by Jeff Olsen There will be peanuts and Cracker Jacks. And soda pop at 10 bucks a crack. So what! Anastyn Loken, 12, celebrated her birthday earlier in April. But this tops the cake! She's some artist. A very special one. Recently, she took first place in a statewide poster contest and won four tickets to the Twins game at Target Field on Sunday, May 5. Now get this! She will be throwing the ceremonial first pitch at Target Field. Last Saturday, Roseau Police Officer Zach Manka sounded just as e...
by Ryan Honl For Police Officers Jace and Naomi Thompson, coming to Warroad was a no-brainer. Jace grew up in Warroad and both were interested in small town policing.

They married last October and started in Warroad in February, taking two open full-time positions in the department. Jace is 21 and grew up on a cattle farm and is... Full story
by Laurel Latham Most Tveit family vacations have involved hockey games at the state tournament. This family vacation involved hockey games as well, but required a six hour flight to Anchorage, Alaska, then a three hour drive from Anchorage to Kenai, Alaska. Blake Norris, son of Melissa (nee Tveit) and Chad Norris, was skating with the Kenai River Brown Bears, a Tier II junior ice hockey team in the North American Hockey League in three games against the Janesville Jets. "It was Parents Weekend...
Essay by: Jenna Pelowski Roseau Community School Art Teacher and Supervisor: Carla Olsen For my end of novel project I decided to do the collage. Not only because it seemed easiest, but because a picture is said to be worth a thousand words. In my collage I used a mixture of pictures of Malala, pictures of the things she mentions throughout her book, and some quotes. Most of the pictures of Malala are ones that show significant moments in her life such as her days in the hospital after she was...
Charles Swindoll shared the following story: "I vividly remember sometime back being caught in the undertow of too many commitments in too few days. It wasn't long before I was snapping at my wife and our children, choking down my food at meal times. I felt irritated from those unexpected interruptions throughout the day. I distinctly recall after supper one evening the words of our younger daughter, Colleen. She wanted to tell me something important that had happened to her at school that day....
Last Monday afternoon I went out to mow our lawn after feeling quite ill Sunday night and all of Monday morning. Finally I just felt the need to get out of bed and go outside into the warm sunshine. As I began to make my rounds in the backyard I thanked the Lord for the beautiful Spring day, and then concluded by saying, more to myself than to God, "There's health in the Sun" S-U-N. The thought brought me up short, rolled around in my imagination, and came out the second time, "There's health...
I lead off this week with a privileged woman, Barbara Amiel, still a very attractive British lady, a 1940 model, who is married to Conrad Black, a Canadian who once owned the Chicago Sun-Times and publications in Canada and Israel. Mr. Black did a 42-month stretch in the Coleman Correctional Facility in Florida on felony fraud charges. In 2019, President Trump granted him a presidential pardon. It's his wife, Barbara Amiel, who captivated my attention with her stirring remarks in "Friends and...
Sarah's stolen phone traveled to China! We did guess that is where it would end up. They tried hard to get her to "remove" her stolen phone. Several messages were sent and the last message was quite threatening! They began by trying to make it seem as though Verizon didn't erase her phone, which she knew was false. Then they said it was going to be auctioned on the black market and several times showed her with pics how to remove the device. Next they said it was bought secondhand for the person...
Some have said that if you have no opinions or enemies, you've made no positive impact on the world. I'd take that to the bank personally. I catch hell from both sides of the political spectrum. I had a couple die hard conservatives give me grief at the Legion for saying I want Jeff to do my eulogy if I go before him which is likely since I get no exercise and he's a Beltrami forest lumberjack building all that prepper stuff at his homestead. I stand by my statement. I like Jeff. He's obviously... Full story
The first wood tick of the year has now been dealt with. As of yet, no mosquitoes have been sighted. The Asian beetles are finally starting to thin out in the house. One of the nasty things found it’s way into my chocolate chip ice cream milkshake a while back. It went unnoticed until I thought it was a bigger chocolate chip and bit it. They are are quite crunchy. If you think they smell bad when crushed they taste even worse! Be aware of your surroundings includes now looking more carefully at any and all food. It will soon be time to put o...

With a wife and three daughters, I have been asked occasionally to go to the store to pick up some items that may not be - well, obviously are not, for me. Some manly men friends tell me they would never pick these items up at the store for anybody, for any reason. I don't believe them. These are the same guys who embellish the size of the fish that got away, the gas mileage of their pickup with the monstrous mud tires and big V-8 motor, the deal they got on their riding lawn mower, and claim th...
