Not one of the Boyceville School Board members has replied to my questions that I sent to them a week ago.  I asked if the following questions could be reported each month:  How many students and school workers tested positive to Covid in the previous month?  How many students were sent home because they were…

Who knew that parsley was such a nice flowerbed plant? Not me, and not my gardening partners in the Colfax Women’s Club. We actually decided on the parsley, and the sage, rosemary and thyme – when Mary Packer and I wandered down the aisle of herb plants at Klinger’s nursery last April. We chose that…

Hello! I was late to tonight’s board meeting by a few minutes, so I didn’t get a chance to sign in and sign up to speak during Item #5, Visitor’s Welcome and Comments. Perhaps no-one else signed up to give comments and that is why we were not offered the opportunity to speak. I did…

I read with dismay an opinion in the September 15th Colfax Messenger which purported to examine…
