• Houston's Madi Schwanbeck a lesson in courage, persistence (postbulletin.com) — A Houston High School freshman, three-sport athlete Madi Schwanbeck, has come through months of cancer treatment while still staying active with her Rushford-Peterson/Houston track team and Caledonia/Spring Grove/Houston soccer squad. Supported by her family and the wider Houston community, she finished chemo in July, rang the Mayo Clinic bell cancer-free, and is now inspiring classmates and coaches with her resilience and upbeat spirit.
• Peering at the Past – A Great Meal and a Muzzleloader (fillmorecountyjournal.com) — A new installment of a local history series revisits Captain Samuel McIntire's family journey through early Houston County, including a cramped night at the "seven by nine" hotel on the Brownsville–Caledonia road. Readers get vivid details of pioneer travel, hospitality, and hunting lore that shaped life in the Yucatan Valley and the broader Houston area.
