The Deputy activated his rear opposite direction radar as the vehicle passed and clocked him at 95 mph. The Deputy pursued the speeding vehicle to attempt a traffic stop, but the vehicle did not stop and a pursuit started. The Cottonwood County Deputy ended his pursuit as the MN State Patrol took over the pursuit where the suspect drove recklessly by running multiple stop signs and driving at high speeds.

It is the last day of month in August and that means it is time to start switching gears to thinking about back to school and weather changes. Jessica Krick, Insurance Agent of Krick Insurance Agency had a couple reminders about kids of all ages heading back to school.
September is Life Insurance Awareness Month and Krick went onto remind us about the importance of Life Insurance.
With Fall starting to blow in, that can only mean that it is time for open enrollment and all the confusion of Medicare. Krick explained that although Medicare can seem overwhelming, it can be easy as ABC and D’s.
Krick Insurance is planning to have a Medicare Seminar that will be free to the public in October. Jessica went onto say she welcomes anyone that may have Medicare questions or for that matter any type of home, life, or auto insurance questions to give her a call at 507-831-3541 or stop by her office located on the square at 358 10th Street in Windom.
Reviewing your insurance policies with your insurance agent is a smart thing to do whether it is to add, take off or learn more about how you can protect yourself and your loved ones.
