State auditor stops in Brandon on township meeting day

Attending a meeting in the Brandon History Center March 10 were, left to right around the

table, Brandon Township Supervisor Dennis Lund, Brandon Township Treasurer Kathy

Zimmerman, Brandon City Clerk Deb Grommesh, Brandon Township Clerk Mike Cleary

and Minnesota State Auditor Julie Blaha. In the back is Alan Roebke of Informed TV.

Brandon Township Clerk

Mike Cleary received a call

from the Minnesota State

Auditor’s office March 9 ask-

ing if would be available for a

meeting with Minnesota State

Auditor Julie Blaha on March

10, township annual meeting

day in the state.

Cleary said he would and the

next day Blaha and her exter-

nal affairs coordinator Megan

Thrasher showed up about 10

a.m. to meet at the Brandon

History Center.

Also at the meeting were

township officers Supervisor

Dennis Lund and Treasurer

Kathy Zimmerman, Brandon

City Clerk Deb Grommesh and

Alan Roebke of Informed TV.

Blaha asked questions about

what was going on in Brandon

Township.

The annual meetings are

where townships set their levy

for the next year.

Blaha said townships across

the state strive to keep things

as even as possible without

too much of an increase even

though it has to be increased as

inflation rises.

Cleary said roads are the ma-

jor concern in the township. He

said the township has $25,000

in its road fund but spends

$130,000 on maintaining roads

each year.

When it comes to roads in

the township the supervisors

do some of the work and the

township doesn’t buy new but

used and recently updated its

grader from a 1990 to a 2007

model.

Both Cleary and Grommesh

brought up how the township

and city work together to get

things done and keep costs

down for both entities.

Blaha said she has seen part-

nerships between townships

and cites across the state to help

keep costs down.

When the auditor asked

Cleary what would be on the

agenda for that night’s meet-

ing he said besides the levy it

would be gopher bounties. He

explained there is an effort to

get all townships in the county

to adopt the same bounty for

gophers, which can burrow and

hurt buried cables.

One concern brought up by

Cleary was the increase of

heavy vehicles on township

gravel roads which cause ac-

celerated and more frequent

maintenance, gravel and grad-

ing.

Brandon Township does

try to pave roads as much as

possible but when it does the

money for the paving takes

money from other areas.

Cleary is hoping the Min-

nesota Legislature can become

more aware of road issues

in townships. He mentioned

there are more people moving

into townships and they don’t

always realize not every road

is paved as it was where they

used to live.

Blaha said she was on here

way south on Interstate 94 to

an appointment and thought it

would be nice to talk to people

on the township level on annual

meeting day. Her coordinator

spotted Brandon Township on

the map and made the call and

the meeting was set.

The auditor said the meeting

and the discussion were very

helpful and she was interested

in what everyone was saying. “I

couldn’t think of a better way to

begin this trip than by stopping

here in Brandon,” Blaha said.

The hospitality at the meeting

also included different kinds of

donuts, which were enjoyed

by all.

Evansville City Council hears audit report for 2019

The Evansville City Council

at its meeting March 9 heard an

audit report for the city’s 2019

finances.

The audit report was pre-

sented by Dean Birkeland of

Carlson SV.

The report showed no prob-

lems with the city’s financial

reporting.

Two mistakes were found and

corrected pages will be sent to

the city so they can be put into

the audit booklets.

Monica Olson, representing

Gardonville, was at the meeting

to inform the council the co-op

would like to present the coun-

cil with a proposal for internet

service in the city.

Olson said a meeting with the

council with others presenting

the specifics of the proposal

would be helpful.

The council approved hold-

ing a special meeting, open

to the public, for 2 p.m. April

14 to hear the proposal from

Gardonville.

A bid for painting the council

chambers was received from

MH Painting in the amount of

$1,350. The council approved

spending up to $1,000 for the

painting at its February meet-

ing. At the March meeting the

council approved spending

up to $1,500 for the painting

project.

Legal notice

March brings the promise of

things to come. Our days are

getting longer, the sun is warm

er, and except for a few more

winter setbacks, we are well on

our way to Spring! What can

you do to get a jumpstart on the

gardening season? How about

starting your own seeds and

propagating your own plants?

Growing Green

with Extension Educator

Robin Trott

Starting garden plants from

seeds indoors can be an enjoy-

able project for any gardener,

and is a relatively inexpensive

way to grow a wide variety

of plants. Seed catalogs have

considerably more varieties,

colors and cultivars than your

local garden center, so if you

just have to have a particular

variety of tomato, or color of

flower, starting your own might

be the way to go.

If you have ever dug and

divided your perennials, you

have already practiced vegeta-

tive propagation. This type of

propagation involves taking

parts of a plant (stems, roots,

and/or leaves) and causing them

to develop into a new plant or,

in some cases, several plants.

With few exceptions, the result-

ing plant is genetically identical

to the parent plant. The major

types of vegetative propagation

are cuttings, layering, division,

separation, grafting, and bud-

ding. Advantages of vegetative

propagation include:

• It may be easier and faster

than seed starting for some

species.

• It may be the only way to

perpetuate particular cultivars.

• It maintains the juvenile or

adult characteristics of certain

cultivars.

• It allows propagation of

special types of growth, such

as weeping or pendulous forms.

• It may more quickly result

in a large plant (compared to

one propagated by seed)

For more information about

plant propagation, join the

University of Minnesota Ex-

tension Master Gardeners at

their spring horticulture educa-

tion day, Let’s Get Growing,

April 4, 2020, from 8:00-3:30

at Discovery Middle School,

Alexandria, MN.

Dave Vaske, owner of Mil-

tona Greenhouses and Nursery

will present a two-part session

on The Basics of Plant Propaga-

tion. The most common way to

propagate a plant is to start with

seed, and for many plants, this

is the best way. However, in

many situations starting from

seed is a poor choice. The whys

and how’s of multiple types

of plant propagation will be

covered, and techniques for

home gardeners to success-

fully propagate almost any

plant will be introduced. This

will be followed by Basics of

Plant Propagation Demo, which

will demonstrate techniques

discussed at the earlier session.

Bill Cook, Professor of Bio-

logical Sciences at St. Cloud

State University and Stearns

County Extension Master

Gardeners will present Seed

Starting for Beginners. Garden-

ers can get a jump on spring

vegetables and flowers and save

some money by starting seeds

indoors. We will cover basics of

soils, watering, using artificial

lights, heat and getting those

seedlings successfully outside

with recommendations on

when to start commonly grown

vegetables.

question: “Which came first,

be: “Which came first: the

tree or the seed or the cutting?”

place where the land stretches so far

across the earth that eagles dance

above serene evergreen covered hills

and hawks search for prey over a quilted

prairie. This land of gentle hills, prairie, rivers

lakes and streams is of course, Minnesota. A land where there is

nothing so cold as the rst 40-degree day in October and nothing so warm

as the rst 40-degree day in February. A land which shines with the brightness

of snow in the winter and the freshness of green in the summer. The joy of being

from here, of living here and experiencing this land is something which is not easily explained to others. Which is

perhaps just as well. To adequately convey to outsiders the beauty of a drive along the North Shore, the view

from the rim of the Red River Valley, or the experience of shing open ice may only draw those who

cannot fully appreciate this Minnesota. The crisp, clean air lling the lungs on a blue-sky morning

near a glass-calm lake with the whispiest of mists drifting into the air, complemented by sudden,

but welcome, warbelings of a distant loon, is but one of the many joys allowed those who call

Minnesota home. And the call to the Star of the North has beckoned many a traveler to its

borders. The state is a melting pot of humanity. People from every race, creed and color

call Minnesota home. It has no one nationality, no single culture, no exclusive religious

belief. The cold for which it is famous is but a brief inconvenience for some and a

snow-covered world of play for others. The promise of spring is only here made

with such conviction. And only here is it enjoyed with such vigor. The summer,

which seems so brief, nds thousands and thousands trying to t in as much

fun as possible into a few months. And then there are those glorious falls.

Which sometimes masquerade as summer for few brief weeks before

pulling off their mask to end the ruse and bring the cool breezes which

tease and tickle the re-orange leaves before they depart from their

sylvan summer residences. The time may seem ever so brief when

citizens here walk around in short-sleeved shirts or without jackets.

But to the dedicated there is no "only" time to reside in Minnesota

or to be a Minnesotan. It is much more than being in a certain place.

It is putting up with the snowfalls and the storms and shoveling

out the driveway knowing that within a few hours the job may

have to be done again. It is taking advantage of a wonderful place

which Mother Nature has endowed with hills, valleys, plains,

lakes, forests and prairie. It makes no difference if one

prefers the heavy forests of the Northeast, with their

wonderfully clean smell; the bluffs of the Southeast,

rising majestically from a great river; the rolling hills of

the Southwest with their summer blankets of corn and

wheat; the plains of the Northwest, with their endlessly

serene beauty; or the thousands of lakes which dot the

landscape and add to the state's character. It is all Minnesota

a place where prairie and the forest collide, the continental divide

runs east to west, and the Mighty Mississippi, the Father of Waters,

begins. Where cities hustle and bustle with everything needed for those

who take comfort in knowing they are in "the big city." And yet, Minnesota

is still a place where it is possible to know the unique experience of living in a

town small enough where you know everybody and nd all the joy needed for

living in that simple fact. It may be difcult to answer why we stay. But stay we do.

Because we know what Minnesota is. We live it. We breath it. We know what it is all

about. From every corner there is something worth staying for. And its wonder and

beauty are enough to keep us here through all the changes of a great Minnesota Year!

Census, Census, Census…is

it really that important?

YES!

Data from the census will

determine how much of the

federal taxes that Minnesotans

paid will return to Minnesota

to fund schools, infrastructure

repairs, transportation plan-

ning, Medicare, energy assis-

tance, civil rights and advocacy

programs, and more. It’s also

critical for representation, as

Minnesota could possibly lose

one of our eight congressional

districts. This would mean that

our representatives would have

larger geography in their dis-

trict boundaries. It also would

mean that our representation at

the state level could be from a

suburban location and have a

much more divided loyalty in

terms of rural/metro issues.

Here is what you (yes, you!)

can do to help make a big im-

pact on increasing Minnesota’s

response rate.

Fill out your Census form

as soon as you are notified.

Residents will begin receiving

their notice after March 12,

which will invite them to fill out

their Census form online. Yes,

that’s right, this is the first year

we will be able to submit our

information online—and it’s

secure! If you’re not comfort-

able with online submission or

lack access to the internet, the

notice also will list a number to

call to provide your answers to a

Census worker over the phone.

Still unsure? You can call to re-

quest a paper form be sent out to

you. If you have questions, stop

into your local library, where

staff will be happy to assist

you. Lastly, if the Census hasn’t

heard from you, they will send

a Census staff member to your

door to collect your information

in person.

Tell your friends, neighbors,

relatives, and strangers how

important the Census is to our

community. Stuck in line? Talk

about the Census—every person

counted brings about $28,000

into Minnesota. Tempted to

talk about the weather? Ask

whether they’ve completed the

Census yet. Waiter asks if you

need anything? Tell him you

need him to fill out his Census

form. Someone asks you about

sports? Tell them that Minne-

sota is “number two” in Census

response rates, and we’re losing

to Wisconsin.

Hashtag on social media. I

know, hashtags are scary (and

soon to go out of fashion), but

#EveryoneCounts in #Cen-

sus2020. #WeCountMN!

If you have five or more hours

a week and would like to earn

some extra money, apply for a

Census job. Current openings

pay $19 per hour and include

paid training and mileage re-

imbursement. Learn more at

2020census.gov/jobs.

The Census is a critical part

of the US government. Please

help Minnesota be the most

responsive state in the nation

(and finally beat Wisconsin)!

B-E boys fall to Ashby in South Sub-Section play

The Brandon-Evansville

boys basketball team took on

Ashby in the opening round of

the South Sub-Section tourna

ment March 5.

The Chargers had the best

of the contest in the first half

building a 28-15 halftime lead.

In the second half the Arrows

chipped away at the deficit until

taking their first lead late in the

second half.

The two teams kept the game

close in the closing minutes but

the Arrows had the better of the

struggle for a 49-45 win.

“This game was a tale of two

halves. We did a nice job in the

first half winning the rebound

ing battle and getting the 50/50

balls. The opposite happened in

the second half and hats off to

Ashby for making that happen.

“I’ve said it all year, this sub-

section is an absolute grinder.

Nothing is easy, and anything

can happen. I look forward to

following the remainder of

the section 6A tournament,”

said B-E Coach Trent Hinter

meister.

This was the last game for

this year’s B-E seniors and the

coach appreciated their contri

butions to the program.

“I want to start out by say-

ing thank you to our wonder-

ful seniors who have done so

much for our program. Charger

basketball is moving in the right

direction because of Andrew

Johnson, Andrew Perrin, Jesse

Perleberg, Keagan Schiele,

Marshall Riedel, Sam Fuller,

Seth Stelzer, Tanner Bitzan,

and Tony Schaffran. These

guys were great teammates,

are fantastic role models, and

will only continue to grow as

leaders,” said the coach.

Looking toward the future

the coach feels the players

who will be returning will

keep the program in the right

direction.

“Moving forward, it will be

fun to watch Kobe Rieland,

Brian Lauthen, Titus Fuller, and

Tyler Bitzan step into bigger

roles for us this summer and

next season. We will be young

and inexperienced next year,

but I’m confident in our next

group of players thanks to the

path our seniors have laid for

them,” Hintermeister said.

The Charger-Ashby game

was the closest of the first-

round games. All others were

decided by 15 points or more.

The Chargers ended the sea-

son at 18-9.

In other first round games it

was WCA over KMS 89-53;

Parkers Prairie over W-H-N

74-51; and Hancock over Battle

Lake 61-44.

In the second-round March

7 it was WCA over Ashby 73-

55 and Hancock over Parkers

Prairie 61-58.

In the North Sub-Section first

round it was: Henning over

Rothsay 82-32; NYM over

Lake Park-Audubon 55-54;

NCE/UH over Park Christian

70-51; and Mahnomen over

Hillcrest 64-47.

The North semifinals had

Henning over NYM 85-48;

and Mahnomen over NCE/

UH 60-56.

In the South championship

game it was WCA over Han-

cock 68-47 while Henning won

the North with a 78-35 win over

Mahnomen.

In the section title game it

will be Henning against WCA

March 12 at Concordia at 7 p.m.

Marshall Riedel of the Chargers drove past this Ashby player when the two teams played

in the South Sub-Section game March 5.

Disease Prevention and Control

Stay Calm, Be Prepared,

Wash Your Hands,

Stay Informed

It is not too often that “What’s

on the Horizon” talks about

the same subject two months

in a row. Coronavirus (CO

VID-19), however, warrants a

closer look and an update. Pub

lic messages about every aspect

of this viral illness are coming

at us from every direction. The

Centers for Disease Control

(CDC), Minnesota Department

of Health (MDH) and Horizon

Public Health (HPH) are all

working together to bring you

the best information that is cur

rently available in this quickly

evolving situation.

Although much is still un-

known about the virus, here

are some things we do know:

• COVID-19 causes a viral

respiratory illness, much like

the common cold or influenza.

• The main symptoms of

COVID-19 are fever, cough

and shortness of breath.

• COVID-19 is able to spread

from person-to-person.

• The majority of people

infected experience mild ill-

ness, some people will become

seriously ill.

Protecting yourself from

COVID-19 involves the same

recommendations for avoiding

many respiratory illnesses such

as influenza and the common

cold.

• Wash your hands often

and thoroughly (20 seconds)

with soap and water. Use hand

sanitizer if soap and water are

not readily available.

• Stay home when you are

sick, this is critical to avoid

passing the virus to others

around you.

• Cover your cough/sneeze

into your elbow. If you use a

tissue, throw it in the garbage

and wash your hands. Don’t

cover your cough with your

hands!

• Don’t touch your face,

especially your eyes, nose and

mouth.

• Regularly disinfect fre-

quently touched surfaces like

door knobs, light switches,

remotes, etc.

You have heard the message

from public health through the

years, over and over, to prepare

your family for an emergency

situation. The federal web-

site www.ready.gov has great

checklists to help you consider

steps you can take. We recom-

mend that you take a look at

your supplies to be prepared

for being home for a couple of

weeks if necessary. Food, wa-

ter and medications are a great

place to start, but remember if

you go out and purchase more

than what you need it creates

empty store shelves for oth-

ers. This is a time to be ready,

but also remain calm in our

approach.

Masks have flown off store

shelves. Remember that masks

are needed for healthcare work-

ers and sick patients. They are

not intended to protect healthy

people in the community. The

available supply needs to be

for healthcare workers, so they

are able to care for those who

are critically ill. If you have

respiratory symptoms and plan

to seek medical care, please call

ahead or check the organiza-

tions website for instructions.

To stay up to date on current

information visit the Centers

for Disease Control website

at www.cdc.gov. They are

publishing the latest informa-

tion and frequently making

changes. There is information

for business owners, schools,

travelers and others who may

ance to help with planning and

decision making. For informa-

creased 3.5 percentage points.

However, for our American

Indian students, the four-year

graduation rate has remained

between 50 and 51 percent.

Fewer students are choos-

ing to drop out of high school.

From 2018 to 2019, the overall

statewide high school dropout

rate decreased from 4.6 percent

to 4.4 percent, and also dropped

for every student group. Over

the last 10 years, the number of

high school graduates enrolled

in developmental education

courses at Minnesota colleges

and universities during their

first two years has dropped

by 10 percent, suggesting that

as more Minnesota students

graduate high school, they are

leaving prepared for college

level coursework.

“I am heartened to see a mea-

surable decrease in the number

of students who dropped out of

high school,” said Commis

sioner Ricker. “That suggests

that students are hearing the

message that the adults in their

lives are here to support them,

and if they choose to persist

in their education that we will

persist right alongside them. I

know that, with the help of my

fellow commissioners as well

as educators and families all

across the state, Minnesota can

be the first state in the nation

to effectively end high school

dropouts.”
