Triton High School FFA members were recognized at the Region VIII banquet at Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School last week including Brianna Fitzgerald as Region VIII Star Farmer and a finalist for state Star Farmer and Jack Crowson as Region Star in Agribusiness.

Claremont City Council and EDA members got a look at the expansion plans for the Al-Corn plant. This as they consider a tax abatement or alternatively tax incremental financing to help with the expansion that includes the widening of 5th Street.
The council also agreed to work with the engineering firm of Bolton Menk to determine the costs involved in widening 5th Street.

I spent the weekend in Iowa City enjoying the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials. It was a blast! I enjoy being part of the media pool for such events and this was no exception.  Being right there on top of the mats and watching the best wrestlers in America battle it out for spots on the USA Olympic team was and is nothing short of epic.  I met old friends and made some new ones. 

Don’t panic when civil defense sirens blow throughout the region later this week. It will all be part of a drill, but hopefully it will serve as a stern reminder to get ready for tornado and severe thunderstorm season.
This week is severe weather awareness week and tornado sirens will be activated on Thursday at 1:45 and 6:55 p.m. in an effort to get folks ready for the upcoming storm season.
