Calling all athletes, health-conscious individuals, or those who would like to fulfill that New Year’s resolution to shed some weight: this summer, local residents will have the opportunity to participate in an exercise class.
Made popular in the 2010s, Max Interval Training (or High Intensity Interval Training) consists of intense bouts of exercise followed by a short rest period. Demonstrated to increase lean muscle mass and decrease body fat, this method of exercise provides large gains in a short amount of time due to the large number of calories burned per session.
The class is available to those of all levels of fitness age 14 and up. Personal trainer Tim Krohn will instruct the class and include modifications throughout to accommodate different fitness levels. Beginning June 2nd, the class will be held in the Ellendale gym on Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. Each session will last 30 minutes. For more information or to register, please contact Marilyn Dobberstein, Community Education Director, at (507) 417-2667.

Many veterans who served in the Korean War are eligible for the Korean “Ambassador for Peace” Medal from the Republic of South Korea. They can apply for the medal through the South Korean Consulate in Chicago.
To apply for the medal, veterans who served in Korea during the war can fill out an application and mail it to the consulate, or they can call her and she will mail or email the application directly to the veteran.
The medal is currently out of stock, but the Consulate will send the medal to eligible veterans who apply once they receive new stock (likely May or June).
The special medal is available to those who served from June 25, 1950 to March 1955.
