There is no "Get Out of Jail" free card, and it costs Roseau County whenever uninsured inmates require medical care. That's the word from several Roseau County officials, who were interviewed recently about a newly approved contract with LifeCare Medical Center to provide in-house medical care at the Roseau County Detention Center. "The County Board did approve the Jail Medical Service Contract," said Roseau County Commissioner Jack Swanson a week ago Tuesday following the board meeting. He...
On Monday evening January 15 154 members of the business community gathered for the Roseau Civic and Commerce Annual Meeting. It was held at the Roseau City Center and was the most well attended meeting to date. The evening started with a social hour at 6 p.m. and the Roseau High School Jazz Band directed by Lance Dubay. The music they provided was played with perfection. There is no wonder as to why the Jazz Band will be heading to the Minnesota Music Educators Conference in Minneapolis in...

What I am about to write about has been forming in my mind for almost a year now along with the question: “Should I take this topic on?” I believe I should. I have a deep concern over the growing lack of respect in America on all levels of society. I’ve observed this with small children mouthing off to their parents and some parents letting them get away with it. I wonder if in some cases they are learning this at home. Dad and mom, how do you treat and speak to each other? Especially in front of the children. In the old Testament of the Bible...
To the Editor, Thank you to Jim Jenson for submitting the article in regards to the “Organizing for Action” group and reminding me to sign up and become a member. Even though the article Mr. Jenson submitted was not completely accurate, I was impressed with how much of it stayed true to its original form. I tip my hat off to the marchers, protesters and disrupters of this world—who do so in a peaceful and respectful way. If it wasn’t for protesters and marchers, women would not have been given the right to vote in 1920, and if Mr. Jenson...
A week ago Friday evening in Menahga, the Rams were hoping for maybe one victory since they were competing in 10 of the 14 weight classes. One positive for the Rams, according to assistant coach Scott Mooney, is the work ethic of these 10 varsity Rams. "I thought we had a chance with Deer River," he said. He later noted that they had more than a chance against all three teams. "Our wrestlers really stepped up and performed well. In the last dual of the night, we had an injury so we gave them 30...
