Playing at the #2 seed Windom Area on May 28th, St. James Area entered the final inning down big but climbed within a run before the final out in the 9-8 loss. Tanner Olson capped a strong career with the Saints by picking up four hits and three runs batted in, including a pair in his final at bat.
Beyond Reason: Uncle Tony
In the cooler months, Uncle Tony is a staple around the house. Uncle Tony’s usually up at dawn, sipping coffee, enjoying the sunrise, reading the paper. Then you might not see Uncle Tony until the evening. More often than not, Uncle Tony skips happy hour and dinner altogether, emerging to read to the kids, helping with bath time. On the weekend Uncle Tony might cozy up for a movie. But Uncle Tony is not a fan of the warmer weather. One of the first unofficial signs of summer are when it heats up outside and Uncle Tony goes to the basement until fall.
Remembering what life means
Within the last week we as a country have honored and lost people. We honored those who made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us and the future generations, with Memorial Day and programs that each city’s Legion has.
