It was a story that brought a white-hot spotlight to Blooming Prairie and Dodge County, one that couldn’t go away fast enough for some people.
Lois Riess, who killed her husband Dave at their Dodge County home in March 2018, then fled to Florida – where she killed Pamela Hutchinson, a stranger who befriended her – is back in the news.

In April 2019, Ross Glazier lost his wife Cindy to her battle to cancer. The couple lived in the Mantorville area since 2003, and Cindy was well loved within the community.
He knew he wanted to honor his wife’s memory, so soon the Cindy Glazier Outreach for Children Foundation was formed.

A cast member once quipped, “If Neil Simon had written a melodrama for the Addams Family, it might look like this!” It was a dark and stormy night as a young innocent couple approaches a creepy mansion, uh, oh… but instead of screaming, don’t be surprised to find yourself laughing at The Wedding Will Out or Night in the Nutt House written by Greg Miller and directed by Becca Messick!

Growing up in the 1950s and 60s, many of the statements and descriptions I heard probably would be considered inappropriate by today’s standards.  Most of my relatives had a high school education or less and were plain spoken people. They called a spade a spade. I never knew what kind of spade they were referring to, but it meant you called it like you saw it without sugar coating anything.
