The Hartley Recreation Trail Committee didn't see this one coming. Members last week accepted a $100,000 grant from United Way in Spencer to help pay for construction of the trail. The money was made possible by a charitable trust established by the Heerde family of Milford, who charged United Way with selecting local causes worth contributing to. "There's no stipulations as far as we know, just a check for $100,000," said Laura Mohni, trail committee member. "We were extremely surprised and ext...
Retirement will bring with it some peace and quiet for Roger "Lefty" Ginger. "I think the biggest thing I'll notice is that I won't have a pager going off now," he said. Ginger, 76, will close the book on 50 years of service with Everly Fire & Rescue this Sunday during a special sendoff. The longtime volunteer admitted his retirement is a bit strange, but he's ready. "I'm a bit too old to cut the mustard, as they say," he said. "It's time for the younger generation to take over." A native of Pri...
Angie Heikens loves turning pages, whether in a good book or in life. The rural May City woman took over as director of the Hartley Public Library last week. Her rise to the top was quick – she started as the facility's youth program director in January and was recently approached by the board when the head position opened up.

To the editor: I would like to address Sen. Ernst’s letter in the Sentinel-News on March 23, 2023. There needs to be some clarification on the WOTUS she was addressing. It stands for Waters of the United States. It is designed to control the quality of water in rivers and lakes from pollution. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue.

This act has kept 700 billion pounds of polluti...
