Officers from numerous police agencies may have had a surprised look on their faces Sunday afternoon after they apprehended the driver of a stolen cement mixer that eluded them for more than an hour. 

There will be two new faces on the sidelines of winter sports next school year as a pair of coaches have resigned from their positions.

The Triton Elementary School gym was a sea of posters filled with questions and conclusions about scientific questions last Thursday as the fourth and fifth grade students presented the results of their science projects.

West Concord’s City Council last week officially accepted the resignation of City Administrator Kay Hanson. Council members also received the 2015 auditor’s report that showed that the Municipal Liquor Store again finished the year with negative numbers.

Absolutely crazy.
That’s the reaction of most people as they digested what took place in Dodge County over the weekend. 
A wild police chase involving a stolen cement mixer truck in the Kasson and Dodge Center area has folks buzzing all across the country.
