by Jeff Olsen On Thursday, June 20, in Courtroom One at the Roseau County Courthouse, you won't have to cough up a C note or even a 50 dollar bill before you are pronounced man and wife. It's on the house. There's no charge for the wedding ceremony. This past Tuesday morning, Judge Donna Dixon explained that it's like a public service project that some of the judges are performing around the state. "It's just to provide free weddings," she said, not mentioning if anyone would be appearing in... Full story

by Laurel Latham Last year Justin and Sarah Homme and their children took a road trip through Montana, Idaho, Washington State, down the Oregon Coast, to the Redwoods in Northern California. They stopped at a few ice cream parlors along the scenic route they drove through Montana and the Pacific Northwest. "For years we've talked about opening a 50s diner or a food truck in our community," explained Sarah Homme. "I've always been obsessed with the 50s since 10th grade English, when I did a...
by Jeff Olsen Easton Howell will never set a world record in the pole vault or hit a grand slam in the World Series. But he's a big hit nonetheless. Recently, Sara remarked on the challenges and the rewards of raising an autistic son. "Often a child with special needs is sitting in a crowd watching family or friends competing in activities. Easton has always had a very difficult time with crowds and loud noises. So much so, as a family, we have avoided large events." But Easton is full of...
Students in Grace Novacek's class had the opportunity to work with hip hop artist and a spoken word poet. The residency was arranged with COMPAS and sponsored by the Roseau Parent Teacher Organization. by Brooke Broten Listening to my music, drowning out the noises, forgetting about what's in my head, and letting go of the voices, focusing out the overwhelming noises, just listening to my soft tunes of instruments playing so heavenly, they are drawn to my heart, I don't even know where to...
by: Ron Hutchcraft On the first warm day of spring I can remember my son saying, "Ready for a little baseball, Dad?" Well, 'twas the season, although that early in the season we usually ended up stuck in the mud somewhere between home plate and first base. Now, he didn't ask about playing baseball if it was fall or winter. Now, he always had a strong sense of season. By the same token, the first cool day of late summer, of course, that brought a predictable question, "Ready for a little...
It has been said that the Christian Church is always only one generation from extinction. "Well," you say, "That's not true. The Church has been going on for two thousand years, and, as a matter of fact, ours is on the grow." True, but let us hear carefully on the intent of the speaker. The statement was made to make a point, and the point is this: The ongoing existence of the church is dependent upon People continuing to come to Christ, living for Him, and passing Him on to others. 2 Timothy...

My niece, Kier, emailed me on Sunday and was concerned with the most recent developments. "My, how heated things have become in the political world these past few days. The rhetoric is insane - day after day the same stuff." I can't dodge it in this mostly Republican county. They know where I stand. These are my friends and neighbors. This is Trump Country and I don't have a MAGA hat, a MAGA Bible, or a red tie to wear when I am invited to Mar-a-Lago. The trial lasted at least five weeks with da...
Lake Superior was now in our sights and so were the rocks! We stopped at Flood Bay, which is by the Agate Geological Marker, and our agate hunting started. It's so nice that the whole gang gets into rock hunting with me. We were laying down on the rocks looking for the "pretty" ones and seeing if we could spy an agate or two. We did find several small agates, so it was a win. There were other people there doing the same thing. Since we were beginners, Kyle went and asked them a few questions....
Joe Biden says we should respect the democrat prosecutors, democrat judge, and democrat jury in New York over Trump's conviction last week. According to Joe we're to celebrate the success of the democrat justice system in taking down his political opponent five months before the November election. Democrat judge Merchan conveniently set sentencing in July just 3 days before the republican national convention. The American people see it for what it is, just simply a democrat hit job, and a...
As the Japanese Emperor said after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, “I am afraid we have awoken a sleeping giant.” Likewise the American people seem to have woke up after Donald J. was found guilty of 34 felonies. George Soro’s minion, Alvin Bragg, managed to take a petty misdemeanor whose statutes of limitations had run out more than a year earlier and turn it into 34 felonies. That coupled with a corrupt judge and a jury that hated Trump that was told only what the good judge wanted them to hear completed the recipe. Kangaroos everywhere are a...

Back in my radio days, our station had the best DJ service around. We played all types of events: school dances, class reunions, company parties, birthday parties, and anniversaries. The most common gigs we played were wedding receptions. Before the wedding, I always met with the couple to discuss what songs they wanted played for special dances, such as the bride and groom, father and bride, and groom and his mother's dance, and maybe a few requests they would like played throughout the...
