Harman Park football field irrigation approved by Park and Rec

NEW ULM— Harman Park football field could be receiving much needed rejuvenation in the near future thanks to New Ulm Area Catholic Schools.

The donation comes from the New Ulm Area Catholic Schools (NUACS), whose 7-12 Cathedral Greyhound football teams have used the field for practices and games. The board also approved a stipend up to $500 yearly. The stipend will be charged to the schools if there are additional utility and maintenance expenses associated ...

Cut out by the in-laws

Dear Annie: I am engaged to a very loving man who is quite the lone wolf. Former issues in his past kept him at arm’s length (at best) with his family.

How may I help you?

Dear Heloise: Currently, it’s working for me to answer an unknown number with: “How may I help you?” If I get a few seconds of complete silence (a computer seems to wait for “hello”) or I hear a “boop,” I know to hang up. A legitimate caller will respond almost always with who they are. -- Carl Huber, Port Charlotte, Florida SALINE INJECTIONS Dear Heloise: I’ve attached a helpful hint that I’ve been meaning to send to you for a long time now. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen this hint in your column, but I may be mistaken. My beloved “Kitten Face,” who is 14 ...
