The Maple Lake

Volume 119, Number 5 Wednesday, October 30, 2013 Maple Lake, MN 55358 maplelakemessenger.com
The posted speed is the speed limit and troopers, deputies and city officers are emphasizing the need to drive at safe speeds through accelerated speed patrols, November 4 - 8. This enforcement and education effort is coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety. Unsafe and illegal speed is the most commonly reported contributing factor in fatal crashes. During 20102012, speed was a contributing factor in at least 243 traffic deaths statewide, resulting in an economic impact of at least $333 million. In Minnesota, an average speeding citation for 10 mph over the limit is $130. Motorists stopped at 20 mph over the speed limit face double the fine and those ticketed traveling more than 100 mph can lose their license for six months. As drivers, we cant put our schedules ahead of other motorists safety, says State Patrol Sgt. Curt Mowers. Running late or being in a hurry are not excuses to speed and put other drivers at risk traveling at unsafe speeds only speeds up your chances of crashing violently. Motorists are reminded to be patient behind the wheel and follow the posted speed as it reflects the safe speed for a roads design. The State Patrol reports that a motorist traveling at 65 mph compared to 55 mph will save only one minute and 41 seconds on a 10 mile trip. Also, more than twice as many speed-related fatal crashes occur on rural roads than major urban roads. Motorists should keep a threesecond following distance to allow for safe stopping and reaction to other vehicles. continued on page 3

County approves switching jail medical contract

Over the years, few costs associated with running county government have been more annoying to the Wright County Board of Commissioners than its responsibility to cover jail medical expenses for prisoners at the Wright County Jail. A single prisoner is capable of racking up tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. At the Oct. 22 meeting of the county board, the commissioners approved a proposal to switch the countys jail medical contract, which has a starting base cost of more than $200,000 a year. Jail Administrator Pat OMalley brought the proposal, which would switch the countys jail medical contract from Allina to the Waite Park-based firm MEnD, to the board. OMalley said the contract would, in the end, save the county thousands of dollars a year. Allina decided not to continue its contract with the county earlier this year, OMalley said. As a result, we had to go looking for a new vendor for the contract. We believe the benefit we will get from MEnD will be favorable to the county and provide a strong level of service for less money. Under the current contract, Wright County paid a base contract of $240,457 for 2013 an increase of 17 percent from the original contract signed in 2011. Under the new contract, the 2014 base cost will be $217,600 with a scheduled 2 percent increase in each of the final two years of the contract, which OMalley said would provide the county with more budgeting stability than it had under the previous agreement. With the Allina contract, we knew there would be annual increases, but we wouldnt find out until January just how much that would be, OMalley said. continued on page 3

Inside . . .

by Gabe Licht Editor Maple Lake has been getting a lot of interest from the film industry lately. First, "After the Dawn" was filmed in the town in 2012. Then, city officials created the Shamrock Rebate, to give back 15 percent of local tax revenue on movie-related purchases up to a total of $7,500 per project. Since then, two producers have visited Maple Lake with movie ideas, at the recommendation of the Minnesota Film and Television Board. Now, the MFTB is reaching out to other moviemakers with a trailer featuring Maple Lake. filmmakers Freelance Matthew Berg, Beth Pacunas and Zachary Nelson visited Maple Lake in August to capture footage for the trailer, which can be viewed at http://bit.ly/17THpdy. "It's something we can put up on Facebook or put out on Twitter for people to pass around," Berg said. Maple Lake was already included in MFTB's location database of more than 300 profiles, but the entity wanted to do more to promote the town than just provide general infor-

Platinum Plus building construction underway

Crews work on the future home of Platinum Plus Printing at the corner of Sixth Street and Spruce Avenue in the industrial park on Monday. Ground was broken in late summer and the facility has been taking shape since. On June 18, the Maple Lake City Council approved development and purchase agreements with Richard Johanneck and Platinum Plus Printing for the two parcels of land. The city purchased the lots from Johanneck for about $305,000 and sold them to Platinum Plus Printing for $1. The agreement holds the company to a business subsidy agreement that includes an eventual expansion. The company employs about 100 people. (Photo by Gabe Licht)

mation and photos. "We're looking at making four or five trailers featuring locations we think are worth knowing about for one reason or another," Berg said. "You have your additional city incentive and the fact that you're only an hour away from Minneapolis." Berg, Pacunas and Nelson spent about six hours gathering footage for the trailer, which runs 2 minutes, 28 seconds. Featured locations include downtown, Bolduan Park, Irish

Country Stadium, Maple Lake Bowl, the lake and different neighborhoods. They were impressed with what they found. "What we discovered is Maple Lake is, deceivingly, a small town," Berg said. "The longer we were walking around, the more we were finding hidden, little moments. 'Look, there's a shot. Something could happen there.' That doesn't happen everywhere." The trailer starts with static shots of the train tracks and el-

evator, but also includes action. "We kept thinking it would be great if someone walked by or if a train went by," Berg said. "Right when we needed them, all the Maple Lake extras appeared, so there were key points we knew we wanted." Now Berg, Pacunas and Nelson are sharing what they found out about Maple Lake with other filmmakers throughout the state and beyond. "It's a small town with a lot to discover," Berg concluded.

I noticed I wasnt the only one doing yard work on Sunday even though there still are lots of leaves on the Maple trees. That means Ill probably have to go through the process once more before the snow flies. This apparently was a great year for black walnut trees to bear their fruit and I probably should have been picking them up, but I decided to leave them for the squirrels. That wasnt a difficult choice and probably stems from my youth when we had to pick potatoes and put them in the cellar. We had a mechanical potato digger for the roughly half-acre, but it still seemed like a back-breaking chore. * * * We, Daryl Hennen, Mike Muller and myself, decided on a half-day pheasant hunt last Thursday and headed west toward Morris. We hunted two different walk-in plots, one of which was alongside a Wildlife Management Area. Pheasants have been reported to be down in numbers this year so we decided to hunt in different directions to get a handle if there were any birds in that area. There werent many in the first plot we hunted, but Hennen and Cocoa found two cocks on his jaunt, one of which ended up in his game bag. One hen flushed ahead of Vana out of a dry waterway and I saw two others flying which I suspected Hennen and Muller flushed. Later in the afternoon we hunted another walk-in plot which looked like part of a conservation reserve plot (CRP) with great looking grass bordered on two sides by cornfields. Hennen and I went opposite ways planning to meet at the far end and Muller elected to guard the car. We all saw birds, mostly hens, although Muller saw a rooster flying. Vana

Why is the food shelf van at the liquor store? I thought this headline might catch your attention, since some of you may have seen the Food Shelf van parked at the liquor store. Several months ago a friend sent an e-mail that read something like this. How does one get a job driving the food shelf van? I was curious about his question and then being busy and unorganized I forgot to get back to him. A few weeks later I ran into my friend at the Wright County Swappers meet accompanied by his charming wife. I told him I didnt understand his e-mail and why was he interested in driving the van. He grinned and stated, It must have some perks; I see it every week in front of the liquor store. I thought he was joking with me and said, You know why its parked there dont you? He had no idea. There is a very good reason, I replied; our volunteer picks up empty wine and liquor boxes. These boxes, especially the ones with handles, make excellent food carry-out boxes for our clients. He looked sort of amazed and stated, Great idea. I went on to say, in fact, these boxes are being put to better use than what they were intended for in the first place. I then

had one point near a low spot and I moved ahead of her to flush the bird. I got about 15 feet ahead of her nose without flushing anything when Vana came off her point and blew past me after the running bird. Moments later the rooster flushed out of range and flew back into the cornfield. Hennen and I tried to corral a rooster he saw fly into the CRP on our way back to the car. Both Cocoa and Vana got hot, but the birds apparently kept on the move and were nowhere to be seen. We were impressed that we saw any pheasants, considering the reports we have been reading. Although the roosters seemed few and far between, the hen numbers gave us an indication there will be some egg laying stock available next spring. Theyll need a warm spring to get the pheasant population headed in the right direction. * * * On Saturday Anna, Vana and I decided to head north for another chance at ruffed grouse. It wasnt a banner day with the wind blowing at 10-15 mph which makes it somewhat difficult to hear the grouse until they take off with a thundering beat of the wings. We flushed five grouse and shot at two without harvesting any. We hunted walkin only trails and enjoyed the peace and quiet without being interrupted by ATVs. One thing I learned Saturday was to take a compass reading before starting on a trail. Anyway, Anna and I were walking on this trail which suddenly seemed to disappear so I hauled out the compass. I set the 12 gauge down and was fumbling with the compass, Anna was calling for Vana who apparently was on a bird, but I didnt know it at the time. Totally unprepared, a grouse suddenly busted out of the brush nearly taking our caps off. I didnt have time to react and get a shot off. Later on the way back to the car we should have zigged, but we zagged and we came across a clear-cut area which we hadnt seen before. We eventually came across our forest trail and Vana went on point from the trails edge. She was pointing at an evergreen so I started walking toward the spruce. I didnt have to take very many steps before two grouse flew out from under the tree on the opposite side and I didnt get a shot. Anna said she saw one land so Vana and I made our way through the underbush in that general direction. We didnt get very far before we heard the grouse fly, giving us the slip. We came home empty-handed, maybe next time it will be different, but dont bet on it!

Its in your court: No mulligans in criminal court

The young pastor at the church I attend recently gave a sermon about mulligans, that is, our desire for do-overs when we mess up in life. A mulligan is a doover in golf even though not allowed in the rules and permitted only among friends. When the player makes a very bad shot, the player calls mulligan and is allowed to do-over that shot. When I heard the mulligan sermon it brought a question to mind: are there mulligans in criminal court? Put another way, can the court grant forgiveness to someone who commits a crime, even a minor offense? Can the court wipe the slate clean? As to the trial court, my answers are no. This may sound harsh and unsympathetic, but I answer those questions in the negative based upon my interpretation of equal justice and the law. Judges have no power to dismiss a criminal offense based upon the circumstances of the defendant, whether they say they are sorry and it will never happen again, or whether they are a single parent or had a rough childhood or are in a protected class, such as elderly, a veteran, or a person of color. If someone is convicted of a crime, there must be consequences dictated by the court, though there usually is a broad spectrum of what those consequences may be. Only the Board of Pardons, or the trial court in very limited circumstances by expungement, can erase a persons criminal record. The articles about forgiveness in court generally discuss alternative sentencing, such as probation with chemical dependency treatment and other consequences other than simply incarceration. I agree that alternative sentencing dispositions are often appropriate, particularly for first offenders, but that is a topic for another time. Judges also cannot provide forgiveness (on behalf of society) to a criminal defendant. Forgiveness, in my view, is a matter between individuals. In Hennepin County District Court in March 2012, the 76-year-old victim of a car theft confronted the juvenile offender. The comments by the participants in court included the following: Victim: When we forgive, we dont deny the hurt that we

went on to explain, rather than buying paper bags, we go to area bars and liquor stores getting empty boxes. It is our way of recycling. Large boxes that we receive our shipments in that are not useable are flattened and delivered to The Market Place and put into their compactor for recycling. Our fruit and vegetables that go bad are given to an organic farmer as feed for their animals. Very little goes into our dumpster for the land fill. We want to do our part in recycling. Recently if you have been reading the newspapers you may have read about Minnesota food shelfs doing more to provide healthy food. We are proud to say we started doing this in earnest last year when we moved into our new premises containing a large walkin cooler and freezer. This now allowed us to get abundant supplies of fresh fruit, vegetables, milk, and other dairy products along with beef, pork and chicken rather than just wieners and hamburger. Many clients are unfamiliar with fresh fruit and vegetables because of their expensive prices, so they were hesitant at first to select these bonus items. These items are not affordable to many low income earners, and

yet our country is faced with obesity because healthy foods are costly. Thanks to donations from the Monticello Target Super Store, Second Harvest and the Emergency Food Shelf Network, we can play our part in providing healthy food choices and combating obesity. Our food selection is Client Choice and mothers have the option to select lower sodium and sugar free items. Encouraging our clients to eat healthy is going to take some time but we want to do our part right now. Once a month we have a home economist from the University of Minnesota Extension Office come and demonstrate how to prepare wholesome foods with simple recipes. Regarding donations, I still get asked, which do you prefer, cash or food? We encourage you to make a cash donation. Its easy to carry or mail and the best part is cash goes further. Your $20.00 donation allows us to buy approximately $120.00 of food and better yet, it allows us to buy milk, meat, cheese and other perishable items, which we do not receive in food drives. However, we greatly appreciate the food drives and do not discourage them. Also at this time of year if you have excess apples, tomatoes, potatoes, squashes or pumpkins, we will

cheerfully accept these and provide a tax deduction receipt. We are in the midst of preparing for our Thanksgiving. Last year we received a grant for 85 complete Thanksgiving baskets. This year we were cut back to 50 so we have a lot to make up. Fortunately we can make up a Thanksgiving basket including a turkey to feed eight for about $22.00. We already are gathering components as they become available. In closing I need to tell you about a very dear volunteer who worked for our food shelf for over 22 years. Agnes Aggie Dahlin who was 93 years young worked her last shift on Monday, Oct. 14, and on Thursday our dear Aggie passed on. Most of our 50 volunteers got to get close to Aggie. She worked two shifts a week and always looked forward to coming in. She never complained about not feeling well, in fact, Aggie never complained about anything. She truly inspired us with her wittiness and charm. She was a very special lady to us. Aggie, we know you are looking down on us and bless you for allowing us to be your friend. We will miss you and never forget you. Ed Skomoroh, President Annandale Food Shelf

have received. We dont deny that it was wrong, but we acknowledge there is more to the offender than the offense. She (the victim) talked about being a foster mom for about 50 kids, many of them who had been abused and neglected, and how much she empathized with the young man standing before her in court. I would like [the teen] to know that I pray for him and the other two [boys who were with him] daily, and that it is not too late for them. I would also like these boys to think of their own families. Would they want their families to experience what I have? Again, please let [the boy] know that I sincerely care about him, and I am praying for his redirection and rehabilitation. A good life awaits him, if he will just choose a new path. God bless. The hurt, I never thought of that, said the teen. Im really sorry. I regret this decision. Im sorry for all of the hurt that I caused you. The Judge, known to be stern and no-nonsense, finally spoke from the bench. I think many of us have been doing this work for a very, very long time, and I have never seen such a powerful moment in my career. The [teens] recognition that you had an impact on somebody, that this is not an anonymous hurt, this is a personal hurt. It just so happened that you by chance chose as a victim somebody who can change your life. It was the genuine concern and love for this kid who stole her car that blew us all away. It was a miracle. Minneapolis Star Tribune 317-12. So the next time you are stopped for speeding or some other traffic offense, consider carefully the consequences before you ask the officer for a mulligan.

Ask a Trooper: Red lights behind me where do I go?

by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: What is the proper procedure if you are stopped at a red light and an emergency vehicle with its lights and siren activated comes up behind you? Where do you go to get out of the way? Answer: Good question! As frustrating and tempting as it may be to pull into the intersection with a red light DO NOT DO THAT! Other people can't run a red light based on an emergency vehicle's siren and/or emergency lights, so they have to wait until the light turns green and then go, and then move over to the right if possible. If for some reason you have enough room while stopped you should pull over to the right shoulder or left shoulder (if on multi-lane road way -which is legal), just as long as it doesnt require you to enter the intersection. While responding to emergencies, I have observed drivers trying to squeeze into the intersection in an attempt to create room for the emergency vehicle, but that is not safe or recommended. We will just have to use some patience along with the legal and safe opportunity when the light turns green again. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Trp.

And, those of you in Maple Lake who know really know Reggie know what Im talking about: the man and his character are a fixture in time on this Earth. My first encounter with Reggie the cottage counselor was in Father Flanagans Boys Town, the summer of 1970 when I was 15 years old and a sophomore in High School. I had already been in Boys Town four years and my first impression of Reggie was that he was big dude with a constant smile on his face; one of us you could say. The memory of our first meeting his rising from a chair, shaking my hand, telling me his name and asking mine remain clear and vivid. Reggie was one of us, having come to Boys Town himself from the projects of St. Louis in February 1960. While a young man at Boys Town, Reggie distinguished himself in athletics swimming, track and football sang in the world renown Father Flanagans Boys Town Concert Choir, was a cottage commis-

(He wouldnt miss a Boys Town annual reunion for anything!) Financially, he lives meagerly but gets by as he puts it. (I do, however, find it one of lifes ironies that Reggie had to sell and is without his beloved motorcycle that he so often utilized to support the cause of others) The two of us stay in touch, and though life has been challenging for Reggie, he holds to his faith and cannot resist a good laugh or two with those who know and love him. When I think of Reggie, the man, counselor, friend and character I am easily reminded of the poet Goethe quote: You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.

BBB takes the mystery out of mystery shopping schemes

Mystery shopping schemes continue to plague the marketplace, and new twists on this old scam now victimize both consumers and legitimate businesses. MN BBB advises the public on what they need to watch out for to steer clear of troublesome mystery shopping offers that may look like lifelines, but leave unsuspecting people on the hook. Potential victims are usually introduced to mystery shopping schemes by official-looking mailings, sometimes sent via UPS or Federal Express accompanied by real-looking checks. These checks often appear to be drawn on actual banks and issued by legitimate businesses. However, the checks are bogus and these businesses have no association with these schemes; theyre referenced simply to convince victims the offers, and the checks are the real deal. Consumers should be aware that this is not how mystery shopping companies operate, Anytime a person receives a check with instructions to cash the check, spend money at different locations as part of their assignment, then wire back a portion or the bulk of the funds to the company making the so-called offer, its a scam, said Dana Badgerow, president and CEO of Better Business Bureau of MN. What happens in every case is that youre using your own money to buy goods you likely dont need and wiring good money away to bad people. Though there are firms that contract with people to perform secret shopping services, they do not send out random checks to potential contractors and ask them to

cash them before performing an assignment. Nor do they ever ask individuals to wire money back to them, pay money upfront or promise to make anyone rich. Consumers interested in mystery shopping job opportunities should keep the following in mind: Be suspicious of any checks you receive or offers that involve wiring money back to the company supposedly making this offer. Never wire money to someone you dont know. Dont believe anyone who says you can get rich by being a secret shopper. Always research companies at bbb.org before accepting any position. Also, contact the company directly. Many mystery shopping offers now impersonate legitimate businesses. Make sure youre not being taken for a ride. Dont be fooled if you receive the mystery shopping offer via an established courier such as Fed Ex or UPS. Scammers use stolen credit cards to pay for the shipping. If a check seems questionable, request a bank employee evaluate the check before depositing it in an account.

Runners finish strong, three headed to state

Maple Lake has never had a better day as a cross country program as the Section 5A meet this year, coach Ben Youngs said. Racing in Milaca on Thursday, Oct. 24, the Irish cross country team competed for their chances to attend state and three runners attained that goal. Standing with anxious nerves on the line, the Maple Lake Irish girls awaited the gun to start their important section meet. As the pack went out, Maple Lake stuck within and made their moves. Racing through a winding course, each teammate ran their hardest knowing what was on the line. Out front for the Irish was Sommer Carlson, staying calm but in the race. Approaching the finish, Carlson came in very strong, even with a grin, while crossing the finish line. Carlson placed seventh, securing a spot to state and setting an all-time school record with a time of 15:12. I was super excited crossing the finish line because my goal this year was to make it to state, and to break the school record at the same time was beyond anyby Mollie Graham Sports Writer

Irish volleyball team finishes regular season with win

Coming off an important and exciting win the previous Tuesday where the Irish won the title of Central Minnesota Conference Champions, the team carried their momentum into their Oct. 20 game at home. Maple Lake faced the Zimmerman Thunder and once again came out on top. In the first set, the Irish looked prepared. They came out with strong serves and really performed well at the net. The Thunder had weak passing and had difficulty playing the ball back. Maple Lake continued their strength through game one and

thing I hoped for, Carlson said. Just behind Carlson was Halle Geyen in 10th place with a time of 15:22 also making it to state. I was relieved to know that what I have been training for all year has finally paid off. I was so excited and I am looking forward to the state meet, Geyen said. Third for Maple Lake was Blair Stewig, placing 26th, setting a personal record for herself with a time of 16:25. In 45th was Kaitlynn Kramer, finishing with a time of 17:05. Jessie Wohlrabe set a new record for herself also finishing in 17:17, placing 52nd. Following Wohlrabe was Kayla Hoistad, placing 56th with a time of 17:23 and in 59th was Skyler Manka, finishing in 17:28. Overall the girls placed fourth with a team score of 138. We equaled our placing of fourth last year and many improved by leaps and bounds, Youngs said. With a very strong team, the Maple Lake boys were on the line and ready to race. Jumping after the gun, the guys went out with high hopes and ran to their best abilities, if not harder. Racing through the course, the guys didnt stop until crossing the line. Leading the Irish was Andrew

Schonnesen. He completed the course in 17:27, placing 15th (8th as section individual) and securing a trip to the state meet. Next came Jackson Willard in 22nd, finishing with a time of 17:38. Devin Derringer placed 26th with a time of 17:44. Fourth for the team was Ross Hickey in

(Photo by Jennifer Carlson) 32nd with a time of 17:55. Scott Jordan placed 37th and finished in 18:00 flat. Adam Ruhland finished in 19:01, placing 70th. After being stepped on and running more than half the race with only one shoe, Cullen Gallagher finished in 77th with a time of 19:15. The team took third with an overall score of 132. Last year, the boys were eighth. We lost our top two runners and took third this year, Youngs said. The improvement of this team from last year to this year, and even from the beginning to the end of the year, is the best I've ever coached in any sport.

They work hard, run together and they are motivated. They are an absolute dream team to coach. Each senior on the cross country team held a place that no one will forget. We are basically a family and all of the seniors will be missed, Mollie Graham said. Seniors this year included Sullivan Graham, Evan Hertwig, Keenan Sowa, Adam Jude, Jessie Wohlrabe, Blair Stewig, Lorie Elsenpeter, Rayne Coughlin, Anna Thiele, Leslie Reinhard, Maddie Gagnon and team manager Hailey Sissel. I had mixed feelings after my last race with such great teammates, Stewig said. I was very happy with my career overall but this is not the end, I hope to run in college. Throughout my cross country year, I progressed a lot thanks to my coaches and a great team, Wohlrabe said. I finished my last race with my best time ever and it was an awesome way to end. The three state athletes will work hard next week to try to prepare for the upcoming state meet, which will be held at St. Olaf College in Northfield on Saturday. The girls will run at 1 p.m. and Schonnesen will run at 2 p.m.

beat Zimmerman 25-22. The Irish only improved after game one. In game two the team really came together. With great effort and communication, the Irish played the ball back at full force and made the Thunder fight for every point they earned. Maple Lake had an aggressive game two, Zimmerman failed to earn enough points and the Irish won 25-12. Down two games already, the Thunder knew they would have to pass much more accurately and be more prepared for the tough ball that Maple Lake played over the net. Though this strategy kept them in the game, the Irish con-

tinued to play their game. Their serves stayed consistent and they never let up at the net. The hard work from the Maple Lake team resulted in a 28-26 Irish win. Already reaching one goal, the Irish strive to achieve more. They hope to succeed in playoffs and winning against Zimmerman only

helped them prepare for it. "Beating Zimmerman really pumped up our whole team because it prepared us for what we'll see if we make it to the end of playoffs and have to play them again," junior Choe Callahan said.

Irish football team returning to section final game

For the fifth straight year, the Maple Lake Irish football team will be playing in the section final game. At 7 p.m. Thursday, the Irish will take on Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted. In order to get to that game, the Irish first had to get past Spectrum on Oct. 22 and Concordia Academy the following Saturday. Spectrum The Irish got off to a slow start against the Spectrum Sting, on their way to a 39-0 rout at home. In the first quarter, we had a lot of missed assignments, coach Tim Knudsen said. With the field being a slipand-slide, we couldnt get our footing, so it took us a while to get going. Fortunately for the home team, the defense did not let the visitors offense get going, even though they were given chances to do so. We put the defense in some bad field positions, Knudsen
by Gabe Licht Editor

said. We dropped a snap on a punt and had an early fumble. Their backs were against the wall and they did a heck of a job getting us out of there. In the second quarter, the Irish scoring began. Trevor Borell set the stage with a six-yard touchdown run and Charlie Stejskal added an extra point for a 7-0 lead. Dusty Strub bumped it up to a 13-0 lead with an 11-yard run. Cal Redemske pounded in a one-yard touchdown and a successful extra-point kick put the halftime score at 20-0. Scoring continued into the third quarter for the home team, with three more touchdowns on three runs by quarterback Landon Caughey. One successful extra-point kick put the final score at 39-0. Redemske was the leading rusher with 115 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, followed closely by Caugheys 95 yards on 15 carries, including his three touchdowns. Borell touched the ball twice en route to 14 yards and his touchdown, while Strubs

touchdown came on his only carry of the game. Nic Paumen was kept out of the end zone, but was able to put up 30 yards on seven touches. Cody Bakka added 13 yards on four touches and Austin Becker had five yards on two carries. The Irishs passing game was quiet, with Caughey throwing for 45 yards on 3-6 passing. Ryan Kalinowski caught two balls for 33 yards and Zach Johnson caught a 12yard pass. Nic Paumen (six tackles, three assists), Trevor Paumen and Damian Kaley (five tackles, three assists each), Redemske (four tackles, four assists) and Nick Gapinski (four tackles, three assists) led the defense. Adding to those stats were Borell (four tackles), Strub and Dominic Kaley (three tackles, three assists each), Devin Lowers (three tackles, two assists), Lucas Fobbe (two tackles, three assists), Josh Gindele (one tackle, two assists) and Landon Caughey (one tackle).

Collectively, the team allowed just 48 receiving yards on 3-12 passing and 28 rushing yards on 43 attempts. Concordia Academy Saturdays game challenged the Irish much more, as they eeked out a 27-21 win in Roseville. Just as he did in the earlier game, Borell scored first, on a nine-yard run, and Stejskals point-after-touchdown kick put the score at 7-0. Another touchdown, this time a three-yard run by Redemske, and a PAT gave the Irish a 14-0 lead. Redemske found paydirt again, from one yard out, to put the Irish up 20-0 in the second quarter. The hometown Beacons finally stopped the bleeding with a touchdown of their own to pull within 13 points. Redemske pushed the lead back up to 20 points on a oneyard touchdown run before halftime. Little did the Irish know that would be their last score. The Beacons, however, were far

from done scoring. We held on for dear life, Knudsen said. The third quarter was not good at all. We fumbled on the first possession. They capitalized on that and scored to make it 27-14. Then, we had a three-and-out. Knudsens squad ran a total of five plays in the quarter, while the opponents scored again to make it a 27-21 game after three quarters. In the fourth quarter, defense on both squads dug in. With 2:53 remaining, the Irish faced fourth down with three yards to go and decided to go for it. Knudsen said difficulty with snaps led to the decision, which ultimately turned the ball over to the Beacons. The defense stepped up and didnt let them score, Knudsen said of the home teams final possession. They got a first down and that was it. Strub (114 yards on 12 carries) and Redemske (72 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries) led the Irish rushing attack.

Borell added 18 yards and his touchdown on four carries. Caughey (17 yards on 11 carries) and Nic Paumen (12 yards on three carries) also contributed. Caughey passed for 52 yards with Kalinowski (42 yards on three grabs), Johnson (nine yards on one catch) and Blake Wellsted (one yard on one reception) catching the ball. Several players contributed on defense: Gindele (four tackles, four assists), Strub (three tackles, three assists), Fobbe (two tackles, nine assists), Gapinski (two tackles, two assists), Trevor Paumen (one tackle, five assists), Lowers and Dominic Kaley (one tackle, four assists each), Nic Paumen (one tackle, three assists), Reller (one tackle, two assists) and Damian Kaley (five assists). Knudsen said defense will be a key against HL-W-W. We need to practice well and be able to defend their wide-open offense, he said. Its going to be a battle.

Volleyball team continues winning ways in postseason play

The Irish came into playoffs with a record of 20-8. Already having a successful season, the team strived to advance their winning record. Carrying momentum from
by Jesse Wohlrabe Sports Writer

their last game, the Irish played an aggressive game and added another win, when they played the Blake Bears Thursday, Oct. 25. Game one was a start of a great match for the Irish. They showed all their skills and

made the Bears work for every point. Playing tough, they won the set 25-11. Maple Lake also won game two, 25-8. The Irish were really playing well, leaving little room for error. "We played really well as a team and our

communication was great," said junior Jillian Goelz. Playing so well the Irish had a lot of excitement and momentum on their side of the court. Their ability to play tough and be aggressive did not change at all at the end of

the game; it only got better. Toward the end of game three, the Irish showed their versatility and ability to play in different positions when they had a mix-up in the lineup. Though they were in odd positions Maple Lake continued to play

tough and score. They won 2510. The win advanced the Irish in the tournament. They played St. Anthony Village on Tuesday to see who would play in the sub-section final game Thursday.
