1 rock, 4 country stars coming to fair By sam Wilmes
sam.wilmes@albertleatribune.com
A
number of well-known performers will be featured at the Grandstand this year at the Freeborn County
Fair. What’s coined as the “Six Best Days of Summer” will kick off Aug. 2 and last through Aug. 8, with four country acts and one rock performer.
LOCASH, Aug. 2 With hit singles such as “I Know Somebody,” and inspiration from multiple genres, LOCASH will be the opening act of the fair. The Nashville-based duo of Preston Brust and Chris Lucas recently signed with Reviver Records. “We haven’t felt an energy like this since the day we began our journey,” Brust said in an interview on his website. “This feels like it has all come together — the right label head, the right promo team. It finally feels like we’ve got all of our ducks in a row for the first time in our lives. We’ve been out there doing the grass roots thing for so long, and to feel it all come together is so encouraging.” The duo’s single “I Love This Life,” topped The Country Billboard Chart at No.2 in 2015. The duo cites influences from gospel to rock and roll bands such as Motley
Crue and Quiet Riot. The group released a statement on its website: “We’ve been doing this for 10 years now, and I sort of feel like we have grown up a little bit in the business. We’ve matured in the business and learned how it all works. We just wanted to simplify things and get down to the roots of what we are all about.”
Chris Janson, Aug. 3 With hits such as “Buy Me a Boat,” “Power of Positive Drinkin,” “Under the Sun” and “Holding Her,” Nashville-based country music artist Chris Janson will perform the second night of the fair. Janson performed at the Tree Town Festival in Forest City at the end of May. The Perryville, Missouri, native has toured across the country with artists like Toby Keith, Blake Shelton and Lee Brice.
Jerrod Niemann, Aug. 4 Country music artist Jerrod Niemann will perform Thursday night. Niemann — whose breakout album was “Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury” in 2010 — has released a number of popular singles, such as “Lover, Lover,” “What Do You Want,” “One More Drinkin’ Song” and other hits. On his website, Niemann said his career has been a journey. “On my first two albums, I tried to

cover all the music I enjoy,” he said. “This time, we mashed it all together, and that’s what you do when you’re really attempting to create your own sound. And as it all gelled, I think it brought us into our own pure sound for the first time.” Niemann has also written songs for and with artists such as Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton and Lee Brice. He returned in 2012 with the album, “Free the Music,” and has continued playing 200 shows a year on the road.
Ted Nugent, Aug. 5 Rock musician Ted Nugent will perform Friday night. Nugent has drawn both acclaim and anger for his political views. He is known for hits such as “Stranglehold,” “Cat Scratch Fever” and “Free for All.” Though the Freeborn County Fair Board’s decision to have Nugent perform has drawn controversy, see fair, Page 29

Community Theatre group to perform ‘Wizard of Oz’ By Kelly Wassenberg
kelly.wassenberg@albertleatribune.com
The yellow brick road will lead to the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center in July. Albert Lea Community Theatre will perform “The Wizard of Oz” at 7:30 p.m. July 14 through July 16 and at 7:30 p.m. July 20 through July 23. In addition, there will be two matinee performances. The matinees are at 2 p.m. on July 17 and July 23. The classic musical was written by L. Frank Baum and will be directed by Steven Kinney. Staying true to the 1939 motion picture it is based upon, audiences will find Dorothy making the long journey from Kansas to the Land of Oz. Adventure awaits as she travels down the yellow brick road and is joined by a few traveling companions — Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. Toto will make an appearance, as well. Enjoy familiar songs, including “Over the Rainbow,” “If I Only Had a Brain” and “The Merry Old Land of Oz.” Other performances at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center this summer include Richie Lee & the Fabulous 50s, the Concord Singers, a tribute to Linda Ronstadt, Roy Orbison and Gene Pitney. Neil Lang, manager of the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center, said there will also be shows on Sept. 3 and Sept. 9. Those performers will be announced when they are confirmed. The Marion Ross Performing Arts Center is at 147 N. Broadway.

Albert Lea Floats celebrates local lakes with day of activities By Colleen Harrison
colleen.harrison@albertleatribune.com
After its initial launch two years ago, Albert Lea Floats will return again this year as it looks to be an annual tradition. The event is slated for Aug. 13. Albert Lea Floats celebrates the lakes in the area and started in 2014 when the Albert Lea Lakes Foundation celebrated being named Best Lake in Minnesota by Anheuser-Busch. Michelob Draft Golden Light, an Anheuser-Busch product, made a new boat launch possible on the lake through a $50,000 grant. The groundbreaking on the new boat launch, named Golden Point Launch, took place in May 2014 with a ribbon-cutting event. The project incorporated shoreline restoration and was completed in late summer 2014. A permanent kayak and canoe rental station was constructed at the same site last summer. The permanent rental station was also made possible through part of the Michelob Draft Golden Light grant, as well as area businesses and community members donating time, money and resources. Albert Lea Lake was the first lake chosen in the nation for the Celebrate
Your Lake grant through an online contest, promoted locally by Krieger Beverage. After finding out they were selected for the grant, local officials considered six locations for the launch site. Sixtyone percent of people participating in a survey launched by the Lakes Foundation identified it as their top site. The Golden Point Launch is along the shoreline of Frank Hall Park between the Department of Natural Resources fishing pier and the Pelican Breeze boat dock. Albert Lea Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Susie Petersen said now Albert Lea Floats will become an annual meeting celebration of what’s going on with the local lakes, with this being the third consecutive year the event will take place. Many of the same activities as last year’s celebration will return, said Petersen, including water sports and activities for children, along with food vendors. Kayak and canoe rentals will be free of charge during the celebration. Petersen said the foundation hopes to get Anheuser-Busch involved with the festivities again, and is looking to possibly have Pelican Breeze offer a boat ride, as well. “It should be a good day,” she said.
Canoes, kayaks and paddleboards will be open for use free of charge on Aug. 13 during Albert Lea Floats. The event celebrates the lakes in the area. saRah stUltz/ albERt lEa tRIbUNE

This summer, the Bayside Ski Team will have a “Lip Sink Battle” theme for its shows on Edgewater Bay along the shore of Edgewater Park. According to Bayside Ski Team Show Director Todd Berglund, the theme is fashioned after the TV show “Lip Sync Battle.” He said there will be onshore lip syncing battles in between water ski action, and participants will compete for the winner’s trophy each week, as do contestants on the TV show. Bayside Ski Team President Kory Newman said water ski practices started the week of June 8, and are on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Regular season shows are at 7 p.m. every Thursday starting June 23 through the team’s Labor Day show. There will also be a show on the Fourth of July. The Fourth of July and Labor Day shows start at 2 p.m. The home shows take place at Edgewater Park and are free to attend. The club does pass around a hat for donations to help offset expenses.

golf tournamentS galore Slated By Jarrod Peterson
jarrod.peterson@albertleatribune.com
A slate of tournaments for golfers of all ages are offered by Green Lea Golf Course and Wedgewood Cove Golf Club.
green lea golf Course
There will be a number of things happening at Green Lea Golf Course this summer starting in June. On June 11, the fifth annual Daybreakers Kiwanis Golf Klassic will take place with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. The cost is $50 per person and includes 18 holes of golf, a barbecue buffet and other prizes. The first 40 people to register will receive a gift bag. If you aren’t interested in golf, but love to eat, $10 will get you into the buffet, which will start at 5:30 p.m. The 11th annual Corey Goodnature Memorial Scholarship Golf Classic will take place at 1 p.m. June 25. Registration and a silent auction will take place at 11 a.m., and the opening ceremonies will start at around 12:30 p.m., with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Proceeds go toward the Corey Goodnature Memorial Scholarship Fund. Goodnature was a Chinook pilot in Unit B3160 of the U.S. Army and a graduate of Albert Lea High School. On June 28, 2005, he died in a crash on a mission to save a team of Navy SEALS under heavy fire in the mountains of Afghanistan. On Aug. 27, Green Lea will host the Albert Lea Hockey Open. Over the past few years, the tournament has seen a steep increase in participation. The money raised goes to the Albert Lea Hockey Association and the Blue Line Club. From Sept. 3 through 5, Green Lea will hold the 89th annual Shortstop Tournament that will feature an 18-hole qualifying round on the first day, followed by two days of match play. After Albert Lea Country Club was shut down in 2006, Green Lea took over hosting the Shortstop Tournament, which is the second-longest running match-play tournament in Minnesota. The Shortstop Tournament will feature back-toback winner Brent Miller, who won in 2014 and 2015.
Wedgewood Cove golf Club
Wedgewood Golf Club will host the Albert Lea High School Hall of Fame Tournament at 9 a.m. July 9. It will host the 41st annual Sparky Dan Kruse Memorial Golf Classic that supports people with disabilities at 12:30 p.m. July 11. The 53rd Chamber Ambassador Golf Outing is slated for July 18, starting at 12:30 p.m. A portion of the proceeds from the Chamber Ambassador Golf Outing go toward scholarships for Freeborn County students. Area businesses contribute by playing golf, sponsoring all 18 holes and donating food, refreshments, gifts, goodie bags and raffle prizes. The following day is the Mrs. Gerry’s Junior Golf Tournament starting at 9 a.m.

County parks offer recreation, picnic areas and other amenities by tim engstrom
news@albertleatribune.com
Freeborn County presently has four areas designated as parks with various facilities which can serve as interesting destinations for area citizens. Arrowhead Point County Park is located 1 1/2 miles south of Freeborn to the west of County Road 8. This 59-acre park gets its name from a point or peninsula which projects out into Freeborn Lake. At one time, what’s now the park area was the location of several privately owned cabins used by waterfowl hunters. Facilities listed for Arrowhead Point County Park consist of a picnic area, cross country skiing, boat launch area, restrooms, horseshoe pits, hiking/ biking trails, fishing and a shelter house. Pickerel Lake County Park is located about a mile southwest of Albert Lea on U.S. Highway 69. This 15-acre park consists of both shoreline and a small knoll which overlooks what has been called a
typical prairie lake. Facilities listed for Pickerel Lake County Park consist of a picnic area, boat launching area, restrooms, fishing and a shelter house. St. Nicholas County Park is on County Road 19 (South Shore Drive), approximately 3 1/2 miles southeast of Albert Lea. This 13-acre park is on the south side of Albert Lea Lake near the location of a pioneer village once named St. Nicholas. Facilities at this park are limited to a picnic area and a small shelter structure. Nearby is a boat launching area which is maintained by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. White Woods Nature Park is a mile south of Twin Lakes and just to the west of U.S. Highway 69. This 176-acre park was once a farm place which has now been allowed to revert back to a natural woodland-and small prairie locale. Facilities listed for White Woods Nature Park consist of a picnic area, cross-country skiing trail, restrooms, horseshoe pits, hiking/hiking trails and a shelter house.

RAIN BARRELS
People looking for a way to save money on their utility bill can purchase a rain barrel from Shell Rock River Watershed District for
$67.45
WHY USE RAIN BARRELS? Rain barrels are an
efficient, convenient way of trapping the runoff from your roof and storing it in a 55-gallon barrel. Each barrel comes with a spigot on the bottom and overflow hose to hook up multiple barrels. They hold roughly up to 55 gallons of rainwater, for distributing water around your yard. Diverting water from storm drains also decreases the effect of runoff on the watershed’s rivers and streams.
Residents of the Shell Rock River Watershed District are eligible for a $10 Rebate. Rebate forms are available at the SRRWD office - 214 West Main St., Albert Lea. For more information: 507.377.5785 or www.shellrock.org
for more information you can phone: 507-377-5785

Art & Garden Tour to combine the beauty of art and gardens By Kelly Wassenberg
kelly.wassenberg@albertleatribune.com
The beauty of art and gardens will collide during the upcoming Art and Garden Tour July 15 and 16. According to the tour’s coordinator, Donna Widenhoefer, she has six gardens lined up for this year’s tour and is now looking for artists to showcase their work at each home. Art could vary from water color paintings to sculptures — it all depends on the artist’s specialty. The tour, which is an Albert Lea Art Center event, will be from 4 to 7:30 p.m. July 15 and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 16. Gardens in this year’s tour will include the gardens of Michael and Pam Pleiss, Richard and Lori Walther and Doug and Patty Christopherson, all of Albert Lea; LeRoyce and Lou Jean Inham and Nick and Jeanne Schermer, both of Hayward; and Ed and Gwen Rice of Ellendale. The tours are self-guided, allowing participants to enjoy each garden at their own leisure. Visitors need only purchase a $10 ticket from the Albert Lea Convention and Visitor’s Bureau to receive a map featuring the locations of each garden. They can visit the gardens in whichever order they choose during the scheduled times of the tour and are encouraged to take pictures or notes. Both the hosts and artists are usually available at the home during the tour answer questions about their garden or artwork, as well.

Truesdell tournament remembers ALHS grad and baseball player by Jarrod Peterson
jarrod.peterson@albertleatribune.com
The ninth annual Ryan “Pie” Truesdell Tournament will be Sept. 9 and 10. While it’s the technically the 10th year of the tournament since Truesdell’s passing, it will be the ninth one his dad, Scott Truesdell, has been involved. Ryan Truesdell’s high school baseball number was 9, so Scott Truesdell would like to make this tournament an extremely special one. “All of these tournaments have been special, but since this is the ninth one, we want to do something very big,” Scott Truesdell said. Plans have not been unveiled yet, but this year’s tournament expects to be bigger than ever. In 2015, The Future, from St. Paul, won the tournament and they will be back to defend their title. “The tournament seems to get bigger and better every year,” Scott Truesdell said. “In the beginning, Ryan’s friends would win the tournament. But because it
has gotten so big, we have teams coming from all over to come play. It’s been a lot of work, but it has also been a lot of fun.” The tournament raised $3,500 last year, and since its inauguration, the Ryan “Pie” Truesdell Tournament has raised over $18,000. Money raised goes to the Ryan Truesdell Memorial Fun, which donated money that went toward a scoreboard for the Albert Lea Grizzlies football team and to the Albert Lea High School baseball booster club for new jerseys, among other things. Ryan Truesdell, a 2005 graduate of ALHS, was a two-time Big Nine All-Conference catcher, and he was a co-captain on the Tigers baseball team. He went on to play baseball at Rochester Technical and Community College where he played a variety of positions including catcher, pitcher and center field. About a month after Ryan’s death, his friends held the first Truesdell softball tournament. Ryan Truesdell died in 2007 in a grain elevator accident at Glenville Grain.

Albert Lea and the surrounding areas in southern Minnesota are filled with places to fish. Here’s a description of some of the area lakes. • Albert Lea Lake: This lake has 24 miles of shoreline and its deepest spot is six feet. It has a few accesses. One is at Frank Hall Park in Albert Lea and features a pier and a boat lunch. Another with a dock and a boat launch is at a place along South Shore Drive called St. Nicholas, a former town. A third fishing spot is at the bridge over Shell Rock River on the south shore. The lake has gained a reputation for walleye and has even been featured on a TV fishing show. The lake is full of bass, crappie, sunfish and channel cats. • Clear Lake: This lake in Clear Lake, Iowa, has an average depth of 19 feet. A dredging in 2009 has improved the general health of the lake. Walleye, yellow bass, channel catfish and bullhead can be found in the lake. • Fountain Lake: Boats can access this lake at Brookside Park or along state Highway 13 on Edgewater Bay. Popular spots along the shore are a fishing pier at Edgewater Park, the
bridge by Dane Bay, the Hatch Bridge, the dam on Bridge Avenue and Katherine Island. Catfish are found in deep water near woods, and pan fish can be found throughout the lake. Walleye exist in deeper holes and points in the lake. • Freeborn Lake: This lake is fished from Arrowhead Point, a peninsula extending from the east side that almost divides the lake in half, or from the dam on the west side or from a dock at Freeborn. There is boat access at Arrowhead Point County Park. The lake has yellow bass, sunfish and smallmouth bass. • Geneva Lake: This shallow lake is good to fish in the morning. Many fishermen like to fish near the new dam on the southeast side. It has been stocked in recent years with northern pike and yellow perch. There also are several good fishing spots along Turtle Creek to the east. • Pickerel Lake: This lake was recently stocked with northern pike by the Department of Natural Resources and also has pan fish. Boat access and a county park are on the east shore along U.S. Highway 69. • St. Olaf Lake: This lake is near New Richland and has one access point with a beach. It is full of crappie, sunfish, northern and bass.

Freeborn County Relay for Life raises money to find an end to cancer By Colleen Harrison
colleen.harrison@albertleatribune.com
The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life will be July 29 at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds in Albert Lea. According to the event’s website, Relay For Life is the world’s largest fundraising event to end cancer and has the most impact. The event starts at 6 p.m. with an opening ceremony. The opening ceremony is meant to bring everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to inspire hope by sharing recent accomplishments and progress, and to remind everyone that fighting cancer is a year-round priority, according to the American Cancer Society. A survivors lap and then a caregivers lap will follow the opening ceremony. During the survivors lap, upbeat
music plays as all cancer survivors at the event take the first lap around the track cheered on by the other participants who line the track, celebrating their victory over cancer. During the caregivers lap, anyone who ever cared for someone with cancer walks a lap so they can be honored for their support. Caregivers walk the lap with the people they helped if they are also present at the event. Next is a luminaria ceremony that honors people who currently have cancer, those who have fought it in the past and those who’s lives have been lost because of it. The closing ceremony will finish off the event. Closing ceremonies at the event are meant to remember the lives of those lost and to celebrate that each of the event’s participants have committed to fight back against the disease over the next year.

The eighth annual Shinefest Tractor Ride is July 16 and will raise money for the Shinefest week of service. The day begins with breakfast that features Denny Brue’s pancakes at Freeborn County Fairgrounds. A caravan of approximately 100 tractors will leave the fairgrounds at 9 a.m. The caravan will travel to Oak Park Place, then Thorne Crest Senior Living Community and St. John’s Lutheran Community, before traveling to Good Samaritan Society of Albert Lea and Crossroads Church for their first coffee break. The group then travels to Oakland Lutheran Church for a light lunch and to Community Lutheran Church in Geneva for a coffee break, then to First Bap-
tist Church in Clarks Grove for another coffee break, before arriving back at the fairgrounds for supper between 5 to 5:30 p.m. Tractor rides are $35 — the cost covers the ride and dinner. Participants must provide their own tractor. Organizer Dale Grotsun advised anyone interested in participating to sign up before July 1 — when the cost rises to $40 — to make the event easier to plan. The event runs two classes of tractors — one that drives 14 mph and another at 10 mph. Anyone with a valid driver’s license is welcome to join. Grotsun said riders have come from Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. Anyone interested in participating is advised to contact Grotsun at 507-3832766, Nordine Krueger at 507-383-8844 or Mark Light at 507-402-0794.

FAIR Continued from Page 4
Mike Woitas with the fair board said he will still perform and expects his performance to draw a record crowd. Nugent has released dozens of albums in his career that spans more than five decades. Although Nugent is 68, he still tours across the country in such places as Phoneix, Arizona; Pasadena, California; and Las Vegas.
The Charlie Daniels Band, Aug. 6 Seen as a symbol of Southern culture, The Charlie Daniels Band will be the final performer of this year’s fair. The 80-year-old rock, country, bluegrass, blues and gospel artist is known for his 1979 chart-topping single “The Devil Went Down To Georgia.” Daniels is an accomplished guitar, fiddle and mandolin player with other anthems such as “Long Haired Country Boy” and “The South’s Gonna Do it,” which lifted his 1975 collection “Fire On the Mountain” to double platinum status. Following stints with Capitol and Kama Sutra, Epic Records signed Daniels to a reported $3 million contract, the largest ever given to a Nashville act to that point, according to his website. Daniels on his website said through his music he has always tried to be himself. “I used to say, I’m not an outlaw; I’m an outcast,” he said. “When it gets right down to the nitty gritty, I’ve just tried to be who I am. I’ve never followed trends or fads. I couldn’t even if I tried. I can’t be them; I can’t be anybody but me.”
What’s new this year at the Freeborn Co. Fair?
Nothing cleans like steam.
By Sam Wilmes
sam.wilmes@albertleatribune.com
A new, family-friendly variety act will be featured this year at the Freeborn County Fair. Manager Norm Fredin said Farmers Barnyard Review is a stage variety act that will be featured three times a day, each day of the fair, at Kidzone — on the north end of the fairgrounds near the north pavilion. “It’s a show for all ages,” Fredin said. The two-person show includes agricultural information, farm safety tips, comedy, music, art, farm-themed magic and illusions. Other unique features of this year’s fair include: • A new video board will be available that will show concerts in the beer garden. • A forum is planned where Korean War veterans will be able to tell their stories. • There will hypnotists at the Fairlane Building, racing pigs every two hours from noon until 8 p.m. each day in the Kids Zone and racing for ducks and dogs at 1 p.m. Aug. 6 in the Kids Zone. Fredin said the goal of the fair board is to educate and entertain fairgoers, noting he hopes people can come, have fun, see neighbors and enjoy each show.

The excitement of the Fourth of July will kick off a day early with the annual Third of July Parade. The theme for the Albert Lea-Freeborn County Chamber of Commerce sponsored parade is “Let Freedom Ring.” Units for the parade will begin lining up at 5 p.m. at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds. The parade will then follow Bridge Avenue to Fountain Street and ends at Central Park. Some will get to enjoy a three-day weekend, as the Fourth of July falls on a Monday this year. Ways to spend the day include visiting a car show from 2 to 6 p.m. in downtown Albert Lea. The show is sponsored by the Old Car Co., American Legion Post 56 and the Albert Lea-Freeborn County Chamber of Commerce, among others. Those who prefer the water over dry land can visit the Fourth of July performance of the Bayside Ski Show, which will be from 2 to 3 p.m. at Edgewater Park. There will be a Community Band concert from 8 to 9 p.m. at the gazebo at Fountain Lake Park. The public is invited

Drag racing boat competition draws racers from many states By Colleen Harrison

The Upper Midwest Power Boat Association will be drag racing boats for the fourth year in a row in Albert Lea this summer. Six different boat classes, ranging from speeds of 60 to 120 mph, will race each other during the 1,000-foot drag racing event. UMPBA President Scott Kalash said there were about 30 boats that raced last year, most of which were from Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Nebraska. He said that there are sometimes participants from both North and South Dakota, but that they haven’t competed in the most recent races. Kalash said participation in the event is not limited to just UMPBA members and that anyone that meets the safety requirements and has a boat that fits into one of the classes can compete. Those

interested in possibly participating can email Kalash at autoworks1@peoplepc. com. According to Kalash, most of the boats that participate in the show are outboard boats, with some others being jet drives or V-drives. He said that a lot of people tend to like the V-drives — as their carlike engines make for some loud noise during the races — and the jet drives — which tend to make waves and splash more water. Either way, Kalash said all of the boats that enter make for a good show. UMPBA will have its Albert Lea races starting at 10 a.m. Sept. 24 in Edgewater Bay, in about the same area where the Bayside Ski Team performs. Spectators can watch from the newer pavilion and beach area. There’s no cost to watch the event, and food and other concessions will be for sale from various vendors. “If you like racing, you’ll like this,” said Kalash. “It’s pretty fun.”

Children’s games and activities such as face painting, a ring toss, inflatable jumpers and bingo will be available, among others in Glenville Park. Diesel Drive will perform during a street dance later that night on the Main Street stage. The street dance tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the gate.

Hartland Harvest Days will not be taking place this year, as it hasn’t the last four years. Hartland was named for Hartland in Windsor County, Vermont, from where some of the early settlers came in spring 1857. The name was the suggestion of the first postmaster. The original site was a mile south of its present site.
The city moved when the Chicago & North Western Railway track was laid running northwest out of Albert Lea. A new Hartland post office was established in 1868. The city was platted in 1877 and was incorporated on Aug. 31, 1893. Today, that railroad stops in Hartland. To the south, the line is abandoned to Albert Lea and plans are in the works for Freeborn County to purchase the corridor and make it a bike trail.
Freeborn happenings posted online By albert Lea Tribune
While Freeborn doesn’t have any community events planned for this summer, it is still maintaining its website to keep locals up to date. The city of Freeborn launched a website — www.cityoffreebornmn.com — last year to keep residents updated on
events, city council minutes and a water improvement project, among others. Freeborn recently finished merging its water treatment system with Hartland in the last year. Residents and visitors can find updates on the transition on the website. The new treatment facility is in Hartland with Freeborn connected through distribution lines between the two communities.

Manchester named after Illinois town By Tim engstrom
news@albertleatribune.com
This small community with less than 100 residents is about six miles north of Albert Lea on Minnesota Highway 13. There is no summer festival in Manchester. The Bend in the Road bar was popular in the summer for its volleyball and horseshoe league, but it has been closed since June 2013. There is a softball diamond and a play park. The town has one church, Manchester Lutheran Church. Manchester was named after a town in Illinois and was originally platted in 1882, then platted again and surveyed in 1898. The city incorporated in 1947. A tornado struck it in 1952, destroying many homes and businesses. The city received its name from a community in Illinois. The children in Manchester attend schools in Albert Lea.

Protect your family during summer fun Summer is the perfect time for outdoor recreational activities, from ballpark tailgates and camping trips to backyard barbecues or simply hosting a party outside. Portable generators can be used to make these activities even more enjoyable, but their exhaust fumes can pose serious risks. So before you head out to enjoy a fun summer day, make sure you’re ready to protect your family from the potential dangers associated with portable generator use. Whether you’re planning outdoor fun for your backyard, a local park or the open wilderness, portable generators can take your outdoor recreation and summer fun to the next level. Portable generators make it possible to cook, use a cooling fan, play festive music, power a karaoke machine or even light up a string of twinkling lights to help set the stage for a great time. “Some of our most beloved summer traditions can be even more enjoyable with electricity

from a portable generator, but there are some notable risks,” said Susan Orenga, representative for the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association. “Proper handling and taking the appropriate safety precautions can help ensure that users fully appreciate the benefits of portable power.” The most serious risk comes from exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide, a gas you cannot smell, see or taste. Excess exposure can have fatal consequences for both people and animals. This summer, portable generators will be used for a variety of applications, providing a convenient, flexible energy source that is easily transportable. Taking proper safety precautions will help ensure you can enjoy the many benefits and capabilities of portable generator use without putting yourself or others in danger. Before you use a portable generator to power up your summer activities, keep these safety tips
from PGMA top of mind: • To avoid dangerous carbon monoxide accumulation, always “take it outside.” Never run a portable generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces, including garages, porches, campers or tents. • Always place a portable generator downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces, such as a campsite, tailgate or seating area. • If you feel sick, dizzy or weak while using your portable generator, get to fresh air immediately and call 911 for emergency medical attention. • Install a battery-operated carbon monoxide alarm according to manufacturer’s instructions. • Always refer to the generator’s owner manual for further information about safe operation and potential hazards.

The toocool-for-school Burger Palace Boys are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping, chainsmoking Pink Ladies are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the ’50s and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious, provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer, but now back in the context of school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated.

Oatmeal days festival a draw for many to Iowa community By albert Lea Tribune
As home to Malt-O-Meal and Grain Millers processing plants, St. Ansgar has plenty of reasons to celebrate oatmeal, which is exactly what it does every year during its annual Oatmeal Days Festival. This year the festival takes place on June 18 and will have events for participants of all ages. There will be a 5k color fun run/walk with registration beginning at 1 p.m. and the race beginning at 2 p.m. The route will start and end at City Park. It is $25 per person for those 17 and older. Participants 16 and under are only $15. In the past there has also been a bike race, cereal sale, beanbag tournaments, a pedal tractor pull, inflatables for children, and vendors and displays from home-based businesses. The evening typically concludes with the crowning of Miss St. Ansgar and a parade from the high school through downtown. St. Angar also hosts a July Herb Festival, which includes garden tours along with car and pedal tractor shows.
