Father's Day Feature - Brainerd Dispatch, MN
Steve Senica knows that initial shock new fathers go through. He went from zero kids to four in less than a year. Steve and his wife, Traci, were desperately trying to conceive a child. On their fifth round of in vitro fertilization, the couple started looking into adoption and surrogates. Just a few weeks into the treatment, the new Brainerd lakes area residents had the opportunity to adopt a baby named Victoria. She was their miracle. Steve and Traci decided to finish up the in vitro fertilization for closure but call it quits after that. Three months after little Victoria arrived, the Senicas found out Traci was pregnant — with triplets. From: BrainerdDispatch Views: 117 1 ratings Time: 03:34 More in News & Politics

An Aitkin County woman was injured in a black bear attack Monday evening, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

"This is really something," veterans visit the Traveling Wall - Brainerd Dispatch MN
A stiff south wind blew gray clouds across Crow Wing County Fairgrounds Thursday as veterans and others trickled in to see the recently assembled Traveling Wall — a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. "That's a lot of names," U.S. Navy veteran Bill Diethart concluded when he first walked up to the 360-foot-long, 80 percent scale replica. "This is really something," U.S. Army 9th Infantry Division Vietnam veteran Dick Olmstead said. Olmstead remembered kissing the ground when he returned to the U.S. from Vietnam, but there was no fanfare to accompany his return. "I got off the plane in Fargo (N.D.), he said. "That's all I remember." Read more: http://brainerddispatch.com/news/2013-05-30/veterans-visit-traveling-wall From: BrainerdDispatch Views: 56 0 ratings Time: 00:36 More in News & Politics

Graduates, parents, ISD 181 staff, school board and guests, thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight. So here you are, the graduating class of 2013. You have spent the last 13 years working for this moment. On behalf of the faculty at BHS, and all the teachers and staff at ISD 181, I offer congratulations! In 1982, when I made it into my high school's top choir, I sang at my first graduation. Since then, I have performed at or conducted in a graduation ceremony every year. That's a lot of graduations. That's a lot of graduation speeches. To be honest, I don't remember any of the speeches.
