The intersection where Madey Kleve was killed outside of Annandale (Highway 55 and Wright Co. Rd. 6) has been found short of enough traffic warrants (meaning criteria that the state requires to install traffic devices), according to Wright County Commissioner Dick Mattson. However, it may be possible the county can square off this intersection for better sightlines. “I spoke with the District 3 representative and the traffic count did not meet anywhere near the count for a traffic signal,” Mattson said. “But I have not spoke with our county highway engineer Wayne Fingalson yet, but County Road 6 will be redesigned to square off this intersection for better sight line on Hwy 55, District 3 has seen the design and told me (last week) it would greatly improve that intersection.”

We’ll publish the correct answer – and the name of the person who first identifies the mystery photo – in next week’s Enterprise Dispatch.
It’s been awhile since I have blogged about my NASCAR fantasy league so I thought I would give ya’ll an update.
The excitement of picking a driver for the week, watching the race, and patiently waiting for the results from our league administrator is still a high point of the latter part of my week.
I am certainly a rookie at this sport and with each race I learn something new. The accidents on the track still get me a little worked up but hey, I’m a mom and I’m a girl….that will never go away, so I am a rookie with feelings. I am getting tougher though – I am not quite so worried if the driver is ok, after getting rear ended (like Dale Jr. got going into pit road on Sunday) or when a driver gets bounced off the wall. The inside of those race cars are really dressed for safety. Each driver looks like they are packed in those cars like sardines, but they are packed with a lot of safety gear that really protects them from the crashes that no doubt happens at every race! Thank God for technology in the racing industry.
If you’re wondering where I am standing in my NASCAR league, here are my stats.
For two weeks I was in first place, I dropped to second place the third week, weeks four, five, and six I have been holding on (for dear life) in first place. (6th wk in 1st is after the New Hampshire race on Sunday, June 29).
Race fans, what do you think? I am taking suggestions on who to pick for the Coke Zero 400 in Daytona Saturday, July 5. Reply with your suggestions. All are welcome!

Now that the foundation is completed on the Gust Akerlund Studio, it is once again open for visitors. If anyone is expecting any out-of-town visitors and is looking for something inexpensive to do, always remember our local historical societies and museums. There are a lot of interesting things to be seen and explored right here in DC.

Discussion is taking place regarding the possible move of the Kingston Kings from Kingston to Cokato’s Veteran’s Park. The park would need some upgrading to be able to accommodate adult men’s baseball including water. What are the thoughts regarding this possible move?
