Wright County Sheriff’s Office issues 224 speedingtickets in July

With July came a statewidefocus on speeders and individu-als not wearing their seatbelts.

The Wright County Sheriff’sOffice issued 224 speeding tick-ets during the 18-day stretch, thesecond most speeding tickets ofany county outside the metroarea, with only Olmsted Countyissuing 20 more.

Enhanced speed enforcementcoupled with educational pro-gramming was the focus of theMinnesota Department of PublicSafety Office of Traffic Safety’sJuly speed enforcement cam-paign.

Between 2011 and 2013, ille-gal and unsafe speeding con-tributed to 235 deaths and 666serious injuries, according toDPS/OTS. In almost one in fourfatal crashes throughout the stateover the past 10 years, speed hasbeen a factor.

So far, there have been 187traffic deaths, 19 fewer thanwere reported this time a yearago.

The agency also notes thatsummer is the deadliest seasonon Minnesota roads, largely dueto motorists traveling at fasterspeeds with clear roads givingdrivers a false sense of security.

In Wright County, the fastestspeeder was clocked at 84 mph,far slower than the fastestspeeder in the state, who wasclocked at 125 mph by the Min-nesota State Patrol.

The Wright County Sheriff’sOffice also led all county agen-cies outside the metro area with38 seat belt violations.

According to DPS/OTS, atotal of 16,926 drivers werecited during the campaign by310 law enforcement agenciesthroughout the state.

The organization used thecampaign to communicate thedangers of speeding.

“The pain of a speedingticket does not compare to thephysical and emotional pain youcan experience from a speed-re-lated crash,” said Donna Berger,OTS director. “Law enforcementhears all kinds of excuses, butthere is no excuse to put you andothers in harm's way by speed-ing.”

School students, summer vaca-tion has been more than just abreak from school. It’s been atime to earn on-the-job training.

Katherine Borgert, JoshChambliss, Elijah Lark, BrandonLatzig, Hailee Malachek, WesleyRoehlke and Brady Tongen havebeen working at True Friends’Camp Courage near Maple Lakethree days each week.

“The student workers aregaining valuable work-readinessskills to help them be successful,self-sufficient workers in the fu-ture,” said Jennifer Carl, a youthemployment specialist with Cen-tral Minnesota Jobs and TrainingServices, which provided a grantfor the program.

MLHS teacher Tana Fobbewrote CMJTS requesting thegrant and nominated the studentsto be a part of the program. Thatgrant provides transportation forthe students to Camp Couragethree days a week and payswages for the students and theirsupervisor.

Chad Stenson, the physicalplant director for True Friends,believes the program is a win-win for everyone involved.

“In my mind, it’s helping thecommunity,” Stenson said. “Thecommunity helps us all the time,so it’s a nice way to pay themback. The collaboration betweenus and CMJTS gives kids a wayto give back in the summer andget paid a bit for it, too.”

Legislationallows forslight levyincrease

Editor

Taxpayers in the Maple Lakeschool district will see a slightincrease in the operating levy,due in part to legislation passedduring the legislative session.

The increase comes out to$27.75 per pupil unit, or about a4 percent increase over the cur-rent operating levy amount of$696.25.

Superintendent Mark Re-demske explained the situationbefore the board approved theincrease by a 5-1 vote, with BenElsenpeter dissenting and ShellyLiljequist absent, during Mon-day evening’s board meeting.

“Every district, starting in2015, will have local operatingrevenue of $424 that will beright on top of the levy sheetcoming from the Minnesota De-partment of Education,” Re-demske said. “If we want to takeless than that, we need to under-levy. The legislature has also al-lowed school boards to removeor add a levy of up to $300 forup to five years without going tothe voters.”

The $424 from the state isadded to the $300 amount thatthe board has the authority toimpose for a total of $724, or$27.75 more than the currentamount of $696.25.

According to Redemske, anMDE representative had sug-gested the district increase thelevy to the $300 mark for twoyears.

“They said to do it for a cou-ple years and then, after twoyears, re-authorize the full$300,” Redemske said.

He also clarified that the levyis increasing per pupil unit notper household. The amount perhousehold will vary based ontheir tax assessment.

For the past 27 years, the Ex-perimental Aircraft AssociationChapter 878 has hosted its an-nual pork chop dinner and fly-inon Labor Day weekend. For thepast three years, the Maple LakeChamber of Commerce hashosted the Gear-Head Get To-gether in downtown Maple Lakeon the third Saturday in August.Saturday, for the first time ever,the two events will take place onthe same day.

“These two events are verycomplementary as both cele-brate creativity and freedom of

expression in motorized vehi-cles, whether they operate onland or in the air,” said WayneFlury, the secretary of EAAChapter 878.

A free shuttle bus will trans-port guests between the airportand downtown.

Both events will have plentyto offer.

Starting around 8 a.m., theswap meet will begin and vehi-cles will begin rolling intodowntown for the Get Together.

“Last year, we had some-where around 500 vehicles comeand go throughout the day,” GetTogether committee co-chair

Scott Chantland said. “…We putour emphasis on no plaques, notrophies. It doesn’t have to be aspecific year. If you like yourcar, bring it. It doesn’t have to bea true show vehicle.”

Between 75 to 80 swap meetvendors sold gear-head-relateditems a year ago.

Swap meet spots will be on afirst-come-first-served basis, butChantland doesn’t believe any-one will be turned away.

“We definitely have room togrow,” he said.

While vehicles, swap meetvendors and crowds gather,Bondo Bob will be spinning vin-

tage vinyl records.In the meantime, the fly-in

will begin at 10 a.m. with a ju-ried craft show in the hangars,meaning a committee selectsvendors rather than allowingthem on a first-come-first-servedbasis. At least 30 vendors are ex-pected.

The pork chop dinner willtake place from 11:30 a.m. to 2p.m. Pizza, salads and other op-tions have been added for vari-ety.

And, of course, plenty of air-craft will be on display.

New tax for county road projects a possibilityby John Holler

Correspondent

Nobody likes new taxes, but,at times, they’re the only way toget local projects completed. Atthe Aug. 6 meeting of theWright County Board of Com-missioners, Highway EngineerVirgil Hawkins came before theboard to discuss future countyroad projects and the potentialfunding gap.

Hawkins explained that the

issue had been discussed at theJuly 21 transportation commit-tee of the whole meeting andthat, over the past 20 years,costs for transportation projectshave increased about 300 per-cent while available funding hasnot kept pace. The result hasbeen a deterioration of the con-dition of the county’s highwaysystem. As a result of this fund-ing gap, much-needed recon-struction projects have been

delayed.As things currently stand, the

funding gap will result in thedelay or reduction of severalprojects scheduled for 2015 andbeyond.

“The projects identified inour five-year plan will have tobe delayed due to current fund-ing levels,” Hawkins said.“These are all reconstructionprojects, but our current level offunding only allows for pave-

ment-preservation projects. Oneof our new options is a local op-tion sales tax that could be im-plemented in Wright County sowe can do reconstruction proj-ects.”

The commissioners dis-cussed a pair of options. Onewould be the imposition of awheelage tax to generate up to$1.2 million a year. A local op-tion sales tax would generate $5million to $6 million annually

with about 20 percent of thosecosts coming from WrightCounty residents.

Currently, state aid, federalaid and local levy dollars coverabout $7.2 million on average,while the needs are close to $12million or more a year to keepthe highway system from fur-ther deterioration.

A week ago Tuesday it was a matter of moving around trying tofind a school of feeding sunfish, kind of like hunting and looking forgame. George Palmer and I didn’t find them in spots where there werefish previously, but other spots seemed to hold fish. It took a lot ofsorting and we felt fortunate to put 28 sunfish in the live well. It wasa warm day and we got off the lake before it turned hot on a day withlittle breeze. We were fishing in 13-14 ft. On Friday I paired up withJim Lemieux, again in the early morning. It was a day when the sunfishdidn’t cooperate at all even though we tried different spots. We strug-gled to find Lemieux a meal of sunfish, but it’s still fun to be out there.Listening to his experiences while fishing Maple Lake with former lo-cals, most of whom are doing their angling in the hereafter, was inter-esting to say the least. It’s fair to say Lemieux and his buddies haveboated a lot of fish. Besides the sunfish I had some fun Northern action.I boated a four-pounder, lost another one when I neglected to retie mysunfish hook which apparently was nicked. We were continuing tofish sunfish when another fish (apparently a Northern) bit and strippedmy sunfish jig off, an example of poor knot-tieing. I had another smallNorthern on, but not large enough for the frying pan. We called it aday around 11:00 when the heat was starting to get to Vanna, and usas well. Vanna’s not a dog that does much barking, but she tuned upwhen the Northern was flopping around in the boat. Lemieux com-mented on Sunday that filleting the Northern told him he was rusty inthat department and it took him some extra time to get the job done.I’m inclined to try a different lake the next time out. We spotted a doe and two fawns next to Ney Park’s south boundaryoff County Road 8 Friday afternoon while northbound. The fawns stillhad their spots and apparently were feeding on grass on the Goelzproperty. It’s also neat to see wildlife that close and I was surprized

the fawns were still sporting spots. On Sunday two sand hill craneswere feeding in a meadow just south of the Hank Potter farm when Iwas taking Vanna out for a walk. I’m still hoping to see a covey ofpheasants, but it hasn’t happened yet!

* * * Sunday’s final baseball game in Region 12C was between MapleLake and Loretto which the Lakers won 7-4. The Lakers defeatedLoretto 4 zip on Friday to remain the only team undefeated in Region12. Fans saw a great pitching effort by Jeremy Schmidt in that shut-out. Laker first baseman and manager Chad Raiche drove in the firstLaker run and Todd Fuller had two rbis on his double later in the game.Schmidt was awesome in the final two innings when he apparentlycould smell a shut-out win. Loretto defeated Howard Lake 8-4 on Sat-urday to match them again with the Lakers for seeding rights. Playingthree games in three days took a toll on the Loretto pitching staff andwalks pretty much determined the Sunday outcome. Pitcher MitchWurm gave up only four hits if memory serves me right. Luke Fobbe,at short, was kept busy with six or seven assists. Besides the MapleLake wins, the fans also set a record in attendance with over 2,300 at-tending the Region 12C games. The next step for the Lakers, who have a first-round bye in the statetournament, will be at Jordan on Friday, Aug. 22, in a 7:30 p.m. gamewith the winner of the Hanska-Sobieski game. Other North StarLeague teams have games as following the first week of the tourna-ment: Friday 8/15 at 7:30 in Belle Plaine (C) Howard Lake vs. (9B)Montevideo; Saturday 8/16 at 5:00 in Jordan (12B) Loretto vs. (3C)St. Benedict; and on Sunday 8/17 at noon in Jordan (12D) Delano vs.(13B) Luverne.

* * * On Monday morning the noise of road construction equipmentjarred me out of bed when Annandale’s Hot Mix started delivering bi-tuminous to my end of Linden Ave. North. The plan is to lay down thefirst coat of blacktop this year and put on the final wear coat next yearand I suspect all of the blacktopping will be done in the city beforeSaturday’s Gear Head Day.

* * * A local shopper commented Monday that Walmart has already putout some of their Halloween products. Where will it all end?

New LawsHello Neighbors,A number of new laws went

into effect on August 1, 2014. TheHouse of Representatives has ahandy tool to help you sortthrough this list athttp://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hinfo/newlaws2014-0.asp

While the list of new laws istoo comprehensive to detail here,I wanted to share with you somebigger changes that took effectAugust 1, 2014.

MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE

Effective August 1, the state’sminimum hourly wage will in-crease from $6.15 to $8.00. Thisbegins the process of increasesthat will eventually take Min-nesota to a wage of $9.50 in 2016.Beginning in 2018, the minimumwage will increase each year tomatch inflation. The law is tieredas follows:

For businesses exceeding$500,000 in gross annual sales: $8minimum wage beginning Au-gust 1, 2014; $9 in August 2015;and $9.50 in August 2016

For businesses not exceeding$500,000 in gross annual sales:$6.50 minimum wage beginningAugust 1, 2014; $7.25 in August2015; and $7.75 in August 2016

I strongly support Minnesota’sworking families, and believethey have a right to earn a fair,

reasonable wage. This is why Isupported raising the minimumwage to meet federal standards.However, the increase passed bythe Democrats is excessive. Itputs us out of step with surround-ing states, and the automatic in-creases adjusted to inflation aregoing to tie businesses’ handseven further. Local businesses arealready being harmed by tax in-creases passed both at the stateand federal level and by the bur-densome mandates of Oba-macare; this extreme increase istoo much for them to bear. Unfor-tunately, Minnesota families aregoing to be the ones to pay theprice for these policies.

FIREARMS RESTRICTIONS FOR DOMESTIC ABUSERSA new law will require people

who are subject to court orderedrestraining orders to surrendertheir firearms for the length of theorder. No firearm would have tobe surrendered without dueprocess or a court conviction; thelaw does not allow illegalsearches and seizures. Thefirearm would have to be trans-ferred to a government authorityafter the court action; any personthat accepts a firearm from an of-fender will be guilty of a grossmisdemeanor.

Sign colorsQuestion: With the new law of

$300 fines in construction zones Ihave a question. I know the whitespeed limit sign is the legal speedlimit. Are orange signs supposedto be advisory or warning signs?

Can you get a ticket for going thespeed of the white sign whenthere is also some orange signsposted? I’ve seen some construc-tion zones with white and orangesigns posted 55mph and thensome orange signs with 35mph

speed signs. What is the legalspeed limit?

Answer: You are correct; mo-torists who speed through a workzone will be fined $300 (effectiveAugust 1, 2014) thanks to a newlaw passed during the 2014 statelegislative session.

The white speed limit signs arethe official regulatory sign. Theorange signs serve as a warning;even though they are not regula-tory they are intended to provideclear instructions to help youdrive safely. So if the postedspeed limit is 55 mph, and yousee an orange sign indicating 35mph, I would recommend slow-ing to the indicated speed. Min-nesota signs, signals, andpavement markings conform tothe national standards. SignColor Meanings:

Regulatory – Red: Prohibits and commandsWhite: Regulates

Warning – Yellow: WarnsYellow-green: Warns and con-

trols pedestrian and bicycle cross-ings and school areas

Orange: Warns and controls inconstruction zones

Informational – Green: Guides and informsBlue: Describes services for

motoristsBrown: Indicates historic, cul-

tural, or recreational sitesA portion of state statutes were

Jail house lawyers and legal myths

Jailhouse Lawyer is a termthat is applied to people who havenot had formal legal educationbut who have amassed consider-able on-the-job training as the re-sult of their negative experienceswith the law. Unfortunately, theyusually know just enough to getthemselves—and others—intotrouble. Here are a number oflegal myths that you can oftenhear being given as advice bythese jailhouse lawyers.

MYTH No. 1—“The publicdefenders work for the govern-ment, not you, so you’re betteroff hiring a ‘real attorney,’” i.e. aprivate attorney.

TRUTH—Public defendersare the most competent attorneysthat appear in court. They special-ize in the criminal law and usu-ally know more about criminallaw and the criminal process thanall but a very few lawyers in thestate. The local public defendersalso know the prosecutors, knowthe judges, and are familiar withthe makeup of the juries in thevarious counties. While public

defenders do get paid by the state,they work for their clients andthey take their jobs very seri-ously. Many defendants (or theirfamilies) have shelled out bigbucks for private attorneys, onlyto have the same result (or worse)than a public defender could haveobtained. The best recommenda-tion for public defenders comesfrom law enforcement. I haveheard a number of police officerssay the same thing about publicdefenders: “I hate ‘em—but if Iwas ever in trouble, I would wantthem to represent me.”

MYTH No. 2—“Don’t worry,they can’t use your confession‘cause they didn’t read you noMiranda rights.”

TRUTH—A Miranda warn-ing advises a person that theyhave a right to remain silent andthat anything they say can beused against them. They have aright to talk to an attorney andone will be furnished if they can’tafford one. However, a Mirandawarning only is required whendefendants are “in custody.” Nor-mally, a police officer will per-form an investigation before a

defendant is placed under arrestor placed in custody. Anythingsaid to the officer during this in-vestigation stage is usually goingto be admissible at trial. Exam-ple: Responding to a house fire,police found a marijuana growingoperation and also a safe. Beforearresting the owner of the house,they asked him what was in thesafe. The owner stated that it con-tained money from his marijuanagrowing operation and also his“magic mushrooms.” His state-ments were used to obtain asearch warrant and will be admis-sible if the case comes to trial. AMiranda warning wasn’t neces-sary. Once he was arrested, hisMiranda rights were read to him.Then he—decided to remainsilent—too late.

MYTH No. 3—“The state’sgot a weak case. All they got iscircumstantial evidence.”

TRUTH—A common myth isthat circumstantial evidence issomehow inherently weak andthat the state can’t get a convic-tion based on circumstantial evi-dence alone. In fact, theinstruction that is read to a jury is“a fact can be proved by directevidence, circumstantial evidenceor by both” and “the law does notprefer one type of evidence overthe other.”

EXAMPLE: In a case in Red-wood County, a defendant tried tointimidate a witness in a murder

case. He decided to burn downthe witness’s house. Not beingthe sharpest knife in the drawer,he burned down the wrong house.While no one saw him burn downthe house, police were able to fol-low the defendant’s footprints inthe snow back to the defendant’shouse. Oh yes, the defendantwore size 16 shoes. It may havebeen circumstantial evidence, butit was very good circumstantialevidence. This fellow is presentlyserving a very long prison sen-tence.

Judges are not supposed togive legal advice to people. Ithink it’s fair, however, to pass onthis suggestion: Never rely on ad-vice given by someone sitting inthe cell next to yours.

Making the business case for rural America

These days, it seems like it’seasier than ever to turn a goodidea into reality. This is the era ofKickstarter, where entrepreneurscan connect with potential in-vestors at the click of a button.

Of course, it takes more thanmoney to grow an idea. It takesan atmosphere that fosters cre-ativity and rewards innovation.And at a deeper, less obviouslevel, it requires strong, secure in-frastructure—roads and bridges,but also internet access and com-munity facilities like hospitalsand schools—that improves con-nectivity and access to informa-tion, moves products to market,and makes communities compet-itive and attractive to new busi-nesses and investments.

Part of the challenge we facein rural America is that in toomany places, infrastructure is

outdated and cannot support thesame kinds of opportunities thatare easily found in cities andlarger towns.

USDA itself has a strongrecord of supporting rural infra-structure upgrades. Our RuralDevelopment program has a loanportfolio of over $200 billion di-rect and guaranteed loans. Yet,there continues to be significantunmet demand for investment inrural America that exceeds ourcapacity.

We can’t address this disparityalone, which is why this week,USDA, as part of the WhiteHouse Rural Council, hosted thefirst-ever Rural Opportunity In-vestment Conference. This con-ference brought together keypeople from the investment com-munity, rural areas and govern-

Aug. 6 Wright County Attorney’s report

All seven of the Twin Citiesmetro counties have imposed alocal option sales tax to cover suchprojects, as has the city of St.Cloud.

The commissioners weighedthe pros and cons of implementingeither of the tax options, butHawkins said that, if the county isto maintain its road system, morefunding than is currently availableis needed.

“Several other counties haveused this option because the costsof road reconstruction have risenso much,” Hawkins said. “At thecurrent level funding, withoutsuch a tax, we won’t be able to dothe projects we have in our five-year plan as reconstruction proj-ects. This is an option we shouldlook into during the budget hear-ings.”

The board authorized Hawkinsto research whether adjacent

counties have implemented thelocal option sales tax and/or whee-lage tax and share that informationwith the commissioners at the up-coming budget meetings for fur-ther discussion.

In other business, the board:• By a 4-1 vote, approved send-

ing out requests for proposal to getprices for the design and construc-tion of a new Public Works Build-ing. Commissioner Pat Sawatzkesaid he couldn’t support the pro-posal because the proposed cost of$18.5 million includes $7.5 mil-lion for a warm storage facility.Sawatzke said that cost would bemuch too high if it includes thewarm storage building and ques-tioned whether such a building isactually required, since many gov-ernment units and large businessesdon’t have such facilities and thatthe cost of building one for part-time winter use is prohibitive.

• Agreed to take a longer lookat replacing the veteranservice/nuclear position. It hasbeen years since the job descrip-tion has been updated and manyof the duties are similar to thosedone by the emergency manage-ment department. Former Com-missioner Karla Heeter spoke tothe commissioners, suggestingthey should look creatively at howto deal with the position – poten-tially eliminating it since the emer-gency management department ishandling many of the duties any-way.

• Approved meeting with thecity of Monticello to reach a com-promise solution for the configu-ration of County State AidHighway 75 at the intersection ofMinnesota Highway 25 in Monti-cello that would keep twothrough-lanes of traffic on CSAH75 as well as retaining street park-

ing.• Authorized steps to be taken

during this year to repair damagecaused by erosion from water flowin the right of way on CSAH 75 inthe Clearwater Watershed District.The county highway departmentwill provide a design plan formaking the repairs. As part of therepair project, the Clearwater Wa-tershed District will contribute$10,000 and the city of Clearwaterwill adopt a resolution of supportand provide equipment and man-power to aid in the project.

• Approved the Junerevenue/expenditure guidelines.Through the first half of thebudget year, both the revenues andexpenditures are in line with initialprojections.

• Scheduled a closed session todiscuss labor negotiations strategyfor 10:30 a.m. following the Sept.9 board meeting.

Looking at the amount of in-crease at 4 percent, board memberJoe Paumen said, “It seems likeour operating levy has been theright amount.”

Redemske confirmed that as-sessment.

“I hear people complain thattaxes are too high for the schooldistrict,” board member ShelleyMcAlpine said.

“I don’t think we can turn

down $27 per pupil,” Board ChairArnie Michalicek said. “We’vealways had a policy of levying themaximum so we can offer thehighest quality of education. Thisis doing the same thing in myopinion. Most years, taxes staythe same or go down. This isn’tasking for it back, but gettingback some that we’re losing. Ithink we need to do it.”

Michalicek calculated that the

benefit to the district would beabout $24,300, using an estima-tion of 900 pupil units, a numberthat is changing constantly.

“Let’s say there were 1,000property owners and it was spreadevenly,” Paumen said. “It wouldbe about $25 each.”

“Nobody wants to pay moretaxes, but this makes sense tome,” board member Ed Trageradded.

McAlpine compared the in-crease to the decision to up activ-ity fees with little or no resistancefrom parents.

Following the vote, Redemskethanked the board for the timethey invested in the decision.

“I understand it’s one of thosedecisions that’s not easy,” he said.

For more information from themeeting, see the minutes in theAug. 20 issue of The Messenger.

If past experiences are any in-dication, the students involved geta lot out of the program.

“It’s wonderful because we’vehad so many kids come throughand they come back and thankus,” Stenson said. “It’s a greatfeeling to help kids out and we’regetting help, too.”

One example of success was a

student who went through theprogram and is now a departmentmanager with True Friends. An-other example was a student whowas interested in being a me-chanic, so he changed oil and didother mechanical tasks at a camp.He has since moved on to becomea mechanic.

Work opportunities vary by

the day.“They do anything under the

sun as far as maintenance goes,”Stenson said. “They may plungetoilets one day and clean up stormdamage the next. Working at acamp in the maintenance depart-ment is like working in 50 differ-ent homes. Anything you’d dowith a home, you have to do in

maintenance.”Stenson said he has worked

with CMJTS for the past sixyears.

CMJTS works specifically toprovide employment and trainingservices to help disadvantagedyouth achieve their potential tobecome productive and self-suffi-cient.

It is important that we do whatwe can to protect families and in-dividuals who have been the vic-tims of stalking or domesticassault, but there are already anumber of legal protections inplace relating to offenders own-ing firearms. This legislation wasredundant, and I have concernsthat it will eventually be used torollback the rights of gun owners.As a strong Second Amendmentsupporter, I believe we have a re-sponsibility to protect both law-abiding citizens and victims ofabuse equally.

CELL PHONE PRIVACYOn August 1, the government

must either get a warrant or showprobable cause before accessingthe location of an individual’scell phone. Such a warrant wouldbe valid for up to 60 days, withextensions possible. The only cir-cumstances in which a warrantwould not be necessary is to re-cover a lost or stolen device; torespond to calls for emergencyservices; or with documentedconsent from the owner or legalguardian of the owner; or whenthere is an emergency situationinvolving immediate danger of

death or severe injury to the per-son in possession of the device.

I know you value your right toprivacy and your personal prop-erty, and I am concerned thatthose rights are being eroded. Astechnology evolves, it is our re-sponsibility to update privacylaws so everyone is playing bythe same rules. While we trustlaw enforcement officials to dothe right thing, we should makesure the law is clear for everyoneto follow. For many of us, ourcell phones contain a largeamount of personal, private infor-mation; this bill is critical to

strengthening our privacy lawsand keeping your data private.This bill passed with strong bi-partisan support.

Keep in TouchI believe strongly in con-

stituent services so please contactme with questions or commentsor if you need any assistance ona state government issue.

ment to make the business casefor investing in rural America.

In conjunction with the con-ference, we also announced anew $10 billion Rural Infrastruc-ture Opportunity Fund. Sup-ported entirely by private sectordollars with an initial investmentfrom CoBank, a national cooper-ative bank and member of theFarm Credit System, and man-aged by Capitol Peak Asset Man-agement, the Fund offers asustainable platform for newkinds of investors to inject bil-lions into rural infrastructureprojects.

Up until now, we have faced amajor hurdle when it comes tomaking the connection betweenthe demand for investment inrural areas and the financial com-munity. The new Fund serves asa proof point that rural Americais a promising investment. The fi-nancial community should lookat investing in rural America notjust as a good thing to do—thereis a huge opportunity for them tosee a return on their investmentin rural America as well.

The Fund represents a newapproach to USDA’s support forjob-creating projects across thecountry. It allows us to act as amatchmaker between strong proj-ects and potential private in-vestors and expands our capacity

to facilitate rural investment be-yond what we can do alone.

Rural America needs strong,stable infrastructure in order tomeet the current demand for foodand farm products, as well as thegrowing demand in areas such asrenewable energy, local and re-gional food, and the bioeconomy.To attract young people to ruralAmerica, prevent rural “braindrain," and ensure a stable ruralworkforce, we have to make surethat rural areas offer the samebreadth of opportunity that citiescan offer and that starts withstrong, modern infrastructure.

These are high-potential areasthat will create jobs and stimulategrowth, which makes rural infra-structure not just a rural issue—it’s a national economic issue,too.

We believe that this Fund andthe communities brought to-gether for the first time at thisweek’s conference are a key partof addressing the unmet demandfor rural investment. If we can in-ject even a small portion of theenormous amount of available in-vestment capital in the UnitedStates into rural projects, we canhelp to foster an environment thatspurs rural innovation and en-sures that rural America remainsopen for business.

vested in your state, visit www.usda.gov/opportunity.

1st Annual Friends ofBertram photo contest

Q: I hear a lot about invasiveinsects like emerald ash borerand gypsy moths, but what aresome of the good bugs that helpkeep our forests healthy?

A: There are many morebeneficial insects than insectpests; we just don’t hear aboutthem as often. One beneficialinsect, the friendly fly, is namedfor its habit of repeatedly land-ing on people without biting.The larvae of this fly feed onforest tent caterpillars insidetheir cocoons. During the thirdor fourth year of a caterpillaroutbreak in Minnesota, thefriendly fly can kill nearly 90percent of the cocoons.

Parasitic wasps also keep in-sect populations in check. Mostparasitic wasps are extremely

small, which is why we don’tusually see them at work. Thereare thousands of differentspecies, none of which stingpeople, but nearly every insectspecies is attacked by parasiticwasps during at least one lifestage. Beneficial wasps feed onpests such as spruce budworm,gypsy moth, fall webworm andemerald ash borer.

Many types of beetles, thelargest and most diverse groupof insects, are predacious andfeed on aphids, scale insects,caterpillars, other beetles andmore. The larvae of one beetlefamily called checkered beetlesfeed on harmful wood-boringinsects such as bark beetles, po-tentially preventing an out-break.

The Maple Lake Lakers se-cured the No. 1 seed from Region12C over the weekend with twowins over the Loretto Larks.

The No. 1 seed grants the Lak-ers a first-round bye and the firstpick in the 12C pitchers draft,which occurred Sunday after thechampionship game. Maple Lakechose Ben Hendrickson from theMaple Plain Diamond Devils andTyler Zweibohmer and KyleKaczmarek from the Dassel-Cokato Saints.

The other seeds for Region 12Cwere also determined as Lorettotook the No. 2 seed, Howard Laketook the No. 3 seed, and Delanotook the No. 4 seed over the courseof the weekend. Those seeds willstart the tournament next weekendin Jordan and Belle Plaine whilethe Lakers must wait until the fol-lowing weekend for their firstgame.

Loretto Larks 0Maple Lake Lakers 4Friday night’s game featured

the two remaining undefeatedteams in the 12C playoffs battlingfor an easy road to the champi-onship on Sunday.

Jeremy Schmidt got the startfor the home-team Lakers andSchmidt came to work, quicklyturning the game over to the of-

fense. Maple Lake put the pressure on

immediately when a Chad Raichedouble drove in Graham Brownfor what would be the winning runin the bottom of the first.

The offense tacked on a run inthe fourth thanks to Riley Deckerand two more in the fifth off aTodd Fuller double.

Schmidt was a force of natureon the mound, giving up four hits

and a walk against nine strikeoutsfor his second-straight complete-game shutout in the post-seasonand his second complete-gameshutout against Loretto this season.

The defense behind Schmidtwas stout, committing only oneerror while playing like a team thatwants to play on Labor Day.

Mitch Wurm got the nod butgot off to a slow start, in part dueto a pair of Maple Lake errors anda few timely hits to put the Larksup 2-0 after two innings.

Trailing early for the first timein the playoffs, Maple Lake had toturn the game around. The offensestarted rolling in the fourth, scoringtwo, before opening up the gamewith a four-run fifth. Most of theruns were thanks to patience at theplate, as the Lakers drew a total of11 walks over the course of thegame to go with their three hits.

(Left) Preschool Storytime focused on pets on Thursday, Aug. 7, as 19 children brought in and shared pictures of their

pets, or gave the names of their pets, which were put up on a pet chart. They counted how many pets were listed and

which row had the most pictures or names. Dogs won. They also learned some funny pet songs and fingerplays. Marie

read “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” and “If You a Give Dog a Donut,” written by Laura Numeroff, and then gave each

child a paper scavenger hunt to find all the things that the dog wanted in the story, in the right order. These children at-

tended: Clark and Oliver Hawkinson, Sophia Norberg, Elena Castro, Aubrey Jude, Allie and Carter Ertel, Ben and Ellie

Ogram, Elijah Dorse, Ryder Dettwiler, Colton Klatt, Michael and Andrew Boe, Abigail and Isabelle Forsman, George

Sylvester, Larson and Isabelle Melgaard. There are only two Preschool Storytime classes left. Preschoolers are asked

to bring a picture of a fish or a toy fish for Aug. 14, and their birthdates on a piece of paper for Aug. 21. (Right) After lis-

tening to the book on Tuesday, “Rocket Writes a Story,” Ben Ogram, Danica Hageman and Ellie Ogram write their own

stories with a little inspiration from Boone. The Summertime Books with Boone end-of-the-season social will be from

9:30 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19, at Four Sticks Farm (1111 80th St. NW, Buffalo). (Photos submitted)

SchoolMarching Irish update

4-H’ers shine at county fair

by Nathan MitchellBand Director

The Maple Lake MarchingIrish was pretty busy this sum-mer. The show music was takenfrom the movie "Pirates of theCaribbean." Due to the addedschool days, the Marching Irishonly had three camp days to pre-pare the show. Learning to puteverything together in that shortamount of time proved to be achallenge, but the studentsworked hard and made it happen.

Over the course of the sum-mer, the Marching Irish per-formed at Princeton, Waite Park,Hutchinson, Foley, St. Cloud,and Alexandria, scoring as highas third in Class A in some pa-rades. Two days after the Alexan-dria parade, most of the membersand some parents traveled toDenver, Colo. for some site see-ing and also to represent Min-nesota in parades for the cities ofGreeley and Park Hill. The groupstopped at places like RedrocksAmphitheater, Estes Park, RockyMountain National Park, Civic

Center Park for July 4th fire-works with the Denver Sym-phony Orchestra, Mile High Stepat the capital, white-water raftingalong the Arkansas River, MountPrinceton Hot Springs and evenMount Rushmore on the wayback to Minnesota. The trip wasa great success and everyone hada blast.

The group this past seasonmarked the first year the march-ing band was under the directionof band director Nathan Mitchelland his staff. "We wanted to giveeveryone a show that was consis-tent, made sense, and was fun. Ashow that we as staff would wantto march. We didn't want to dotoo much in our first year so wecould get a handle on this styleof parade competitions. After westarted to get the hang of it, westarted working on next year’sschedule and show right after theAlexandria parade and haveworked since then to prepare fornext season. We're definitely ex-cited to work off of last year'ssuccesses."

Maple Lake Messenger Page 12August 13, 2014

“Aircraft in attendance areexpected to include manycommercially built aircraft as

well as experimental (home-built) aircraft, ultra-lights,classics, antiques, warbirds

(military), the new Light SportAircraft models and RC air-craft will be on display,” Flurysaid.

Patrons will also have thechance to take to the skies inaircraft and helicopter rides.Members of EAA Chapter 878will be on hand to educateguests about the organization.The Maple Lake ClownArounds will also entertainchildren of all ages throughoutthe event.

Back at the Get Together,the White Sidewalls will be

the featured entertainment,playing rock ‘n roll and doo-wop music from 1954 to 1964beginning at noon. They willplay until 1 p.m., return to thestage from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.and close out their set from 3to 4 p.m.

Providing new entertain-ment this year, the squidwheelies will be performing infront of the fire department at1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.

“They’re sport bike stuntperformers that do crazythings on motorcycles,”Chantland said.

In addition to getting their

fill of entertainment at the twoevents, no one should go homehungry.

“The lack of food was theonly negative thing we heardlast year,” Chantland said.

For that reason, severalfood options have been addedand vendors will have separatelines for food and beverages.Food options will include porkchops, sweet corn, steak sand-wiches, chicken wings, ham-burgers, brats, hot dogs, gyros,walking tacos and pulled porksandwiches.

Between the entertainmentand food at both events,

Chantland believes there willbe something for everyone.

“Everyone can come; youdon’t have to be a gear-head,”he said. “If you like a good,free day, come on down.”

He also thanked the com-munity for the support, as wellas the sponsors who help makethe event possible.

“We’d like to show we’reso grateful for the commu-nity’s support and our spon-sors,” he said. “If we didn’thave the community’s support,we wouldn’t do it. Hopefully,they all come out and enjoy itas well.”
