can do reconstruction proj-
ects.
The commissioners dis-
cussed a pair of options. One
would be the imposition of a
wheelage tax to generate up to
$1.2 million a year. A local op-
tion sales tax would generate $5
million to $6 million annually
with about 20 percent of those
costs coming from Wright
County residents.
Currently, state aid, federal
aid and local levy dollars cover
about $7.2 million on average,
while the needs are close to $12
million or more a year to keep
the highway system from fur-
ther deterioration.
New tax

A week ago Tuesday it was a matter of moving around trying to
find a school of feeding sunfish, kind of like hunting and looking for
game. George Palmer and I didnt find them in spots where there were
fish previously, but other spots seemed to hold fish. It took a lot of
sorting and we felt fortunate to put 28 sunfish in the live well. It was
a warm day and we got off the lake before it turned hot on a day with
little breeze. We were fishing in 13-14 ft. On Friday I paired up with
Jim Lemieux, again in the early morning. It was a day when the sunfish
didnt cooperate at all even though we tried different spots. We strug-
gled to find Lemieux a meal of sunfish, but its still fun to be out there.
Listening to his experiences while fishing Maple Lake with former lo-
cals, most of whom are doing their angling in the hereafter, was inter-
esting to say the least. Its fair to say Lemieux and his buddies have
boated a lot of fish. Besides the sunfish I had some fun Northern action.
I boated a four-pounder, lost another one when I neglected to retie my
sunfish hook which apparently was nicked. We were continuing to
fish sunfish when another fish (apparently a Northern) bit and stripped
my sunfish jig off, an example of poor knot-tieing. I had another small
Northern on, but not large enough for the frying pan. We called it a
day around 11:00 when the heat was starting to get to Vanna, and us
as well. Vannas not a dog that does much barking, but she tuned up
when the Northern was flopping around in the boat. Lemieux com-
mented on Sunday that filleting the Northern told him he was rusty in
that department and it took him some extra time to get the job done.
Im inclined to try a different lake the next time out.
We spotted a doe and two fawns next to Ney Parks south boundary
off County Road 8 Friday afternoon while northbound. The fawns still
had their spots and apparently were feeding on grass on the Goelz
property. Its also neat to see wildlife that close and I was surprized
the fawns were still sporting spots. On Sunday two sand hill cranes
were feeding in a meadow just south of the Hank Potter farm when I
was taking Vanna out for a walk. Im still hoping to see a covey of
pheasants, but it hasnt happened yet!

Sundays final baseball game in Region 12C was between Maple
Lake and Loretto which the Lakers won 7-4. The Lakers defeated
Loretto 4 zip on Friday to remain the only team undefeated in Region
12. Fans saw a great pitching effort by Jeremy Schmidt in that shut-
out. Laker first baseman and manager Chad Raiche drove in the first
Laker run and Todd Fuller had two rbis on his double later in the game.
Schmidt was awesome in the final two innings when he apparently
could smell a shut-out win. Loretto defeated Howard Lake 8-4 on Sat-
urday to match them again with the Lakers for seeding rights. Playing
three games in three days took a toll on the Loretto pitching staff and
walks pretty much determined the Sunday outcome. Pitcher Mitch
Wurm gave up only four hits if memory serves me right. Luke Fobbe,
at short, was kept busy with six or seven assists. Besides the Maple
Lake wins, the fans also set a record in attendance with over 2,300 at-
tending the Region 12C games.
The next step for the Lakers, who have a first-round bye in the state
tournament, will be at Jordan on Friday, Aug. 22, in a 7:30 p.m. game
with the winner of the Hanska-Sobieski game. Other North Star
League teams have games as following the first week of the tourna-
ment: Friday 8/15 at 7:30 in Belle Plaine (C) Howard Lake vs. (9B)
Montevideo; Saturday 8/16 at 5:00 in Jordan (12B) Loretto vs. (3C)
St. Benedict; and on Sunday 8/17 at noon in Jordan (12D) Delano vs.
(13B) Luverne.

On Monday morning the noise of road construction equipment
jarred me out of bed when Annandales Hot Mix started delivering bi-
tuminous to my end of Linden Ave. North. The plan is to lay down the
first coat of blacktop this year and put on the final wear coat next year
and I suspect all of the blacktopping will be done in the city before
Saturdays Gear Head Day.

New Laws
Hello Neighbors,
A number of new laws went
into effect on August 1, 2014. The
House of Representatives has a
handy tool to help you sort
through this list at
http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/
hinfo/newlaws2014-0.asp
While the list of new laws is
too comprehensive to detail here,
I wanted to share with you some
bigger changes that took effect
August 1, 2014.
MINIMUM WAGE
INCREASE
Effective August 1, the states
minimum hourly wage will in-
crease from $6.15 to $8.00. This
begins the process of increases
that will eventually take Min-
nesota to a wage of $9.50 in 2016.
Beginning in 2018, the minimum
wage will increase each year to
match inflation. The law is tiered
as follows:
For businesses exceeding
$500,000 in gross annual sales: $8
minimum wage beginning Au-
gust 1, 2014; $9 in August 2015;
and $9.50 in August 2016
For businesses not exceeding
$500,000 in gross annual sales:
$6.50 minimum wage beginning
August 1, 2014; $7.25 in August
2015; and $7.75 in August 2016
I strongly support Minnesotas
working families, and believe
they have a right to earn a fair,
reasonable wage. This is why I
supported raising the minimum
wage to meet federal standards.
However, the increase passed by
the Democrats is excessive. It
puts us out of step with surround-
ing states, and the automatic in-
creases adjusted to inflation are
going to tie businesses hands
even further. Local businesses are
already being harmed by tax in-
creases passed both at the state
and federal level and by the bur-
densome mandates of Oba-
macare; this extreme increase is
too much for them to bear. Unfor-
tunately, Minnesota families are
going to be the ones to pay the
price for these policies.
FIREARMS
RESTRICTIONS FOR
DOMESTIC ABUSERS
A new law will require people
who are subject to court ordered
restraining orders to surrender
their firearms for the length of the
order. No firearm would have to
be surrendered without due
process or a court conviction; the
law does not allow illegal
searches and seizures. The
firearm would have to be trans-
ferred to a government authority
after the court action; any person
that accepts a firearm from an of-
fender will be guilty of a gross
misdemeanor.
Sign colors
Question: With the new law of
$300 fines in construction zones I
have a question. I know the white
speed limit sign is the legal speed
limit. Are orange signs supposed
to be advisory or warning signs?
Can you get a ticket for going the
speed of the white sign when
there is also some orange signs
posted? Ive seen some construc-
tion zones with white and orange
signs posted 55mph and then
some orange signs with 35mph
speed signs. What is the legal
speed limit?
Answer: You are correct; mo-
torists who speed through a work
zone will be fined $300 (effective
August 1, 2014) thanks to a new
law passed during the 2014 state
legislative session.
The white speed limit signs are
the official regulatory sign. The
orange signs serve as a warning;
even though they are not regula-
tory they are intended to provide
clear instructions to help you
drive safely. So if the posted
speed limit is 55 mph, and you
see an orange sign indicating 35
mph, I would recommend slow-
ing to the indicated speed. Min-
nesota signs, signals, and
pavement markings conform to
the national standards. Sign
Color Meanings:
Regulatory
Red: Prohibits and commands
White: Regulates
Warning
Yellow: Warns
Yellow-green: Warns and con-
trols pedestrian and bicycle cross-
ings and school areas
Orange: Warns and controls in
construction zones
Informational
Green: Guides and informs
Blue: Describes services for
motorists
Brown: Indicates historic, cul-
tural, or recreational sites

fice of the Revisor of Statutes. If

ing traffic related laws or issues

Jail house lawyers
and legal myths
Jailhouse Lawyer is a term
that is applied to people who have
not had formal legal education
but who have amassed consider-
able on-the-job training as the re-
sult of their negative experiences
with the law. Unfortunately, they
usually know just enough to get
themselvesand othersinto
trouble. Here are a number of
legal myths that you can often
hear being given as advice by
these jailhouse lawyers.
MYTH No. 1The public
defenders work for the govern-
ment, not you, so youre better
off hiring a real attorney, i.e. a
private attorney.
TRUTHPublic defenders
are the most competent attorneys
that appear in court. They special-
ize in the criminal law and usu-
ally know more about criminal
law and the criminal process than
all but a very few lawyers in the
state. The local public defenders
also know the prosecutors, know
the judges, and are familiar with
the makeup of the juries in the
various counties. While public
defenders do get paid by the state,
they work for their clients and
they take their jobs very seri-
ously. Many defendants (or their
families) have shelled out big
bucks for private attorneys, only
to have the same result (or worse)
than a public defender could have
obtained. The best recommenda-
tion for public defenders comes
from law enforcement. I have
heard a number of police officers
say the same thing about public
defenders: I hate embut if I
was ever in trouble, I would want
them to represent me.
MYTH No. 2Dont worry,
they cant use your confession
cause they didnt read you no
Miranda rights.
TRUTHA Miranda warn-
ing advises a person that they
have a right to remain silent and
that anything they say can be
used against them. They have a
right to talk to an attorney and
one will be furnished if they cant
afford one. However, a Miranda
warning only is required when
defendants are in custody. Nor-
mally, a police officer will per-
form an investigation before a
defendant is placed under arrest
or placed in custody. Anything
said to the officer during this in-
vestigation stage is usually going
to be admissible at trial. Exam-
ple: Responding to a house fire,
police found a marijuana growing
operation and also a safe. Before
arresting the owner of the house,
they asked him what was in the
safe. The owner stated that it con-
tained money from his marijuana
growing operation and also his
magic mushrooms. His state-
ments were used to obtain a
search warrant and will be admis-
sible if the case comes to trial. A
Miranda warning wasnt neces-
sary. Once he was arrested, his
Miranda rights were read to him.
Then hedecided to remain
silenttoo late.
MYTH No. 3The states
got a weak case. All they got is
circumstantial evidence.
TRUTHA common myth is
that circumstantial evidence is
somehow inherently weak and
that the state cant get a convic-
tion based on circumstantial evi-
dence alone. In fact, the
instruction that is read to a jury is
a fact can be proved by direct
evidence, circumstantial evidence
or by both and the law does not
prefer one type of evidence over
the other.
EXAMPLE: In a case in Red-
wood County, a defendant tried to
intimidate a witness in a murder
case. He decided to burn down
the witnesss house. Not being
the sharpest knife in the drawer,
he burned down the wrong house.
While no one saw him burn down
the house, police were able to fol-
low the defendants footprints in
the snow back to the defendants
house. Oh yes, the defendant
wore size 16 shoes. It may have
been circumstantial evidence, but
it was very good circumstantial
evidence. This fellow is presently
serving a very long prison sen-
tence.
Judges are not supposed to
give legal advice to people. I
think its fair, however, to pass on
this suggestion: Never rely on ad-
vice given by someone sitting in
the cell next to yours.

Making the business
case for rural America
These days, it seems like its
easier than ever to turn a good
idea into reality. This is the era of
Kickstarter, where entrepreneurs
can connect with potential in-
vestors at the click of a button.
Of course, it takes more than
money to grow an idea. It takes
an atmosphere that fosters cre-
ativity and rewards innovation.
And at a deeper, less obvious
level, it requires strong, secure in-
frastructureroads and bridges,
but also internet access and com-
munity facilities like hospitals
and schoolsthat improves con-
nectivity and access to informa-
tion, moves products to market,
and makes communities compet-
itive and attractive to new busi-
nesses and investments.
Part of the challenge we face
in rural America is that in too
many places, infrastructure is
outdated and cannot support the
same kinds of opportunities that
are easily found in cities and
larger towns.
USDA itself has a strong
record of supporting rural infra-
structure upgrades. Our Rural
Development program has a loan
portfolio of over $200 billion di-
rect and guaranteed loans. Yet,
there continues to be significant
unmet demand for investment in
rural America that exceeds our
capacity.
We cant address this disparity
alone, which is why this week,
USDA, as part of the White
House Rural Council, hosted the
first-ever Rural Opportunity In-
vestment Conference. This con-
ference brought together key
people from the investment com-
munity, rural areas and govern-

Aug. 6 Wright County
Attorneys report
All seven of the Twin Cities
metro counties have imposed a
local option sales tax to cover such
projects, as has the city of St.
Cloud.
The commissioners weighed
the pros and cons of implementing
either of the tax options, but
Hawkins said that, if the county is
to maintain its road system, more
funding than is currently available
is needed.
Several other counties have
used this option because the costs
of road reconstruction have risen
so much, Hawkins said. At the
current level funding, without
such a tax, we wont be able to do
the projects we have in our five-
year plan as reconstruction proj-
ects. This is an option we should
look into during the budget hear-
ings.
The board authorized Hawkins
to research whether adjacent
counties have implemented the
local option sales tax and/or whee-
lage tax and share that information
with the commissioners at the up-
coming budget meetings for fur-
ther discussion.
In other business, the board:
By a 4-1 vote, approved send-
ing out requests for proposal to get
prices for the design and construc-
tion of a new Public Works Build-
ing. Commissioner Pat Sawatzke
said he couldnt support the pro-
posal because the proposed cost of
$18.5 million includes $7.5 mil-
lion for a warm storage facility.
Sawatzke said that cost would be
much too high if it includes the
warm storage building and ques-
tioned whether such a building is
actually required, since many gov-
ernment units and large businesses
dont have such facilities and that
the cost of building one for part-
time winter use is prohibitive.
Agreed to take a longer look
at replacing the veteran
service/nuclear position. It has
been years since the job descrip-
tion has been updated and many
of the duties are similar to those
done by the emergency manage-
ment department. Former Com-
missioner Karla Heeter spoke to
the commissioners, suggesting

Looking at the amount of in-
crease at 4 percent, board member
Joe Paumen said, It seems like
our operating levy has been the
right amount.
Redemske confirmed that as-
sessment.
I hear people complain that
taxes are too high for the school
district, board member Shelley
McAlpine said.
I dont think we can turn
down $27 per pupil, Board Chair
Arnie Michalicek said. Weve
always had a policy of levying the
maximum so we can offer the
highest quality of education. This
is doing the same thing in my
opinion. Most years, taxes stay
the same or go down. This isnt
asking for it back, but getting
back some that were losing. I
think we need to do it.
Michalicek calculated that the
benefit to the district would be
about $24,300, using an estima-
tion of 900 pupil units, a number
that is changing constantly.
Lets say there were 1,000
property owners and it was spread
evenly, Paumen said. It would
be about $25 each.
Nobody wants to pay more
taxes, but this makes sense to
me, board member Ed Trager
added.
McAlpine compared the in-
crease to the decision to up activ-
ity fees with little or no resistance
from parents.
Following the vote, Redemske
thanked the board for the time
they invested in the decision.
I understand its one of those
decisions thats not easy, he said.
For more information from the
meeting, see the minutes in the
Aug. 20 issue of The Messenger.
If past experiences are any in-
dication, the students involved get
a lot out of the program.
Its wonderful because weve
had so many kids come through
and they come back and thank
us, Stenson said. Its a great
feeling to help kids out and were
getting help, too.
One example of success was a
student who went through the
program and is now a department
manager with True Friends. An-
other example was a student who
was interested in being a me-
chanic, so he changed oil and did
other mechanical tasks at a camp.
He has since moved on to become
a mechanic.
Work opportunities vary by
the day.
They do anything under the
sun as far as maintenance goes,
Stenson said. They may plunge
toilets one day and clean up storm
damage the next. Working at a
camp in the maintenance depart-
ment is like working in 50 differ-
ent homes. Anything youd do
with a home, you have to do in
maintenance.
Stenson said he has worked
with CMJTS for the past six
years.
CMJTS works specifically to
provide employment and training
services to help disadvantaged
youth achieve their potential to
become productive and self-suffi-
cient.
It is important that we do what
we can to protect families and in-
dividuals who have been the vic-
tims of stalking or domestic
assault, but there are already a
number of legal protections in
place relating to offenders own-
ing firearms. This legislation was
redundant, and I have concerns
that it will eventually be used to
rollback the rights of gun owners.
As a strong Second Amendment
supporter, I believe we have a re-
sponsibility to protect both law-
abiding citizens and victims of
abuse equally.
CELL PHONE PRIVACY
On August 1, the government
must either get a warrant or show
probable cause before accessing
the location of an individuals
cell phone. Such a warrant would
be valid for up to 60 days, with
extensions possible. The only cir-
cumstances in which a warrant
would not be necessary is to re-
cover a lost or stolen device; to
respond to calls for emergency
services; or with documented
consent from the owner or legal
guardian of the owner; or when
there is an emergency situation
involving immediate danger of
death or severe injury to the per-
son in possession of the device.
I know you value your right to
privacy and your personal prop-
erty, and I am concerned that
those rights are being eroded. As
technology evolves, it is our re-
sponsibility to update privacy
laws so everyone is playing by
the same rules. While we trust
law enforcement officials to do
the right thing, we should make
sure the law is clear for everyone
to follow. For many of us, our
cell phones contain a large
amount of personal, private infor-
mation; this bill is critical to
strengthening our privacy laws
and keeping your data private.
This bill passed with strong bi-
partisan support.
Keep in Touch
I believe strongly in con-
stituent services so please contact
me with questions or comments
or if you need any assistance on
a state government issue.

ment to make the business case
for investing in rural America.
In conjunction with the con-
ference, we also announced a
new $10 billion Rural Infrastruc-
ture Opportunity Fund. Sup-
ported entirely by private sector
dollars with an initial investment
from CoBank, a national cooper-
ative bank and member of the
Farm Credit System, and man-
aged by Capitol Peak Asset Man-
agement, the Fund offers a
sustainable platform for new
kinds of investors to inject bil-
lions into rural infrastructure
projects.
Up until now, we have faced a
major hurdle when it comes to
making the connection between
the demand for investment in
rural areas and the financial com-
munity. The new Fund serves as
a proof point that rural America
is a promising investment. The fi-
nancial community should look
at investing in rural America not
just as a good thing to dothere
is a huge opportunity for them to
see a return on their investment
in rural America as well.
The Fund represents a new
approach to USDAs support for
job-creating projects across the
country. It allows us to act as a
matchmaker between strong proj-
ects and potential private in-
vestors and expands our capacity
to facilitate rural investment be-
yond what we can do alone.
Rural America needs strong,
stable infrastructure in order to
meet the current demand for food
and farm products, as well as the
growing demand in areas such as
renewable energy, local and re-
gional food, and the bioeconomy.
To attract young people to rural
America, prevent rural brain
drain," and ensure a stable rural
workforce, we have to make sure
that rural areas offer the same
breadth of opportunity that cities
can offer and that starts with
strong, modern infrastructure.
These are high-potential areas
that will create jobs and stimulate
growth, which makes rural infra-
structure not just a rural issue
its a national economic issue,
too.
We believe that this Fund and
the communities brought to-
gether for the first time at this
weeks conference are a key part
of addressing the unmet demand
for rural investment. If we can in-
ject even a small portion of the
enormous amount of available in-
vestment capital in the United
States into rural projects, we can
help to foster an environment that
spurs rural innovation and en-
sures that rural America remains
open for business.

1st Annual Friends of
Bertram photo contest
Q: I hear a lot about invasive
insects like emerald ash borer
and gypsy moths, but what are
some of the good bugs that help
keep our forests healthy?
A: There are many more
beneficial insects than insect
pests; we just dont hear about
them as often. One beneficial
insect, the friendly fly, is named
for its habit of repeatedly land-
ing on people without biting.
The larvae of this fly feed on
forest tent caterpillars inside
their cocoons. During the third
or fourth year of a caterpillar
outbreak in Minnesota, the
friendly fly can kill nearly 90
percent of the cocoons.
Parasitic wasps also keep in-
sect populations in check. Most
parasitic wasps are extremely
small, which is why we dont
usually see them at work. There
are thousands of different
species, none of which sting
people, but nearly every insect
species is attacked by parasitic
wasps during at least one life
stage. Beneficial wasps feed on
pests such as spruce budworm,
gypsy moth, fall webworm and
emerald ash borer.
Many types of beetles, the
largest and most diverse group
of insects, are predacious and
feed on aphids, scale insects,
caterpillars, other beetles and
more. The larvae of one beetle
family called checkered beetles
feed on harmful wood-boring
insects such as bark beetles, po-
tentially preventing an out-
break.

The Maple Lake Lakers se-
cured the No. 1 seed from Region
12C over the weekend with two
wins over the Loretto Larks.
The No. 1 seed grants the Lak-
ers a first-round bye and the first
pick in the 12C pitchers draft,
which occurred Sunday after the
championship game. Maple Lake
chose Ben Hendrickson from the
Maple Plain Diamond Devils and
Tyler Zweibohmer and Kyle
Kaczmarek from the Dassel-
Cokato Saints.
The other seeds for Region 12C
were also determined as Loretto
took the No. 2 seed, Howard Lake
took the No. 3 seed, and Delano
took the No. 4 seed over the course
of the weekend. Those seeds will
start the tournament next weekend
in Jordan and Belle Plaine while
the Lakers must wait until the fol-
lowing weekend for their first
game.
Loretto Larks 0
Maple Lake Lakers 4
Friday nights game featured
the two remaining undefeated
teams in the 12C playoffs battling
for an easy road to the champi-
onship on Sunday.
Jeremy Schmidt got the start
for the home-team Lakers and
Schmidt came to work, quickly
turning the game over to the of-
fense.
Maple Lake put the pressure on
immediately when a Chad Raiche
double drove in Graham Brown
for what would be the winning run
in the bottom of the first.
The offense tacked on a run in
the fourth thanks to Riley Decker
and two more in the fifth off a
Todd Fuller double.
Schmidt was a force of nature
on the mound, giving up four hits
and a walk against nine strikeouts
for his second-straight complete-
game shutout in the post-season
and his second complete-game
shutout against Loretto this season.
The defense behind Schmidt
was stout, committing only one
error while playing like a team that
wants to play on Labor Day.

Loretto beat Howard Lake in
the late game Saturday, setting up
a rematch with the Lakers on Sun-
day.
Mitch Wurm got the nod but
got off to a slow start, in part due
to a pair of Maple Lake errors and
a few timely hits to put the Larks
up 2-0 after two innings.
Trailing early for the first time
in the playoffs, Maple Lake had to
turn the game around. The offense
started rolling in the fourth, scoring
two, before opening up the game
with a four-run fifth. Most of the
runs were thanks to patience at the
plate, as the Lakers drew a total of
11 walks over the course of the
game to go with their three hits.

afternoon, when practices began. Volleyball and cross country practices also began.

The defense turned the game
around thanks in part to some
great plays by Luke Fobbe at
shortstop. Wurm got in on the
turnaround, too, shutting Loretto
down the last seven innings of the
game, giving up five hits and no
walks against four strikeouts for
the win.

(Left) Preschool Storytime focused on pets on Thursday, Aug. 7, as 19 children brought in and shared pictures of their
pets, or gave the names of their pets, which were put up on a pet chart. They counted how many pets were listed and
which row had the most pictures or names. Dogs won. They also learned some funny pet songs and fingerplays. Marie
read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You a Give Dog a Donut, written by Laura Numeroff, and then gave each
child a paper scavenger hunt to find all the things that the dog wanted in the story, in the right order. These children at-
tended: Clark and Oliver Hawkinson, Sophia Norberg, Elena Castro, Aubrey Jude, Allie and Carter Ertel, Ben and Ellie
Ogram, Elijah Dorse, Ryder Dettwiler, Colton Klatt, Michael and Andrew Boe, Abigail and Isabelle Forsman, George
Sylvester, Larson and Isabelle Melgaard. There are only two Preschool Storytime classes left. Preschoolers are asked
to bring a picture of a fish or a toy fish for Aug. 14, and their birthdates on a piece of paper for Aug. 21. (Right) After lis-
tening to the book on Tuesday, Rocket Writes a Story, Ben Ogram, Danica Hageman and Ellie Ogram write their own
stories with a little inspiration from Boone. The Summertime Books with Boone end-of-the-season social will be from
9:30 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19, at Four Sticks Farm (1111 80th St. NW, Buffalo). (Photos submitted)

School
Marching Irish update
4-Hers shine
at county fair
by Nathan Mitchell
Band Director
The Maple Lake Marching
Irish was pretty busy this sum-
mer. The show music was taken
from the movie "Pirates of the
Caribbean." Due to the added
school days, the Marching Irish
only had three camp days to pre-
pare the show. Learning to put
everything together in that short
amount of time proved to be a
challenge, but the students
worked hard and made it happen.
Over the course of the sum-
mer, the Marching Irish per-
formed at Princeton, Waite Park,
Hutchinson, Foley, St. Cloud,
and Alexandria, scoring as high
as third in Class A in some pa-
rades. Two days after the Alexan-
dria parade, most of the members
and some parents traveled to
Denver, Colo. for some site see-
ing and also to represent Min-
nesota in parades for the cities of
Greeley and Park Hill. The group
stopped at places like Redrocks
Amphitheater, Estes Park, Rocky
Mountain National Park, Civic
Center Park for July 4th fire-
works with the Denver Sym-
phony Orchestra, Mile High Step
at the capital, white-water rafting
along the Arkansas River, Mount
Princeton Hot Springs and even
Mount Rushmore on the way
back to Minnesota. The trip was
a great success and everyone had
a blast.
The group this past season
marked the first year the march-
ing band was under the direction
of band director Nathan Mitchell
and his staff. "We wanted to give
everyone a show that was consis-
tent, made sense, and was fun. A
show that we as staff would want
to march. We didn't want to do
too much in our first year so we
could get a handle on this style
of parade competitions. After we
started to get the hang of it, we
started working on next years
schedule and show right after the
Alexandria parade and have
worked since then to prepare for
next season. We're definitely ex-
cited to work off of last year's
successes."

playing rock n roll and doo-
wop music from 1954 to 1964
beginning at noon. They will
play until 1 p.m., return to the
stage from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
and close out their set from 3
to 4 p.m.
Providing new entertain-
ment this year, the squid
wheelies will be performing in
front of the fire department at
1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Theyre sport bike stunt
performers that do crazy
things on motorcycles,
Chantland said.
In addition to getting their
fill of entertainment at the two
events, no one should go home
hungry.
The lack of food was the
only negative thing we heard
last year, Chantland said.
For that reason, several
food options have been added
and vendors will have separate
lines for food and beverages.
Food options will include pork
chops, sweet corn, steak sand-
wiches, chicken wings, ham-
burgers, brats, hot dogs, gyros,
walking tacos and pulled pork
sandwiches.
Between the entertainment
and food at both events,
Chantland believes there will
be something for everyone.
Everyone can come; you
dont have to be a gear-head,
he said. If you like a good,
free day, come on down.
He also thanked the com-
munity for the support, as well
as the sponsors who help make
the event possible.
Wed like to show were
so grateful for the commu-
nitys support and our spon-
sors, he said. If we didnt
have the communitys support,
we wouldnt do it. Hopefully,
they all come out and enjoy it
as well.
