Evelyn Lavonne Suhr, 91, passed away peacefully in her sleep early Thursday morning, April 7th, at the Fairview Care Center in Dodge Center where she had resided for 16 days. She had been a resident at Prairie Meadows Senior Living Center in Kasson since August of 2012.

As Cody Snow, 29, works his field on the outskirts of Kasson, he notes the positive.
“We have good moisture for planting,” he said. “It is making for good germination.”
Snow has a concern shared by most farmers, though. This field corn farmer is concerned about the future moisture.
“I’m hoping for a good season,” he said. “But we are hearing it is supposed to be a hot, dry summer. That would create some problems.”

Kat Perkins had one simple, yet important question.
“What would you be doing if you weren’t afraid?” Perkins asked the students at Kasson-Mantorville Middle School and high school last week.
Perkins, a season sixth finalist on the popular show “The Voice,” spoke to the local students and faculty at both schools in hopes of inspiring them to achive their goals.

The Kasson-Mantorville softball team is looking to establish themselves early this season. Even though their week started with a loss to Zumbrota-Mazeppa, the KoMets were able to do that by defeating Lake City and picking up a big win over Osseo to improve to 4-1 on the year.

The Kasson-Mantorville track and field team got its first meet of the season in on a beautiful Friday afternoon hosting Red Wing and Glencoe-Silver Lake. The meet proved to be a great opportunity to set a baseline as the season gets underway.
