Every Thursday, the jet turbine engine also known as the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper begins spinning itself back up to full speed. This takes place the day after Wednesdays, during which this turbine engine winds itself down to a full stop for rest. For today, the two big items on the agenda includes a track and field meet in Sauk Centre as well as a home baseball doubleheader in Elrosa. The forecast calls for rain later this afternoon, but hopefully it does not amount to much. It would be great if it rained after the sporting events are completed, but - of course - we can't control the weather, right?
A light amount of Easter coverage was published in the April 24 issue of the newspaper. The rest of it will have to wait until the May 1 issue. A video clip from Sunburg Free Lutheran church from Easter worship was posted at the newspaper's website. You can find it by clicking here: https://shorturl.at/Zr4go.
It became quite a day this afternoon...
And just like that! The news cycle took an interesting turn this afternoon when I saw about 8 police squad vehicles staging in western Brooten. By late afternoon, they descended on the rental home at 320 Prairie Avenue. I did not have time to camp out and watch, but I will have more information to post on this at the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper website tomorrow.

It's late on Thursday afternoon now, and I miss the sunshine! We had terrific sunshine on Tuesday. Today, we have fully cloudy weather. Boo!!!
Updates to follow here later this evening.
And here's the first update of the evening...
At Elrosa for the home opener, the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team defeated Royalton 9-3. This is game one of a Central Minnesota Conference doubleheader. The second game should begin at about 6 p.m. In the first game, B-B-E had an early 5-1 lead after two innings that held up.
**The fastpitch team went 2-0 in Morrison County tonight! Exciting!
