Spring has finally sprung! The trees are starting to bud, the perennials are up, the snow is almost gone, and the dog had the first woodtick. Watching our world come back to life after a long winter’s sleep gives us reason to believe in the...

This old farmer is still in a bit of a state of shock after seeing a 25% increase in property values in one year. If property taxes go up proportionally it could be a deal breaker for many. In conversation with a friend fifteen or twenty years ago...

I want to thank Jeff Olsen for the excellent article on what the sheriff’s department and local residents know about the illegal border crossings last week. It was a thorough article and greatly in the public interest. I do have several questions...

If spring was a baseball game, we would be in the seventh inning stretch! And still no sign of global warming! Climate change or whatever the politicians call it on any given day continues to feather their nests. Rumor has it that there is a bill to...

We in the great northland are finally in the “tween” times. That is the short break between snow removal and lawn mowing. Every season and every year seems to bring its own challenges. This spring makes this old cattleman glad to be retired and...

Apparently some Times-Region readers have a few things fly a little high when they go past them. The guy’s parents that voted democrat did so after being dead. There are many many things about the 2020 election that have been proven and with the...

Communism has been let in our door by us (We the People), but God stands at the door and knocks, will you/we answer or ignore Him as a people and community?  We need to look back and make changes to our lives; I have compiled my summarized list of...

There is something I just do not understand. How can Christians justify themselves when they vote for a man or party that supports abortion? It is murder! This is not about a political party issue, but BABIES! It goes like this right? Democrats are... Full story

This global warming AKA climate change is sure looking a lot like nothing has changed a whole lot. We usually can count on a short January thaw but January and February used to have a lot of days of “good limbing”. Good limbing usually meant...

This old farmer is in no way, shape or form putting anyone down for having a love of ice fishing. But, are the what was once dozens, hundreds and now thousands of wheelhouses crippling what is probably our states best walleye fishery? When you can...
