Paul Nugent was two thousand miles from Roseau when the idea first came to him. "Last September I decided I wanted to go somewhere warm for the winter, so I bought a fifth wheel Scamp camper and headed south with my dog Nelly," explained Paul. "I met up with my brother Phil and his wife Amanda in Kansas and we headed for Quartzite, Arizona. Driving from Colorado to New Mexico, from the Rockies to the desert, the scenery is just incredible! We spent one night in Two Guns, Arizona. Two Guns is...
Let's cut to the chase! Manuel "Manny" Peralta, 49, a Thief River Falls resident, stands out in a crowd. How big are you? "I'm five-eleven and weigh 300 pounds," he said last Sunday from Thief River Falls. He cuts a wide berth. Sometimes, when he isn't smiling, it seems he might be getting ready to mug you for your pocket change. That happens when he has his game face on, but he's as polite as a British butler and says "Yes, sir" and "No, sir" so frequently that it can be humbling. "My dad told...
Some say that if you want to cure a drought, open a racetrack because it's sure to rain on raceday. And once again mother nature was going to have a say in the nights racing action at the Greenbush Race Park. The pit gates opened at 4 p.m., and the dark clouds rolled in at 4:05. But mother nature decided to give us a break and only give us a few light sprinkles and the racing would go on. It was the third annual "Duggan" Nelson Memorial for the Midwest Modifieds and Hunter Hougard of Warren, would lead the 20 car field to the green. But the...
Some athletes prefer to take the summer off and live the easy life. That's not Chandler Mooney's game. He prefers competing against the best. At the 2018 Junior National Duals in Greco and freestyle wrestling, the Roseau senior had an outstanding four days at the Cox Business Center in Tulsa, Okla. Chandler went 4 & 0 in the Greco competition as he defeated Michigan's Dylan Welbaum 12-4 at 170 a week ago Tuesday. Next, on the same day, he won on an 11-0 tech fall over Scott Radke of Kansas at...
It's been like battling the New York Yankees out at Oakcrest Golf Course the past seven weeks. The rest of the teams were chasing the big dogs - and lost. "The Peace Grenades won tonight, they didn't have a big night, but they had enough points to finish off as the first half champs," said Mark Wilson, tipping his hat to Nick Herling, Scott Turnow, Josh Sunsdahl, Brad Zoeller, Keith Vatnsdal, and Jason Guy. In the runner-up spot was Johnson Markstrom Construction and then Lundbohm Accounting....
Beautiful. I always wanted to be a member of the clergy because I've known some colorful characters who have been an inspiration to me. There was Rev. Ike, whose best line at collection time was "I don't want to hear any change jiggle." He wanted paper money. His real name was Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II, and he was an African-American who preached prosperity to his radio followers who sent him money and he would then bless them on the air. My kind of gig! I heard him a few times at his peak...
“Multi-tasking.” Have you heard the term? It’s growing in popularity and you may be among the many who say, “Yeah that’s me.” When I was chatting with our pastor, Pastor Steve, about the concept of the title of this article a few days ago, he responded with, “The ladies may not agree with you...especially my wife Mary.” Oops! I’ve learned over the years not to mess with a pastor’s wife. I should know, I’m married to one! However, if you’ll bear with me, I’d like to take this, “No such thing...” deal in a particular direction that may...
To the Editor, When watching the National News it is painfully obvious there is now and had been a double standard in this country for a long time. There seems to be one set of rules for the liberal left and a totally different one that the rest of us live by. Madonna said that the White House should be blown up. Johnny Depp said that Trump won’t be the first president killed by an actor. Peter Fonda said Trump’s ten year old son Barron should be put in a cage with pedophiles. Obama wants to put his sister Hanoi Jane up to be one of our cou...
