Due to the impending snowstorm that this area is currently experiencing, B-B-E schools are set to open 2 hours late on Wednesday, April 2. No fooling around out there! As of 9 p.m. tonight (Tuesday), we have 32 degrees and snow falling in Brooten.

"Not all drivers are blind: many just act that way"
Re-printed from the Grand Rapids newspaper
It is estimated that a third of the automobiles upon the highways are unsafe for many causes. Sometimes the trouble results from defective tires or brakes, but many times the difficulty is with the driver. A citizen of Grand Rapids tells the case where a car was being driven by a man, upon whose lap sat his child, about 12 years old. The man was blind or virtually so. He worked the clutch, brakes and throttle. The child steered the car, and right into an accident.
Wednesday afternoon update: B-B-E schools is closing at 2 p.m. today. The snow is becoming relentless! This was after I saw "1 to 3 inches" in the forecast earlier today.
