A Cokato woman was injured Tuesday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Hutchinson at the intersection of Edmonton Avenue SE and Montreal Street SE.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Joyce Roseann Tabatt, 54, of Cokato, was northbound on Montreal Street in a 2006 Chevrolet Impala, and Kendra Rae Trudeau, 19, of Hutchinson, was westbound on Edmonton Avenue in a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu when the vehicles collided in the intersection.

The McLeod County Planning Advisory Commission tabled a request for a conditional use permit for two one-megawatt solar gardens near Lester Prairie at its Wednesday, June 27, meeting.

The Rev. Andrew Hermodson-Olsen has been the pastor of Grace Lutheran Church since January 1999, a little over 19 years.
Some community members were somewhat shocked to learn that the long-time pastor had accepted a new call to serve First Lutheran in St. James. To Hermodson-Olsen, moving is just a natural step of life.
Hermodson-Olsen’s father also was a pastor and, growing up, the family was used to pulling up roots every few years.
