Happ-enings

3 years ago By Michael Happ • P-h Publisher
Last week marked the first time since mid-August that I didn’t have to spend my Friday night on the sidelines at a football game taking notes and shooting photos. So, naturally, I did what most normal thirty-yearolds do when they have a free Friday night: I had dinner with my nieces and nephews. Last weekend, my parents were tasked with babysitting a handful of their grandchildren. And, since they were already going to be making a meal for a host of hungry mouths, they invited me as well. After all, what harm could one more mouth at the dinner table do? While I always learn a lot when I am around my nieces and nephews, on Friday night, I had the chance to be informed about every detail that one of my youngest nephews had learned during a recent trip to his local fire station.

As of Monday morning, the South Loup River was up just a small amount from last week, 122 cubic feet per second (cfs), and the Middle Loup River at St. Paul was up quite a bit, with a reading of 775 cfs. We could tell it was up on Saturday, as we took the airboat out, and there were not really any sandbars to go around. With the hard freeze, the leaves are falling fast; the ash trees seem to be first to lose their leaves, where the cottonwood trees still have quite a few yellow and a few green leaves on their branches. Moses had a busy week. Wednesday is his day to go to school with Lisa. On Thursday, he spent the morning with Paul visiting the kids at ABC Daycare and some adults in assisted living, and, in the afternoon, he was with Jan. On Friday, he went with Jan to her quilting group.

Switzer to Retire Following Nearly Forty Years of Service to City

3 years ago By News Staff
In just a few days, the City of St. Paul will say goodbye to one of its longest serving employees. On Monday, October 31st, Water Commissioner Ronnie Switzer will retire, marking the culmination of seven years leading the city’s water depa r tment and just shy of forty years of service to the City of St. Paul Since being hired by the city as the sole employee of the municipality’s combined water and street department under Water and Street Commissioner Burgess Powell on February 14, 1983, Switzer has been on hand to help the city through many of its greatest disasters still in living memory—namely, the tornado of 1984 and the bomb cyclone of 2019. “I never imagined that I would ever be working for thirty-nine years for the city,” Switzer said during an interview last week. However, not too long after taking up his position with the City of St. Paul, the retiree had resolved “to become the head water operator,” an ambition he ultimately fulfilled.
