Its the kindness of strangers,

of friends, of family, of community that weaves its way through
the story of the house fire at
2518 County Road 8 NW in
Chatham Township very early
Wednesday morning.
Shane Jurgens, owner of SJ
Roofing, long-time Maple Lake
area business, his wife, Karina,
their two children, Gabe, 9 and
Emily 6, and Karinas 15-yearold twins, Kora and Katelyn
Fuller, were awakened just after
midnight by loud blows to the
front door.
We were all in bed, sleeping, the pounding on the door
startled us, said Karina. A
truck driver passing by saw the
fire and was trying to wake us
up - there was a lady that
stopped, too, I dont know if
they were together or not, it
seems like she was doing most
of the talking and he was helping get the kids out.
I heard the pounding, heard
Karina start hollering to get the
kids moving and thought somebody was breaking in, said
Shane.
The first Good Samaritan
who saw the fire and stopped to
warn the family was Bill
Muehring of South Haven, a delivery trucker for Bernatellos
heading to Mankato. I saw the
flames and thought the deck was
on fire, said Muehring. I had
the sheriffs number in my
phone so I pushed that instead
of 911. I ran to the house and
started pounding on the door at
the deck end of the house, didnt
hear anything so I worked my
way around to the other end. By
that time I could see flames
spreading and really started
pounding. After I finally woke
them up things started happening pretty fast- another person
driving by, a woman, stopped to
help, the kids got out and the
first fire trucks got there. I was
on the South Haven Fire Department for 22 years so I stayed
and helped pull hoses for a little
bit until a sheriffs deputy told
me I needed to get my truck off
the road.
The woman who stopped is
unknown. The Jurgens family
would like to thank her personally for her help that night and
encourages her to make herself
known.
My first priority was getting
my wife and all the kids out,
said Shane. Then I grabbed
fire extinguishers and tried to
put out the fire on the deck, but
things started falling around me
so I quit and ran to get our dog,
Sydney, out of the garage.

Maple Lake at 2515 County Rd. 8 NW, in Chatham Township. (Photo by Vicki Grimmer)
The fire, which was determined by the Cause and Origins
inspector to have started from
faulty electrical wiring to the
alarm for the mound septic system, began in the outside wall of
a tuck-under garage and proceeded quickly to the deck and
into the family room above the
garage.
Maple Lake Fire Chief, Todd
Borell, was one of the responding firefighters. When we were
paged we were told the deck
was on fire, the second page
said that they were getting
everybody out, and by the time
we got there the house was
burning. said Borell. We
called in Buffalo and Annandale
for mutual aid, they were a great
help.
It only took about 5 minutes
to get everybody up and running, said Karina. My car was
parked in front and the kids and
I were rushing to get in it and
out of the house. By then the
smoke was getting really dense
- it followed us into the car,
everybody was coughing. We
had to pull out on the road to try
to get away from the smoke.
The fire started in the outside of the house and was working its way around, said Shane.
I didnt even see it until I
pulled the family room curtains
open - then you saw the flames
- those were the first windows to
blow in. I started to try to get
things out of the house when the
fire trucks started coming in.
Maple Lake was the first to get
there, then Buffalo and Annandale.

Long-time Maple Lake resident and business owner, Zita

Manuel, passed away April 20,
2015, at the St. Cloud Hospital
at the age of 85.
Born in 1930, Zita Margaret
Steichen married Andrew
Manuel in 1950. Zita, along
with husband, Andy, (also deceased) moved to Maple Lake
in 1952. Having met while both
were working at Webers Grocery and Meats in Watkins, it
was fitting that their first business venture in Maple Lake was
to purchase the grocery store
business from Frank Ruff. That
business became Andys Meat
Market. In 1960 the couple purchased Trotters Red Owl from
Bob Trotter changing the name
to Andys Red Owl and merging
the grocery store and meat market into one business. At that
time the store was located on
Birch where the Maple Lake
Laundromat most recently was.
Soon after a new building was
built to house the business on
what is now an empty lot at the
corner of Division St. and Birch
Ave. Not long after that the
business expanded to include a
locker plant in the old creamery
building.
I remember her best sitting
on a stool behind the counter at
the Red Owl checking people
out, said Carole Bestland, manager of Maple Lake Wine and
Spirits. She was always so
prim and pretty, always ready to
lend a hand.
The couple had six children,
Bruce, Roger, Carol, Laurence,
Alice and Paul. All six attended
Maple Lake schools and grew
up taking turns working in the
store. Roger purchased the grocery business from his parents
in 1985, Andy passed away in
1987.
Manuel continued to be active in the community, serving
on many boards and committees, including the Maple Lake
Commercial Club and as a
member of the Maple Lake
City Council from 1990-1994.
Mike Messina, Maple Lake
Mayor during Manuels term remembers her as a very giving
person, very pro-Maple Lake,
always wanting the best for her
town.
John Northernscold, current
Maple Lake Councilman,
served with Manuel on the
Council, and recalls Manuel
warmly. She was a very good
woman, raised a great family,
said Northernscold. I remember the Red Owl always had an
orchid corsage for the women
on Mothers Day.
Her final business venture in
Maple Lake was Manuels Costume Shop, making and renting
costumes from her home with
daughter, Carol, until 2010.

Ten-year-old Trevor Pribyls

birthday wish to take his gifts
and give them to other sick children in the hospital was met with
approval from more than his
fourth-grade class. With family,
friends and social media getting
the word out, over 500 gifts were
delivered to the University of
Minnesotas Childrens Hospital
on Monday.
According to Trevors mom,
Rachel Pribyl, the hospital staff
was very excited to receive gifts
now. Everyone brings gifts at
Christmas time, they said, never
in the spring or summer.
This week has been a blessing, said Rachel. The support
of the Maple Lake community is
amazing! I do not have words,
we are just so proud of Trevor for
wanting to help others, and how
his small act of kindness grew
into a great day for so many.
KARE 11 TV, contacted by

Maple Lake Councilwoman Deb
Geyen, was there to film the
event, highlighting it on Mondays 6 p.m. news broadcast.
Trevor was shocked when I

told him that the news was going
to do a story on him. I don't think
he believed me, said Rachel.

Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Im hearing pheasant roosters crowing on most of my walks in
Ney Park which Ill take to mean they have survived our mild winter
in good shape. Ive also seen a few pheasant hens which makes me
even happier because theyre a source for larger pheasant populations next fall. I havent noticed any pheasant road kills and the less
there are is also good for next fall. It was pointed out to me recently
that each hen road kill means that hens potential brood of 8 to 10
chicks have been lost forever. Sometimes its impossible to avoid a
road kill, whether its a pheasant or a deer, but I dont think road
kills are part of Mother Natures plan to control the species. After
not seeing the two resident eagles in Ney Park for a good month or
so, I was pleasantly surprised Sunday morning when they were both
sitting in trees near the nest. It was one of the few times I didnt have
a camera along and I quietly chastised myself for the blunder. . .

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will postpone
the new aquatic invasive species training and trailer decal program
that was due to launch at the end of the month while legislators consider changes to the program.
Under a law passed by the state Legislature in 2012, anyone trailering a boat or water-related equipment such as docks and lifts in
Minnesota is required to take aquatic invasive species training and
display a decal on their trailer. The effective date is July 1, 2015.
With the legislative interest in this educational program and ongoing discussions about possible changes, we are postponing the
launch until we see if the Legislature acts this session to modify the
program, said Bob Meier, DNR assistant commissioner.

Ask a
Trooper
by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: Just a question I
am sure you have heard 1000
times. Why are trucks with loud
mufflers ticketed and all of these
motorcycles going around town
revving up their pipes are not? Is
there a difference in the statutes?
Answer: This is a good question that I am asked quite often.
Minnesota
State
Statute
(M.S.S.) 169.69 says; Every
motor vehicle shall at all times
be equipped with a muffler in
good working order which
blends the exhaust noise into the
overall vehicle noise and is in
constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise, and no
person shall use a muffler
cutout, bypass, or similar device
upon a motor vehicle on a street
or highway. The exhaust system
shall not emit or produce a sharp
popping or crackling sound.
Every motor vehicle shall at all
times be equipped with such
parts and equipment so arranged

and kept in such state of repair
as to prevent carbon monoxide
gas from entering the interior of
the vehicle. No person shall
have for sale, sell or offer for
sale or use on any motor vehicle
any muffler that fails to comply
with the specifications as required by the commissioner of
public safety.
M.S.S. 7030.1050 talks in
more depth about motor vehicle
noise limits for motorcycles.
Motorcycle season has
begun. We need everyone on the
highway and roadways to do
their part to help everyone get
home safely to our families.

issue before they adjourn so well have to wait and see!

With Minnesotas fishing season set to open May 9th this might
be a good time to review the rules that apply to bait which are as follows:
If you are fishing with minnows or leeches a number of restrictions apply like you must exchange water in bait buckets with tap or
bottled water prior to leaving any water body, except when you are
fishing through the ice. You cannot dispose of unwanted minnows
or leeches in Minnesota waters. Unused bait, including night
crawlers should be put in the garbage. You cannot use whole or parts
of game fish, goldfish or carp for bait. Its also a good boating rule
to have the required safety equipment in your boat such as life jackets, a floating devise such as a cushion which can be tossed to someone overboard. Keep an extra drain plug, a fire extinguisher, an air
horn or similar noisemaker like a whistle. There are different rules
for different sized boats, canoes, and kayaks and maybe even a raft
so Id suggest reviewing the boating laws from the DNR which has
that information.
This year the Governors Fishing Opener will be at Lake Vermillion and I suspect that lake will be inundated with the usual governors group of fishing dignitaries as well as the news media and by
other walleye anglers. Daryl Hennen and his boys will be fishing
there on the opener as he has in past years along with Adams father-in-law from Duluth. Hes one of many volunteers working with
others during the governors opener. . . I went to one in Alexandria years ago when Thomas Marine supplied the boat (or pontoon)
for that fishing opener when Minnesotas governor was Arnie Carlson. The day was complete with a shore lunch for everyone in attendance, but it wasnt because I caught any fish. As I remember it,
I got skunked! This year Im planning on making the opener in Ottertail County, probably on the lake that bears the county name. My
brother Marlin consented to fish with me provided the weather is
tolerable for a couple of senior citizens. Considering how winter
fishing wasnt all that good for me, Im looking forward to a couple
of days of angling and hopefully have some luck with the walleyes
keeping in mind a poor day of fishing is better than a good day at
work!

Due to the smaller size of
motorcycles, their speed and distance is more difficult to judge.

Dear Editor,
My name is Kenneth
Nyquist and I am a life scout
and assistant senior patrol
leader of troop 219 in Maple
Lake. I have been a Scout for 9
years and I have many good
memorable experiences, camping trips, community service
projects such as tree planting,
food drives, ditch clean-up, the
renovation of Jude Hall, and
trail maintenance. Scouting has
taught me values, responsibility, and leadership skills, but
like all good things, it does
come at a cost. So to pay for

these costs, we are having a
fundraiser Saturday, May 2nd,
between 6 and 8 p.m. at the
Maple Lake American Legion.
The theme is 'Mexican Fiesta
Night with a taco bar, featuring ground and shredded beef,
shredded pork, chips and salsa,
lemonade, a desert bar, and a
silent auction with lots of nice
things to bid on. You can have
fun and learn more about Scouting.

Business Brief
R&D Performance does it the Wright way

by Brenda Erdahl
Correspondent
There is a new business in

town and owner Bob Wright offers a unique service there.
At R&D Performance, Wright
specializes in high performance
Harley Davidson Motorcycles.
Located across from the
Maple Lake Fire Department at
115 Division Street West, Wright
is skilled in cylinder head porting, cylinder boring, big bore
kits, exhaust installations and
throttle body installations, among
other things.
Harley enthusiasts from all
over the country - from as far
away as Alaska - bring their machines to Wright to get them performing at their highest potential.
A lot of people claim to do
what I do, but dont, he said.
Wright has been in the business for more than 20 years. For
the majority of that time he ran
his business out of Watertown.

Before that he worked at a couple
Harley Davidson dealerships, including one in Minneapolis, he
said. He decided to move R&D
Performance to Maple Lake this
spring to be closer to his home
near Lake Maria.
As the owner, and only mechanic, Wright can guarantee the
job will be done right. He has
been known to build custommade motorcycles and has even
constructed a Harley or two for
celebrities, but he will also take
time to do general service on his
customers Harleys if that is what
they are looking for.
While he doesnt sell motorcycles, he does sell Harley
Davidson parts. He also sells
parts for ATVs and snowmobiles.
R&D Performance is open
from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.. Call
320-963-6850 for an appointment.
County participates in
annual Boy/Girl County Day
by John Holler
Correspondent
As the Wright County Board

of Commissioners opened its
April 21 meeting, the audience
section of the county boardroom was filled. It wasnt a
group of citizens in for a public
hearing. It was a collection of
high school juniors as part of
the annual Boy/Girl County
Day.
The program has been in
place for more than 25 years
and Wright County is one of just
two counties in the state that has
such a program. The purpose of
Boy/Girl County Day is to expose high school juniors to the
inner workings of county government. At this years Boy/Girl
County Day, students from Buffalo, Delano, Maple Lake and
Monticello were represented.
Lori Pawelk of the human
services department.is in charge
the event at the county level and
said the students are selected
based on their desirability to
seek out government employment careers.
The students selected are
boys and girls at the top of their
classes that are interested in

government, Pawelk said. Its
the American Legion that puts
on the event, so there are also
students involved who are promilitary. Theyre the people
most likely to get involved in
careers in government.
The county board meeting
was just the first of a series of
introductions to county departments. After meeting with the
commissioners, the students
heard long presentations from
the courts (district court, county
attorney and court services) as
well as the sheriffs department.
In the afternoon, they heard
shorter presentations from department heads representing the
administration, assessor, extension, highway, human services,
Information Technology, parks
planning and zoning, recorder,
surveyor and veteran services
departments.
The benefit for the students
is that they get exposed to potential careers they might not
even know exist.

Clean-up ordered for

flea market and musuem
by Katie Friedman
Correspondent
Maple Lakes City Council

addressed matters of tidiness and
outdoor storage with resident
John Haack Tuesday, April 21,
reiterating previously-set parameters and setting hard deadlines
for compliance.
Haack, who has been operating a flea market for the past four
years on a grassy area outside of
his developing Maple Lake Museum, recently salvaged a number of large, wooden vendor
tables from the former Osowskis
Flea Market in Monticello Township and placed them outside the
museum building, along with a
number of other miscellaneous
articles the city has already requested to be moved indoors. In
response to a phone call from
city staff indicating that the tables outdoor presence is unacceptable at any time the flea
market is not open, Haack attended the meeting to discuss the
matter with the council.
Mayor Lynn Kissock opened
the discussion by characterizing
items on the buildings steps and
backyard as an eyesore that
residents and visitors have noticed and remarked upon for the
past year. The tables, she said,
have now become an additional
issue, and deferred to City Attorney Rhonda Pagel, who affirmed
that according to local ordinance,
such items are required to be either stored indoors or screened
from public view.
Haack said the tables are
heavy and would be difficult to
move on a weekly basis. Calling
the citys request excessive, he
offered to paint the tables and
suggested they be allowed to remain outdoors for the length of
the flea market season. Council
members said that while they applaud Haacks efforts to bring
commerce and visitors to Maple
Lake, an original understanding
that his business is to remain inside a fence line has been consistently ignored, and remains a
source of ongoing frustration.
John Rivers, a neighbor and
self-described friend of Haacks,
was also in attendance and
voiced his opinion on the issue.

Volunteers wanted to clean up Lake Maria Park
And thats the

way it was . . .
Heres How It Works:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into
nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must
fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in
which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already
provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier
it gets to solve the puzzle!

Try Bartlett Pears in this elegant and super easy

dessert!
Arrange sliced pears in individual goblets.
Spoon a mixture of half creme de cocoa and half
cream over pears. Top with a sprinkling of powdered
instant coffee and shaved chocolate.
For a nonalcoholic version...try replacing creme de
cocoa with chocolate milk or chocolate almond milk.
The chocolate milk will be slightly thicker than the
creme de cocoa. Adjust the amount according to
your taste.

We Act Silent campaign at Maple Lake High School
On Tuesday, April 21st, the

Rachel's Challenge group in the
Maple Lake High School participated in the We Are Silent campaign as part of the We Act.
Rachel's Challenge first heard
about this day in November at
We Day and were excited to take
the challenge. Students chose to
be silent throughout the whole
school day for different causes,
ranging from sexual abuse, domestic assault, or the 31 million
girls that don't get an opportunity to get an education, to many
others. The point of the activity
is to be silent in support of those
that don't get a voice on a daily
basis. Learn more about We Are
Silent

Amy Kosloski assigned her

5th grade students to write about
what they enjoy doing on rainy
days.
Emma Jost - When its rainy
outside I like to stay inside and
read Harry Potter books. Im almost half finished with the last
book of the series and want to
finish it so I can read them all
again. When its raining out I
also like going to the movie theater or watching movies at home.
To me watching movies with the
rain splashing against the windows is relaxing. Drawing is
pretty fun too. My favorite thing
to draw is owls. Some of my
owls turn out frightening, but
most of them turn out fine. I also
like writing fantasy and fiction
stories. Although I never seem to
finish them I do have several of
them going. I dont always have
enough time in the day to do all
of these things. I sometimes end
up reading over an hour, Harry
Potter movies are pretty long,
and with loving to draw and
writing being fun for me even if
it rains my days are never boring.
Noah Wetch - When its raining I like to go fishing because
there are rumors that the fish bite
better. I think that is true too because I have caught more on
rainy days. I also like finding
worms when it rains, or getting
my brother real muddy.
Cadence Pipenhagen When its raining outside I go
outside and jump on our trampoline with my sister, Alexis. When
we play on the trampoline we
play a game called 1,2,3 What
you do is you jump on the 1 and
on the 2 and on the 3 you go as
high as you can and jump on
your back. All of the rain splatters everywhere. We also like
sliding. You have to jump super
high and then you land, but not
on your feet. When you land you
have to slide and land on your
back. My sister and I have very
much fun playing in the rain.
Bradan Heald - When its
rainy out I like to go to our beach
and go fishing because the fish
bite the most when it rains. I also
like to go for a walk when its not
cold out because the rain cools
me down. Sometimes I go for a
bike ride or play video games.
Alison Zander - When its
raining I stay indoors and read. If
its warm I like to sit on the
porch and talk with my cousin
Kelsey. If I dont feel like doing
these things I like jumping on my
trampoline. On my trampoline I
play Mummy with my brother.
Whoever is IT normally is the
one who falls the most times.
Abby Stoesz - There are
often two things I will do when

it rains out. First I will go play
some games. Next I will put on a
sweatshirt if it is cold and then
run outside and play in the rain
and jump in puddles. If it starts
thundering or raining too hard I
would go inside, lay on my bed
and take a nap, play on my
phone, or watch movie.
Tyler Charles Woolridge When its raining I like to read. I
also like jumping in puddles,
going swimming in the pond,
playing basketball and baseball,
and sliding down a slide. I like to
sleep too. Its also a good time to
play 4 squares and volley ball
and on the computer.
Bryan Elsenpeter - Usually
my parents tell me to come in if
its raining out. Otherwise I like
playing in the rain. My sister and
I used to put on our rollerblades
and grab an umbrella and go
rollerblading outside. Sometimes
I read, watch TV, or play on my
phone.
Kayla Winkelman - I like to
stay inside when it rains and
watch my favorite TV show with
a cup of hot coco. Or maybe
clean or hang out with my
friends. I also like to go outside
when its raining and have the
cool water hit my face. Going
fishing is really fun too. Its also
fun to draw the rain falling
down. Or just watch the rain
falling down.
Kendra Jude - When its
raining out I like staying inside
and watching movies while listening to the rain. I also like running outside with Kelsi. When
were outside we like playing
outside with the dog because she
doesnt mind being out in the
rain. We always like throwing
softballs for the dog to fetch. Our
favorite thing to do is to jump on
the trampoline. Kelsi and I like
falling on the trampoline and getting wet.
Sawyer Jurgens - When its
raining outside I like to watch a
movie with my family, read a
book, or use my phone. When I
play outside and its raining I
usually play basketball and just
watch the rain.

praisers jobs like that. This is

our day to give them a look at
the jobs available in the public
sector.
While the hope is that the
students will find a potential career in government, there is a
sense of gratification for the
county employees, who see the
next generation of employees
getting exposed to the opportunities available in government
employment.
There are a lot of positives
for the students, but there are a
lot of benefits for us as well,
Pawelk said. These kids repre-
sent the future. This is an opportunity to see what county

government has to offer them
and were proud of what we do
here.
In other items on the April
21 agenda, the board:
* Accepted three quotes for
services to be provided as bond
advisors for the county. The
bids were from the firms of
Springsted, Ehlers and Northern Securities for a dual-purpose bond issue. One bid will
be for a new bonding issue for
the ongoing construction of the
Public Works Center/sheriffs
does not enhance the image of

Maple Lake. It really degrades
it tremendously.
Council members suggested
Haack have his vendors move
the tables indoors and out as
they are used, but Haack replied
that given the average age of his
vendors, that solution was unrealistic. After some further discussion, council members
concurred on a three-part directive with a promise of repercussions if not adhered to that
the tables be removed from the
outside area at the time of the
flea markets closing on Sunday, April 26, that items stored
on the front steps be removed
by May 5, and that the museums backyard area be
screened from view by May 31.
In other business, the council:

Conducted a public improvement hearing and ordered
plans and specifications for the
2015 Sewer Repairs Project.
The project will include some
sewer segments that were not
able to be lined as part of the
citys 2013 sewer lining project.
The project area is located on
Sunset Street between Rose and
Elm Avenues and in the backyard area at 26, 30, 40 and 44
Elm Ave. S. The sewer segments in these areas consist of
six-inch diameter clay pipes
that have seriously degraded
and will be replaced with eightinch diameter PVC pipe
through open trench construction. The project also includes
May 7th at 7:00pm for our

School Information Night.
We will be sharing the exciting news about our school's addition project as well as
information about how the additional classroom spaces will
benefit our students from Preschool through 8th Grade. Our
classroom teachers will be giving an overview of curriculum
and we will provide an update
on our new Saxon Math program. Our Middle School teachers will also be on hand to
discuss our Middle School Program, including our Enrichment
Classes. See you on May 7th!

impound lot project. The other

is to refinance the 2007 bonds
for the Law Enforcement Center, where a better repayment
rate can currently be achieved.
Northern Securities submitted
the low total bid of $48,575.
The three bids were accepted
and referred to the next committee of the whole meeting,
scheduled for 10:30 a.m. following the May 12 board meeting.
* Approved a service contract with the City of South
Haven for planning and zoning
services. The contract was used
with the same boilerplate used

between the county and
Corinna Township. South
Haven had its own city building
inspector, but it was determined
that, at the present time, it was
more cost-effective to contract
with the county much like
most Wright County cities contract with the sheriffs department for law enforcement
services.
* Was introduced to Sunny
Hesse, the countys new human
resources director. Hesse was
most recently the assistant
human relations director for the
Great River Regional Library.

* Authorized payment of
$3,182 to the law firm of Madden, Galanteer & Hansen for
union negotiation services conducted in the month of March.
* Accepted the minutes of
the committee of the whole
from its April 14 meeting. The
topic of discussion was a plan
by the City of Buffalo.
* Approved a pair of season
on-sale/off-sale liquor licenses
one for Olsons Campground
in Silver Creek Township and
one for Lanttos Store in French
Lake Township.
replacement of a two-inch diameter water main with a fourinch main. The total estimated
project cost is $166,100.
Though the majority of the
project costs will be covered
through the citys sewer and
water funds, and the sanitary
sewer portion of the project will
be eligible for participation in
the current Public Facilities Authority loan program, assessments associated with the
improvements will be necessary
to cover a portion of those
costs. Proposed assessment
rates are as follows: $1,414.80
per parcel for lateral sanitary
sewer repairs, $1,445.94 per
parcel for lateral water main replacement, $890 each for individual sanitary sewer service
replacement, and $1,175 each

for individual water service replacement. A construction
change order (as the work falls
under the umbrella of the citys
Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Project) is expected to be
approved May 19, with construction to begin in June. Substantial completion is expected
by August, with an assessment
hearing to be held in the fall.
Approved a consent agenda
that included approval of exempt permits gambling premises for the Church of St.
Timothy for its Fall Festival on
September 27, donations of
$900 from the Maple Lake
Lions for the Maple Lake Ambassadors, $2,500 from the
Chamber of Commerce for
Christmas lights, and the following sponsors of the 125th

anniversary celebration: at the
Diamond level ($1,000 and
above), the Maple Lake Lions,
Maple Lake Legion Post 131,
and the Maple Lake Messenger;
at the Emerald level ($500 and
above), Star Bank; at the Sapphire level ($250 and above),
Oak Realty; and at the Ruby
level ($100 and above), Insurance Center of Buffalo, C & W
Spinning, Hegle Doors, Country Inn of Buffalo, Maple Lake
Lumber, Todd Borell, Blizils
Repair and the Maple Lake Veterinary Clinic.
Authorized preparation of
plans and specifications for the
proposed 2016 Airport Hangar
Area Project, which includes
repairing the taxiways in the
hangar areas. The Minnesota
Department of Transportation
has notified the city that the
project is grant eligible, and appears to be willing to fund 90
percent of the project, whose
estimated cost is $85,700. Work
is expected to begin in July and
to be completed in September.
Agreed to a reimbursement
of $5,762.92 from the Minnesota Department of Commerces Petrofund for removal
of an old petroleum tank at the
airport.
Approved a conditional use
permit for St. Timothys
Catholic School to build an addition onto the current school.
The proposed addition is approximately 5,000 square feet
and includes four additional
classrooms, for a total of 11.
Adopted a resolution in
support of the need for city
transportation funding and asking the legislature to act. A
coalition of Greater Minnesota
cities has been meeting with
legislators to ensure that cities
of all sizes receive funding outside of the municipal state aid
street system formula.
Approved road closures for
portions of Division Street and
Birch Avenue for the citys
125th anniversary celebration
Brewfest and street dance, and
adopted a resolution granting a
one-day liquor license for the
Brewfest, contingent upon
meeting all state requirements.

There are an entirely different level of jobs that kids dont
even think about, Pawelk said.
There arent a lot of high
school kids who say, I want to
be a property appraiser. Many
of them dont even know what
that is. Every department in the
county either has handout information or speaks to them about
what it takes to do a job in their
department. Most people think
of county government in terms
of being a cop or maybe a
county commissioner, but they
dont always know that we have

I, along with a lot of other
people, have a real problem
with those tables that are out
there, Rivers said. And I want
to be nice with my wording
when I talk about it, but they
look like junk they really do.
The best place for those would
be a fire, to get rid of them.
Painting isnt going to do anything for them. Theyre just really garbage, and I want to
make that clear. And its not
only my opinion, its a lot of
other peoples opinion, too. And
I, along with other people, will
really be upset if hes allowed
to keep those tables out.

Mom always used to make
costumes for herself and Dad
and their friends. Theyd go up
to the Legion Club for the Halloween parties, said Zitas son,
Paul Manuel. It got so people
were always asking to borrow
the costumes. Pretty soon it became a rental business. I think at
the height there were around 500
costumes. The funny thing is,

over the 30 or so years that they
ran the costume business they
never raised the prices, from the
early 80s to when they closed,
the prices stayed the same.

Buffalo Hospital patients receive

"Chemo Comfort Kits"
Patients and staff at the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute
Buffalo Hospital were surprised
when a family dropped off 25
"Chemo Comfort Kits" to give
away to new chemotherapy patients. Kits, made for both male
and female patients, were filled
with items such as homemade
hats, socks, lotions, mints, books
and craft kits, all assembled in a
Thirty-One bag.
Ann Truenow, a local ThirtyOne consultant, said it only took
two days for her local clients to
respond and the support was
overwhelming. "Each person
had their own story of how cancer had touched their lives," she
said, "Many of my clients were
more than willing to sponsor a
bag and each bag includes a note
Order
KEGS
Early!
to let patients know who the

sponsor was and if the bag was
in memory or honor of someone."
For Truenow and her family,
cancer had hit close to home.
"My mother was diagnosed with
breast cancer almost nine years
ago. She had her treatment at
Buffalo Hospital and she loved it
there," said Truenow. "We
wanted to give back to the same
place that cared for her and made
my mother feel right at home."
"Our patients have been
overwhelmed when we give
them their Chemo Comfort Kit,"
said Linda Sainsbury, registered
nurse at Virginia Piper Cancer
Institute Buffalo Hospital.
"Many were so thankful that an
anonymous person would be this
BUILT FOR FISHERMEN BY FISHERMEN!
thoughtful to put together bags

like these for a complete
stranger."
"We knew we could make an
impact by donating these kits,"
Truenow shares. She got the idea
from other Thirty-One consultants, where a percentage of the
bag sales go to the Ronald McDonald House.
Staff members at the Virginia
Piper Cancer Institute Buffalo
Hospital are truly thankful. "The
community helped build our program," said Lorie Stemig, patient
care manager of the Virginia
Piper Cancer Institute Buffalo
Hospital, "and these wonderful
bags are another example of the
generosity and caring for our
cancer patients from members of
the community."

Maple Lake Lakers season starts Friday

The Lakers start their road to a
championship at home this Friday, May 1st, at 8:00 p.m. against
the defending Region 6 C champion St. Peter Saints. Note the
start time has changed from the
original schedule. The action continues in Maple Lake on Sunday
as the Lakers host the Class B
St. Francis Saints starting at 2

p.m.
Maple Lake underwent a few
changes during the off-season.
Chad Raiche stepped down as
manager to focus on crushing
balls over the left-field fence.
Robert Bobby Fobbe came
back from Laker retirement to
take the helm and steer the Laker

ship to the ship. 2015 also marks
the return of Albert Carl Marsnik

Irish baseball wins two, loses one at home

By Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake Irish baseball team outplayed Howard

Lake-Waverly-Winsted defensively despite facing one of the
toughest pitchers the Irish have
seen all year, Wednesday, April
22, at home.
He (the Lakers pitcher)
struck out 15 in his first start
against Kimball so we knew it
was going to be tough getting
runs across. He got us 11 times
and did a very nice job locating
his speed for strikes, coach
Brooks Marquardt said.
In the end, the Irish made
more plays defensively than their
opponent, which carried them to
a 4-3 victory over the Central
Minnesota Conference foe.
Hunter Malachek did his own
damage on the mound for the
home team. He racked up four
strikeouts and allowed no earned
runs on four hits and one walk
over five innings.
Malachek also did well at the
plate, leading the Maple Lake
line-up by going 2-for-3 and
scoring two runs. He doubled in
the second inning and singled in
the fifth.
The two teams traded runs
through most of the game. The
lead changed hands five times.
Maple Lake took the lead for
good in the sixth when a passed
ball scored Malachek.
Greg Giebenhain took the win
for the Irish. He allowed one run
over two innings, struck out
none, walked none and surrendered three hits.
On Thursday, April 23, the
Irish hosted Pierz in a doubleheader. Pierz, a very solid conference opponent, according to
Marquardt, defeated the home
team 8-4 the first game, then fell
7-4 in game two to the Irish.

three times in that first game,
scoring one run and earning an
RBI. He tripled in the third in-

day, April 23, at home.
ning and singled in the fifth inning.
Nick Preisinger took the loss
for Maple Lake. He allowed
eight runs in seven innings,
walked two and struck out five.
The Irish never surrendered
the lead after the second inning
of that second game, scoring six
runs on a two-run double by Redemske, an error, a ground-out
by Tony Goelz, an RBI single by
Malachek and an RBI triple by
Dustin Strub.
Malachek went 3-for-4 for the
Irish, drove in one and scored
one run.
Pitching for Maple Lake was
Goelz. He allowed four runs,
struck out three, walked two and
gave up eight hits.
In game one we struggled
defensively as we committed five
errors, but it was nice to see this
team battle some adversity and
win the second game of the double-header, Marquardt said.
The Irish will be busy again
this week. They were scheduled
to play Rockford on Monday,
April 27, a team that is currently
3-2 in the conference and 3-5
overall.
The Irish beat the Rockets
earlier in the season, but Marquardt expects them to be a larger
challenge this time around.
On Thursday, April 30, Maple
Lake will take its first road trip of
the season when they head to
Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa. B-B-E
is currently 2-3 in the CMC and
2-4 overall.

Irish golfers continue to do well

The Maple Lake boys golf
team extended their lead as the
top team in Central Minnesota
Conference standings by pulling
off their second team win of the
season, Tuesday, April 21, at
ShadowBrooke.
Aidan Jude led the Irish to a
one-stroke victory over runnerup in the conference Osakis,
with his 39 despite cold, 36-degree weather, 30 mph winds and
snow.
Aidan had an outstanding
round and came back strong
after a double bogey on his first
hole to shoot a 39. Very impressive round again considering
what we were playing in, coach
Aaron Hegle said.
In fact, all the golfers shot
well despite the volatile spring
weather, Hegle said.
Brandon Borell was the second golfer for the Irish Tuesday
night. He shot a 45.
After the two first meets of
the season, Borell and Jude have
secured the top two spots in conference rankings. Jude is in the

number-one spot with an average of 40.5 for the season and
Borell is in second with an average of 41.
Also contributing for the
Irish were Peyton Beehler who
shot a 50 and Cody Welch who
shot a 46 to complete Maple
Lakes winning score of 180.
Jeremy Mills shot a 51 for the
night and Jordan Mills shot a 52.
The boys struck the ball
well, but we had a hard time
judging the wind. I was very
proud of the guys for sticking it
out and doing the best they
could in those elements, Hegle
said.
Osakis, the conferences
other top contender, shot a 181
for the day.
Up next for the Irish is Rockford on Thursday, April 30. Teeoff is at 4:15 p.m. Then, on
Monday, May 4, the golfers
travel to Annandales Southbrook Golf Course for an invitational. Tee-off is at 12 p.m.

The Maple Lake softball team

is 5-0 after five games last week.
The Irish kicked off its winning streak with a 5-3 triumph
over Browerville-Eagle Valley
on Monday, April 20, in non-conference action, but it didnt come
easily.
The two teams butted heads
with no real progress until the
seventh and final inning when
the first points were finally added
to the scoreboard.
Amber Klug was 3-for-4 at
the plate and Irish pitcher
Kennedy Haney struck out 10
and allowed only two hits in the
Irish win.
Browerville is a very good
class 1A school that has made it
to the state playoffs in the last
three years, coach Tim Knudsen
said. Defensively we played
very well, he added.
The Irish got off to an aggressive start against Central Minnesota Conference and section
rival Howard Lake-WaverlyWinsted on Wednesday, April 22,
putting up three runs in the first
inning, two in the second, five in
the fourth and another four in the
fifth. The Lakers hit in four runners in the third, but that was as
close as they got. The game
ended 14-4 in Maple Lakes
favor.
Haney gave up only one
earned run.
Irish traveled to Pierz for a doubleheader. The Irish dominated
the struggling Pioneers, overwhelming them 26-0 in the first
game and 18-1 in the second.
Both games lasted only five innings.
The Irish had 21 hits and
scored 26 runs in the first game
and 15 hits and 18 runs in the
second game with five home
runs in both games: Linsey
Rachel hit a three-run home run;
Emily Webb hit two bombs,
Morgan Scheiber hit a grand

slam and Chloe Callahan hit a
three-run shot.
When you have 36 hits and
score 44 runs in 10 innings and
only allow one run, you know it
was a very good performance,
Knudsen said.
Haney allowed just four hits
and no runs.
Olivia Marquette picked up
the win in game two allowing
one run on three hits.
The Irish capped off the week
on Saturday, April 25, in St.
Cloud against St. Cloud Cathedral.
Marquette picked up her second win of the season against
Cathedral, allowing only one run
on four hits on Maple Lakes way
to a 10-1 win over the non-conference foe.
Amber Klug was 3-for-5 and
Summer Knudsen was 2-for-3 to
lead the Irish in hitting.
Our pitching and defense
was superb, Knudsen said,
however, we left 14 runners on
base. That needs to be cleaned
up.
The Irish kick off this week
with a tough match-up against
Rockford, a team that could be a
rival for the conference title. The
two teams were to meet on Monday, April 27, at Rockford.
On Wednesday, April 29, the
Irish travel to Litchfield for a
3:30 game; on Saturday, May 2,
they go the Alexandria Softball
Invitational to face Little Falls
and Alexandria at 11 a.m. and 1
p.m., and on Monday, May 4,
they will go to Kimball for a 4:30
game.

The Catch
by Jeff Plattner
Title Talk
On Sunday, the Minnesota
Wild advanced to the second
round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, with a 4-2 series win over
the St. Louis Blues. The best
team in the second half of the
season, the Wild have thousands
of optimistic fans, hoping that
that momentum will carry the
team deep into the playoffs and
ultimately to their first Stanley
Cup title in franchise history.
This mere possibility got me
thinking about something Ive
thought of often, but never taken
the time to truly look into. As
lifelong Minnesota sports fans,
we are terribly starved for a
championship (sorry Lynx, but
were only talking the four major
professional sports here). Are
there cities/states worse off than
Minnesota, whose last championship was a 1991, Twins World
Series? Conversely, what city is
the true Titletown, USA?
To answer these burning
questions, I first set one very important parameter. My research
would go back to 1967 and no
earlier. Why 1967? For several
reasons; Super Bowl I was
played in 1967. This was also the
year that the NBA began expanding, going from nine teams
in 1967 to seventeen by the 1971
season. Coincidently enough,
1967 was also the last NHL season that featured The Original
Six. In 1968, the league expanded to twelve teams and featured eighteen teams by 1975. In
1968, Major League Baseball
added four teams, as well. So,
while the Boston Celtics and
their seventeen championships
are very impressive, most of that
damage came when the NBA
had just nine teams, dramatically
increasing Bostons likelihood of
winning a championship. So,
since 1967, what has the professional sports landscape looked

Irish softball 5-0 last week
like?
The three U.S. cities that led
the championship charge, with a
combined fifty-six titles, should
come as no surprise. Those cities
are: New York (20), Boston (18,
includes the New England Patriots), and Los Angeles (15). Fifteen other U.S. cities have
captured titles in multiple sports.
They are: Pittsburgh (11),
Chicago (10), Detroit (9), San
Francisco and Oakland (8),
Miami and Dallas (7), Philadelphia (6), St. Louis (5), Baltimore, Denver, and Washington
(4), and Kansas City, Tampa
Bay, and Anaheim (2). Additionally, the state of Wisconsin (5)
boasts four Green Bay Packers
Super Bowls and one Milwaukee Bucks NBA title. So while
New York, Boston, and Los Angeles have dominated for nearly
the last fifty years, who ruled
each decade? The Pittsburgh
Steelers and their famed Steel
Curtain owned the NFL in the
late 1970s. Meanwhile, the Pirates won two World Series, totaling six championships for the
city of Pittsburgh. The 1980s
were Showtime in Los Angeles, as Magic Johnson and the
Lakers took home five NBA titles in the decade, while the
Dodgers added two World Series
titles. With the most championships by any single team in
any decade, Michael Jordan and
the Chicago Bulls were virtually
unbeatable in the 1990s, winning
six titles. Had Jordan not left the
game to pursue a career in baseball, after the 1993 season, they
may very well have won eight
consecutive titles. In 2001, the
New England Patriots captured
the city of Bostons first title
since Larry Birds Celtics in
1986. The Patriots would add
two more, the Red Sox would
win their first World Series in
nearly ninety years and add an-
other three years later, and the

Celtics also ended a lengthy
drought of twenty-plus years.
With six titles for the decade,
Boston owned the 2000s. And,
halfway through the 2010s,
Boston, Los Angeles, and San
Francisco are knotted with three
titles apiece.
When fans think of the
longest droughts in sports, the
Chicago Cubs are first to come
to mind. The Cubs last won the
World Series in 1908. In the
NBA, the Sacramento Kings
have never won the championship and havent been to the
finals since 1951. In their storied
history, the Toronto Maple Leafs
have hoisted the Stanley Cup
trophy thirteen times. However,
their last time doing so was in
1967. But, when thinking of
droughts for an entire city, who
comes to mind? The San Diego
Chargers (1994) and Padres
(1984, 1998) have never won it
all. More famously, the Buffalo
Bills lost four straight Super
Bowls from 1990 to 1993. And
the Buffalo Sabres (1975, 1999)
have twice come up short in the
Stanley Cup finals. But, while
we all may think our twenty-four
years here in Minnesota without
a title, is painful, lets not forget
about the poor city of Cleveland.
Now, theres a very good chance
LeBron James and the Cavaliers
put an end to this drought soon,
but for the time being, 1948 is
the year. Yes, sixty-seven years
ago was the last time the city of
Cleveland celebrated a championship. Since then, the Cavaliers
have made one trip to the NBA
Finals (2007) and lost, the Indians have lost in three straight
trips to the World Series (1954,
1995, 1997), and the Cleveland
Browns, although very successful prior to the Super Bowl era,
have never even been to a Super
Bowl. Thanks, John Elway!
Cleveland, good luck on ending
your streak, but as for us, Minnesota fans, I dont know about
you, but my heart is incapable of
waiting until 2058 for our streak
to end, so LETS GO WILD!
You are currently our only hope.

Irish track takes top honors at home, twice

By Brenda Erdahl
Sports Writer
The Maple Lake track and

field team won two home meets
last week and sent four athletes
to the prestigious Hamline Elite
Meet for the first time.
Cold weather on Monday,
April 20, made it tough to get
good times, coach Ben Youngs
said, but the Irish managed to defend its title at the annual Maple
Lake Lions Invitational, outperforming the seven other teams in
attendance.
The home teams depth really
showed, especially on the boys
side where the boys won all four
of their relays.
On the girls side, Jordan Sifferle was named meet MVP by
winning three events (100-meter
hurdles, pole vault, triple jump)
and taking second in her fourth
event (long jump). Both Sifferle
and Scott Jordan were named
CMC Athlete of the Week because of their strong performances.
It was nice to get a chance to
run at home this week, Youngs
said.
Irish hosted the Lions Co-ed

Relay Meet, which the home
team also won. Seven other
teams performed at Thursdays
meet as well.
Thursday was much better
weather-wise with winds low and
temperatures high.
The all-relay meet was canceled last year, so it was fun to
get it in this year, especially with
such nice weather. There were
many excellent performances,
and we won the meet despite
holding a few kids out of events,
Youngs said.
The girls triple jump team of
Sifferle, Brynn Paumen, and
Mackenna Brown set a meet
record, while both the freshmen
4x100 teams: girls (Emily Rasset, Brynn Paumen, Mackenna
Brown, Caitlin Weege) and boys
(Henry Stecker, Jason Webb,
Quinn Youngs, Ben Smail) won
in races where runners had to be
in ninth grade or younger.
On Friday, April 24, the
Maple Lake boys 4x800 relay
team of Jordan, Andrew Schonnesen, Devin Deringer, and Ryan
Kalinowski, along with Schonnesen in high jump, competed at

Week of May 1 - May 7
the Hamline Elite Meet. In its

10th year, the Elite Meet works
like this: any coach in the state
may submit a performance to try
to get an athlete into the meet.
They then take the top performances and those athletes qualify.
What is unique is that it is
class A and AA combined, so it's
very hard for a class A relay team
to get in, Youngs said.
For the 4x800, 12 teams qualified and only two were class A,
including Maple Lake.
Maple Lake finished a respectable sixth place behind
Hopkins, Waseca, Wayzata, St.
Michael-Albertville,
and
Mounds View, coming in ahead
of six other teams, including Buffalo, Elk River, Moorhead, and
Bemidji. Schonnesen was one of
12 high jumpers, and he took
fourth by making 6-foot, 1-inch
and 6-foot, 3-inch jumps with no
misses.
It was a huge honor to be a
part of this meet for the first time
in the program's history, Youngs
said.
Ahead this week are the last
two practice meets before the
big meets start, Youngs said.
By big meets he means the
True Team Section 4A Meet that
Maple Lake hosts on Tuesday,
May 5th, where 20 teams compete for the right to participate at
the True Team State Meet.
But first, on Tuesday, April
28, the Irish will travel to Rockford, then on Friday, May 1, they
go to St. Johns Prep. Both meets
begin at 4 p.m.

team will be rebuilding this
year, like many other teams in
the Central Minnesota Conference that are struggling to find
players, but that doesnt mean
they wont be competitive.
Six golfers make up the Irish
varsity and junior varsity squads
this season, and they will play
under the direction of coach
Bruce Bakeberg who is new to
the program.
By the end of the season I
really think well be capable of
taking third or fourth place in
conference meets, Bakeberg
said.
The girls kicked off the season on Tuesday, April 14, at
Whispering Pines Golf Course.
With only three varsity players

competing, they didnt make a
complete team, but their performances were promising,
Bakeburg said.
Dienna Jude, a senior, and
most experienced of the bunch
(she has been in golf since the
seventh grade), shot a 47 on the
Annandale course. Her teammates, sophomores Ashley
Marty and Katelyn Webb, shot a
57 and 55, respectively. Those
three make up the teams only
returning letter winners from
last year.
The following week, on
Thursday, April 23, the Irish
traveled to Shamrock Golf
Course in Rockford with only
two players. Marty shot one of
her better rounds, a 55, that afternoon, Bakeberg said, while

Jude shot a 52.

Again they did not qualify
for a team score since schools
must have at least four players
at an event to be considered a
team.
That will all change, however, on Thursday, April 30,
when eighth grader Andrea Peterson steps up to fill that fourth
position for the Irishs third
meet of the season, another
CMC competition, this time at
Pierz.
Were really looking forward to getting a full team ready
to go to Pierz, Bakeberg said.
With those four girls, we think
we can come in third or fourth
at Pierz.
Sitting in reserve for the varsity squad is freshman Clara
Greenhagen, and first time com-
petitive golfer, sophomore

Emma Jude.
All six will travel to varsity
meets, but Greenhagen and
Emma Jude will play mostly
junior varsity for now, just to get
some experience under their
belts, Bakeberg said. But anything can happen, and by the
end of the season, the Irish
could be sending five players to
compete at the varsity level.
According to Bakeberg,
dwindling numbers has plagued
several girls golf programs in
the conference. Rockford competed last week with only two
girls, Eden Valley-Watkins just
qualified as a team with four
and Pierz had five.

The two strongest teams in

the CMC are Belgrade-BrootenElrosa and Osakis. Currently,
Osakis has a one-stroke lead
over B-B-E in conference standings. Both have much more
depth than many of the other
teams in the conference.
After those two top teams,
we can compete with all the others, Bakeberg predicted. The
other teams have some girls
shooting low (Osakis top golfer
shot a 39 Thursday and an EVW girl shot a 40, but Dienna can
get in the low 40s, too, if her
game is on.

Central MN Conference
Distinguished Service Award
House Fire
continued from page
The high wind gusts helped
the fire spread and hindered the
firefighters who were racing to
contain the blaze.
Once it breached the house,
the way the wind was blowing it
just blew right through, said
Borell. You can look at the outside and see which way the fire
spread.
When things were under control, efforts shifted to salvaging
personal belongings from what
remained of the house.
Thank God for the help of
the firemen, said Shane. There
were still hoses everywhere
when Bart Lauer helped me get
through a pile of stuff about five
feet high to find my wifes wedding ring and Mothers ring. I
also grabbed Gabes fish, (a 22pound mounted walleye); hed
just gotten it for his birthday.
While many of the furnishings, clothes, papers and pictures
were lost to the flames, others
were salvageable with the help of
the firemen.
After the fire was out, we
assisted Shane in removing the
wildlife mounts, said Borell.
We were about to start the mopup, spraying a coat of foam over

everything, and theyd have been
ruined.
When youre out there,
theres steam coming off everything and youre trying to differentiate between steam and
smoke. The way the wind was
blowing, I really thought wed
get called back for a re-kindle,
but I went home and took a
shower and went back out there
about 6:30 (a.m.) and then again
about noon and nothing, it all
looked good.
While the biggest comfort is
knowing that four kids, two
adults, one dog and four cats are
all safe and sound, the hard work
of rebuilding lives and a home
are just beginning.
Already family members,
friends, church and classmates
are rallying behind the Jurgens to
help them get back on their feet.
Karina and the kids are staying
with Shanes sister in Maple
Lake, similar-sized cousins are
offering clothes and shoes, St.
Tims SAM Quilters dropped off
a quilt for each child, church
friends are offering aid in many

forms and classmates at Maple
Lake Elementary and High
School had a Hat Day last Friday as a fundraiser for the family.
It was a joint effort between
the two schools (Maple Lake Elementary and Maple Lake High
School), said elementary staffer,
Vicki Rasset. We offered to let
the kids wear a hat to school for
a one dollar donation. We just
sent the notice home in the
Wednesday envelopes and the
response was amazing, Our
schools community really came
together. We pooled the money
and gave it to them to help tide
them over.
I feel so blessed, we ARE so
blessed, for our friends and family, for our whole community,
said Karina. Weve had so
many people ask if they could
help, ask us what we needed our church friends at Holy Cross,
the kids classmates and teachers,
everyone.
The firemen were great, just
great. Todd (Borell) really got
things going and kept them or-

ganized. He made sure everyone

knew where they should be and
what they should be doing, said
Shane. It could have been so
much worse than it was. Another
big thanks to our insurance guy,
Ryan Zylstra. I texted him at
quarter to five that morning, he
was on the phone to me within
10 minutes and at the house by
eight. Everybodys been right
there when we needed them.
What more can you ask for?
Shane, who is staying in a RV
at the site, can be reached
through the SJ Roofing number
at 320-274-7663.
