DASSEL-COKATO, MN – With absolutely zero opposition voiced Monday night at the Dassel-Cokato School Board meeting, members unanimously agreed to the conditions of the ground, and operating and usages leases that will allow the Dassel-Cokato Regional Ice and Sports Center to be built and operated on the north side of the school lot, across from the Performing Arts Center.
DC board member Tracy McConkey said he thought this was a “great situation for our school. They are going to build it, and we will get to use it,” he said, referring to the DCRISC board.
DC board member Kevin Bjork was also pleased with the agreements, saying they met the three major requirements the board had laid out before: the arena must operate debt free, it must be independent of the school district, and it must be occupiable within a reasonable time line.
Regarding liability at the proposed ice arena, Powers later commented, that per the agreement, the DCRISC will carry its own liability insurance and will not increase the school district’s liability. School events, however, are always covered by the district no matter where the student is, he added.

MEEKER, WRIGHT COUNTY – Daffodils are not only one of the first flowers of spring, but they are also a sign of hope for a future free of cancer.
The American Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Days begin today, with proceeds from the event going toward cancer research.
“Daffodils are considered a sign of hope that spring is coming and hope that someday cancer will no longer be a life-threatening disease,” said Julie Schrum, Daffodil Days coordinator in Meeker County.
According to the American Cancer Society, one in every two men, and one in every three women are at risk of developing cancer.
Not only is Daffodil Days a fundraiser, but a reminder of cancer’s affect on people’s lives, Schrum said.
For the third year, daffodils will be for sale at Gary’s Family Foods in Dassel. Volunteers will be selling the flowers Friday, March 19 from 3 to 6 p.m.
Daffodils are for sale by the bunch, $10 for 10, or a potted “Dainty Daffodil” for a $15 donation to cancer research (while supplies last).
Daffodils will also be on sale at Econofoods in Litchfield today (March 15) through Friday, March 19 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
For questions, call Schrum at (320) 593-7743.
