The Maple Lake Lakers got

a league win before they took
home the trophy bat at the Highway 55 tournament this weekend, extending their win streak
to 11.
Cokato 2
Maple Lake12
The Lakers jumped on
Cokato early and often Tuesday
night en route to a seven-inning
victory. Maple Lake scored a
pair in the first to give starter
Brian Russell some room to
work. Russell took advantage
and pitched with confidence,
racking up eight strikeouts and
allowing only three hits and two
walks in six innings. Threatening to score throughout the
game, the Lakers scored two in
the fourth, three in the fifth, and
broke the game open with five
in the sixth. Brian Redemske led
the offensive attack, collecting
four RBIs, a double, and a
stolen base, while getting hit by
the pitch twice. Dusty Decker
finished off the last inning,
recording a strikeout, walk, and
no hits with an unearned run.

against Atwater on Thursday
night. Mitch Wurm got the start
and retired three Chuckers in a
row, setting a tone for what
would be a huge night on the
mound. The Laker offense
wasted little time as Graham
Brown drove in Luke Fobbe and
then Bert Marsnik hit a fly ball
to score Brown. Two runs was
all Wurm needed as he tore
through Atwater, notching 11
strikeouts against late two hits
and a walk. Throughout the
seven-inning game the Lakers
ran aggressively, stealing three
bases on four attempts.

The Lakers unleashed the
dogs of war on Starbuck early
Saturday afternoon to secure
their semi-final spot. Maple
Lake opened the game with five
runs in the first to give starter
Chad Raiche plenty of breathing
room. Raiche went four shutout
innings, giving up two hits, two
walks, and getting two strikeouts before Todd Fuller finished
the final inning. Graham Brown
was the only Laker with an
extra-base hit while zero Lakers
struck out.

Local teen recognized as leader

Ivan Ostlund-LaTour to attend leadership summit at Harvard
By Brenda Erdahl
Correspondent
Tiffany Grube will replace

Nicole Wilke as the Annandale/Maple Lake Community
Education director on July 1.
For the last nine years Grube
has worked as the preschoolschool age coordinator at Westonka Community Education.
Both Grube and her husband,
Josh, grew up in farms in Iowa
and are looking forward to living
in the Annandale/Maple Lake
area. Two of their three children,
Keagan, entering second grade,
and Grace, entering kindergarten, will attend Annandale
schools this fall, the baby of the
family, Margaret, is just one and
a few years away from school.
Im so excited, said Grube.
The schools are great. Im really looking forward to getting
there and working with the program and getting to know everyone. Everyones been so helpful
and welcoming. The school
mascot in Westonka is the White
Hawk and Annandales is the
Cardinal, so Im just trading
birds and adding a Maple Lake
Irish clover for good luck!
Thirteen-year-old
Ivan
Ostlund-LaTour has always
been a history buff, so when he
was invited to visit Harvard University as part of a People to
People Leadership Summit, he
jumped at the opportunity.
The Maple Lake eighth
grader was selected to attend the
summit because of his aptitude
for scholastic merit, leadership
potential and exemplary citizenship.
For Ostlund-LaTour, its a
chance to meet other highly-motivated students from around the
world, build leadership skills,
and see what life is like at one of
the oldest institutes of higher
learning in the United States.
Historically, Im fascinated
by the college, said OstlundLaTour who is looking forward
to actually sitting in on a Harvard class and touring the campus with Harvard students.
During his seven-day stay in
Cambridge, MA, hell also have
the opportunity to learn about effective leadership, how to develop his own leadership
abilities, and how to apply those
skills upon returning home.
Hell participate in hands-on
activities such as the Seven
Habits of Highly Effective Teens
workshop, have diverse discussions with other students chal-
lenging global perspectives,

learn how to stand out for college admissions, participate in
small-group workshops and listen to relevant professional
speakers.
In years past participants
have heard from the likes of
journalist and author Katie
Couric, General Collin Powell
and NFL champs Eli and Peyton
Manning.
There will also be a day dedicated to history buffs like
Ostlund-LaTour when they will
tour the historic Kennedy Library and walk the Freedom
Trail.
Ostlund-LaTour was nominated for the program by Maple
Lake teacher Vicki Decker with
a recommendation by his sixth
grade math and homeroom
teacher Steve Fuchs who called
him a mature young man that
always does his best, is willing to help out his peers when
they need it, and leads by example.
I was stunned, shocked,
said Ostlund-LaTour about his
nomination. I didnt know anything about it.
According to his mom, Kimberly, the family had no warning
that he was even being considered for the program.
We got a letter in the mail,
so I called the school and asked
what this was all about, she
said.
Once the school explained
the program, the family had to
decide if their then sixth grader
was ready to travel alone. The
fact that the actual trip wouldnt
happen until the summer before
his eighth grade year was some
consolation.
Now the time has come, and
the 13-year-old is preparing to
fly out to Cambridge on Tuesday, June 30.
What I am most excited
about is meeting other students
who share an interest in becoming a leader, listening to professional speakers and how they
achieved their own success, and
the overall experience of college
life on an actual campus,
Ostlund-LaTour said.
Besides his interest in history,
the 13-year old also enjoys discussing politics, and he has a desire to take action and influence
friends and family in a positive
manner, he said.
People to People Leadership
Summits are held in prestigious
venues around the country depending on students interests,
whether that be art, business,
service, health care or leadership. More than 80 percent of
the students who attend are able
to gain acceptance to their firstchoice college.
The People to People program was founded by Dwight E.
Ivan Ostlund-LaTours bedroom attests to his love of history. Its no wonder he jumped at the chance to visit the
historical Harvard University as a People to People Leadership Summit nominee. Ostlund-LaTour, an eighth
grader at Maple Lake, will leave for Cambridge, MA on

young people build leadership
skills, study for a future career
and make lifelong friendships

Im looking forward to just
the experience of being there,
and experiencing it all by myself
as well, he said.

The 800th Anniversary of
Magna Carta
This year marks the 800th
anniversary of the document
known as Magna Carta. And
with that, some of you are already asleep. Ill admit it, during law school when a professor
started talking about anything
from old (or is that olde) English history, my eyes rolled back
in my head. I figured my AngloIrish ancestors left that part of
the world so I didnt have to
worry about such things.
But there is no denying the
continuing importance of
Magna Carta (technically, there
is no the in front of the name).
In 1215, English King John had
placed significant financial burdens on his landowning barons
to pay for wars throughout his
empire. As the threat of rebellion grew, the barons forced
John to sign a 63-chapter document, mostly addressing the
barons grievances against the

crown. Two of those chapters,

however, established certain
rights for the individual barons
and freemen, such as freedom of
religion, the right to trial, and
due process of law. Sound familiar?
As a peace treaty, the document failed miserably. Neither
party followed it, King John got
the document annulled by the
Pope a few weeks later, and the
First Barons War began within
months. Still, the ideas embodied in the document kept resurfacing over the next several
hundred years. Many of the
charters establishing the American colonies also mirrored some
of Magna Cartas provisions,
and the document was printed
on American soil as early as
1687, a full century before our
own Constitution was drafted.
Depending upon which historians you believe, Magna
Carta was a foundational document for either the rights estab-
I was de-lighted to see three offsprings from a pair of Trumpeter

Swans on a pond off County Road 8 acrosss from the Silver Creek
Twp. Hall. The trumpeter is the largest of the waterfowl in the United
States and has made a remarkable comeback from near extinction
in the 20th century. This photo is a reproduction taken off the internet. The young swans off County Road 8 arent nearly as large, but
present a striking appearance on that pond. The wing spawn of adults
measures up to 7-8 feet and they weigh up to 30 pounds. They have
a life span of up to 30 years.

Im getting some mixed reports of people seeing pheasants and
they should be showing up with their chicks soon. Actually its better
if we dont see them for awhile until they get larger and better able
to take care of themselves. It wasnt unusual to find a pheasant nesting in the alfalfa hay fields when it was time to make hay back in
the late 40s and 50s. It wasnt the most safe place for them and
their reluctance to leave the nest when they heard the clatter of the
mowers sickle sometimes was fatal for the hen. My dad would
gather up the eggs and bring them home and put them under a cluck
hen in a hut away from the chickens. Us kids would keep tabs on
the hatch which most of the time worked.
lished through the common law

or the embodiment of natural
rights that a government cannot take from its citizens. Both
of those theories remain a part
of our American system of justice today. Forty-nine of our
fifty states (Louisiana being a
partial exception) have legal
systems based upon British
common law, meaning that
court decisions create precedent
for future cases. And the idea of
natural rights was the foundation behind the certain unalienable rights referenced near the
beginning of our Declaration of
Independence. Although considerable myths about the document have built up over the
centuries, it still remains an important part of our legal systems history.
The idea that a written document should define the relationship between a government and
citizens was novel at the time
Magna Carta was signed. There
are still significant parallels between Magna Carta and our
Constitution. A recent article by
William Mitchell law professor
Michael Steenson points out
two sections of the Minnesota
state constitution with a basis in
provisions contained within
Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: Ive noticed there
appears to be two light
bulbs/lamps near the rear license
plate. Is it required to have both
lights on your license plate working or is it alright if only one light
is working? Is it illegal if your
license plate light or lights are
out?
Answer: Most new vehicles
are equipped with two rear license plate lamps. Some older
models have only one. Minnesota State Statute 169.50 Subd.
2 says; Either such rear lamp or
separate lamp shall be so constructed and placed as to illuminate with a white light the rear
registration plate and render it
legible from a distance of 50 feet
to the rear. Any rear lamp or rear
lamps, together with any separate
lamp for illuminating the rear
registration plate, shall be so
wired as to be lighted whenever
the headlamps or auxiliary driving lamps are lighted.
A reminder that all license
plates must be:
(1) Securely fastened to prevent them from swinging.
(2) Displayed horizontally

with the identifying numbers and
letters facing outward from the
vehicle.
(3) Mounted in the upright
position. The person driving the
motor vehicle shall keep the plate
legible, unobstructed, and free
from grease, dust, or other blurring material so that the lettering
is plainly visible at all times. It is
unlawful to cover any assigned
letters, numbers or the name of
the state of origin of a license
plate with any material. That includes any clear or colorless material that affects the plate's
visibility or reflectivity.
A portion of state statutes was
used with permission from the
Office of the Revisor of Statutes.

me a hint on where the sunfish are hanging out. He said fishing off
his dock has been productive so that could be my next move as this

when Im over the possession limit. .

At its most recent meeting,

Monday, June 8, the Maple Lake
School Board approved purchasing up to two Practical Assessment Exploration System
(PAES) lab units, provided reimbursement is approved by the
Minnesota Department of Education (MDE).
The board heard last month
from special education teachers
about the advantages of beginning Maple Lakes own lab at
the high school. Maple Lakes
special-education students currently have access to a PAES lab
at the Wright Tech Center in
Buffalo, which helps to facilitate
and explore different job opportunities, options and skills by
providing a simulated work environment. A complete PAES
package consists of five components, and the teachers have proposed to begin with two units
consumer/service and construction/industrial with a plan to
eventually add on to the program.
The cost will be about
$14,500, with about $6,800 to be
covered by aid from the state if
the purchase is approved by
to send one student to the Wright

County Tech Center is $5,630
per year. As current staff members are trained in the program,
no new hires are necessary for its
implementation. And while
Wright County Tech Center accommodates only juniors and
seniors, a Maple Lake-based lab
can also serve ninth- and tenthgraders.
At the May meeting, Board
Chair Arnie Michalicek had expressed reservations over competing with the Wright County
Tech Center Cooperative, of
which the Maple Lake School
District is a member. However,
over the following weeks, High
School Principal Dave Hansen
and a few of the districts special
education teachers met with
Meeker and Wright Special Education
Cooperative
(MAWSECO) administration to
discuss options. District Superintendent Mark Redemske also
spoke with Ray Przekurat at the
Wright County Tech Center and
contacted staff from the CrosbyIronton School District, which
recently started a PAES lab in its
high school, to gain insight on
its own lab, Redemske maintained, it can be used by students

of varying ages, more of Maple
Lakes students will have access
to it, travel time will be eliminated and there will be greater
flexibility in scheduling students
into the labs.
Regarding other matters on
the evenings agenda, the board:
Approved a ten-cent increase to school meal prices and
a five-cent increase for milk in
the 2015-2016 school year. The
extra entre price will remain
unchanged at two dollars. New
prices are as follows: kindergarten breakfast free; grades 112 breakfast $1.50; elementary
school lunch $2.35; high
school lunch $2.55; adult lunch
$3.55; milk $.45.
Discussed the pros and cons
of continuing second- and thirdgrade combination classes,
which were instituted to keep
class sizes lower. Instruction involves whole-class presentations, flexible groupings and
independent work. Board member Rick Thomas shared parent
feedback recommending combined classes of even smaller
to learn how many might be interested in participating. Elementary School Principal Kris
Harlan expressed concerns about
teachers having to travel between two hallways next year.
She told the board she is watching enrollment numbers and has
notified parents that a decision
regarding the programs continuation will be made before the
schools August newsletter is
mailed out. Many options are on
the table, she said, and while reluctant to call herself a cheerleader for combined classes,
she noted that Tanya Malwitzs
2-3 class was the only class from
either grade in which 100 percent of the students met or exceeded expectations in all areas
of testing. Boardmember Joe
Paumen said hed heard from
many parents who consider the
program a failure, and suggested
that the only other option for
keeping class sizes small would
be to raise taxes. Redemske said
it might also be possible to move
a few teachers from the high
school to the elementary school.

Board divided on forensics lab ultimatum

by John Holler
Correspondent
For the better part of the last

two months, the Wright County
Board of Commissioners has discussed the possibility of pulling
out of the Tri-County Forensics
Laboratory that it funds along
with Anoka and Sherburne counties, with a date of June 23 being
thrown out as a date when Wright
County would approve a letter
claiming its intent to leave the
collaborative.
Following the June 9 meeting
of the board, it appears as though
there may be some cracks in the
armor, as at least two commissioners Christine Husom and
Mark Daleiden said they arent
sure they will vote in favor of announcing its intent to pull out of
the group.
At the June 9 board meeting,
a letter was received from Sherburne County Administrator
Steve Taylor, who laid out Sherburne Countys position four
bullet points that were shot down
individually by Commissioner
Pat Sawatzke, who has been frustrated with the funding formula
since the cooperative began in
2008. The funding has been
based on population and usage.
Given the usage Wright County
has done, Sawatzke believes
Wright County has been overcharged by approximately 15
percent for the amount of use it
gets from the facility.

Sawatzke has led the charge to
force the other two counties to
come to the table to discuss
changing the funding formula to
make it more equitable, and said
every county budgets for the following year not knowing the
exact costs that will be incurred
over that budget year and the TriCounty Lab should be no different. He has proposed sending a
letter to Anoka and Sherburne
counties to give notice that
Wright County may leave the lab
if the funding policy isnt
changed. He also stated he has
mis-spoken over the last few
weeks saying that the joint powers agreement in place has a 90day, opt-out clause, when in fact
it is 180 days. He said the extended out-clause period gives
the counties more time to reach
an amicable agreement, but approving the letter intent may not
be as simple as it might seem.
Husom, who worked with the
sheriffs department prior to becoming a county commissioner,
said that she isnt sure how she
will vote on the proposed letter of
intent.
My biggest problem is that
the Tri-County lab has done a
great job for us, Husom said.
Sheriff (Joe) Hagerty has been
extremely pleased with the work
done there as opposed to the time
it took to get evidence back from
the lab from the BCA (Bureau of

Criminal Apprehension). I know
the funding formula isnt fair to
Wright County, but I think were
getting better service from the
Tri-County than we would from
the BCA. Im not sure how Ill
vote or whether I will abstain
from the vote, because I think our
situation is better now than it was
before we joined Tri-County.
Daleiden echoed that sentiment, saying that he agrees that
the funding formula isnt equitable, but doesnt know if making
threats is the path to follow.
I wont be voting in favor of
it, Daleiden said. I dont think
its the right way of going about
trying to get change. I think the
best way of trying to get this resolved is to have the commissioners from the three counties
get together in the same room, let
them hear our concerns and document them as to why we feel the
funding formula should change
and try to get it resolved that
way.
As things currently stand, the
letter of intent to leave is expected to be placed on the June
23 agenda. Whether it passes or
not remains unclear, but it does
appear certain that there wont be
a unanimous vote either way.
In other items on the June 9
agenda, the board:
* Referred discussion of the
sheriffs department contract rate
to the ways and means committee. Most cities in Wright County

contract for deputy hours and the
county tries to set an hourly contract rate that covers its expenses
and, as costs go up, when the
county issues its two-year contracts to cities, the hourly rate
tends to increase slightly every
two years.
* Finalized a time and date for
a tour of the Tri-County lab for 2
p.m. Wednesday, July 1. The
board has already set a tour of the
BCA lab for 9 a.m. Monday, June
22.
* Awarded the bids for the
first bid package for the construction project at the highway department. The first set of bids
totaled $4.1 million, almost $1
million less than the initial estimates. Alternates were removed
from the initial proposals and the
money saved from that will be
used to fund an impound lot that
is being built adjacent to the new
construction area. The second bid
package opening is set for July 1.
* Approved 2015 maintenance agreements between the
county highway department and
six cities that contract with the
county for winter plowing and
road maintenance Delano, Elk
River, Maple Lake, Monticello,
Montrose and Waverly.

Margaret

2015. She
lived a long and happy life surrounded by family and friends.
Services for Margaret will

Margaret had many interests. She loved to play bridge

Her favorite hobbies were gardening, watching birds, reading, and listening to music from
the big band era. She loved the
companionship of her favorite
dog, Bogart. Margaret enjoyed
traveling and her last trip was in
2013 to visit family and friends

during
Langdon,
North
Dakotas 125th Celebration.
Margaret was born on April
11, 1927, in Langdon, North
Dakota, to Charles and
Genevieve Irene (Dettler) Fox.
Margaret was very proud of her
Grandfather E.J. Fox who was
one of the first settlers in Langdon. He was a teacher, a county
school superintendent and was
active in developing the town.
He died suddenly in 1941 and
her mother would marry
Leonard Urlaub in 1945. Margaret graduated from St.
Alphonsus High School in 1944
and continued her education at
St. Catherines College in St.

Dakota. Their residence was in

Richfield, Minnesota until 1971
when they moved to Ely, Minnesota. Margaret went back to
nursing in the 1960s and
worked at Southdale Fairview
Hospital before moving to Ely.
Jack and Margaret built a home
in Green Valley, Arizona, where
they spent their winters. They
enjoyed 49 wonderful years together. After Jacks death, Margaret renewed a friendship with
Larry Panek from Watertown,
South Dakota. He brought her
many years of joy and happiness.
Margaret was preceded in
death by her parents; her husband, Jack Garske; her sister,
Kathleen Schenk; her stepbrother, Stanley Urlaub; and
her friend, Larry Panek. She is
survived by her three daughters,

Stacy King, Michael Schweim,
and Kailee Cullen; and her
three

and Piper King.
A special thank you to the
staff of Annandale Care Center
for the wonderful care they
gave to Margaret and the comfort they gave to the family during her stay there. We also
would like to thank North Memorial Hospice for the additional care services they
provided Margaret and the family in her final weeks.

How to make Father's Day more enjoyable for Dad

Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the
year. Come mid-June, children
near and far scramble for ideas to
treat their fathers to a special day
and award him with gifts for
being a role model, provider and
confidante. Father's Day activities should be centered around
Dad's interests. With that in mind,
the following are some ideas to
honor Dad or another special
man in your life.
Sports Sunday: If Dad is a
sports fan, his idea of spending a
fun-filled afternoon very well
may be cheering on his favorite
players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer,
or another sport like hunting or

fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can
watch together. Otherwise, you
can surprise Dad by purchasing
tickets to a sporting event and
making a day of it at the ballpark.
Beach bound: A relaxing
day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father's Day.
Dad can enjoy the entire family
while sitting back in his beach
chair and watching the waves roll
in. Pack a picnic lunch with his
favorite foods and a cold beer,
and Dad may just say this was his
best celebration yet.
Adventure seeker: If yours
is a father who enjoys living on
the edge, a Father's Day activity

built around action and adventure
should be a winner. Take Dad
base jumping, rock climbing,
scuba diving, or race car driving.
Any of these activities is bound
to get Dad's adrenaline pumping.
R&R: Dad's idea of the perfect Father's Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and
deadlines. A relaxing day in the
yard swimming laps in the pool
or hitting a few grounders to your
waiting baseball mitt may be all
the excitement he needs. Toss a
few steaks on the grill to give Father's Day a truly perfect ending.
Impromptu party: Some
Dads like to be the center of at-
tention. A Father's Day party

thrown in his honor, complete
with friends and family, can be an
entertaining way to spend the
day. If you are worried about interrupting others' Father's Day
plans, host the gathering on the
Saturday before Father's Day and
let Dad be the life of the party.
Finger foods, barbecue, a limited
list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music
are all that you need to host a festive function.
Plan a Father's Day celebration with your Dad in mind. Cater
to his favorite activities and opt
for entertainment that he will
enjoy.

KSTP announces 5th annual

Summer Harvest for Kids
fundraiser, Wednesday, June 17
KSTP announces its 5th Annual Summer Harvest for Kids
fundraiser/phone bank set for
Wednesday, June 17. A donation
of $25 will feed one child lunch
for the summer. Along with the
Summer Harvest for Kids partners, Second Harvest Heartland,
The Food Group, Matter, and
VEAP, the goal is to raise funds
that will help alleviate hunger
for kids during the summer
months when they lose access to
free or reduced-price school
meals.
During the school year, more
than 328,500 Minnesota children receive free or reducedprice school meals. But when
summer arrives, only about 15
percent of these kids continue to
access a meal programthat
means that more than 250,000
kids are missing meals and not
receiving the nutrition they need
during the summer months.

On Wednesday, June 17,
KSTP will be hosting a phone
bank beginning with the 4:30
a.m. newscast through the 10:00
p.m. newscast. Throughout the
day, we will show you innovative ways local leaders in hunger
relief are tackling the problem of
childhood hunger, plus you will
meet some amazing volunteers
doing their part to make a difference in the lives of Minnesota
Kids. Remember, a donation of
$25 will feed a child lunch for
the summer. You can make a difference in the life of a Minnesota
child.
To donate today or for more
information on the Summer Harvest for Kids initiative, visit
www.KSTP.com. On Wednesday, June 17, donations can be
made on-line and via the telephone at 651-646-1699.
outs and gave up two unearned

runs before leaving the game.
Ben Jungers got the long-relief
opportunity, going five and a
third innings and giving up
seven hits and two walks while
striking out three. On offense
the Lakers took an inning to get
going but put up 12 in the next
three innings, opening the doors
for the bench players to get
some at bats. Brian Redemske
was hit in the ankle and was
slow to get up before leaving
the game. Todd Fuller filled his

spot in centerfield and recorded
a double, along with doubles
from Bergstrom and Rachel.
The Lakers would like to
thank all of the volunteers who
made the tournament a success.
Maple Lake plays again on
Wednesday in Dassel at 7:30
before hosting Howard Lake at

Sunday afternoon as Maple
Lake took on the Fairmont Martins in a rematch of the 2012
State Championship. The Lakers jumped out to an early lead,
scoring a run in the first and
second innings. Two runs is a
big lead when your starting
pitcher comes in to the game
with a .30 ERA.
Jeremy

Fairmont lineup giving up four

six strikeouts. Maple Lakes
defense was stellar as well,
committing zero errors to help

The Catch
by Jeff Plattner
2015 GMs Draft
The NBA Draft is Thursday,
June 25th. That means its time
for the 2015 GMs Draft. Via
text message, my good friend,
Jay, and I put on our best general manager caps and draft not
whom we think each team will
take, but whom we would draft,
if we were in charge. After winning the No. 1 overall pick, Jay
was on the clock, drafting for
our very own Minnesota Timberwolves. Jay will make all
the odd-numbered picks, while
I will make the even-numbered
selections. That is of course,
unless a blockbuster trade takes
place. Picks 1-14, the NBA
draft lottery picks, are below.
(Jay) This was one of the
toughest decisions as a GM that
I could be presented with. The
anticipated consensus #1 overall pick for the past year, Jahlil
Okafor, has been overtaken in
recent gallop polls by the more
exciting candidate, Karl-Anthony Towns. Being a Duke
fan, the pick should be easy:
take the more polished Okafor
and let him patrol the middle
aisle of Target Center for the
next 12-15 years. But, the NBA
has changed recently to an upand-down style, pick and rolls
that need the big to be able to
be more than just a wall of
flesh, centers that can run the
floor, but can still step out and
hit a jumper. 15 years ago my
pick is easy: Okafor. Today my
pick is just as easy: K.A.T. The
Kentucky product should be
able to meld with the young
Pups that we already have on
the squad to create a formidable heat source for our cold
winter nights.
(Jeff) With the 2nd pick in
the 2015 NBA Draft, the Los
Angeles Lakers select DeAngelo Russell, PG, Ohio State.
Much like the Wolves thought
process, if it was 2005, the pick
is Okafor in a heartbeat. However, the NBA game is changing and combo guards with
range have replaced the dominant big man. Competing in the
Western Conference, we face a
plethora of deadly point guards
on a nightly basis; Curry, Westbrook, CP3, Lillard, etc., so it
only makes sense to get one of
these guys ourselves. We feel
comfortable in our ability to fill
our front court needs via free
agency. Also, well be terrible
again this season and the top of
the 2016 draft figures to be
loaded with big men.
***WE
HAVE
A
TRADE*** The Philadelphia
76ers have agreed to trade
Thomas Robinson and their
2015 1st-round pick (3rd overall) to the New York Knicks for
Carmelo Anthony and their
2015 1st round (4th overall).
The New York Knicks are on
the clock.
(Jeff) Its time for a change;
time to get this franchise back
to its winning ways. We thank
Carmelo for his services and
wish him well in Philadelphia.
It's been 15 years since the
great Patrick Ewing patrolled
the Garden paint. Today begins
a new era of paint dominance at
MSG. With the 3rd pick, the
Knicks select Jahlil Okafor, C
from Duke. Now that we have
our big man of the future and
much-needed cap room, well
look to build around Okafor by

luring some of the following
2015/2016 free agents to the
bright lights of NYC; LeBron
James, Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love,
Damian Lillard, Jimmy Butler,
Mike Conley, Bradley Beal,
and Kawhi Leonard, to name a
few.
(Jay) With the 4th pick, the
Philadelphia 76ers select Emmanuel Mudiay, PG from the
Congoor...Texas...umm...the
Guangdong Southern Tigers of
the CBA. Mudiay was basically
the second player on our big
board behind Russell. Don't get
us wrong, KAT would be amazing but we NEED a PG. By
making the trade with NYC
we'll have a starting five of
Mudiay, returning leading
scorer from 2015, Melo, and
twin towers Nerlens Noel and
Joel Embiid. That's exciting.
The City of Brotherly Love is
begging for a superstar to love.
We've built a young, exciting,
team-first cast around Melo.
Let's see what happens in 3
years.
Orlando Magic select Kristaps
Porzingis, PF/C, Latvia.
As the GM of an NBA franchise I should know all the
players on my team, especially
the starters... right? I had no
idea who my starting PF going
into this off-season was. I was
just as clueless after I was told
that it was Dewayne Dedmon.
We know Porzingis might be 2
years and 20 pounds of muscle
away from scratching his potential, but we think we have a
core group of young players
(Peyton, Oladipo, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Vucevic) that
believe they can bring a title to
Orlando.

time to attend Wright Technical Center.
8. Unfinished Business
A. The annual Q Comp report
was given by Q Comp Advisor

Colleen Carlson. Carlson said the
main focus of the PLC this year was
to have all staff master the skills identified on the observation rubric. PLCs
were also provided the latitude to
focus on what most pertains to their
practices. Instructors Voigt, Seibert
and Carlson are attending a PLC
leadership academy and working on
tweaking plans for next year. 100% of
staff was observed 3 times this year.
Staff set their own professional individual goals and each school set
goals based on MCA scores, with a
focus on reading.
B. The annual report on the Alternative Delivery of Specialized Instructional Services (ADSIS) Program was
presented by Colleen Carlson. Carlson said 94 students were served in
the program. Seventy-six students
were served in the elementary, with
23 showing growth in math, 39 in
reading and 25 in behavior. Of the 18
students served in the high school, 5
showed growth in math, 6 in reading
and 8 in behavior. Elementary parent
surveys showed 80% of parents
would recommend this program to
another parent. High school surveys
have not yet been returned. Service
was determined by previous years
NWEA and MCA scores, TAT referrals, and RtI meetings.

The Catch
(Jeff) With the 6th pick, the
Sacramento Kings select Justise
Winslow, SF from Duke. This
was a very difficult decision for
the Kings, as we were torn between two players. However,
Winslows versatility and character won out. He will immediately help us on both ends,
especially where we need it the
most, on the defensive end, as he
can guard most 2s and 3s and
even some PGs.
Denver Nuggets select Willie
Cauley-Stein, C, Kentucky. We
feel like taking the best player
available here is our best route.
Adding WCS to a front court of
Gallinari and Kenneth Faried is
a scary thought. Cauley-Stein
can solidify the middle and, in
turn, will allow Faried to be an
even scarier ball hawk. What
WCS lacks offensively is greatly
out-weighed by his motor and
defensive prowess.
Detroit Pistons select Mario
Hezonja, SF from Croatia. We
love his knack for scoring and
the range on his shot, but above
all else, we couldn't pass on his
ability to play both wing spots,
as that provides our team the
flexibility to get creative on both
ends of the court.
Charlotte Hornets select Devin
Booker, SG, Kentucky. We've
nearly put all the pieces together
in recent drafts to take the next
step, but recently have lacked in
one glaring area: 3-point shooting. We were a league worst
31.8% from behind the arc last
season and think we can slide
Booker into this slot to help us.
Miami Heat select Stanley Johnson, SF, Arizona. We were
tempted to go a few different
ways here. However, Johnson
gives us depth at our position of
greatest need and he's ready to

play now. Also, you may have
heard of a guy named LeBron?
If the Heat are to compete again
in the East, we'll need a physical
defender who can slow him
down. We believe Stan can be
that man.
Indiana Pacers select Cameron
Payne, PG Murray State. After
thoughts of moving back to select Payne later, we thought it
would be advantageous to grab
him now. We need a high IQ
point guard that can get to the
rim to pair with Paul George.
Payne plays with a floor general's confidence, something
that's really needed here in Indy.
Utah Jazz select Kelly Oubre,
SF, Kansas. Though we could
use more front-court depth,
when it came down to it, we
were simply too enticed by
Oubre's athleticism and explosiveness, attacking the rim.
Thanks to his incredible 7'2"
wingspan, he can guard multiple
positions, as well.
Phoenix Suns select Myles
Turner, PF, Texas. Questions
about his toughness, his rebounding and the way he runs
fall on deaf ears around here in
the southwest. Turner is a top
five talent that falls in our lap
and can step outside or work the
blocks.
(Jeff) With the 14th pick in
the draft, the Oklahoma City
Thunder select Frank Kaminsky,
C, Wisconsin. Our window is
about to be slammed shut, so it's
imperative we bring in a guy
who can help us win the title
next year, before Durant
bounces next summer. Frank the
Tank brings us instant offense
off the bench, while opening up
the floor for others, thanks to the
7-footer's smooth outside touch.

County Board
* Announced that the public
beach at Bertram Chain of Lakes
Park officially opened for business Saturday, June 6, and that,
despite inclement weather over
the weekend, it was extensively
used on its opening weekend.

had attempted to sell some of the
EVERY DAY LOW PRICES ON PIZZA!

machinery from the facility, but
there wasnt a market for it and
the county can get more money
selling it for scrap metal than they
could trying to sell the equipment
to another composting operation.
* Re-appointed Connie
Lounsbury to a three-year term on
the Wright County Personnel
Board of Appeal. Her term will
run through June 30, 2018.
* Scheduled a capital im-
provement finance committee for

9 a.m. Tuesday, June 30, in the
commissioner conference room.
Each year when money is turned
back from the previous budget
year, projects are discussed that
can be completed without using
levy dollars to accomplish.
* Awarded the contract for the
replacement of the Rockwood
Avenue bridge replacement in
Southside Township to Structural
Specialties Inc., whose bid of

$474,727 was $75,000 under the
engineers estimate and $125,000
less than the next-lowest bid.
* Approved advertising for applicants for an opening on the
Clearwater River Watershed
Board of Managers. Jeffrey
Golden currently sits on the
board, but informed the county
that he wont seek reappointment
after his term expires Aug. 31.
