Copy shortlink:
Melissa DeWoskin will never know whether the toxic forever chemicals from her contaminated private well in West Lakeland Township played a role in her daughter s developmental disabilities.
The what-ifs and unknowns are difficult and all the money from Minnesota s $850 million settlement with 3M Co. over the groundwater pollution from the man-made chemicals won t change that.
Your instinct as a mother is to blame yourself, DeWoskin said, choking back tears. Did I expose myself to something?

Watson relishes relationships through running


Born in Minneapolis, Luke Watson moved with his family to Stillwater when he was 5-years old. Playing hockey, baseball and soccer provided him with an athletic background, but his parents decided they needed a family activity they could all do so they would not be shuttling their four children to various places at different times.
It led to cross country skiing and then Luke joined the junior high school cross-country running team.
“I was not immediately the best, but close to the front,” Watson said, describing his first connection with the sport.
From 1994 to 1997, Watson went to the state meet in cross country with the team claiming championships three consecutive years. His junior year, Watson was runner-up to Nic Matick of Duluth East and claimed the title his senior year. ....
