On the scoreboard, it didn’t look like the Kasson-Mantorville football team had a lot to cheer about in a 26-7 loss to Rochester Lourdes. However, the KoMets could take pride in several things that went right on Friday in a game where they took on the top-ranked team in Class AAA.

Apparently being parked outside the police station isn’t exactly scared and free from violent outbursts, even if it’s a law enforcement vehicle.
Such was the case over the weekend at the Kasson police station.
A 14-year-old boy has been charged with a felony in connection with the beating of a squad car Friday night.

Julia Beth Oswald passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 8, 2015, at the age of 23.
Julia was a vivacious, feisty and bright young woman. She brought light and happiness to everyone she met. She could be whatever you needed at any given time; an advocate, a defender, a shoulder to cry on, a truly rare great friend. She will be sorely missed by all.

Despite a physical disability, Craig Aarsvold carries on with life just like anyone else, and he’s using the 4-H program to prove it.
The Dodge Center teenager operates with only one arm as he was born without a right arm. He’s actually pretty handy when it comes to making things as he made a shop project in 4-H and won a trip for the first time to the Minnesota State Fair last week. 

By now most of you have likely heard or read about Cecil the Lion. While I feel for the lion, the reaction it has caused is outrageous.
