Diamonds and Dreams helps build new ballfields for kids
Big machines were moving dirt last week for the grading of a ballfield complex that will include two softball fields and a baseball field on school grounds east of the football stadium.
Big machines were moving dirt last week for the grading of a ballfield complex that will include two softball fields and a baseball field on school grounds east of the football stadium.
Although new ballfields are being constructed on school grounds with school financing, the project was proposed and is being supported by a community group.
In May of 2009, Scott Fobbe approached the Maple Lake School Board with a plan to build four ballfields on school property east of the football stadium. Although the project has been scaled back to three ballfields, a new community group has been involved in the planning and will be working to help fund the project.

Concrete replacement begins on Birch
Work has begun on the replacement of defective concrete on Birch Avenue. The project is a result of a settlement the City of Maple Lake reached with contractor Kuechle Underground over flaking concrete in areas of the 2008 Birch Avenue Reconstruction Project.
On Tuesday morning, workers were removing previously identified sections of concrete on the east side of Birch in the downto wn area and were then proceeding to the east side of the residential area. According to city engineers, removal and replacing of sections of curbing and sidewalk will be completed on the east side of Birch before work begins on the west side of the street. To accommodate the project, the final Music & Marketplace event in the downtown area on Saturday nights in July has been moved to the city park. The goal is to have the project completed before Maple Lake’s Days of Old celebration on August 20.
