HAPPY BUT NOT SATISFIED: Bluejays once again enter state playoffs with top south seed

After a thrilling comeback victory in the Section 3AAA championship, the Waseca Bluejays were obviously ecstatic making a return trip to the state tournament. But senior captain Brady McKenna made it clear in the huddle after the game: "I'm happy, I'm not satisfied. We got a lot of work to do." The Jays' season looked to be in doubt in the section title game against the Tri-City United Titans on Friday, Nov. 6 in New Ulm. They were trailing 24-14 in the fourth quarter, but they ended up scoring 14 unanswered points to punch their return ticket to state and get revenge over TCU in dramatic fashion. The Titans handed the Jays their only defeat in the regular season. Waseca's second straight 3AAA championship comes after a remarkable 2025 season that saw them go undefeated in the regular season and finish the season as the Class AAA runners-up. Now, there is no doubt that Waseca looks to continue their season for a few more weeks, hoping to make it back to the state championship game. "I'm really happy," McKenna told the Waseca County News after the section championship about the teams' goals past that. "We got a plan, it's just

Moore says Fry slandered her, county is negotiating in ‘bad faith’

When the Steele County Commissioners voted unanimously on Aug. 25 to pursue a contract with Dr. Kellyanna Moore, who has filled the coroner role since 2009, it appeared the Steele County coroner saga was close to a resolution. However, the negotiations between Moore and Steele County Attorney Robert Jarrett seem to have hit an impasse. The commissioners went into closed session, which the agenda cited as being protected under attorney-client privilege, following Tuesday’s board meeting and reconvened for the subsequent open session to publicly discuss the coroner contract structure. The discussion was spearheaded by Jarrett. His position was that the current services agreement as outlined provided no coverage options for claims related to coroner services—such as body transportation and workers’ compensation suits for those currently employed through Moore’s office—and that the Minnesota County Insurance Trust could not offer coverage. It was his belief that the gap in coverage could leave the county open to litigation in the future. As such, he said he refused to sign off on the services agreement as proposed. Moore contended that no claims have been made against her office during her time as the Steele County coroner and that her insurance as well as that

A Historic Minnesota Building Hides One Of The State’s Most Romantic Italian Restaurants

Old bank vault doors still stand at both ends of this dining room. Instead of guarding cash, they now watch over plates of fresh pasta. One detail I find worth mentioning is the name itself. It comes from an Italian word for a bank vault or cellar, which feels like a wink at the building’s past.

Traditional German Fare Has Filled The Tables At This 1930s-Era Tavern In New Ulm, Minnesota, For Generations

Ribs slathered in a house sauce so popular that people can buy it by the bottle to take home. That alone made me sit up and pay attention. Then I learned the ribs share a menu with schnitzel, spaetzle, red cabbage, and something called sauerkraut balls. The setting is a tavern that dates back to the 1930s, filled with old-world decor.
