Kayrene Gilbertsen couldn't be more proud of her community. As it turns out, plenty of people in her community are just as proud of her and proved it when they voted to name her the 2015 Bald Eagle Day Parade Grand Marshal. Kayrene was raised here, but spent three years in New Zealand teaching elementary education when her family relocated there for a time. Eventually she returned to the area, married Gary Gilbertsen and had two kids, Karlin and Gabrielle. "My father was a real viking, so my...

SOME DAMPNESS--We got a bit of rain last weekend; it was nice to dampen the dust for a bit. Of course, if you had hay bales in the field, that wasn't so great but hopefully you were able to get them dried out with the sunshine on Sunday. Needless to say, the weather by Monday afternoon was "steamy" as the wet ground and sunshine made for an uncomfortable amount of humidity, so I'll be happier if we don't have much more of that! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from July 16-22 are Jerry Ledtke, Pam Elliott, Rick Benfit, Bev Moonen,...

My apologies to the readers for not getting a column in for the last couple of weeks and my thanks to all those who called to inquire if everything was ok. We are fine, but sometimes we have to step back a bit and get our priorities in order. Health and family has to come first, and hopefully everything else will fall into place.

WARM ENOUGH?--If you're a heat lover, you've certainly enjoyed the last couple of weeks, as it's been pretty toasty! I'm sure the folks selling AC units and fans have been happy for the extra sales and there's sure to have been an abundance of outdoor style furniture, BBQ's and coolers sold, so that's a good thing. I'm not so sure that the folks selling fireworks were quite as busy. Many errored on the side of caution and didn't buy any this year, but better safe than sorry. At any rate, I hope...
