YME Trap perfect score recognition

When an athlete shoots a “Perfect Score of 25” they receive a 25 patch from the Minnesota Clay Target league. Also, for that 1st time accomplishment, YME Trap coaches chose to give those athletes a gun case as an extra bonus. The following Trap team participants were presented were certificates and the gun cases: Ryan Brouwer and Logan Hoff. Both accomplished their perfect score last season. “We would like to thank the Runnings store in Marshall, MN for the donation of a gun case for our young shooter(s),” says coach Sandy Berthelsen. This past week the team shot with the simulator. “I know the kids want to shoot outside but nobody is. So this is the next best thing. We hope to be on the range to shoot soon if the snow would ever stop piling up,” Berthelsen says.

Ask a Trooper

Question: Do I need an oversize or wideload permit to haul a boat lift that is over 9 feet wide to my cabin? Answer: You would need to obtain a permit because the width is over 8 feet 6 inches. Hauling oversized items without a permit or escorts (if required) can be dangerous and is illegal.

Cooler temperatures than average

After a winter storm brought snow to the region last Thursday into Friday, we had a very nice weekend. There was lots of melting going on both Saturday and Sunday as high temperatures were in the 30s and even into the lower 40s on Sunday. With light winds and plenty of sunshine, it was a very nice weekend for early April! I saw people out going for a walk and many snowmobilers enjoying the nice weather.

Garrison Keillor and Friends

At least once in your long and delicious life you owe it to yourself to go hear Olivier Messiaen’s “Turangalîla-symphonie” and don’t wait until you’re 80 as I did but finally last week went to hear the New York Philharmonic take us on this wild 90-minute roller- coaster ride in which Catholics are kidnapped and Baptists go Buddhist and you think in French and fly in a formation of geese and get a taste of molecular physics as horses go galloping down the aisles, and in the gorgeous slow passage “Garden of Sleeping Love” you will fall in love forever with the person next to you so be very careful where you sit. I sat next to my sweetheart and after years of thinking I was averse to modern music, here was a hymn to joy and time, movement, rhythm, life and death, with big Wagnerian chords, delicate intervals, a dozen percussionists, a genius pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and we’ve been happily married ever since.

Live Well, Age Wisely:

Typically Minnesota ranks high on all sorts of charts, whether it’s for US Census participation or quality of life. So I was a little disappointed when I read we are ranked 39th in SNAP Access.
