A busy time for pothole fillers
This is a busy time of year for Jim Bell. Bell is Dakota County’s highway maintenance manager. That means he’s the guy in charge of potholes. And with the frequent freezes and thaws that come with the transition from winter to spring, business has been good.
When you’ve got some 450 miles of county roads to care for, that’s a lot of holes to fill.

When Amanda Christensen moved to Farmington last summer, she had no idea she was going to make history in her new community. All she knew was that she wanted to be a firefighter.
This week, she accomplished both when she sat down for orientation Monday evening.

As need grows, so does food shelf
A new location and a fresh infusion of volunteer help has organizers excited about the future of the food shelf in Farmington.
After 28 years at Faith United Methodist Church the food shelf will move in early May to an empty classroom at the former Farmington Kindergarten Center. The new space is three times the size of the current food shelf, and its location in a school district building means volunteers will be able to staff it during regular hours rather than opening only for appointments.

A life story contained in a single frame
A simple wooden frame hangs near Jean Salmon’s bed. What’s inside tells the story of her life. Or at least hits some of the high points.
Start in the upper left, with three small metal pins. Two are from the St. Paul School Patrol. The third, displayed in the middle of the row, is a merit award from the St. Paul Police Department. That’s one of Salmon’s favorite stories.
