Question: Hello, we read your column every week. I’ve noticed more often lately on numerous occasions that when a school bus is stopped and dropping-off or picking-up kids, they do NOT have their red lights flashing or their STOP arm extended. The bus will only have the yellow lights flashing. When searching the internet for school bus rules/regulations I can only find information related to how other drivers are required to respond, rather I’m interested in what the bus driver is required to do. I was unaware that there are potential scenarios where the bus driver is not required to force traffic to stop. My question: What are the rules/regulations with respect to a school bus that is stopping to drop-off or pick-up kids, when are they required to activate the red flashing lights and extend the STOP arm, rather than just activating the yellow flashing lights?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sadly, I woke up this morning to find 2 of my Harris/Walz and 1 Amy Klobuchar signs stolen out of my garden area. I purposely put them in my garden thinking no one would have the audacity to come into our yard and steel them! After driving around our area of Slayton, we saw that all signs that were displayed on streets were gone, none on the avenues.

After opening Re+Active WELLness in Pipestone in 2023, Theresa Stangle felt compelled to open a satellite office in Slayton in 2024. “I saw there was a need for options for physical therapy services in this area,” said Stangle, a Timber Lake, SoDak. native.

The MCC Rebels were at home for the second consecutive week on Friday, playing host to the Saint James Area Saints. The Rebels entered the game 2-2 on the season. The Rebels got a comfortable win in week one over LQPV but the next three games have all come down to the final minute of play, with the Rebels losing two of the three games. Saint James Area was 1-3 on the year with one of their losses coming by just one point to Windom. The Rebels wouldn’t allow this game to be close, as the Rebels defense was terrific and the offense played as well as it has all year.

The MCC Rebels were in Bertha, Minnesota for a weekend tournament to face teams they wouldn’t normally face in a tournament closer to home. It gave the team a chance to bond and play some competitive volleyball. This would be the first of back to back weekends of tournament volleyball, as the Rebels will play in the Jimmy Johns Classic in Marshall this coming Friday and Saturday.

The MCC Rebels were back at home on Tuesday night. The Rebels played host to the Edgerton Flying Dutchmen in a Red Rock Conference matchup. The Rebels and the Dutchmen are two of the teams in the middle of the Subsection 3A South standings and in the middle of the Red Rock Conference. With the season quickly coming to an end, each win becomes that much more important for teams hoping to host a first round playoff game. The Rebels would leave no doubt who was the better team on Tuesday.

There’s a chill in the air, the leaves are falling, and FOOTBALL IS IN FULL SWING! It has been an exciting season for the 5th and 6th Grade Tackle Football program this Fall.

Over the past few weeks, MCC has hosted HLO/F and RTR and has traveled to play TMB, Wabasso and Dawson-Boyd. Our teams will then travel to Minneota on October 5th and host Lakeview on October 12th.
