Friday mornings we have an activity we call “Table Talk.” It is a time of sitting around the table in the Activity Room or out on the patio if the weather permits, and talk about various topics taken from some conversation cards. We never know what responses we may get. It keeps things interesting.

As you may have noticed, Prairie Winds, the 2.3 mW wind turbine southwest of Osceola, hasn’t been operating for the last month. This was due to a pitch bearing for one of the blades that had failed. Over the next week, the repairs will be made by lowering the blades to the ground, replacing the bad bearings, and then reinstalling the blades. PCRPPD buys the output from this wind turbine but does not own and is not responsible for this unit’s repairs and maintenance. PCN photo by Beth Sparrow.

If you think you smelled something funny Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, you probably did. This wasn’t from the Canada fires. The Nuttelman Dairy near Stromsburg had a fire mid-afternoon Wednesday when some hay bales exploded and started on fire.
