Dee Ann Fink

special education teacher
I am from the Delano/Loretto
area and went to Delano Schools
K-12. After high school I worked
for United Airlines for four years
as a flight attendant in Chicago
and New York. I then moved to
South Dakota after getting married and went back to school at
Dakota State University. I have
taught elementary special education in South Dakota and Minnesota.
The most exciting part of my
job is seeing the excitement on
students faces when they learn
something new. I believe learning should be challenging yet
fun.
My educational goals for the
new year is to establish positive
relationships with my students
and for them to see their own
progress through use of visual
graphs or charts.
My goals outside of work involves anything and everything
completed on our hobby farm my
husband and two sons bought last
summer, while enjoying it at the
same time. I would love to get
more animals. Right now we
have a horse, a pony, chicks, a
kitty, two dogs and a fish.

Three new faces at St. Tims School
Dave Manuel bought the building that would become

Manuels Department Store in 1965 from Paul Jude. The
Judes bought the building in 1914. Top: Bernard and Paul
Jude are pictured in front of RH Jude & Sons in the 1920s.

building will stay in the family despite Manuels move to
the old Maple Lake Floral building on Division Street this
week. Instead of selling it, she plans to lease it to another
business.

Once home to Manuels Department Store, the building at

57 Birch Avenue South in Maple
Lake is one of the longest running retail stores in the city.
Dave Manuel bought it in
1965 and although its appearance, merchandise and even
ownership has changed, it has
never once closed its doors.
Fifty years later, The Costume
Shoppe, owned by Manuels
daughter, Tricia, inhabits the
space and she is proud to say it
has become a destination spot for
people all over the area.
This week the more than 100year-old building will enter a
new phase in its existence when

Tricia moves her business into
the old floral shop building on
Division Street in Maple Lake.
Its a leap of faith for Tricia
who wont be selling the family
building, but leasing it out for
what she hopes is a business that
will continue to draw people into
downtown.
I once asked mom, how did
dad know he could do it, buy a
big building like this and fill it in
the little town of Maple Lake?
Tricia said. Mom said, he just
believed he could and youre a
lot like him.

Each new teacher was asked
to introduce herself, share what
she is looking forward to about
her new position at St. Tims and
talk a little about her goals for
the school year.
Kristine Kolles
3rd grade teacher
I grew up in the Maple
Lake/Monticello area. I attended St. Timothys Catholic
School as a child and graduated
from Monticello High School. I
completed my first two years of
college at Benedictine College
in Atchison, Kansas, and then
finished my degree at St. Cloud
State University, graduating in
2013.
The most exciting part of the
job is laughing, having fun, and
making memories with my students.
I have a couple of goals Im
working on for the upcoming
year. One of the goals I have for
the school year is to implement
new reading groups and the
other goal is getting prepared
for the birth of our second child
in December.
Lisa Hennen
preschool educator
I grew up in Kimball, and
returned to the area several
years ago. My husband and I are
the 3rd generation of his family
to reside on the family farm. We
have a 10-year-old son, a
spunky puppy, and a farmyard
full of animals. I graduated from
college in 2002 with a degree in
American sign language/English interpreting and worked as
a nationally certified freelance
interpreter for over a decade.
During that time, I also worked
for the Minnesota Department
of Human Services as the interpreter coordinator in Central
MN and later as the West Central Consultant. During my
tenure with the state, I worked
diligently to ensure that families
with deaf and hard of hearing
children had access to support,
communication, and educational services. My work in
early intervention services provided me with a deep appreciation for the importance of a
childs early development. I re-
turned to college and earned a

degree in early childhood education. I have taught early childhood and family education
classes, kindergarten, and preschool.
I am very excited to be a part
of the St. Timothys community.
The atmosphere at the school is
incredibly supportive and welcoming. This is St. Timothys
inaugural year of preschool, and
I am honored to help grow and
develop the program.
Early childhood is such a fascinating and important time in a
childs life; all of our learning
takes place through play and exploration. In my opinion, this is
the best age to teach; every moment is filled with discovery.
My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment. I want our students
to love learning. I also want our
students to be prepared and have
the skills they will need to be
successful in kindergarten.

I finally got out on Maple Lake one morning last week and, while
I didnt bring any fish home for supper, I found out there was plenty
of activity. I was trolling with a nighty in 17-20 feet of water and
would catch sunfish, and crappies. Some would have been keepers,
but only one 11 inch crappie met my self imposed 8 inch minimum.
The fishing grapevine told me walleye anglers may want to consider
Cedar Lake. That might be my next early morning outing considering

Postmaster Ed Trager showed me a trail camera photo of a buck
with its six points still in velvet from the Appleton area where he
plans to bow hunt this fall with his son, also a bow hunter. He commented about seeing a covey of pheasants out there and while they
were building a the stand a buck was watching them. But right now
hes thinking more about the duck and goose season (Sept. 26th)
which he enjoys along the Pomme De Tarre river. Vanna and I saw
the resident deer family on the township road below Jerry Carlsons
house. The twin fawns spots have disappeared and theyre growing.

the pheasant numbers are up 42 percent statewide according to our
Mitchell, SD resident source, Don Curtis, who was elated with the
report. Maple Lake hunters who favor the Huron area will be pleased
to know their numbers will be up 49% from a year ago. In 2014 the
count was 2.92 per mile compared to 4.02 this year. We hunted the
Watertown area, up 67%, for number of years after initially hunting
Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Neil Dickenson
Question: With the law of
$300 fines in construction zones,
I have a question. I know the
white and black speed limit sign
is the legal speed limit. Are orange signs supposed to be advisory or warning signs? Can you
get a ticket for going the speed of
the white sign when there is also
some orange signs posted? Ive
seen some construction zones
with white and orange signs
posted 55mph and then some orange signs with 35mph speed
signs. What is the legal speed
limit?
Answer: If you are cited for
speeding in a marked and posted
construction zone, the amount of
the fine is $300, and that does not
include other fees that will be at-
tached.
The white speed limit signs
are the official regulatory sign.
The orange signs serve as a
warning; even though they are
not regulatory, they are intended
to provide clear instructions to
help you drive safely. So if the
posted speed limit is 55 mph, and
you see an orange sign indicating
35 mph, I would recommend
slowing to the indicated speed.
The orange and black speed limit
signs are not enforceable, but
you could be issued a citation for
failing to drive with due care in
the event of a crash or near collision.

Q: I need legal help but

what can I do?
A: It is best to be represented
by an attorney in legal matters
particularly if your family, freedom or property are at issue in a
court case. If you find that you
just cant afford an attorney there
are resources available. First,
you have the option to represent
yourself this is called arguing

to follow the rules of court
whether or not they represent
themselves. The Minnesota Judicial Branch has a self-help

serves as a general warning.
Black and White: Black and
white traffic signs provide posted
regulations (i.e., speed limits).
Orange: Orange signals construction time. If you see an orange traffic sign, you will likely
encounter construction or road
maintenance ahead.
Brown: Brown traffic signs
reference local recreation areas
or scenic points of interest.
Blue: Blue stands for guidance. Blue traffic signs often
offer information to assist motorists.
Minnesota signs, signals, and
pavement markings conform to
the national standards.

better in South Dakota, but bare in mind its still 30% below the 10
year average. Minnesotas bear hunting season opened Sept. 1 and
hunter are asked to avoid shooting those with collars. Most of them
are in northwestern Minnesota near the Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area and the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge. There are also
some radio-collared bears in and around Camp Ripley, north of Grand
Rapids and near the Cloquet Forestry Station. Officials say taking a
radio-collared bear is legal because in some situations, hunters may
not be able to see the collar or ear tags.

Committee
The Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
Granddaughters and Daughter were in Wisconsin. We decided to go there to see them
and to get away from the hustle
and bustle of retirement for a
few days. We are aged and decrepit, so we thought leaving
early would be wise. Also, it
would be an event to remember,
like Wife's ascent on a rocket
launching tower or my day on a
submarine. Dissimilar, but
memorable nonetheless.
To add to the mystique, we
chose to pick a motel at random,
near the Dells. The clerk at one
of the two motels we declined
admitted the rooms were absurdly expensive and many people had declined. Finally we
found one that was only moderately absurd, because an acquaintance had said a room in
Manhattan would be four hundred clams.
Go in the back door, the clerk
said, second floor. On the way
we saw a gentleman sitting on
the sidewalk drinking from a
paper bag. Then we noticed an
arm sticking out repeatedly
from behind the back wall of the
building exercising. A little odd,
but we went in, through a locking door blocked open with a
rock.
Finding room 230, we
swiped our card and entered,
dropping our bags. Great security, we thought, except for the
rock. We were met by a bat, circling the room, looking for a
way out.
Wife expressed dismay and
offered to return to the lobby
and get another room. There
were precious few rooms available in the town, even though
rates were outrageous, so options were scant. I offered to defeat the intruder while she left.
I reached into the room from
the hall and shut off the light.
The bat, being blind as a bat,
saw the hall light and swooped
out in front of me, and the door
Maple Lake
slammed and locked as I scampered away.

Wife returned with a key to
room 224. She'd been told bats
are protected in Wisconsin and
come in through the air conditioners. There's a rock holding
the door, though. Our bags were
inside 230. I went down to the
lobby to get 230 keys again.
Wife knew there were no bats in
230. We opted to take 230 and I
took 224 keys back to the lobby.
We settled in. The rest of the
night was uneventful, except for
the tennis shoes in the parking
spot next to mine, and the barefoot man in the stocking cap on
the grass talking on a cell
phone.
We stayed in Daughter's
motel and enjoyed the company
of our family and the events
opening the school. Then we decided to make the return trip in
one day rather than chance it on
a motel.
We enjoyed lunch with a
wonderful lady acquaintance of
Daughter and found I-94
nearby. Soon we blew a front
tire. Wife piloted the car to the
shoulder, traffic having cleared
for a moment. Semis sped past
inches from our car while we
called 911. In less than an hour
a highway patrolman stopped
behind us to help. He called for
a wrecker while I researched tire
shops on our smart phone. We
had just passed an exit. Our
spare tire was rusted solid under
the liftgate. We were winched
up onto the truck and given a
ride ten miles thataway and ten
miles thisaway to a shop across
from our disaster.
We are grateful for the tire
shop for their quick response, to
Firestone for the right tire, and
to M&M and Lake Central and
Bayer and Maxwell House and
Pfizer and Smirnoff and whoever made that tow truck for all
they did. We're making another
trip soon.

lion or less, we can give local

banks an opportunity to bid on
it, Sawatzke said. That will
likely give us a better interest
rate of a quarter-percent or
three-tenths of a percent better
interest rate with it being bank
qualified.
Less than a third of 1 percent
may not seem like much, but on
a $17 million project, it adds up
quickly. Sawatzke said the estimates he has seen would project
a savings of $40,000-45,000 a
year on interest between
$800,000 and $900,000 savings
over the course of the 20-year
bond.
The other item to be discussed was whether or not the
county would be interested in
refinancing the $38.675 million
that remains on the county jail
project. The bonds were put out
in 2007 and, until 2017, they
cant be refinanced. However, at
the current interest rates, the
county would save more than
fourth-tenths of a percent, which
would translate into approxi-
be called in and refinanced until

2017, the board isnt in a big
hurry to refinance now. Because
of what is called negative arbitrage, if the county were to approve the bond sale, it would
have to place the money in a
low-interest account for two
years, while still paying the
bond rate of interest. As things
stand, each month the county
delays purchasing new bonds,
they would knock $53,000 a
month off the negative arbitrage
between now and 2017.
At this point, were kind of
gambling that the interest rates
arent going to go up, Commissioner Charlie Borrell said.
From all the crazy things that
have been going on in the economy with the stock market dropping and climbing, the thinking
is that the interest rates arent
going to go up, so the longer we
wait, the more money we save
and, if we see indications that it
will be going up, we can get in
and still realize a savings. Right
now, were just holding our
act on either matter, but approved putting the paperwork

together to split the issuance of
bonds for $10 million this year,
and, depending on how much
the county opts to bond for next
year Borrell suggested taking
money from the reserve fund to
lower the amount -- $7 million
or so in January. The board advised a wait-and-see approach to
the refinancing of the jail bonds.
In other items on the Aug. 25
agenda, the board:
* Approved the July revenue/expenditure guidelines report. Auditor/Treasurer Bob
Hiivala told the board that both
the revenues and expenditures
are looking favorable for sevenmonth projections.
* Authorized signatures on a
two-year law enforcement contract with the City of Cokato
that calls for 12 hours of coverage per day. The contract runs
through the end of 2017.

Princess
continued from page 1
Mauk was crowned the 62nd
Princess in an evening ceremony
at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds on August 26.This is
truly exciting for Wright County
since this is the first time a young
women serving as a Dairy
Princess from Wright County has
been crowned Princess Kay, ever,
in all 62 years. The Wright
County Dairy farmers are thrilled
that she is bringing the goodwill
of Wright County to the rest of
Minnesota.
The Wright County Dairy
Princesses and Ambassadors
help with many community
events, do library visits, attend
local festivals, and are an integral
part of Wright County Breakfast
on the Farm. It is an honor to

have a great team of young
women sharing the message of
the Dairy Association, and to
now have one of them representing all the dairy farmers of Minnesota. Mauk will serve as the
official goodwill ambassador for
nearly 3,500 Minnesota dairy
farm families.
Twelve
county
dairy
princesses from throughout Minnesota competed for the Princess
Kay of the Milky Way title.
Kylee Fernholz of Hoffman, representing Douglas County, and
Ellen Sheehan of Rochester, representing Olmsted County, were
selected as runners-up. Fernholz
was also named Miss Congenial-
ity. Scholarships were awarded to

Michele Green of Greenbush,
representing Roseau County,
Samantha Keller of Goodhue,
representing Goodhue County,
and Kyla Mauk.
Throughout her year-long
reign as Princess Kay of the
Milky Way, Mauk will make
public appearances to help connect consumers to Minnesotas
dairy farm families. She will also
promote the Fuel Up to Play 60
program, through which she encourages students to get 60 minutes of physical activity each day
and eat a healthy diet that includes three servings of dairy.
Mauks first official duty as
Princess Kay took place at the
opening day at the Minnesota

State Fair where she sat in a rotating cooler in the dairy building
for nearly six hours to have her
likeness sculpted in a 90-pound
block of butter. This year marks
butter sculptor Linda Christensens 44th year carving the
Princess Kay of the Milky Way
winner and finalists at the Minnesota State Fair.
Princess Kay candidates are
judged on their general knowledge of the dairy industry, communication skills and enthusiasm
for dairy. The Midwest Dairy Association sponsors the Princess
Kay program, which is funded by
dairy farmers through their promotion checkoff.

The Wright County Board of

Commissioners isnt known for
being gamblers, but it would appear theyre going to take their
chances that interest rates will
remain low over the next year or
so.
At the Aug. 25 meeting of the
board, the commissioners heard
a presentation from Barry Fick
of Springsted Inc. concerning
two bond issues the county is
exploring. One dealt with the
Public Works Building construction and the county is looking to save money on the
bonding by doing a split bond to
cover the $17.265 million project.
Fick told the commissioners
that by putting the entire project
out for a single bond, it would
require that it be non-bank qualified, meaning only the largest
lenders would be involved. But,
by splitting the bond, Commissioner Pat Sawatzke said the
project would be subject to more
competition and, most likely,
lower interest rates.

Ready or not, the flu season is near

Wright County Health & Human Services
to hosts public flu clinics in October.
Influenza is an unpredictable
virus. While flu spreads every
year, the timing, severity, and
length of the season varies from
one year to another. According
to the CDC, it is not possible to
predict what the 2015-16 flu
season will be like.
In an on-going effort to
maintain the health of Wright
County, Wright County Health
& Human Services, in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Health, will be
holding two flu clinics for the
public this fall.
Monday, October 12th, 4-7
p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church in
Buffalo.
Monday, October 19th, 4-7
p.m. at the Albertville Parish
Center.
Flu shots will be FREE for
children 6 months old - 18 years
of age. We will also provide flu
shots to the entire family by
billing your insurance or by providing low cost flu shots to
those who are uninsured or lack
vaccine coverage.
We will serve people on a
first come, first serve basis.
An on-line screening form
will be available (once we get
closer to the actual clinic date)
at www.co.wright.mn.us under
the Public Health tab, This
form will allow you to do most

of the paper work at home.
FluMist will not be available at these 2 clinics.
Delay for the FluMist
Manufacturers of the FluMist announced there will be a
delay in the initial shipments of
FluMist and it will be arriving
more slowly during the season
than in the past. The delay is
due to the slow growth of the
H1N1 strain which was modified to be more temperature-stable. This delay is expected to
affect both public and private
sector vaccine. Currently, we do
not expect shipments of FluMist
until December. Once we know
our shipment date, we will set
up another public clinic to distribute.
Change in recommendation
for the FluMist
In June of 2014, after a review of data from several influenza seasons, research
suggested that the nasal spray
vaccine or FluMist could offer
better protection than the flu
shot for children ages 2-8 years
of age. However, newer data is
no longer able to support this
recommendation.
Flu Season

One of my goals outside of

teaching is for my husband and
I are to learn ballroom dancing.
Im hoping to lose my two left
feet.
Breanna Richey
4th grade teacher
I grew up in Long Lake with
my parents and my younger sister. My parents bought our house
when I was born and now my
mom and I still live there today.
I love the Orono area and I cant
think of a better roommate than
my mom.
I went to the Orono schools
for almost all of my education
growing up. However, I did
transfer to a small private school
in Wayzata called Hill School
for my ninth grade year, due to
the stress of having a peanut/tree
nut allergy. After high school, I
attended the College of Saint

Benedict to get my B.A. in elementary education and I had the
honor of graduating in 2014. I
finished my first year of teaching
this past June and I loved every
minute of it. It had always been
my dream to go to CSB and to
become a teacher. I am still in
awe that I accomplished my
dreams that I had growing up.
I love the fact that this job
keeps you on your toes and it is
constantly changing. I am not
the type of person that could sit
at a desk all day going through
similar motions. The job of a
teacher is constantly changing
and there are days where I dont
even sit at my desk. I love everything about being a teacher and
what that title means.
My educational goal every
year is to make a difference in

somebodys life educationally. I
love to see that look on a childs
face when they finally get something that they have been struggling with for a long time. There
are times when I see that look on
one of my students and I think I
get more excited than the student.
One of my biggest goals is to
figure out what I want next in
life and to go after that dream. I
recently graduated from my
dream college and have been
able to do my dream job, so now
I need to figure out what my
next set of dreams are and go
after them. I guess as of right
now, my main goal is to just
enjoy life and to make sure that
I hold on to the things that are
dear to me.

Lea Abrahamson
I grew up just down the road
in Cokato. I lived in Cokato for
18 years with my parents and
two brothers until I moved away
to attend college. I graduated
high school in 2008 from Dassel-Cokato High School and then
moved to the Fargo/Moorhead
area for college. In 2012 I graduated from Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM) with
a Bachelors Degree in speech
language and hearing sciences.
After college I moved to the
Twin Cities where I worked for
three years as a behavior therapist providing applied behavior
analysis (ABA) therapy to children with Autism. I am currently
obtaining my Masters Degree in
special education through Bemidji State University.
I am excited to meet all of my
students and get to know them
throughout the school year. As a
first year teacher, I am excited to
build relationships with staff,
students, and parents and to experience what this school year
will bring.
My goal in the near future is
to graduate with my Masters of
Special Education. One other
goal for the school year is to get
involved and participate in
school and community events
when I can. An outside goal of
mine currently is to train and
compete in a triathlon during the
summer of 2016. I also am passionate about traveling, so I have
made it a priority of mine to
travel and experience other cultures as much as possible. I love
meeting new people and making
connections all over the world.
Kara Hershley
school nurse
I grew up on a farm in
Manilla, IA with two older
brothers and my parents. My
mother and grandmother were
teachers at Manilla Elementary.
My grandmother was my kindergarten teacher and my mother
was my 5th grade teacher, lets
just say it was a small town. I attended IKM High School, in
Manilla and attended Iowa State
University where I received a BS
in dietetics (food science and
human nutrition); I also attended
St. Scholastica, BSN RN nursing. Ive practiced as a nutritionist in Missouri and Minnesota. I
stayed at home with my three
children and worked as a Public
Health Nurse in Anoka County.
Im excited to be a part of the
Maple Lake community and getting to work with all the students, family, and staff. School
nursing is a specialized practice
of professional nursing that advances the well-being, academic
success and life-long achievement and health of child and
youth. Some of my goals include
focusing on the health and safety
of our students so they can succeed with their educational
goals; and actively collaborate
with staff to build child and family capacity for adaptation, selfmanagement, self advocacy, and
learning. The roles in achieving
these goals include: direct services; teaching, counseling and

support; care coordinator/collaboration; safe school environment
- collaborating with teachers and
staff; consistent care- communication with parents; accurate
care- communicate with health
care providers; and anticipate
needs through surveillance and
vigilance.
Some of my outside goals include planning and ensuring
healthy meals for my family;
maintain a workout schedule;
spend quality time with my family; tour colleges with my son; a
long list of home improvement
projects; complete the worlds
study class though our church
with my daughter (to prepare for
a trip to Israel in the future); and
prepare for my sons high school
graduation.
Christin Kassulke
I grew up in Northfield (about
one hour south of Minneapolis).
I am the oldest of four children
and my parents and several other
family members are in the
school system. In high school I
played tennis and violin, and
volunteered regularly for my
awesome former elementary
teachers. I graduated from
Northfield High School in 1998.
I went to the College of St.
Benedict and SCSU with a bachelors in early childhood education. I am currently attending
SCSU for graduate school (almost done) and working toward
my special education learning
disabilities certificate.
The most exciting part about
the job is working with children,
of course. I love finding new
ways to help students learn, and
seeing something click for a
student is the most amazing experience to be a part of. I want to
find the spark in each one of
my students. My goal is to create
a positive learning environment
in my classroom to help every
single student make progress toward their educational and personal goals.
I ran my first 5k two years
ago after joining a group called
Moms on the Run. You will not
see me running a marathon or
breaking any records, but my
goal is to run at least one 5k each
year. A family goal of ours is to
get a puppy. My husband and I
have three daughters, ages
seven, six, and two, who beg us
for a puppy on a regular basis.
One of these days we are going
to cave (insert wink here).
Nancy Kopff
3rd grade teacher
I am originally from St.
Michael and now live in Monticello with my husband, Brian,
and our three children, Sommer,
Faith and Sawyer. I received my
Bachelors Degree from the University of Minnesota, Twin
Cities; teaching education at
College of Saint Scholastica, St.
Paul.
I definitely enjoy the collaboration with my teaching partners. I love finding new and
creative ways to help students
get excited about their own

learning. Seeing kids gain confidence in themselves as readers,
writers and problem-solvers is
very rewarding, and this is my
main goal as an elementary
teacher. One of my outside goals
is to simply enjoy time with our
family, which is growing up very
fast. Dont blink!
Holly Schrupp
kindergarten teacher
I grew up in Delano. My parents still live in the same house
where I grew up and I am the
oldest of three children. I have a
younger sister, Molly, who lives
in Plymouth with her husband
and four children, and a younger
brother, Randy, who lives in Delano with his wife and two children. I returned to Delano where
my husband, Tim, and I are raising our two sons, Cody and
Caden. I graduated from Delano
High School. I earned an accounting and office assistant certificate
from
Rasmussen
Business College in 1995 and returned to Crown College to earn
my B.S. in early childhood education in 2014.
The most exciting part of the
job is coming to work every day.
I love working with children and
helping them grow into their
fullest potential. I do my best to
make learning fun for them and
plan activities that they will
enjoy. I also learn quite a bit
from them and my fellow teachers.
My goals for the new year
are to be the best teacher, coworker, and employee that I can
be. I seek to find subjects and
skills that I want to learn more
about and take classes. This
summer I attended a handwriting
without tears workshop and a
Smart Board refresher class.
Some of my outside goals include working on completing
some home improvement projects; striving to be a humble
public servant in my role as
councilperson for the City of Delano; and am in the process of
planning a family trip to Mount
Rushmore for the summer of
2016.
Jordan Mathiasen
special education
I grew up on the north side of
St. Cloud, with my mother, father, and two younger sisters. I
graduated from St. Cloud Apollo
High School in 2008. I then went
to Saint Johns University and
graduated from there in 2012
with a Bachelors Degree in social sciences and minored in secondary education, history, and
coaching. I received my special
education license through Concordia University-St. Paul.
The most exciting part about
the job is working with students
and seeing them succeed. This
school year, I hope to make a
smooth transition to teaching in
Maple Lake from St. Cloud and
connect with my students to help
them succeed in and out of the
classroom. Outside of school I
am looking forward to my wife
and I hopefully buying our first
house in the next few months.

September 2, 2015
Manuel Family
Dave originally started his
business on the opposite side of
Birch Avenue in what is now the
old laundromat. He repaired
shoes, sold work boots and a
small number of ladies dresses,
but his dream was to own a full
department store.
In 1965, Dave and his wife,
Cathy, bought the building from
Mrs. B.B. and Paul Jude, but its
history goes back much further.
The first building on the site
was a millinery and then a Germania Saloon that burned to the
ground in 1900. Peter Hamm
built the current building in
1911 where he ran The Hamm
Store. In 1914, Richard Jude
bought the building and opened
a general merchandise store
which he ran with his sons,
Bernard and Paul. In 1935, Paul
Jude reduced the size of the
store by dividing it in half. Paul
ran his business on the south
side of the original building
while on the north side Jacks
Tavern opened up.
By 1954, the tavern had
turned into Lauers Cafe. Meanwhile, Paul decided to rent his
store to Julius Cook who opened

Cooks General Store. In 1951,
Gaynors Coast to Coast moved
in.
After extensive remodeling,
inside and out, the Manuels
were able to reunite the north
and south sides of the building
once more.
The new building, which Tricia and her siblings affectionately came to call simply the
store, was 5,000 square feet
with large display windows that
featured the newest fashions on
smartly-dressed mannequins.
Inside, the Manuels sold
everything a department store
should have, from clothing and
shoes to snowmobile suits. Dave
also continued to do shoe repair.
Soon the Manuels needed
more space so they added 1,600
square feet to the back of the
building.
It was very busy, said Tricia who worked in the store
growing up as did her four siblings. We were open Friday
nights until 9 p.m., but things
were different then. People
shopped in town. They didnt go
to Buffalo. We had a hardware

store, more than one, and two
grocery stores.
In 1989, Dave decided to
downsize by dividing the building in half once again. The
Maple Lake Clinic used the
north side for a while as did several other patrons before Dr.
Dennis Quinlan Family Dentistry moved in in 2003 and remains there today.
In 1990, Tricia moved her
business, Priscilla Mooseburger
Originals, into the back of
Manuels Department Store,
which continued to do business
on the south side of the building.
From there she manufactured

Flu Season
As of June, 2015, the Advisory
Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP) no longer recommends mist over the shot for
children ages 2-8 years of age.
ACIP recommends that children
6 months and older get an annual
influenza vaccine with no stated
preference for either the nasal
spray vaccine or the flu shot.
The CDC goes on to say that
if the nasal spray vaccine is not
immediately available, get the flu
shot for your child to protect them

from the flu. Dont delay vaccination if you cant find nasal spray
flu vaccine.
Whats in the flu shot
this year?
Three kinds of flu viruses
commonly circulated among people today will be included in this
years vaccine;
an A/California/7/2009
(H1N1)pdm09-like virus
an A/Switzer-
land/9715293/2013 (H3N2)-like
virus
a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like
virus. (This is a B/Yamagata lineage virus)
Most of the 2015-2016 flu
vaccine is quadrivalent vaccine
and also protects against an additional B virus.
With the exception of the high
dose flu vaccine, Wright County
only carries the quadrivalent flu
vaccine.

Irish football is less experienced, but not inexperienced

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake High

School football team is looking
to have a strong defense as they
kick off the 2015 season, with
the majority of their state-qualifying defense from last year
back on the field.
The key, coach Tim Knudsen
said, will be to build their
somewhat inexperienced offense and to get healthy and
stay healthy.
Although the Irish return
with a quality, experienced defense, the team has only two returning offensive linemen
coming back and will have to
replace two 1,000 yard rushers
from last year.
We have a lot of work to do
in that area, Knudsen said.
Last year the Irish finished
their season as the section 4-2A
champion with a 10-2 record
and made it to the state playoffs
for the fourth time in the last six

years.
Its going to take some work
to return to state this year, but
Knudsen is confident they can
do it.
Our goal is to get better
each week and keep everybody
healthy so that we have a
chance at the end to win our
section and make it to the state
playoffs, he said.
Returning from last years
squad are seniors Nick
Preisinger (OG), Lucas Fobbe
(LB-TE), Riley Scadden (DB),
Damian Kaley (LB); Devin
Lowers (DT); Case Olson (WR)
and Blake Wellsted (LB). Also
returning is junior Tanner
Schmidt (OT) and sophomore
Alex Toedter (DE).
They are all hard working
kids with great leadership,
Knudsen said about his returning starters.

We are very young and inexperienced right now, Knudsen said. We have only two
returning offensive linemen and

we have to replace two 1,000

We must also stay healthy.
That is the key to anybodys
success. Right now were not.

Irish football wins on the road, drops home opener

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake Irish football

team kicked off the season on
Saturday, August 22, with a 35-6
on-the-road win over the Kimball Cubs, then fell 35-0 to the
No. 1 ranked team in Class 3-A,
Pierz, on Friday, Sept. 28, at
home.
The first game of the season,
Saturdays match-up, was more
like a scrimmage, Head Coach
Tim Knudsen said, describing
the Cubs, a non-conference foe,
as young and in the process of rebuilding.
While it gave the Irish its first
victory, it also showed Maple
Lake coaches that the team has a
lot of work to do to be competitive in their new division, Knudsen said.
Kimball jumped out to a sixpoint lead in the first quarter, but
that was all the Irish would allow.
Maple Lake followed in the second quarter with a touchdown
and field goal for seven points
then opened up the second half
with 21 points in the third quarter
and seven more in the fourth to
make the final score 35-6.
Austin Becker went 15 for 39
yards rushing against the Cubs
and had two touchdowns; Cole
Trager went two for four yards
and 35 for 99 yards rushing for
two touchdowns.
Quarterback Nate Maas was
eight for 13 and threw 110 yards
for three touchdowns.
Blake Wellsted was two for
44 yards receiving with two
touchdowns and Brandon Borell
was two for 38 yards receiving
with one touchdown.
Ben Triplett went five for 23
yards rushing; Maas was five for
18 yards rushing; Damian Kaley

went one for zero yards rushing;
Wellsted went one for five yards
rushing; and Grant Mergen went
six for 10 yards rushing.
On receiving, Austin Becker
went three for 23 yards and
Olsen went one for seven yards.
Andy Mavencamp was three
for four kicking.
Defensively the Irish had 37
rushes for 53 yards and were 2-4
0 yards passing with two interceptions. Wellsted had two interceptions.
On Friday, the Irish hosted
Pierz, a team Knudsen called
the best team we will play all
year.
Maple Lake turned the ball
over six times in the early season
loss.
You cant turn the ball over
six times and expect to win, especially against the No. 1 team in
the state in Class 3A, Knudsen
said.
Individually, Austin was eight
for 34 yards rushing for the Irish
against Pierz; Maas was seven
for 28; Kaley was six for 18; Ben

Triplett was seven for 11; Hunter
Malachek was two for seven;
Logan McCollough was one for
three; and Trager was 1-(-11) for
a team total of 23 for 90 yards
rushing.
Passing, Maas was 6-16-4 79
and Trager was 0-2-0 0.
Receiving, Maple LakesaOl-
son went two for 28; Borell went

two for 24; and Wellsted was two
for seven.
Despite the loss, the Irish kept
fighting and didnt back down,
Knudsen said.
This week, on Friday, Sept. 4,
the Irish travel to Howard LakeWaverly-Winsted for a 7 p.m.
match-up.

for practice, the fourth annual GRIM (Graham + swim). Instead of the usual pizza, runners enjoyed donuts and fruit
and had an earlier start time. It was a little chilly to swim but a few kids braved the water.

Volleyball starts season with high expectations

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake volleyball

team has set high goals for itself
this season. Among them are a
return trip to the Minnesota State
Volleyball Tournament.
Last year the team won the
Section 5-2A championship for
the fourth straight season and set
a school record for wins with
their 28-7 finish.
They took first in the Central
Minnesota Conference with a 70 record and finished fourth at
state after a very close match in
the third/fourth-place game to
Belle Plaine.
The Irish are loaded with talent again this year, with seven
starters from that successful
squad returning to lead them on
to victory.
Seniors Brooklyn Toedter,
Sadie Pingel, and Marisa Henrikson are among them, as well
as juniors Morgan Scheiber and
Olivia Marquette, sophomores
Linsey Rachel, Amber Klug and
Brynn Paumen.
Adding to their arsenal of talent are newcomers Mollie
Scheiber, Lauren Borell and
Kaleigh Beehler. All are sophomores.
They are a dedicated group

that has put many hours into becoming better volleyball players
and athletes, Coach Marty
Kiebel said of his squad.
They play many other
sports, so they are used to competing throughout the year.
Despite moving into the
tougher 6-2A section, the girls
goals are similar to years past:
win the conference, subsection
and section to advance to state.
To do that, they will have to
get past tough section opponents
Annandale, St. Cloud Cathedral,
Melrose, Sauk Centre and Ro-
cori. All are teams Kiebel feels

have legitimate shots at winning
the section.
Much of the Irishs strength
will lie in their serving skills.
Our serving will have to be
used as a weapon to put teams
out of their offense, Kiebel
said. Controlling the ball on our
side will make us a team that can
attack on offense.
If the Irish can capitalize on
their serving skills and learn to
communicate during rallies
when they are out of system,
they should be a force to be
reckoned with, Kiebel said.
Irish volleyball will start the season with much of the

same successful team it had last year. This year the team
will be led by seniors, from left, Sadie Pingel, Brooklyn
Toedter and Marisa Henrikson. (Photo by Brenda Erdahl)
Irish volleyball cruises to victories

by Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake volleyball

team resumed its winning ways
from last year with some early
season, on the road victories, including a tournament championship.
The Irish started the season on
the right foot, Friday, Aug. 28,
when they won four out of four
games at Albanys Early Bird
Tournament, ultimately defeating
fellow Section 6-2A foe Rocori
for the victory.
The next day, on Saturday,
Aug. 29, Maple Lake went on the
road again where they defeated
the No. 9 in Class 2-A ranked

Hill Murray at The Breakdowns Side-Out Classic.
The Irish found a worthy opponent in Braham in that first
game of Fridays tournament in
Albany, finishing with a 25-22,
25-21 victory.
Maple Lake dominated Albany in the next game, winning
25-12 and 25-17, then conquered
Sauk Centre 25-17 and 25-19 to
move into the championship
match-up.
The Irish came back from a
14-11 deficit to beat Rocori in
three games, 25-20, 19-25, 17-15
to take the tournament.
Game scores for Saturdays

win against Hill-Murray were 1625, 17-25, 25-15, 25-12,15-13.
This is the first year for the
Irish in Section 6. Last year the
team won the Section 5-2A title
and finished fourth at the state
tournament. This year will be a
whole new ball game as members of what Head Coach Marty
Kiebel called a much tougher
section 6-2A.
Up next for the Irish is Thursday, Sept. 3, at 7 p.m. at Litchfield. Then, on Tuesday, Sept. 8,
Maple Lake is to host St. Cloud
Cathedral. That game will begin
at 7 p.m. as well.

2015 AFC PREVIEW
AFC East
1. New England Patriots
(Best-case scenario) The ridiculousness called Deflate Gate is
finally settled, Tom Bradys suspension is lifted, and he returns in
complete screw you mode to
everybody who stands in his and
the Patriots way, leading the
team on a season-long, pure
anger-inspired journey that ends
in a second consecutive Super
Bowl victory. (Worst-case)
Bradys four-game suspension is
upheld. With Jimmy Garoppolo
at the reins, New England stumbles to a 1-4 start and struggles to
reach the playoffs. Prediction:
11-5
2. Miami Dolphins (Bestcase) Ryan Tannehill takes another huge step forward and
while becoming the franchise QB
Miami has been searching for
since Dan Marino retired, leads
the Dolphins to their first playoff
win in 15 years. (Worst-case)
Ndamukong Suh stomps on
somebody again and is finally
suspended for it. Tannehill continues to struggle completing the
deep ball and the Dolphins drag
their feet to a .500 or worse
record for the seventh year
straight, prompting coach Joe
Philbin to be canned. Prediction:
11-5
3. New York Jets (Best-case)
Ryan Fitzpatrick performs well
enough to prevent the offense
from being a complete mess. The
re-vamped Jets defense is among
the best in the league and helps
lead New York to a wild card
berth. (Worst-case) The QB situation continues to be atrocious,
leading to ugliness and a divide in
the locker room and not even a
stout defensive unit can keep the
Jets in the playoff hunt. Prediction: 8-8
4. Buffalo Bills: (Best-case)
LeSean McCoy returns to the
Shady of old, as hes force-fed
by a run-happy Rex Ryan all year
long, putting the Bills on his
shoulders and carrying them to

the posseason for the first time
since Prince had us partying like
it was 1999. (Worst-case) Buffalo
realizes just how bad they truly
are at QB. Similar to the Jets, they
have a stellar defense, but the offense is so anemic it cant keep
them in games. Prediction: 8-8
AFC North
1. Pittsburgh Steelers: (Bestcase) Behind Big Ben and
LeVeon Bell, the Steelers highpowered offense torches defenses
all season long, as Pittsburgh
wins the AFC North again, this
time on their way to the AFC title
game. (Worst-case) Bell cant
stay out of trouble and is suspended again, this time for four
games. His loss on the field
causes the Steelers to lose hold of
a division that should have been
theirs. Prediction: 11-5
2. Cincinnati Bengals: (Bestcase) Andy Dalton finally silences the critics, as he and his
favorite target A.J. Green enjoy
career years, leading the Bengals
to their first playoff win since we
were all doing the Ickey Shuffle. (Worst-case) It doesnt get
any better for Dalton, as he again
closes in on throwing 20 INTs
and proves hes not the Bengals
future at QB. Prediction: 9-7
3. Baltimore Ravens: (Bestcase) Steve Smiths farewell tour
is a great one and the rookie duo
of WR Breshad Perriman and TE
Maxx Williams (former Golden
Gopher) become instant contributors to an offense thats much
better than we expected. (Worstcase) Joe Flacco continues his
trend of good year, bad year and
the Ravens are unable to rebound
from a slow 1-3 start. Prediction:
7-9
4. Cleveland Browns: (Bestcase) This is a stretch, but Johnny
Manziel screws his head on
straight and becomes the exciting,
game-changing QB Cleveland
was hoping for when they drafted
him 22nd overall in the 2014
NFL Draft. (Worst-case) Cleve-
shut, they reach their second

Super Bowl of the Peyton Manning era. Under Gary Kubiak the
team is more run-oriented and the
combo of Manning and C.J. Anderson reminds Denver fans of
Elway and Terrell Davis. (Worstcase) Father time officially
catches up to Manning, as hes no
longer able to endure the rigors of
a full NFL season. In the offseason, he retires with fewer Super
Bowl rings than brother, Eli. Sad,
but true. Prediction: 12-4
2. San Diego Chargers:
(Best-case) Rookie Melvin Gordon is a star right from the start
and WR Keenan Allen enjoys a
huge bounce-back year. San
Diego battles Denver for the division crown all the way to their
Week 17 showdown in Denver.
(Worst-case) Not only no playoffs for San Diego, but no more
Chargers, as theyre off to Los
Angeles. Prediction: 10-6
3. Kansas City Chiefs: (Bestcase) The Chiefs defense remains healthy this time around
and leads them to a wild card
berth with the help of Alex
Smiths ball control and the big
play ability of RB Jamaal Charles
and WR Jeremy Maclin. (Worstcase) For the second year in a
row, Kansas City does not throw
a TD pass to a WR. Prediction:
7-9
4. Oakland Raiders: (Bestcase) Raiders fans have their next
great WR in rookie Amari
Cooper. With Cooper, QB Derek
Carr, and RB Latavius Murray,
the Raiders have young talented
players to build aroundfinally!
(Worst-case) Theyre still the
Raiders, so theyll find a way to
screw it up. Prediction: 4-12
Offensive Player of the Year:
QB Andrew Luck Indianapolis
Colts
Defensive Player of the
Year: DE J.J. Watt Houston
Texans
Offensive Rookie of the
Year: WR Amari Cooper Oakland Raiders
Defensive Rookie of the
Year: DE Leonard Williams
New York Jets
Breakout Candidate: RB
C.J. Anderson Denver Broncos
Breakout Candidate: RB
Latavius Murray Oakland
Week of September 4-10
Out & About
The Catch
land Browns fans endure yet another typical Cleveland Browns

season. Prediction: 3-13
AFC South
1. Indianapolis Colts: (Bestcase) The additions of Frank
Gore and Andre Johnson pay
huge dividends and in his fourth
season, things finally fall into
place for Andrew Luck. Thanks
to the impending Tom Brady suspension, the Colts are able to secure home field throughout the
playoffs and reach the franchises
first post-Peyton Super Bowl.
(Worst-case) Luck has an awful
season and the Coltsjust kidding, theres truly no way they
dont at least win the division.
Prediction: 14-2
2. Houston Texans: (Bestcase) Either Arian Foster returns
from his injury much earlier than
expected or J.J. Watt just decides
to play QB for the Texans, too,
since he does everything else for
them. (Worst-case) Foster misses
the entire year and the Texans
QB situation is worse than they
thought. However, Watt and the
defense are too good for Houston
to position themselves to draft
one of the top QBs in the 2016
NFL Draft. Prediction: 7-9
3. Jacksonville
Jaguars:
(Best-case) The defense improves, Blake Bortles progresses
and the Jags realize theyve hit
second-round home runs in consecutive drafts, with WRs Allen
Robinson and Marquis Lee
