McInnis selects Southeastern Community College for baseball

LE MARS — Le Mars Community pitcher Brett McInnis signed his letter of intent to play baseball for Southeastern Community College at a ceremony on Wednesday. “After this last summer season, I went to a lot of camps and I decided I was talking to quite a few coaches. Southeastern called me one day and they were straightforward with me. They gave me really some inspiration to come there. Ben (Beznoska), the pitching coach there, is a really cool dude and he’s talked to me, he’s worked with professional guys and he said that I have the potential to make it anywhere I want to. So, he really inspired me to go there,” McInnis said. “I didn’t think I was going to go the JUCO route at all, but then Southeastern stuck out to me a lot and talking to guys, I thought it was the best way for me to play professional baseball one day.”

A Young Crew Revitalizes Gutter Care in Cleghorn

In Cleghorn, a small town where tradition often dictates the rhythm of life, a young team is shaking up the status quo in a rather unexpected field: gutter cleaning. Huff Gutter Cleaning, a business that pairs youthful energy with solid experience, is redefining what it means to offer local home maintenance services. Founded in May 2024 by an enterprising local with seven years of experience under his belt, this company is not just cleaning gutters; it’s sweeping away preconceived notions about the industry. The company’s inception was as organic as its services. The founder, who also juggles duties as an EMT and a fire school student, spent years honing his skills by helping family and friends. This hands-on beginning laid the groundwork for what would become a thriving business focused on residential properties. Despite its recent founding, Huff Gutter Cleaning has quickly earned a reputation for its high-quality, affordable services, including gutter cleaning, roof sweeping, and downspout clearing.
