Progress continues to be made on the renovation of the historic McMichel grain elevator in Harmony. The project is being coordinated by the Harmony Area Historical Society and continues to evolve as more is learned about the historic structure and its current condition.

The elevator was donated to the city by Jeff and Barb Soma and the local historical society is working with Robert Vogel of Pathfinder Cultural Resource Management of Spring Grove to determine the site’s eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places.

When we reach the end of the year and a new one lies before us, it is natural to reflect on many events of the past year.

These reflections may include a myriad of things: milestones reached in our own life and in the lives of family members and friends, as well as important events that occurred around the world.

Sadly, some of us have somber memories too, especially if we lost a loved one during the past year.

On that note, we must take time to pay homage to a most deserving soul, a “part-time, summer citizen of Preston,” is how I would describe this gentleman.

Both nail-biters were decided very late as the Lanesboro boys staged second-half rallies in both a win and a loss. In their second game at the Holiday Classic at Winona State on Dec. 30, the Burros turned back Class AA Cotter/Hope Lutheran, 66-59.

Four days later, the final basket belonged to LeRoy-Ostrander, which edged the visiting Burros, 72-68. Lanesboro left LeRoy with a 4-6 season record (1-5 SEC)
