Most Holy Redeemer Catholic School celebrated its fundraising goal’s exceedance in ways that would make a pig fly or maybe at least snort a little while being pet.
Fr. Timothy Sandquist said, “This year, our students, with the generous support of alumni and local businesses, raised $43,763. Of that amount, $25,000 will be matched by MHR alumnus Bob Washa.”
Le Center Volunteer Ambulance has been busy fundraising for their new ambulance. Recently they held Family Fun Night at the hall on Tuesday, Sept. 15, kicking off the start of their fundraising season. The ambulance crew had food, games, and a silent auction. That event alone brought in $12,696 towards the overall $450,000 goal to pay for the new ambulance and equipment necessary.
Residents of the Montgomery area gathered at the Revival on Main in Montgomery on Tuesday, Sept. 22 to hear from their local representatives at a Meet Your Candidates event put together by community member Jean Keogh.
To the editor:
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Marisa Ulmen as the DFL candidate for Minnesota State Senate District 22.
Knowing Marisa personally, I know firsthand that she possesses the qualities District 22 needs in a leader today. She is a hardworking individual of deep honesty, strong character, and unwavering integrity.
The Tri-City United Schools school board voted to close the primary building in Le Center at Monday’s regular board meeting, due to a failed boiler and no full need of the space. The building is located about a half block west of the TCU Le Center PreK-8 School’s main building at 160 North Mill Avenue.
The community is invited to watch an early-access viewing of “The Chosen” season six on Wednesday, Oct. 7 from 10-11:30 a.m. at St. John Lutheran Church in Montgomery. Only churches and parishes are eligible to participate in this early viewing.
Streaming of this first episode of season six begins Nov. 15 on Prime Video, but St. John Lutheran Church is inviting the community to watch this early viewing at the church.
Before he could even remember and being only about nine months old, Silas Vlasak of Le Center started having drop seizures. Drop seizures, unlike atonic seizures, are when a person looses muscle tone and becomes limp, causing them to fall in place.
The seizures Vlasak was having were a result of having epilepsy.
Last Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 22, a regular customer of Lonsdale’s Dollar General store crashed into the entryway of the building.
Lonsdale Police Chief Jason Schmitz said that the call came in at 1:57 p.m. for the incident, with Lonsdale Fire Department and Northfield Ambulance also responding.
“The cause of the crash was the driver failed to stop. We suspect the driver accidentally accelerated the vehicle instead of stepping on the brake pedal,” said Chief Schmitz. “Were just thankful no one else was hurt knowing how busy Dollar General is.”
Social media posting on Facebook has been all abuzz the last couple weeks about the roundabout in Lonsdale at Highway 19 and Rice County 2, which was completed less than two months ago.
The subject of the chatter is a large dip on the northeast corner of the roundabout that developed that is about four-to-six inches deep, about four-to-six inches from side-to-side and extends the width of the lane.
