In the near future, we will be splitting our blog into two sections — an “ED News Log” which will be strictly for factual news updates; along with the existing blog which will allow commentary on subjects from both staff members and readers.
We are making this change to better separate the division between factual information and opinion. Our staff members will be posting to both blogs on a regular basis, so check back frequently to see what’s new.
To forewarn parents who are expected to get a Suessical-type show, the upcoming “Ice Fishing Play” is meant to be enjoyed by adults. We deserve that once in awhile! Although humorous, the play does touch on some mature subjects and uses some mature language not suitable for young ears. Think of this as a PG-13 play. Tickets are on sale and the show begins next Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Other show times are New Year’s Eve at 9 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 6 at 2 p.m. Purchase tickets for $12 ($15 for special New Year’s Eve show) at Community Ed 286-4120. Enjoy the play at the Ergot building in Dassel!
Lifelong resident Carl Harju was appointed to the council, utility rates are nudging up after three years, and the city is looking for applicants for its EDA and P&Z.
This week I received a call from Michele (Rosin) McLane. She informed me she was on the 35 W bridge when it went down in August. Before our interview she had me watch her 30-minute video and testimony of that event. McLane will be at the Dassel Covenant Church Jan. 6 for those interested in seeing her video. See story in Monday’s paper for more info. Anyway, she says in her video that before that day, the bridge didn’t have a name. Now, that bridge is known as the 35W Bridge. It will be referred to that forever, same with 9/11 and other tragic events that made history.
The Cokato City Council instructed the Wright County Sheriff’s Office to issue real tickets — not warnings, as it has been before — for those who are parked after 2 a.m. along public roads that need to be plowed.
The teachers and the school board have yet to agree on a contract settlement. The teachers feel they took a below average settlement two years ago because of the financial uncertainties of the district. The board and negotiating team will meet Sunday night to see what they can come up with. See full story in Monday’s paper.
