I just really missed him. I wished he didn’t live 350 miles away and the boat became a constant reminder of the distance between us. If he were here, he’d come over to help work on it and fi x in one afternoon what I’d been trying to fi gure out for two months, and probably still have time to clean my gutters and invent some new kind of solar-powered ceiling fan out of toothpicks and Elmer’s glue. I’d be pissed at how easy it all was for him and probably make some snide comment about it. But secretly I’d be glad he was there. After our initial idea of lighting the boat on fi re and pushing it off the Highway 36 bridge was deemed inappropriate, Dan and I decided to buy another trolling motor and venture to the fl owage again the next evening.

We tiptoed up and C.L. SILL | THE SUN

I thought for sure one of us would run a hook in our fi nger or drop a rod in the water, but miraculously, Dan caught and released this northern without incident.

down the channel until dark, ready to capsize or fall overboard or get struck by lightning at any moment. But fi nally, at long last, no tragedy befell us. Not only that, but just as the sun set, a 35” northern T-boned Dan’s intruder and together we landed his personal best pike on the fl y.

I couldn’t wait to get home and call Dad. We were there on that lake in a cursed boat because for 30 years I’ve been chasing his shadow instead of running from it — trying in every way I can to be like him.

I knew he’d get a kick out of us fi nally getting some productive use out of the skiff, even though it’d also make him sad that he wasn’t there to do it with us.

I was proud that I’d put together a successful trip and was excited by the thought of a summer fi lled with fi shing new places. The curse had fi nally been lifted. Then as we loaded up to head home, I shut my tailgate on all three rods I’d brought and broke every one of them in half……

Just kidding — but I wouldn’t have been surprised if I had. <www.osceolasun.com> Delivering

A Milltown man has been charged with Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) fourth charge, in connection with a May 23 incident. If convicted, Troy L. Cowan, 59, is facing six years in prison and $10,000 in fi nes.

BY APRIL ZIEMER EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM

According to Probable Cause, a Polk County Deputy was dispatched to a one-vehicle crash outside of Milltown.

Upon arrival, the deputy could see the vehicle had traveled approximately 15-20 feet down an embankment. There were tracks through the ditch where the vehicle had gone forward and reversed several times to come out of the ditch onto the roadway.

Cowan identifi ed himself and allegedly told law enforcement he had gone into the ditch because he had been drinking too much. When asked what he had been drinking, he said beer. When asked about the quantity, he said, “Way too much.” When asked if he thought he was too intoxicated to drive, he said, “Yes.”

An assault that allegedly stemmed from an argument over Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) parts, resulted in one man being transported to Regions Hospital in St. Paul and another being transported to Polk County jail.

According to Probable Cause, Clayton resident Dustin Groehler, 29, has been charged with substantial battery and disorderly conduct in connection with a May 25 incident.
