When it comes to snow and winter in Minnesota, there are two types of people. Those who embrace the snow and cold and love it, and those who don’t love it at all, and basically dread it coming. I am one of the latter. I came to this realization while driving home in a mini-blizzard from ...
It was back in the later 1960s and early 1970s that the Hippie Movement was in full swing. I remember those days pretty well, as those were my high school and college years. I guess you could say I was a pseudo-hippie, of sorts. I wore my hair long, mainly because I could not afford a ...
Hopefully you spotted our latest magazine, which is inserted in most of the Faribault County Registers this week. It is our annual Community Focus magazine. This is where we try and focus on some stories about things which are going on in our Faribault County communities – and giving them ...
It seems like it has been an awfully long time since we last handed out the famous Cheers and Jeers in this column space. So this week, we return once again to hand out some praise to those who deserve it, and maybe a bit of criticism to those who also deserve that. And, sometimes there are ...
So, I guess I have to start this column off with a confession. There might have been a pinup poster in my Bethany Lutheran College dorm room back in 1968. You might not ever guess who it was so I will just tell you. Raquel Welch in the movie One Million Years B.C. Don’t ask me why. I had ...

I got a rather unnerving phone call one day last week. And no, it was not from some irate Register reader. The call came in on our new phone system here at the Faribault County Register office. You see, we have become modernized with our phones. We no longer have that usual office phone ...
“Round round, get around, I get around. Yeah, get around round round, I get around.” The Beach Boys’ “I Get Around,” May 1964. If you are around my age, you are going to be singing this song the rest of the day. Sorry about that. I will admit, I like the Beach Boys and I have ...
As you can probably tell by the number of photos in this week’s Register, it was Back to School Week across Faribault County. The staff from the Register tried to get to several schools on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for some pictures of kids – and some adults – on the first day of ...
I have been hearing a lot of comments lately about what is in the Faribault County Register. Well, truthfully, I always hear from folks about what is in the Register, but it just seems like lately there have been more comments. Now, that is not necessarily a bad thing. For one, it means folks ...
