Burnished coins change hands as readers grab deals at the book sale. The midway blinks with flashing lights and sounds. And of course, there’s the flash and sequins that come with coronation.

DC School Board receives positive review from MDE on bond-related projects

FOR SUBSCRIBERS:

Big decisions are coming soon for Dassel-Cokato residents, as well as several members of the school board.
First, the board took another step forward toward its Tuesday, Aug. 9 special election.
The district received documentation from the Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner, which provided a positive review and comment for projects that would be funded if the bond question on the Aug. 8 ballot passes.
The letter from MDE stated, “based on the department’s analysis of the school district’s required documentation and other pertinent information from sources of the Minnesota Department of Education, the Commissioner of Education provides a positive review and comment.”
District Superintendent Mark Raymond said other requirements included publishing the documentation (see elsewhere in this issue) and having an open meeting, so people could come and ask questions about the project.

Knuth handcrafts safe spaces for area songbirds

FOR SUBSCRIBERS:

Marlow Knuth of Dassel has constructed several specific bird habitats at his home on Little Swan Lake.
Birdhouses have become essential in protecting the species. According to the Audubon Society, putting up birdhouses is a small but vital step in providing suitable nesting areas for native bird species.
Birdhouses like Knuth makes in his workshop are a critical component in protecting songbirds.
Although any birdhouse will likely attract birds, selecting the correct size and placing it in the right location helps attract specific species of songbirds.
