We were sad to see that Grafton Spoiler Athletic Director Jon Koehmstedt died this past weekend. He drowned while fixing a pontoon motor on Cass Lake. Jon was only 41 years old and gone way too soon. We are thinking about Jon’s family and the Grafton Spoilers at this time.

The 2025 National Women’s Hockey Festival U18 National team was finalized with a girl with Crookston ties making the team.
Bailey Rupp – daughter of Crookston High School grad Stephanie (Boll) Rupp, who is a member of the Bemidji Lumberjack Girls Hockey team. She also announced a commitment to play hockey at the University of Minnesota Duluth. What a week it was for Bailey!
Making the National team is a huge deal for many reasons, but the entire tryout process helps assist in the evaluation process for the 2026 U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team, set to compete in Milan at the Olympic Winter Games.
Team USA is also competing in the Collegiate Series against Canada this week (August 13-16) in Lake Placid as well.
All practices and games will take place at the Lake Placid Olympic Center in Lake Placid, N.Y. Nine Minnesota Girls made the team!
Other Minnesotans on the roster are –
Mia Miller (Dundas) of Nortfield High School
Emily Pohl (Woodbury) of Hill-Murray
Kateryna Sander (Chanhassen) of Holy Family Catholic
Talla Hansen (Wayzata) of Benilde-St. Margarte’s

JOKES
A man and his wife attended a dinner party at the home of their friends. Near the end of the meal, the wife reprimanded her husband. “That’s the third time you’ve gone for dessert,” she scolded. “The hostess must think you’re selfish and an absolute pig.”
“I don’t think so,” he said. “I’ve been telling her it’s for you.”

With all the new technology regarding fertility, an 88-year-old woman was able to give birth to a baby recently.
When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, various relatives came to visit. “May we see the new baby?” one of them asked.
“Not yet,” said the mother. “I’ll make coffee and we can visit for a while first.”
Another half hour passed before another relative asked, “May we see the new baby now?”
“No, not yet,” said the mother.
A while later and again the guests asked, “May we see the baby now?”
“No, not yet,” replied the mother.
Growing impatient, they asked, “Well, when can we see the baby?”
“When it cries!” she told them.
“When it cries?” they gasped. “Why do we have to wait until it cries?”
“Because, I forgot where I put it.”

A devoted wife had spent her lifetime taking care of her husband. Now he had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day.
When he came to senses, he motioned for her to come near him.
As she sat by him, he said, “You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what?”
“What dear?” she asks gently.
“I think you bring me bad luck.”

A girl was given a tea set for her second birthday. It became one of her favorite toys, and when her mother went away for a few weeks to care for her sick aunt, the toddler loved to make her father a little cup of tea, which was just water really, while he was engrossed watching the news on TV. He sipped each “cup of tea” he was brought and lavished generous praise on the taste, leaving the little girl immensely proud.
Eventually the mother returned home and the father couldn’t wait to show her how his little princess had been looking after him. On cue, the girl took him his “cup of tea” and he sipped it before praising it to the heavens.
The mother watched him drink it and said: “Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?”
