PLEASE Show Support for Claudia

Just a reminder that Claudia Boelman's court date is September 2 (this coming Tuesday).

Please go and show our support for her.  The more of us that go and be counted, the better Claudia's chances are.

We are here for you

It has been almost 2 weeks since anything new has come on our main blog site.  The only activity there has been that some of the posts have had all comments disappear so not sure what is going on with that.  

I am posting this note to remind you all that this site is open and working in case you want dialogue to continue.

Original Sisseton Blog Site is OPEN again!!

I'd like to announce that our old Sisseton blog site is back up and running again.  Our long-lost administrator there has fixed the problem and able to run that site now.

As such, this site will not be needed from now on.  I intend to leave it up and running just in case something happens again.  But from now on, you can post on the other site.  You can post on both sites if you like, but the other site will be the "official" blog site from now on until further notice.

Hopefully I have filled a purpose while our main site was broken and hopefully I won't be needed anymore.  My only purpose was to keep the dialogue going and I think it did.

No matter what happens they will NOT shut us down!!

Recall Commissioner Hull?

There has been mention of Hull being the "ringleader" or "troublemaker" among our 

county commissioners.

Rather than wait until he comes up for re-election down the road and suffer the wrongs done by him and the others in that circle.....does anyone want to take the lead here and begin a recall petition to remove his voice from the local discord and perhaps gain a new unbiased commissioner?

Please let us know what your thoughts are, what you would like to see happen and when??

I have set up a new poll so we can see how many believe Hull is detrimental to our county.

Please check it out and vote.  Comments are welcome!

Area Storm Damage

We'd like to wish all the wind storm victims a speedy recovery from last weeks high winds.

Winds were clocked at over 115 mph lasting more than 2 hours which did a lot of damage.

Several area towns were without electrical power until last night.  Some are still without power.

This damage leaves scars that will be visible for a long time to come as many of the trees torn out were large mature ones.  Along with loss of trees, many structures were destroyed or badly damaged.  The worst of the damage seems to be along highway 12 from Aberdeen to Summit and east with a swath of 40-50 miles wide.  We heard this storm went all the way to Chicago.  That's akin to having an F-2 tornado on the ground from central South Dakota all the way to Chicago....think about that.

There is still a lot of clean-up left to do. If anyone wants to volunteer their time or energy I am sure it would be most welcome.
