Committee members Natali Anderson, Sara Dahlgren, Christine Sibillau and Britt Dahl have put together the perfect day for women to gather for much needed ME time. "Girlfriends Winter Break-Away is an event created to bring women, girls and friends together for...
Last weekend's three days of hard shooting, fast skating, and lots of laughs is why the annual Bruce Olson Memorial Hockey Tournament at the Roseau Memorial Arena is a top-shelf event and a big draw for quite a few old players who can still do their magic on the ice and in the locker room. Billy Lund believes this is the 16th annual old-timers hockey tournament, which was renamed several years back to honor the late Bruce Olson, who coached the 1999 Roseau Rams to the state high school hockey...
You can't throw a hammerlock on Ed and force him to open up. He's too powerful and, besides, he's an old boxer with fast hands. There is one other thing. At 70, he'd just as soon forget his military service during the Vietnam War. That's what he said last weekend before he began opening up. He's a veteran who did his duty, but he's not looking for any accolades. Dunham, who graduated from Roseau High School in 1965, was never destined to become a jockey - not at just under six feet and tipping...

Beautiful! In a week's time in this business as a highly-paid reporter and columnist, it was the first time ever that I'd interviewed two millionaires on the same day without feeling like I had to genuflect and bow. Far too often, rich people are condescending to us blokes they consider to be peasants. If Donald Trump saw me standing outside some joint he owned, he'd hand me his car keys and say, "Boy, bring me my red Lincoln Continental and be quick about it!" Siblings Debbie and Dennis...
Fake news. It’s kind of a catchy phrase that’s been showing up in the media for about a year now. Is fake news new? Actually it’s not. It’s been around a long time, and it always has the potential for leading people astray. I want to examine that in this article. How long a history does fake news have? From a biblical point of view it goes back to the beginning of time, and the echo of that fake news is still reverberating today. Let’s see how. In Genesis 2, we find God giving Adam a tour of the Garden of Eden along with some good news and...
To the Editor, After Roseanne Barr slaughtered our National Anthem a few years ago I really hoped I would not have to look or listen to her again. If she was around my granddaughter for five minutes she would correctly be called a potty mouth. Nevertheless she put Jimmy Fallon in his place last week. Jimmy was bad mouthing Trump like most liberals are loathe to do. Roseanne said that she too is a liberal and then she told him he is was too far left. She then pointed out that Trump is our elected President and that when he does well, our...
To the Editor, Poor Jimmy, his information is so Jensonized (To fabricate, twist or manipulate information, circumstances and/or events for ones own agenda and self importance) he can't remember what he's spouted off about from article to article. If Jenson thinks Commissioners can't be held accountable by Mn statutes for votes they take then why Jenson, were you trying to get Karen Foss to charge Falk and Walker with malfeasance (a state statute) over votes on highway issues? The Board did not reverse it's self on the vote you question nor...
To the Editor, Question: Why won’t the Greenbush Tribune publish any of Jim Jenson’s letters to the editor? Answer: Because his letters are rubbish. He lives in Badger; his “blowhard” reputation is well-known in that area. Question: Why doesn’t Jenson file for county commissioner? Answer: Because he would only get one vote. Question: Readers, do you believe any of the garbage Jenson is sending to the newspapers? Answer: If you do, let’s get together. I will buy coffee and furnish information that is factual. Call me: 202-997-9085. It is time...

On Sunday evening at the Roseau City Center, the Roseau Rams put the final wrap on a fine season despite a 7-11 dual meet record. "We saw a lot of improvement this season," said head coach Aaron Rose, adding that the kids were hard workers, very dedicated, and fun to work with. The hard work and talent paid off as senior Riley Eidsmoe and junior Chandler Mooney qualified to the Minnesota State Wrestling Tournament in early March. Mooney, who was the 145 pound Section 8A champion, earned third pl...
Kyle Cease made a great reference to a movie that I had NO idea existed, until last week. In the movie Adaptation by Nicolas Cage, he says “You Are What You Love And Not What Loves You.” That goes along with a song by Mumford and Sons called Awake My Soul. I did a similar post with the same title and when I heard Kyle's reference I know I needed to write about it. We often look at the external world for acceptance, approval, and permission. One could even add in the ability to be heard and understood. One more that just came to mind was to be...
