The anticipated cost of the

enovated historic court house

ontinues to be below the origi-

al $4.3 million estimate in

xcess of $500,000, Todd County

ommissioners learned at their

uesday June 7 meeting. The

rice tag did creep up $30,418.71

when commissioners rejected the

rchitects original advice and

ecided to replace the seven-

ear-old asphalt shingles on the

uilding with gray steel shingles.

he architect said the asphalt

hingles would last another

wenty years but the commis-

ioners wanted a new roof over

heir multi-million dollar reno-

ation. The estimated cost of the

ew steel roof is $49,218.71. The

stimated cost of repairing the

xisting roof was $18,800.

The current estimated cost for

he entire renovation is

3,718,091.80, according to the

roject's construction manager,

ontegrity Group. Tuesday, com-

missioners approved contracts

or carpentry, casework, acousti-al treatments, flooring, paint-

ng, specialties, elevator, fire pro-

ection, HVAC, controls, and

esting. Ricks Cabinets of

Browerville was awarded a

$137,250.00 contract for case-

work. Other contracts were

awarded to firms from

Alexandria, Royalton, Sauk

Rapids, Mankato, and the Twin

Cities. Arequest for bids for roof-

ing, door frames and hardware

will be publicized in the near

future.

Earl Fuechtman, of

Contegrity, said the excavating

company was setting up on June

7. His company will be opening

their construction trailer at the

site Monday June 13.

HIGH SPEED INTERNET

MIS Director Chris Pelzer

received approval to upgrade the

countys internet connection

from 1.5 megabytes per second to

100 megabytes per second. The

increase in internet speed would

increase county worker produc-

tivity but would cost an addition-

al $8,700 per year. Pelzer said

the current internet system

could be compared to a two-lane

highway constantly clogged with

rush hour traffic. The new 100-megabyte system would be like a

ten-lane highway. The $8,700

amount is not budgeted for this

year.

Commissioner Randy

Neumann objected to the

upgrade because it was not in

this years budget. He said it

should be part of the discussion

for next years budget.

SEPTIC SYSTEM INSPEC-

TIONS

Commissioners awarded a

$60,088.00 contract to Bollig,

Incorporated, to test for compli-

ance on 518 septic systems on

Big Birch, Latimer, Maple, and

Osakis lakes in southern Todd

County. Inspections will likely

begin in June. The money comes

from a Minnesota Board of Soil

and Water Resources grant

obtained by Todd County

Planning and Zoning. Planning

and Zoning will work closely

with Bollig and lake shore own-

ers to make the project move

smoothly, Garry Johanson,

Planning and Zoning

Administrator, said.

Commissioner David Kircher

said he objected to hiring a

Willmar company when local

companies could do the work.Johanson explained that local

companies bidding on the project

were also septic system

installers. Johanson said a com-

pany inspecting a septic system

they had installed might createthe perception of a conflict of

interest. He said the State of

Minnesota says a company can

not inspect its own septic sys-

tem. Bollig does not install septic

systems. Commission RandyNeumann said normally hed

prefer to see local companies do

the work but in this case it was

By Tarissa Host.

Many may have heard rumors

bout the plans for Motzkos

ield, but few know the whole

ory. Motzkos Field has been a

major asset to the city of

rowerville. Take one look at the

cilities on Motzkos Field andou can tell that it has been

round for a long time.

However over the years some

f the facilities at the field have

ecome rundown and are in seri-

us need of replacement.

Without proper

facilities camping on the grounds

is almost impossible.

Motzkos Field is a very popu-

lar place among softball teams,

and now with the addition of a

sand volleyball court, volleyball

teams. When these teams camp

at Motzkos Field or stay therefor a day they need proper facili-

ties.

People are taking notice that

Motzkos Field needs to be updat-

ed in order to draw more people

into the city. Take Browerville

Days for example. Lets say that

there are fourteen softball teams,

forty-eight bean bag teams, and

six volleyball teams at Motzkos

Field through the course of the

weekend.

Between these three events

there would be anywhere from

four-hundred to five-hundredpeople including fans, players,

and their families. Now lets say

that each person spends fifty dol-

lars, whether it be on concessions

or at a local business. That would

average out to be about twenty-

thousand dollars into the com-

munity in a single weekend.

Members of the Browerville

Lions Club want to make

Motzkos Field more accessible

by progressively improving the

lot. They want to transform

Motzkos Field into a nice recre-

ational area where families and

people of the community canrelax and enjoy the property.

The members also want better

facilities for when there are soft-

ball tournaments or events such

as Browerville Days when people

are camping and need user

friendly facilities. They are look-

ing to promote recreational

events such as softball on

Motzkos Field above all.

The first plan of action begins

with improving the

restroom/concession stand build-

ing. The plan is to replace the

current restrooms/concessions

that were built in the 1970s with

modern concessions, storage, andrestroom facilities.

If you have seen the restrooms

or concession stand at Motzkos

Field you know why this needs to

be done. The entire facility is

seriously in need of replacing.

The building itself, now dilap-

idated and rotting, is around

thirty-five years old It is small

and slowly disintegrating. In

order to continue to serve large

numbers of people, the building

needs to be larger and more user

friendly.

Members of the Lions Club

found a great opportunity to takeon this project. Their main goal

is to remove the old building and

replace it with a whole new

building that will be made o

brick and completely mainte-

nance free. The new building

will also be handicap accessible.

It will not only have new rest-

rooms, a new concession stand,

and more storage space, but also

have showers.

The members of the

Browerville Lions Club believe

this project will be the beginning

stage of the club and community

working together to make

Motzkos Field into a great recre-ational area. It is also a step

towards improving the communi-

ty. They are hoping with more

time and money they can even-

tually add another canoe landing,

and televised. This showed a

large hole in one of the waste

water lines. The solution to fix it

is to put in a sleeve that would

plug the hole at a cost of approx-

imately $5,000 vs. the cost of dig-

ging up and replacing that par-

ticular line. It was also discov-

ered that 10 manholes wereleaking water into the waste

water treatment plain. Cost to

seal them is approximately

$1,000 each.

Some of the blowers at the

waste water plant are not work-

ing. The blowers are used to

push oxygen into the pond for

the breakdown process. These

are the original blowers that

were put in when the plant was

built during the 1980s. They are

old, worn out and parts are no

longer available for them. New

blowers would be more energy

efficient, up to 60% of power cost

compared to what the old ones

cost to operate. Estimated cost of

blowers, laterals and installation

is approximately $400,000.

Lynn will see if there is any

grant money available for energy

efficient equipment, but there ismoney in the Waste Water Fund

to help cover the cost. Council

members approved.

Chuck is working with

Statema Backhoe for a long term

solution to repair 6th street by

the school.

Mike Bruder from Prairie

Sanitation stated that both the

tipping fees and fuel costs have

continued to rise. Example - the

cost per ton has seen an increase

of $5.00. Council members

approved a slight garbage fee

increase; for a 35 gallon can the

increase will be .20 cents per

month up to .37 cents per monthfor a 95 gallon can.

Council members also voted to

accept the donation of $750.00

from the Browerville Sportsman

Club. This money will be used

towards the purchase of training

equipment and continuing edu-

cation for the Browerville

Ambulance Department.

The Board of Appeals &

Equalization Training will be

held in Long Prairie on August

24, 2011. Hannah Wieshalla will

attend.

I am not opposed to camping,

there is a good reason for it. To

me, going camping just to be

amping is unacceptable. Some

eople enjoy this activity, which

s fine with me, I just dont hap-

en to be one of those people.

When on a hunting trip to the

mountains of Colorado, camping

s the only option. Ive even

njoyed camping under those

ircumstances other than theme my two teen-aged sons

ent a sapling over and pitched

my tent on top of it. Alway be

eery of teenagers wanting to be

elpful. After moving my tent in

he dark that night, the rest of

he camping trip was very pleas-

nt.

Recently, my wife and I have

een camping, with good reason.

We sold our house, turned over

he keys, and the construction

n the new house has not been

ompleted. Depending on the

ay, or a persons attitude, we

re happy to have a place to live

or are hating the camping life.

My son, Damon, has a very

nice camper that he has gra-

ciously lent us during our time

of need. It works well and serves

our basic needs but we are far

from living in the style to which

we have been accustomed. The

biggest problem weve encoun-

tered is the location of the

camper. Since our building site

doesnt have water or electricity,

were camping in Damons

driveway. Im not complaining,

since we dont have many

options that would be better, but

Damons driveway has a few

things that are definite nega-

tives, perhaps four things. I

dont want to sound ungrateful,

but three coyote hounds live

about a hundred yards from the

camper pad. The coyote hounds

do what hounds are supposed to

do. They alert everyone in the

area to all threats, both per-

ceived and real. A coyote may be

passing through the area

around midnight. Personally, I

dont care if all the coyotes in the

state are parading under my

window. I would like to sleep.

The dogs must announce in loud

and melodic tones about what is

either impending doom or the

need to immediately go hunting.

If neither happens, after a few

minutes they quiet down and

wait for the next crisis, which

without fail, occurs within the

next hour.

The fourth and possibly the

worst annoyance of our camping

experience is the rooster.

Damon has a few hens that pro-

vide an unending supply of

fresh brown eggs and one roos-

ter that provides what he con-

siders music in the early morn-

ing hours. He seems to be of the

opinion everyone and every-

thing in the area would like to

hear how well he can crow at 3

a.m. Hes mistaken, as even the

coyote hounds are tired by that

time of the morning. A person

doesnt have to be close to a roos-

ter to be able to hear him loud

and clear. This must make him

extremely proud, as he will

make another attempt at wak-

ing up the world around 4:30

a.m. Some people arent amused

and have thought up various

chicken recipes in the wee hours

of the morning. By 6 a.m., Im

up having coffee beside the

camper. At that time, the rooster

will fly up and stand on the top

of the fence that surrounds his

pen. Hell face east and crow

twice. He will then turn careful-

ly around, face west, and crow

two more times. Happy that his

job is done, he flies back down to

be with his hens. By this time, I

find his crowing rather enter-

taining. My wife is still trying to

sleep and dreaming of chicken

recipes.

Ive come to understand how

some people enjoy camping.

There are parts of it that are

interesting and fun as long as

you dont take three coyote

hounds and a rooster camping

with you.

VA Says PTSD Affects Most OIF-OEF VetsThe Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that as many as 95 percent of

veterans returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan have some form of

post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms can include (1) nightmares,

(2) feeling numb, (3) having difficulty experiencing love or closeness with others,

(4) feeling jittery or overly alert, (5) having difficulty sleeping, (6) experiencing

anger or irritability, (7) having difficulty concentrating, (8) substance abuse

problems, (9) having feelings of despair or hopelessness.Some Benefit Increases Likely in 2012

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the Consumer Price Index for

April is up 0.8 percent over the March CPI. This is important for military

retirees, and those drawing VA benefits, because the CPI is used to determine

the annual cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) and rate adjustments to VA

Disability and Compensation, Vets Pension programs, and other VA rates for the

following year. The Military Officers Association of America reports that the

April 2011 CPI is up 2.9 percent from the 2008 CPI, which means veterans and

survivors may see an increase in compensation and pension benefits in 2012, the

first since 2008.

Vet Employment LegislationU.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs

Committee, recently introduced major legislation to help veterans struggling to

find work and to address rising unemployment among our nation's heroes.

Senator Murray's bill, the Hiring Heroes Act of 2011, is the first of its kind to

require broad job skills training for all service members returning home andcomes at a time when more than one in four veterans aged 20-24 are unem-

ployed.

Dear friends,

Nearly everyone has heard it said that in Minnesota you have two

seasons: Winter, and road construction. However, I believe there has

been a change in our seasons the last couple of years. We now have: Let

it snow, let it snow let it snow...... and Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow.

It seems the last couple of summers every nice day, if its not raining,

its blowing. It seems this summer is shaping up to be the same. Oh

well!

School has been out for some time now, but there is just as muchactivity going on at the school as ever. Between T-ball, baseball, swim-

ming, and many other activities, there is plenty to keep us running

around taking pictures. Thank goodness for summer interns. Ours,

Tarissa Host, started working at the office a little over a week ago and

Ive been keeping her busy running around interviewing summer work-

ers, taking pictures, and doing various stories. Now, she and most of the

band members are on their way to New York City on the band trip.

I remember when Jordan took this trip a few years ago, she had a

blast! I think she slept for three days solid after returning home, but

she had an opportunity to visit many places that lots of people never get

a chance to see in their lives. Kudos to Sandy Schorn for coordinating

this trip for the students, I can not imagine the amount of time she puts

into it..

Even though our baseball team didnt make it to State, they should

be very proud of themselves for the success they had this season. The

same goes for our Bronco Track Team, and Ben Dreher for his perform-

ance this year. It was a very exciting season of high school sports foreveryone.

Ive been doing a lot of yard work, a little fishing, and basically just

keeping busy so far this summer.

I cant believe Browerville Days is only two weeks away! This sum-

mer will be over before we know it.

This next weekend Nicholas and I will be going to Wisconsin for my

cousins wedding and my Grandmother Colleens 90th Birthday Party.

Its going to be a long drive as Nicholas has been with his aunt in

Zimmerman for a week and I have to pick him up there, on my way to

Duluth, to celebrate my brothers birthday, then on to Wisconsin the fol-

lowing morning. Ill be glad to be back in Browerville sometime Sunday

afternoon.

I am going to go for now. Its Monday afternoon and we need to get

the paper done.

Have a great summer.

Aaron

By Tarissa Host

Although school has been out

for a couple of weeks, the Tigers

Baseball team has been busy

playing multiple games each

week. They have greatly

improved during the year, not

only physically but as a team.

Each player has contributed

large amounts of dedication and

effort to the team.

Coach Middendorf statedthe kids were never short on

confidence. We have a young

team, but great senior leadership

and the willingness of the

younger players to put in much

needed effort is why the team is

winning. It is not one individual

that makes the team. Our boys

are playing really good baseball.

Coach Middendorf had great

expectations for his team, and

confidence in the boys that if

they worked hard they could

achieve great things. He says

they are great all around players

and work well together.

Having a young team did not

concern him or the players.

Austen Wollenburg, a senior,

said the team was glad to have a

good group of younger players to

step up. The younger players

really stepped up and filled their

positions.The players said the

upper-classman give confidence

to the under-classman. Joey

Gaida, also a senior, said As a

senior we try to pass down our

own experiences we learned from

previous seniors over the years.

The team agreed that hard

work along with team work and

game preparation has brought

them as far as theyve come.

The biggest concern the team

had in the beginning was their

defense. Mitchell Heid, pitcher

and shortstop for the Tigers said

I knew we could keep putting

runs on the board, but in order tokeep winning games and contend

for a state title, our defense

needed improvement. At the

start of the season there was

trouble with defense but after

moving people around to where

they are comfortable things

began to work out.

The team has accomplished

many things this season. To this

years seniors, the season has

been bittersweet. They hope to

have given enough advice and

encouragement to the younger

players to jump-start next years

season. It has been a great sea-

son for the young team.
