SENIORS
Recreation with relish 
The game’s got a funny name, but pickleball has at least one supporter who is serious about getting Rosemount residents out and playing.

She sings for the love of it
After spending 15 minutes with Carol Opatrny, no one would believe her eager and continuous involvement in the Velvet Tones choir as anything less than sincere.

They help navigate complicated tax codes
Plenty of people would be happy to avoid doing their taxes every year, but Jim Peterson is a little different. He signs up to do extra.
For the past decade or so Peterson has volunteered with AARP’s senior tax assistance program. Since February 8 he’s spent each of his Monday mornings holed up in a room at the Rosemount Community Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. as seniors and low-income families lined up on chairs in the hallway, looking for someone who could help them make sense of tax forms.

Painting is just their excuse for getting together
The calendar for the Rosemount Area Seniors says there’s a watercolor group that meets Wednesday mornings at the group’s Do Drop Inn. And while the listing is accurate, it’s not exactly complete.

She found a home in Rosemount
Rosemount didn’t make a good first impression on Helen Judkins.
Judkins and her husband moved to Rosemount in August of 1954, when his job as a tinsmith brought him to Genz Ryan. They moved into a small home on what was then known as Maple Street, a dirt road just west of where Fluegel’s Elevator stands. There was no grass in the yard. It had been raining. The house was surrounded by mud. The refinery east of town was belching out fumes.

Girls basketball’s one-man booster club
There are a few things you can count on at a Rosemount High School girls basketball game. The court will always be 94 feet by 50 feet. The rim will always be 10 feet from the floor. And Forrest Krogh will probably be in the stands.

Built with his own two hands
Step into the yard of Marlin Rechtzigel’s east Rosemount home and take a look around. See the barn? The big one? Rechtzigel built that. And the house where Marlin and his wife raised their children? He built that, too.

He’s slowing down but he’s still giving back
Felix Kropelnicki doesn’t volunteer as much as he used to. He figures that’s OK. He’s 80 years old. And besides, he’s put his time in.
