Shoe Swap now open
The Show Swap doors are open. What does that mean for the YME students, school, and community? If your student is participating in a YME school-sponsored sport and needs to upgrade their shoes to a bigger size, they can bring their gently used, clean, too small shoes in and swap them for a bigger size. No more rushing to the nearest “city” store or crossing your fingers while you wait for an online order to arrive. “Think of it as a community shoe closet”, said Erica Martin. Follow the Shoe Swap on Facebook or Instagram at SwapAPair. Organizers may put out requests as needed for specific sport shoe or shoe sizes.

Ritalka, Inc. celebrates 25th anniversary
When Kevin Wald started Ritalka, Inc. in March of 1997, it was housed in a single room of his home – a house built by C.A. Fosnes in Montevideo. At the time, Wald says he had no grandiose plan for how large the company could grow but knew he wanted to try his hand at being an entrepreneur. Wald, who had grown up in Pierre, South Dakota, was a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics. He had started his career in Los Angeles, where he worked on ballistic missiles for land and submarine launch platforms. From there, he moved to Minnesota, completing his MBA at the University of St. Thomas and moving into a career at a company in Benson that was on the brink of becoming Case New Holland. “I knew they were getting ready to sell. I had already worked for a large corporation back in the 80s. I wasn’t excited to be with a large corporation, and so I decided I wanted to try the entrepreneurial thing,” Wald says.
