Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger isn’t sure if the village of Pilger looks better or worse after volunteers spent nearly a week clearing away debris in wake of an EF-4 tornado.
Unger says some of the cleared areas look like a nuclear bomb went off, but…overall…Unger sees signs of improvement. . .


The co-op, a major employer in Pilger, has announced plans to rebuild. Midwest Bank indicates it will remain in the community.

Unger says this week the clean-up emphasis might shift away from human hands to heavy equipment. . .
