Extra DWI
enforcement
On a hot summer day, its easy
to throw back a few drinks while
enjoying the beach or fishing on
the dock, and its easy to forget
that driving home with a buzz is
drunk driving. As summer winds
down, the Wright County Sheriffs Office will be turning up the
heat on drunk drivers starting August 21 as deputies will be conducting extra DWI patrols
through September 7.
The enforcement is part of a
statewide effort with officers,
deputies and troopers from more
than 300 agencies working overtime with funding provided by
the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. The Minnesota Department of Public
Safety Office of Traffic Safety
(DPS-OTS) coordinates the
Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over
enforcement and education effort.

Vanna and I spotted three turkeys along the north side of Ney
Park last week. The were on the edge of the road and retreated
quickly into the standing corn. The same day I was driving by Punchochars pheasant farm on Spruce Ave. when a mink ran across
the road near Frank Hogans home. Another day a young pheasant
flew out of Potters bean field across from Ney Park. Neither I nor
my coffee drinking buddies have noticed any Possums this year
which is a good sign as they rob eggs from pheasant nests, but I did
see a road-kill young pheasant on County Road 8 near Silver Creek.
. . the pheasant roosters are quiet time this time of the year and
seldom are heard unless they are startled. . .

Some of my fishing friends suggested I must be fishing the wrong
lake, which I readily agreed to, hoping for a good hint only to find
out they were referring to the Bedford, Indiana group that was
pinched for taking nearly 700 crappies and sunfish over their limits.
They were fishing on Upper Cormorant Lake, west of Detroit
Lakes. The DNRs TIPs program led to an investigation and the
conservation officers found the evidence in the freezers inside the
groups cabins. If convicted, the six could be ordered to pay a fine,
plus $5 restitution for each fish and lose their fishing license for
three years. That could have bought a lot of lobster!

Ken Hennen and I took in the Friday nights hot and humid
Howard Lake-Delano baseball game which lasted over three hours
with Delano winning 12-9. HL defeated Loretto 3-2 Saturday and
won 13-3 over Delano for the Region Championship. Maple Lake
Laker pitchers drafted by the state tournament teams were Mitch
Wurm, Howard Lake; Todd Fuller and Chad Raiche, Delano; and
grow.
For 25 years, Wright County
has been growing on a rapid,
seemingly never-ending pace. As
Hiivala sees it, there is no reason
to believe that the county wont
continue to grow at a steady rate
for the not-too-distant future.
I deal with numbers, but the
population of the county is a
number that we have nothing to
do with at the county level, Hiivala said. In 2007, there was
only one city in the county with
a population of 10,000 Buffalo. Now we have four. As the
Twin Cities metro area continues
to expand, Wright County still
looks like somewhere they are
going to move toward. I dont
think theres any reason to think
that its going to slow down.
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 between U.S. Census periods. The population
projections have been broken
down by commissioner district.
Because two commissioners represent the City of St. Michael,
the increase in population was
proportionally added equally to
both districts using the figures
from the 2010 census, which
was 55.6 percent of the population in District 3 and 44.4 percent in District 4.

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Neil Dickenson
Question: What is the
penalty for driving around a barricade when a road is closed?
Answer: Minnesota State
Statute 160.2715 says, It shall
be unlawful to drive over,
through, or around any barricade,
fence, or obstruction erected for
the purpose of preventing traffic
from passing over a portion of a
highway closed to public travel
or to remove, deface, or damage
any such barricade, fence, or obstruction. The violation is a misdemeanor, with a fine up to
$1,000 and/or 90 days in jail.
When roads are closed, they
are closed for a reason. Safety is
our top priority, not only for the
motoring public, but also for law
enforcement, snow plows, construction workers, and other responding personnel that may be
providing services on those
closed roads.
ROAD CLOSED TO THRU
TRAFFIC or LOCAL TRAFFIC
ONLY tells you that you NEED
to take a different route and
should only cross the barrier if
you have no other option to reach
your destination within the restricted area. For example, if the
driveway to your home, worksite, or a friend or relatives home
can only be accessed on the restricted roadway, you are

Because pheasants are difficult to count, techniques used
to determine population estimates for other wildlife species
dont work with pheasants. The
annual August roadside surveys do not provide a total census, but rather an index of
relative abundance. This information is then used to monitor
changes in the pheasant population over time. The results of
the survey are reported in early
September and provide a good
forecast of the upcoming
pheasant hunting season.

Everyone loves a pet and that is just what we found out at Summer Storytime on August 11. Twenty-five children
brought in pictures and stuffed animals and told stories about the pets that they have at home. Marie Mavencamp
read a story about Clifford and his friends, and one about Dewey, the library cat. The children then did some fun
movement activities with their pets before decorating a pet fish with magic scratch paper. After the group picture,
the children received pet food of graham cracker doggie bones.
These children attended: Ellie Ogram, Rachel and Howard Rasset, Charlie, Lauren and Kate Peterson, Kenna Hennen, Emma McAlpine, Ella Lidberg, Elijah Dorse, Tessa Dahl, Clark and Oliver Hawkinson, Sophia and Alexander Norberg, Aubrey and Clifton Jude, Ryder Dettwiler, Peytyn and Colten Draeger, Max Brandstrom, Hazel Jacobson, Isabelle,
Gunnar and Axel Melgaard.

School Board
continued from page 3
Paumen said the board has a
responsibility to its constituents
and their wishes. If we do nothing and we eventually spend it
down to zero, he said, its
going to be a lot harder to answer those questions of Why
did you let this happen? If we
dont give voters the option to
say, Hey, we dont want to let
that happen, its going to be a lot
harder to answer those questions
later.
Once a consensus was
reached to propose the levies,
discussion turned to the amount
of time they might run (each can
be approved for up to 10 years)
and whether an inflationary increase should be tied to the operating levy. Board members
were in agreement on a 10-year
time span, and the inflationary
increase was ultimately rejected.
A capital projects levy would increase or decrease as the districts tax capacity rises and falls.
The ballot will consist of two
2013, driver inattention/distraction was the leading contributing factor of crashes involving
teen drivers at 20.5 percent.)
The greatest crash risk occurs during the first months of
teens driving independently. (In
2013, driver inexperience contributed to 12.9 percent of single-vehicle crashes involving
drivers ages 16-19, compared to
just 4.1 percent of drivers ages
20-23.)

As part of its commitment to

up to 15 - $600.00 scholarships
for this year. These scholarships
are due to the coordinated efforts
of the 87sheriffs in the State of
Minnesota and the many community members who are auxiliary
members of the organization.
The members of the MSA
give special recognition to the financial needs of students attending the peace officer skills course,
or one of the two- or four-year
law enforcement degree college
programs. In order to qualify, students must have completed at
least one year of a two-year program or two years of a four-year
program. Students meeting these
criteria are invited to obtain a
scholarship application form online at www.mnsheriffs.org.
Please fill out the application and
deliver or mail it to the Wright
County Sheriffs Office before
October 15th.

The Catch
by Jeff Plattner
2015 College Football
Preview (Part II)
After covering the ACC, Big
12, Pac 12, and SEC in Part I of
our preview, well turn our attention to the Big Ten, other
teams to consider, other players
to keep an eye on throughout the
2015 college football season,
and of course, the college football playoff; who makes it and
who wins it? Lets get started.
Big Ten
East Champ: Ohio State
(12-0) The Buckeyes have three
of the best QBs in the nation,
one of whom will play WR, the
best RB, the best DE, and
well, you get the picture. Its not
looking like a very strong year
in the Big Ten, so if Urban
Meyer and the Buckeyes can get
past Michigan State, at home,
on November 21st, theres no
reason they cant run the table
all the way to the college football playoff. Once there, Urban
Meyer would have a shot at history. Another title and Meyer
would become just the fourth
coach in D-I history with four
championships and the only
coach with two championships
playoff fate.
Other Notable Teams
Notre Dame (10-2) For
Notre Dame fans, such as myself, the career of QB Everett
Golson was a rollercoaster ride
from day one. However, with
Golson off to Florida State, the
job is now Malik Zaires and if
the Irish can limit their giveaways, they have the talent to
compete with anyone in the nation. Three starters return (from
injury and academic issues) to a
defense that was embarrassed
late in 2014, giving up 41.5ppg
during a 2-5 stretch, after surrendering just 12ppg over a 5-0
start. Anchoring that defense is
All-American LB Jaylon Smith.
Offensively, Zaire will have
plenty of weapons to choose
from, as five returning WRs had
more than 20 receptions, with
Will Fuller leading the way (76
rec. 1,094 yards, 15 TDs). Notre
Dame will know its playoff fate
by mid-October, when it will
have already faced Georgia
Tech, Clemson, and USC.
Boise State (12-0) Gone is
stud RB, Jay Ajayi, and his
2,358 yards from scrimmage
and 32 TDs, but the Broncos return 17 starters from a team that
won the Fiesta Bowl last year.
Boise States only problem is
they dont play anybody in the
regular season. With the college
football playoff in place, its

Unmentioned Heisman
Hopefuls
Quarterbacks
Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett (Ohio State) Whoever
wins the job will undoubtedly
be among the Heisman frontrunners. Their combined 2014
numbers were 3,694 yards passing and 41 TDs, as well as 1,234
yards rushing and 12 TDs.
Dak Prescott (Mississippi
State) A duel-threat, Prescott
led the Bulldogs to a 9-0 start
before dropping three of their
final four. He accounted for
nearly 4,500 yards and 41 TDs.
Jared Goff (California) Cal
may not be a great team, but
Goff can fling it. He finished
2014 just shy of 4,000 yards
passing and 35 TDs.
Running Backs
Ezekiel Elliot (Ohio State)
My 2015 Heisman pick, Elliot
was unreal, rushing for 696
yards and 8 TDs during the
Buckeyes three-game run to the
Im no seamstress, I cant
make a wedding dress or fancy
things like that, but I can sew
these, she said. And my family thinks its pretty neat.
In fact, it was her husband,
Don, who encouraged her to
submit her creations to the fair.
He said he wanted me to do
it because he was proud, she
said.
But Grant doesnt sew her
dresses for the recognition.
When you see the pictures
of those kids on the Little
Dresses for Africa website, and
they are so happy in those
dresses, it makes you feel good,
that in your own small little
way you are helping. Every person makes a difference, she
said.

Drunk Driving,
a Sobering Reality
More than 25,000 drivers are
arrested for DWI in Minnesota
each year. Those alarming numbers average out to nearly three
DWI arrests per hour throughout
the state
In the last five years (2010
2014), there were 479 drunk
driving-related traffic deaths in
Minnesota and 88 people were
killed in 2014 alone.
DWI Consequences
Loss of license for up to a
Definitions
Driving While Impaired
(DWI) is a violation for driving
under the influence of alcohol.
Alcohol-related: any evidence of alcohol detected in a
driver, pedestrian or bicyclist.
Impaired-related: any driver,
pedestrian or bicyclist with a
blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) of .08 or above.
Drunk-driving-related: any
driver with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or
above.
The enhanced DWI enforcement campaign is a component
of the states Toward Zero
Deaths (TZD) program. A primary vision of the TZD program
is to create a safe driving culture
in Minnesota in which motorists
support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting
safe and smart driving behavior.
TZD focuses on the application
of four strategic areas to reduce
crashes education, enforcement, engineering, and emergency medical and trauma
response.
