    on project is once

    rchitect is respon-

    ble for escalating

    osts on the project.

    odd County Board

    f Commissioners

    meeting construc-

    on manager Earl

    ontegrity Group,

    aid the increasing

    umber of change

    rders on the proj-

    ct was the result of

    he architects fail-

    re to allow his firm

    dequate time to

    eview the engi-

    eering and design

    ocuments. Fuechtman said therchitect, Collaborative Design

    roup, gave Contegrity only one

    ay to review the documents before

    ending them to the printers.

    uechtman said his firm normally

    as two weeks to review docu-

    ments. He said there were many

    design inadequacies in the plan

    documents that his firm was

    unable to see until after the planswere printed and sent to bidders.

    As a result of past, and antici-

    pated, changes to the plans

    Fuechtman asked commissioners

    to increase the contingency fund

    for the project from its current

    level of $312,909.82 to $450,000.

    Fuechtman said this was neces-

    sary because of the inadequate

    plans from the archi-

    tect and because of

    the commissioners

    insistence on the

    highest quality work

    possible.

    Before approving

    the $138,000 increase

    in the contingency

    fund, commissioners

    reviewed a list of

    approximately forty

    changes that have

    been made or that

    Fuechtman antici-

    pates will need to be

    made in the coming

    months. The list of

    changes will cost an

    estimated $311,904.

    That, Fuechtman

    said, will leave just

    over $1,000 in the

    original contingency

    fund.Fuechtman said he has never

    worked on a project that had used

    up so much of its contingency fund

    so quickly.

    Jo Terwey lived her life from

    coast to coast but mostly

    in Minnesota

    Despite dwindling contingency fund,courthouse renovations continue to

    stay under budget

    By Rin Porter

    Jo Terwey is 95 years old this year. Her life has included riding to a

    one-room country school in a horse-drawn buggy, living in a chicken coop,

    earning credentials as a graduate dietician, living for a time in California

    and Pennsylvania, being a social worker for sixteen years, and raising

    ten children.

    Jo Terwey was born Josephine Zehnle in 1916. Her father, Johann

    Georg Zehnle, was born in the Baden Wurttemberg area of Germany in

    1877, and came to America in 1893, when he was 15 years old, to avoidthe compulsory military service that was required of all boys. He became

    known as John, and traveled to Todd County. He and his brother

    William, who came over in 1895, purchased a farm here. The U.S. Census

    of 1900 shows John and his brothers William and Rudolph living on a

    farm in Reynolds Township. A 1914 plat map shows the farm located in

    Section 16.

    About 1908, John Zehnle married Anna Maria Bous, whose parents

    Gottfried and Martha Bous lived near the Zehnle brothers in Reynolds

    Township. The Bous family had emigrated from Holland, first going to

    LeSueur County, and then to Todd County.

    John and Anna Zehnle had seven children, of which Josephine was the

    fifth born. Jo remembers going to St Marys School by horse and buggy in

    the spring and fall, with her brothers Herman and Joe, and her sister

    Gert. The family switched to the District 131 school when Jo was in the

    second grade, about 1923. Her Aunt Nellie Bous was her teacher there

    for three years. Jo and her brothers Lawrence and Arnold walked to the

    District 131 school.Every spring the school kids had to bring rakes and rake the school

    yard. After that, there was a school picnic which was a big community

    event, Jo remembers. The parents furnished the lunch and I faintly

    remember sack races and a few other games. Another big event for the

    school year was the Christmas program. Each kid got to speak a piece, be

    in a song or play, and Santa Claus gave each kid a bag of candy and nuts.

    District 131 was a one-room

    At Tuesdays Todd County Board of Commissioners

    meeting Courthouse construction manager Earl

    Fuechtman, of Contegrity Group, said the increasing

    number of change orders on the project is the result of the

    architects failure to allow his firm adequate time to

    review the engineering and design documents.

    Jo Terwey, Long Prairie, is 95 years old this year. Her life has

    included riding to a one-room country school in a horse-drawn

    buggy, and living in a chicken coop.

    States seat belt use at

    ecord high, but proper

    booster seat lowMinnesotas seat belt compli-

    nce rate continues to climb, reach-

    ng a record high of 92.7 percent,

    p slightly from 92.3 percent in

    010. However, proper use of boost-

    r seats is just 64 percent, accord-

    ng to observational surveys con-ucted by the Minnesota

    Department of Public Safety (DPS)

    Office of Traffic Safety.

    DPS officials attribute the con-

    nued increase in seat belt use to

    wareness and enforcement of the

    tates primary seat belt law, which

    ecame effective in June 2009.

    ince then, the number of unbelted

    eaths has dropped 10 percent, and

    he number of unbelted severe

    njuries has dropped 5 percent.

    This law allows law enforcement

    o stop and ticket unbelted drivers

    r passengers. Astatewide seat belt

    nforcement campaign to increase

    elt use is on the roads throughOct. 27.

    This high belt use rate means

    more Minnesotans will survive

    rashes and families wont be torn

    part by these preventable

    ragedies, says DPS

    Commissioner Mona Dohman.

    Our challenge is to encourage

    hose who continue to put their

    ves at risk to buckle up.

    Seat belt use was 20 percent

    efore the states seat belt law

    ecame effective in 1986, and the

    ate has steadily climbed ever

    ince. Belt use was 74 percent a

    ecade ago.

    Seat Belt Use Survey (Recordedelt use of 11,000 motorists in 37

    ounties during two weeks in

    August.)

    Statewide seat belt use rate:

    92.7 percent. Belt use rate by vehicle type:

    Van 96 percent; Car 94; SUV

    92.5; Pickup 88. Pickup occu-

    pant belt use is historically low, but

    has improved (up from 81 percent

    five years ago).

    Belt use rate by gender:

    Females 95 percent; Males 90

    percent. This gap continues to

    close; the primary belt law has

    influenced more males to buckle

    up. Five years ago, female belt use

    was 92 percent and the male rate

    was 84.

    Belt use rate by age: 65 and

    older 96 percent; 3064 93;

    010 93; 1115 93; 1629

    92. Teen/young adult use continues

    to improve, up from 84 percent five

    years ago.

    Booster Seat Use Survey

    (Recorded booster seat use of 3,759

    children in 32 counties.)

    DPS measured booster seat use

    for the first time. Boosters are

    required by law in Minnesota and

    help adult seat belts fit children

    correctly. Boosters are for children

    once they have outgrown a for-

    ward-facing harnessed restraint

    (typically age 4 and 4060 pounds,

    depending on seats weight and

    height limitations). Children

    should remain in a booster until

    they are 4 feet 9 inches tall.

    Children properly restrained

    in a booster seat: 64 percent.

    Female caregivers more like-

    ly than males to put children in

    boosters.

    Lowest booster seat use

    among caregivers ages 1629 (50

    percent).

    If the driver was not belted,

    then only 27 percent of the children

    were in a booster.

    The survey also reported 4.7

    percent of drivers were using a

    hand-held phone while driving,

    translating to more than 17,000

    drivers dialing and driving at a

    given time on Minnesota roads.

    Department of

    Corrections pilots

    messaging program

    for offendersThe Minnesota Department of

    Corrections (DOC) is piloting asecure web-based messaging sys-

    tem for offenders at the Oak Park

    Heights (OPH) and Shakopee pris-

    ons.

    The 6-month pilot program will

    allow family and friends to send

    messages to offenders through a

    secure website hosted by Advanced

    Technologies Group. The message

    is sent from this site and delivered

    to the offender in paper form. The

    system is one way, so the offender

    must write back using a written

    letter and the mail system.

    Weve had instances where peo-

    ple have coated letters with drugs,

    said Mike Green discipline/mailroom supervisor at OPH. Theyve

    employed many ingenious means

    to introduce contraband and coded

    messages into the prison. This sys-

    tem will be much more secure.

    The system is already used in

    the Federal Bureau of Prisons and

    several state corrections depart-

    ments.

    Using a web-based system has a

    number of advantages. It reduces

    incoming mail which significantly

    lowers contraband introduced into

    the facilities and allows for better

    surveillance and monitoring of

    offender correspondence.

    Those wishing to send an offend-er a message, pay 30 per message

    which is less expensive and faster

    than sending a letter.

    To begin using the system, fami-

    ly and friends of offenders should

    go to www.corrlinks.com and estab-

    lish an account.

    Following the 6-month pilot

    project, the DOC will evaluate the

    success of the program and deter-

    mine if it is a good fit for all

    Minnesota Correctional Facilities.

    HAPPENINGSThe Browerville Blade, Page 2 Thursday, October 27, 2011

    The first ever Oktoberfest was held on October 12th 1810 and was organized for the

    public commemoration of the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I)

    and Princess Therese.

    Approximately 6 million people attend the festival each year, and it is growing every

    year. In addition, thousands celebrate the event elsewhere.

    Wies'n, the local name for Oktoberfest, is derived from Theresienwiese, the name of the field onwhich the festival is held. The name of the field is as old as the festival.

    On average a 1 liter beer at the festival, known as a stein, will cost 8.50 Euros (approximately $12).

    Today the biggest icon of the event is beer. But Beer was introduced to the festival only in 1880. This

    was also the first year a bratwurst producer was invited to the festival to provide food.

    The beers that the Munich breweries produce specially for Oktoberfest contain 4.5 percent alcohol.

    The largest official Oktoberfest celebration in the United States is held in Cincinnati, Ohio, and

    boasts over half a million visitors to their celebration every year.

    2010 was the 200th anniversary of Oktoberfest. A horse race in historical costumes was held on the

    opening day, to remember the beginning and to commemorate the event.

    "Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you

    that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza."

    I havent made this yet, but plan to this week. October is almost

    over, but there is still time for an Octoberfest meal. This sounds

    like just the ticket for a nice German supper, and all on a pizza

    crust. I have found lots of different ways to dress up a pizza crust

    lately, and so far have loved them all. Note: the recipe said to be

    sure and not omit the caraway seeds, they make the pizza. I have

    a recipe for Reuben pizza that also calls for caraway seed, and

    they are right--it wouldnt be the same without them.

    The days are getting shorter

    nd the temperatures are just

    eginning to cool. I should be in

    he mood to go bow hunting.

    When temperatures are warm

    uring the day and dont get

    ery cool at night, deer move to

    eed only during the wee hours

    f the morning. The decreasing

    umber of daylight hours caus-

    s the deer to grow their winter

    oats. If it isnt cold and theyrewalking around with enough

    air to protect them from a bliz-

    ard, it has to be miserable. I

    would sleep all day too if I had

    o go out bundled up for winter

    weather.

    I knew the deer wouldnt be

    moving, so I was sitting on the

    ront porch watching the sun

    ome up Sunday morning,

    ather than being in the timber

    ke a respectable outdoors

    writer should be.

    The front porch is the perfect

    lace to watch the lake and

    where the timber meets the

    pen prairie. At dawn, the ani-

    mals that rule the night give

    way to those that revel in the

    light. Coyotes and owls that

    echo their calls down the valley

    become silent and crows, geese,

    and turkeys start their daytime

    ritual. I am never bored by

    watching and listening to this

    transition and am sometimes

    quite surprised.

    Such was the case Sunday

    when out of the timber break in

    the valley came four trumpeter

    swans. The huge and beautiful

    birds flew just above the dam

    and landed in the lake in front

    of me. My wife was attempting

    to sleep in, but the arrival of

    trumpeters is no time to sleep. I

    woke her up and we both went

    out to marvel at giant white

    swans. They appeared to be a

    family of four, a male, female,

    and two juvenile cygnets. The

    cygnets are almost as large as

    the parents but are more gray

    in color rather than pure white.

    One adult had a red collar but

    the numbers are worn to the

    point of being difficult to read. If

    read from the head down, I

    think it is 618. If the numbers

    are to be read the other direc-

    tion, it would be 819. Im hoping

    one of my readers will be able to

    tell me about this swan. If so,

    email me at [email protected].

    We watched them glide

    gracefully across the lake while

    we enjoyed our morning coffee.

    A person can be forgiven for

    waking up their wife on Sunday

    morning if its to watch swans.

    Sunday afternoon is the time

    to check the trail cameras. Its a

    pleasant outing, driving around

    the woods in the Gator and give-

    ing the dogs a good long run.

    We traveled a couple of miles

    and the dogs were beginning to

    wear down. Going down the hill

    toward Twin Sluices, as usual

    the Gator rattled and banged as

    we hit bumps. Leaves crunched

    and acorns popped while we

    rumbled down the trail. The

    dogs trotted ahead, casually

    checking the trail, but tired

    enough they didnt really want

    to hunt.

    To my left, I saw a flash of

    sunlight reflecting off some-

    thing light colored, not thirty

    yards off the trail. Before we

    passed a group of trees that

    blocked my view, I was able to

    focus enough to determine the

    flash was off a huge set of

    antlers. I slammed on the

    brakes and told my wife the get

    her camera out of the glove

    compartment. As she tells the

    story, I may have told her to get

    the camera twelve times in thir-

    ty seconds. Something about

    two dogs, screeching brakes and

    a guy yelling Get the camera!

    seemed to have spooked the

    deer. He bounded off before we

    could get photographic proof.

    Even without the picture, we

    could not ask for a better day.

    Its great when we can enjoy

    nature together. Some guys

    would be in trouble for waking

    their wives early on Sunday

    morning or yelling at them to

    get the camera. Im fortunate to

    have a wife that understands

    about the outdoors.

    By Walter Scott

    A good understanding

    Dear friends,

    Im home again after a few days in Duluth. We left last Wednesday to

    attend a Bible Conference that is held there each year. We took off at

    1 pm, leaving us plenty of time to stop at our friends house for supper

    and spend the first night of our trip; figuring this would leave us plenty

    of time as the first session didnt start until 6:30 pm. Well, between a

    very long detour because of roadwork on Hwy 210, near the intersection

    with Hwy 35, a bad traffic accident with many Cloquet Police vehicles,

    State Highway Patrol vehicles, ambulances, and a wrecker and tow truck

    on the scene, which slowed us down to a crawl for several miles, and then

    waiting at a train crossing with a train that made the ones that crawl

    through Staples look like speeding demons, we finally arrived at 5 pm.

    Im sure glad we started early!!!

    After a fantastic dinner of homemade chicken pot pie and a fabulous

    rhubarb cream cheese pie, we all headed over to the church for the begin-

    ning of the conference. It was great (it is every year, but this year really

    had a variety of subjects and speakers from all over.) Breakfast was fur-

    nished two mornings and lunch three days, so we had no lack of filling

    ourselves up on good food. We had dinner at our friends house a second

    night, went out for supper Friday and spent two nights at Kate and

    Gregs cabin with them, having a great breakfast (that I made) Saturday

    morning before heading back to Duluth. It was a very busy, informative,

    good time, and we came home Saturday afternoon totally exhausted. I

    was in bed by 7:30 pm--and slept until 8:30 am the next day, and took an

    hours nap in the afternoon. I headed for bed by 9:30 Sunday night too,

    but am back to my old self today, Monday.

    There was lots of work to catch up on Monday--as I expected. Taking

    a couple vacation days is great, but coming back is always git er done

    time. I usually am able to leave early Mondays when all the stuff I need

    to do is done by 1 pm or so, but this week I am working a few extra hours

    to get the paper finished. Oh well, thats ok, I will be taking a few more

    days off this week as I am having knee surgery on Wednesday.

    Im not looking forward to surgery, but as I have been in constant pain

    for the last five weeks or so, I am ready to have it done and get on the

    road to recovery. I plan to come to work a few hours on Friday, but will

    know more after Thursday. The Dr. said he didnt expect me to have

    much more pain than I am experiencing now, so should be able to be back

    at work quickly. I hate to use up vacation time recovering. On the other

    hand, spending time on the couch with a pillow under my leg, watching

    DVDs, reading, doing crossword puzzles, eating--hmmmm-kinda sounds

    like vacation after all. If I have good pain meds, I guess it wont be bad

    at all and I can just relax and enjoy myself.

    Limping out the door for the last time, I hope,

    Peggy

    Veterans History ProjectEach year the students in the Judicial Recording program at Anoka

    Technical College partner with the Library of Congress in a project

    that collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of

    American war veterans so that future generations may better under-

    stand the realities of war. This year will be the fourth year the college

    has participated in the Veterans History Project.

    On Saturday, November 12, 2011 volunteer students and working

    court reporters will be on campus between 1 and 4 p.m. to interview

    and record stories from veterans from World War II, The Korean War,

    The Vietnam War, The Afghanistan Conflict, Desert Storm, and The

    Iraqi War. Additionally, U.S. citizen civilians who were actively

    involved in supporting war efforts (such as war industry workers, USO

    workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etc.) are also invited to

    share their valuable stories.

    This free event brings American war veterans and citizens civilians

    together and ensures their sacrifices are not forgotten. Our hope is

    that many may be filled with the knowledge of how the United States

    of America became a great nation and why Americans have the privi-

    leges of freedom.

    Please encourage friends, family members, acquaintances to contact

    Deb Longley, CRI, the niece of a Korean War veteran, at Anoka

    Technical College (763)576-4848 [email protected] to share

    their story.

    50 of the 64 yard drive. Osakis took

    the kick-off and had a drive that

    consisted of two big runs. Arun for

    16 yards by Cody Rupert and one

    by Mitchell Herzog for 35 yards got

    Osakis deep into Tiger territory.

    Two plays later the game was tied

    at 7 - 7.

    The Tigers received the kick-off

    and after one play from scrimmage

    the score was 13 - 7 as Ben Dreher

    ran into a pile, spun out of a tackle,

    then out sprinted everyone 66

    yards for the TD (kick failed.) The

    Tiger defense was now fired up and

    played much better. A stop and

    punt and the Tigers were in busi-

    ness again. A long drive was stifled

    by a fumble on the 13 yard line.

    Again, the Tiger defense was

    stingy and forced a punt. The

    Tigers took advantage and put

    together a seven play scoring drive

    capped off by an 11 yard TD run for

    Dreher. The two-point run by

    Dreher was successful and the

    Tigers went to the bus at half

    ahead 21 - 7.

    The Tigers received the second

    half kick-off and had three runs of

    3, 4, and 3. On the next play

    Dreher went untouched for 59

    more yards and his fourth TD of

    the night. (Seth Kellens extra

    point kick was good) This is when

    Osakis started to win the line of

    scrimmage and have their way

    with the Tigers. The Silverstreaks

    went 60 yards on eight plays with

    runs of 20, 11, and 16. The

    Silverstreaks seemed to gain emo-

    tional momentum at this time. An

    onside kick recovery by offensive

    center Ryan Rickbeil gave the

    Tigers the ball at the 50 yard line.

    The Tigers offense put the game on

    their shoulders and pounded the

    ball down the field for a 50 yard

    TD. With Wollenburg and Kellen

    doing most of the dirty work this

    drive, the Tigers scored on a Kellen

    one yard QB sneak. Osakis wasnt

    done yet as they again tried an

    onside kick. This time Kyle

    Petermeier was able to recover the

    bouncing ball and the Tigers drovethe ball 50 yards to score on a 20

    yard dash up the middle by Dreher.

    (his fifth of the game.)

    I would like to clear the air on

    what seemed to take place the last

    few minutes of the game. A

    Browerville player was flagged for

    a 15 yard un-sportsman like penal-

    ty for excessive verbal confronta-

    tion. This player by no means or in

    any sort said anything to any of the

    Osakis players or coaches. This

    player was taken out of the game

    after the flag. What had happened

    was our player was trying to gain

    the attention of another player

    from Browerville. The referee tookthis as our player getting in the

    face of the Osakis players and he

    was not! Both our player and the

    Osakis coaches and players con-

    firmed this after the game. This

    was a very good high school football

    game played by two pretty darn

    good football teams and the

    emphasis should not have come

    down to the last few minutes of a

    very highly intense game by both

    teams. There were big plays made

    by both teams and the players were

    tackling and running with aggres-

    sion and passion. That is how the

    game should be played.

    The Tigers rushed for 379 yards.Mitchel Heid rushed for 15 yards,

    Trenton Wollenburg gained 75,

    Seth Kellen gained 60 (1 TD) and

    Ben Dreher gained 229 yards and

    five TD's.

    On defense we gave up 68 yards

    in the first and three yards rushing

    in the second. The second half was

    a little different as Osakis pileed

    up 95 yards and 82 yards in the

    third and fourth quarter.

    Tigers split two

    match upsBy Coach IrsfeldThe Browerville Tigers finished their regular season this past week as

    they hosted the Staples-Motley Cardinals Monday and traveled to

    Swanville on Tuesday to take on the Bulldogs.

    The Tigers beat the Cardinals 3-0 (25-14, 25-17, 26-24). The Tigers had

    a balanced attack against the Cardinals. Our blocks were big and a major-

    ity of the time we kept the floor free of dropped balls. We scrambled a bit

    in the third game but we were able to pull back together and finish it.

    Ludwig had 15 kills, 17 digs, and 7 big blocks. Kruzel led our diggers with

    19 as Makenna Hegseth added 17. Aksamit had 6 kills, Kruzel 5, and

    Haley Piotrowski 4. Katelyn Middendorf had 15 set assists as Teal Line

    had 14.

    The Tigers fell short on Tuesday as they were defeated by the Bulldogs

    0-3 (21-25, 23-25, 23-25). Swanville came out swinging (literally) and we

    found ourselves constantly on the defense. We needed to attack but we

    continually tipped or just kept the ball in play with non-aggressive

    attacks. It's frustrating watching a team that you know can play at a level

    above what they are performing at . We just were not connecting.

    Swanville played well and deserved the victory. Aksamit and Ludwig each

    had 9 kills and 5 blocks. Kruzel had 7 kills. Middendorf had 11 set assists

    as Line had 10. Kruzel and Hegseth each had 19 digs as Ludwig had 16.

    On Monday we honored our four seniors, Rachel Perish, Abby Aksamit,

    Brianna Ludwig,and Megan Kruzel, as it was their last regular season

    match at home. A special thank you to these four seniors for their time,

    effort, and dedication to our program.

    The Tigers will begin play-offs this Thursday or Friday, depending on

    where they are seeded. Go Tigers!
