With Halloween coming, there has been more and more talk on the radio about scary things like ghosts in photos and Ouija boards. Yesterday, KQ 92 talked about photos with ghosts in them. They can be viewed on the web site. They’re FREAKY, but I love that stuff. This morning, a listener called in to KS 95. Her kids once played with the Ouija board and her house was then filled with “spooks.” Radios came on, doors slammed shut, she even had to tell a female ghost to go away. I love Halloween! What I want to know is, are there any ghosts in DC?

Dassel Planning Commission will try again tonight to meet about Mike Corcoran’s plans for a housing development on the south shore of Spring Lake. The commission was supposed to meet two weeks ago but only two of the members showed up. I’m curious about Corcoran’s plans. There doesn’t seem to be enough land on the south shore for housing. Highway 12 is right there, and some of the land looks swampy. We will have the full story Oct. 29 in the Enterprise Dispatch.
Yesterday I interviewed Jeff Loven of Jeff’s Shed for a story Oct. 29 in the Enterprise Dispatch. By sheer luck, I found a little white ceramic girl playing a guitar there, for a Nativity scene collection I have. I have two Nativity scenes, one is clear glass, and the other is white ceramic. I expanded them to include more than just Mary, Joseph, shepherds and wisemen worshipping the baby Jesus in the manger. They include animals and people standing all around the Holy Family. It’s very difficult to find pieces that match. The pieces have to be the right size to be in proportion with Mary and Joseph, and the pieces can’t have any paint on them. It was serendipity at Jeff’s Shed, though. I found the perfect addition to my white ceramic set.
Although I think hunting bears with a bow is a little crazy, the presentation in Cokato scheduled tonight was attended by my husband and son,and they said it was good. They found presenter Dale Miller of Howard Lake informative and interesting. “It’s safer than people think,” my husband Brian Jensen said. Do you think the life insurance policy people will allow me an exception for bear maulings? Hmmm. I think not.
After two years of failed levy referendums, the subject matter is getting rather old. I’d like to be able to report on something else like the school getting Smart Boards for instance, like other surrounding school districts have. The Litchfield Independent Review reported getting this ingenious technology, as did the Annandale Advocate and the Hutchinson Leader. Delano, as well as Howard Lake also have this new form of technology. Smart Boards are interactive white boards using a computer and a projector. This is a long way coming for DC since they can’t even keep up with technology they currently have. Smart Boards, though not neccessary in every classroom, is the new wave in teaching. It’s like the white dry erase boards replacing the black chalk boards. This is the next step, but with a possiblity of another failed levy and the inability to keep up the technology and software the district currently has, this is a pipe dream for DC. It would be nice to see DC move forward and not backward for a change.
We nearly missed the third suspect, Stephen Munsinger of Cokato, who was charged last week, as reported on the front page, since we got wind of it while going to press Friday. It was hastily added. Nevertheless, it was pointed out to us by Munsinger’s mother, in no kind words, that her son wasn’t arrested at the apartment, but at his home in Cokato Township . . . therefore, please note this change.
