Birthday BagsBy Rin Porter

The Eagle Valley School Board held aspecial meeting on April 6 to canvass the

results of the bond referendum vote heldMarch 30. The agenda included time forthe board members to present ideasabout what to do next and time for budgetdiscussion. About 100 members of thepublic attended the meeting in the audito-rium of the Eagle Bend school building.During the meeting, it became clear thatthere is no consensus within the boardabout what to do next.

The results of the bond referendumshowed a stunning division between thetwo communities that comprise the EagleValley School District. Clarissa voted 449yes and 239 no. Eagle Bend voted 175yes and 402 no. The totals of 624 yesand 641 no means the referendum failed

by 17 votes.The March 30 bond referendum was

the second attempt within the past sixmonths to get agreement from voters tosupport the issuing of $4.86 million inbonds to pay for building renovations inthe districts two aging schools. A bondreferendum was defeated November 3,

2009.The Eagle Bend building was con-

structed in 1941, and received additions

in 1952, 1964, 1980, 1988, and 1993.The Clarissa building was constructed in1914, and received additions in 1950,1957, 1962, 1965, 1986, and 1990.Virtually no maintenance has been per-formed on either building since the early1990s, and both buildings need repairsand updates.

The district has 306 students regis-tered this year, about equally dividedbetween the elementary school and thehigh school. The school district is in debtand has little prospect of becoming sol-vent. Governor Pawlentys unallotment offunds and delays in sending school fundshave affected the district also.

During discussion about what to do

next, the deep divisions among the sevenschool board members were apparent.Board members proposed four possibleplans for the next school year and thefuture, to be discussed at the April 12 reg-ular meeting. The plans reveal the dis-agreements among the board.

1. Move all students to Clarissa, and

keep the agriculture and industrial artsprograms open in the Eagle Bend build-ing.

2. Schedule a bond and referendumlevy large enough to keep both buildingsopen, upgrade both buildings, andimprove curriculum offerings.

3. Focus on improving the curriculum,and schedule a levy to cover the cost ofcarrying out only the desperately neededrepairs such as a new roof.

4. Keep the current plan, but tweak it alittle bit to please certain voters, and holdanother bond referendum as soon as pos-sible.

When Board Chair Joel Goddingasked board members to approve infor-mal discussions he and SuperintendentJim Madsen would like to hold with thesuperintendents of the Browerville and

Bertha school districts, three board mem-bers said yes, two said no, and two wouldnot make a direct response. The matterof the informal discussions was tableduntil the April 12 meeting.

Superintendent Madsen suggestedhiring a professional firm from Rochester

Near a window with lace curtains, a police scanner sputters to life. Thats enter-tainment for me, says Loretta Peterson, 83, from a chair at her dining table. It getsquiet around here sometimes. Her house, seven miles northeast of Hewitt, is awash inknick-knacks and photos of her four children and nine grandchildren.

Since her husband, Floyd, died in 1993, Peterson has lived alone on this farm, whichused to produce corn and oats and cows milk. And lots of rocks, she adds. But Ivenever been lucky enough to sell those.

Peterson lives on Social Security, her husbands veterans benefits, and help fromher kids, who live nearby. Money can get tight. Last winter I sold scrap to pay for fueloil, she says. Her primary meal each day comes via twice-monthly deliveries of frozendinners from Meals on Wheels, run out of the senior center in Eagle Bend.

Its a complex web of family, volunteers, government services and private donations

that keeps seniors like Peterson in their homes, a web that will be tested in comingyears as Todd Countys elderly population grows.The county is grayer than the Minnesota average seniors make up nearly 17 per-

cent of the population, compared with 12.5 percent for the state as a whole. The com-ing silver tsunami of retiring baby boomers, means that by 2030 one out of four resi-dents is expected be over 65, putting Todd County at the fore of a national trend.

How well residents deal with that in coming years depends on many factors, includ-ing the economy, technology, retention of young people, immigration trends and chang-ing lifestyles of the elderly. But fundamental will be the kind of web that supports peo-ple like Peterson.

Dale Judes, an agile 63-year-old who favors cowboy boots, drives for the Meals onWheels bundled meal program and delivers to Peterson. The program, which servesaround 30 elderly and needy in the far reaches of Todd County, is one of only a hand-ful of similar efforts in the state.

Each week, Judes loads his Jeep with coolers full of food customers typicallyreceive 14 frozen dinners, a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and desserts and drives,all the while punching numbers into his GPS. The biggest purpose is to keep people

out of the nursing home, he says. People do better in their own environments.Nursing homes, he adds, can feel like, holding pens for the mortician.Judes philosophy squares with the states push to keep elderly people independent

for as long as possible. This reflects the changing desires of retirees and also therecasting of the nursing home as a temporary rehab center rather than the end of theroad. The approach saves money: Nursing homes cost almost $60,000 per resident peryear in Minnesota, while other options, such as assisted living or the use of home healthaides, are less expensive.

Saving money, especially public dollars, on elder care will become more crucial as

Pizza Inside A Pizza2 cans refrigerated pizza dough 3/4 c. shredded Monterey Jack

2-3/4 c. shredded mozzarella 3/4 c. shredded Cheddar

(divided use) 3/4 c. shredded Provolone

2 T. grated Parmesan 2 T. grated Romano

Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, etc.)

1 jar pizza sauce

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, unroll first pizza dough.Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Place in a well-greased

12-inch pizza pan. Trim dough with a knife or pizza wheel to fit inside the diameter of the pan.

Pierce dough with a fork every half-inch to prevent air bubbles. (This will ultimately be your

top crust.) Prebake this crust for 5 minutes; remove crust from pan and place on a wire rack

to cool.

Prepare the second crust for the pan in the same way, but remove the excess dough

around the edges by rolling a rolling pin over the top of the pan to form a lip on the crust.

Pierce with a fork. Combine 3/4 cup mozzarella and remaining cheeses and spread evenly

over this crust. Put the partially baked crust on top of the cheese layer.Spread 1/2 cup of

pizza sauce over this top crust, then scatter the toppings of your choice, starting with meats,

then vegetables. Finish with the final 2 cups of mozzarella.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Yield: 8 servings

Beginners luck - a thing of

the past?A few months back I mentioned a book pub-

lished by a Minnesota writer by the name of

Mark Strand. "Paint the next sunrise: A future

for hunting & fishing." There is even a copy at

the Browerville public school library. This book

was written and published for an introduction

for the School of Outdoor Sports. So what is the

School of Outdoor Sports you might ask? It's

simple. It's a place for people to go that might want to get into anew area of the outdoor world and pick up some tricks and tips to

get started.

You don't have to be a child to view this material. In time there

should be video segments for just about anything related to hunt-

ing, fishing or shooting. I'll be 40 soon, and I have never hunted

bear. Thats one thing I'd love to hunt for before I'm not here any-

more. In time, I hope I too can watch some of these videos to pick

up on a few sports I have yet to try. There will be a segment of

videos to get you started in all types of outdoor fun. Maybe youre

new to this area, moved here from some place that doesn't have

walleye to fish for, or even Pike. Once again, there will be sections

that will cover all of the basics to get you started. After each lesson,

you can request a diploma. The overall goal is to reach out to peo-

ple and get them interested in starting something new and excit-

ing to do outdoors.

With all of the turkeys running around, I want to toss out the

inside scoop on a couple of the top dogs running this school. MarkStrand is a very addicted gobbler hunter. He has traveled far and

wide chasing these birds for many years, so between him and Ray

Eye another man involved in the school, the turkey lessons will be

better than what you see on the average outdoor programs on TV.

I'm sure many of you have read some of Marks work in Turkey &

Turkey Hunter Magazine. Or maybe even the Outdoor News. So

the next time you have a rainy day and are looking to expand into

a new area of fishing , hunting or shooting, be sure to stop in and

visit www.learnoutdoorsports.org It's all free, and the best part

about online videos ... No commercials.

I have heard it hundreds of times; someone new to a sport does

something great, like catch a huge fish, or shoot a monster buck.

People always say "Ahhh! Just beginners luck!" For the most part

I've always loved watching fishing on TV, since the days of Virgil

Ward. But as far back as I can remember, someone always had a

few good words to add from their sponsors. S.O.S. (School of

Outdoor Sports) is going to change the way people think about luck

and beginners without making you believe that there is some new

magical jig that will help you put more fish in the boat, or some

new fancy bottle of deer pee that will fool all the bucks. It's all

about the basics, and what people can do to hone their skills to

make them feel better then just lucky the next time they head out-

doors. Sure there will be sponsors if you look around and pay close

attention to what is in the videos, but I don't think you'll ever

watch a video where a salesman is casting a lure into a tank of

hungry fish telling you they have a new bait to sell you. S.O.S. only

has one goal in mind, Saving Outdoor Sports for the next genera-

tions by getting more people interested in being successful the next

time they try something new.

Outstanding Wastewater Treatment Operator AwardThe Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) recently recog-

nized Chuck Buhl from the city of Browerville for outstanding per-

formance in wastewater operations during 2009. The awards were

announced March 25 at the 73rd Annual Wastewater Operations

Conference in Brooklyn Center.

To be eligible for the award, facility operators had to comply with

discharge permit requirements throughout the 2009 calendar year.

These requirements included submitting all monitoring reports to

the MPCA correctly and on time, demonstrating compliance

through monitoring or in surveys, and employing MPCA-certified

operators.

The city of Browerville first received this award in 1993 and has

earned an award 15 times since then.

Former Senator Mark Daytonand his campaign staff servedpizza and listened to voters whenhe visited Griff's Pizza in LongPrairie Tuesday April 6. Daytonvisited Long Prairie, and laterStaples, as part of his Dayton'sstatewide tour of Minnesota's 87counties in 87 days. The statewidetour is part of Dayton's campaignto become Minnesota's next gover-nor. Dayton said he is skipping theDemocratic state endorsing con-vention and going directly to thepeople in the August primary elec-tion.

"I respect the Democratic Party,but in a democracy I believe thepeople should choose the candi-dates," Dayton said. "That's whatprimary elections are for. The citi-zens decide in a democracy."

Dayton's campaign theme is "ABetter Minnesota".

"We've got school district's thatare going to four day school weeks,"Dayton said. "I've been to China anumber of times in recent years. Ifour children don't have to get out ofbed on Friday morning they arenot going to be prepared to com-pete with the hard workingChinese."

Dayton said he would find themoney so schools don't have to cutback by taxing the wealthiest tenpercent of Minnesotans.

"If people are successful theyshould be glad to pay their fairshare of taxes," the heir to theDayton family fortune said.

Dayton said his plan was to taxthe 278,000 people in the state whoearn $310,000 a year or more. Heestimates he could raise $4 billionin the next biennium. That wouldgo a long way to shrinking thestate's budget deficit he said.

Dayton said he would not sup-port any other tax increases,including a sales tax on clothing.

"Property taxes have gone uptoo much already," he said. "Mygoal is to make taxation progres-sive. I will not support any othertax increases."

Dayton was critical of GovernorPawlenty for campaigning so muchduring the legislative session.

"Any other state employee whomissed so much work would befired," Dayton said of Pawlenty'snational travels. "He's been gonemore than a third of the time so hissalary should be cut by a third."

Dayton was also critical of theGovernor's threat to sue the feder-al government over the medicalinsurance reform bill.

"That will cost at least $100,000of taxpayers money," Dayton said.

Dayton said he supported alter-native energy, affordable medicalcare for all Minnesotans, and stateinvestments in transportation.

I thought all dogs could swim.

thought wrong. Duke, the

Mastiff, can not swim a stroke. I

iscovered this last fall just a few

ays after Duke came to live at

ur house. My wife and I took

im and Coty, the Lab, to the

arm. Coty naturally ran to the

ake and jumped in as usual.

uke followed, ran in until he

was over his head and came up

hrashing about, coughing, and

hoking. He managed to turn

round and struggle back to more

hallow water before I had to go

n after him. I thought this might

ave taught him a valuable les-

on. I was also wrong about that.

The days were getting cold so I

ecided to pull the boat out for

he winter. I got in the boat,

ntied from the dock and swung

he boat around to go to the

each where I could get it out

with the truck. Duke saw me

eaving, ran down the dock, and

ove off. He could not swim a bit

etter than he could a few min-

tes before, and had also forgot-

ten that fact. He was also in

much deeper water. I circled

back, jumped to the front of the

boat and grabbed the large pan-

icky dog by the scruff of the neck

as he was on his way down for

the third time. I couldnt pull one

hundred twenty pounds of terri-

fied dog up into the boat so we

motored in slow looping circles as

I pondered my next move. I

moved toward the back of the

boat until I could straighten the

tiller with my outstretched foot

and send us back toward shore.

When Dukes feet finally touched

bottom, he lunged toward shore

while I sat back to relax myaching arm. Duke saw me move

toward the back of the boat to

shut off the motor and jumped

back into the water. I only had to

drag him a few feet that time to

get him to safety. I decided we

had three problems:

1. The dog can not swim a lick.

2. The dog does not know he

can not swim.

3. He is not the brightest light-

bulb on the Christmas tree.

I know Mastiffs are not known

as water dogs but most animals

can swim. Ive seen horses, cows,

and deer swim. I thought every-

thing could swim. If they couldnt

swim, I thought they would at

least have sense enough not to

try.

This spring, our routine has

changed a bit. If were going out

in the boat, Duke gets to stay

home. If were going anywhere

near the lake when Duke is

along, my job is to make sure he

doesnt follow Coty into the

water. If were fishing from shore,

I have to stay away from all other

fisher-persons, especially my

wife. Duke may or may not dive

in on a suicidal attempt to swim,

but its guaranteed, hell run up

and down the shore in front of a

person, splashing everywhere

while grabbing great mouthfuls

of water on alternating lopes.

With very little effort and much

enthusiasm, he can scare every

fish within several hundred

yards.

Over the past few months,

Duke has grown from a giant

gangly puppy to one hundred

seventy pounds of raw muscle

and enthusiasm. What he lacks

in acuity he more than makes up

for in happiness. My only hope is

he will either learn to swim or

figure out that he doesnt know

how to. I think it would make

both our lives easier.

Dear friends,

Whew! Back from a quick two day vacation at Breezy Point, a week-

end full of grandkids, company and family, yard projects, and beautiful

weather. I have much work to catch up with today, but the break was

really fun, even more fun than I expected.

We had the unexpected opportunity to spend a day at Breezy Point in

someones time-share two bedroom condo. This time of year there werevery few people at the resort and we had the entire pool to ourselves--

which is the only reason I went swimming. Me, in a swimming suit, in

public, with people--I dont think so, but with the entire place to ourselves

it was fun. I havent been in a pool for years, and had forgotten just how

much fun and relaxing it can be. Between the pool and the hot tub, we

spent time in the pool side chairs reading and relaxing. What a pleasant

way to spend a weekday afternoon. An afternoon that would normally

have been a work day. Maybe thats why it felt so good to do nothing.

We had plenty of goodies to eat, plenty of reading material, plenty of

time to talk, take a nap, read and enjoy our respite. On the way home we

stopped at a used book store, bad idea, and spent a couple hours there.

We were really good though, only purchasing six books. I kept my hands

in my pockets most of the time to discourage myself from looking inside

books that had intriguing titles or cool covers. I found lots of books that I

read when I was a kid and had fun looking through them and remem-

bering how much I enjoyed them.

Of course, coming home and cleaning out the car, sorting out the laun-dry, and putting the food away was a back to reality check. But, still, the

weather was gorgeous and I hung the wash on the line--something I real-

ly like to do. It smells so fresh and good when I bring it in. There is noth-

ing like the smell and feel of fresh line dried sheets on the bed.

Over the weekend we had the typical influx of kids and adults. Some

stayed for meals, some were overnighters, and some just visited for a bit.

Between cooking and doing dishes I managed to find time to read a few

stories and play puzzles with a couple of two year olds, watch a movie

with a twelve year old, bake cookies with a granddaughter and her

cousin, visit with a couple daughters, and send grandpa out to show the

cows to a grandson (who was a little intimidated by their size when they

were up close and personal.)

So, now it is Monday, and there was lots of catching up to do at the

office. But, as always, it gets done and the paper is put together. Spring

sports are in full swing, prom is just around the corner, and thoughts

turn to graduation and summer vacation. The years just seem to f ly by. I

cant believe I have a granddaughter graduating from high school this

spring. It seems like she was just born, and I remember her as a toddler,

kindergartener, and when starting junior high seemed like such a huge

step. Now she is 18, and a soon to be high school graduate. Where did the

time go? My goodness, it really doesnt seem like its been that long since

her mom, my oldest daughter, was graduating from BHS. I hate to say it,

but I must be getting old!

Gode and Lorentz win

state championshipsBy Coach Lorentz

The Browerville/Eagle Valley elementary wrestling Broncos added two

more State Champions over the weekend of April 9-11. Landon Gode and

Cael Lorentz earned the prestigious honor, and join fellow State

Champion Carter Meiners, as Broncos who won State Tournaments this

season.

Landon Gode, Levi Line, Mason Gode, and Paul Wagner competed in

the NYWA State Tourney in Rochester on April 10-11. Landon Gode led

the way, capping off a incredible season by winning the (K-60) State

Tournament. Landon won his first match of the tourney with a 17 second

pin. In the Quarter finals, Landon came out on top of a hard fought 9-5

win. In the Semi finals, Landon wrestled extremely well and took thematch 7-1, and moved into the Championship match on Sunday the 11th.

Landon took on Joshua Wagener from Waconia, and won the NYWA2010

Championship with an 8-2 win. Landon not only became the first Bronco

Kindergartener to win this tournament, but also the first Bronco ever to

win the NYWA Championship. Landon ended his season with one lone

loss on the year. Tremendous job by this young Bronco and his family.

Mason Gode wrestling in his first NYWA State Tourney, competed in

the (1-2) 70 division. Mason, a first grader, represented the Broncos with

great pride and effort, fell short losing two tough matches and was out of

contention on Day 1. Mason, who wrestled older wrestlers all season, had

an incredible season and will definitely be back to improve on his first

appearance.

Paul Wagner competed in his first NYWAState Tourney in the (1-2) 75

division. In the opening round, Paul lost to the eventual champion 2-0.

Paul's first wrestleback match lasted all of 13 seconds, as Paul moved on

to wrestle in the next round. Paul fell to the eventual 5th place finisher 9-

6 in the next round. What a great showing in his first State tourney. Paulwho is a second grader, had never wrestled until this season. An absolute

tremendous season by this youngster.

Levi Line, second grade, also wrestled in his first NYWA State

Tournament over the weekend. Levi, the lone 2009 State Champion for

the Broncos, wrestled a tough wrestler from Paynesville in the opening

round. Levi lost a competitive match, and fell to the consolation bracket.

In the first round Levi received a bye, and followed with a fall victory in

his next match. Levi's tourney came to end with a tough defeat, one match

away from placing in the tournament. Levi wrestled well all season and

will be looking for more hardware next season. Great Job to all Broncos

who competed in the State Tourney!

Cael Lorentz traveled to Grand Rapids over the weekend of April 9-10.

Cael, first grade, competed in the 53 lb 1st grade division. Cael won the

tourney with three first period falls, to become the third Bronco State

Champion this season. Cael capped of his impressive season with his 37th

pin victory of the season, in the championship match. Great Job!

Melvin Blumer, first grade, traveled to Mahnomen on April 10. Melvinhas really wrestled well for the Broncos as of late, continued with a 3rd

place finish in the Tourney.

Over the Easter weekend, seven Broncos competed in two area tour-

neys. April 2nd, six Broncos invaded Sebeka to wrestle in Day 1 of the

Weekend Warrior Tournament. This yearly and growing event brought

out some very tough competition from all over the state. The Broncos had

five Champions on the day. Landon Gode, Cael Lorentz, Ian Gould, Nye

and Noah Becker all won tourney titles. Mason Gode who was bumped up

a grade, claimed runner-up honors. Impressive results Broncos, way to go

boys!

Cael Lorentz and Melvin Blumer wrestled on April 3, at the OTC

Easter Tourney in Battle Lake. Cael won Championship honors, and

Melvin brought home a solid third place trophy. Great job boys!

There is one more lone tourney left on the schedule. The Minnesota

Tournament of Champions which will be held in St. Michael on April 17.

The Broncos will have three participants. Cael Lorentz, Landon, and

Mason Gode are registered to compete.With the 2009-10 Browerville/ Eagle Valley Broncos elementary season

in the books, all I can say is WOW. It is just a pleasure to be part of this

growing program. It is a pleasure to be able to work with such incredible

people and coaches who have made our program a serious contender in

the years to come. Coaches this season were Julius Stone, Eric Bertram,

Fred Duncan, and myself. Andy Lancaster over sees the program and has

set the foundation for our future to be brighter than ever. The parents

dedication and trust in their kids and coaches is truly refreshing and is

just awesome to be around. Seeing our wrestlers grow weekly through the

practice room and competing in tournaments is a humbling experience.

I'm so proud of all the Broncos who gave the sport a chance this season,

and hope next year will be better than ever.

Thank you to all the kids, for being coachable and working so hard this

season. It truly showed in your efforts! Our annual banquet is scheduled

for April 13, at the Browerville School in the Commons area at 7.00.

Tiger girls gainvaluable experience

Broncos defense will

have to play well

y Coach Petermaier

The Browerville Softball team took to the field for the first time on

hursday and faced the Silverstreaks from Osakis. S. Zimmel was on her

ame as she threw strikes and hit her spots well. The Silverstreaks used

game of small ball and power to take control of the game throughout.

The Tigers, playing for the first time, had a hard time hitting the ball

play but were able to string four hits together in the fourth inning and

howed they were able to hit the ball. The Tigers, a mixed group of three

niors (Laura Duncan (P), Lindsey Duncan (1st), and Stacia Pearson

Catcher)), two juniors, Kenley Johnson (Short Stop) and Jerica

hompson (2nd) along with some younger players, Makenna Hegseth (left

eld) 7th grade, Anna Salber (right field) 8th grade, Haley Piotrowskienterfield) 8th grade, Emily Pachan (outfield) 9th grade and Abygail

ksamit (pitcher) 10th grade, saw action and will see extended action

is season.

The Tigers played well at times, but had trouble in the field at times.

e need to get some innings in us and get some real game time experi-

nce as the season goes on. A mix of well placed hits, some power and a

ost of Browerville errors made for a long fourth inning at Osakis. We are

ose and getting better and that is all you can ask for from a mixed group

experience. We need to stay positive and learn on the run and things

ill turn around for the better.

The Tigers gave up 14 runs in the fourth inning and lost 21 - 2.

roncos open seasony Coach Middendorf

Levi May went 3 for 3, and Trent Wollenburg 2 for 2, as the Broncos

pened their season at Holdingford. Those were a couple of highlights in

n otherwise dismal opener for the Broncos, as they committed five errors

at led to 12 unearned runs. Tanner Line was 1 for 2, with a double, Joey

aida and Austin Wollenburg, 1 for 3, Kraig Motzko, 1 for 2. Jordan

ithun pitched well, allowing just one unearned run in the fourth inning.

The Broncos return senior letter winners, Kraig Motzko in left field,

ames Olson and Jordan Mithun. Juniors, Levi May, centerfield, Joey

aida and Austin Wollenburg. Sophomore letter winners returning are

ustin Host and Trenton Wollenburg. Freshman pitcher shortstop,

itchell Heid also returns. Our defense will have to play well as we have

young pitching staff.

DNR QUESTION

OF THE WEEKQ: Do Minnesota state parks cur-

rently offer monthly or seasonal

camping opportunities? A: Yes, five Minnesota state

parks currently offer monthly and

seasonal camping. These opportuni-

ties came about in response to

requests from frequent overnight

park visitors who wanted to avoid

having to haul their camping units

back and forth from home to the

park, make numerous reservations,

or worry about availability.

Feedback was very positive after

the first summer of monthly and

seasonal camping for a pilot pro-

gram in 2009, so several campsites

will continue to be available for

extended stays.

Hayes Lake, Old Mill, Lac quiParle, Myre-Big Island, and Upper

Sioux Agency state parks currently

offer monthly and seasonal camp-

ing. A chart detailing dates, pricing

and contact numbers for state parks

is at

http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_p

arks/extended_stay.html.

Visit www.mnstateparks.info for

more information about the outdoor

recreation opportunities at each of

the state parks.
