New county commissioners reflect on year

A year ago, the five Wright County commissioners spent a relatively sleepless night awaiting the decision as to whether they would be members of the county board or not. Thanks to redistricting, all five commissioners had to run for election and none were convinced they would win. A year later, some of the commissioners reflected on election night 2012 and how the last year has impacted them. Commissioner Pat Sawatzke was in the unique situation of having to run against a sitting commissioner, as redistricting put him and Rose Thelen in the same district. Admittedly awkward, Sawatzke said the only reason he ran was to provide some continuity on a county board that was going to have four new members. I was relatively confident I would win, but I made it clear prior to the election that the only reason I was running was because we were going to have such significant turnover on the county board, Sawatkze said. I felt that the board needed to maintain some experience and stability and that I could bring some of the leadership needed. If not for so many new commissioners coming on, I wouldnt have run again and have maintained that. That was my last election and I wont run again in three years. While Sawatzke is winding down the end of his service to Wright County, the other commissioners were just starting their own journeys, ones they werent sure were even going to happen as they waited out the election result. Christine Husom spent the night at a Buffalo bowling alley and event center. continued on page 3

Mike Muller remembers launching his career in the theater business. The year was 1948 and he was selling popcorn at his grandfathers theater in Annandale. His commission of two cents per bag wasnt bad for an eight-year-old who could buy an ice cream cone for a nickel or go to Maple Lake High School students will bring Dracula to life, starting at 7:01 p.m. on Nov. 14, 15 and 16 in the high school auditorium.

the movie himself for 15 cents. Some nights he literally didnt make a dime, while his biggest haul of $4.28 came when businesspeople visited the area for bank night. Muller, who now owns eight movie theaters, was recently inducted into the National Association of Theatre Owners Hall of Fame in the Midwest region for outstanding leadership, dedication and service.
He took the news of the award in stride. "I asked (North Central NATO President) Jeff Logan, 'Does that mean I'm going to die?' He said, 'I hope not,'" Muller recalled. "I joke a lot, but I was pretty honored when he said I'd been nominated for the hall of fame." Muller credited his grandfather and aunt for teaching him good work habits.

Judging from the numerous Happy Birthday wishes that came my way as a result of the Halloween birthday notice in last weeks Messenger, Im convinced newspaper advertising is alive and well in Maple Lake. And with that said, many thanks to all those who were so kind to acknowledge my birthday, including my family and relatives. That goes ditto to the Messenger staff for the birthday cake, card and their wishes . for many more. . * * * Cole Trager, 14, and son of local postmaster Ed Trager, hunted deer in a mentor hunt in Sibley State Park near New London along with ten other kids and their parents Saturday, Oct. 26th. Ed said they used a ground blind (turkey tent) and Cole passed up seven deer before he connected on a large doe with his shotgun at 10:30 a.m. This was the fifth deer Cole has harvested, his 3rd in Minnesota and two in South Dakota commented his dad who said it was a great time. He said the ground blind worked out well with a shotgun, but may be too confined for a compound bow. This weekend Ed hunted at Camp Ripley in the second weekend of the permits-only hunt. He was one of 2,500 permit holders and passed up on a 6-point buck Saturday because he figured it needed to grow another year or two. As it turned out that was the only deer that came his way on both days. He said there were 181 deer harvested there the first weekend and approximately 80 last Saturday. He figured there were just too many hunters there on Sunday despite the strong wind, commenting it seemed like they were only about 100 yards apart in tree stands. Because of that it wasnt the kind of archery hunting he enjoys and he doubted if he would do it again. He felt he would prefer western

Minnesota where he estimated he would see more deer and not be hunting in a crowd. * * * A phone call from my brother, Charles, on my birthday included a report on a recent walleye trip to Baudette and Lake of the Woods. He they fished out of the Morris gap, had three days of great weather and caught lots of walleyes, although many of them were small. There were five angling out of two boats and he estimated everyone caught at least 100 fish. His largest was 21 inches and the record for the group was 25 inches. He turned me down when I asked if he wanted to go pheasant hunting this fall. Too many aches and pains, Ill stick to fishing, he said. On Friday Anna and I went down to Montevideo for a one-day pheasant hunt. Pheasant usually go out to feed at sun-up and I was baffled when I saw a rooster fly out of a WPA at about 10 a.m. into a corn field across the road. Apparently theyre wising up! I walked half of that WPA anyway which looked good because it had a field of unharvested sunflowers on the east side and a patch of sorghum as a food plot as well as corn on two sides, but we didnt flush any birds. We worked several other Walk In Plots that looked like they had potential, but didnt put up any pheasants. About 4 p.m. we stopped at a WPA (Waterfall Production Area) and hunted the standing corn side which was more rugged. It should have paid off and I did have one good shot, but as the saying goes, no cigar! I kept track of the roosters we put in the air, five, and nearly all of them came after 4:30 p.m. Vana had a couple of points, but it was either old scent or the birds just plain ran away from her. . . Daryl Hennen and I planned a half-day hunt for Sunday, but with the wind predictions of 40 mph gusts we decided to put it on hold for a better day. I took Vana for a walk in the east part of Ney Park that afternoon and it looked like a mini-blizzard from all the cattail fluff the wind was blowing off the Lake Mary swamp WPA. It would not have been pleasant hunting in those conditions. . . Minnesotas firearms deer season opens this weekend and we wish them all a safe and successful hunt as they make their annual pilgrimages north or west. Veteran deer hunter David Mooney said he will be among them in their tent. Considering hes roughly 90, he probably holds the local record for years of participation, especially camping out.

As a former Maple Lake teacher and coach, I am always proud to come back to this great town. It is wonderful to see all the former student athletes doing well and see many of their names in the tournament program. Congratulations, see you at the ballpark! Dale Welter Chaska emptions states: a person driving or riding in a passenger vehicle manufactured before January 1, 1965 is exempt. However, let me commend you on doing the safe and smart thing by installing and wearing the seat belt. More than 100 unbelted motorists and passengers are killed every year on Minnesota roads. We ask everyone to do their part to reduce these preventable tragedies by buckling up, every ride, every time. A seat belt is the best defense on roads full of uncertainties that include speeding, and distracted and impaired drivers. You may be a safe driver but is the driver next to you? Buckle up and protect yourself. In a crash, odds are six times greater for injury if a motorist is not buckled up. In rollover crashes, unbelted motorists are usually ejected from the vehicle. In most cases, the vehicle will roll over the ejected motorist. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Trp.

Happy Movember! Thats right: Movember with an M. Its the month when men of all ages are encouraged not to shave the hair on their upper lips in order to raise awareness and funds for mens health issues. Prior to moving to Minnesota a year ago, I had never heard of Movember. I had heard of No Shave November, Nair November (take a guess what that consists of) and Februhairy, during which I won the Princess Olga award for the condition of my facial hair in the 28-day-long contest as a junior in college. But I was oblivious to Movember until the guys from WCCO introduced me to the concept. I got so used to their moustaches that I thought they looked really weird once they shaved, though others thought they looked more normal. Well, Ive never been one to try to be normal, so Ive decided Ill grow my own moustache this year. Im still trying to figure out exactly how Movember works, but Ill share what I know for now. A main reason for Movember is because the life expectancy for American men is almost five years less than women (currently 76 compared to 81). Several factors are linked to this disparity, according to Movember: Lack of awareness and understanding about mens health issues

Ask a Trooper: Seatbelt exemptions in classic cars

by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: I have a question about the seat belt law in Minnesota. I own a vintage 1965 Pontiac GTO that was manufactured before Jan.1, 1965. According to the seat belt law as I read it, this makes my car exempt from the seat belt requirement. However, after I bought the vehicle, I installed front and rear seat belts. My friend says that because my car is exempt I do not have to wear them and cannot be cited. I do not agree. I think that if you have seat belts, then you must wear them, and can be cited for not wearing them. Who is correct? Answer: Thank you for the question and to answer it, your friend is correct. There are a few exemptions from wearing a seatbelt in Minnesota. One of those ex-
As conferees convene, priorities for a Farm Bill

While rural Americans have already waited too long for passage of a new Food, Farm and Jobs bill, this week brought a promising new development. Conferees from
the Senate and House met to begin work on the creation of a bipartisan, long-term Farm Bill. Their work could not be more timely and they are in the spotlight now

more than ever before. The Farm Bill is crucial to Americas farmers, ranchers and producers. It provides a necessary safety net for producers centered around a strong crop insurance program and a dependable set of disaster assistance programs. The last two years of drought and other weather-related disasters underscore how important that safety net is to keeping producers in business. The Farm Bills importance extends beyond the farm safety net. Its a research bill that continues our long history of agricultural
innovation. The Senate-passed Farm Bill would authorize a new, non-profit research foundation, allowing the USDA to more effectively leverage millions of dollars in private investment toward agricultural research. The Farm Bill is a conservation bill that would support a record number of producers who are investing in efforts to conserve our soil, water and air; while also combating the impacts of a changing climate.

Thirteen is obviously an unlucky number, and 2013 has to be 2000 worse. I can base that contention on my own personal experience. Here's part of my year: Septic system froze Outboard wouldn't start for most of the summer Tree had to come down (we decided it was time) Two neighbors had bad accidents Computer quit Son got activated again (leaves next year) Coffeemaker quit Toaster oven quit Wife needs a tooth crowned. Some of those things were nuisances, but others will bug us for years. For example, the tree. It was a 20-foot stump taken down that will be messing up the yard for a long time. We think Son-in-law needs exercise, and he'll be here when wood splitting is bestthe dark of winter. We got a new coffeemaker. I fixed the outboard by rewiring the starter switchnever do that. Neighbors survived their accidents, thankfully. Septic system revived after throwing $300 at it. We tossed the toaster oven and bought a toaster. The crown is scheduled to be fixed. The computer was replaced and has the latest operating system. It's new enough to make my printer obsolete, and I just replaced the print cartridges on the old one, which worked fine when the computer worked.

Men not openly discussing their health/how theyre feeling Reluctance to take action when men dont feel physically or mentally well Men engaging in risky activities that threaten their health Stigmas surrounding physical and mental health The Movember website shows several scary stats. Here are a few: 1 in 2 men, and 1 in 3 women, will be diagnosed with cancer, including prostate cancer in 1 in 6 The most common cancer in 15 to 35-year old men is testicular 6 million men are diagnosed with depression each year Almost four times as many males as females die by suicide These stats paint a stark picture, but, the picture doesnt have to stay that way. Thats part of the vision of Movember: bringing to light issues that men often sweep under the rug. The other part of the Movember equation is raising funds to support the Movember Foundation, which is a Better Business Bureau-accredited charity. For example, if youd like to support my efforts, you can search for me at us.movember.com. I would like to raise as much attention as possible. Based on Sarahs reaction so far, I expect my moustache to raise a few eyebrows. Maybe Ill raise a couple bucks for an underrated cause along the way.
Learning a new system is a little like taking a class in brain surgery. In all the years I worked with systems, I rarely took the side of the user, except when I was on a quality assurance team and our task was to break the system, which was fun. Now, as a user, I remember those old IBM manuals that were perfectly clear once you knew the system but were meaningless when you didn't. Norton, whoever he is, interrupts my computer work from time to time with IBM-like messages regarding arcane functions that I never knew existed and about which there seems to be no solution. But the thing still works, so I ignore them. I just may find out where Norton lives, and delete him. There are things called charms that I need to figure out. I'd also like to know why my old system seems to be lurking under the new one, and why a smart new computer can't seem to locate my old software, which is right there where I put it before the old computer died. Next year thirteen will be replaced by fourteen, if the years continue in sequence the way they have in the past. Maybe then things will go my way. But, as I said before, maybe pigs can fly. P.S. I just installed a new printer because the old one is obsolete, and I found out that the picture card in my camera is obsolete as well. It figures. It's still 2013.

Simonette walks away from crash
She was cautiously optimistic that the votes would come in her favor, but after getting home and checking back on the states election website, she couldnt wait any longer. There was some problem with Buffalo Township and getting the votes from there in, Husom said. It got to be so late that I ended up going to bed before I knew if I had won or lost. I didnt find out I had won until the next morning. It was a different story for Commissioner Charlie Borrell. He had run against seven candidates in the primary, including sitting Commissioner Dick Mattson, and had advanced to the general election, but, when the returns started coming in, his confidence hit bottom. I came in confident, but when I lost in Montrose, I thought to myself, Well, I gave it a good effort, Borrell said. At that point, I thought that I had lost. But, the numbers in Delano and Franklin Township came in very strong and suddenly I was in the lead. The lead actually went back-and-forth a few times. It was very close throughout and it wasnt until well after midnight that the final votes came in and I found out that I had won. Even worse was the scenario facing Mike Potter. As the returns started coming in, he was projected by a local news website as losing. But, in Dewey beats Truman fashion, the projection didnt hold up. I had been confident that I would win because I had gone door-to-door throughout the district, but, when Rockford Township and Hanover numbers came in, it wasnt looking good, Potter said. The Patch news site projected that my opponent had won about midnight. The votes took a long

Maple Lake Messenger Page 3 November 6, 2013 time to come in, but when the final votes came in about 4 a.m., I learned I had won. In the year since then, the new commissioners have acclimated themselves to the position for better and worse. They all had previous experience in government, but none of them were fully prepared for what they were going to face. About a month in, I told my wife that I could quit at any time, Borrell said. With four new commissioners, I thought we could make more changes than we did early on. It was very frustrating because we had very different opinions as to how to get things done and I had anticipated that we would be moving forward much faster than we did. Weve accomplished a lot since then and we have several goals for the county moving forward, but initially, there were times I thought I had made a mistake in running. Husom was no stranger to county government, having worked for the sheriffs department for nine years, but she found the commissioner job to be a lot more time-intensive than she had originally envisioned. I had a pretty good idea of what the commissioners job would entail, but I didnt really understand the full scope of the position, Husom said. That first meeting in January when we divided up more than 60 committee and advisory board appointments, it was clear that there was going to be a lot of behind-the-scenes work and getting up to speed on issues that I didnt have a large knowledge base on. It took a while to get there, but its been a busy year that has been a challenge. I think the board is working a lot better together now than we did at the beginning because were all getting comfortable in the weekly routine and meeting schedules we have. Potter felt similar growing pains. Having run for county commissioner before, he was aware of the problems facing the county and, early on, butted heads with Sawatzke at times because they both had strong opinions on some of the issues facing the county. He has acclimated himself to the job, but said what has surprised him is the seemingly constant rate of new issues taking the boards attention. The biggest thing that surprised me is how often youre dealing with little fires that flare up that you thought were taken care of, Potter said. Youre always getting little curveballs that you didnt anticipate and theres always something that comes up. But, after a while, you get used to it. A year ago, the commissioners went through a long night of waiting to see if they would be on the county board or not. A year later, all of them have eased into their jobs and are looking forward with confidence. Four of us were learning on the fly at the same time, Borrell said. Those first days were difficult because we were having so much information thrown at us. It was kind of an overload. But, once we got into the swing of things, weve been able to work together and address the causes that mean a lot to us and the constituents in our districts we present. A year later, I think we all see things a little differently and are ready to hit 2014 running and doing our job for the residents of the county.

Trick-or-treaters hit the streets in Maple Lake
Hundreds of kids and their parents took to the streets of Maple Lake for Business Trickor-Treating, sponsored by the Maple Lake Chamber of Commerce, on Halloween. (Clockwise from bottom left) Star Bank employees greeted trick-or-treaters in costume. (Front) Shelley Fobbe, Jackson Willard and Justine Charmoli. (Back) Brian Shropshire, Cheryl Pullins, Shannon Veches, Julie Hudek, Jean Kramer, Deanna Lauer and Andy Walquist. Super heroes were among the participants in Thursday afternoons festivities. The American Legion parking lot was a popular gathering spot for several candy gatherers throughout the afternoon. Asher Wolf took a nap on the shoulder of his mom, Dannielle Green, while she welcomed kids into the fun house at CS Salon. Batman-clad Sam Marquette and his cousins, Jacob and Nathan Galles, were among the many students who started trick-or-treating as soon as classes finished at St. Timothys School.

Candy for troops Veterans Day event to feature panel

Linda Weber had her thirdgrade students write Halloween essays. Madi Clapp Last year my costume for Halloween was a devil angel. I got 80 pieces of candy and ate half of them in one night. My stomach hurt really bad the next morning. This year I was dressed up like a baker and had a cooking pan with fake cookies on it. Audrea Beffel This year I was dressed up for Halloween as an American girl doll. I even had a big box around me. My mom and I painted it together but she did most of the work. My brother Max was Papa Smurf. If you ask me, I think its pretty cute. My other brother Noah was a skeleton holding a baby, and his head was the baby head. Wesley Zuelke The End Has Begun One day on Halloween there were two kids that went to every house except one. When they opened that ones door and went in something grabbed them and they were never seen again. Some people think they still roam around this land and take people to join them. Audree Lee This Halloween I was a bat fairy. My sister Avery was a cheerleader, my sister Taylor Wonder Woman, and my sister Claire a bat girl. We went to the businesses first and then when it got dark we planned to go home. Then go around the block until 10:00 with a neighbor Abby, and her mom Suzie. Bennet Lewison My Halloween Story Once upon a time on Halloween night a boy named Nate went into a haunted house. (Kawam!) The door slammed shut. He was scared and ran upstairs in a room and saw a zombie. He ran out of the room into another room. He saw a devil there and ran downstairs. He was trapped. That boy was never seen again. The End. Gwen Geyen My Halloween Story Late one night there was a ghost wondering around and this kid could see the ghost. She thought the ghost was another kid. The ghost walked right through her. Then she knew that it was a real ghost and not another kid. The girl screamed and ran away. The ghost turned out to be really nice and just wanted to give some candy to her. The next day the girl saw the ghost again and the ghost had a sign that said Take this candy. So the girl took the candy. The End Layton Johnston My Halloween Story There once was a kid named Blake and it was Halloween. Everyone was excited, especially Blake. He was going to be a vampire and was also the running back for the High School Huskies, the Kentucky High Football team. They were playing that night but Blake couldnt decide if he would be going Trick or Treating or be at the big game. So he asked his Mom what she thought and she said to just spend time with his family. So thats what he did, and it turned out to be the best Halloween ever.
School
Maple Lake Elementarys word of the month in October was kindness. To go along with the word, sixth graders were studying and writing essays about veterans for the Patriotic Pen contest. To combine both, the students were given a proposal: Share a bag of candy to mail to troops overseas and receive a chance for the monthly drawing at the school. On Friday, the sixth graders surprised the staff by stockpiling 42 pounds of candy for troops. (Photo submitted by Jenn Des Marais-Holland)

Strong second half gets Irish football team to state

What started as a shootout concluded with a shutout, as the Maple Lake Irish football team defeated the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Lakers by a score of 48-21 in the 4AA Section Final on Halloween. A dramatic, back-and-forth battle put the halftime score at 21-21. "The first half was a heart-attack shootout," coach Tim Knudsen said. Landon Caughey put the Irish on the board first with a rushing touchdown followed by a Charlie Stejskal point-after-touchdown kick for a 7-0 lead. Trevor Borell picked off HLW-W's quarterback on the next possession, but an Irish interception gave the ball back. Strong defense kept the Lakers from scoring from 15 yards out. However, it also made a long field for the Irish, who had to punt the ball away from the end zone. HL-W-W capitalized on the field position with a touchdown

A goal for Maple Lake has been to return to state, and winning the semi-final game on Oct. 29 got them one step closer to achieving it. On their home court, the Irish played the St. Anthony Village Huskies. A prepared Irish team started the game strong but the win in game one was not easy. The teams both had their strengths but Maple Lake found the weakness of the St. Anthony Village team. When the Irish served tough, the Huskies struggled to pass it and often left them out of formation. Being out of formation made it difficult for St. Anthony Village to make aggressive plays which made it easy for the Irish to make the plays needed to score. Taking advantage off these situations Maple Lake was able to score even with lots of pressure and won 30-28. In game two, the Huskies improved their passing game, which allowed them to get the ball to their main players. When these players got the ball, they made tough plays that the Irish had to work hard to defend. Both teams put in great effort and made plays that led to runs by both teams but the Huskies made more, leading to a 25-23 win for the visitors. Game three was also close. Though the Irish won 25-22, there was still room for much improvement. Knowing this, the Irish stepped up their level off play, with

early in the second quarter. Following another Irish interception, the Lakers took a 13-7 lead with 4 minutes remaining, setting a seesaw of scoring in motion. Cal Redemske and Stejskal gave the lead back to the Irish with a one-yard run and PAT, but it was short lived as HL-W-W put up a touchdown and two-point conversion just 24 seconds remaining, leaving the Irish with just 43 seconds remaining. "We weren't going to sit on it," coach Tim Knudsen said. "We knew we had one play and decided to run it." Caughey pitched the ball to Redemske, who heaved it to a streaking Zach Johnson for the game-tying touchdown. "We knew they'd bite thinking we were going to continue to run the ball and get into field-goal range," Knudsen said. "It was the right call at the right time and the kids executed it. We had just put that play in on Monday." Redemske also came up with one of his two interceptions as the first-half clock expired.

the occasion after losing the Section 4AA Final game a year earlier. "We always talk about remembering the locker room and disappointment from last year," Knudsen said. "We didn't want to go out feeling like that again. They took that to heart." While others counted out the Irish, who only returned one offensive starter, Knudsen said his squad kept the faith. "Nobody really anticipated us doing anything in the conference or section but, in our brotherhood, we knew we could make things happen," he said. Most of the offense came on the ground Redemske racked up 243 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries to go with his 51-yard passing touchdown to Johnson. Paumen put up 125 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and Caughey cashed in two of his eight carries for touchdowns en route to 93 total rushing yards. Next to Johnson, Nick Gapinski was the only other receiver with a catch, good for six yards.
That throw came from Caughey, who was 1-4 with an interception. Johnson also threw an interception on his only pass. On defense, the Irish allowed 178 yards on 13-28 passing and 48 rushing yards on 30 attempts. Nic Paumen and Dusty Strub led Irish tacklers with five tackles and three assists each. Gapinski followed with four tackles and three assists. Trevor Paumen pulled down three tackles, five assists and a sack. Redemske totaled three tackles and two assists to go with his two interceptions. Borell paired his interception with three tackles and an assist. Lucas Fobbe's stat line included two tackles, three assists and a sack. Other contributors included Damian Kaley (one tackle, five assists and an interception), Dominic Kaley and Josh Gindele (one tackle, six assists), Derek Reller (one tackle, five assists) and Devin Lowers (one tackle, two assists). Maple Lake will face Pine Island at 7 p.m. Friday at Richfield High School.
aggressive serves and strong plays at the net. "They dug well against our attacks but when it came to broken plays we definitely had the advantage," said junior Emily Webb. These broken plays happened more as the Irish serves became more powerful and allowed the Irish to win 26-25. Maple Lake won this match in four games, which advanced them to the section final game against the DeLaSalle Islanders at St. Michael High School on Oct. 31. Against DeLaSalle the Irish started strong. The team came out with lots of intensity and showed all of their skills in game one, winning 25-15. The team was excited for their win but, in game two, they struggled to keep that excitement alive. Due to the fact that the section final football game was the same night, the Irish lacked fans in the stands. Though they had some, it wasn't as many as they were used to. This toned down the excitement in the gymnasium and made it difficult for Maple Lake to get excited. All their skills were present but the intensity needed to win the game was missing. This resulted in a 2523 Irish loss. Maple Lake, still playing hard in game three, continued to lack intensity. Being tough competitors, they stayed aggressive and made the Islanders work to score. In tough situations the Irish usually rely on their consistent serves to get them
through it. However, when they were down they had trouble making the important serves over. This gave DeLaSalle the momentum and helped them win 25-19. "When we got excited and started to motivate each other to do well, we gained back the intensity needed to come back," said junior Jenni Pomije. Once the Irish gained back intensity they were able to improve their serving and make aggressive plays. With improved serving, Maple Lake was able to win a close game four 26 - 24, gaining back momentum. DeLaSalle had won two games in a row but now the Irish had the momentum and they carried it into game five. The very close game left the crowd on their feet with many intense plays that made it seem the game could go either way. But Maple Lake pulled through with the desire to win and did so, 15-13, earning the title of subsection champions. Continuing their run in the playoffs the Maple Lake Irish advanced to the section final game against the Park Center Pirates on Saturday at St. Michael Albertville High School. The game brought out the best in both teams but only one could move on the the state tournament. In game one, the Pirates came out strong and proved to be a tough match for the Irish. They were a skilled passing team which made it difficult to score. Maple Lake

served a strong ball and had accurate hits but the Pirates passed the serve really well and dug up most of the Irish hits. Struggling to score against a tough defense, the Irish lost 25-19. Park Center continued to pass well in game two. Even with a skilled Pirates defense, the Irish were still able to compete. They found new ways to score besides attacking with hard hits. Maple Lake had to start playing a smart game and find open spots on the court that would allow them to score easily. Though the Irish lost 25-19, finding different ways to score helped the Irish in game three. Going into game three, the Irish were down two games and they knew they would have to win to give their team an opportunity to win the match. Maple Lake took full advantage of their new game plan. When the Irish started finding open spots on the court, the Pirates defense started to break down. When the defense started to weaken, the Irish began to play the way they are used to, by playing the ball back tough. When they could play their game they won 25-10. Now that the Irish had momentum they began to play with great intensity and with the belief that they could win. Their serves and attacks only improved and the Irish defense was there with lots of backup. The change in play gave Maple Lake the edge they needed to win. The Irish won game four 2522, sending the match into game

Geyen, Carlson earn all-state cross country honors

Even though there was a sense of familiarity heading back to the 2013 Minnesota State High School League State Cross Country Meet, there were some elements that made it a unique and memorable day. After a season of record-breaking performances, it was fitting to end the 2013 season with even more records set, including not only Maple Lakes first ever all-state cross country finisher, but its second, too, in the same race. Last season, the Irish set a school record by sending three athletes to state in the same year: Senior Greg Dorow, freshman Sommer Carlson, and eighthgrader Halle Geyen. This year that record was equaled, with Carlson and Geyen qualifying again, along with first-time entrant Andrew Schonnesen. After a sendoff of high-fives by the high school and elementary student bodies on Friday, the athletes and coaches headed to St. Olaf College in Northfield to practice on the course. This allowed the girls to reacquaint themselves with the course and for Andrew to see it before his race, coach Ben Youngs said. Spirits were high and the mood was light as they bumped into familiar runners, ran a light workout, joked around, and listened to some encouraging words from guest speakers at the cross country social. Since class AA ran the morning races, the Irish waited as patiently as possible for their chance to run

with the best in the state. It was a crisp but pleasant day, with temperatures in the high 40s and brilliant sunshine when the girls warmed up for their race. Despite knowing the routine because of qualifying the previous year, it was apparent that some nervousness was setting in as the race approached. However, the girls did not let this hamper their performances, and they actually seemed to be able to use it to their advantage. Before the race I just kept telling myself I am lucky enough to be here and I just want to place better than I did last year, Geyen said. Both girls were able to get out to a fast start. At the first mile, Carlson (5:46) and Geyen (5:52) were well below their personalrecord paces, which is typical at a high-caliber meet. As they crossed the two-mile mark, they were running next to each other and just under the magic number 25 spot which would designate them as all-state runners. Geyen was able to surge past a pack of runners on the final hill. During the race, I just looked at all the people screaming, something that you don't see every day. And I just kept trying to motivate myself to pass the next group of girls, Geyen said. Carlson held her position, sprinting down the final stretch and preserving her all-state status. A year ago, Carlson finished 77th and this year she was 24th out of 176 runners. Not only that, but she bettered her time from last seasons state meet, dropping from 15:58 to 15:31.
After the race I felt satisfied with how I ran," Carlson said. "Achieving All State was a goal of mine during this race and I am very happy that I was able to achieve it. If anyone would have told me a year ago that I would improve this much from last year I probably would have laughed. I never thought or believed I could ever achieve All State, and I could not have achieved my goal without my coaches, teammates, family and friends by my side. They motivated me to keep giving my best and to work hard throughout the season.

They are pictured with coach Nikkie Christiansen, head coach Ben Youngs and coach J McClelland. (Photo by Jennifer Carlson) For Geyen, this year had her placing 17th as compared to 47th last year, and her time dropped from 15:40 to 15:25. My goal for the state meet was to improve from last years place, and to know I moved up 30 places is still something I can't believe," Geyen said. "I think going for the second time I kind of knew what to expect and how everything works which helped me perform better. I couldnt be more proud of the way they competed, Youngs said. We discussed their goals ahead of time, discussed the keys to their races, and talked about balancing competition and goals with having fun. They did exactly what we talked about. They proved they are among the best runners in the state. After the incredible excitement the girls generated, it was time for Schonnesen to run. Showing a mix of calmness and nervousness, when his name was announced during introductions it was clear to see he was excited to run. I was really nervous prior to the start of the race, Schonnesen said. When the gun sounded, Schon-
nesen went out boldly with a 5:17, way under his p.r. race pace. We had talked to Andrew about not going out too fast. However, when the gun goes off in a meet like that, oftentimes race strategies go out the window. Thats what makes this meet so tough for first-time runners, Youngs said. Schonnesen continued to work hard throughout the race, not falling off the pace that much, despite going out really fast. He ended in 111th place out of 176 runners and his third-best time ever, 17:51. After the race, I was exhausted, but relieved that the pressure was off my shoulders, Schonnesen said. After the races ended, the runners mingled amid the sea of fans and competitors, receiving congratulations from coaches, family, and friends. The discussion came up about next season questions about who will return next year, and whether or not the Irish can find a way to qualify its teams after coming so close this year. Next year were bringing the whole team, Schonnesen said. Knowing I was able to improve this much from last year really motivates me to work even harder for next year, Carlson said. Placing that high up makes me want to never stop training so I can do even better than what I did this year, Geyen added. One thing is for certain it was a record-setting day with memories that will stick with the runners for a lifetime.

Mike Muller
Maple Lake Messenger Page 12 November 6, 2013 His role in the theater business became more permanent in 1978, when he and his wife, Jane, bought the Monticello theater. They added a second screen in 1981 and he joined forces with his brother, Bob, to purchase the two-screen Delano theater three years later. Muller Family Theatres are now in six other communities East Bethel, Lakeville, Rogers, Waconia, White Bear Township and Willow Creek for a total of 104 screens. "Box office-wise, we're the second largest circuit in the Upper Midwest," Muller said. His theaters have been trendsetters in several areas. The Delano theater was the first in Minnesota to have popcup holders. Dolby Digital Sound was first featured in the Monticello, East Bethel, Delano and Waconia theaters. Muller remembers that landmark vividly. "We played 'First Blood,'" he said. "There's a scene with rats in a cave. When the rats came out, the sound started in the front three speakers and then spread to the other speakers. I could watch people lift up their feet." At the concession stand, Muller Family Theatres were the first to feature ICEEs and State Fair Mini Donuts. Technology has prompted the biggest change Muller has seen. "Until a couple years ago, the projector system hadn't changed for 70 years," Muller said. "Now we have digital projectors and sound in all 104 auditoriums. They still have bugs, but the nice thing is you can back them up. With the old projectors, you couldn't." Three Muller Monster Screens, including one in Monticello, measure 80 feet wide by 35 feet high and are accompanied by 36 speakers in auditoriums that hold nearly 600 rocker seats. He's enjoyed watching the movie industry grow in Minnesota. "We sold out 'Grumpy Old Men' in Delano way before the show," Muller said. "There were locals who were extras. We had the biggest crowds in the nation for 'Hermantown' because it had been filmed in Mayer. There was a movie with Billy Bob Thornton in it and he came to our theater." Not only have movie stars visited Muller's theaters, but other celebrities as well. "Kevin Garnett and Dennis Green used to go to the Willow Creek Theatre," Muller said. "We used to run shows for Prince in the wee hours of the morning. Chuck Knoblauch used to go to the White Bear Theatre and Kevin McHale used to, too." Even with all the success Muller's theaters have experienced, he said he was shocked to receive the hall of fame designation. "We've been very fortunate over the years," he said.
Give to the Max

From selling popcorn as an eight-year-old, he moved on to sell tickets and run projectors at the Maple Lake Theatre. After high school, he began booking shows, which came with perks. "Mark Rosen's dad Joe was a salesman for Paramount. When he came to Maple Lake, he found out I liked sports. I said, 'I'd like to see the Yankees.' He said, 'I'll get you a couple tickets for each time they come to town,'" Muller recalled. He went on to attend college and serve in the military, but sold tickets in Monticello whenever he returned to the area.

Its a fun way to make a huge difference for Minnesotas nonprofits and schools, said Dana Nelson, executive director of GiveMN. Its so easy for people to participate by donating using a mobile device or scheduling a donation prior to the event. The toughest part is figuring out what organizations to support. 2013 Highlights: Greater Minnesota: GiveMN added a Greater Minnesota leaderboard category for this years event. Organizations
at the top of each leaderboard are eligible for prize money. Power Hours: There are five power hours scheduled throughout the day, designed to bolster giving in each category. Organizations that receive the most donations during these hours will receive an extra $1,000 donation. K-12 Public Schools: Added last year, K-12 public schools are now able to benefit from the 24-hour giving marathon. GiveMNs school toolkit provides parents,
friends and neighbors with creative ideas to support the needs of schools and students. Mobile and Scheduled Giving: GiveMN.org is mobile optimized for smartphones and tablets and makes it easy to give to your favorite nonprofit or school on any device. In addition, starting Nov. 1, people can schedule donations for Nov. 14 making them eligible for prize grants and matching dollars. Campaign Central at Mall of America: To celebrate the Great Minnesota Give To-
gether, GiveMN will host a campaign party at Mall of America. The Uptake will livestream the mall celebration and highlight various organizations fundraising efforts as well as performances from local arts organizations. Legacy of Change Video Contest: GiveMN and Youthprise are partnering to sponsor the What is Your Legacy of Change? video contest offering $20,000 in prize grants to nonprofits and school districts that demonstrate their legacy in a
video. A panel of youth and the Youthprise staff will judge the contest and the winner will be announced on Give to the Max Day. Give to the Max Day is a celebration across the state, and were excited about the greater Minnesota leaderboard this year, said Jana Shogren, executive director for Bridges of Hope, a faith-based community improvement organization headquartered in Brainerd. Nonprofits and schools interested in learning more about Give to the
Max Day can visit GiveMN.org for details. A full list of incentives is available, including leaderboard, power hour and golden ticket prizes. Nonprofits and schools can create customized profiles to showcase their work and introduce their organizations to potential donors. In addition, donors can manage their charitable contributions by recording and storing receipts. GiveMN is powered by Razoo, a critical partner in making Give to the Max Day a success.
The Farm Bill is a trade promotion bill that would assist our farmers and ranchers to export a record amount of product around the world. A new Farm Bill, by resolving a trade dispute with Brazil over cotton supports, would avoid
up to $850 million in retaliatory measures that Brazil is authorized to levy against a wide range of American goods and services. The Farm Bill is a job creation bill that would empower USDA to partner with rural communities to
grow, expand and support new businesses, including new opportunities in biobased product manufacturing and renewable energy. The Farm Bill is a deficit reduction bill that would reform the farm safety net replacing direct
payments with a program that provides farmers help when they need it and saves billions of dollars. The Farm Bill is a nutrition bill that would adequately protect those among us who need help putting good food on the table an effort that is critical for millions of hardworking families, senior citizens, persons with disabilities and returning veterans.
The Farm Bill truly impacts every American. Its no surprise to me that over the course of this fall, President Obama has identified passage of a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill as one of his top three legislative priorities. Congress has a crucial opportunity to grow the economy, create jobs and reduce the deficit by working out a compromise and getting this legislation done.
The President believes that no political party has a monopoly on good ideas and he looks forward to working with Democrats and Republicans to get this done. For decades, the Farm Bill has stood as a model of such bipartisan consensus and I urge conferees from the House and Senate to follow this tradition and move forward a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill as rapidly as possible.
