FROM THE LEGISLATURE: DISTRICT 20 COLUMNS

“Cuppys Corner”

Darleen Cuppy wrote her Cuppy’s Corner News Monday forenoon. Delia Atkinson came to get it later. It was very cold and windy again! Darleen enjoyed the sweet & sour chicken dinner from the Manor kitchen. The Spartans boys played Sunshine Bible Academy at 1 p.m. Spartans won 71-19.

Cuppys Corner

As I write my news it is a very cold and windy day in Wessington Springs. Darleen Cuppy wrote her news last Monday morning, Kristi Hine got it later in the forenoon. Darleen enjoyed the roast beef dinner from the Manor kitchen. We received a lot of snow.

Look towards the future — and the next elected official

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The legislative session is about to start up again for the year.
