SAUK RAPIDS -- With two losses, the Willmar Cardinals cannot afford missteps against non-contenders in the Central Lakes girls basketball race. With Laura Nielsen scoring 17 points and nailing eight rebounds, the Cardinals never let the Sauk Rapids Storm (2-7, 4-8) entertain upset thoughts in a 62-41 win Friday. Willmar, which is chasing leader St. Cloud Tech, improved to 7-2 in the CLC and 11-4 overall. The Cardinals outrebounded the Storm 41-26.
The other morning while standing at the mirror shaving, I noticed something move behind me. A mouse had scurried in, stopped, and was watching me. Though not alarmed, I was surprised. With the type of house we have, underground and all concrete, it is unusual to have a mouse get in. My wife, on the other hand, would be both alarmed and surprised. Fortunately, she was still sleeping at this time. He sat there watching me with his beady, little eyes while I planned for his extermination. My first instinct was to slam the bathroom door shut and stomp on him.

Last month, I wrote a column about a measure that was inserted into the House-Senate Budget Reconciliation Bill without any public debate or hearing; inserted quite literally when no one was looking. Call it covert government. The provision by Reps.
