  • This Veterans Service Officer Extends His Appreciation

    Jeff Olsen|Sep 6, 2024

    by Jeff Olsen Roseau County Veterans Service Officer Marty Howes was standing in the new veterans waiting room adjacent to his office at the Roseau County Courthouse. It's a dandy in his book. He had just turned on the overhead TV and described it as dual purpose. Ordinarily, it's a regular TV and other times, it can be used for TeleMed meetings with the VA. "It's a smart TV and I can hook a PCF to it when a veteran has a TeleMed appointment. Maybe they don't have internet, but they can do it...

  • RHS senior takes a big step for the Marines

    Jeff Olsen|Sep 6, 2024

    by Jeff Olsen The young man stood behind the counter at Burger King in Roseau and said "Sir" frequently. As this is quite uncommon, it prompted a question about addressing male customers politely as "Sir." "I'm getting ready for the Marine Corps boot camp next summer," said Noah Rosenow shortly before the start of the school year where he will be a Roseau High School senior. "I've been at Burger King a little over two years now," he said in a later phone interview. "It averages about 25 hours a...

  • Write On: When We Were Girls

    Sep 6, 2024

    Poem by: Ava Holmgren Roseau Community School Teacher: Carla Olsen Sitting on the shelf there is a book bound by an invisible string. Three names etched on the cover long ago, when we were just girls. Inside, pages hold beautiful moments in the verge of spilling out but the bond is so strong- 16 years that could never be broken One page, the background is a snowy night the road ahead, empty glued to the stars are the lyrics of a country song known by heart, felt in our souls, Us, driving back...

  • Overwhelmed?

    Julie Elick|Sep 6, 2024

    Are you feeling overwhelmed in your work, relationships, responsibilities, or something else? You can feel overwhelmed during different seasons of life. High school and college students may be overwhelmed with choices, schoolwork, and anxiety about the future. Young families are often overwhelmed with the demands of raising children while balancing work and financial responsibilities. Ministry workers can feel overloaded with obligations. The feeling of being overwhelmed is common in our...

  • Good Returns

    Pastor Joe Elick 1040-2021|Sep 6, 2024

    Before we examine today's text. I am going to share the Word of God. I want to examine the principles from His word about to God, found in the scripture. God loves us. God's first statement in the book of Malachi is, (Chapter 1, verse 2), "I have loved you," says the Lord. God's love for his people never changes. In Jeremiah 31:3 we read these words of God to his people; "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness." Now this does not mean that God will not...

  • Here's Joy to the World and More

    Jeff Olsen|Sep 6, 2024

    Here she was with a sparkle in her eyes and it would be later on Labor Day Sunday that Joy Ullman was leaping in the air with delight after she had won in beanbag. If you grew up in a certain generation, the new name for it, corn hole, had such a bad connotation that you would be embarrassed to say it in public. She was sitting at a picnic table and smiling. At all of age eight, Joy was full of spunk. She's a Roseau second grader and her teacher is Mrs. Czeh. Joy is one for the ages - a kid who...

  • Mom and Vacation

    Jodi Wojciechowski|Sep 6, 2024

    Mom is still in the hospital but they moved her to a swingbed. She is doing really good and everything is moving in the right direction. She has had a few visitors and she definitely has enjoyed visiting with everyone. It sounds like she may be going home tomorrow but her team is having a meeting to see what would be the best for mom. I think she is ready to go home and get back to her own routine. Vacation is SOON! It is getting very close to VACATION TIME! I'm not sure who is the most e... Full story

  • Misinformation and Abominations

    Ryan Honl|Sep 6, 2024

    Sometimes the truth has to wait to surface, but it does eventually rise into the sunshine. Even Congress can accidentally step into the truth which it did in calling Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, to testify under oath about pressure from Kamala and Joe's Injustice Department to keep Americans in the dark. Here's a quote by Mr Zuckerberg that's finally made it into the history books: "In 2021, senior officials from the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured... Full story

  • Life Is Just A Game We Play

    Sheldon Larson|Sep 6, 2024

    It is the first day of school and excitement is in the air for most going back. Especially when in high school the first thing noticed was how much classmates not seen all summer had changed. For some high school ends up being their glory days. Even more so for the Al Bundys amongst us that excel in sports. In school, as in most of life, bigger is not always better. Smaller classes are a very good thing. They give the students better opportunity to learn and the teachers better opportunity to teach. Definitely a win win. The calendars say it...

Jackson, Jack, or Jack-O, as his brother calls him, loved being outside and especially riding his...

  • Old Smokey

    Tom Palen|Sep 6, 2024

    The weekend before Labor Day, we had a get-together at our house to break in the new deck I'd just rebuilt. My brother-in-law, Jeff, came to join us in the celebration. Jeff brought his son, Andy, daughter Libby, Old Smokey, and Bug Zapper. The Old Smokey and Bug Zapper (prized possessions) were family heirlooms, handed down from his grandpa, Max. Jeff set the Bug Zapper on the corner of the new deck, but frankly, it didn't do anything. The Mosquitoes were not a problem, so the zapper had the...
