What started as a way to entertain guests at a 50th anniversary
party turned into a lifelong passion for Rose Marie Hulse.
When Hulse, a lifelong resident of Fillmore County, began to plan her parents’ 50th anniversary celebration she realized she wanted to do something different. After a discussion with her mother she decided to decorate an area with a family chart starting with each set of her four great grandparents.
Hulse caught the genealogy bug and it hasn’t left her since. From her first initial forays she was hooked and found a genealogical society in York to join. She was elected president after a year but realized that her heart wasn’t in the York club since she and her family were from Saline and Fillmore County.

New Reading Curriculum
By Kelsey Yates, Exeter-Milligan Second Grade Teacher
Second graders have been loving their new reading curriculum (CKLA). They just wrapped up Unit 2: Early Asian Civilizations. In this unit, they learned about important components of early Indian and Chinese civilizations like jobs, cities, writing, religion and leaders. They ended their unit with a Chinese New Year celebration. Students are showing off their paper lanterns.
Pictured are the 2nd graders with their lanterns:
Front: Madison Hopkins, Kollins Johnson, Kolsen Kahlandt, Kyson Lindberg, and Karen Benetiz
Back: Bowen Brandt, Allyson Cuevas, Charlie Vejraska, Kenleigh Sudrla and Kyler Oldehoeft
Once again the Exeter Trunk or Treat was a huge success. This year the event was sponsored by the newly formed Exeter Community Club. Cars and trunks were lined up and down main street in Exeter and candy flowed freely. The Legion was open for everyone to enjoy free hot dogs, chips and drinks along with cotton candy. The Exeter-Milligan cheerleaders had hot chocolate for a free will donation and there was a Halloween photo booth for pictures. Many area businesses donated to the event including Generations Bank, Sweetwater Bar and Grill, and Casey’s. Spooky music played downtown while the kids went from trunk to trunk. Winners of the trunk decorating contest were Amanda Votipka for most creative for her “Average Joe” trunk and scariest decorations went JJ Hall for her creepy clown trunk. Prizes were gift certificates to Twisted Wrench and Sweetwater Bar and Grill.
The Exeter-Milligan Lady Timberwolves clawed their way through five sets with a very tough fifth ranked team, DIller-Odell. After losing the first set 25-13, they rallied winning the second set 25-17, lost 25-10 in the third set and won the fourth set 25-22 before catching up to the Griffins but dropping the fifth set and the match 13-15.
If you look at these photos you will see the Diller-Odell student section seated immediately behind the serving area for the Lady Timberwolves. The students were loud and obnoxious and our ladies did some of their best serving in one of the most challenging atmosphere's they have faced all season. Although they missed out on the berth to the state tournament they definitely gave it their all and gave Diller-Odell a run for their money.
Next year the EMF Lady Bobcats will come out even stronger!
