County Road 7
railroad crossing to
close Monday
The Canadian Pacific Railroad
will be replacing the track and re-
building the crossing at the County
State Aid Highway 7 (Oak Av-
enue) and CP railroad crossing in
Maple Lake and the crossing is ex-
pected to be closed for five days.
Work will begin at 7 a.m. Mon-
day and is expected to be com-
pleted at the end of the following
Friday.
No detour will be posted. Indi-
viduals with questions regarding
the closure should contact High-
way Maintenance Superintendent
Steve Meyer at 763-682-7374 or
Senior Traffic Technician Bill
Cordell at 763-7391.
New work
zone safety
laws begin Friday
Beginning Friday, motorists
who speed through work zones or
ignore flaggers directions will be
fined $300 due to a new law.
This law is important because
it provides added protection in
areas that can be vulnerable to
careless drivers, Minnesota De-
partment of Transportation Com-
missioner Charlie Zelle said.
State Traffic Engineer Sue
Groth said work zone safety is a
top priority and hopes the new in-
creased fine will draw the attention
of motorists to slow down when
driving past workers.
Toward Zero Deaths has also
launched an Orange Cones, No
Phones, safety campaign. TZD
has helped decrease traffic deaths
from 655 in 2003 to 387 in 2013.
Another law requires MnDOT
to study all two-lane highways
over five years and, where appro-
priate, consider raising the speed
limit from 55 mph to 60 mph.
We will only increase the
speed limit if it is deemed safe and
reasonable, Groth said, adding
that two-lane state highways are
already the most dangerous roads
in the state.
Speed limits not established
through the Minnesota Statute are
currently set by Zelle based upon
an engineering and traffic investi-
gation. Visit www.mndot.gov/
speed/index.html. for more infor-
mation about how speed limits are
set.

For the past 16 months, Lauryn
Aanerud has been representing
Maple Lake, first as a Maple Lake
Ambassador, and then, as a candi-
date for Queen of the Lakes at the
Minneapolis Aquatennial Celebra-
tion.
Her Aquatennial candidacy
ended on Friday evening without
a crown, but she said that doesnt
mean she is regretting going
through the process.
It was extremely fun and a
great learning opportunity for my-
self, Aanerud said.
Her week started at the Marriott
City Center Hotel, where she met
Aquatennial commodores, past
commodores and her roommates
from Cambridge and Clara City.
I knew the girl from Cam-
bridge, but didnt know the one
from Clara City very well,
Aanerud said. I got to know them
pretty well.
After a judging session, the
candidates headed to the Twins
game, where Aanerud quickly
learned she was in a very small mi-
nority.
I learned very quickly, being
the only vegetarian, I had to get
my own food, she said.
Her favorite part of the week
came on Tuesday, when she vis-
ited the Womens Club of Min-
neapolis, which was established in
1907.
It was really cool to learn
about the history of Minneapolis
and what women were able to do,
even back then, Aanerud said.
Learning the history of Min-
neapolis didnt stop there, as the
candidates had a chance to learn
a lot about Minneapolis in a really
interesting and fun way during a
segue tour.
They went on to a boat cruise
on Lake Minnetonka, where they
met past princesses and other in-
fluential Aquatennial representa-
tives.
Holy Cross Lutheran
Church in Maple Lake
hosted its annual Country
Music Fest on Sunday. The
band included (from left to
right) Richard Eckert on
harmonica and steel guitar,
Jayce Wagner on drums,
lead vocalist and guitarist
Matt Wagner, Tom Gerold
on bass and banjo, vocalist
Katelyn Warner, vocalist
and emcee Luke Baehr, vi-
olinist and vocalist Marilyn
Groth, vocalist Brian
Warner and guitarist Joe
Beckman (not visible). The
concert included songs
like Down in the River to
Pray, I Saw the Light
and Ill Fly Away.

This fall, two Wright County
commissioners (Christine
Husom and Mark Daleiden) will
be on the ballot after serving
two-year terms. Back in 2012,
due to changes in the size of
commissioner districts, both
were forced to run for re-elec-
tion as all five commissioners
were forced by state law to run
for re-election because of
changes made in redistricting.
At the time, there was an in-
tentional effort to make the
fastest growing areas in the
county the Otsego/St.
Michael/Albertville area the
smallest district in order to be
able to accommodate growth in
hopes of avoiding a similar situ-
ation happening following the
2020 census. Three years into
that process, so far so good.
Although the census is con-
ducted every 10 years, annual
population numbers are com-
piled each year to determine city
and township sizes. Those num-
bers are used when cities or
townships seek grant funding
based on their size. Those an-
nual numbers are compiled by
the State Demographers Office
and those numbers were re-
leased at the July 22 county
board meeting. Auditor/Trea-
surer Bob Hiivala said that,
while the numbers are denoted
as projections, they are the num-
bers that are used.
In between census periods,
these are the official population
numbers that are used, Hiivala
said. Cites and townships are
given the figures back in May
and have the chance to dispute
the figures if they think theyre
wrong. The census is a signifi-
cant undertaking, so these num-
bers serve as the official
numbers between census periods
even though theyre arent exact
numbers theyre estimates
based on the number of house-
holds in a city or township.
When the county announced
its redistricting plan in 2012, it
took into account disproportion-
ate growth in different parts of
the county. Redistricting was
imposed on the county because,
by 2010, the disparity in com-
missioner district size was sig-
nificant and well out of the
parameters of district equality.
Under state law, districts are
supposed to be as close in popu-
lation as possible.

Seventy-five clowns from as
far away as Hawaii, Mexico,
Scotland and India are at-
tending the Mooseburger
Clown Arts Camp. Maple
Lake resident Tricia Manuel,
also known as Pricilla
Mooseburger, has been op-
erating the camp since 1996.
The camp will feature the
free All Star Clown Show
Saturday, starting with face
painting at 6 p.m., with the
show at 6:30 p.m. at the Buf-
falo Civic Center.

Sunfishing Wednesday was what its supposed to be like. I had
a near limit in about two hours and if I had been keeping the spawn
plump females it would have been a lot sooner. It was one of those
days when you didnt have to move once the anchor was dropped.
Vanna and I had the whole south of Maple Lake to ourselves ex-
cept for a loon that was diving nearby, apparently looking for its
breakfast. By 10 a.m. the sun was doing a good job of loosening
up my back with its warm rays; and thats about the time my esti-
mated limit told me to hang it up. I was one fish off, I had nineteen.
I got out again on Friday with Mike Muller and George Palmer
when we needed to check out Mullers new Hummingbird depth
finder which had good detail. We postponed an early morning date
when the weather looked threatening and fished in the afternoon.
Anyway, we fished a spot where I had caught fish before and there
were still some left! Muller was using a feathered doll fly jig which
seemed to be the most deadly while Palmer and I stuck with using
a variety of weighted small jigs. Muller came equipped with two
anchors, one a new 30-pounder, to hold his boat in case of wind. I
think the huge anchor would have held the Titantic and after
pulling it up one time, and barely escaping a hernia, I suggested
he exchange it for a 20-pounder which he did the next day. We had
roughly 20 in the livewell which we returned to the lake and it was
apparent none of us were very fish hungry or it might have been
none of us wanted to fillet fish!

I had kind of a flashback Sunday morning when Vanna and I
were winding up our walk in Ney Park. Two riders were getting
their horses ready in the parking lot when I noticed one was a
mule. My first inclination was it must be Festus from TVs Gun-
smoke fame with Sheriff Matt Dillon, but in reality it was a lady
from the Hasty area. She assured me she wasnt Festus before the
two road off into the sunset, or rather the sunrise. . . Im
hearing a few reports of people seeing pheasants and pheasant
chicks, which is good news, while others are seeing more and more
adult turkeys. Some of the pheasant chicks have been nearly large
enough to fly while others were from a day to a week old. I no-
ticed two Canada geese dead on the Hwy. 55 shoulder just west of
the swimming beach that apparently were victims of a road kill,
while trying to cross the highway. Considering how busy that high-
way has been this summer its surprising it hasnt happened sooner.

The Lakers begin playoffs Wednesday after defeating St.
Michael 9-5 in a come-from-behind victory; and losing to Moor-
head Sunday afternoon 9-2 finishing the season with a 25-3 record.
Chad Raiches home run to deep centerfield with one on kept the
Lakers from being shut out by Moorhead. All of the Region C
playoff games will be in Maple Lake with ML playing their first
game here July 30th at 7:30 p.m. against the Cokato Kings. Its
been a great season for the Lakers and we wish them well in the
playoffs.

Minnesotas deer hunters will need to scrutinize the DNRs per-
mit areas for the 2014 season and for the most part will be allowed
only one deer. Thats a change from recent years and the DNR
says, In 95 percent of the state, only one deer can be harvested
so check closely to determine if you need to submit a lottery ap-
plication. Deadline for lottery applications is Thursday, Sept. 4. In
69 of Minnesota's 128 deer permit areas, hunters must be chosen
in a lottery to shoot an antlerless deer. Only bucks can be hunted
in 14 areas. In 38 areas, hunters have the choice of shooting a doe
or a buck.
Bonus permits allowing hunters to shoot more than one deer may
only be used in seven permit areas and for some special hunts.
Youll need to get ahold of a DNR map that shows the various per-
mit areas to see whats happening in your hunting area.

The fellows on the cement crew that installed sidewalks and
driveway aprons were just like a swarm of bees as they moved
from one spot to another last week on Linden Avenues street re-
construction program. It was pretty obvious to us they all knew
that time is money as they wasted little time spreading the concrete
and doing the finishing work cement requires. A week without
rain will make a huge difference in whats left to do on our avenue.
So far I havent heard of anyone leaving a hand print in the fresh
cement, although it was tempting!

Hello and happy summer!
Things have been busy
around town this summer.
Now that it has dried out a bit
we are able to enjoy our city
and our lakes. I have kept
busy helping with the Maple
Lake Ambassadors, we have
three very energetic and eager
young ladies who have done a
fabulous job representing
Maple Lake in surrounding
communities. Lauryn Aanerud
was fabulous in the Aquaten-
nial coronation she may not
have come home with a crown,
but she certainly can hold her
head up high and be proud of
a job well done.
There are many activities
coming up in the next few
weeks. The Lakers are hosting
the MN Amateur Baseball As-
sociation Regional Tourna-
ment this week and next. It
was slated to go to Delano this
year and to us next year, but
since their field has been under
water we switched. Starting
this Wednesday, they will need
volunteers to help staff con-
cessions and ticket sales. If
youre not volunteering, still
head to Laker Stadium to
watch some great baseball.
Our Lakers are ranked at the
top of the standings and I wish
them all good luck as they
head into the tournament.
Keeping Maple Lake beau-
tiful has been on our agenda
and we have met with the state
to discuss the Highway 55
beautification project in which
MnDOT will provide land-
scaping plans and materials.
More information on how you
can get involved will be com-
ing soon. Also as you are out
and about enjoying the Maple
Lake beach, keep in mind that
it is a reflection on our com-
munity so please help keep it
clean. Next Saturday is Buff
up Maple Lake day, a great op-
portunity to meet other folks
and help make Maple Lake
shine. There will be free curb-
side brush pickup and volun-
teers about town helping with
the effort.
August 16th is the Gear-
Head Get Together and I per-
sonally cant wait to see all of
the vehicles and contraptions
that will fill the streets of
town. As a gear-head myself I
look forward to this event
every year. Along with the
cool cars, bikes and other
geared things there is live
music during the day and at
some of our establishments at
night. Come on out and have
fun with us.
Business is booming! The
new Vet Clinic has opened and
we are excited to have them
here. The Dollar General store
is under construction; it will
be good to have the expanded
grocery and general shopping
items that they offer. Platinum
Plus is finishing the work on
their new building and are al-
ready talking about expansion
which means more jobs for
Maple Lake, and an invest-
ment that is paying off. We
have also made changes to our
building permit fees to encour-
age more building in the com-
munity.
Construction is continuing
on Park, Linden and Division.
I want to thank everyone for
their patience as the detours
remain in place. The end result
is worth the temporary incon-
venience.
Transportation has been a
big concern as many of you
may have noticed the River
Rider program has ended and
we are making a transition to
Trailblazer busses. The County
Commissioners did not come
to an agreement with the Trail-
blazer group, so most of the
cities in Wright County have
formed a commission to ad-
dress this issue. There may be
some growing pains as we try
to make this transition, but
things are moving forward
and, hopefully, we will see
some expansion in transit of-
ferings.
This past year and a half
have flown by as Mayor. It has
been wonderful to get more in-
volved in the community
and get to know more of my
fellow citizens. Please dont
hesitate to reach out and let me
know what great ideas you
have for moving our commu-
nity forward. I can always be
reached by email at
Mayor@ci.maple-lake.mn.us,
or by phone at 320-963-3611.
Its election time! Filing is
open for two City Council
seats and my seat as Mayor. I
encourage you to consider run-
ning for office. It has been a
very valuable experience for
me so far, I have learned a lot
and its a great way to become
more involved in and help
shape the community. I will
be filing for a second term as
Mayor. Filing is open until 5
p.m. on August 12 at city hall
and the filing fee is only $2.
I look forward to continu-
ing in service to this great City
of Maple Lake. Have a fun and
safe summer!

The Minnesota Safe Harbor
for Sexually Exploited Youth
Law goes into effect this Au-
gust, 2014. The law recognizes
that minors are victims, not
criminals and excludes them
from the definition of delin-
quent child. It also increases
the penalties for buyers and
adds the term sexually ex-
ploited youth to Minnesotas
child protection code.
In conjunction with the new
law, the No Wrong Door Model
is the proposed statewide re-
sponse to help identify ex-
ploited and at risk youth, and to
get them victim-centered,
trauma-informed services, and
safe housing.
In the United States, it is es-
timated that 100,000 children
are sexually exploited each
year, and the average age when
a girl is first trafficked is just
13. The problem is pervasive
with more and more predators
using websites to find their next
young victims.
Too many children are
abused in unimaginable ways
through no fault of their own.
Many start using drugs and al-
cohol, either to help them cope,
or because they are introduced
to chemicals as a means of con-
trol by their abusers.
The Wright County Sheriffs
Department and Wright County
Human Services respond to
calls, and deal with situations
involving the trafficking of
teenage girls and young women
on a regular basis. One in-
volved two juvenile females
who met at a treatment foster
home in our county. One girl
was from the metro area and the
other from out state Minnesota.
One was on a probation place-
ment, the other on a human
services hold. They both had
chemical use issues and, a week
later, ran away together.
Later reports revealed the
girls were still together and
using. Contact was attempted
with both sets of parents, but
only one would speak with the
sergeant. The girls had been ex-
changing sex for drugs and
housing while on the run. All
known contacts were unwilling
to reveal their location. One of
the girls was located two weeks
later by her probation agent at a
known party house. She was
bruised and intoxicated, and
placed in a locked treatment
center. The other was located in
the lobby of a metro hotel,
bloody and high on drugs. She
was hospitalized for her condi-
tion, but would not provide a
statement to the authorities.
Correcting a problem first
involves recognizing there is
one. The Safe Harbor Law
shifts the blame from the ex-
ploited to the exploiters where
it should be. There are a number
of resources to help victims,
with more being developed.
Raising public awareness is a
key component. For informa-
tion on the Minnesota Human
Trafficking Task Force online,

Thank you,

Task Force
Dear Editor:
After reading your article in
the July 23 edition of the Maple
Lake Messenger regarding the
Maple Lake Lions and charita-
ble gambling in Minnesota, I
wanted to add my two cents.
First, thank you to the paper for
highlighting all the wonderful
causes supported by the Maple
Lake Lions, which includes
True Friends Camp Courage
and Camp Friendship. It is im-
portant that the public under-
stand that charitable gambling
profits are essential to local
community needs. Funds raised
stay close to home, benefiting
people and projects we know
and identify with on a personal
level. I am so glad your paper
clarifies how the different
forms of gambling supports
different kinds of needs in our
state. We as an organization de-
pend heavily on charitable
gambling dollars.
Secondly, thank you to the
Maple Lake Lions for what
they do for True Friends camps
and for how they make our
communities a better place to
live and work as a whole. You
guys rock!

ment Officer, True Friends

What started with one table
has turned into a home dcor
store in downtown Maple Lake.
When Marlys Northenscold
took the table home, her 15-year-
old daughter, Alana, decided to
put her own touch on it.
She has since painted and re-
furbished several items in just a
few months, which are now
available at Vintage Charm in
The Den at 46 Birch Ave. S. At
first, she started selling the items
at Better Than Ever Interiors and
online. One customer even hired
her to do the furniture in her Little
Falls home.
The mother-daughter duo is
friends with Mary Pat Craite,
who owns Better Than Ever Inte-
riors. Craite encouraged Alana to
go into business, and she decided
to take that advice and run with it.
Vintage Charm features
shabby chic furniture, home
dcor, antiques, clothing, acces-
sories and other miscellaneous
items. It opened on Thursday,
July 17, and will be open 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. every Thursday through
Saturday and by appointment.
Alana has also worked on wed-
ding decorations and is available
for custom painting.
For more information, visit
the Vintage Charm Interiors page
on Facebook or call 320-248-
1645.

Fire Department Report
Business Brief
Vintage Charm opens in The Den
by John Holler
Correspondent
One of Minnesotas greatest
resources is its plethora of
10,000-plus lakes. For outdoor
enthusiasts, whether they be on
lakes to swim, ski or fish, Min-
nesota is renowned for not only
its abundance of lakes, but the
quality of the water in the lakes.
However, that pristine quality of
Minnesota water is in jeopardy
from one a small, but dangerous
invasive species the zebra mus-
sel.
At the July 22 meeting of the
Wright County Board, the com-
missioners heard from Joe Jacobs
of the Wright County Soil and
Water Conservation District to
discuss the growing epidemic of
the spread of zebra mussels and
the damage they can do to lakes
once they get a stronghold.
We havent had any infesta-
tions in Wright County yet, but
there are serious concerns be-
cause zebra mussels spread fast
once they get into a lake and take
over, Jacobs said. Weve al-
ready seen what has happened in
Lake Minnetonka, Prior Lake
and several lakes in the Brainerd
area. The infestation of zebra
mussels has been growing and,
once they get into a lake, they
multiply and spread very
quickly.
The state has become so con-
cerned about the problem that, in
the last legislative session, mil-
lions of dollars in funding was
approved to combat zebra mussel
infestation. Wright County was
awarded $108,000 in funding for
2014 and $240,000 in 2015 to
address the issues. Counties have
been left to their own devices
how to utilize the money, but the
primary elements in the program
are a combination of education,
boat inspections, treatment and
having feet on the ground to fight
the zebra mussels.
The issue is a concern for
Wright County because water is
a resource in the county. There
are 59 public boat landings in the
county and that is how most
lakes get infested when a boat
carrying zebra mussels gets put
into the water and the mussels
detach from the boat and start the
process of multiplying and taking
over a lake. The 19 Wright
County lake associations have al-
ready joined in the fight. The
question now is how will the
money be spent? The price of
success or failure has big impli-
cations.
It has changed how we look
at water quality, Jacobs said. If
affects everyone from the recre-
ational use of lakes to property
values around lakes. There is a
lot at stake and there needs to be
a strong effort made to preserve
our lakes.
The board approved having
the Soil and Water Conservation
District assemble a list of parties
most directly involved to create a
committee/task force to assess
the issues and determine how
best to utilize the $350,000 the
county will receive over the next
18 months to wage war on zebra
mussels. The matter will be re-
turned to the board later this sum-
mer to discuss the plan of attack.
In other business, the board:
Awarded the bid for the con-
struction of a salt storage shed at
the highway departments Maple
Lake truck maintenance station
to Greystone Construction out of
Shakopee in the amount of
$109,720.
Announced three meeting
cancellations well in advance to
keep issues from arising. There
are five Tuesdays in two remain-
ing months of 2014 (September
and December), which require
one of those meetings to be can-
celed. The board selected the
Sept. 2 meeting because it comes
on the Tuesday after Labor Day
and the Dec. 9 meeting, which
coincides with the Association of
Minnesota Counties annual
meeting. The board also decided
to cancel the Nov. 11 board meet-
ing because it falls on Veterans
Day and the county courthouse
will be closed.
Authorized signatures on an
emergency fund grant program
from the Department of Public
Safety for use in the county attor-
neys victim/witness program.
No county matching funds were
required for the grant.
Referred to the personnel
committee a highway department
request to fill a highway mainte-
nance position that has remained
vacant under the countys hiring
policy.
Set a capital improvement
finance committee for 10:30 a.m.
following the Aug. 5 board meet-
ing to discuss the countys capital
improvement plan and what proj-
ects will receive priority for po-
tential funding from the capital
improvement account of turned
back budget money to the
county.

Wright County
Human Services
receives $5,000
United Way grant
The Wright County Human
Services Special Needs Fund has
received a $5,000 grant from the
Wright County Area United Way.
The grant will help replenish
the Special Needs Fund, previ-
ously called the Good Samaritan
Fund, to help fulfill the needs of
individuals and families when they
have exhausted resources from the
county, community and volunteer
organizations. The lack of such re-
sources motivated the agency to
develop the fund. Funds are used
on a one-time basis for clients who
have no other place to turn.
Many of the people who are
helped are on some form of insur-
ance or assistance; however,
county programs do not fund all
the needs, such as some medical
needs and the incidentals that peo-
ple often need to meet their daily
living requirements. In some
cases, it helps a child from being
placed in foster care or it may help
a senior citizen get some everyday
essentials they need to live.
The American Society of
Crime Laboratory Directors/
Laboratory Accreditation Board
has accredited the Tri County
Regional Forensic Laboratory in
the disciplines of:
1. Biology (DNA)
2. Drug Chemistry, Toxicol-
ogy (Alcohol Testing), and
3. Latent Prints
The Tri County Regional
Forensic Lab was a vision devel-
oped by former sheriffs Bruce
Andersohn of Anoka County,
Bruce Anderson of Sherburne
County and Gary Miller of
Wright County in 2006. The
three sheriffs recognized at the
time the growing reliance on
forensic science evidence and
sought to better meet the needs of
their citizens.
Through a tremendous
amount of research, planning and
development, the Tri County Re-
gional Forensic Laboratory be-
came a reality with the support
and cooperation of the members
of the three county boards of
commissioners and the three
original sheriffs. The Tri County
Lab officially opened for busi-
ness in February 2008 in the
Anoka County Sheriffs Office
Crime Lab that was housed in the
lower level of the Anoka County
Jail at that time. The Tri County
Lab moved into its new facility
in the new Anoka County Sher-
iffs Office in December of 2009.

Forensic Lab now

Heres How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into
nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must
fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in
which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already
provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier
it gets to solve the puzzle!

Eight vie for Fairest of the Fair
Eight area girls are competing
for the title of 2014 Wright County
Fairest of the Fair Ambassador, in-
cluding former Maple Lake Am-
bassador candidates Miranda
Jordan, Holly Jo Parchem,
Heather Schlueter and Maria
Zaske. Candidates representing
other Wright County communities
are Amy Marquette, Chelsea Men-
shausen, Morgan Pfleghaar and
Emily Wydo.
Miranda Jordan
Parents: Bill and Brenda Jordan
of Maple Lake.
Why did you decide to become
an ambassador candidate, and
why are you a good candidate?
I decided to become a candidate
when I ran for Maple Lake Ambas-
sador and realized I didnt know
much about the town itself, and
thats important for being an am-
bassador.
When I heard about Fairest of the
Fair, I thought I would be a great
representative. I go to the fair every
year, and Im willing to try the new
events that come in. I feel like
being a candidate would be a fun
adventure and a great way to make
new friends.
Tell us about yourself and your
goals and ambitions.
I have three brothers and one sis-
ter. I currently live with my parents.
I work at Buffalo Hospital, and
Huikkos Bowling and Entertain-
ment.
During my free time, I enjoy
writing, dancing, and making
videos. I really like water sports,
and hope to attempt to surf, at some
point.
I enjoy being around animals,
and would like to raise a tiger or
fox.
I graduated from Maple Lake
High School with the class of
2013. I plan on continuing my
schooling and have a career in film.
For now, I plan on enjoying my
time as a candidate and, hopefully,
Fairest of the Fair ambassador.
List all the school clubs, organ-
izations, hobbies, and commu-
nity activities you participate in.
Buffalo Community Theater,
Maple Lake Community Theater,
drama, speech, soccer, church
sports camp coach, Special
Olympics volunteer, Buffalo
triathalon volunteer, and Maple
Lake Library.
Holly Jo Parchem
Parents: Mark and Dana Dagen
of Maple Lake.
I decided to become an ambas-
sador candidate because I ran for
Maple Lake Ambassador, and I
love what you get to do with your
community. I love to help people
out when they need it, and like
meeting new people.
I am an outside person; I love
fishing and hunting, anything that
involves water and working, as
well as meeting new people.
I currently work at Maurices, and
plan to keep working there while
attending St. Cloud Technical and
Community College. Im still un-
decided in my major, but I would
like to go into the medical field.
Swimming, tubing, boating,
hunting, volleyball, band, march-
ing band, school volleyball, let-
tered in band, B honor roll,
babysitting, and helping my uncle
milk cows.
Heather Schlueter
Parents: Greg Schlueter and Cyn-
thia Schlueter of Buffalo.
sador candidate because I recently
ran for another ambassador pro-
gram and did not get crowned. It
was a wonderful experience and I
had a lot of fun, and would love to
continue to pursue the goal to rep-
resent a program.
I am a good candidate because I
present myself well, and I am a
well-spoken public speaker. I am
also a good candidate because I am
a great people person and enjoy
representing and being a part of a
team and programs.
My goals and ambitions would
definitely have to include graduat-
ing from college with a minimum
of a four-year degree in elementary
education.
I also aspire to continue my
music career, whether that be
marching band or concert band I
would love to do that.
One day, I want to become an el-
ementary teacher, and possibly a
music director.
I would say that a future goal of
mine would be to travel the world,
and to help those in other countries.
Gymnastics, 12 years; two years
high school captain; band, eight
years; concert band, pep band,
marching band, football cheerlead-
ing, three years; Maple Lake-An-
nandale MAGA gymnastics coach,
two years; Maple Lake Ambassa-
dor Program candidate; fishing,

and being with friends. I also re-
ceived several awards in gymnas-
tics and band.
Maria Zaske
Parents: Kevin and Cheryl Zaske
of Maple Lake.
Ever since I was a little girl, I
looked up to the past queens,
princesses, and ambassadors. I
would love to have the chance to
be one of the girls I have looked up
to.
I have spent many days at many
Wright County Fairs over the
years, experiencing the various ac-
tivities the fair has to offer.
I am a good candidate for Fairest
of the Fair because I am kind, in-
telligent, reasonable, and a passion-
ate person. I will carry myself and
represent the fair proudly. Im
comfortable when speaking to
crowds and individuals. I have had
many fun experiences at the fair,
and I would love to represent the
values, opportunities, and the pos-
itive attributes that the fair has to
offer.
I am one of three children. My
brother, David, is 21 years old; and
my sister, Anna, is 12. I have lived
all my life in Maple Lake, and I re-
cently graduated from Maple Lake
High School. While attending
MLHS, I also attended St. Cloud
State University as a post second-
ary enrollment option, along with
taking college courses at MLHS.
Through this program, I was able
to complete more than a year of
college.
We live on a hobby farm on the
outskirts of Maple Lake with four
loving dogs, many fun-loving cats
and kittens, as well as chickens,
pigs, and cows.
For work, I have had many vari-
ous babysitting and nanny posi-
tions. I was a nanny full-time for a
family of three children during past
summer vacations and school
breaks.
After obtaining my Red Cross
lifeguard and CPR certifications, I
started to work for Buffalo Com-
munity Education as a lifeguard.
During this time, I also worked
to obtain my water safety instructor
certificate. For the past year, I have
been teaching Red Cross swim-
ming lessons, along with lifeguard-
ing for them. I have taught a variety
of different levels and ages of
swimming lessons, including par-
ent/child and preschool.
I also volunteer as a lifeguard for
various organizations, such as
Maple Lake Girl Scouts and at
local triathalons.
My future goals include attending
the University of Wisconsin-River
Falls in its dual-degree program
that allows me to obtain a degree
in chemistry, and then continue my
education at University of Min-
nesota and obtain an engineering
degree. I currently am looking at a
degree in chemical engineering.
While attending the universities,
I plan to continue my experiences
with the theater departments,
working in production, and, hope-
fully, as a cast member along with
set production crew.
Upon completion of my degrees,
I would like to work in a technical
field that looks at the usage of ma-
terials in beneficial applications
without harm to the environment.
My plan is to be able to continue to
live in the area of Maple Lake, or
return to the Maple Lake/Wright
County area to raise a family.
The awards/activities I have par-
ticipated in include: Maple Lake
Senior Class Student of Excellence
Award for 2014, National Honor
Society (grades seven through 12),
high school academic letter award
recipient (grades seven through
12), speech participant (grades
seven through 12), three-time letter
recipient, track participant (grades
nine through 12), and two-time let-
ter recipient, drama plays and one-
act play in 11th and 12th grade as
a member of cast, set crew, and
production; student director for
2013 one-act play, Do Not Go
Gentle; student director for 2013
fall play, Dracula; Girl Scouts
(grades seven through 12), senior
Girl Scout and student leader
(grades nine through 12).
I am involved in many commu-
nity activities, which include
American Cancer Society Relay
for Life, volunteer for buffalo
triathalon, family collection and
display of two-cylinder John Deere
tractors, support local swim event
with lifeguarding, event timeing or
what may be needed for swim-
ming.
In my free time, I enjoy interact-
ing with my pets, watching movies
with my family, helping around the
house, and swimming when it is
warm enough outside.
I also enjoy cooking, boating,
fishing, biking, going for walks in
my neighborhood, and spending
time with my friends.
Amy Marquette
Parents: Perry and Lisa Mar-
quette of Buffalo.
I have participated in multiple ac-
tivities, growing up at the fair.
When I was a child, I competed in
the diaper derby and kiddie tractor
pull.
Over the years, I have also shown
in 4-H, open class, and FFA. I have
expanded my role in keeping the
fair alive by volunteering at the
FFA barnyard, and as a junior
sheep superintendent and 4-H am-
bassador.
Being an ambassador for the
Wright County Fair offers unique
growth, educational, and leader-
ship experiences. I love that am-
bassadors for the fair promote
community involvement through-
out Minnesota.
With my outgoing and hardwork-
ing personality, along with my vast
knowledge about the fair, I would
be able to positively and effectively
promote the fair throughout the
community.
I live on a small family farm and
I am the youngest in my family. I
have two older brothers, and one
older sister.
I graduated from Buffalo High
School this spring with honors. I
was very active in the music and
agriculture programs.
I will be attending Ridgewater
College to get my associates de-
gree in veterinary technology in the
fall. I then plan on attending Ari-
zona University to continue my ed-
ucation in animal genetics.
My dream job would be to work
for the United States Department
of Agriculture or Genetics Lab, de-
veloping efficient and disease-re-
sistant livestock.
4-H County Ambassador, several
awards from the state fair for 4-H
entries, as well as national 4-H

Chelsea Menshausen
Parent: Tamara Menshausen of
Monticello.
sador candidate because my pas-
sion is connecting with, and
meeting, new people. This oppor-
tunity allows me to do just that.
My bubbly and personable atti-
tude, my ambitious drive, and my
ability to make a strangers day
brighter make me a strong, excel-
lent candidate.
I am going to be a senior at Mon-
ticello High School. I have a strong
passion for meeting and helping all
people; new and old friends, and
strangers.
I have dreams to one day become
a psychotherapist. Psychology has
always fascinated me, and, as I am
beginning to pursue my college
plans, it has continued to be my
number-one interest. I am confi-
dent that it is the right path for me.
I currently work at the outlet mall
in Albertville in retail. I love work-
ing with people directly and enjoy
the challenge of making some-
ones day, or just making them
smile.
This past month, I attended a
womens leadership workshop in
Nevada, MO at Cottey College. I
took classes on etiquette, present-
ing oneself online, and team build-
ing.
I am the Monticello Ambassador
at Aeropostale, which means I
have been chosen to be a role
model for new employees and that
I represent the company in my
school and community.
I also work at Claires, which I
really enjoy.
My friends are very important to
me, so I do consider them to be part
of my weekly schedule. I can never
be too busy for a friend.
Morgan Pfleghaar
Parent: Carol Pfleghaar of Buf-
falo.
I decided to become an ambass-
dor candidate because of all the fun
things and events they get to do,
and people they get to meet.
I love getting to know people and
after doing the many different
events within and outside of
Wright County, I believe Im a
good candidate, because I will
work hard, have fun, and represent
Wright County the best I can.
I was raised an only child by a
single parent in Buffalo. I was born
in Wisconsin, but we moved when
I was 1 year old.
I am a graduate of Buffalo High
School, and will be attending St.
Cloud State University this fall to
pursue a degree in social work. My
goal is to help children and families
who have rough lives find better
opportunities and grow in a safer,
happier environment. It doesnt
matter religion, race, or status
all I want to do is keep/help people
from suffering.

Emily Wydo
Parent: Karen Wydo of Monti-
cello.
I decided to become a candidate
after running for Miss Monticello.
I enjoy being out in my community
and meeting new people. I am
proud of the county I live in, and
its fair.
I have experience now as a can-
didate, and feel prepared for what
is in store as a candidate or ambas-
sador. Two of my passions I feel
strongly about are volunteering and
being involved in organizations.
Id be honored to be an ambas-
sador for the fair and Wright
County.
I am a Christian who takes her
faith seriously. I love kids and
teaching Sunday school.
I read in my spare time and if Im
not reading, I am outside running,
biking, and hiking. I enjoy getting
dirty and being outdoors in any
way possible.
In my sophomore year, I strug-
gled with anorexia, but luckily, and
in a hard-fought manner, I beat it.
I will be attending the University
of Minnesota for psychology and
nutrition, to help with eating disor-
ders after graduating.
In high school, I participated in
Teens Against Tobacco Use, Stu-
dents Against Drunk Driving, stu-
dent council, National Honor
Society, Fellowship for Christian
Athletes, basketball, and softball. I
currently help lead my youth group
and teach Sunday school.
I received honors at graduation
for my grades, and a $1,000 schol-
arship from my community.
I recently attended a 10-day mis-
sion trip to Philadelphia, where we
helped the homeless and their food
initiative.
I lettered in academics all four
years of high school, and
band/music letters for two years.
Volunteering and helping others
can be included as one of my hob-
bies, as well.

The savvy shopper knows
there is no reason to pay full
price if you don't have to. Tim-
ing is everything when bargain
hunting, and with a little pa-
tience, most people can find
deep discounts on items that
might have broken the bank just
a few weeks prior.
Shopping with coupons often
requires clipping the coupon and
then trying to match it up with a
discounted price being offered
by the store to maximize your
savings. All of this has to be
done prior to the coupon's expi-
ration date. Many veteran bar-
gain hunters prefer to shop
seasonally, instead. This means
waiting until stores put items on
clearance or run large sales.
Knowing the best times to buy
certain products can save con-
sumers hundreds or even thou-
sands of dollars over the course
of a year. The following is a list
of items and the seasons during
which those types of items are
most likely to be sold at a dis-
count.
Appliances
The new models for most ap-
pliances arrive in the autumn.
Therefore, most retailers are
looking to clear out older inven-
tory over the winter. Between
October and January, expect to
find deep discounts on major ap-
pliances. If shoppers can wait to
replace an older unit, they will
be rewarded with very good
prices.
Carpet and Flooring
Prior to the holiday season,
many homeowners are busy
making home improvements so
their home is welcoming and
pristine for visiting guests. After
the holidays end, however, such
DIY projects often get placed on
the back burner. To boost activ-
ity, home improvement stores
usually cut prices on carpet and
flooring during the month of
January.
Furniture
Although furniture is usually
updated in stores biannually,
many furniture retailers also run
sales close to major holidays. In-
dependence Day and the rest of
July is a popular time for sales.
Boats
Although there are those who
argue that the best deals are had
at area boat shows, others rec-
ommend visiting dealerships be-
tween January and March to get
last year's models as boat retail-
ers are making room for new in-
ventory.
Garden Tools
Although many homeowners
still may be cleaning up from
winter storms and shoveling
snow, those who want to get
ready for spring can go shop-
ping for garden tools in March.
Electronics
Economists urge American
and Canadian consumers to pur-
chase major electronics in the
spring, notably April. This is
when the Japanese fiscal year
ends, and many Japanese com-
panies coincide the release of
new models at this time of year.
Therefore, older models might
be slashed in price. Those inter-
ested in a computer may want to
wait until August, when stores
cut prices to coincide with back-
to-school season. Shoppers in-
terested in televisions should do
their shopping in January, when
products are discounted prior to
the Super Bowl.
Automobiles
Consumers interested in pur-
chasing previously owned cars
can shop in April. For those who
are waiting to purchase a new
vehicle, October is the best time
to buy because this is when deal-
erships receive new inventory
and are looking to clear out last
year's models.
Summer Seasonal Products
Lawnmowers, air condition-
ers, patio furniture and pool
equipment typically go on sale
around September and October.
Stores are switching over to
their fall merchandise and are
looking to clear out any rem-
nants of summertime, even if the
weather is still quite warm.
Some stores do this as early as
August, when they are already
getting ready to make room for
Halloween and Christmas dis-
plays.
Swimsuits
Swimsuits go on sale in Au-
gust to make room for fall acces-
sories. Although some people
will argue there is never a good
time to go bathing suit shopping,
if a good price is a requirement,
then August is the time to do so.
Weddings
It is well-known that the sum-
mer months are peak times for
weddings -- and expensive
prices. Budget-conscious cou-
ples can consider a November
wedding, where costs may be
much less and vendors not in
much demand. Try to have the
wedding prior to the holiday
season, when catering halls start
booking rooms for Christmas
parties.
Knowing when to buy items
during the year can add up to
considerable savings.

At Maple Lake Library's Young Readers Storytime
Monday, July 28, the group listened to two stories written
by Minnesota authors.
The first was Phyllis Roots "Rattletrap Car, a silly
story about a trip to the beach with a car that just won't
"Go, Go, Go" that kept them giggling.
They used their imaginations to show how to get to the
beach with everything from an acorn car to bunkbeds.
The second story was Mary Casanovas "One-Dog
Can-oe, a funny story about a little girl who ends up with
all kinds of critters along for a canoe ride.
They then designed a boat and experimented with just
how many passengers could be put into it before it sank.
Some had close to 100.
Young readers who attended the event were Charlie
Peterson, Brynn Ortiz, Olive Anderson, Caleb Hagen,
Kiara Anderson, Evan Geyen, Savannah Geyen, Kalli Hen-
nen and Katie Hagen.

drawn from each age group and
the winners will receive a $10 gift
card for Buffalo Books.

ers meets at 11 a.m. on the second
Thursday of each month through

July 30, 2014

Sports Writer
The Maple Lake Lakers
wrapped up Class B Week,
hosting two strong Class B teams
in preparation for the upcoming
Region 12C tournament in
Maple Lake.
The Lakers also found out
they are playing Cokato in the
first round of the tournament
with the conclusion of a five-
team playoff to determine the
No. 8 seed.
The Region 12C tournament
starts on Wednesday, July 30, and
runs until Aug. 10. It is a double-
elimination tournament with
games played every day from
Wednesday through Sunday.
The Lakers need two wins to
qualify for the state tournament
and four wins to take the top
seed, and top draft position, for
Region 12C.
St. Michael Saints 5
Maple Lake Lakers 9
Maple Lake welcomed the top
Class B team in the North Star
League to Irish Stadium as part
of a three-team, round-robin set
of exhibition games.
The Lakers welcoming com-
mittee was led by Mitch Wurm
on the mound, greeting the Saints
with two scoreless innings.
St. Michael did not stay silent
long; however, and put together
a four-run third inning to take an
early lead.
Maple Lake got one back in
the bottom of the inning, stop-
ping the Saints from building too
much momentum. The Lakers
took control in the fourth by
holding St. Michaels offense be-
fore batting around (and then
some) to score six runs and take
a 7-4 lead.
Wurm settled in and shut
down the Saints for another four
innings, finishing with eight in-
nings pitched and giving up four
runs off eight hits and three
walks with five strikeouts.
The offense put up two more
in the sixth to solidify their lead.
Ben Jungers finished up the
ninth inning, giving up an un-
earned run off one hit, one walk,
and a Laker error, their only error
of the game.
Brian Redemske had a great
night with three hits, including
his fifth double of the year and
stealing two bases. Todd Fuller
and Dusty Decker hit their sev-
enth and third doubles of the
year, respectively. Decker also
tallied his ninth hit-by-pitch to
take a commanding team lead in
that statistical category.

Moorhead Brewers 9
Maple Lake Lakers 2
The Lakers hosted Fan Appre-
ciation Day on Sunday, drawing
a large crowd for their last regu-
lar season exhibition game of the
season.
Todd Fuller started on the
mound against his former team
and the Brewers gave him every-
thing they had, scoring eight runs
in the first four innings. Fuller
finished a scoreless fifth before
Jungers entered in relief. Jungers
gave up one run in one and a
third innings before Brian Rus-
sell was brought in to finish the
game.
The Lakers offense could not
get much going against the ace
for Moorhead, a team ranked
third overall in Class B. Matt
Bergstom hit the wall for a dou-
ble late in the game and Chad
Raiche hit one over the wall to
score the only two runs of the
game for Maple Lake.

The Lakers play the Cokato
Kings on Wednesday at 7:30
p.m. at Irish Stadium. If the Lak-
ers win, theyll play Saturday at
4 p.m. and, if they lose, they play
Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Maple Lake 13U AA team
brought home the consolation
championship from the 24 Team
13U AA Minnesota Sports Feder-
ation State Tournament hosted in
Marshall from July 25-27.
The Irish drew a very tough
Robbinsdale Armstrong team for
their first game in pool play. They
were able to beat the eventual
third-place Raptors 6-2.
Maple Lake's second game of
pool play had them matched up
against the Prairie River Cy-
clones. The Irish took an early
lead, but were outdone by the Cy-
clones 13-5.
Now sitting with a 1-1 record
in pool play, the fate of the Irish
was in the hands of Prairie River
and Armstrong, as the outcome of
this game would determine which
bracket, championship or conso-
lation they would play in. The
young lads were hoping for a
Prairie River win or a high scor-
ing game, as the tie breaker was
runs allowed. Unfortunately, nei-
ther happened, Armstrong won a
5-3 game and the Irish were
forced into the consolation
bracket.
Maple Lake won the 8 a.m.
Sunday matchup against the
Northfield Raiders 13-3 with
strong hitting throughout the bat-
ting order, along with strong
pitching.
Next up for the Irish was the
Byron Bears, who had won their
first consolation bracket game 15-
0 over Bloomington. Maple Lake
continued with hot hitting up and
down the lineup and beat the
Bears 13-5.
This set up the consolation
championship Game with the
Rosemount Irish, who had beaten
the St. Michael-Albertville
Knights and Minneapolis Orange
to get this game. The hitting,
pitching and defense were stellar
for Maple Lake as they cruised to
a 9-2 win, highlighted by a two-
run home run by Ben Goelz, over
the 270' centerfield fence. Maple
Lake finished the season with a
10-2 Crow River League record
and 20-5 overall record. Fellow
Crow River League rivals, Glen-
coe-Silver Lake-Plato and
Hutchinson, battled for the State
Championship, with Glencoe-Sil-
ver Lake-Plato coming out as the
MSF State Champs.

BY THE NUMBERS
The following are the population figures currently being used by the
State Demographic Center for the projected populations of the cities and
townships in Wright County. The formula uses household estimates as
the basis for determining population and serves as the official population
numbers in between U.S. Census periods. The population projections
have been broken down by commissioner district. Because two commis-
sioners represent the City of St. Michael, the increase in population was
proportionally added equally to both districts using the figures from the
2010 census.

COUNTY TOTAL 124,700 128,459 +3,759
The population of a county
is divided by the number of
commissioners to arrive at a
base number average. No dis-
trict can be more than 10 per-
cent above or below that
number. If so, changes need to
be made to bring that district
within the mandated popula-
tion window.
In 2013, the estimated
growth in population in Wright
County was 1,328, with 493
(37 percent) coming in Dalei-
dens District 3, primarily
from the estimated growth in
Otsego. While it was a dispro-
portionate amount of growth,
District 3 was redistricted an-
ticipating that. Ten years ear-
lier, it was already apparent by
2004 that the populations of
the districts were getting out
of whack and would likely re-
sult in all five commissioners
being forced to run at the same
time. This time around, Dis-
trict 3 was intentionally made
the smallest district and it re-
mains as such.
The population of the five
commissioner districts remain
well within the parameters of
the population window.
The 2013 average commis-
sioner district population is
25,892 with the 10 percent
over/under requirements being
28,481 on the high side and
23,303 on the low side. Dis-
trict 1 (Pat Sawatzke) is cur-
rently the largest district at
27,774 and District 3 (Dalei-
den) is the smallest at 23,851.
As the county continues to
grow, especially in the area
along the I-94 corridor, the
county is prepared to be able
to absorb continued growth
while keeping all five commis-
sioner districts in line.
When we did redistricting,
we took those factors in
mind, Hiivala said. As
things stand, were looking
pretty good with the demogra-
phers numbers. They may not
be the most accurate we
dont really know the formula
the state demographer uses to
make the projections but
none of our cities or townships
disputed the figures, so they
must be doing something
right.

Aquatennial
Receiving accreditation is a
monumental task for any forensic
lab and this was a huge undertak-
ing for the members of the Tri
County Lab staff. The Minnesota
State Legislature enacted legisla-
tion this past session that makes ac-
creditation mandatory for all
publicly funded forensic laborato-
ries operating in the state begin-
ning in 2015. The recent success of
the Tri County Regional Forensic
Laboratory accreditation process
puts it ahead of the mandatory ac-
creditation statute.
It has been a long and arduous,
but cooperative process in attaining
lab accreditation and we are now
excited to reap the benefits for the
people we serve, Wright County
Sheriff Joe Hagerty said.
I want to thank our lab part-
ners, Sherburne and Wright coun-
ties and our own Anoka County
Board of Commissioners for their
support in reaching this historic
milestone, Anoka County Sheriff
James Stuart said. I especially
want to thank and congratulate
Laboratory Director Erchal
Springer, Quality Assurance Man-
ager Scott Ford and all the mem-
bers of each laboratory section
who have worked tirelessly to
make this happen.
I want to express my gratitude
and appreciation of the three re-
tired sheriffs and my county com-
missioners Petersen and
Schmiesing for their continued
support of the lab to provide the
best possible forensic and public
safety services to the citizens of
Sherburne County, Sherburne
County Sheriff Joel Brott said.
The international accreditation
of the Tri County Forensic Lab is
a significant milestone in the col-
laboration between Anoka, Sher-
burne and Wright counties,
Anoka County Board of Commis-
sioners Chair Rhonda Sivarajah
said. This designation confirms
our commitment to operate an ef-
fective, efficient and top-notch fa-
cility thats at the forefront of
serving citizens and seeking justice
for victims.
Accreditation
Sudoku
She then had an opportunity to
represent Maple Lake during the
Meet the Candidates event.
I dressed up as a Claddagh,
the sign of love, loyalty and friend-
ship, Aanerud said. I thought it
was a great representation of the
heritage of the town being Irish
and my morals. I tied those two
things together.
Dinner at Fogo de Chao and
the Torchlight Parade followed.
The Torchlight Parade was so
much fun, but my last parade ever
so it was tough to say goodbye,
Aanerud said.
Judging commenced on Thurs-
day morning, followed by another
boat cruise, where Aanerud was
paired with candidates from Pay-
nesville, Litchfield, Princeton and
Robbinsdale.
I met another girl named Lau-
ren and we became close right
away, Aanerud said.
At the 75th Anniversary Gala
and Commodores Party that
night, each candidate had a special
opportunity to crown a past
Aquatennial Queen.
Friday began with all the can-
didates appearing on Fox 9, where
they took part in the Friday morn-
ing dance-off after interviews with
a couple of the candidates.
Aaneruds Aquatennial experi-
ence came to a close with the coro-
nation Friday evening.
Its way different than the
Maple Lake coronation, she said.
We walked through in a synchro-
nized motion in our own patterns
and did our introductions.
While Aanerud admitted she
had been nervous for the Meet the
Candidates program, that experi-
ence helped her calm her nerves
before coronation.
I definitely got nervous before
Meet the Candidates, Aanerud
said. It was the first time doing
something that huge in front of
people. I got really nervous but
took a breath, calmed down, got
focused and just did it. It definitely
gave me more confidence going
into coronation. I thought, Ive
done this before, I can do it
again.
While she was not crowned
that night, she did see her room-
mate, Morgan Scheiller, of Cam-
bridge, crowned as an Aquatennial
princess, along with queen Laura
Swartz, of Willmar, and princess
Sonia Bordahl, of Northfield.
I know Laura pretty well,
too, Aanerud said. Shes a
sweetheart. They definitely picked
great girls.
Throughout the experience,
Aanerud said she improved her
public speaking skills to the point
of being confident speaking in
front of thousands of people. For
that reason, among others, she is
thankful.
Im grateful for the opportu-
nity Maple Lake gave me to fur-
ther myself even more and go to
the Aquatennial, where I learned a
lot about myself and other towns,
Aanerud said. It was a great op-
portunity that Id want anybody to
have.
Aanerud, the daughter of Mike
and Becky Aanerud, now spends
most of her time in northern Min-
nesota, where she will be entering
her second year at the University
of Minnesota-Duluth. She is work-
ing at St. Lukes Hospital and ma-
joring in biology and psychology
in hopes of becoming a physician
and traveling to Africa in the fu-
ture.
Lauryn Aanerud is shown at coronation with her sister,
Bethany, and parents, Mike and Becky Aanerud.

Thanks so much
to the Maple Lake
Ambassadors Organization,
MP Nexlevel, Maple Lake
American Legion, and the
City of Maple Lake for
the opportunity to
represent Maple Lake
at the Minneapolis
Aquatennial Celebration.
I came home with a
weeks worth of
lifelong memories.
