“Since we really didn’t have a spring, it’s hard to believe that graduation is only a few days away,” remarked High School Principal Tim Raabe. “Reality didn’t seem to strike until I flipped the calendar page.”

Living with MS: how one young woman inspires others

Skiing and shopping…how much better can it get when you are 15 years old? Rachel Jaspring, of Chancellor, was enjoying a vacation in Colorado with her cousin. On the third day of her trip, she woke up with cloudy vision in her left eye. She kept rubbing at it. Maybe she had pinkeye, she thought, and it would get better. Being a typical teenage girl, she wasn’t going to let trouble with her eye ruin her trip. 
But her eye didn’t get better. It kept getting worse. Rachel kept it to herself, thinking “I love skiing, I’m not going to say anything. I don’t want to go home.”

Responsibilities of Park and Rec Board become more defined

Lennox City Council held a special meeting on April 16. The main focus of the meeting was a discussion with the Park and Rec Board regarding the board’s responsibilities.
Chad Wulf opened the discussion as a member of the baseball/softball sub-committee on the Park and Rec Board.  He explained to the council that they were switching the girls’ teams to a league in Sioux Falls that would provide them with more structure and pitching at younger ages. Umpires and insurance are provided by the league. Sponsorship for each team is $200; Wulf asked for funds to be released to pay for the five girls teams. Each girl pays $45 to be on the team, so the funds could be taken from their registration fees. Wulf was to meet with the league on Tuesday for a scheduling meeting. Wulf said the committee felt that by switching to this league, they would keep more girls playing in the community.

 Clean-up continues after storm 

Although not all the homes in Lennox were as affected by the storm as Mavis Steever’s home (pictured above) on Garfield, there was hardly a yard that didn’t have branches down. Last Tuesday’s ice storm was followed by heavy wet snow. Warmer temperatures quickly helped melt a lot of the ice, but the community was left with broken tree limbs and damaged power lines. Many people in the area also experienced power outages, lasting from a few minutes to several days. Xcel Energy reported sporadic outages throughout the Xcel Energy service area and many single services that were damaged due to ice and falling tree limbs. Southeastern Electric also reported outages. Both companies reported that except for those who needed electricians to fix wiring at their homes, all their customers had power. To help deal with clean-up, the City of Lennox opened the rubble site last Saturday and Sunday. The rubble site will continue to be open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. from now on, said site manager Don Maguire.
