A hearing aimed at figuring out whether Franny’s Bar in Starbuck was in violation of a city ordinance when a person who was under the age of 21 entered the bar, was less about guilt or innocence last Thursday, and more a question of when is the right time to change a city ordinance?
The city ordinance at the heart of last Thursday’s special hearing, which was enacted in 2004, states that no person under the age of 21 should enter a license liquor establishment unless for the purpose of eating, working, or gathering for a social event.
Franny Moen who owns Franny’s Bar, wasn’t contending a minor was in the bar on the night of Jan. 25, who wasn’t working or eating. The Starbuck Police Department was called to the bar after an anonymous phone call was reported to the Pope County Sheriffs Office stating that a minor was inside the premises. Instead Moen asked to council members, not to fine her or suspend her liquor license because the ordinance was vague, in the current way it’s worded.

 Glacial Hills Elementary School
In one way or another, school policies took up a majority of last Monday’s Glacial Hills Elementary School Board meeting. Whether that be scheduling a special meeting to discuss the list of policies in need of being passed, hearing of the policies needed by the Minnesota Department of Education, or simply discussing the various intricacies of the policies themselves.
One policy in particular, the student attendance policy, drew the most discussion when several of the board members questioned what, if any, discipline should be taken against students who are habitually tardy.

As his dad Joe looks on, Dylan Alexander stuffs his mouth full of food during the

of snow that fell on the area March 21, the Starbuck VFW was quite a busy place
throughout the fish fry.
