The folks at M3 Contractingknow they are good at what theydo, and now they have the oppor-tunity to prove it.
Earlier this summer, DaveMavencamp, Maple Lake gradu-ate and owner of the directionaldrilling business M3 Contract-ing, entered a national contestthat chooses the “ultimate crew”out of hundreds of similar crewsthroughout the United States andCanada.
Mavencamp’s crew has al-ready earned top-eight status andis now entered in a popular votecontest that could land them anall-expense paid trip to Kentuckyfor even more prizes.
“We have found in our travelsthat there is not a better crew thanus out there,” Mavencamp said.
He attributes their success tothe camaraderie of their small,tight-knit crews.
M3 Contracting is based outof Monticello, located near SilverCreek. It is a small company withonly two crews. The crew thatentered the contest is made up ofMavencamp’s son, ColbyMavencamp, his stepson,Michael Muir, and Matt Schnei-der. Schneider and ColbyMavencamp are Maple LakeHigh School graduates and Muirgraduated from Monticello.
This group travels the Mid-west together “from top to bot-tom,” Mavencamp said, fromTexas to North Dakota andeverything in between.
“We’re tight knit,” he said.“The camaraderie we have isway better than other crews.
Some of the other crews don’teven know each other.”
The contest is hosted by theVermeer Corporation and en-trants must use a Vermeer hori-zontal directional drill in theirbusiness. To enter, Mavencamphad to submit an essay explain-ing why he felt M3 has the ulti-mate crew. A panel of 12manufacturing professionals,peers and university professorsinvolved in the industry then re-viewed each essay, going so faras to contact companies’ cus-tomers for testimonials, then se-lected the top eight.
Once chosen, Vermeer sentout a video crew to tape the M3guys and that is now posted ontheir site at http://www.naviga-tornation.com/contest/ultimate-crew. Voters can review all eightcrews and vote for their favorite.Anyone can vote, but only oncea day until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday,August 30.
“Now it’s more of an Ameri-can Idol kind of competitionwhere it’s based on a popularvote,” Mavencamp said.
As of last weekend, the M3crew was in fifth place.
“We’re excited,” he said.“We took one thing at a time.When we put in our essay wewanted to see if we could makethe top eight, that was our goal.Now we’ll see if we can get intothe top four.”
M3 Contracting is a direc-tional drilling contractor that pri-marily installs fiber cables andsome electrical and gas lines.

DNR: ATVs are always in season
Back to school sales and StateFair advertisements are the firstsigns of a waning summer, andwith Labor Day just around thecorner, there’s an uptick in all-terrain vehicle (ATV) recreationas adults and teens try to squeezein a few more rides before thesnow flies.
According to the MinnesotaDepartment of Natural Re-sources, ATVs are always in sea-son regardless of sun or snow.And DNR conservation officerswant to get the word out to bothadults and youths to ride withcaution and care.
“Six people, ranging fromages 6- to 53-years-old, havebeen killed in all-terrain vehicleaccidents in Minnesota so far thisyear,” said acting Capt. Jon Pau-rus, DNR Enforcement educa-tion program coordinator. “Thatcompares to 13 total fatalities in2014.”
Knowing where and whenyou can ride ATVs is important.It is illegal to operate on the in-side slope, shoulder and roadwayof state and county roads. Class2 ATVs (1,200-1,800 pounds)may be operated on the shoulderor extreme right side of county ortownship roads and city streets ifnot prohibited by the road au-thority or other local laws.
Understanding the rules andregulations governing ATV usecan also prevent a court appear-ance and fine. He urged ATVusers to contact the DNR or theirlocal law enforcement agency tolearn the rules in their areas. Pau-rus also recommends completingthe ATV safety training course.
Anyone born after July 1,1987, who operates an ATV onpublic lands and waters in Min-nesota, must successfully com-plete the ATV safety trainingonline course. Those under age16 must complete the ATV on-line course and riding compo-nent before operating ATVs onpublic lands.
“Recreational ATV use can beenjoyable, but sometimes peopledon't understand the rules andregulations that govern theiruse,” Paurus said. “Althoughthey are usually a small percent-age of users, these are the riderswho can cast all ATV users in abad light.”
Zaske to represent fair at Aquatennial

After five years of discussinga preschool education program,the staff at St. Timothy's has cho-sen this year to undertake theprogram.
Lisa Hennen, who had beenworking with families and stu-dents in Kimball, was selected asthe the new preschool teacherand is very excited and hopefulabout the new program.
The new classroom is the oldsixth grade room overlookingthe playground. There was asmall challenge of rearranging,but the staff feels they havefound all the right places for thestudents. There will be twogroups of preschoolers to startwith, three-year-olds on Tuesdayand Thursday and four-year-oldson Monday, Wednesday and Fri-day. The principal of St. Tim’s,Dawn Kincs, is also very excitedabout the program and the newhire. The duo, Hennen andKincs, are looking forward toworking together and were allsmiles talking about the newprogram.
The new preschool will in-corporate some very unique andintriguing ideas. New to St.Tim’s, a "Smart Board", a digitalwhite board that will accommo-date students with touch screenactivation, and physical activity
that encourages standing andmoving around the board. Hen-nen was very adamant about get-ting the students up and moving,away from sitting in thehunched-over posture ofyounger students. The studentscan now stand up, touch theirnames, and drag and drop with afinger for attendance, whichmakes a simple task more funand hands-on. The aspect ofmore physical movement is seenin more detail with another strat-egy from Hennen, described asmaking the classroom more"play-based". This close-quar-ters playing uses movement tohelp students become adjusted tothe classroom environment andcreates an opportunity for learn-
ing motor skill function, addinga more physical approach tolearning.
Another important aspect ofthe new preschool is art. "Wewill be doing art every day," saidHennen. Art is a very nice con-duit for learning, especially forthree- or four-year-olds. Theideas and concepts are more eas-ily grasped by younger mindswhen there is a creative outlet forthem to learn on their own, alongwith help and guidance from aneducator. Students have the op-portunity to learn math, literacy,and other mechanisms throughart depending upon the lesson.
Education comes early at St. Timothy’s:

Last August 2014 MapleLake’s very own Maria Zaskewas selected to represent theWright County Fair and wascrowned Fairest of the Fair2014-2015 alongside Amy Mar-quette and Chelsea Men-shausen. “The Fairest of theFair is an ambassador program.“Each year the ambassadors goto events in and out of thecounty to promote the WrightCounty Fair,” explained Zaske.
The Fairest of the Fair pro-gram is very similar to ourMaple Lake Ambassadors pro-gram in the events participatedin and attended by the crownedambassadors. Zaske shared herexperience as an ambassadorfor The Fairest of the Fair. “Wewent to most of the parades andcoronations within WrightCounty as well as some outsideof the county. For example,some of the festivities we at-tended included Maple Lake,Buffalo, Monticello, Annan-dale, Waverly, Delano, andAnoka. We also did numerousvolunteering with other royal-ties and ambassador programs,”said Zaske.
Beyond activities held out-side of the fair, the Fairest ofthe Fair Ambassadors keepplenty busy during the WrightCounty Fair itself. “At the
Wright County Fair we did asmany events as we possiblycould. The events we partici-pated in included the combinederby, the car derby, the diaperderby, the senior luncheon, mil-
itary service, the tractor pull,the pedal pull and much more,”shared Zaske.

At their most recent meeting,Tuesday, August 18, Maple LakeCity Council members adopteda resolution calling for a publichearing to be held Tuesday, Sep-tember 15, at 7 p.m., on thequestion of establishing an Eco-nomic Development Authority(EDA), as recommended byEconomic Development Direc-tor Jo Foust.
Every state and many localgovernments have economic de-velopment agencies dedicated toassisting new and establishedbusinesses to start, grow andsucceed. With the ability to buy,sell and develop properties, theMaple Lake EDA’s purpose,Mayor Lynn Kissock said,would be to facilitate economicdevelopment activities withinthe community.
An EDA must consist of athree-, five-, or seven-member
board, each with a six-year term,and serves as a recommendingbody to the council. Council rep-resentation is required on theEDA with a minimum of onecouncilmember on a three-mem-ber board and a minimum of twoon a five- or seven-memberboard. A public hearing must beheld before establishing anEDA, which is a separate politi-cal body and can own property.It can also have a separate levyfor development that would oth-erwise be funded through theGeneral Fund. Foust has recom-mended the establishment of afive-member commission, andas it is a new entity, with thecouncilmembers serving as orig-inal members, their terms coin-ciding with council terms. If thecity desires to change the make-up in the future, bylaws can beamended.

Who Do I Sue?What shall I do?Oh, what shall I do?My Doo-hicckey broke!So, who do I sue?Apologies to Dr. Seuss, but
that is a common question byplaintiffs not represented by anattorney. As with most aspectsof court procedure, ignorance isnot an excuse for suing thewrong person or entity.
As a result of changes to theconciliation court laws, themaximum claim now generallyallowed in conciliation court is$15,000. Conciliation court
(also known as “small claims”court) is more informal than dis-trict court. The informal designis intentional and recognizesthat most who enter conciliationcourt appear without an attorneyand without legal training.However, people suing a busi-ness must be sure to sue theright business entity; generally,in contract cases, the entity isthe one with its name on the bill,invoice, or other proof of pay-ment. Failure to sue the correctentity may result in a claimbeing dismissed or a statute oflimitations running, thereby bar-
ring a claim against the busi-ness. The fact that a person isnot represented by an attorneyand is not legally trained willnot change that result. Nor willthe fact that a party opted for themore informal venue of concili-ation court. So it’s important toknow the answer to the ques-tion: Who do I sue?
Corporations, partnerships,and limited liability companiesare common forms of businessentities. A corporation is ownedby a shareholder or shareholdersand is managed and controlledby a board of directors. Gener-ally, it’s the corporation that isliable for its debts and obliga-tions, not its shareholders. Part-nerships come in differenttypes: general partnership, lim-ited partnership, limited liabilitypartnership, limited liabilitylimited partnership. A key dif-ference between these partner-ships is the extent a partner’spersonal assets are protectedagainst liability incurred by thepartnership, such as tort andcontract liabilities. Limited lia-bility companies combine thetaxation of a partnership withthe limited liability of a corpo-ration. There are other differ-ences and similarities betweenthese common forms of busi-ness entities. The MinnesotaDepartment of Employment andEconomic Development hasmore information. The Min-nesota Office of the Secretary ofState also has information, andthere you can search for an indi-vidual business.
A person who believes theyhave a claim against a businessmust be sure to sue the properly-named entity, even in the moreinformal conciliation court.
John Doe may be the owner, themanager, or the “face” of thebusiness that harmed a person,but he may not necessarily bethe party to sue. If the businesscaused the harm, the lawsuit isagainst that business. A personcannot come into court afterthey’ve mistakenly sued Mr.Doe and explain, “but he’s theowner, judge.” Likewise, asuing party must use cautionwhen an insurance company isinvolved. Many businessescarry insurance to protect assetsagainst lawsuits. While the in-surance company may eventu-ally pay the damages caused bythe insured business, it’s not theinsurance company thatwronged the person—it’s thebusiness. So be sure to knowwho caused the harm before yousue. Consulting an attorney isbest.
Even if a person has identi-fied the right party to sue,though, they may not be able tobring their action in conciliationcourt. Jurisdiction is limited inconciliation court, meaning cer-tain claims cannot be brought.As noted, claims for more than$15,000 cannot be brought inconciliation court. Other spe-cific actions and claims are alsoprohibited, including class-ac-tion lawsuits, medical-malprac-tice claims, eviction andmarriage-dissolution actions,and claims involving title to realestate. So, even if you’ve prop-erly identified the party to sue,be sure you can sue in concilia-tion court. If you cannot suethere, you will have to proceedin district court.
It's quiet again here. Daugh-ter and Granddaughter went toWisconsin with a carload of stuffa college freshman would need.Before they left, they also filledup our SUV with more stuff acollege freshman might need,after putting stuff a collegefreshman won't need in ourgarage. Then they came back foreven more stuff and left a coupledays later. We will deliver ourstuff in a week or so just to makeour back seat useful again.
Granddaughter went to Chinawith a school group and returnedjust in time to take a driver's test.You can imagine how that went
after flying on a plane for hoursand hours and hours. Herlearner's permit was still good,though, and on their return—without her purse by mistake—it paid off. A copy of the permitproved sufficient. The statekeeps track of those things.Daughter is concerned with pay-ing off college, too, and men-tioned several times howimportant a job was going to be.But how many times does a kidget to go to China?
China! There were a dozenstudents on the trip, and theyeach raised a couple grand to go.It was no doubt a bargain. When
I was a high school senior, wegot to go to Columbia Park inNordeast Minneapolis. It didn'tcost two grand, and we didn'tneed a translator. I don't thinkDad even got to go Nordeast.
My first quarter at collegecost $58 for tuition. Grand-daughters are paying multitudesmore. Now they can get degreesin Women's Studies or Art His-tory instead of Business or En-gineering.
Another Granddaughter isgoing to Spain for a school yearto teach Spaniards English. It's along way to go when a goodshare of students here haven'tlearned English yet.
Uncles, four or five of them,went abroad free, but they had tocarry weapons and not collegetextbooks. I got to go abroadfree, too, but had to carry sys-tems work and a portable com-puter when they weighed about
forty pounds. Nobody shot atme.
We'll be in attendance foropening ceremonies at oneschool. Our yard has had a carparked under a tree for a yearwaiting for the girls. Now theyare licensed, but they will be anhour apart, and it's not my job tofigure out which one gets todrive, or when. The first one toget a job and can afford the extrainsurance cost will be the chauf-feur for the other one.
My college plan was to geton a bus to the U and try toschedule classes near the busline. It's no use comparing whatwent on way back when withmodern times. I didn't need acomputer. Come to think of it,there were no personal comput-ers, unless you invented one, andthen nobody could have con-versed with you anyway. Timeschange.
Never in my born
days did I think I’d
have something good
to say about Bull
Thistles. That’s be-
cause I was raised on
a dairy farm that also
had hogs and chick-
ens and grain (oats,
barley, and wheat)
was part of their
diets. This was be-
fore combines and
farmers cut their
small grain crops
with a machine
called a grain binder
which cut the stand-
ing grain and tied it
neatly in a bundle. One of my jobs during harvest was to stand one
bundle against another with six or eight in a shock. If you wanted to
get fancy you’d take a single bundle and place it lengthwise on the
top of upright bundles. I only did this if it was a wheat crop. This
was in the late forties and even though the crops were spot-sprayed
to kill the weeds, it seems there were always some thistles on parts
of the field. I got along pretty well with Canadian and sow-thistles,
but those bull thistles didn’t show any mercy! Working with the bun-
dles early in the morning while there was still dew took some of the
pain away when you’d have a bundle under each arm. Thank God
for combines!
Actually, when I took the photo above of some bull thistle blos-
soms in Ney Park I noticed the bumble-bees like to hang around them
and load up on nectar. That’s to say there is something good about a
weed that I despised and I’ll have to admit the fuchsia blossom adds
an attractive color along the park trails I’ve been hiking on with
Vanna. I guess the saying, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” fits
this situation even though the bull thistle is a noxious weed!

Ken Hennen and I took in three close state tournament baseball
games Saturday at Watkins and watched Lamberton edge Shakopee
2-1. At 1:30 p.m. Delano’s Jake Gleason held the Sleepy Eye nine
in check with first baseman Toby Hanson providing a solo home run
in the seventh inning which gave the Athletics a two-run lead. Trevor
Jaunich picked up a three-inning save behind some outstanding de-
fensive efforts at short and second base. They will play New Lon-
don-Spicer at 5 p.m. Saturday at Watkins. Rain threatening skies
opened up between the Delano game and the Kimball game (5:00
p.m.) and believe me the grounds crew didn’t need to wet down the
infield after that. Kimball won 3-2 over Nimrod in another close
game which was delayed briefly by rain. With the game tied 2-2
going into the ninth, Kimball went ahead 3-2 on Ben Johnson’s
homer and in the bottom of the inning first baseman, Kyle Winter,
caught a line-drive shot for the third out and subsequent win. Adam
Beyer also had a round-tripper. They will play Ada Sunday at 11 a.m.
in Watkins. Ken and I stayed for about three innings of the Roseau-
Cannon Falls game. Roseau was ahead 1-0, but lost 6-2. Cannon
Falls goes on to play Bertha who has a former Laker pitcher, John
Riewer, on the line-up along with four other Riewers. Region champ
Howard Lake will play Lastrup at 7:30 p.m. at Cold Spring Saturday.
Lastrup defeated Fairmont 5-4 on Sunday. Going to the Watkins
games for Hennen was just like an old-home week as he was born
and raised on a farm in that area and still knows a lot of the people
living there, including relatives. Watkins residents can take pride in
the work they did to get their Clipper baseball park ready for the
tournament. It took a lot of hard work and cooperation and it shows
in the finished product. They re-built their grandstand, installed for-
mer Viking seats and added a concession stand and souvenir store
along with a first-class scoreboard to complement the diamond and
outfield. It reminded me of Iowa’s “field of dreams” with corn fields
circling the outfield. They have fan porches, one elevated, on both
sides.

It’s in your courtby Judge Steve Halsey
Dear Editor,Most drivers on the road have
seen a law enforcement officerperforming a traffic stop. Someof you may have even experi-enced the traffic stop first-hand!Whichever the case, a number ofdrivers are still not aware of aMinnesota Law requiring driv-ers to move over one lane whenpassing a stopped emergencyvehicle(s) or road repair equip-ment. This law is known as the“Ted Foss Law.” On August 31,law enforcement all across Min-nesota will be working to edu-cate drivers of this law.
The law is designed to giveemergency vehicles room towork on the portion of roadwaythey are occupying by requiringpassing motorists (who are driv-ing on roads with at least twolanes traveling in the same di-rection) to leave a lane vacantbetween them and those parkedemergency vehicles. The lawalso requires that drivers reducetheir speed as they pass the loca-tion of the emergency vehicle(s)
and road repair equipment. Fail-ure to do so could result in atraffic citation and fine.
Motor vehicle hits continueto be a leading cause of deathamong Minnesota Law Enforce-ment Officers and emergencyworkers. The law is named forMinnesota State Patrol Trooper,Ted Foss, who was conducting atraffic stop for a speeding mo-torist and was speaking to thedriver when another vehicleveered over and struck his squadcar. Trooper Foss died at thescene.
Law enforcement, emer-gency responders and roadcrews serve to keep roads safefor the motoring public. It is theresponsibility of motorists topay attention to ensure the safetyof those performing what areoften life-saving duties on theroads.
Sincerely,Trooper Kevin BriskMN State PatrolSafe Communities of Wright

To the Editor:Before we begin the business
of electing a president in 2016,we should pause a moment toappreciate President BarackObama. A recent article inForbes Business Magazine (Iknow! - Forbes!) presents datathat indicates that PresidentObama is the "best economicpresident in modern times".When his economic record(more than 64 straight months ofjob growth) is combined withthe ending of 2 wars and provid-ing health care to additional mil-lions of Americans, it is apparentthat we should be asking Presi-dent Obama to serve a thirdterm. I am not a great friend ofthe Republican Party, but itseems only fair to point out thatfewer jobs, more wars and lesshealth care may not be a winningstrategy.
Knowing that Democrats tra-ditionally are better stewards ofthe American economy, somemay suggest that the conserva-tive vote should be regulated in
the interests of a better life forAmericans. Should we shortenvoting hours or restrict absenteevoting or require some identifi-cation for conservatives? I thinknot...voter suppression was abad idea when Republicans triedto make it more difficult for mi-norities and students to vote, andit is an equally bad idea to sup-press the conservative vote forthe sake of the economy. Ours isa democracy; there is no law thatrequires people to vote for theirown best interest.
Economists would agree thatthe American economy is funda-mentally strong, and it should beable to withstand an occasionalRepublican presidency so longas it is followed by a Democraticpresident to restore prosperity.While our recovery is real, it isfragile. It is probably too risky tochange course in 2016, but thereis no reason that voters could notat least consider a Republicanpresident in 2024.

Aug. 17 Wright County Attorney’s report
by John HollerCorrespondent
The Wright County Board ofCommissioners heard a presen-tation at its Aug. 18 meetingfrom Auditor/Treasurer Bob Hi-ivala concerning the bonding forthe $17.3 million Public WorksBuilding project, but ran into arare instance of deciding whetherto vote on the matter with justthree commissioners in atten-dance or to lay the item over.
At question was the opportu-nity to split the bond issue in twobonding cycles in hopes of sav-ing significant money in theprocess.
“We have an opportunity tobreak that bond into two seg-ments,” Hiivala said. “If we keepit at $10 million or less, we canoffer it out on the market as bankqualified, meaning more peoplecan bid on it and a local bank canbuy those bonds. The belief is,through the financial advisers,that we will get more competi-tive bids on those bonds becausethere will be that many morebids that we can receive forthem.”
The proposal would be totake the $17.28 bond for theproject and break it up into one
bid proposal for $10 million andanother for $7.28 million andmake them two separate bond is-sues. Under the numbers thatSpringstead estimated to thecounty, the savings would be ap-proximately $35,000 a year,which would add up to $700,000over the life of the bonds.
The board didn’t make a de-cision on the bond question or apotential opportunity to refi-nance the bonds on the Law En-forcement Center because theboard met with only three com-missioners. Commissioners PatSawatzke and Christine Husomwere attending a mock terroristattack exercise at the MonticelloNuclear Power Plant’s Emer-gency Operations Center, leav-ing the five-member board withjust three at the Aug. 18 meeting.
“It’s something that weshould look at because of thevolatility of the bond market,”Hiivala said. “The amount of po-tential savings is pretty signifi-cant and we’re spendingtaxpayer money for these proj-ects. Anywhere we can savemoney, we want to do it.”

Buying food grown locallyhelps strengthen communitiesand puts fresh, healthy food onthe dinner plates. Sourcing lo-cally also helps grow our under-standing and appreciation of thefarms, orchards and vineyardsin the region. When restaurantsand other food service organi-zations highlight local food ontheir menus, they stand out in acrowded marketplace.
To make more of this hap-pen, University of MinnesotaExtension, Local Roots FoodCo-op and the Crow River FoodCouncil are hosting a match-making event on September23rd, 1-5 p.m. at the WrightCounty Government Center, 102nd St. NW, Buffalo, MN55313, Room 120, that willbring together producers and in-stitutional buyers—schools,restaurants, caterers and busi-nesses--of locally-producedfoods for an informationalevent and networking exercise.
Direct marketing helps pro-ducers manage market risk bygiving them more control overhow and when they sell theirproducts, more control overpricing and a greater share ofthe revenue from sales. Institu-tional buyers likewise gainmore control of their supplychain by dealing directly withproducers to communicate spe-cific requirements.
By providing training and
creating direct connections thisevent can provide producerswith the skills they need to sellto new kinds of buyers and theopportunity to connect one-on-one with restauranteurs, chefs,distributors, marketing net-works, and institutional buyerswho wish to feature local foodsin their menus. A “speed dat-ing” technique, successfullyused in other parts of the state,will be used to make connec-tions between producers andbuyers.
Extension specialists andother experts will speak about‘things to know’ for buyers andfor producers. Several produc-ers and their buyers will sharetheir stories and answer ques-tions. Some topics to be dis-cussed will be: fair pricing,contracts, quality standards,food safety, storage, aggrega-tion and delivery.
Space is limited. The first 10producers and 10 buyers to reg-ister will participate in thematch-making session. Othersare welcome to attend, learnand observe.
More information is avail-able at the crowriverfoodcoun-cil.org andextension.umn.edu/county/wright/ websites. Please register bySeptember 16th by contactingthe Wright County ExtensionOffice at 763-682-7394, or e-mail [email protected].

2015 Fantasy FootballPreview
There’s no denying fantasyfootball is huge. It’s everywhereand over the last couple ofdecades, it has completelychanged the way fans follow thegame. With less than three
weeks to go until the seasonopener, many leagues havedrafted already. And, many ofthose leagues are not smart, be-cause as we’ve learned this pre-season, with Kelvin Benjaminand potentially Jordy Nelson,key players can and will go
down before the real seasoneven starts.
Instead of a typical previewlike any other you can find on-line, listing my top players ateach position, this preview willlist my favorite selection, byround, as I compile a completefantasy team. Using ESPN’splayer PPR (point per reception)rankings, we’ll make selectionsbased on playing in a 12-teamleague, with a 15-man roster,starting one QB, two RBs, threeWRs, one RB/WR flex, one TE,one K, and one D/ST and hav-ing five bench spots.
RD1: (Julio Jones, WR At-lanta) – Obviously, if I’m pick-ing first or second overall, I’mtaking either Le’Veon Bell orAdrian Peterson. But, as asomewhat sneaky mid- to late-first round pick, Jones couldhave a monster year for the Fal-cons and finish the year as thebest WR in fantasy. Yes, his
TDs were down in 2014, but inPPR, his receptions make up forthat. Look for 100+ catches,1,500+ yards and 10+ TDs.
RD2: (C.J. Anderson, RBDenver) – The job is clearly An-derson’s heading into the sea-son. And with Gary Kubiakback in Denver, the Broncosfigure to be more run orientedthan in the past. In the secondhalf of 2014, once being desig-nated as the go-to guy in Den-ver’s ground game, Andersonrushed for 767 yards and 8 TDs.He also caught 30 balls for 290yards and 2 more TDs.
RD3: (Brandin Cooks, WRNew Orleans) – One of my draftday rules is to lean toward WRswho have the benefit of playingwith an elite QB. Drew Brees isjust that, whereas any HoustonTexans’ QB is not and that is themain reason Cooks gets the nodover DeAndre Hopkins, for me.I wouldn’t be surprised to see
Cooks get 150 targets in 2015,after getting 70 in his injury-shortened rookie campaign.
RD4: (Andrew Luck, QB In-dianapolis) – This pick goesagainst everything I stand for, asa fantasy owner. Usually one towait on QBs, this time around,my squad needed some stability.Although I love Oakland rookieWR, Amari Cooper, with theunproven Cooks already on myteam and WR being a deep po-sition, Luck just made too muchsense. With Luck, you knowyou’re getting 20+ points nearlyevery week.
RD5: (Joseph Randle, RBDallas) – The WRs in thisgroup, Vincent Jackson, Bran-don Marshall, and SammyWatkins were less than appeal-ing and RD5 is far too high fora TE, so Randle it is. Onething’s for sure; he’ll be runningbehind a great offensive line. Ifyou have a poor memory, De-Marco Murray ran for 1,845yards last season, behind thesame line. Another unprovencommodity, Randle will have anamazing opportunity to shine in2015.
RD6: (Martavis Bryant, WRPittsburgh) – In the search formy third WR position, Bryantgets the nod over a host of vet-erans and over Arizona’s JohnBrown, who I love. The reason?Big Ben. Roethlisberger hasn’tmissed action in two years,whereas Brown is one moreCarson Palmer injury awayfrom Drew Stanton or LoganThomas. In his first four games,Bryant caught six TDs. At 6’4”,he’s a great red zone target forBig Ben.
RD7: (Joique Bell, RB De-troit) – For the record, nobodyin this group blew my socks off,so Bell was the selection for tworeasons. 1) He is the starter andwill get a bulk of the carries inDetroit, at least until he losesthe job to rookie Ameer Abdul-lah. 2) With the uncertainty ofJoseph Randle, Bell is the oneplayer in the group that could beinserted into the starting line-upwith confidence…again, untilAbdullah takes his job.

Back to school season can beas expensive for parents as it isexciting for students. Once theinitial letdown of the end ofsummer vacation wears off,many kids are excited to returnto school, where they can seetheir friends, study their favoritesubjects and participate in ex-tracurricular activities.
Parents of school-agedyoungsters may share in that ex-citement while also knowingthat back to school season canstretch their budgets. One of theways to salvage those budgets isto save on school supplies. For-tunately, there are several waysparents can do just that.
· Be patient. Shopping earlycan save shoppers money in
many instances, but parents maybenefit by exercising patiencewhen it comes to buying schoolsupplies for their children.Teachers often give students listsof supplies they will need foreach class, and parents who waitto receive such lists can avoidspending money on items theirkids won't need. Even if youwait it out, you may be able toget a head start, as some teachersmay post supply lists on schoolwebsites, while others mightemail lists to parents before backto school season hits full swing.
· Take inventory. If you havemore than one child, chances areyou already have lots of schoolsupplies around the house. Dustoff kids' backpacks and study
areas from last school year to de-termine which supplies you needto buy and which you alreadyhave. Going forward, encouragekids to store their supplies in apredetermined area once theschool year ends, as this willmake next year's inventory thatmuch easier to examine and as-sess.
· Spend more now to savelater. While inexpensive sup-plies can be hard to resist, suchitems likely won't withstand thetest of time, forcing you to spendtime and money each year buy-ing replacement supplies. Pay-ing more now for certain items,including stronger backpacksand more highly rated calcula-tors, may end up saving you
money in the long run, even ifthe initial pill is somewhat toughto swallow.
· Use technology to your ad-vantage. Department stores andbusinesses that sell school sup-plies, such as pharmacies and of-fice stores, may or may notdiscount too many items onceback to school season hits fullswing. But savvy parents canstill find deals by using technol-ogy to their advantage whenshopping for school supplies.Download apps like Retail-MeNot to your smartphone andenable its updates so your phoneessentially notifies you of anydiscounts the moment you walkinto a given store. If you don'treceive any updates, search for
discounts via the app or the In-ternet as you shop. Chances arestrong that there are deals to behad, even if you don't learn ofthe deals until you arrive at thestore.
School supplies can be ex-pensive, but parents can employseveral strategies to save onschool supplies now and in thefuture.
The planned sale date is setfor Oct. 5 with an issuing dateset for late October. The countyintends to have the bid docu-ments ready by Sept. 1 for banksto evaluate to determine ifthey’re looking to bid on theproject. The board unanimouslyvoted to lay the item over untilall five commissioners are ableto discuss and vote on the pro-posal.
In other items on the Aug. 18agenda, the board:
* Approved a two-year con-tract with the Teamsters Local320, which represents the court-house unit. The contract runsthrough Dec. 31, 2016.
* Authorized signatures ontwo-year law enforcement con-tracts with the cities of St.Michael, Montrose and SouthHaven. The St. Michael contractcalls for 32 hours of deputy pa-trol service, while the Montrosecontract is four eight hours a dayand the South Haven contract isfor four hours per week.
* Approved a contract forU.S. Bank for the use of pur-chasing cards for the county. De-
partment heads will be able touse the purchasing cards simi-larly to the way credit cards areused. The purpose of the cardswas to reduce the number ofchecks that the county cuts tovendors for purchases made bydepartment heads. Auditor/Trea-surer Bob Hiivala said that thepurchasing policy needs to beupdated, since the policy cur-rently in place has been the samesince the late 1980s.
* Approved paying an addi-tional $2,800 above the mini-mum salary for the hiring of anassistant county attorney. Thecandidate was extremely quali-fied and previously worked withthe attorney general’s office.County Attorney Tom Kelly saidthe candidate has a wealth oftrial experience and a strong re-sume of different caseloads thatgive her experience that most at-torneys don’t have and she wasextremely qualified for the posi-tion at a salary of $70,000. Itwas the first time in Kelly’s 31years with the Wright CountyAttorney’s office that he hasmade such a request.
* Held a public hearing forproposed amendments to theWright County Water SurfaceUse Ordinance. The amend-ments included a correction tothe no-wake elevation on LakeAnn, lowering the triggeringpoint for a no-wake zone to987.5 feet, down from 990.5 feet– which will impose a no-wakespeed zone to 300 feet fromshore. The other amendmentwas for Lake Charlotte, whichwould impose a no-wake zone150 feet from shore betweenMemorial Day and Labor Day.Two residents spoke up, one infavor of the amendment sayingit would be a best managementpractice, and another saying it’simpossible to regulate, ex-tremely difficult to enforce andan undue regulation that isn’tnecessary in most instances. Theboard approved the amend-ments, but it nearly failed be-cause there were only threecommissioners and, in that in-stance, a unanimous vote is re-quired to meet the standard ofthree of the five commissionersvoting the same way to approve
or deny a request because Com-missioner Charlie Borrell said hehas some reservations about vot-ing in favor of the proposal.
* Approved a revised budgetcommittee of the whole sched-ule. At the Aug. 11 meeting, theboard approved a schedule, butthere was a conflict with the sur-veyor’s office from Sept. 3 toAug. 27 due to a scheduling con-flict.
* Accepted the minutes fromthe building committee meetingof Aug. 12. The board approvedproceeding with a remodeling ofthe new law library with anamount not to exceed $12,353,moving forward with the devel-opment of an Information Tech-nology training room with anot-to-exceed cost of $26,502and approved a $3,000 quote forthe repair of the roof at the exist-ing Public Works Building.
* Appointed Chris Uecker tothe Clearwater River WatershedDistrict Board of Supervisors.
* Authorized signatures on amaintenance agreement withMeeker County for CSAH 2 andCSAH 21.

Music will also be added tothe curriculum to help round outthe classroom. A piano sits inthe middle of the room, near aside of the classroom that hasheadphones and a music player,designed as a listening area forthe children. Hennen said thatduring breaks or whenever nec-essary, she will sit at the pianoand play for the children. Musictime will also include lessonsand sing-a-longs with the stu-dents.
With all these outlets for op-portunity and learning, the stu-dents will have manyanxiety-free ways to adjust tothe classroom. The class will bea social one, and will help adaptstudents to being with othersand learning new ways of prob-
lem solving and education, andfor some, their first real in-classeducation in a social setting.
Hennen and Kincs are veryoptimistic that the new pre-school will be a great addition tothe school. They will also en-courage a very open relationshipwith the parents, some of whichthey’ve already had a chance tospeak with during their Juneopen house.
In their opinion, having agood relationship with the fam-ily lets the parents know thattheir children are in good handsand that the educators will get toknow them personally whichwill help alleviate any worriesor concerns a parent may have.Hennen and Kincs even men-tioned that they will work
around families’ schedules tothe best of their abilities, reduc-ing stress of time frames.
There will be an open houseSeptember 2 between 5 p.m. and7 p.m. to meet any newcomersor already registered studentsand parents.
Hennen and Kincs men-tioned that they had room fornew or prospective families andhighly recommend that inter-ested families stop in and take alook at what they have to offer.
For more information, pleasecontact Principal Kincs or St.Timothy's School at (320) 963-3417 or email [email protected].

RD8: (LeGarrette Blount,RB New England) – TDs, TDs,and more TDs. Blount wouldn’tbe worth starting until Week 6,assuming that’s when TomBrady returns from his suspen-sion. But, on a Tom Brady-ledoffense, it would be worth tak-ing a flier on Blount, simply forhis TD potential. You may re-call, in a game that becamemuch more famous for anotherreason, Blount rushed for 148yards and 3 TDs in the Patriot’s45-7 playoff win against theColts.
RD9: (Nelson Agholor, WRPhiladelphia) – If you read my“15 Bold Predictions for the ‘15Season” piece, you know I’mhigh on the rookie from USC.In a Chip Kelly offense and
with Jeremy Maclin now inKansas City, Agholor, who hasbig play ability, should see hisfair share of targets, as the No.2 WR behind Jordan Matthews.
RD10: (Davante Adams,WR Green Bay) – The pickhere was a TE until the news onJordy Nelson. If Nelson is in-deed out for the year with a tornACL, Adams will undoubtedlyfly up draft boards. But for now,he’s No. 120 and a no-brainer,as the potential new No. 2 inGreen Bay. He showed flasheslast season and with AaronRodgers tossing him the ball,you can’t go wrong.
RD11: (Teddy Bridgewater,QB Minnesota) – Because, itdoesn’t hurt to have a back-up,even if your starter is Andrew
Luck. And, who doesn’t loveTeddy?
RD12: (Brian Quick, WR St.Louis) – Entering the season asthe Ram’s top WR, Quickstarted hot in 2014 before beingderailed by injuries. In his firstfour games, he caught 21 ballsfor 322 yards and 3 TDs, goodfor 17.3 fantasy points pergame.
RD13: (New England Patri-ots Defense/Special Teams) – Iwanted to hold out and grab theVikings defense in the lastround, but every time an in-triguing TE was on the board, amore intriguing RB or WR wasthere as well. Besides, the Patri-ots do get four games this yearagainst the New York Jets andBuffalo Bills, offenses led by
anemic QBs.RD14: (Dan Bailey, K Dal-
las) – Best kicker available, heplays in a kicker-friendly sta-dium and will get plenty ofchances, in Dallas’ high-pow-ered offense.
RD15: (Ladarius Green, TESan Diego) If I miss out on“Gronk,” I was to be the last inmy league to take a TE, as itgets to the point where they’rebasically all the same. Lastyear, I was a year early onGreen, drafting him in the lastround, but this year, with thesuspension to Antonio Gates,Green will have four weeks tomake an impression. OnceGates returns, though, it lookslike it could be waiver wiretime.
The Catchcontinued from page 6
At this year’s Wright CountyFair, the ambassadors sharedtheir final time as ambassadorsas Maria, Amy and Chelsea eachpassed on their crowns to the2015-2016 Fairest of the FairAmbassadors. “My favoritememory from my year as aFairest of the Fair Ambassadorwould be letting little girls fromdifferent communities try on mycrown and being able to showthem that they are the trueprincesses,” said Zaske.
Although she passed on hercrown earlier this month, Zaske’sjourney with the Fairest of theFair is far from over. For the firsttime in Maple Lake’s history, thetown will have two representa-tives at the MinneapolisAquatennial: Zaske, who gradu-
ated from Maple Lake HighSchool in 2014 and will be rep-resenting the Wright CountyFair, and one of the currentMaple Lake Ambassadors. “I amso excited and I feel extremelyhonored to represent the WrightCounty Fair at the MinneapolisAquatennial in 2016. I haveheard so many great things aboutbeing a candidate and the pro-gram itself so I am thrilled to ex-perience it myself,” said Zaskeon being selected to attendAquatennial in 2016.
It goes without saying that thecommunity of Maple Lake,along with Wright County as awhole, wishes Zaske the best inher adventure at Aquatennial2016 and the rest of her life’s en-deavors.
