Living to Serve during holiday season and all year
Some know this line - Living to Serve - as the last in the FFA Motto. For Sleepy Eye FFA members, service may be one of the first words they think of when they think of what FFA is all about.

Community Blood Drive successful
The Sleepy Eye Blood Drive on Jan. 4 had a great response from donors as the Red Cross continues to experience a severe shortage of blood. The goal for the community drive was 96 units of blood. Despite 14 deferrals and 18 no shows, 108 units were collected, including 71 whole Blood and 37 Power Reds. Caleb Siefkes was a first time donor
A reminder of Sleepy Eye parking ordinances
I would like to remind everyone about the parking ordnances in town both on a normal day and when a snow emergency is declared. The ordnance in town is that a vehicle must move every 48 hours. To comply with the ordnance the vehicle must leave the block to have considered moved. Going out every two days and rolling it forward one foot does not satisfy the ordinance.

From the Editor’s Desk
I promise, I am not going to get all deep into "truth" and "big lies" but I do want to follow up just a little on what I wrote last week. I published the same column in the Redwood Gazette and also published it online for both newspapers. When I publish on our websites I also provide a link from Facebook. I can track how many people looked at the article on the website, but Facebook is where I see comments.
Common warning signs of mental illness
Trying to tell the difference between what expected behaviors are and what might be the signs of a mental illness isn't always easy. There's no easy test that can let someone know if there is mental illness or if actions and thoughts might be typical behaviors of a person or the result of a physical illness.
