    The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda This is the third–and last– of “Three things I’ve learned.” (One hopes that one has learned more than that in this entire lifetime. But the rest isn’t at all clear, as those of you who are growing older probably agree. Don’t like; maybe just agree.)   I learned this on a service… Read More

    By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief Notes from the Chief… Well, here we are, another Turkey Days in the books.  Unfortunately, any news that happened will have to wait until next week as the press deadline is Friday at noon.   This was my 20th Turkey Days working as the ol’ Barney Fife. I started in 2006… Read More

    The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda Here is the next one, the second of three things I’ve learned, that may or may not be worth passing on. Number 2: Beware of what I call “false deadlines.”  “Deadline.” A strange term, when you look at it. It originated during the American Civil War, and literally originated in the Confederate Andersonville… Read More

    Ask A Trooper Sgt. Jesse Grabow Question: I see a lot of motorists pulling campers and trailers that don’t have experience or simply don’t know what they are doing. I see some crashes that I suspect are due to this. Can you talk about pulling campers and trailers? Answer: If you pull a camper or trailer with your… Read More

    Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver I’ve never seen 1997’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” all the way through. 11-year-old me was too young to see the R-rated slasher in theaters, which was just as well because I did see a trailer and lost many nights’ sleep over the killer’s deadly fishing hook. I eventually… Read More

    The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) lawn mower police are afoot! I was notified that because I was using an unapproved access (driving off the highway) I am now forbidden to mow or drive across Highway 87 right of way.  But rest easy girl scouts, ICE will be in your lemonade, not taking you away. Just… Read More

    By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief Notes from the Farm…Well, all the driving to South Dakota didn’t pay off. The pickup unit for the baler was about an inch off kilter. I used some spacers to get it attached to the baler, but there was a set of sprockets that were still an inch or more… Read More

    The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda For the next three weeks, these columns are going to be short. I’m calling this “series” of columns “Things I’ve learned that you might like to know about solving problems.” Maybe. That title is, I admit, kind of long. How about we call them: “Stuff I’ve learned.” Problems can come in many… Read More
