Bluestreaks open state tourney looking for revenge against Eagles

ST. PAUL—Ending a 19-year state tournament drought, the Chisholm volleyball team is ready to step onto the biggest stage today when they meet Sacred Heart in a Class A State Tournament quarterfinal. For the fifth-seeded Bluestreaks, seeing the fourth-seeded Eagles may bring a sense of comfortability, as the two teams met back on September 26 at the Class A Showcase with Sacred Heart edging out a 2-0 (25-17, 25-22) victory over Chisholm. Seeing how the bracket was laid out this past weekend, ‘Streaks coach Pam Pioske said it was what she expected and what she had hoped for when it came to a round one opponent. “I was glad to see five because I really felt strongly that that’s where we should’ve been,” Pioske said. “I felt like Sacred Heart should’ve been four so I really liked how things came out. I thought it was spot on. We did play them earlier and lost to them in a close match but our main hitters had a really off couple of days at that tournament. Now, we’re on and we’re at our peak.

Chisholm Council hears concerns during working session

CHISHOLM—An estimated 60 people, including some members of the fire department and ambulance service, gathered at the Chisholm Senior Center this past Tuesday for a working session of the Chisholm City Council. “I would anticipate a few recommendations from staff at our next meeting,” City Administrator Ryan Pervenanze wrote in an email on Wednesday. “I think there are many areas of agreement with the council with most the important being their commitment to public safety as a whole.” “Over the next week or so I’ll work with our EMS Director and Fire Chief as well as the council to develop a path forward,” he added. The meeting was called at the October 28 regular council meeting, when the council tabled three potential resolutions to address a recommendation from McGrath Consulting that would prohibit any city employee, including part-time, volunteer to serve as an elected official. McGrath, in its report, categorized the adoption of such an ordinance as a Priority 1 recommendation, and identifies concerns regarding council oversight, supervision, perceived favoritism, and unconscious bias. Much of the discussion on Tuesday wasn’t centered around that recommendation, although feedback from those who directly addressed it appeared to question the logic behind the recommendation.
