Brian Burkholder explained that in 2012 about 2,500 feet of sewer line under Highway 52 was found to be in poor condition. It is expected that the highway will be overlayed in 2019.

The O in Gophers
An “O” and a “0” aren’t technically the same thing. For Chatfield softball, the “oh” represents a “zero” in the loss column. Mark Eickhoff personally had some really sad news on the week. His varsity head coaching career is, however, all smiles, all wins. Chatfield began by slamming W-K 14-1 in five innings. Belle Berg (2-4, 2B, HR, 2 RBI, 3 R) hit her third home run in … [Read more...]
