Funded by retired journalist Jeff Baenen, the award could expand in future years, and community members are invited to support additional Perpich residential scholarships through online giving or by working with school leadership.
   

• Stine's Huge Day Leads Tigers to 36-0 Victory (kvsc.org) — High school football fans in Golden Valley saw St. Cloud Tech dominate Breck 36–0 in a rainy home game, powered by four first-half touchdown catches from junior receiver Everett Stine.

  • This cat (no tag, can't feel a chip, but seems like it belongs to someone because it's so friendly) has been hanging around our house in Golden Valley the last couple months but has been especially chatty and attention-seeking lately.
    They have spent most of the day in our yard today and even came back when they saw my wife came home. They sit outside our house and meows a lot… (Nextdoor Spruce Trail / Westurban)
