Bleat
by Harold Brutlag
Monday mornings rain means another workout for the lawn
mowers by midweek if not sooner. This is the time of year when the
countryside blossoms out in various shades of green presenting an
appetizing view for those who enjoy Minnesotas highways and biways. On Friday our first stop was in Sauk Centre at a truck stop
just south of the freeway where we, George Palmer, Vanna and I,
loaded up on their breakfast specials. I had pancakes which I shared
with my English Setter. They were huge and tasty. Then George
Palmer and I headed for Ottertail County to try our hands at fly fishing for panfish. We stayed on the freeway until the Brandon exit and
then headed north toward Millerville. We noticed a lot of road-kill
deer along the freeway and suspect the does, for the most part, have
dropped their fawns, and are moving to find food. Most of the potholes had ducks and geese in them as we made our way through the
Leaf Mountain hills and on to the valley that leads to Inspiration
Peak, Minnesotas second highest spot. We gave Devils Lake a look,
but decided the wind would be too tough on our favorite shoreline
and headed toward Clitherall and around the east end of West Battle
Lake, ending up at Molly Stark Lake next to Glendalough State Park.
The shore line along County Road 16 was sheltered from the wind
and we found the sunfish hungry. I had one huge male fish that broke
the water nail my black and yellow Timberwolf. By 1 p.m. the bite
had tapered off and we decided wed better count noses. We had to
do some sorting and between the two of us we were seven short of
our 20-fish limits. We took a break to fillet them and enjoy a sandwich, a beer, and some cookies our wives had sent with us. While
we were filleting another family of anglers showed up with sunnies
they had caught fishing from canoes in Anne Battle Lake. That lake
has a five-fish limit, but we couldnt reach the pencil reeds in our
waders and elected to head back to Molly Stark to see if we could
The
Retiree
by Jerry Hoem
St. Lucia, June 2015
Settled by Arawaks between
1000 and 500 BC; conquered by
Caribs in 810 AD; missed by
Columbus in 1492 but found by
other explorers in the 1500s; St.
Lucia's first Europeans showed
up in 1605, only to be eaten.
Viking longboats likely
found the island earlier than
that, of course, but unfortunately, Caribs had no written
language, and the Norsemen
couldn't read anyhow, so the
groups separated in confusion
and misunderstanding. Caribs
probably thought anyone who
had rowed 5,000 miles, and
smelled like it, wouldn't taste
very good.
Sir Bentley Worthingless introduced the island to concrete
in the 1700s. He also furnished
the island with its first yardstick
to measure the concrete steps he
invented. Caribs used the yardstick to stir the pot to cook Sir
Bentley, and the yardstick was
never replaced. Consequently, to
this day, no two steps on the island are the same height.
The Dutch at one time were
attempting to settle the island,
but thought it undesirable because with their wooden shoes
they were unable to negotiate
any of the concrete steps.

Legislative
update
by Rep. Marion ONeill
Dear Neighbor,
On Friday, June 12, Governor
Dayton called a special legislative session, allowing the legislature to come back and pass
negotiated omnibus bills relating
to education, jobs and energy,
agriculture and environment,
capital investment and legacy.
While I am disappointed that the
governor chose to veto a number
of bipartisan bills late last month
and force a special legislative
session, I am pleased we were
able to negotiate an agreement
and complete our work. Overall,
our new budget will result in a

fill out our limits. It again took some sorting with both of us catching rock bass and large mouth bass, but we got the job done and
came home pleased with the outing. . . We convinced Daryl
Hennen to head back there on Sunday (he wasnt hard to convince)
and he and I decided earlier might be better and left at 5:30 a.m. The
breakfasts in Sauk Centre were great again and this time we took a
route from Evansville along Lake Christine which the DNR is bringing back as a canvasback and redhead duck breeding grounds. It
was another attractive drive that took us more directly to Battle Lake
and Molly Stark. We each headed off in different directions along
the shore, Hennen to the spot which had been the best two days earlier. When fly-fishing its surprising what a difference a day can
make and what was hot on Friday wasnt so hot on Sunday. We both
caught a lot of sunnies, but we were more interested in size than limits. I found a deep spot under the branch of a cottonwood tree that
yielded five quality sunfish and one other one that slipped out of my
hand before I could get it in the basket. We tried a couple of other
spots on the lake that had been good in previous years, but that
wasnt the case Sunday. We took a trip to Stalker Lake where the
shoreline alongside the public access was growing wide rice. Our
next stop was at Long Lakes access where the wind was not in our
favor, but two anglers coming off the lake said it was a good lake to
fish. Before heading back to Molly Stark Hennen showed me where
the Tim Risbrudts have a place on Long Lake as well as the Risbrudt
farm out of Ashby which Tim farms . We picked up three more
keepers on Molly Stark ending up with a dismal nine fish for the
day. Hennen was optimistic and commented about catching a lot of
fish, just not many large ones. We each made a mental note that flyfishing there may only be good up to June 15th. Like this area, we
didnt see evidence of a normal spawn, something that has been bugging us since before Memorial Day. . .
Hennen told us the
six of them, Jim and David Goelz, Tim Risbrudt, Rick Benson and
a newcomer, Denny Delzer, Dalton, had great walleye and northern
fishing on their Canada fly-in trip two weeks ago. They had to fight
the wind and rain during part of the six-day run, but the fishing made
up for it. Risbrudt was the envy of the group when he caught a lake
trout. If there was a down-side to the trip, Hennen said it was the
mosquitoes which pestered them even while they were out on the
lake. It took a lot of OFF when the wind wasnt blowing he said.

To the Editor,
In recent days, the news
media has characterized the special session called by the governor as somewhat ordinary. Its a
fair claim and noteworthy that
we have had 29 special sessions
during the past 40 years, 14 special sessions for the 40 year period prior to 1975 and only
seven special sessions in more
than 75 years since statehood in
1858.
Article IV, Sec. 12 of our
state constitution states that A
special session of the legislature
may be called by the governor
on extraordinary occasions.
Merriam-Webster defines extraordinary as 1a: going beyond
what is usual, regular, or customary b: exceptional to a very
marked extent c: of a financial
transaction: nonrecurring. It
would appear that extraordinary
is the operative word in this circumstance and by definition our
special sessions are no longer
extraordinary.
Past custom and usage
demonstrates that special sessions were called primarily to
deal with emergencies or situations beyond the control of the
legislature. The year 1862 is
cited for dealing with war, the
1930s with relief caused by the
Great Depression, 1944 with
suffrage for our military during
World War II. Notable during the
last 40 years and 29 special sessions we have dealt with: floods
six times, budget and finance issues 18 times notably, including
education issues, twice about
iron range unemployment benefits, once to finance a baseball
stadium, and once at the request
of Dayton-Hudson Corporation
in an apparent move to have
government protect it from private hostile shareholder action.

by Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: I read your last article on rear license plate lamps
and the display of license plates
and this got me wondering as I
went to renew my registration
the other day. They gave me new
license plates and said they do
this every seven years. Why is
that?
Answer: Good question.
Under Minnesota State Statute
168.12 states, Plates issued for
passenger automobiles must be
issued for a seven-year period.
All plates issued under this paragraph must be replaced if they
are seven years old or older at the
time of registration renewal or
will become so during the registration period.
The replacement is in part due
to the safety reflectorization required for the plate. Its required
that Minnesota license plates be
readable from 110 feet and be
visible from a vehicle equipped

fully, the Legion Riders will increase membership for other Legion groups as well. We have a
good Legion here and we dont
want to see it go away like the
VFW, Huro said.
The new organization had its
first meeting on, Thursday, June
4, and will continue to meet at
the Legion the first Thursday of
every month at 6:30 p.m. Anyone interested in joining or in
need of their services are welcome to attend, Rossberg said.
The rides themselves usually
consist of a 100-mile loop with
several scheduled stops along
the way for food and refreshments. The Legion Riders group
generally alerts the businesses
they are going to stop at and in
return riders get a discount on
their meals and drinks. Often
those same businesses will also
make a charitable donation to
the cause. Sometimes more than
80 bikers hit the road with the
Legion Riders.
We just want the community
to know what we are about,
Huro said. So when they see a
bunch of motorcycles outside
the Legion they will know were
not a bunch of yahoos, were
here to help.

The Catch
by Jeff Plattner
2015 GMs Draft
(Part II)
The NBA Draft is just about
here and while my good
friend, Jay, and I covered the
lottery picks last week, this
week well finish out the first
round in Part II of the 2015
GMs Draft.
(Jay) With the 15th pick in
the 2015 NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks select Trey Lyles,
PF Kentucky. We have quietly
been hoping and praying that
Lyles would fall to us at 15.
Hes one of the most versatile
players in the draft and you
forget that hes 611 when
hes handling the ball like a
guard. He can shoot from outside and give us options in
case Millsap or Carroll decide
to leave in free agency this
summer.
(Jeff) With the 16th pick,
the Boston Celtics select, Sam
Dekker, SF Wisconsin. Sorry
Milwaukee, but we were ecstatic to see such an exceptional athlete still on the board
here. While there are questions
around the consistency of his
outside shot, we're confident
that Sam will work hard to improve in that area. With Young
last year and now Dekker,
we're continuing to build an
athletic team that can get up
and down, pushing tempo.
(Jay) With the 17th pick,
the Milwaukee Bucks select
Bobby Portis, PF Arkansas.
The Bucks would have loved
to fit Mr. Wisconsin into the
mix, but are confident that
Portis gives us the most flexibility. After trading Ersan
Ilyasova, we have plenty of
minutes available for a spark
plug like Bobby. He scores, rebounds and defends well. A
great fit for us.
(Jeff) With the 18th pick,
the Houston Rockets select
Tyus Jones, PG Duke. First
off, Jay I can't believe I drafted
all of your Duke players. As a
UNC fan, that makes me nauseous! Secondly, it's been no
secret that a) we love Tyus and
b) we desperately need PG
help. We even talked Tyus into
faking an injury to shut down
the rest of his workouts, by
promising we'd select him
here...oh, crap, did I just say

Maple Lake had a score to
settle going into the Friday
night game against the
Howard
Lake
Orphans.
Adding to the long-standing rivalry between the teams, the
Lakers were shut out in
Howard Lake earlier in the
season, their only North Star
League loss. As if that wasnt
enough, former Laker Riley
Gruenhagen jumped ship to
the Orphans, informing the
Lakers the night before that he
would be starting at third base.
The stage was set. Maple
Lake did not mess around. Jeremy Schmidt got the start and
went all nine, giving up four
hits and a walk while notching
eight strikeouts.
The Lakers threatened a
few times before putting up
three in the fifth. Brian Redemske and Mitch Wurm each
hit a double but Maple Lake
could not capitalize on their
efforts.

Maple Lake 7
Rockford 4
The Lakers were the away
team in Maple Lake Sunday
evening for Fathers Day.
Maple Lake jumped out to an
early lead, scoring a run in the
first and third innings. Brian
Russell got the start and
looked impressive the first
time through the order. Rockford figured things out the second time around, scoring one
in the fourth and two in the
fifth to take the lead. Russell
was pulled after going five and
two-thirds, giving up nine hits
and two walks while striking
out nine. Todd Fuller settled
things down a bit, holding the
River Bandits to three hits, a
walk and an unearned run in
three and a third innings. A
pinch-hitting Chad Dad
Raiche blasted a home run in
the eighth to tie the game before a three-run ninth gave
Maple Lake the runs to win it.
Luke Fobbe had a big day, hitting a double and a triple,
while Brian Redemske and
Graham Brown each had a pair
of steals.

Based on the available information used for the preparation of
this report, the site appears to be
developable, Gravel said. The site
does not appear to be much different than portions of existing developed property to the west of
Spruce Avenue. Some of the positive aspects to the site include the
proximity of Spruce Avenue and
existing municipal utilities. Sewer
and water stubs have been provided to the site. Some of the negative aspects of the site include
soil issues, anticipated wetland
areas and drainage concerns. A
concept plan includes land for
public right-of-way, storm water
ponding, wetlands and developable lots. Based on the concept
plan, the site could yield approximately 38.6 net developable acres.
Estimated construction cost to
build an east-west street and associated support utilities is about
$1.19 million. Additional costs for
items such as land acquisition,
