Beaver Creek Valley State Park is a great place to stop by and visit any time of the year. During late April and early May when the wild flowers are in full bloom can be an intoxicating experience for one’s sense of smell and sight. In the top photo, spring flowers add some color to the scenery. Bottom left, tree fungi as large as serving platters, grew out of this tree trunk. At right, foam from Beaver Creek flowing over the spillway made for some interesting patterns.

‘Season is a little late’ local buyer reports
|
|
“Normally by this time, we’re starting to see some mushrooms coming in. May 1 seems to be the magic date. But because of the dry, cool weather, it’s going to be a little later this spring,” said Jason Wiebke of Wiebke Fur Company, Inc. of Eitzen. Wiebke Fur is one of the largest purchasers of wild morel mushrooms in the tri-state area. In an average year the Houston County-based company purchases about 3,500 pounds of the wild, delicious mushroom, which flourishes in the hardwoods of “The Driftless Area.”

Caledonia man charged with 15th DWI offense
|
James Donald Richmond, 58, of Caledonia, faces a gross misdemeanor charge with a maximum of one year in jail and/or $3,000 in fines after being charged April 27 in Houston County District Court with second-degree driving while intoxicated, second-degree refusal to submit to chemical test and possession of an open bottle.
This is the 15th time Richmond has been charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI).
A Houston County sheriff’s deputy stopped Richmond’s vehicle at 7:18 p.m. Friday, April 24 on CSAH 21 by Storer Valley Road because he was driving on the wrong side of the road, according to the complaint.
Richmond had his driver’s license revoked in 1977, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety in St. Paul.
According to published reports, Richmond had eight further drunken driving offensives, both in Minnesota and Wisconsin, from 1977 to 2005. His license then was reinstated in 2008 after he successfully completed the state’s requirements for rehabilitation.
A second arraignment will be May 6.
