The purpose of the meeting was
to update the residents on the
status of the paving project and
to listen to any new concerns or
questions.
A letter from one affected
property owner was read at
the meeting. It questioned the
assessment on his outlot since it
is not buildable. The owner received a waiver from the county
board allowing the construction
of a storage building with the
restriction it not be used as a
residence.
Two other owners questioned
why the pavement on the north
end of the project had to include
their parcel.
The couple was told the
pavement was extended to the
township line at the top of the
hill past their lot since it was a
logical ending point to prevent
erosion on the hill.
About two dozen residents
attended the meeting.
Cleary said he received three
phone calls on the subject with
two in support and one against.

Crabgrass Prevention in
Your Home Lawn
The annual harbinger of
spring has arrived…the spring
lawn care questions have begun
in earnest, specifically, when
to start treating for CRABGRASS!!! If you want to
preemptively strike out against
this menace, the following information should help in your
home lawn defense.
Crabgrass is a warm-season,
annual grass, which grows best
in the heat of mid-summer. It
overwinters as seed in your
lawn, and typically begins to
grow around Memorial Day,
when the soil temperature
reaches about 50 degrees. Crab
grass grows close to the ground
and is usually lighter in color
than desirable lawn grasses. If
you had crabgrass in your lawn
last fall, you probably have seed
waiting to sprout this spring.
The good news is that there
are several measures you can
take to prohibit crabgrass from
getting a hold in your lawn. A
healthy, relatively dense lawn
is your best prevention against
invasive, undesirable weeds.
Properly fertilizing and watering your lawn will help insure
an adequate supply of plant
nutrients and water for vigorous
grass growth.
• Adjust your mower height
to 2 ½ - 3 inches to provide
more shade at the soil surface.
Without adequate light, crabgrass seeds (and other lawn
weed seeds) will be less likely
to germinate.
• Mow frequently, removing
only 1/3 of the blade length
each time.
• Water consistently and thoroughly throughout the growing
season. Apply enough water to
bring the weekly total to one to
one and a half inches of rain
and irrigation water combined.
• Fertilize more heavily in fall
than spring.
• Aerate the lawn in early fall
as soon as temperatures cool, if
soil is compacted or clay-like.
• Apply a pre-emergent weed
killer.
Pre-emergent herbicides
come in either granular or
liquid form and kill crabgrass
seedlings as they germinate.
They act as an invisible shield
across the soil surface that
stops emerging crabgrass from
breaking through. Do not aerate
lawns once you have applied a
pre-emergent, and never use
a pre-emergent on lawns that
Anglers can support walleye
stocking by purchasing $5 walleye stamps that help the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources provide more places
to fish for walleye.
“You can buy a walleye stamp
any time of the year, even if you
already have a fishing license,”
said Neil Vanderbosch, DNR
fisheries program consultant.
“All the funds from walleye
stamps go toward the cost
of purchasing walleye from
private fish farms for stocking
into lakes.”
The overall walleye stocking effort ramps up each year
in April when fisheries staff
collect walleye eggs, fertilize
them and transport the eggs
to fish hatcheries around Minnesota. The eggs spend two to
three weeks incubating before
hatching into fry that are soon
released – two thirds into lakes
and one third into rearing ponds.
The fish in rearing ponds grow
into 4- to 6-inch fingerlings that
are stocked into lakes in the fall.
In addition to raising and
stocking walleye, the DNR
also buys walleye fingerlings
from private producers to be
stocked into lakes, and walleye stamp sales help pay for
these fish. Since 2009, funds
from the walleye stamp have
purchased over 40,000 pounds
of walleye fingerlings that
have been stocked in the fall,
all over the state. Walleye are
stocked in lakes that don’t have
naturally reproducing walleye
populations.
“Just about anywhere you
go in Minnesota, there’s a lake
fairly close by where you can
fish for walleye,” Vanderbosch
said. “To decide what lakes and
how many fish to stock, we
look at available habitat, prey
and past stocking success, and
make individual lake management plans that guide stocking
decisions.”
Anglers catch the lion’s share
of walleye from waters where
the fish reproduce naturally –
about 260 larger walleye lakes
and in large rivers. Because of
stocking, walleye can be found
in an additional 1,300 Minnesota lakes spread throughout
the state.
More information about habitat stamps can be found on the
stamp program page.

have been seeded. Apply preemergent from late April to late
May. Granular forms are easy
to apply with a spreader, and
are often mixed with an early
summer lawn fertilizer.

Charger baseball team gets victories over OTC and Hancock
The Brandon-Evansville
baseball team took to the road
April 20 to take on the OTC
Bulldogs in Battle Lake.
Neither team was able to
score in the first inning but the
Chargers broke the deadlock
with three runs in the top of
the second.
Keagan Schiele drove in
the first Charger run with a
bases-loaded RBI single. Jesse
Perleberg was then hit by a
pitch to force in a run. The final
run of the inning was scored
by Gaven Jacobson who was
plated on an infield grounder
by Marshall Riedel.
In the third inning Kevin
Campbell doubled and scored
an RBI single by Tanner Bitzan.
The Chargers put single runs
on the board in the fourth,
fifth and sixth innings on RBi
hits from Jake Hintermeister,
Schiele and Campbell.
“Today the guys seemed fo-
cused from the first pitch until
the final pitch of the game.
As a team, I felt we had many
good at bats and put the ball in
play. Defensively, both teams
played well despite the cooler
conditions and I was happy
with the quality start that we
received from Kevin Campbell
on the mound. Kevin is such a
great competitor and has been
very consistent for us in all of
his starts this year,” said B-E
Coach Brian Perleberg.
Schiele and Campbell each
finished with three hits while
Tanner Bitzan had two and
Riedel one.
Brody Rochell and Cole
Brandner each singled for the

going five innings with two hits
and one walk. Taking the loss

B-E’s Jake Hintermeister executed this bunt during the contest with Hancock.
Hancock Owls in a cold,
windy, rainy contest April 24
in Evansville.
The Owls took the early lead
with one run in the top of the
first stanza. Cody Greiner drove
in Andrew Shaw with a double
to center field.
In the bottom of the first the
Chargers evened the score when
Jake Hintermeister scored on
an RBI groundout by Gaven
Jacobson.
In the second stanza B-E
put three across with the help
of some walks and a single by
Schiele.
A bases-loaded walk to
Campbell forced in another run
for the Chargers in the fourth.
In the top of the sixth the Owls
used back-to-back walks and
singles by Shaw and Michael
Milander to close the gap to 5-3.
The Chargers then answered
with one run in the bottom of
the sixth for the final score of
the contest.
“Both teams had multiple
chances with runners in scoring
position, but failed to get that
timely hit when they needed
it. Pitchers for both teams
struggled with control today,
which might be due to the cool
wet conditions.
“I’m happy with how we ran
the bases today and was also
pleased to see us put at least
one runner in scoring position
in every inning. We definitely
put pressure on their defense,
but Hancock did a good job
of working out of some tough
situations. Some days it’s just
hard to finish those innings
that start out so promising and
today was one of those days.
But a win is a win, and in this
year’s very balanced Pheasant
Conference, we’ll take it!” said
Perleberg.
Hintermeister finished with
a triple for the Chargers while
Campbell had a double with
Riedel and Schiele also getting hits.
Campbell picked up the win
in the contest.
The Chargers are now 5-3
on the year. The team’s next
contest will be April 27 in
Evansville against C-G-B at
5 p.m.

“We played well in all facets

team contribute in some way.
Tonight, all but one of our
players got a hit or scored a
run, which is always great to
see, especially from some of
our younger players. I’m proud
of how Emily pitched and the
defense made great plays to
back her up,” said B-E Coach
Kasi Sieling.

Ashby-Brandon-Evansville
junior high track athletes finally
got to see how they stacked
up against kids their own age
when they traveled to Perham
on Tuesday, April 18.
“In junior high meets, athletes
usually only compete against
others in the same grade level,”
stated coach Jennifer Froemming, “it gives kids a chance
to see how competitive they are
against their peers and also try
some new events.”
Seventh grader Catherine
Koefod had a successful meet
and placed in all four of her
events. She won the 200m dash
(30.04), tied for third in the
100m hurdles (19.91), fourth
in the 100m dash (14.31), and
third in the long jump (10 feet 10
inches). Abby Kagnas placed
second in the high jump (4 feet
2 inches) and sixth in the long
jump (10 feet 5 inches). “Both
Catherine and Abby tried long
jump and hurdles today. I’m
proud of them for trying something new and then seeing some
success as a result,” commented
Froemming. Katrina Buccholz
placed third in the discus (49
feet 2 inches) and fourth in the
shot put (21 feet 8 inches). She
also tried the 100m dash (15.00)
and was eighth overall.
Seventh grader Derick Novotny sprinted his way into
first in the 100m dash (13.09)
and a second in the 200m dash
(26.63) , along with a second in
the high jump (4 feet 4 inches).
Abram Fossel placed fifth in the
300m hurdles (50.35).
Eighth grader Cade Carlson
had a pair of wins in the 100m
(12.02) and 300m dash (42.34).
In the long jump he placed second (15-10) and was also a leg in
the 400m relay that placed second (53.35) along with classmates Nathan Baumann, Nolan
Bitzan, and Kobe Reiland.
Baumann also brought home a
sixth in his debut 100m hurdle
race (19.38) and sixth in the
300m dash (45.34). Reiland
also high jumped and tied for
fourth with teammate Morgan
Storey (4 feet 4 inches) Jake
Rein tied for first in the high
jump (5 feet), fourth in the
300m dash (44.60) and was
fifth in the 100m dash (13.00).
Deklin Goeden was fifth in the
300m dash (44.84) and sixth
in shot put (28 feet 9 inches).
Michael Cochran found some
success in the throws with a
pair of seconds in the shot put
(32 feet 4.5 inches) and discus
(90 feet 5 inches).
“It was a cold, windy meet,”
said Froemming, “but it went
fast. All of the kids competed
in at least two events, so they
kept moving, competed hard,
and in most cases tried a new
event. It was a successful day
for everyone in junior high.”

Stories, songs of Civil War to be presented
It’s a great way to learn a
little history and be entertained
at the same time. “The Recent
Unpleasantness – Stories &
Songs of the Civil War” will
be performed at Alexandria
Area Arts Association (AAAA)
in May.
This story and song ensemble
production written and directed
by local storyteller, Paulette
Friday, is making a return visit
to the area. Having originally
performed the show in Alexandria and surrounding towns in
the spring and summer of 2015,
the troupe recently returned
from performances in Bagley
and Fosston MN. “I had received numerous requests to
offer it again in Alexandria, so
we are happy to do just that”
said Friday.
In 2016 Friday was the recipient of a Minnesota Legacy
Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
grant from Lake Region Arts
Council to produce “In Pursuit
of a Dream – Stories & Songs
of 19th Century Immigration”
which was performed to great
acclaim in Alexandria and surrounding towns.
“I seem to have hit on a combination that other people like
as much as I do, said Friday, and
that is combining storytelling
and music based on significant
historical events.” Friday conducts considerable research on
the music to find pieces that
are historically significant to
the time period, and writes
narratives and stories based on
historical fact.
The music in “The Recent
Unpleasantness” (a euphemism
of the day referring to the war)
includes important patriotic
pieces of the time, but perhaps
more importantly, includes
the music that was popular
around the home fires and the
campfires. The narratives are
chocked full of historical fact
and are crafted into engaging
and entertaining tales.
“I have the privilege of working with very talented local
musicians who really immerse
themselves into the music and

these stories and songs. The
realities, and the tragedies of
war, are clear and touching.”
The single performance will
be a 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May
9, at the Area Arts Theater.
Tickets are available by calling
the box office or going online.
A unique opportunity is being
made available to Discovery
Middle School’s 6th grade
class, as well as students from
St. Mary’s Catholic School and
Zion Lutheran School. They
have been invited to attend the
show’s dress rehearsal.

were also able to sing along with
the performers. I attended their
Civil War performance 2 years
ago, and when Paulette Friday
contacted me and asked if we
would like to attend their dress
rehearsal, we just had to jump
on this opportunity. Paulette
does a great job researching
primary and secondary sources
and putting it all together into
an entertaining performance.”
Andrew Joseph Backman of
Herman has been selected to
receive a $2,000.00 scholarship for the 2017-2018 academic year from the Minnesota
Telecom Alliance Foundation,
according to Dave Wolf, CEO/
General Manager, Gardonville
Cooperative Telephone Association. Andrew will be graduating from Herman-Norcross
Community School and plans
to attend the University of Minnesota. He is the son of Tim
and Marilyn Backman.
“My primary goal in life is
to become a Small Animal Soft
Tissue Veterinary Surgeon.
Throughout high school I have
obtained hundreds of hours
working at both Lake Region
Veterinary Center and Lake
Region Small Animal Center
as a veterinarian’s assistant. I
am enrolled at the University
of Minnesota in their Animal
Science program with a focus
in Pre-Veterinary Medicine.”
said Andrew in his scholarship
application.
In awarding the scholarship
to Andrew, Dave Wolf said,
“We’re happy to have this
chance to make an investment
in Andrew’s college education. Rural communities need
educated and talented young
people like Andrew to be our
leaders of the future. It makes us
all proud at Gardonville when
one of the statewide winners is
selected from our area.”
The Foundation is part of the
Minnesota Telecom Alliance,
a trade organization based in
St. Paul representing over 44
telephone companies and cooperatives in the state.

to make critical investments in
our state’s agriculture industry
and reform Minnesota’s buffer
law,” said Senator Westrom.
“For too long, farmers have
been burdened by government
bureaucracy and unnecessary
regulations. Our investments in
agriculture aim to bring value
to agriculture products and the
field, not more bureaucracy in
St. Paul.”
Passed earlier this month, the
bipartisan Senate Agriculture
Finance Bill invests $118 million in Minnesota’s agriculture

funding streams and reduces
wasteful spending in investing
$274.1 million in keeping our

Backer appointed to conference committee
Representative Jeff Backer
(R-Browns Valley) has been
appointed to the conference
committee for Senate File 780:
the Agriculture Omnibus Bill.
Backer joins four other House
conferees, as well as five Senate conferees, who will work in
the coming days to resolve the
differences between the House
and Senate versions of the bill.
“I am honored to have been
selected to serve on the Agriculture Omnibus Bill Confer-
ence Committee,” Backer said.
“Agriculture is so important for
west central Minnesota and I
look forward to the opportunity
to represent our district in this
unique capacity.”
After the conference committee report is passed, it will
head to the House and Senate to
be voted on. If passed by both
bodies, the report will then be
sent to the Governor for his final
consideration.
