E-cigarettes now included in county tobacco ordinance

There has been a public debate as to whether electronic cigarettes have the same level of health risk as traditional tobacco cigarettes. Some see e-cigarettes as an alternative for those looking to quit smoking. Others see them as merely a different form of smoking. At the Oct. 8 meeting of the Wright County Board, the commissioners debated whether to categorize ecigarettes as a component of the countys tobacco ordinance. The county regulates where tobacco products can be sold and requires a license be issued for those who sell them. The issue, as discussed by the board, is whether e-cigarettes are categorized in the same way as traditional cigarettes. The proliferation of ecigarettes in Minnesota has spread in recent months when the state raised the price of cigarettes about $2 a pack. Assistant County Attorney Brian Asleson said the county has received inquiries about whether e-cigarettes are viewed as tobacco products or not, since there is no secondhand smoke. The ordinance changes wouldnt differentiate between standard tobacco cigarettes and the electronic alternative.

Windstream customers outraged over DSL outage

Many local Windstream Communications customers have been faced with an unwelcome surprise in recent days when trying to use their computers. Their DSL which stands for digital subscriber line Internet has been down. Ron Wolseth, who lives in

Clearwater Township, reported his DSL service went down at 8 a.m. Friday. His disappointment with the lack of Internet service grew as he experienced a lack of answers, or at least consistent answers. I called them nine times and finally talked to a supervisor, Wolseth said. She explained that this outage is affecting 10,000
people and that the dispatcher is scheduling technician appointments. The first person had told me it would be next Tuesday (Oct. 22), but the supervisor said it would be Oct. 29. She said there were 200 people working on it. Attempts to verify those numbers were unsuccessful. A Windstream representative told The Messenger she could not see how
many individuals were affected or how many employees were working to solve the problem. A supervisor returned a call and referred questions to the corporate office at 501-748-7000. A message left at that number was not returned prior to press time, however, the representative did offer an explanation. I do see two types of out-
ages, she said, after first saying Maple Lake was not experiencing outages. One outage is latency, which is slow speeds. The outage that was most recently affecting our customers was the box where the connections go to, we are currently working on the individual lines.

Authorities release photos of suspect

The Wright County Sheriffs Office and Annandale police are continuing to ask for the publics help in locating Preston Jordan Saengchanthalath, the only atlarge suspect connected to the Sept. 28 murder of Kyle Greene in Annandale. Both departments have released photos of the 18-year-old who is from Wright County, but may be in the St. Cloud area, according to authorities. Saengchanthalath has been charged with second-degree murder and first-degree aggravated robbery. According to court documents, Saengchanthalath was one of three suspects who allegedly entered Greenes garage to rob him of money and drugs. Investigators describe Sangchanthalath as a 5 foot, 5 inch, 175-pound Asian male with brown eyes and brown hair. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts should contact Wright County Sheriffs Office Dispatch at 763-682-7733. A total of five people have been arrested in connection with the murder, with four of them being charged. Thomas Kevin Saengchanthalath, 19, was initially arrested for investigation of aiding and abetting first-degree aggravated robbery, but was released.

Maple Lake Library President Rhonda Pagel said. Thats fine because the big push was to get it open and stay up to date. With those two big goals accomplished, the board is now looking for the next goal. We looked at a survey to see what we are doing well and what to improve on, Pagel said. For example, do our hours work? Do
we have the materials people want? So, we want people to do the survey so we know what to work on moving forward. The survey is available at maplelakelibrary.com or ww.surveymonkey.com/s/MapleLakeLibrary. For those without Internet availability, paper copies are also available at the library, Maple Lake City Hall, Maple Lake Lum-
ber and Star Bank. City Economic Development Director Paul Bilotta assisted the board in creating the 13-question survey. Its right up his alley because hes familiar with the city and the library, Pagel said. Part of his job is to look for grants and he passes information about grants that could be used for the library to us.
The board shared its vision with Bilotta and he worked on formulating the questions, which are predominantly in multiple-choice format, with many questions having space for comments or suggestions. continued on page 3

There was a lot of color in the trees when the four of us, Daryl Hennen and Coco and Vanna and myself, headed north on Highway 10 toward ruffed grouse county Sunday morning. Of course that was after the sun provided enough light to give the landscape a brilliance that is part of Minnesotas autumn season. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the Great Northern Cafe in Park Rapids and then headed further north to the Boot Lake area where we hoped to find some ruffed grouse. Its an area that has held birds, but that was back when the cycle was in our favor. On Sunday we had a problem finding any grouse, but Hennen eventually heard one drumming which he pursued the second time it drummed. He and Cocos nose found the log the grouse had been perching on while it was drumming and it flushed ahead of them as they were closing in. Daryl said he got a glimpse, but not enough time to shoot. Later that morning we had a timberdoodle flush and fly down the trail ahead of us. We both shot, but my effort was a split second later than Hennens and its safe to say he did the harvesting. We spent some time in the Two Inlets State on some great looking hunters walking trails, but we didnt raise a grouse feather. From there we drove east toward the First Crow Wing Lake and started looking for a Hunters Walking Trail which we had discovered on our first trip to that area, but hadnt hunted. In the process of looking, but never finding the gated trail, we came across two ruffed grouse while driving down a forest road. The first one scooted across the trail and apparently continued running in the brush. The dogs came across its scent, and Hennen heard the grouse flush. I didnt hear a thing and Im beginning to think I should get a pair of hunting hearing aids! They would be more secure than the type generally available for older guys like me who could lose them fighting the brush. Anyway, I was fortunate to

harvest one grouse on the same trail which is my first for the year. For the day we flushed four grouse and three woodcock. We came across a flock of wood ducks while looking for grouse along a waterway and Hennen decided to switch to steel shot as he had a duck stamp. Naturally we didnt see any more ducks accidentally or on purpose. We came across two flocks of turkeys along the roadside with about 8-10 birds in each group. They seem to be a bird that can handle the extremes of Minnesotas climate. Other local grouse hunters, most of whom hunt further north-east than we do, have had some mixed success finding birds. One of the best hunts was by Mike Lauer and his son, Jordan, who harvested seven of the 15 they flushed and shot at. They were hoofing it and Mike figured they put in a lot of miles in the process. I didnt get out for the pheasant opener on Saturday, but its on my agenda for later this month after the corn harvesting is winding down. * * * In the fishing department George Palmer and I made an effort to find some sunfish last week Tuesday. That was one of the nicest days of last week, and while the fishing wasnt the greatest we enjoyed the afternoon. Palmer caught most of the eight keeper fish caught. Palmer barely had his line in the water and he had a strike. He said right off it wasnt sunfish and he played the two-pound bass which he subsequently released. We couldnt seem to find a concentration of sunfish that day regardless of the type of bait, nighties or artificial, we were using. We each caught a hammer-handle Northern and Palmer lost a sunfish jig when one of his Northerns cut his line. Palmer was wondering if I was going to buy any of the new Viking Stadiums licensed seats which have been a topic of interest for several weeks. My response was Id go for the best available if hed loan me the $10,000 or whatever it would take. I didnt get a positive response! * * * I used last Fridays strong winds to give me an assist with the leaves in my back yard. The wind was from the south and by cutting the lawn the winds gusts blew the majority of the leaves into the Hwy. 55 ditch which is filled with cattails. Its been a great fall for yard work and getting things buttoned up for winter. Thats not to say Im ready for winter, but its something that comes every year and being prepared is half of the battle.
Viewpoint
Dear neighbor, As you may already know, MNsure the Minnesota arm of Obamacare is now open. The beginning of October also marked the deadline for the grand unveiling for the new MNsure website. On October 1, the site went live just a few minutes after 3:00 p.m. and then crashed for about 30 minutes before becoming available with limited functions. There were widespread delays and errors with creating accounts, verifying identity, and comparing plan costs. One notable delay is the search by provider function. The website asks users if it's important for them to keep their current doctor or clinic. When a user clicks the yes button, a message appears saying the function isn't available. This may be a big problem for people who are anxious to find out if they can keep their doctor if they buy a plan through MNsure. Weve also learned that while small businesses will now be able to pick plans for their employees to choose from, their employees will not be able to enroll until December. This is cutting it very close to the December 15 deadline for enrollment for January 1 coverage. It has taken two years and $150 million taxpayer dollars just to get Obamacare in Minnesota off the ground, and questions remain about the cost of plans and number of options available on MNsure, and the security of personal information in the enrollment process. Given the fact that a MNsure employee inadver-

tently e-mailed names, addresses, and Social Security numbers of over 1,000 insurance agents to a brokers office in Apple Valley, Im skeptical that the personal information of the 1.3 million Minnesotans that MNsure seeks to enroll will be kept secure. Childcare unionization Toward the end of the legislative session, Democrats passed a bill that would force childcare providers independent small business owners to join a union. Since Governor Dayton signed the legislation, the law has been challenged in court by childcare providers. While a federal district court initially dismissed the lawsuit, the childcare providers appealed. A few weeks ago, we learned that the federal appellate court granted the childcare providers motion for an injunction of the childcare unionization law essentially putting the law on hold temporarily. The appeals court ruled the law should be halted until we know whether the U.S. Supreme Court would be taking up a similar case out of Illinois. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it was, in fact, taking up the Illinois-based case. This means that Minnesotas childcare unionization law is on hold for now until we hear otherwise from the federal appeals court or the U.S. Supreme Court. A decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on the Illinois case may come as late as June of 2014. Ill continue to keep you updated about this law. We all know that hardworking moms

and dads simply cannot afford the higher costs and fewer options that unionization would impose on childcare. Minimum wage On Monday, October 7, I attended a debate about a bill that would impose a 55% hike in the minimum wage in Minnesota. As co-chair of the House Small Business Caucus, Ive been concerned about the impact of this legislation since it was introduced. The debate took place at Maple Lake Bowl owned by former Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch of Buffalo in Maple Lake. Senator Koch debated Representative Ryan Winkler (DFL-Golden Valley). Representative Winklers bill to raise the minimum wage would force many small businesses in our community to make difficult decisions such as cut hours or staff, and not expand or grow their business. Nursing homes and disability group homes that rely on fixed rates set by the state would be severely squeezed be-
tween a minimum wage increase and no increase in their rates. Everybody can agree that many hardworking Minnesotans arent making enough money. The honest solution to that problem is to grow jobs with higher take-home pay in Minnesota. Unfortunately, the policies pushed by Representative Winkler and his party discourage job growth in Minnesota especially their new sales tax on warehousing, equipment repair and telecommunications. Republicans are committed to building a healthier economy where Minnesota businesses compete for good employees by offering higher wages. As always, you can still contact me by e-mail at Rep.Marion.ONeill@House.MN or contact my office at 651-2965063. I would gladly tour your business and learn directly from you how these changes will be affecting your business. Sincerely, Marion
A little more than eight months ago, I did something that is about to change my life. In a lot of ways, my life was already changing, but in about 130 hours when I say, I do, it will cement all those changes. Yes, I have it down to the hour. And at this hour, about 5 a.m. Monday, I cant sleep, so I figured I might as well put the thoughts that are keeping me awake to good use. I dont even know where to begin. If you read this space, you already know how I proposed to Sarah. If you missed that column, suffice it to say that she was surprised and nearly speechless, but was somehow still able to say, Yes. Just about every time Ive met someone new, they ask how Sarah and I met, so I figure I might as well put the story out there before we tie the knot. My friend, Ryan, one of his coworkers and I were looking to play poker and had decided to visit Grand Falls Casino near Sioux Falls, SD, to do so. Up against people who sat there with hundreds of dollars in chips in front of them, I did not last long. So I decided to try to change my luck on a slot machine or two. Eventually, I found myself at a Jackpot Block Party machine next to a group of girls and one guy. My luck must have started to change, or I was just playing slow enough, that the gal next to me ran out of money before I did and her friend decided to take her place. I hope you win and rub it in your friends face, I said. Maybe, but you probably just jinxed me, she replied. Well, if I jinxed you, Ill buy you a drink, I promised. A couple minutes later, I made good on that promise. We started talking about our jobs, interests, families, etc. Her friends circled the bar to make sure she was OK. My party had somehow lost more money than me and had congregated nearby, hinting that it was time to go. The hints got stronger, so we started to wrap up things. I had found out that Sarah worked part-time at a bookstore

and knew who Dewey Readmore Books was and, for whatever reason, decided to incorporate that into my closer. Thinking it came out smoother, I apparently said something like, If you ever want a tour of the library where Dewey was from, give me a call, as I wrote my cell phone number on the back of my business card. She texted me the next day and I called her that night. Obviously, the conversation progressed past books and library cats. Speaking of which, I never did give her a tour of the Spencer Public Library. But, she has given me numerous tours of this area that we are now calling home together. Its been an eventful 27 months since we met and an even busier eight months since I proposed. Hopefully, my head stops spinning just enough for me to get some sleep over the next few days, put together a paper and prepare the next one for when Im on the honeymoon. Thankfully, I have great coworkers who will keep the ship going in the right direction when Im not at the helm. In a completely unrelated note, Ive been pleased to see an increased public dialogue on this page. There will never be a day when everyone agrees thankfully but putting the conversation out in the open is a great way to work through differences and, hopefully, come up with some sort of solution. At the very least, public dialogue is a sign of a healthy community especially if it is respectful dialogue, so please keep that in mind. I do want to note that I received a letter a while back signed by a Maple Lake taxpayer. Had it been signed by name, I would have gladly published it. I still will if the writer comes forward. I apologize for not mentioning that sooner. With all that said, I hope everyone finishes October strong. Hopefully, youll see me back in this space for the Oct. 30 paper. (That is if I can pry myself from the beaches of Riviera Maya, Mexico.)
Lights or markings on horse-drawn buggies

Question: I met what I believe was an Amish horse and buggy traveling down the highway in the dark the other night. It did not appear to have any lights or markings. Is this safe or legal? Answer: Minnesota State Statute 169.522 requires an illuminated or fluorescent red-orange triangle to be displayed on all animal-drawn vehicles operated on designated roadways. This statute allows a person who objects to the display of the red-orange triangle to apply for a permit for an alternate emblem; however, he or she is still required to display the redorange triangle between sunset and

sunrise. Several members of Minnesotas Amish community object to these requirements based on their religious beliefs. Instead of the emblems, many use the white reflective tape and lighted red lanterns. Members of the Amish community challenged citations issued as a result of the noncompliance based on the case State v. Hershberger, 462 N.W.2d393 (Minn. 1990), which was eventually heard by the Minnesota Supreme Court. The Court ruled in favor of the Amish appellants.

Its in your court: October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Every day in every district court in Minnesota, judges hear cases involving domestic violence. It could be a hearing for an order for protection against a spouse or significant other, or a criminal charge of domestic assault, or even a juvenile delinquency petition against a minor for assaulting a household member. Domestic violence touches thousands of homes in

She, too, said that it could be Oct. 29 before a technician is available to fix the problems in the rural areas. Thats when we hope to have everything re-established, she said. We are working on it. Some customers have been able to get access. It is something that is currently being taken care of. Its a matter of time for our technicians to re-establish those lines. Several people turned to Facebook to voice their frustrations, with about 3,300 people viewing a Messenger post about the topic, which garnered more than 30 comments and nearly as many shares.

Ive been through the business with a dish on my roof and I dont even want to think about Internet through a dish. He said his next step would be to contact the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and local legislators to put pressure on Windstream to make changes. This is costing us a lot of money, he said. Its costing our customers grief. Its rippling through the system and Im not the only one. His neighbors on Facebook made that clear. Melissa Muehring Paulson said she was told her Internet service wouldnt be up until Oct. 24, at the earliest. Also, they told me that if you dont want to pay for this service while its out, you have to call and make a claim, she said. Peter Gunnary said paying for a service that isnt working is only part of the problem. How are businesses and students supposed to work? he asked. I sent a nice note with my payment last month saying, I cant earn money to pay you if I cant send proposals or invoices. I started sending them by snail mail because its faster than waiting for service. Bette Nelson echoed that sentiment. It is impossible to run a business via the network as you never know when it will go out, she said. As for local businesses and organizations, City Attorney Rhonda Pagel said she was without service on Monday, as was the Maple Lake Library. Service to three of the librarys computers was restored, but two other computers were still unable to access the Internet. The Messenger will continue to monitor the situation as more information becomes available.
Respondents can also offer their contact information in order for a library representative to talk to them further about questions or comments, sign up to be a volunteer or to be notified of various library events. The board hopes to get feedback from people who do not currently use the library, so it can tailor plans to attract more people. We know a ton of people in the community dont use the library, Pagel said. Why? What are they looking for that we dont have here? Perhaps the answer is e-books, which are available in the Great River Regional System, though there is often a wait for the most The change deals with the incorporation of e-cigarettes in the definition of tobacco products, Asleson said. We have received inquiries from people who want to sell e-cigarettes only and not tobacco products, so we have a new area of our ordinance that hadnt been addressed before. The board was informed that information about the long-term impact of e-cigarettes hasnt been done yet and the Food and Drug Administration doesnt regulate the sale of e-cigarettes, so there are unanswered questions. Commissioner Charlie Borrell asked why the county should be making such a decision when the state mandates laws concerning e-cigarettes. In 2010, the state passed legislation making it illegal to sell e-cigarettes to minors, but Borrell believes the e-cigarette could be an alternative for those looking to quit smoking. Where is it going to stop? Borrell asked. Are we going to start making rules about nicotine gum next? Is this a problem? I think were putting the cart before
Library survey
tech worked with us to reconnect network settings; something about the IP not being recognized, she said. Whatever it was, he got it working for us! Hallelujah! Lois Holmberg Carlson said she was able to get the situation resolved, but not without cost. (DSL is) finally up today after being on the phone for almost two hours, calling Windstream and then calling Cisco, who my router is through, to reset everything, she said. On top of the time I spent on this issue, I had to pay a $30 service charge so my router company could reset passwords. She added that, if outage problems reoccur, she might have to look for other options. But Wolseth, who uses the Internet for his business, said he does not have another viable option in his area. Charter wont come out here, Wolseth said. Thats a problem with the legislature, he hypothesized. They

popular items. Individuals will have an opportunity to tell the board what they would like to see more of, along with other changes the library should make. One suggestion may be more, or different, hours of operation. We know some people who have commented that theyre only available on Tuesday or Thursday, Pagel said. For example, I pick up my kids at daycare at 6 p.m., so I cant go to the library then. If a lot of people say theyd come in on Tuesdays, maybe we should add it and see how it goes. Since the librarys inception, the board has wanted to offer the horse on this. Board Chairman Pat Sawatzke had his own opposition to the proposed ordinance changes, saying that e-cigarettes could be a smoking cessation tool and, as such, should be applauded, not regulated. In the end, the board voted 3-2 in favor of amending the ordinance, with Borrell and Sawatzke voting against it. The board also instructed County Coordinator Lee Kelly to draft a proposed change to county policy that would address the use of e-cigarettes on county property. In other business, the board: Approved a transfer of $1 million from the countys reserve fund to the capital projects technology fund. There are numerous upgrades needed in the countys technological framework that require attention and it was felt that the money should be taken from the reserves in the general fund rather than make the costs part of the countys taxable levy. Laid over for one week bids
meeting rooms, but space is lacking in the current facility. Thats something the board has discussed and continues to explore, Pagel said. Anyone involved with the library knows we need more space. Its possible the community will say we dont need it. When the library started, one goal was to provide meeting space, but we havent been able to accomplish that. If we have the opportunity to move into a space, we want a survey to help tell us how to use that space. The board is pleased with increased support both within and outside the community. Both the annual fundraiser and upcoming Barnes & Noble fundraiser have received for the cleanup of County Ditch 10. The three bids all came in over the estimate of $115,000, with the low bid coming from Blackstone Contractors, of Corcoran, at $148,484. Approved hiring appraiser Clay Dodd to perform appraisal work for the county in a potential court case coming with J&B RE Inc. in the City of St. Michael. The company has filed a tax court petition disputing the countys appraised value of its property. The appeal covers the 2011 and 2012 tax assessments. The county claims the property is worth $13 million, while the company claims the property is worth roughly half that amount. Referred to the personnel committee a request to add a fulltime employee in the veterans services office. Approved the parks department fee schedule for 2014. Most of the fees remained the same, but there were minor increases to the cost of campsites at Collinwood/Schroeder Park.
been successful. In addition, Wright County has granted $12,500 to the library, along with $5,000 from the city, $3,000 in other grants and $1,500 from area townships. Regardless of the survey results, the board is thankful for the support. The board also hopes more volunteers will step up to make the librarys dreams a reality. Were always looking for people to help in any way possible serving on committees or volunteering as much or as little time as they can theres always something for them to do, Pagel said. Maybe its something as simple as filling out a survey. Authorized signatures on a resolution of support for a request being made by Stockholm Township to access grant funds from the states Township Road Fund for improvements to Rhodes Avenue along the entrance to Collinwood Park. Rescheduled the building committee meeting scheduled for Oct. 9 to Oct. 23. Authorized board attendance at the 120th Annual Minnesota Transportation Alliance annual meeting Thursday, Nov. 7, in St. Cloud. Scheduled a committee of the whole meeting for 10:30 a.m. following the Nov. 12 board meeting to discuss elected department head salaries for 2014.

true for fish. The DNR has an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Health to dispose of meat, such as pre-packaged fish fillets, because it is often hard to tell whether or not the packaging was done properly. In some cases, the animal or bird, or parts of the animal, such as deer antlers, are turned over to schools and other educational institutions for study.

Cold Weather Rule begins

Low-income Minnesotans who may have trouble paying their heating bills this heating season can act now to (1) ensure that their heat stays on and (2) apply for help to pay their heating bills. The Cold Weather Rule protection takes effect on October 15 and protects residential utility customers from having their heat shut off through April 15, 2014. To prevent heating disconnection, customers must contact their utility to set up a monthly payment plan. Households that need to reconnect their heat for this winter should call their utility company now to take advantage of these payment options. The Cold Weather Rule is administered by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. More information on the rule is available at the PUC website, or you can call 651-296-7124 or 800-657-3782. The Energy Assistance Program helps pay home heating costs. Minnesota offers the LowIncome Home Energy Assistance Program, known as the Energy Assistance Program (EAP).

School staff wear orange for Unity Day
School
Staff from Maple Lake High School (above, left) and Maple Lake Elementary (above, right) wore orange shirts as part of Unity Day on Oct. 9. October is National Bullying Prevention Month and the day was sponsored by PACERs National Bullying Prevention Center. In the high school, the Friends of Rachel Club promoted the day by making orange paper ribbons that read UNITE on them, the students then put them up around school and, on Wednesday, gave them to students to wear or put on their lockers. Students also watched a short clip on Bullying during first hour and had a discussion about what bullying looks like in MLHS and what more can be done about it. Students then were given a paper shape to write words, phrases or ideas about kindness. The shapes were then put up around the student silhouette posters that are in the commons. All students and staff were encouraged to wear orange to take a stand to make positive change and create an atmosphere of kindness. Participating MLHS staff included (front) Steve Kosloski, Andy Boman, Brad Baumann, Leah Davis, Celeste Dahlstrom, (second row) Nichole Rengel, Naomi Durst, Heidi (Knott) Noerenberg, Renee Ruff, Tana Fobbe, Jeanne Omvig, (third row) Principal Dave Hansen, Dawn Klabunde, Mary Beth Barder, Sue Bjorstrom, Sue Nelson, Jean Elsenpeter, Colleen Carlson, Rachel Dale, Karla Mavencamp, Louie Manuel, (Back) Nathan Mitchell, Eric Meyer, Casey Pack, Nathan Rengel, Jeff Kubian, Mark Redemske and Karen Carey.

MLFD promotes fire prevention with kids
The Maple Lake Fire Department was busy throughout Fire Prevention Week, hosting all kindergarten students at the Maple Lake Fire Station. Firemen John Peterson and Scott Carriveau also visited grades one, two and three at St. Timothys School to talk about fire safety and what firemen and rescue personnel do when they come upon a variety of fire situations and accidents. Those students were able to see how the equipment is used and were allowed to see the inside of the fire truck and rescue vehicle. (Photos submitted)

Volleyball team has solid week, wins tournament

The Maple Lake Irish volleyball team capped off an impressive week, as they won the Benilde-St. Margaret Tournament. While a full story is not available, see the stats and coverage of the wins that led up to the tournament below. Thursday, Oct. 8, the Irish hosted the Sartell-St. Stephen Sabres. The teams played an intense match that ended in an Irish win. Maple Lake strives to have strong serves and prides themselves on the ability to pass tough serves. They did just that in game one. Using that to their advantage they won 25-21. The Irish played aggressively and were able to make many plays against the Sabres. When Maple Lake could control the serve, they were able to score multiple points at a time; however, the Irish serving in game two was inconsistent. The inconsistency allowed the Sabres to score the points needed to win 25-22. The loss put the momentum on the other side of the court. Maple Lakes serving remained unsteady and Sartell-St. Stephen continued to come back with tough plays. Toward the end of the set, Maple Lake lacked communication resulting in a 25-16 loss. To start game four, the Irish knew they must adjust their serving if they wanted to win. With motivation from a loud and supportive crowd, Maple Lake fought back with not only consistent but also aggressive serving. This was a struggle for the Sabres. They could not control the serves enough to make strong plays and the Irish kept playing strong, winning 25-20. This brought the match into game five. Winning the previous game, the Irish had won back the momentum. The Sabres were feeling down and began to have trouble communicating what the Irish

Irish runners finish season strong on unfamiliar course

Racing in lane five, the Irish cross country team competed at the Albany invitational on Oct. 8. Running on an unfamiliar course didnt stop the Irish from racing hard and finishing strong. The girls varsity team huddled and prepared themselves for the race. They stuck to their game plan and steadily ran the course, despite never running it before. They went out just like always, competitively but also having fun. Halle Geyen finished the race first for Maple Lake, and fifth overall, with a time of 16:40.

were doing. Maple Lake used this to their advantage and won the last set 15-11, also winning the match. "It was my first game back from my injury and it was really great to be back on the court. Winning as a team only made the game more exciting," senior Anna Treptau said. After a tough match on Tuesday, the Irish were prepared to play another strong game against the Holdingford Huskers. They traveled there Thursday, Oct. 10, and returned with another win on their record. Starting the game with a 25-18 win in the first set, the Irish played with much skill. The Huskers did not play aggressively and that allowed the Irish to play the ball back with accuracy. The consistent attacking at the net made the Holdingford defense work hard during every play. They struggled to control the ball leading to an Irish win. The Huskers were inconsistent and this made it hard for the Irish to adjust their defense to match their opponents offense. The Irish continued to play a steady game but, with their defense on edge, they lost 25-19 in game two. Game three the Irish were prepared for everything and persevered to do their best. They adjusted their defense and, with Holdingford continuing to play a simple game, Maple Lake stayed aggressive. Working together, the team won 25-12. "The team played really well together, junior Taylor Pilger said. We communicated about everything and this made it easy to make the tough plays we needed to make to win."
Playing consistently and communicating well, the team won the final game 25-19. The team played an excellent match and really showed the talent and determination they have to win.

Irish cant slow No. 2 Holdingford, lose 46-0

What started out as a mismatch turned into a blowout Friday night, as the Maple Lake Irish traveled to take on the No. 2 Holdingford Huskers. We knew it was going to be tough, coach Tim Knudsen said. There were some mismatches up front. Initially, despite the mismatches, the Irish were able to move the ball, even with the wind in their face. Unfortunately for the visitors, their drive was stuffed on the 30-yard line and they turned the ball over on downs.
Next up, the boys varsity focused on their races. The Irish were warmed up and prepared to accomplish their goals throughout the race. Coming across the finish line first for Maple Lake in 19:05.07 was Andrew Schonessen, placing 28th. Finishing back-to-back-toback were Devin Deringer (30th, 19:05.65), Jackson Willard (31st, 19:13.4) and Cullen Gallagher (32nd, 19:13.72). Ross Hickey placed 41st in 19:36 and in 47th came Adam Ruhland, with a time of 20:12. Overall the boys placed 7th with a team score of 146. The Albany Invitational had us running tired, coach Ben Youngs said. It was a tough course with hills and lots of turns. We didn't have great times but it was a great tune-up for the CMC meet next Tuesday. I think we are ready for the big meet. With the regular season completed, everything theyve worked for will come down to these last few very important meets and the team is ready to succeed.
Adam Ruhland takes 47th overall and rounds out the boys top five, with a time of 20:12.
On Holdingfords second play, quarterback Mitch Messman took it to the house for a 7-0 lead. It kind of spiraled down from there, Knudsen said. Both the running and the passing game were ineffective, forcing the visitors to punt, which allowed the home team to score for a 14-0 lead with 3 minutes left in the first quarter. The Irish were once again held in their own territory. We were forced to punt again, Knudsen said. We had a low snap and got the ball, Charlie (Stejskal) took two steps and kicked it. At the same time, he

was crushed. There was no flag. The kick went five yards. Though Knudsen argued for a flag, he said they were hard to come by for the home team all night, with just two penalties, compared to 12 for the Irish. Instead of the Irish keeping the ball on a penalty, Holdingford took advantage of the short field for a 20-0 lead. We gave them two short fields, Knudsen said. We cant afford to do that with teams like that. With the wind at their back, the green and black had a little more success throwing the ball,

but the drive still ended with a punt. After a successful onside kick, the Huskers kept it on the ground and scored again for a 260 halftime advantage. Rain and lightning moved into the area during intermission to delay the game more than an hour. While the Huskers were indoors, the Irish were left outside though the second half did not begin until after 9 p.m. The third quarter remained uneventful for the Irish offense. Holdingford, however, pushed the

child together; Parent/child relationship; Related by blood; Significant romantic or sexual relationship. The judge may issue an emergency order against the Respondent without any prior notice, which order can include the following if there is the imminent danger of further domestic violence to the victim: no contact with Petitioner; no contact with child(ren) of the parties or in Petitioners care; exclusion from Petitioners residence and place of work; child support; possession of personal property, such as vehicles; child visitation, with or without restrictions; visitation may be ordered at a Supervised Visitation Center if the children are the victims of abuse; Respondent to attend domestic abuse counseling; temporary custody of children may be granted to Petitioner. The Respondent is then personally served with the Order and Petition by a deputy sheriff. A hearing is either held within 7 days, or the Respondent may request a hearing if none is initially ordered. Pending a hearing the Respondent is generally ordered to have no contact of any kind with the Petitioner, including phone, email or text message communications. If domestic violence has occurred against a child, the court will appoint a guardian ad litem to advocate for the child and advise the court as to what is in the best interests of the child. At the hearing the Respondent may (a) admit the facts alleged by Petitioner; or (b) agree to a restraining order without any findings of fact that domestic abuse occurred; or (c) deny the allegations and have a hearing. If the matter is contested, witnesses give sworn testimony and the judge decides if the Petitioner has proven that domestic abuse has occurred. Domestic abuse is defined by statute as: (a) physical harm, bodily injury or assault; or (b) infliction of fear of imminent physical harm, bodily injury or assault; or (c) terroristic threat, or criminal sexual conduct; or (d) interference with emergency (911) call. If domestic abuse is not proven, the Petition is dismissed. If the Petitioner proves domestic abuse, then an Order for Protection is issued which may include the relief indicated above (1-9), as well as, paying child care costs and medical insurance costs; monetary support for Petitioner; monetary damages to the Petitioner as a result of the domestic violence; alcohol/chemical abuse counseling; prohibiting possession of a firearm by Respondent is a mandatory federal law. Without evidence of one of the
above elements (physical harm, etc.), the Court cannot conclude there has been domestic abuse by the Respondent. It is insufficient for the Petitioner to just prove bad parenting or poor judgment. The Order for Protection (OFP) may be issued for a period of up to 2 years. Either party may make a motion to modify the order while it is in effect. A frequent occurrence of great concern to the court is that Petitioners often come back shortly after the OFP is issued and request dismissal, sometimes stating they were forced to file the petition by a family member or friend, or that everything is fine now and Respondent promises to go to treatment. Sometimes judges will not grant the dismissal of the OFP unless the Petitioner provides sworn testimony as to why the Respondent is no longer a danger to the Petitioner or the children. Judges frequently encourage victims to meet with domestic violence counselors before the OFPs are dismissed. Domestic violence continues to be a major public health problem in our communities. Children are being raised in homes where parents are using chemicals to excess, arguing all the time, and sometimes resorting to physical violence in the presence of their children. This creates a circle of violence in which children grow up to be abusers or victims because that is what they grew up with in their family. Domestic violence is a pervasive problem with which we should all be concerned.

Streetcars keep coming up as a need in the Big Cities, but those in favor of them never drove from Lowry to 26th Avenue North with their wheels stuck in streetcar track ice as I once did. Millions of dollars are planned for things of no use to us out here by people we didn't elect and by whom we won't be consulted. I just spent $3.30 a gallon for gas because my dashboard said it needed it, although it was a dime more than I would spend fifteen miles away from here, but it would cost me $1.75 to drive there, and as I said, they're working on my vehicle so I couldn't go even if I wanted to, which would be dumb. Shortly I will go get my vehicle. I'm told I may need a synthetic
lubricant for my transmission, which costs about the same as Seagram's Seven Crown, but lubricates better. Nobody wants to drive a drunk Buick. Well, now I finished my cold coffee. Maybe that Seagram's transmission is done and I can go home in the rain in time for the news. Possibly the train and streetcar people have discovered buses, football people have abandoned their plans, music has started, and the price of gas has gone down. Possibly pigs can fly. P.S. It turned out that the transmission takes Miller Light instead of Seagram's, saving me about thirty bucks. It quit drizzling. There may be hope. Don't hold your breath.

score up to 40-0 in the quarter and unsuccessfully attempted a twopoint conversion to stretch the lead further. With the Irish playing much of their second string for most of the second half, Holdingford finally followed suit halfway through the fourth quarter and scored their final touchdown shortly thereafter to put the score at 46-0. Hunter Malachek and Austin Becker finally got the Irish on the board, as Malachek broke a 76yard run and Becker scored from two yards out. Despite the loss, Knudsen was proud of his young players, who were given more playing time. The young guys battled, Knudsen said. They knew they were overmatched, but kept going at them like Energizer bunnies. They did a decent job for us. They help their ground. Obviously, Holdingford was going to move the ball, but the young guys gave us a chance to rest some of the kids. Malacheks 76 yards led the Irish rushing attack, followed by Cal Redemske with 32 yards on nine carries, Nic Paumen with 30 yards on seven carries, Beckers 14 yards and touchdown on four carries, Landon Caugheys 13 yards on six carries, Trevor Borells five yards on one carry, Tony Goelzs two yards on three carries and Nick Gapinskis two yards on one carry.

Goelz completed half of his 12 throws for 55 yards and one interception. On the receiving end, Zach Johnson caught three balls for 43 yards. Caughey had a catch for eight yards, Borell caught one pass for four yards and Blake Welstead got one yard on one catch. No one on Maple Lakes defense recorded more than two solo tackles as the squad allowed 331 rushing yards on 58 attempts and 97 receiving yards on 6-10 passing. Nic Paumen and Dominic Kaley each had two tackles and one assist. Lucas Fobbe had six assists to go with one solo tackle and Damian Kaley had five assists. Other defensive contributors included Dusty Strub, Derek Reller and Landon Caughey (one tackle, two assists each); Trevor Paumen (one tackle, one assist); Borell and Gapinski (one assist each). The Irish conclude the regular season against Pierz on Wednesday and will begin playoffs the following Tuesday.
