PHOTO OF THE DAY: GETTING BUSY
Freeman's Main Street was hopping Monday morning, which could be due to errands being run ahead of the incoming weather system. While it appears southeastern South Dakota will escape the brunt of the snow, there are still big questions as to what the moisture that is coming in will look like. Rain is likely early this week but there's a reasonable chance of ice in the days to come.

BELL TOLLS ON NEW WRESTLING SEASON
JEREMY WALTNER - EDITOR & PUBLISHER A brand-new wrestling facility like The Hangar at Freeman Public certainly doesn’t equate to success on the mat, but it certainly doesn’t hurt in building energy for the program, and that’s what head coach Chris Sayler is seeing at the onset of his 15th year as a coach for the Rebels.

POLICE SEEKING HELP AFTER BREAK-IN AT NORM’S
JEREMY WALTNER - EDITOR & PUBLISHER Nothing was stolen, but a break-in at Norm’s Thrifty White Pharmacy over the weekend has local law enforcement asking if anybody saw anything suspicious. According to Freeman Police Officer Jay Slevin, the break-in occurred around 7 a.m. Sunday when the perpetrators gained access by using a hatchet to break a back window. Slevin said he suspects the security motion alarm that sounded once they were in the Main Street pharmacy “scared them and they took off.

‘TO SING AGAIN!’
JEREMY WALTNER  - EDITOR & PUBLISHER When Maria (Tschetter) Paff moved back to Freeman with her husband, Brian and their two young sons in July of 2021, they did so primarily to be closer to family. But the opportunity to enjoy the fine arts that runs so deeply through Maria’s home community was certainly part of the appeal, which is why the 40-year-old couldn’t contain her excitement following the first rehearsal of the Swiss Choral Society the third Sunday night of October.
