Wrestling trumps boxing.
 At least it did for Kyler Wegner in his first Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight in Aberdeen Friday night. The bout was short and sweet, lasting less than two minutes with a TKO the verdict.

 “Special K” may be a cereal, but there were 22 very special Ks – strike outs – in the Frazee Flames’ first win of the season Saturday at Henning.
 A “K,” of course, is the way a strikeout is recorded in baseball scorebooks.

Spring has sprung and summer is here.
 At least, last weekend seemed to indicate that temps are going to be out of the roller coaster range of 40-60 and stay near 70 or higher.

Vergas ELCA congregation to begin June 3

The “Waters of Grace” continue to flow.
 After having a small congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America established more than a year ago in Frazee, there is another putting down roots in Vergas.

Frazee native Paul Sailer was recently named the recipient of the 2012 Minnesota Aviation Writer of the Year Award at an annual banquet in Bloomington.

While the Frazee City Council had a rather low-key meeting Monday, May 14, the governing body decided to change its previous schedule for work focused on the city’s water supply and also approved a substantial expenditure for new radios for the police department.

The Frazee Flames may have a new manager this season, but they are still relying on things learned in the past. Cory Ketter will be the skipper of the Countryside team for the 2012 campaign.

 The rivalry will go on forever between two friendly battlers. And while Vergas has won games more often than Frazee, most contests are very competitive encounters.

Palace Cafe set to change hands June 2

Dennis Mayfield, owner of the Palace Cafe, Frazee, announced last week that he will step down from the operation of the popular food establishment at 111 Main Avenue West June 2.

I don’t think it’s too farfetched to call a local coffee shop or a favorite restaurant a microcosm of the world, reflecting its joys, problems and dilemmas. Even when they often seem unsolvable.
