COLERIDGE — Parents’ Night held an exciting surprise for a Coleridge senior Thursday.
Throughout her four years on the Lady Bulldog basketball team, senior Taylor Olsen has been a scoring machine.
The timing couldn’t have been better as last Thursday during her last home game and Parents’ Night, Olsen reached an impressive milestone by reaching 1,000 points in her high school career.
Hitting a long two-point shot early in the fourth quarter put her over the mark by one point.
Olsen’s team and fans exploded with excitement, but she had no clue why. Near the end of the game, with 20 seconds left on the clock, Coach Ken Swanson called a time out so she could have her moment in the spotlight.

COLERIDGE — A group of area residents recently proved that a little innovation plus a lot of labor can add up to some big things.
A huge volunteer effort by area residents has resulted in new fire equipment for the Coleridge Volunteer Fire Department.
The fire department now has a quick responce fire truck with a grass rig which will be used to carry water and tools to a grass fire.
All of the labor to customize the truck was donated — the only expense the Fire Department had was for the paint and the materials, according to fireman Kerry Hefner.
The firemen gathered at the Coleridge Welding Shop on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons to work on the equipment.
