GONE FISHING
JEREMY WALTNER - PUBLISHER Participation numbers were down and the fish weren’t biting much, but considering the nature of what organizers were up against, the 17th annual Freeman Fishing Derby held Saturday morning, June 17 is being declared a success. “With everything going on, I was happy with it,” said Sam Sorensen, who notes that the number of registered participants — 49 — was down slightly from last year’s 55, but that was largely due to a host of other activities taking place that day, including three youth baseball and softball tournaments.

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN: MATILDA AND MIXED FEELINGS
When “Matilda, Jr.!” takes the Pioneer Hall stage this Sunday evening, it will be a bittersweet affair — bitter in that it serves as a reminder of the Schmeckfest musical that never saw the light of day and sweet in that this endearing story is finally making its way to an audience in Freeman. Since last week, 31 youngsters in grades 4-8 and two directors associated with the Freeman Area Children’s Choir have been preparing the junior version of the story made popular by British author Roald Dahl for Sunday’s performance. Curtain is 6:30 p.m.
