The University of Vermont plays The University of Minnesota tonite the game is a homecoming for Vermont sophomore Jill Rademacher. she is a native of Holdingford She led Holdingford to a record of 19-7, the best mark in 23 years as a senior in 2004-05. Rademacher was a three-time Central Minnesota All-Conference First Team selection and also earned a spot on the All-Subsection 19 First Team. She was a 1,000-point scorer (1,231 points) and is the first student-athlete from Holdingford to earn a scholarship to a Division I school. She is just the second Minnesota native to play for the Catamounts. I know she will do well but I still want Minnesota to win.

Beautiful weather
Because of the beautiful weather. The three houses on the south end of town are really coming along quickly. I was talking to one of the construction workers and he was saying because of the fall work slowdown. These houses have moved up into top priority. What with the warm weather. And not much work. The other day there there were so many workers on one house it looked like one of those, tv shows where they get a house built in a few days. Well maybe not quite that fast.

Crazy Driver
A speeding truck missed a slight corner and ran over a fire hydrant in town, on County 17 knocking it about 15 feet, than hit a telephone pole, causing it to break about 10 feet off the ground. This person must have been really moving. (reported to have been a red truck) This happened about 3:15 Sunday morning. The driver backed up and sped off. They were able to tract the oil leak for a short while. What amasses me is 1. the vehicle still ran and 2. The driver who must have been 'on' something was able to still drive. I was not happy as power was off to town for about 9 hours. Monday they had to go back and fix something else, it was out for another couple of hours. Not a happy community !! I hope they can catch this person.

Holdingford Spanish class learns Mandarin Chinese
A cool experience for the students of Dana Schindele Paulzine's Spanish class at Holdingford High School. They got a chance to learn a little Chinese. It was part of a movement in Minnesota to recognize China's importance to the global economy and expose teachers and students to the language Minnesota Department of Education efforts include starting to train people to teach Mandarin Chinese. Qualified teachers are difficult to find right now, Holdingford Superintendent John Haas said.
It was Haas, who is in his first year at Holdingford, who jumped at the chance to have the China delegation at the high school for several hours.
"We don't have a lot of different cultures in Holdingford. It would be good to expose as many students as we can to a different culture."
Heres a link to the whole article in the
St Cloud Times There is a video also.
