1. ... And the winner is ...
Don't knock it until you try it. That's the judges' message about this year's winner of the annual Post Bulletin Holiday Cookie Contest. Denise Pagel's winning cookie is unique and definitely influenced by Southeast Minnesota. Food writer Holly Ebel recounts the top three (or four) winners in Tuesday's Post Bulletin.
2. Going from 2 to 1?
Cole Glazier thinks daily about his state championship wrestling match last March. The Kasson-Mantorville star fell in overtime, finishing as the state runner-up.

5. The last call
In his weekly Oddchester column for the Post Bulletin, Rochester Magazine Editor Steve Lange takes a serious look back at a rescue attempt on a not-so-frozen Silver Lake on Christmas Eve 1953 that cost the lives of a 9-year-old boy and two Rochester firefighters — Ambrose Riley and Stan O’Brien — who perished in their efforts to save a boy they'd never met. Read it Tuesday.
