CorrespondentSchools across the state are
cerebrating Paraprofessional Ed-ucation Week this week and theMaple Lake School District hasdozens of paras providing indi-vidual support to teachers andstudents each and every day.Among them are Laura Deslau-riers and Ann Stuefen, who wererecognized earlier this schoolyear at Central Minnesota’s Ed-ucational Support Staff Recog-nition Event in Saint Cloud.

Deslauriers, a special educa-tion paraprofessional at the ele-
mentary level, has worked in thedistrict for 17 years. Stuefen is aspecial education para at thehigh school level and has servedthe district for eight years.
“It was very exciting,”Deslauriers said. “I was beinghonored for something I soenjoy doing. It was a niceevening and totally unexpected.”
Teachers and other paras inthe district nominated the twofor the honor.
“I think all the paras deserveit,” Stuefen said. “It’s humblingand it’s hard for me to acceptsomething when we all do thesame thing.”
Awardees received a trophyand a certificate signed by thegovernor of Minnesota.
Deslauriers started workingas a paraprofessional in anotherschool district before her familymoved to Maple Lake. With herchildren in school, she was look-
ing for an opportunity to helpout that would keep her on thesame schedule as the kids, withsummers off and time to attendtheir after-school activities.
“It was just a perfect fit,” shesaid.
Deslauriers said she hasworked in every classroom fromkindergarten through sixthgrade, often assisting in regularclassrooms with students whoneed a little extra help. She’salso worked with special edteachers in those classrooms.Sometimes, Deslauriers workswith the same group of kidsyear-after-year and other timesshe is bumped around to areas ofgreatest need. She assists specialneeds students in the classroomand pulls them aside in smallgroups for extra help and toallow them to focus better.

CorrespondentMaple Lake’s public and pri-
vate sectors found clarity in acommon vision following abrief interchange between theMaple Lake City Council and aninvolved citizen at the council’smeeting Tuesday, January 20.
Local resident John Rivers,active with Maple Lake’s Cham-ber of Commerce and a commis-sioner on the city’s planning andzoning board, told councilmem-bers that the Chamber wouldsoon be reviewing the scope ofits mission to encourage busi-nesses to come to Maple Lake,and as such, he was curiousabout the city’s progress in pur-suing the development of an in-dustrial park.
“We want to be organizedand help get businesses intotown,” Rivers said. “But beforewe can sell anything, we have tohave places to put them. Wecan’t sell them with an emptycart, so we have to have that, re-ally, coming first.”
He inquired as to how thecity was doing on acquiring landand asked how the Chamber canbest work with the city govern-ment to help keep the projectmoving forward, expressinghope that at the very least a re-port on the matter might be ap-pearing on every councilmeeting agenda.
Mayor Lynn Kissock repliedthat indeed, a report had beenadded to the evening’s agenda,and the item was moved forwardto be immediately addressed.
City Attorney Rhonda Pagelinformed attendees that Jo Foustof Municipal DevelopmentGroup has prepared and submit-ted a grant pre-application to theInitiative Foundation for fund-ing to assist with a planned in-dustrial park feasibility study.

Malco Products of Annandalerecently donated the Belugawindshield glass cutting kit val-ued at $600 to the Maple LakeFire Department. The intellec-tual property for the cutter wasdeveloped in Annandale by peo-ple who live in the area. The ad-vantage that this product bringsversus a reciprocating saw orknocking the glass out is thatthis tends to keep more of thedust and debris out of the pas-senger compartment. It also hasa smaller tip, so instead of hav-ing a sharp object going in andout of the glass, you don’t havethat same protrusion in the pas-senger compartment. Malco be-lieves that if one life can besaved by this innovation, it isworth it.

Maple Lake Fishing Derby PostponedNew date: Saturday, February 7
The 40th annual Maple LakeIce Fishing Derby has been post-poned until Saturday, February 7,
one week later than the originalJanuary 31 date, due to unsafelake access conditions.
Greg Thomes, chairman of theIce Fishing Derby committee,says that coming cold tempera-tures will improve lake access.
“There’s good ice on the
lake,” said Thomes. “The prob-lem is the water at the lake ac-cess. Next week’s near zeroovernight lows will drasticallyimprove conditions at the ac-cess.”
Nick Olsen, Derby MarketingDirector, agreed. “As of today
there’s 20+ inches mid-lake, butaccess to the lake itself is ham-pered by water at the shoreline,there’s 6”-8” of water out 25’from the shore.”
“It’s really a safety issue,” saidThomes. “We’re expecting po-tentially 7,500 people, our re-
sponsibility is to keep everyonesafe.”
All derby events including theVintage Snowmobile Show, Arc-tic Plunge, Take A Kid Fishing,Ice Auger Drilling Contest,Awards Ceremony and AfterParty will also be postponed.
Question: I have a questionregarding proof of auto insur-ance. I am attempting to go “pa-perless” and do all of mymonthly bills online, includingmy auto insurance. I no longerreceive a paper printout of myproof of auto insurance. Is thisacceptable if a person is requiredto show it on a traffic stop orcrash?
Answer: Yes, as long as a
person can show the current autoinsurance electronically (mobilephone or other means electroni-cally.) Every driver, including amotorcyclist, must have in pos-session proof of insurance anddisplay this proof on the demandof a peace officer (traffic stop,crash, etc.)
As of August 1, 2013, proofmay be presented electronicallypursuant to Minn. Stat. sec.
60A.139, subd. 2. Failure to dis-play proof of insurance is a mis-demeanor or a grossmisdemeanor if it is a third vio-lation within 10 years pursuant toMinn. Stat. sec. 169.791, subd. 2.

If all Minnesota January’s were like what we’ve experienced thisyear, there wouldn’t be the large exodus of people heading for south-ern climes each fall. The warm days, up to the high 30s and some-times 40 degrees helps shorten the winter. How quickly we haveforgotten how cold it was in November! I can’t remember a Januarywhen I could wear street shoes and not boots in my daily walks inNey Park with Vanna and not get cold feet. I noticed the two parkresident Eagles were perched near their nest Saturday, apparentlygetting the nest ready for laying eggs in March. We heard a pheasantrooster crow as we crossed the bridge next to Potter’s corn field andI haven’t seen Vanna get so excited since the fall hunting season.She literally went bananas at the raucous sound and was fun to watchas she was in and out of the cattails trying to pick up a scent. . .I spent some time on Rock Lake a week ago Tuesday and nailed afew keepers around 11:30 a.m. when they seemed to put on the feedbag. A fair amount of activity for about 45 minutes and then it wasall over. Timing seems to be as important when fishing sunfish as itis when fishing walleyes. Lake Osakis was good to our local post-master, Ed Trager, recently when he had a field day fishing crappiesand limited out with his son. He said it was hot middle of the week,but not so when weekend lake traffic seemed to cut off the bite. .. Maple Lake will be the place to be Saturday for the annual LakeAssociation fishing contest which tends to attract crowds estimatedat over 7,500 people. Anglers will be concentrating on the Northernsin an attempt to come up with the magic one (40th Largest NorthernPike) that will win them a deluxe Ice Castle fish house on wheels.The day gets underway at 9 a.m. with the annual Arctic Plunge at10:30 a.m. and the fishing contest starting at 1 p.m.
* * * Last week one of my readers questioned the time I had the SuperBowl beginning at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 1. You might say I inflated thetime, but this year that only applies to footballs! Anyway, he put itnicely asking if that was an attempt to find out how many peopleread the Bleat! I told him that wasn’t my intention, but it did haveresults. So to correct the error, the starting time for the big game is5:30 p.m. (CST). Incidentally, I’m not buying Coach Belichick’sexplanation about atmospheric pressure having an effect on the airpressure in a football. . . I was a Patriot’s fan, but I’m puttingmy money on the Seattle team. Emotionally that’s not the way to
place a bet, but so far I haven’t had any takers, and incidentally, I’mon a $5.00 one bet limit!
* * * I hadn’t been to a Maple Lake Irish boys basketball game yet thisyear, but Thursday night’s game with Eden Valley-Watkins was abarn-burner. It was a well-played, defensive game by both teamsand at one point the Irish were down by 10 points in the second halfand by one with two seconds to go after the Eagles scored. CoachTim Staloch came up with some great strategy for the Irish who usedthe half-court inbounds pass (1.8 seconds) and one more quick passgiving them a jump shot which swished through the net for the one-point win. They are a team-orientated, ball hawking, scrappy bunchand definitely like to go to the basket. Needless to say, the near ca-pacity crowd went wild as did the student body which swarmed ontothe floor. It was the best $4.00 of entertainment I’d had all winter. Afellow sitting next to me was from New London-Spicer, a friend ofthe Eagles coach, and a student of the game. So much in fact, heshowed me a couple of photos on his phone taken at a Duke U. gamehe attended with his pre-teenage son recently. I asked him how hemanaged to get tickets which brought out a smile and a slight wince.He said he anticipated they would be $50-$60, but in reality the fourhad to pay $250 per ticket! He felt Thursday’s game was as goodfor both teams who were evenly matched.

Letter to the Editor:The citizens of Monticello,
Buffalo and Maple Lake town-ships have endured a landfill op-eration in their community formany years. The currently oper-ating landfill was foisted uponWright County by legal actiontaken by the private companywho owned it. The current land-fill is leaking vinyl chloride intothe groundwater. Enough isenough. We citizens who live inthis area have done more thanour fair share to deal with Min-nesota’s garbage.
Now the new owners are pro-posing yet another new landfill inour area. This new landfill wouldaccept household garbage(MMSW landfill). Householdgarbage is even more dangerousthan the industrial and demoli-tion garbage in the current land-fill. The proposed landfill wouldcause more than double the trucktraffic coming and going fromthe site when compared to the ex-isting operation. Much of thistraffic will travel Highway 25and all ends up on County Road37. The impact of noise, odor andtraffic safety that area residentshave endured in the past wouldincrease significantly and con-tinue for more than anothereleven years. The environmentalimpact statement (EIS) con-cluded there is no need for a newMMSW landfill in WrightCounty. Adequate landfill capac-ity is already available. Landfill-ing garbage, just like increasingthe National Debt, is simplypassing our problems on to our
children and their children.Opening new, unneeded landfillcapacity discourages more re-sponsible alternatives for dealingwith household garbage.
Granting a zoning change topermit this landfill is not consis-tent with the Wright CountyNortheast Quadrant Land UsePlan. Such a zoning changewould constitute a “spot zoningchange” not made for a com-pelling public benefit. Rather thischange would be made for the fi-nancial benefit of a private com-mercial company. This violatesWright County’s NortheastQuadrant Land Use Plan. Bycontrast this new landfill wouldsignificantly degrade the prop-erty values of the residents of thearea.
This new landfill is notneeded. It would increase traffic,noise and odor in the area. Thenew landfill will sit on top of thesame aquifer already being pol-luted by the existing landfill.Granting the required zoningchanges would violate WrightCounty land use plans. Pleaseurge your County board member(http://www.co.wright.mn.us/314/Board-of-Commissioners;) andthe Planning and Zoning board(http://www.co.wright.mn.us/156/Planning-Zoning)
to not allow the developmentof this new landfill.

Dear Editor,The Super Bowl is America’s
most watched national sportingevent. On Super Bowl Sunday,February 1, there will be lots ofgame day socializing that mayinclude drinking. That’s whySafe Communities of WrightCounty and local law enforce-ment officials are urging footballfans to choose sides now: drink-ing OR driving. If you plan ondrinking on Super Bowl Sunday,designate a sober driver to getyou home safely.
According to MN Crash Data,in 2013 there were 387 peoplekilled in traffic crashes, 81 ofthem the direct result of alcoholimpairment. Over 25,000 mo-torists were arrested for ImpairedDriving in Minnesota last year –
that is an average of 70 per day!One out of every seven MN driv-ers has a DWI on their drivingrecord.
For those who plan to drink,leave your keys at home. Desig-nate a sober driver, whether it’s afriend, relative, taxi, or SoberCab. For those who plan to drive,refrain from any alcohol. Instead,enjoy the game with food andnon-alcoholic drinks. Being asober, designated driver is a keyrole on Super Bowl Sunday.
We want fans to rememberthat it’s a choice. Drink ordrive—but never do both. Youmight just save a life.

“Every year is good,” shesaid. “It’s kind of nice to jumparound every year. It keepsthings moving. But then work-ing with one grade makes itmore consistent with things.”
At the high school level, Stue-fen’s time is also varied based onthe students’ needs. She workswith kids with severe disabilitiesin the special ed classroom, andthose with learning disabilities,emotional/behavioral issues andAutism in the regular classroomsetting.
“It changes by the hour,” shesaid of her duties. “I’m dealingwith what the needs of the kidsare and their own level of whatthey can learn.”
Stuefen’s strength is in thearea of math and she said that shecurrently assists students in threemath classes every day plus anhour of study hall.
“Working with kids is very
rewarding,” she said. “It’s hardfor them and they’re strugglingand then you see them catch onto it.”
Both Stuefen and Deslaurierssaid they really enjoy the job andthe different situations it pres-ents. Neither plans to retire any-time soon.
“Maple Lake Elementary isjust an amazing place to work,”Deslauriers said. “I really lovewhere I’m at. We all do the samething, but it’s different dependingon the kids.
“I prefer the high school,”Stuefen said. “We set goals andtry to reach them. After awhile,they become like your ownkids.”
They said the best part of thejob is seeing the progress pay off.
“Seeing that light bulb go offand things start clicking…. Idon’t think I would give this po-sition up,” Deslauriers said.

CorrespondentUnder ordinary circum-
stances, the Wright CountyBoard of Commissioners isn’tvery fond of spending money foroutside contractors to do workfor the county. But, when itcomes to the caretaker agree-ments for county parks withGreen View Inc., it’s a very dif-ferent story.
At the Jan. 20 meeting of thecounty board, the commission-ers approved the 2015 contractwith Green View, a non-profitthat hires retirees in search of
additional income to serve ascaretakers in six Wright Countyparks – Beebe Lake, BertramChain of Lakes (new in 2015),Clearwater/Pleasant, FairhavenMill, Otsego and Robert Neyparks. Parks Administrator MarcMattice said that the programhas been a big success for a longtime.
“It’s nearly 30 years thatwe’ve been doing this,” Matticesaid. “The main benefit of theprogram is that they provide uswith a quality labor force of re-tired individuals looking to sup-plement their income. They take
a lot of pride in their work.They’re reliable and we’ve hada lot of the people who haveworked with us for years. Thereare some that were in the GreenView program since I started 15years ago. We do get somechangeover, but for the mostpart, it’s the same people yearafter year.”
The county contracts throughGreen View to hire and retaincaretakers because, while theyare seasonal jobs, they’re longerthan the standard seasonal em-ployees the county hires. GreenView takes care of the work-
man’s compensation and payrollissue. While people may not befamiliar with Green View, ifthey’ve ever stopped at a free-way rest area, they’ve probablyseen at least one employee –Green View contracts with thestate to hire rest stop employeesunder the same program WrightCounty uses for its parks depart-ment.
The Green View contract for2015 will be 8,200 hours –money well-spent according toMattice.

And it wasnatural. No drugs and no surgery– just helping people live bal-anced and healthy lives.”
Fuller said he feels fortunatethat he and Froehling have beenable to establish their chiroprac-tic practices together. He saidworking side-by-side with afriend to share ideas with hasproven beneficial over theiryears working together.

Since the establishment of theHoratio Alger National Scholar-ship, the program has awardedmore than $100 million in schol-arships, and in 2015 alone, theAssociation will award $10 mil-lion to its scholars. Recently itwas announced that 106 studentshave been selected to receive theprestigious Horatio Alger Na-tional 2015 Scholarship. One ofthose 106 scholars, HeatherBlahut is from Maple Lake andattends Maple Lake HighSchool.
Blahut found out about thescholarship through a friend andshe soon realized that she fit allof the qualifications. She knewshe had to go through the appli-cation process, which was prettylengthy. According to Blahut,the application process hadabout seven sections and it tookher approximately two to threeweeks to finish it. In the first partshe had to fill out general back-ground information, which in-cluded her adversities. Thesecond part was her family’s in-come verification and the thirdpart was a series of short answeressay questions about extracur-ricular activities and communityservice in which she had partic-ipated. After finishing the firstpart of the application process,Blahut was to write an essay re-lating one of the many NationalHoratio Alger members to her-
self. Interestingly, she choseLeonardo DiCaprio becausethey both grew up with bad in-fluences. Blahut and DiCapriowanted to create better lives forthemselves. After completingthe essays and the verificationprocess, the final step was forher counselor, Mrs. Sloneker, tofill out some information abouther and send in her transcript.
When Blahut was asked ifshe felt the three essays she hadto write about were difficult, sheresponded that she didn’t thinkthey were. She said that anyonewho knew her was well aware ofthe fact that she was adopted atthe age of nine. In the essays,she wrote about the difficultiesshe had before she was adoptedand how she overcame those ad-versities. She also included peo-ple that influenced her to createa better life and how they’vehelped her to achieve thosegoals.
Award recipients are dedi-cated community leaders whodemonstrate initiative and com-mitment to excellence. Whenasked what types of leadershipand commitment Blahut demon-strates, she replied that she feltshe set a positive example as ablack belt instructor at the Mon-ticello Dojo Karate. Blahut setsa positive example by helpingthe under-belts achieve theirgoals. It took her five years toget her black belt and she is cur-rently in the process of achiev-
ing her second degree. Anotherexample of leadership is holdinga job at Kidville. Blahut ex-plained that she helped schoolage children make good choiceswhich also demonstrated a com-mitment to excellence. Andlastly, Blahut felt her commit-ment to volunteer at Feed MyStarving Children, along withher mom, demonstrated exactlywhat the scholarship was look-ing for.
One hundred six studentshave been selected to receive theprestigious 2015 scholarship andwhen asked if Blahut knew anyof the other recipients, she saidshe did not. However, she waslooking forward to meetingthem in Washington, D.C. at therewards ceremony which is to beheld in April 2015.
Blahut is presently undecidedabout her career goals and thecollege she will attend, however,she does like the idea of becom-ing a pharmacist and she is wait-ing for an acceptance letter fromSt. Olaf. She also applied atSouthwest College. Blahut has a4.171 GPA at Maple Lake HighSchool due to the three collegecourses she is currently taking,which is very impressive whenthe average GPA of the scholar-ship recipients was 3.7.

• “My afternoon was perfect!I’m 87 years old and really en-joyed the trip. I consider it a finaljoy of my life.”

County Boardcontinued from page 3
“I think this has been a greatprogram for the county,” Matticesaid. “We get dependable, reli-able, enthusiastic workers whotake a lot of pride in what they doand enjoy dealing with people atthe campgrounds. We’re able toemploy them in a cost-effectiveway for the county and they do anoutstanding job. It’s a win-win foreverybody and it’s a programeveryone feels very good about.”
In other items on the Jan. 20agenda, the board:
* Approved the county’s 2014pay equity report. The report willbe submitted to the MinnesotaManagement & Budget Depart-ment by Jan. 31 to show that thecounty is in compliance with statestatutes.
* Scheduled the annual em-ployee recognition ceremony for10 a.m. at the March 10 countyboard meeting.
* Was introduced to LoriThingvold of the county asses-sor’s department. Thingvold wasrecognized for attaining the des-ignation of senior accredited Min-nesota assessor, the highestdesignation an assessor can
achieve.* Approved the minutes of the
Jan. 14 building committee meet-ing. The primary topic of discus-sion was the sheriff’s impoundlot. The committee opted to ap-prove proceeding with havingproject specifications drawn up,coordinate a presentation to theBuffalo Township Board, thecounty planning commission andthe planning and zoning depart-ment, the purchase of card keylocks, an alarm system and cam-eras for the project, verify an ex-terior lighting plan and obtain anestimate to move vehicles fromthe existing impound lot.
* Authorized signatures on anoffer from the City of Buffalo toacquire 662 feet of right of wayand 541 square feet of temporaryeasement along Hwy. 25 near thecounty courthouse. The purchaseis part of the Central AvenueStreet project in the city that willbe altering the angle of the road tobetter accommodate truck traffic.
* Approved the minutes of theJan. 6 public hearing on the rede-termination of properties alongCounty Ditch 38. That meeting
was continued until 10:45 a.m.following the Jan. 27 board meet-ing.
*Authorized replacements fora child support officer and an in-formation systems specialist inthe human services department.
* Approved a $30,000 loan re-quest by Wolf Auto Parts of Wa-verly. The loan is being donethrough the Wright County Eco-nomic Development PartnershipEnterprise Loan Fund.
* Accepted the owners com-mittee meeting minutes, whichdiscussed the progress and scopeof the highway department ex-pansion project.
* Rescheduled the committeeof the whole closed session to dis-cuss courthouse security from 11a.m. following the Jan. 27 boardmeeting to 11:30 a.m. the samemorning. Because the board con-tinued the public hearing of theCounty Ditch 38 redeterminationto 10:45 a.m. Jan. 27, it was feltthat the scheduled meeting timeswould likely conflict, which re-quired the committee of thewhole meeting to be pushed backa half-hour.

Students at Maple Lake Ele-mentary honed their reading andretention skills last week at theannual Battle of the Books.
Second through sixth gradershad the chance to compete for amedal, Thursday and Friday,Jan. 22 and 23.
The voluntary reading incen-tive program is set up like aknowledge bowl competition inwhich teams earn points by an-swering questions about bookson a designated Battle of theBooks book list, which partici-pating students received in thefall, organizer Kath Heffron ex-plained.
Rounds one and two takeplace on the floor of the schoolmedia center where teams sitand use mini white boards onwhich to write their answers.Half of the teams are eliminatedin the first round and anotherhalf in the second round untilonly three teams are left.
They then get to go to the
final round where they get tobuzz-in their answers in game-show fashion using knowledgebowl pressure strips.
The second grade kickedthings off on Thursday morning,led by Heffron and PrincipalKris Harlan.
Thursday marked the fourthyear in a row that the secondgrade has participated.
“I just want to say you are allstars,” Harlan told the studentsbefore round one began. “Ittakes a lot of courage to get onthe floor and do this.”
The competing students weresurrounded by parents, class-mates and other grade levelswho came to watch and quietlycheer them on.
After close to two hours thesecond grade winners were de-termined. The team of AubreyComo, Jersey Bousman andAshley Gaffaney took thirdplace after all was said and done.
The team of Madilynn Nor-gren and Amara Schroederearned second, and the winners
were Molly Wurm and AveryLarson.
Third graders competed laterin the day, Thursday, whilefourth, fifth and sixth grade bat-tlers played on Friday.
The school has been holdingthis competition for the olderkids for the last nine years.
“The purpose is simply to en-courage students to read goodbooks; share them with friends,parents, teachers, learn how tobe a team member, and have afun and exciting time playing inthe ‘Battle’ while competingwith peers. This also helps stu-dents improve reading skills, im-prove memory, mature in theirchoices of reading materials, andacquire a broader knowledgebase,” Heffron said.
Results of Battle of theBooks for the upper grades areas follows: in third grade, theteam of Logan Salmela and JuliaJerome took third; MaddyMcLeod and Abbie Lipinskitook second and Haley Nelsonand Kenlyn Marsicek won.

The Maple Lake boys bas-ketball team tacked two morewins to their nearly flawlessseason last week, including onethat came down to a one-pointbuzzer-beater that coach TimStaloch described as “an out-standing high school basketballgame that had a little bit ofeverything, including a dramaticfinish.”
The Irish kicked off the weekat Milaca on Tuesday, Jan. 20,where they won 77-61.
Andrew Schonnesen andChase Olson led, scoring with16 points apiece. David Stok-man had 15 and Brandon Borellhad 10.
“Overall we played verywell,” Staloch said. “Offen-sively we scored a season-high50 points in the first half.”
Milaca outscored the Irish31-27 in the second half.
“We had a very balancedscoring attack,” Staloch said.“Having four guys in doubledigits and another with eightpoints is proof that we are play-ing team basketball. It is an un-selfish group that plays welltogether.”
On Thursday, Jan. 22, MapleLake hosted Eden-ValleyWatkins, the only team that hasbeaten the Irish all season.
The first half was back-and-forth with both teams gainingand losing momentum.
To begin the half, Eden Val-ley led 9-2. Maple Lake tied the
game at 13-13 with just under10 minutes left in the half.
The home team had leads of25-17 and 28-20.
The Irish were leading 34-28in the second half when E-Wwent on a 17-1 run to take a 45-35 lead with just over eight min-utes left in the game.
Maple Lake tied it at 47 withtwo minutes left. In the end, itcame down to a buzzer-beaterby Olsen for the Irish to earn the51-50 win.
“Everybody will rememberthe excellent pass Tony made toChase and the outstanding shotby Chase to win it at thebuzzer,” Staloch said.
According to coaches, theIrish’s shooting went cold in thesecond half. They were gettinggood looks, but they were justnot falling. Maple Lake finished6-30 from the field in the secondhalf.
“We always preach to ourplayers that if we play great de-fense and rebound the basket-ball we will have a chance towin every game even when weare not shooting well. That wasproven in this game,” Stalochsaid.
Although everyone will re-member Olson’s shot, therewere many other plays at vari-ous times of the game that werejust as important, he added.
“We tell the players all thetime that you never know what‘little thing’ you might do atsome point of the game that canmake the difference between a
win and a loss. It might be div-ing on the floor for a loose ball,taking a charge, or tipping a ballout for an offensive rebound. Ina game like this there weremany hustle plays by our play-ers which obviously made thedifference.
“Our players never stoppedbelieving they were going towin,” Staloch added. “I am soproud of the heart and poisethey showed by executing downthe stretch. I also want to givecredit to my assistant coaches.They are very knowledgeableand did a tremendous job the en-tire game like they do night inand night out. It was CoachPack who came up with the playwe used at the end. He ransomething very similar in a jun-ior varsity game last yearagainst Norwood-Young Amer-ica and ironically the winningbuzzer beater in that game wasmade by Olson as well.
“Every one of our playerswill be able to cherish thatmemory for the rest of theirlives, and that is one of the won-derful things about sports,”Staloch said.
Coaches also thanked the“unbelievable” crowd thatshowed up for the game to cheeron their home team.
“It was very impressive andwe want everybody to know weappreciate it. We have quite afew home games coming up inthe next three weeks, so wehope people will continue to at-tend and make some noise for
the home team.”The Irish were scheduled to
travel to St. John’s Prep Schoolfor a 7:30 match-up on Monday,Jan. 26, then on Tuesday, Jan.27, they were to host Holding-ford, also at 7:30 p.m. On Fri-day, Jan. 30, they will travel toHoward Lake-Waverly-WinstedHigh School and on Monday,Feb. 2, they host Spectrum.Both games begin at 7:30 p.m.

The Irish girls basketballteam kicked off the week with a57-53 win over Central Min-nesota Conference foe, Pierz,then fell 64-49 to Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted.
Maple Lake met Pierz for thefirst time this season on Tues-day, Jan. 20, at home.
Things were looking sketchygoing into the contest when theIrish line-up took yet another hitbefore game-time when MollieGraham was deemed inactivedue to concussion symptoms.
The depleted Irish squad roseto the challenge, however, play-ing tough defense. Kayla Hois-tad posted a career-high 18points for the night.
Maple Lake led at the half,27-17.
Pierz came out inspired tostart the second half, but despitethe Pioneers’ pressure defenseand Irish turnovers, the girls shotnearly 45 percent from the field.Unfortunately, they couldn’thold on to the lead, and ended uptrailing for the first time sincethe opening minute of the gameby a score of 48-51 with about90 seconds to play.
That’s when Hoistad hit athree from the top of the key totie it up at 51.
From there, the Irish went 4-5 from the free-throw line to sealtheir fourth conference win ofthe season.
Brooklyn Toedter scored 12points for the night and grabbed11 rebounds; Morgan Scheiberalso had 12 points and went six-for-six from the free-throw line.
She also had six rebounds, fourassists and three steals.
“Resilient is the best way todescribe tonight’s play,” coachAdam Ronnenberg said after thegame. “The girls came out andovercame a big obstacle, losingone of their senior leaders to in-jury. It was great to see the girlsrally together and grind out awin.”
The game saw a combined 48turnovers between the twoteams. Maple Lake shot approx-imately 45 percent from the fieldcompared to 32 percent forPierz.
Senior forward Emily Webbreturned from an ankle injury,Friday, in time to take on H-W-W in another conference match-up.
Meanwhile, Hoistad contin-ued her hot shooting by scoringthe first eight points for the Irish.
Maple Lake struggled to de-fend the Laker attack, giving up36 first-half points, including a7-0 Laker run to close out thefirst.
The second half was more ofthe same as the Lakers continuedtheir 17-1 run that spanned thelast minute of the first half andthe first four minutes of the sec-ond.
The hole was too deep for theIrish, who only managed to cutthe lead to 10 late in the game.
Linsey Rachel had a career-high 20 points for Maple Lakewhile Hoistad increased her ca-reer high yet again by scoring 19points.
“As we start to get healthy,we will regain the chemistry wehad before the injuries took hold
of us,” Ronnenberg said. “Ittakes time after playing games atless than full strength and wewill get there.”
H-W-W outshot the Irish 52percent to 39 percent, Friday,and out-rebounded them 31-16.

The Annandale-Maple Lakewrestling team tucked anotherwin under their belt, Thursday,Jan. 22, at New London-Spicer.The win boosts their record to14-3 on the season and 4-0 inWright County Conference ac-tion.
The Lightning cruised to a50-18 win over WCC foe, theWildcats, on their home turf.
“This was the first year wewere considered the favorites(over NL-S),” coach Jason Bar-tels said. “But we knew wewould have to score extra bonuspoints in our favored matchesand save them in the match upsvs. their state ranked wrestlers.Thankfully we were able toscore those bonus points in al-most all of our favored matchups, and save bonus points in allthe match-ups where we werethe underdogs.”
Holden Youngs got theLightning off to a strong startwith a major decision. CullenGallagher had a “tough” match-up against one of the NL-S’sbetter wrestlers, but was able toslow his opponent’s offensedown a little, in part by creatinghis own offense. Although helost, he set a good tone for therest of the dual, Bartels said.
Nate Carlson was able to geta technical fall in his match andTanner Vassar got the Lightninga “needed fall,” Bartels said,and “continued his nice run thisseason. He did just what weneeded him to do.”
Hunter Malacheck had atough task as well, according tocoaches. He had to wrestle thehighly-ranked TreytonAustvold.
“He did a great job at con-trolling the pace and flow of thematch, but made a few smallmistakes that he adjusted toquickly,” Bartels said.
Although he didn’t get thewin, he kept the Wildcats fromearning any bonus points.
Senior Walker Rask went outof the gates aggressively whichhad his teammates holding theirbreath in a few risky situations,Bartels said, but he soon gotthings under control and se-cured the pin they were hopingfor.
Meanwhile, senior HunterHicks looked “very comfortableand smooth on the mat. Al-though he was able to turn hisopponent a handful of times, hewas not able to get the pin. Hismajor decision, though, earnedthe team one extra bonuspoint.”
Tomberlin looked to have atough rematch with a rankedwrestler who pinned him ear-lier, but an injury made NL-Sforfeit the weight.
Trae Bedford had a rematchwith an opponent he had pinnedearlier in the year, but thoughhis record looked much im-proved, he couldn’t get the pinand had to settle for a 9-1 majordecision.
ANML’s Cory Schmidtcame out scoring early on hisopponent. He was up a weight
class, while Jared Travis of NL-S dropped down. Schmidt hit awall halfway through the matchand had to fight to keep thelead, Bartels said, but he heldon for the win.
Spencer Ogden secured a pinat 195 to cap off the Lightningscoring for the night.
“He looked very offensiveand poised during the match,which led to some timely pointsfor us,” Bartels said.
“It was a big victory for us,and leaves us with only a make-up dual with Dassel-Cokato lefton the conference schedule,”Bartels said.
The Lightning are currentlyundefeated in the WCC andranked sixth in the state in Class2A.
On Saturday, Jan. 24, theLightning traveled to RochesterCentury for an individual tour-nament. The Lightning came insecond as a team after severalvery good matches, Bartelssaid.
Holden and Quinn Youngsearned firsts at 106 and 113;Gallager finished third at 120;Vassar, who is ranked No. 2 instate at 126, lost a “wild and en-tertaining” 1-point match in thesemi-finals to the returning statechampion at 126 and had to set-tle for third place; Schmidt fin-ished third at 182; Ogdenearned first place at 195; andJosh Gindele was fifth at 285.
The Lightning will work toimprove upon their overallrecord this week when they faceSt. Cloud Apollo, a class 8-3A
school, on Tuesday, Jan. 27, atAnnandale. The meet begins at6:15 p.m.

In other business, the coun-cil:
• Approved the transfer of anairport hangar lease from Danand Judy Neuman to RolandKeranen, with a reduction in thecity-mandated letter of creditfrom $10,000 to $4,000, contin-gent on a favorable recommen-dation by the AirportCommission. In December Ker-anen had challenged the $10,000amount, which is intended toprotect the city from potentialcosts of well and septic removalfrom abandoned sites. Tabling a
vote on the matter, the councilhad directed Public Works Di-rector Jerry Sawatzke to obtainquotes for capping and removal,who had since returned with areport that $3,000 would be suf-ficient. The Airport Commis-sion, scheduled to meetWednesday, January 28, hasbeen charged with the task ofhow best, going forward, to re-flect the change in all of the air-port’s hangar lease agreements.

The council’s next meeting isTuesday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m.
“Why do it all on your ownwhen you can do it with some-body else and have fun? It’s ateam aspect, and it’s worked,”Fuller said. “We’ve enjoyed it.”
The move from their office onthe corner of Wayzata Blvd. andBushaway Road finished justafter the new year. The first dayat the new, larger space at 935Wayzata Blvd. was Jan. 5.
“We were ready to do some-thing different and do some up-grades,” Fuller said. “And tomake it bigger so we can grow.”
With the move, they’ll bringon a massage therapist as part oftheir expanded offerings. The two
chiropractors will also look atadding more employees to theirteam in anticipation of helpingmore clients in the larger space.
Operating on what Fuller callsa “wellness model,” the chiro-practic duo’s approach is gearedtoward getting people healthy andoffering the tools for continuing ahealthy lifestyle. The chiroprac-tors’ methods also include a func-tional analysis of the nervoussystem as a starting point for theirclient’s care.
“We don’t want to wait forpeople to break down and thingsto happen. We want to stay on topof it so they can be the best they
can be,” Fuller said. To help withthis model, the two have made ita point to offer continuing educa-tion through classes on nutritioncounseling and corrective exer-cise. Fuller said their goal isn’t totreat an ailment after it has al-ready occurred, but to identifyand reduce the risk of pain and ill-ness before it happens. It’s an ap-proach that Fuller said has proveneffective for clients of any age.
“We also teach a ‘maximizeyour mind workshop’ about goalsetting, visualizing your healthand creating the health that youwant,” Fuller said. “We work to-ward balancing the body so that it
can function the way it’s sup-posed to and be healthy.”
With the move to the newspace, Froehling and Fuller saidthey’re looking forward to con-tinuing their work together andare lucky to be able to grow theirpractices close to where theygrew up.
“This has been a really goodyear,” Froehling said. “I’m look-ing forward to hitting the nextlevel and I think the new spacewill give us that platform to betterdo that.”
