Evansville utility improvement project progressing
The latest update for the City
of Evansville’s 2014 utility improvement project shows things
are going well.
An update on the project was
given to the city council at its
meeting Oct. 7.
The update said the underground work should be done
this week. The dirt crews will
follow the underground work
with the dirt work hopefully
done by the end of next week.
The project is on schedule to
be completed this fall.
The council also discussed
an updated lease with the
Brandon-Evansville School
District.
Members of the city council
met with members of the B-E
School Board to discuss the
matter.
One of the items discussed
about the lease was who provides the insurance for the cityowned part of the Evansville
campus building.
Both the city and the district
need to have liability insurance
in place because some of the
events in the city part of the
building are city events and
some are school events.
The city has property and
contents insurance on its portion of the building while the
district does not because there
is no need to double up on that
type of insurance.
The length of a new lease was
discussed. The council felt a
long-term contract would work
best. No definite length was
agreed upon but a 20-year lease
was brought up as acceptable.
The council also at the meeting agreed to accept Micah
Jacobs as a new member of the
Evansville Fire Department and
Brett Thoennes as a standby
member of the department.
The council set Nov. 10 at
7 p.m. as the date and time to
canvass the results of this year’s
general election.
The council’s next regular
meeting date is Monday, Dec.
1. The early date means there
will not be many things which
have come in for the council
to discuss or take care of, such
as bills. A request was made to
move the December meeting
date back and it was decided to
hold the meeting at 7 p.m. Dec.
8. This will also be the city’s
truth in taxation meeting date.

McNamer to introduce legislation
to lower property taxes on ag land
State Rep. Jay McNamar
(DFL – Elbow Lake) announced
recently that he is preparing legislation to reduce property taxes
on agricultural land within the
boundaries of low population
school districts throughout Minnesota, especially in sparsely
populated portions of the border
district he represents. The bill
will help rural communities
who want to retain their public
school.
The need for legislative action was highlighted during an
education listening session attended by local residents, school
administrators, and elected officials in Breckenridge.
“I heard from local residents
and school officials, and now
we need to take action,” said
Rep. McNamar.
Rep. McNamar’s bill would
provide agricultural tax replacement aid to local school districts
with enrollment of 500 students
or fewer. This aid would be targeted to school districts paying
for capital improvement projects. Rep. McNamar used the
construction of a new school in
Rothsay, MN to highlight why
the legislation is needed.
“Local residents passed a levy
increase to pay for the project,
but the costs of new construction will overwhelmingly fall
on farmers, some of whom
don’t even live in the school
district,” said McNamar “You
can understand why many in
the community want to invest
in a new school. It’s a sign of a
strong community, it provides
a better education to our kids,
but this issue of skyrocketing
property taxes needs to be addressed. If you have a 500 acre
farm and your property tax bill
goes up $20,000 a year, that’s
completely unworkable.”
Rep. McNamar plans to push
the bill immediately when he
returns to the legislature in
2015. He was optimistic that
there would be bipartisan support for the bill.
“I’ve been talking to Rep.
Paul Marquart who chairs the
Education Finance committee,
and there is already positive momentum. This tax replacement
aid will not only strengthen
the economy in small towns

Fall Planted Bulbs
for Spring Blooms
It seems strange to talk about
planting this time of year, but
now is the time to plant spring
bulbs and garlic. When it comes
to producing color early in the
season, you can’t beat springflowering perennial bulbs. If
cared for properly, they’ll come
back year after year from a
single fall planting, providing
many blooms for your investment.
In spring, we all wish we
had planted tulips or some of
the other spring bulbs to give
us that first early color in our
yard. Now is the time to take
action and get them in the
ground. Our nurseries have
some great selections at this
time of year. Select the largest
bulbs you can find to give you
the largest blooms next spring.
Select a garden spot in full sun
that has rich, well-drained soil.
Plant when the soil temperature
has cooled to promote root
growth and not top growth, ideally late September – October.
(When is it too late to plant?
If you can dig a hole, you can
plant a bulb!) Planting depth
will vary with the type of bulb
being planted, but the general
rule of thumb is 2-3 times the
height of the bulb. (Look for
literature at your nursery for
directions on bulb planting.)
Plant pointy side UP!! (Harder
with corms…look for the rooting structure on the underside
of the bulb, this goes down.)
Don’t forget to purchase a few
extra bulbs to force when the
winter winds blow. Nothing
is more cheering than tulips
and daffodils blooming in the
middle of March.
At a loss for what to plant?

it will greatly improve small
town quality of life and E-12
education by allowing these
investments to move forward
in a sustainable way. So many
small town schools double as
community event spaces.”
As farm land values have
continued to increase, the adjoining increases in property
tax payments have burdened
landowners and highlighted
structural inequality that Rep.
McNamar has been addressing since the beginning of his
first term in 2013. During the
legislative session in 2014, Governor Dayton signed legislation
that Rep. McNamar passed to
replace funding for 11 rural
Minnesota counties who had
state payments reduced because
of inflated farmland property
values that distorted county
program aid formulas.
Rep. McNamar encourages
constituents to contact him
with any questions, comments,
concerns, or ideas on any legislative topic. Rep. McNamar
can be reached by phone at 651296-4929 or by email at rep.jay.

B-E volleyball team splits LEC matches, takes part in B-H tournament
The Brandon-Evansville
volleyball team took on Underwood in a Little Eight
Conference contest Sept. 30 in
Evansville.
The Rockets won a close first
set 25-22 with the Chargers
evening the match with a 25-17
win in the second set.
Underwood then won the next
two sets, 25-18 and 25-17 to
take the contest.
“We knew coming into tonight’s match what we needed
to make happen. We had to take
care of the ball when we had it
to control the pace of the match,
but too many times tonight we
just gave it back to Underwood
in a way that let them pressure
our defense. For the second
time this year they outplayed
us. We had our chances, but
just failed to capitalize. Timely
hitting errors, serve errors, and
hesitation on defense broke us
down. The girls played hard,
but it just didn’t bounce in our
favor tonight. Obviously with
the loss we would need the stars
to align in order for any hope
of a conference title, so we just
need to readjust our goals. With
some long faces in the locker
room tonight we talked about
moving on, refocusing our efforts, and getting ready for the
next match,” said B-E Coach
Kelly Olson.
Emma Friedrich led the team
in kills with 21 while Katie Kokett led in digs with 29.
Mariah Hansen, Elizabeth
Friedrich and Emma Friedrich
each had one block.
“The season does not end
with this match, and I think
the players know that. Come
tomorrow we will get back to
the task at hand, getting better
and readying ourselves for the
final push,” said Olson.

B-E 3, Rothsay 0
The Chargers took on Rothsay
in another LEC contest Oct. 2
in Evansville.
The Chargers broke a 5-5 tie
in the first set and maintained
the lead winning 25-17.
In the second set B-E took the
lead and held onto it, leading
19-9 at one point before winning 25-14.
The closest set of the match
was the third with the Chargers
managing a 25-20 win to take
the contest.
“It was great to get back in the
win column after a tough three
game skid. Tonight the girls
cleaned up a lot of the things
that have plagued us during
that stretch. We still have some
work to do, but going into this
weekend at the Bertha-Hewitt
tournament we have something
to build on.
“We played pretty well tonight and I thought we did what
we needed to do in order to get
the victory. Rothsay always
comes to play hard so we had
to be focused on our side of the
court. It was also nice to see
the girls play relaxed out there
and not worry so much about
what just happened, either good
or bad. Tonight we seemed to
make an adjustment when it
was needed and move on to the
next play.
“Serving was good again tonight at almost 94% with seven
aces. As a team we hit .234 for
the match after a slow start in set
1 where we only were good for
.103. Overall I liked what we did
out there. Mariah and Emma had
solid nights again tonight with 8
and 12 kills respectively. Kylee
did a good job keeping everyone
involved at the net. It was also
Maddi Quinn’s first varsity
action tonight. She earned her
first set assist and kill during
the second set, so that was fun
to see an 8th grader get after it,”
said Olson.
Emma Friedrich had 12 kills
while Mariah Hansen had eight
for B-E.

Bertha-Hewitt Tourney
The Chargers took part in
the Bertha-Hewitt Tournament
Oct. 4.
“Today we played well. Taking third place at this tournament means we did some things
really well today. For most of
the day we all played with good
energy and played solid defense.
We also served effectively today
at 92% as a team. Put those
couple things together with an
increase in ball control and we
set ourselves up for success,”
said Olson.
B-E opened up the tournament taking on Pillager. B-E
won the match 25-10 and 25-17.
“Against Pillager we jumped
out to an early lead both sets.
The second set we struggled
from behind the serving line
but sided them out very nicely
to finish them off,” said Olson.
The Chargers’ next contest
was against Bertha-Hewitt. B-E
won the first set 25-20 and the
second 25-13 to take the match.
“We knew going against
Bertha we needed to take care
of the ball much better. During
this match I felt we had control
of what was going on and that
we were very methodical in our
play. We did have to slow the
match down a couple of places
to gather our thoughts, but the
girls stayed focused and had
a final push at the end,” the
coach said.
B-E’s Shyanna Behrens put this ball over the net during the contest with Rothsay.
The third match of the day
for B-E was against Ashby with
the Chargers prevailing 25-20
and 25-17.
“In the third match we played
Ashby. Having beaten them
twice this year there is always
the chance we could come out
and play flat. The sets were
back and forth, but we made
just enough plays to win out. I
was very pleased we won, they
are a scrappy team,” commented
Olson.
The Chargers next took on
Verndale falling 25-21 in the
first set and 25-21 in the second
to take the match.
“In bracket play we took on
Verndale in the semis and just
never got on track. We served
well percentage wise, but with
too many serves at them. They
are a good control team and were
effective in their serve receive.
We got chances to side out, but
at crucial times just did not get
it done. Our focus wavered at
times and although we ended up
losing we did not shut down for
the day,” the coach said.
The final match of the day
was against Swanville with B-E
prevailing 25-14 and 25-15.
“Against Swanville in the
third place match I felt we found
that focus again and played well.
We got everyone in during the
day, and during this match we
took care of the ball and played
in system most of the time. We
had players ready to play when
called upon, we saw a balanced
approach to our attack, and we
finished 4-1 on the day. Overall,
pretty good. The girls should be
happy with the day as a whole.
“Next week we travel to West
Central and Battle Lake. Those
are big section games and we
are looking forward to the challenge,” Olson said.
Emma Friedrich led the team
in kills with 45 and also had 10
blocked shots. Shonna Bradley
led the team in serving with
12 aces.
Mariah Hansen led the team
in digs with 48 while Katie
Kokett had 45.
The Chargers will take on
Battle Lake Oct. 9 away at 5
p.m.
DNR Question of the Week
Q: Why does this year seem
to be particularly good for fall
colors?
A: Some of those magnificent colors we’re seeing this
fall were there all summer;
you just couldn’t see them
because of the green pigment
in the leaf’s chlorophyll. As
our days get shorter and the
temperatures cool down, trees
cease chlorophyll production,
allowing yellow and orange
pigments in the leaf to show.
Red and purple pigments can
be created in some tree species
if the late summer weather is
sunny and bright and nights
are not frosty. The slightest
change – too hot, too cold, too
wet or too dry – can slow the

Gridders win 2OT thriller with Wheaton-Herman-Norcross
For the first time in a long
time the Brandon-Evansville
football team has won four
games in a season.
For the first time since the two
teams began playing each other,
the Chargers have recorded a
win over Wheaton-HermanNorcross.
The win came in fine style as
B-E outlasted the Warriors 3634 in a double-overtime game
played in Brandon.
The Chargers took the opening kickoff and marched down
the field on a drive that chewed
up more than nine minutes resulting in a one-yard touchdown
run by Tom Bosek. The try for
two failed.
W-H-N responded with a
touchdown on their first play
from scrimmage 30 seconds
later. Mason Deal scampered
76 yards for the score and Paul
Berger ran for the extra two
points to put the Warriors up
8-6, which is the way the first
quarter ended.
In the second period W-H-N
expanded its lead with a 9-yard
pass from Blake Coffman to
Brad Dahlen.
The Chargers responded
when Huisman scored from
eight yards out to cut the lead
to 14-12 at the half.
In the third period both teams
scored. The Warriors first when
Deal found the end zone from
two yards out with the try for
two no good.
The Chargers tied the score
when Huisman scored from
3-yards out with Bosek connecting with Collin Carlson for the
extra points.
In the first overtime the Chargers had the ball first from the
10 yard line. After getting the
ball to the four, Huisman took it
over for a score on the next play.
Bosek then connected with Will
Schroeder for the extra points.
W-H-N then had their shot
from the ten and made the
most of it when Coffman took
the ball into the end zone on
first down and then ran for the
extra points to force a second
overtime session.
In the second extra session WH-N went first and scored when
Deal took the ball in from one
yard out. The try for two failed.
The Chargers then took their
turn. The call again went to
Huisman who scored from
five yards out. His number was
called again for the extra points
and when he found the end zone
the game was over.
“I’m so proud of our guys
tonight. The blocking of our
line and backs was great all
night long and James ran harder
and harder as the game went on.
Our seniors stepped up and lead
us to this victory. We’ll watch
the film, learn, and get ready
for another tough contest with
Verndale this week,” said B-E
Coach Tim Pattrin.
The Chargers converted on
all seven of their fourth down
tries. W-H-N made good on two
of five fourth down tries.
Huisman had 182 yards on
43 carries in the contest while
McKenon Plaster had 43 yards
on seven tries.
Bosek ended the game with
64 yards on three completions.
Schroeder had one completion
for 47 yards.
The Warriors finished with
409 total yards with 396 on the

The Road To Hope
By Mick Murphy
Pastor, Calvary Covenant Church, Evansville
Two years ago my wife and
I took a two-person tour of the
old Burlington Railroad Station
in our home town. Today it’s the
home of General Bob Moore’s
old uniforms. It tells the story
of some of the men from Southwest Iowa who hopped the
train, rode off to war and ended
up in a German prisoner of war
camp where they aged before
their time; most of them died
in their fifties and sixties. Not
many people come to this little
museum and, truth be told, I was
very unfamiliar with it when I
went inside.
The outside, yes, I knew very
well. When we were going anywhere we picked up our tickets
at the window, then waited in
the car or walked around the
siding for the train to come.
When Grandmother Murphy
arrived home from seeing my
aunt and uncle in Chicago, we
waited in the car, picked her up
and brought her to her house. At
no time did we ever, ever have
to go into the station.
So it was a great surprise
when, two years ago on a
two person tour of the old
Burlington Railroad Station, I
found the lunch counter at the
far end of the building. It had
an elegant wooden counter
with six counter stools. There
were two or three tables by the
window. It was a place you
could easily smell hamburger
frying. The ghosts of soldiers
Late September until the
ground is ready to freeze is the
ideal time to plant garlic. It just
needs to establish some roots
this fall and will be ready to
grow next spring. Fall planting
will produce larger bulbs than
spring planted cloves. There are
two types of garlic, soft neck
and hard neck. We grow hard
neck garlic in this area, as it
will survive better than the soft
neck varieties. Garlic grows best
on well-drained soils high in
organic matter. Sandy loam or
loam soils have the most ideal
texture for garlic. Prepare a spot
in your garden and plant the
individual cloves two to three
inches deep and about six inches
apart. The secret to getting good
garlic is to mulch the area where
you plant the cloves. Putting 4-6
inches of straw or hay over the
row will give it plenty of protection over the winter. It will grow
through the mulch next spring,
so you do not need to remove it
then. By about August you can
dig up some new garlic.
For more information about
flowering bulbs and garlic, visit
www.extension.umn.edu.
Until next time, happy gardening!
**********
To pick a flower is so much
more satisfying than just observing it, or photographing it ... So
in later years, I have grown in
my garden as many flowers as
possible for children to pick. ~

and their duffle bags stood in the
corner watching me. I thought
of them and thanked them for
what they did.
I went into an old place and
saw something I had never seen
before, which is why people
should read their Bibles. For
that’s the way it is: if you give
it a chance, you can read a passage you thought you know (try
reading it out loud sometime)
and suddenly something new
floats out, flitters through the
air, lands in your ear and touches
your heart. You weren’t looking
for it but God gives it to you
just the same.
I grew up in the town. I was
in and out of it for well over
sixty years before I new that
little lunch counter was there.
I wondered for days about who
worked there, who ate their,
where they were going and
whatever became of them.
God knows. And that’s good
enough.

Breakfast anyone?
More times than not when
I go out to a restaurant for a
meal I choose a breakfast. It
doesn’t matter if it is noon, six
o’clock in the afternoon, or a
ten-o’clock brunch, I enjoy a
breakfast. How come it always
taste better than a breakfast
cooked at home?
On Saturday, October 18th
there is an opportunity for a
wonderfully cooked breakfast
of pancakes and sausage. The
Lions of Kensington along
with the members of Trinity
Lutheran Church of Evansville
will be hosting a benefit breakfast for the family of Kevin and
Jolene (Daughter of Ed and
Nancy Becker) Kangas.
Due to a chronic back issue
Kevin hasn’t been able to work
for three years.
You may remember seeing Kevin as you skied the
slops of Andes! Kevin worked
maintenance for many years
on the hills. Breakfast will
be served from 7 a.m. until
11:30 a.m. at the Kensington
Community Center. Free will

family, neighbors, and enjoy
a breakfast for a good cause.

be able to choose a multi-state
plan, offered by Blue Cross and
Blue Shield. These multi-state
plans are offered in all counties
across Minnesota.
The Southeast region of the
state, including Olmsted County, will now have greater plan
choices and more competitive
rates. Also identified as Rating
Area 1, Southeastern Minnesota
will have two insurers with
greatly expanded service areas
offering coverage this year.
“I am happy that we have
attracted insurers to the market and are providing greater
choice to Minnesotans throughout the state,” said MNsure
Board Chairman Brian Beutner.
“Some individuals may see
lower rates and many more will
benefit from state and federal
financial help, so I encourage
consumers to shop on MNsure
to find what is best for them.”

cost savings such as tax credits,
low-cost or even no-cost insurance. Today, Minnesotans can
find income thresholds on the
MNsure website, and see what
cost savings they may be eligible for, as well as a snapshot
of 2015 rates. All premium rates
will be available online beginning November 15, once Open
Enrollment is underway. At that
time, consumers will be able to
find out what specific tax credit
or other cost savings they are
eligible for.
Free, in-person assistance is
available for Minnesotans who
have questions about MNsure or
who need help with enrollment.
Certified Navigators and Brokers are available throughout
the state.
Since the launch of MNsure,
343,075 Minnesotans have
enrolled in quality, affordable
coverage through MNsure.
55,705 are enrolled in a Qualified Health Plan, 213,175 in
Medical Assistance and 74,825
in MinnesotaCare. Between
September 30, 2013, and May 1,
2014, the number of uninsured
Minnesotans fell by 40.6% to a
record low, and now 95 percent
of Minnesotans have health
coverage. Open enrollment for
2015 coverage begins November 15, 2014.
MNsure announces more plans and coverage
MNsure recentlyy announced
that Minnesotans will have
more plans and coverage options to choose from in every
county, and more access to
financial help when the 2015
Open Enrollment Period begins
on November 15. MNsure is the
only place where consumers can
qualify for financial help—and
most Minnesotans qualify.
“I am grateful for the work
that the Minnesota Department
of Commerce did to ensure a
greater range of plans across
the entire state, especially in regions where offerings were not
as robust in 2014,” said MNsure
CEO Scott Leitz. “Add to that
the fact that more Minnesotans
will be able to save money by
qualifying for financial help by
shopping through MNsure, and
today’s announcement is indeed
good news for Minnesota.”
This year, five Minnesota-based insurers will offer
coverage through MNsure,
although the insurers are different. HealthPartners, UCare,
Medica, Blue Plus, and Blue
Cross and Blue Shield will offer

Number of absentee ballots now tops 50,000
The Office of the Minnesota
Secretary of State reports 51,117
absentee ballots have been
distributed to voters for the
November 4 General Election,
of which 11,290 have been returned and accepted by election
officials — nearly 8,000 in the
past week alone.
The 2014 number of accepted
ballots compares to 21,214 this
time in 2012, and 7,595 in 2010.
No-Excuse Absentee Voting
in Minnesota
Voters can vote early with an
absentee ballot in person at their
county elections office or local
elections office through November 3. Or, voters may submit a
request online at mnvotes.org
for a ballot to be mailed to them.
Voters may also download an
absentee ballot application, and
submit it by mail, email, fax or
personal delivery.
Minnesota has “no-excuse”
absentee voting — voters do not
need to provide an excuse, such
as being ill or out of the precinct
on Election Day, to vote with an
absentee ballot.
“More Minnesotans are becoming aware of this opportunity and taking advantage of this
convenience,” says Secretary
of State Mark Ritchie. “Noexcuse absentee voting further
improves the access to voting
for our eligible voters.”

New Video Helps Voters
Understand Voting Early with
an Absentee Ballot
The Office of the Minnesota
Secretary of State recently introduced a one-minute 30-second
animated video that provides
an overview of the early voting process and reinforces key
tips for voters to ensure their
absentee ballot is accepted.
2014 Is a Significant Election Year
This election year, Minnesota
voters will head to the polls to

Minnesota’s eight U.S. House
seats, as well as governor, attorney general, secretary of
state and state auditor, and all
Minnesota State House seats.
The 2014 election will also
include many county commissioners, county sheriffs, county
attorneys, auditors, treasurers
and recorders.

on Election Day.
