It was a heck of a ride! Turn back the clock to December 1966 and get acquainted with Jim Langley, who was 29 and an independent Polaris dealer in the Twin Cities. He was ready for a change of scenery and it was some trek, all by snowmobile, from coast to coast on 1967 Polaris Colts, built in the fall of 1966 right here in Roseau. He is 81 now, still full of excitement, an "aw shucks" attitude, and plenty of mischief in his voice. Locally, meet Mitch Magnusson and Monica Dohmen, a couple of swee...
Forget the "i" before "e" except after "c". It was for all the marbles a week ago Monday evening in the School Community Theater as 16 of the finest spellers competed in the Roseau School District's Spelling Bee. With Mr. Len Wenzel pronouncing each word, using it in a sentence, and repeating the word again, the judges - Mrs. Sherry Nelson, Mrs. Carla Olsen, and Ms. Ann Olson - determined if the contestant had spelled a word correctly. "One wrong letter and it's over," said Ms. Olson. "We...

He’d often scowl, trying to put the fear of Jesus in me back then. That went on for a number of years until I gave him a solid whack against his chest with my right arm and did a backheel t...
Sciatic pain can be excruciating, almost unbearable at times. But there are many ways to find relief (REALLY!) and begin working towards being pain-free. (I almost believe this article, so I’m going to follow everything it says!) The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back, and it runs all the way through the buttock and down the back of the legs. (True!) I agree it is VERY excruciating! Friday I had a little tweak happen in my back at work. No big deal, it only hurt a little. Not to much l...
