Gundersen Trust seeks to chart path forward Posted
Marshall Helmberger
TOWER It appears a “morass of conflicting auditor and attorney advice” may have contributed to the current woes of Tower’s Gundersen Trust. That was one of the conclusions drawn by trust member Steve Wilson, who has spent weeks researching the history of 30-plus-year-old trust.
The trust, in its early years, provided the city with anywhere from $20,000-$40,000 in returns on an annual basis, which supported city operations, education, and recreation.

TOWER- In the wake of recent snowfalls, the Howard Wagoner Ski Trails were set to be groomed on Dec. 24, and this year that task will be much easier than in the past.
With support from grants and other donations, the Wagoner Trails Club recently purchased a new utility grade snowmobile, capable of pulling the equipment needed to pack and groom the 12km of ski trails, located just south of Tower off Hwy. 135.
“The club had been paying a private individual to groom the trails with his snowmobile,” said Trails Club President Mary Shedd. “But his snowmobile was old and didn’t have enough power to pull the snow drag or our new larger track-setter.”
