by Ryan Honl There are visible improvements in the water drainage along and through the Roseau OakCrest Golf Course after R&Q completed a water project that started in July that coordinated with Houston Engineering out of Thief River Falls. Walking along the drainage throughout the golf course you can see clear waterways, a re-engineered bed that filters the water to improve quality, and no vegetation such as cattails that create reduced water flow and drainage. There are brown grass mats along...

Peter Dizikes MIT News Office Publication Date: March 8, 2018 A new study by three MIT scholars has found that false news spreads more rapidly on the social network Twitter than real news does — and by a substantial margin. “We found that falsehood diffuses significantly farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth, in all categories of information, and in many cases by an order of magnitude,” says Sinan Aral, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and co-author of a new...
I ran for public office once. Never again. Dogs hated me. Greenbush was the nicest town to campaign in. Never saw any dogs. Maybe they ate them. Won't forget Warroad where I caught one of my opponents removing my 3-cents apiece campaign cards that I had taped to the various residences. He would have made a great politician. He's a Republican although we weren't running on party affiliations. Badger really stood out. One couple, at least in their eighties, opened their front door and didn't...
Colorado Springs is home to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It is located at 6,714 feet above sea level, and offers great views of the city and of its hundreds of animals. The unique design of the Zoo's animal exhibits gets you up close and personal with the animals. You can hand-feed one of the largest giraffe herds in the world. It was quite amazeballs and I would definitely do it again! B, Lorena and I fed Jumbe the rhino. Jumbe looks intimidating but is very gentle! I would feed the animals again in... Full story
Well, here we are. As of publishing we're five days away from the election. Without being able to kill Donald Trump, instead him rising as from the ashes with his fist in the air after being shot in the head, the democrat rhetoric has descended into its final argument when all other arguments and assassination attempts fail. Donald Trump is a fascist and he's literally the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. Never mind the fact that Donald Trump didn't actually morph into Adolf Hitler during his four...
The summer of 1966 was a memorable summer. It was the first summer I experienced the breathtaking beauty of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, thanks to a special program in Lake of the Woods County. LOW County sponsored kids from low income families to attend a camp called Camp Buckskin near Ely. At eleven-years-old, I spent several life changing weeks attending Camp Buckskin on the beautiful shore of the Boundary Waters. There were many firsts that summer of 1966. First time roasting...

This fall is definitely one to remember. Anyone in agribusiness that is not done with their fall work really needs to think about downsizing. If you don’t get your fall work done in the fall you are already way behind in the spring. The flowering crabs have now frozen and thawed. That usually means drunken birds flying into walls and windows and doing stupid stuff drunks do. Not feeling right to shoot partridge anymore the only ones eaten are the ones that fly into a window. Usually one or two a year provide a welcome treat. Deer season has got...
When I was nine (1959) my mom left. Divorce wasn’t like today. I felt worthless for many years. One day my pastor told me God created me. I was not worthless to Him. Everyone is important to Him. We are also important to each other. Yesterday I was at a relative’s room, going to die in the hospital. Within a couple of hours he died. The rest of us that are still alive have choices to make. They are important choices each and every day. My hopelessness and worthlessness went away with 18 wheels and a chrome stack. This is a long way around but... Full story
I don’t remember who started it. I suppose it might have been me, although I’m not usually one to instigate trouble. Regardless of who started it, it’s been going on for years, and it’s still going on. The first time I remember it happening, my wife had done something that annoyed me. I’m sure it was nothing big, but it was something because I felt a need to react. I went to the bedroom. Our cat at that time, Salem, was sleeping on Melissa’s flannel pajama pants, which were neatly folded at t...

Essay by: Sophia Hume Roseau Community School Mrs. Carla Olsen I remember when I was 8 I wished to be 10 because you finally get to be double digits. And my mom told me, “Don’t wish time away.” When I was 10 I wished to be 13 so I could be an official teenager. Again my mom told me, “Don’t wish time away.” Finally when I was 13 I wished to be 16. My dream age. At 16 you can drive, you’re basically an adult. Now at almost 16, I wish I could go back. I wish I could go back to when drinking and smoking weren’t the norm. I miss the smell of the cr...
by Jeff Olsen For Army Vietnam veteran David Vacura, it was almost like being in Heaven. He didn't have to shine his shoes, polish his brass, or even pull latrine duty. Quite possibly, the Badger native now knows what it’s like to be an Army four star general. Three from Roseau County were on the Veterans Honor Flights in late September - Mr. Vacura, Elroy Britten, and Lloyd Fugleberg. Next, meet LeRoy Vigen, one of the veterans from Thief River Falls. LeRoy has Roseau ties through his daughter,... Full story
by Jeff Olsen Trekker Homstad is a Roseau 7th grader, an experienced deer hunter, and missing the Kids' Opener on October 19 would be like skipping his birthday party. But his dad Ross did encourage his son to sleep some more. "We were north of Lancaster and we had hauled the Ice Castle to use as a deer camp." They slept there overnight. "I got up at 5 a.m. to make breakfast and I felt his forehead to wake him up and he felt just hot to the touch." Luckily, Ross, who is a physical therapist at L... Full story
