by Jeff Olsen Not many days go by that Jared and Christy Olafson of Warroad don't feel blessed. They have four great kids - and that includes Knox, a true medical marvel. "They amputated his entire left knee when he was four," said his dad, Jared, speaking by cellphone in early November. Knox is 11, a Warroad fifth grader, and loves to hunt. His mom referred to him as "Dead Eye!" For sure, Lucky is also applicable. He got this terrific deal for a free hunting trip in Texas starting at the...
by Ryan Honl The Roseau County Police Department has been a busy place with three new full time officers hired this summer and fall. One of them is Officer Donnie Stengrim. In October 2023, Officer Stengrim became a dispatch officer at the sheriff's department. Roseau Police Chief Marc Hodge had great things to say since he switched over to the police department a couple months ago. "Donnie worked at the jail," Chief Hodge said. "I try not to pull people from other departments but I know that...
by Jeff Olsen Start with the soda crackers. Matt is the muncher, at least at that moment that they both saw the buck at almost the same time. That buck didn't stand a chance. It had to be thinking, "Who are these hombres and how come they keep shooting me?" It was Thursday, November 14, and both Matt and Mark Przekwas have big families. So, venison is important for the former Roseau High School graduates now living six miles apart in rural Lancaster. "We did shoot it on state land," Mark said....

Poem by: Liam Johnson Roseau Community School Teacher: Mrs. Carla Olsen Hockey One hour before the game, music blaring, fans shivering from the cold Thirty minutes before the game, tensions are high, players nervous, coaches quiver, fans getting louder, Game time, blades hit the ice, scraping and soaring, the sound of the puck drop, a crisp smack, the centers battle for possession, down the ice they go, as fast as they can, passing back and forth, goalies are ready, a shot from the slot, the buzzer blares, the crowd erupts, home team up 1-0....

I was going down the hallway at work and saw two inchworms. They are little and approximately one inch long. I will step on crickets..they seem to come in unnoticed and then brag, with a lot of noise because they got in. The inchworm brings back memories..Back in Duluth we had a record album by The Sandpipers. The Sandpipers sang... Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds You and your arithmetic, you'll probably go far. Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds Seems to me you'd stop and...
“And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.” Luke 2:4-5. I wonder if Joseph traveled a lot before leaving Nazareth. He made several if not annual trips to Jerusalem for the Hebrew Passover festival. Nazareth was not on a trade route. It is about a 40 mile downhill walk to the Sea of Galilee. He could then join a trade caravan for another 90 miles to Jer...
Dateline - Sunday morning. It’s just four days before Thanksgiving, which means I can wish those who mean the most to me, "Happy Thanksgiving!" If you end up washing a bathtub of dishes that day, it might not be all that happy. Just call it KP Thursday, and make sure the elderly beggars earn their keep. "It's your turn, Granny. You start with the pots and pans." Thanksgiving Day should also be a day to complain. Take me. I bought a used truck for about 12 grand last spring, and it started d...

I love this time of year. The holidays are fun and full of kid memories. I remember being at my grandparents house on Center Street in Roseau at Christmas time. Santa Claus came every year. He really was Santa Claus until I was older. I don't know who that guy was but he was perfect. Probably a relative or maybe he was the guy in town you pay to stop by. He'd dump the bag of wonders in front of the TV and then he was off. We were too busy opening the presents to actually look outside to see if...
Peaches and Blossom received a different fate than an estimated forty-six million other turkeys. Eighty-eight percent of Americans will consume some turkey over the long weekend. As a good doctor in the cities said years ago, “There is no reason for anyone to go hungry with all the deer, geese, and turkeys living in the city.” The big problem with that is no hunting in city limits and most would have no clue on how to get one and what to do with it if they did. A country boy will survive, citiots not so much. Someone that hunts deer and pay...
Change is one of the few constants in life, yet it is often met with resistance, fear, and uncertainty. Whether it’s a change in our personal lives, our relationships, or the broader cultural landscape, the prospect of moving from the familiar to the unknown can feel daunting. However, the Bible offers wisdom that can help us view change not as a threat, but as an opportunity for growth, renewal, and deeper faith. Through the lens of Scripture, we can learn how to embrace change in a way that aligns with God's purposes for our lives. 1. God i...

This year, our kids will be with in-laws for the holidays, so we were planning three celebrations in one weekend. I would do the cooking for my birthday on Friday, and the girls would make dinner for our Thanksgiving and Christmas on Saturday night; both would be at my daughter’s house in Duluth. My birthday menu consisted of homemade beef and noodles, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, corn, and a mixed-berry pie in lieu of a birthday cake. (Low carb, right?) Even though we would have dinner i...
