It’s been an eventful summer for Crookston Public Works. KROX talked with Director of Public Works Brandon Carlson to get updates on what is happening around the City.
SANITATION: UTILIZATION OF GARBAGE SERVICES
City Council members and the Public Works Department are seeking an agreement on garbage services and systems in Crookston. “We sell bags right now at local stores, and the colored bags get picked up weekly by our sanitation crews,” said Carlson. The garbage services are reportedly utilized by under five percent of Crookston residents. The community currently pays for garbage services on a drive-by fee on their water bill. The city is looking to decide on the current garbage services within the next month. “This is a conversation that council will have in the next month or so,” said Carlson. “We either need to buy a new garbage truck, or we need to stop the service.” The drive-by fee for the Sanitation Department alone collects up to $100,000 in revenue.
MOSQUITO CONTROL
Mosquitos are always an issue in the Summer months in Northwest Minnesota. Crookston Public Works spends a fair amount of time counting and analyzing mosquitoes in the area. “We’re still counting mosquitoes; larvicides are coming to the end of their cycle,” said Carlson. “So we’re going to put morelarvicideout for mosquito control.” The larvicides are meant to catch water from storms coming through the area. Therefore the water won’t allow mosquitoes to reproduce in that area.
According to Carlson, mosquitoes haven’t been a significant issue in the Crookston area. Therefore Public Works has held back on their spraying procedures at times. “When you go spray, you’re killing everything: mosquitoes, flies, butterflies, bees, and anything else that comes in contact with that pesticide,” said Carlson. “We have gotten up to 50 after one rain, but we don’t spray until we reach 100-count.” The most recent count from the department was 30 after rainfall.
WATER DEPARTMENT
The Crookston Water Department recently drained the North Water Tower. This maintenance service occurs every five years on the water towers. There were valve issues when working on the water tower. “When we shut the valve off, the valve won’t reopen now. So, we’re going to have to dig that up and replace that valve,” said Carlson. “However, the cleaning is done, and we’re about ready to put it back in service we just can’t at the moment.” The parts are in to replace the valve and the Water Department is waiting for the go-ahead to repair it.
STREET PATCHING REPAIRS, STREET SWEEPER
Crookston residents may have noticed the patchwork being done on the streets throughout town. “The guys are doing a lot of street patching right now, whether it is potholes or holes that were dug up for repairs and utilities,” said Carlson. “The street sweeper had a bearing issue with it, but that’s getting fixed. That will be back in full swing as soon as we can.”
The AG innovation road (across from Titan Machinery) has undergone sub-cutting operations and added gravel so that the road will be prepped for future curb work and black top. “This is sort of a park project, but they moved the utility crew from Spruce Valley down to the central park to get the water, sewer, and electrical installed there,” said Carlson. Following the dirt work at Central Park, the area will receive new pads for campers to park on, and every station will have a full hookup for water, sewer, and electricity.
WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT
The Wastewater Department ordered a rake for lift station 4 and is working toward installing this rake. The purpose of the rake is to keep the debris out of lift station 4. “The installation is essentially similar to a seaweed rake that goes out on pontoons,” said Carlson. “wWe must remove the top of the structure outside of lift station 4. We will install the rake, then install new grading.” Currently, the Wastewater Department is reviewing measurements and delivery of the rake.

The Crookston Area Chamber Ambassadors gathered to recognize, honor, and congratulate a thriving Crookston, NT, Auto Repair, and Exhaust business.
Noah Thompson, the owner, recalls the days when he first started at the bottom of a totem pole at a tire shop in Grand Forks. He started his career working in an environment with great people who allowed him to work his way up the ranks. Noah received invaluable training and education, which was offered right there on the job. Fast forward a few years, and he finds himself in the old Mike’s Muffler at 525 Strander Avenue in Crookston. When asked if there was a connection between him and Mike, Noah declined but said that he wishes he would have known him ten years ago, “he’s a great guy!” Noah took over the location back in March of 2023 and works side by side with his brother, Luke, which he enjoys. When asked what his favorite things to work on, Noah replied, “Custom exhaust is fun. I like to see people happy with the customization I built for them. I also like working on classic cars as they are easier. I work on everything from dirt old to brand new.”
Noah Thompson Auto Repair and Exhaust is open Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Customers are asked to call for appointments at 218-277-0070 or 218-281-7266.

Northland Community and Technical College plans to make use of more than $5 million in funding earmarked by the Minnesota Legislature for major renovation projects at both campus locations.
Bond funding of $3,282,000 has been approved for a renovation project at the Teaching and Learning lab on the East Grand Forks campus. An additional $2,436,222 bonding allocation was recently granted from the Higher Education Asset Preservation and Replacement (HEAPR) program to complete a roof replacement on the 1991 classroom addition at the aerospace site on the Thief River Falls campus.
The programs impacted on the East Grand Forks campus include the Early Childhood and Education Program, Pharmacy Technology Program, Respiratory Therapy Program, Radiology Program, and the Computer and Networking Technology Program. Major renovations to the Teaching and Learning lab will address important concerns like student and faculty safety, accreditation requirements, and ongoing maintenance.
“This project was initiated within our facilities comprehensive plan and was a team effort that included students, faculty, staff, and administration,” said facilities director Clinton Castle. Credit goes to JLG architects for the excellent submittal of the predesign, Bob Gooden for project planning and meeting all required deadlines for submittal, Minnesota State System for supporting our project, and all the students, faculty, staff, and administrators that provided input. This project will show that the college is invested in and excited about supporting our community needs.”
The approved design concept for the renovation project focuses on providing “real world” simulations for each program, a contemporary teaching and learning environment with appropriate active learning technologies, adequate space for students and faculty, a benchtop workspace, and contemporary equipment needs. The renovation will provide a competitive edge for Northland to attract and retain both students and faculty to continue serving the workforce needs of the region.
The HEAPR funding of $2,436,222, expected mid-May, will be used for the Thief River Falls aerospace classroom roof replacement project. The building houses the Aviation Maintenance Technology program, the cutting-edge Geospatial Applications certification, and the nations first Unmanned Aerial Systems maintenance training program. Both projects will follow the same timeline, with construction beginning on both campuses in mid-May 2024.
“This is the top priority on our HEAPR list,” Castle said. “This project will significantly reduce facility deferred maintenance and will meet MN state roofing design standards submitted by Roof Spec INC. Again, this improvement project demonstrates our commitment to investing in important facilities and programs for the future of the college.”

Rose M. Ranz, 97, Fertile, MN, passed away on Monday, June 26, 2023 at Fair Meadow Nursing Home in Fertile.
Rose was born on May 5, 1926 to Melvin and Isabelle Perkins. As a child, she lived on her familys farm with her many brothers and sisters. She loved to follow her dads plow, running her feet through the freshly turned soil.In 1941, she graduated from Ottertail County Schoolin Minnesotaaftereighth grade. Roses lifelong love of helping and caring for others became a reality when she got her first job working as a hotel clerk in Wadena, MN. Her time at the hotel was short, however, as the American involvement in World War II forced her to return home. It was during the war that a childhood friendship began to bloom into something more.
Rose began writing letters to her longtime friend, Edgar Wright, during World War II. While his letters told of life abroad, hers told a simpler story of life on the farm. Through these letters the two grew closer, and when he returned home, Rose and Edgar were finally together again. They were married on December 1, 1945. Together, they raised seven childrenin a big house filled with love and mischief. When Edgar died in 1961, Rose purchased a farm in Fertile where could raise her seven kids, then ranging in age from four to 16. She taught her kids to care for the gardens, chickens, home, and each other, and always knew how to make each one of them feel special and remembered.
In 1969, Rose married Harold Ranz, though her children remained the focal point of her life as they began to start their own lives and families. When the youngest of her children graduated from high school in 1975,she moved to Lake City, MN to care for her ailing Uncle Jack.Rose found a job in Lake Cityat The Galley restaurant.She loved the work that she did there and met many wonderful friends both in the kitchen and the dining room as well.Her time in Lake City proved to be a refocusing of thefamily, as her children would often bring their own children to visit and stay with Grandma Rosie.
In 1998, after the passing of her uncle, Rose moved to Gully, MN.Her gardens were filled with flowers and hummingbirds a sight everyone came to expect when they visited. And while her home was small, it was filled with her same amazing ability to make everyone who entered feel special. She showed her love through her cooking and would always remember her familys individual preferences. Her chicken noodle soup was a staple of hunting season, her homemade donuts were renowned,andshemade sure to make a batch ofpotatosalad without eggs or without onion for anyone who requested it.
Rose made incredible lefse, crazy cake, potato pancakes, and a host of other delights, buther creativity didnt stop there. She made beautiful quilts one for every grandchild and was anavid canner as well. She was a great and regular card player and always knew where her 300-card Hand and Foot deck was hiding. Rose loved visiting the Polk County Fair and would do laps around the fairgrounds with her family, stopping to ride the Tilt-A-Whirl and Scrambler. When she ran out of ride tickets, you could find her peeling potatoes at the Concordia Lutheran Church food stand or snacking on burger.
Rose Ranz wasso much to so many. A mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, wife, friend, and sister. Throughout her life she had her share of hardships but an abundant share of joy as well. Rose will be dearly and fondly remembered by all and missed for the rest of our lives.
Rosewas preceded in death by her parents, Melvin & Isabelle Perkins; her siblings, Maryetta Shamp, Delores Rose, Adeline Shamp, and Elmer Perkins; her first husband Edgar Wright, and second husband Harold Ranz; and her son, Robert (Bob)Wright.
She is survived by her children, Joyce Rhode, Elvin (Bucky) Wright (Joyce), Linda Sanders (Rick), Susan (Susie) Balstad (Vance), Pearl Freude (Paul), and Errol Wright; 15 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren; and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
