by Jeff Olsen Former President Donald J. Trump won the November 5 General Election in convincing fashion becoming only the second former president to win nonconsecutive terms, which was earlier accomplished by Democrat Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. He had served as president from 1885 to 1889 and 1893 to 1897. Mr. Trump, while not winning in a landslide, won handily and will be the oldest ever to be sworn into office in January. His opponent, Vice President...

by Laurel Latham A custom painting created by Ojibwe-Cree Artist Shawna Grapentine, with assistance from students Izaliah Nichols, Damien Cloud, Alyka Freude, and Taylor Yanok, now graces the interior of the Folk School in Warroad. The amazing mural is rich with color and Ojibwe meaning, with the description reading: The scenic picture of the land and rising sun describes our life. In the sun there is a faint image of a dream catcher; the dream catcher, in the Ojibwe culture, was created for...
Essay by: Lauren Dieter Roseau Community School Mrs. Laugen We had made it back to Roseau from Wolf Ridge, and I was in the car with my mom. When we finally made it to my house, I sat down at the dinner table, and my parents asked the popular question, “How was Wolf Ridge?” “Pretty good. I enjoyed my time there, and had a lot of fun,” I said. “My favorite part was probably the ropes course, or maybe the rock wall.” “What did you learn?” my dad asked curiously, as he was explaining what...
My memory is not what it used to be. I can think about mailing a bill when I leave the house. When I am down to the first stop light, I automatically turn left onto Hwy 11. Getting to work, I notice the bill on the seat next to me. Goodness! It’s like that. Up on Minnesota Hill, Joe and I get up at 2:30 each morning. Making our coffee, I make my chocolate coffee. He takes his with cream. I make an English muffin with butter, peanut butter, and jelly. Sitting in my kitchen rocking chair I put o...
In August, Mike Rentfrow, a 1984 Roseau High School graduate, was reached in Texas. We’ve talked in recent years. I had to be honest that I wouldn't live in Texas for the all the money in the world. "And I wouldn't leave. It's been too good to me," he said, and we laughed. He had served overseas in Desert Storm as a combat engineer. "I spent eight or nine months over there with the 650th Terminal Transportation Unit pulling equipment around during and after Desert Storm.” During Mike's ove...

There’s actually a piece of bad news in the overwhelming republican victory this week. Tim “I’m friends with school shooters” Walz is coming back to Minnesota to continue to attempt its complete destruction. But he’s been outed now as the disaster he always was due to the national attention. Good luck in that next Governor’s race, Tim, so there is light at the end of the tunnel for Minnesota with that one. Now on to the salvation of America. After impeachment, multiple attempts to jail, two a... Full story
No more politics for awhile! We didn’t get it too bad here compared to the barrage the people in the swing states had to deal with. The Dems have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is easier to get people to believe a lie than to believe they have been lied to. Many were hoping Donald J. could turn Minnesota red for the first time since 1972. Close but no cigar. Hopefully Camella’s concession speech will be the last time we hear her cackle. It is a good thing a campaign ran on abortion and an intense hatred for Trump and America los...

I remember my uncle John from way back when I was just a young boy. He was Mom's baby brother. I would see him occasionally when we visited Grampy and Grammy's house in Mason City, Iowa. John moved to Fairbanks, Alaska when I was six. When he visited back home, we traveled to northern Iowa to see him. He didn't get back often, so I didn't get to know him as I grew up. Still, I would hear stories about John regularly, as my mother told them. I learned to know him through her tales. I always...
