The older I become, the more amazed I am of the human body. When everything is working properly, we are quite a magnificent creation…a “well-greased machine” if you will! I guess as a young adult, I often took my health for granted, so I didn’t ever consider how intricate the human body really is.

Through a LYFT grant, Yellow Medicine East students have the opportunity to participate in a new opportunity to partner with Pioneer PBS for a video journalism program. YME teacher Tamara Isfeld applied for the grant, with the intention to focus on journalism opportunities by partnering with PBS, but also to work some with Southern Minnesota State University and other experts in the field to show students what rural journalism opportunities exist. “The goal is to teach them different skills to create so they can look at a possible career down the road, whether that’s with PBS or with someone else,” said Isfeld. The program began in mid-January, and last week, the students were able to tour the Pioneer PBS studio and meet with staff members to learn more about what goes into video production.

A Facebook page, titled Abandoned Minnesota, has gained a number of followers since it was created in 2020 by Mankato photographer Zak Rivers. Those group members share photographs of abandoned spaces throughout the state that have incited many conversations about memories involving those properties. Recently, one of the group's members shared a photograph taken in the mid-1960s by Owen V J (Jerry) Rude of the Pete’s Point bait shop that no longer exists. The photograph inspired numerous comments of group members' memories of the location, being one of the more popular posts in the group. Among those comments were remarks about memories of fishing at Pete’s Point, the phone poles with sturgeon and catfish skulls attached, dads playing horseshoes while children enjoyed orange sodas and fishing off the dock. One commenter wrote, “There are so many memories in this photo. Everything from the drink signs to the rowboat oar, cabins for rent. I can still hear the noise the screen door would make as it slams behind you.”
