Three decades ago, in 1994, I was preparing to sail north to the Arctic's Northwest Passage for the first time. I had just completed a sailing expedition in 1992, where I sailed south to Antarctica and across the Antarctic Circle. During this voyage, we made port at Palmer Station, the United States scientific base after being battered by storms along the Antarctic Peninsula.

It was a couple of years back. Some friends and I had gathered for a day of fishing. The word was out that the walleyes on one particular lake were on the bite. When we arrived at the hot lake, there were many, many other anglers there also.

What a last week or so for all of northwest Iowa, southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota.

SPENCER — With Cherokee in town Wednesday, the Spencer baseball squad put on a clinic at Andy McGaffin Field of power and patience, racking up double digit hits and earning seven walks to keep the base paths busy. The demonstration resulted in the Tigers’ scoring its second 10-run win, 12-2, over the Braves, sweeping the season series with the Braves. The victory allowed Spencer to pick up its third Lakes win and improve to 12-6 overall.

Sioux Central picked up the team’s 13th and 14th wins with victories over East Sac County and Storm Lake St. Mary’s, Monday and Wednesday. Threatening weather loomed against the Raiders earlier in the week, with the Rebels successfully completing one of the region’s few games earlier in the week. Near ideal conditions greeted them in their early finish on the road midweek.
