Lori Foster, whose husband, Evan, died last March, owns Up North Treasures and Gifts in Greenbush. Last week, she was having nothing to do with tooting her own horn. Far from it. But good news does get around. What she wanted to do was raise money for dialysis patients in the area by making wooden stars, decorating them, and selling them. "I made all of the stars. I just had the wood cut out and I decorated each one of them and they all had a different decoration." Pretty creative! When it was...

When hiring a carpenter, or contractor, you need to determine their qualifications; how much experience do they have; that’s important. Over the years, I’ve learned to ask if theirs was good, or bad experience; that’s more important. I once had two workers replacing the roof on a rental house of mine. Both men were about five years older than me. Jesse was a drywall finisher by trade, and one of the best I’d ever met. The first time I met Jesse, I asked how long he’d been finishing drywall....
Terrific! The letter arrived at the Roseau Times-Region sometime in mid-December and included the obituary for Helen P. Donaldson, a 1929 model, who was quite the gal. She surely was. I don't usually get fan mail, which is understandable because any number of Hedonists, Baptists, Catholics, Republicans, Protestants, hypocrites, and Fruitcakes are offended when they read this column. Send money and I will quit. Ten grand would be sufficient. The letter was from Melody Goodboe, 63, who included...

Jimmy Carter can finally rest in peace with the knowledge that he wasn't the worst president in U.S. history. Joe Biden has taken that mantle in spades although Joe is resting in peace as we speak also so he's not aware of his new illustrious title anyway. It's a win-win for both of them. They say Jimmy was a better president in the 45 years after his presidency than the four years of his self described "malaise" during it. It'll be the same for Biden. How could it possibly get worse than Joe's...
Why does our world as we know it seem to be getting more confusing and complicated every year? Maybe because we humans are too. Which bathroom to use is a case in point. Why be rated one hundred fifty-third best swimmer in the world as a man when you only have to identify as a woman to be number one. Caitlyn Clark was the A.P.’s female athlete of the year. Good choice! The Olympic boxer that flunked his DNA test that identifies as a woman was number three. He maybe would have held his own with other male boxers, but made beating up girls and ma...
In 2020 my husband, Don, met his sister, Margo, for the very first time. Unfortunately not in person, but via Facebook video call, since 1,557 miles separate our families. Margo and her husband, Eric, and their daughter, Sarah, live in Mt. Vernon, Washington. We live just north of the small town of Roosevelt. Margo was born two years before my husband arrived in March '69. Due to challenging circumstances at the time, Don's sister was given up for adoption. Don grew up with two brothers, but...

Dr. Prasad Munusamy Dr. Munusamy had nothing but great things to say about why he chose to come to Roseau.. "It was close to Canada to getting home, he said. "Everywhere I've lived has always been busy. There's always a Walmart at least. Always a McDonalds. This is the first place I've been to that has neither of those. And I don't miss it! SuperOne has everything you need! Dollar General when I walked in there is the same!" Dr. Munusamy mentioned having lived in Canada, but that is a tiny bit...
