Love letter to a small town

When I started my career, I lived in California. I grew up in Sacramento, a town of 1,000,000. I later moved to a small town up north, Redding. Redding was a town with a population of 100,000 where the shock of living in such a “small town” was difficult to adjust to. In these towns, I’ve worked around journalism for the past 25 years. I have always loved journalism. It is the reason I sought my first job in newspapers (accounting), just so I could be near the printed word in the hopes that maybe someday, my words could be on the page.

Lady Knights’ season ends at Section championship game

The Lady Knights ran into a hot Mayer Lutheran team in the battle for the Section 2A championship—and a trip to state—in a game played on Friday, March 11 at MSU-Mankato. Mayer Lutheran lead at the half, 28-19 and while the Knights came closer in the second half with 26 points to Mayer’s 30, it was not enough. Final score for State Tournament berth: Mayer Lutheran 58 St. Mary’s 45. “We had a hard time hitting shots in the first half and were down 9 points at the half,” said Coach Bruce Woitas. “The second half was more of the same—we did start to make shots but just couldn’t make the run we needed to close the gap.”

At all times, faith, hope, and love

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…” So begins the classic novel, “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens. It is the best of times.

Strengthening the Frontlines: SEMC makes strides through adaptability, resiliency during unprecedented times

The COVID-19 pandemic further emphasized the need for skilled primary care in rural areas, like that of Sleepy Eye. Shortages of all kinds since the pandemic’s start—from hospital beds, masks and medical supplies to COVID-19 vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapies— made adaptability the name of the game for Sleepy Eye Medical Center and healthcare facilities, as a whole. At the forefront of every change and decision, however, remained SEMC’s commitment to patients and the community.
