News from Browerville's Past

25 Years Ago

November 14, 1996

According to Jim Steinmetz, he had no idea that the two men he gave a ride last Saturday evening to the Budget Inn in Long Prairie were anything but a couple of “nice, clean-cut guys.” And he had no way of knowing that they were wanted for questioning in a pair of burglaries at Tammy’s Bar and Grill in Hewitt and at Midway Gas and Bar located south of Long Prairie. Steinmetz said he met the pair at The Cafe in Browerville and because they were talking friendly with people there, he thought they knew them.

Todd/Wadena Healthy Connections, a collaboration of both county’s public health departments and hospitals, in conjunction with the American Cancer Society, recognized the Browerville Community Center which is designated as a “smoke-free zone” and also for promoting a healthy lifestyle. They hope to draw attention to “D” Day, a time for everyone to quit smoking for at least a day which is November 21. Pictured were Barb Beck, Browerville Clinic; Sev Blenkush, city administrator and Curt Bach, Lakewood Clinic administrator.
