The Knights of Columbus sponsor a marathon for non-public education annually. Pictured are Christ the King students after they finished walking or jogging around the high school track for almost two hours. Parents and teachers joined the students while the KC’s punched cards for each lap. The KC’s also served hot dogs, chips and milk afterward. The students collected pledges and donations that go directly to Christ the King School. Pictured are Abe Salber, Scott Lieser, Julia May, Mitch Salber, Andrew Tichy, Patrick Hudalla, Krysta Pachan, Jesse Polak, Jordan Ostrowski, Daniel Determan, Mitch Lieser, Jordan Burns, Nate Pachan, Travis Burns, Aaron Remer, Karen Remer, Greg Salber, Jenna May, Joan Meyer, Raymond Krog, Kari Meyer and Kelly Hudalla.

Jon Miller looked over the damage at Jon and Rita’s Super Valu in Clarissa which was broken into early Monday morning. Clarissa police received a call reporting the break-in at 3:10 a.m. from a passerby who spotted two young guys who had thrown a large rock through the window of the store and took off with cigarettes. The person who reported the incident followed the men’s vehicle out of town for a while but lost it on a gravel road about two miles north.
