'by Ryan Honl Golf is a challenge. Ask anyone who's grabbed the clubs for at least one round and they'll tell you it's more than just hitting a ball into a hole. It takes a lot of self-discipline to get through the mental and physical challenges. Just when you think you've got it down, there goes the ball into the rough or worse, the water. A scuba diver could probably make a living out of recovering golf balls from the Roseau River winding along the Oakcrest Golf Course. Golf is great for...

by Jeff Olsen At age 80, Jean Pederson is much more than the 2024 Roseau County Outstanding Senior Citizen Volunteer. Putting a label on this versatile senior citizen is like trying to lasso a comet. "She's unbelievable," said Carmen Przekwas, who's observed "Mean Jean" for over half a century. If bowling pins could talk, they'd say she throws a wicked ball.

by Jeff Olsen Andy and Rachel Przekwas have seen much better days on Lake of the Woods competing in tournaments.

"The weather was so hot and the fishing was...

She's a city girl who took to farming like she was born for the farm life and handled the swathing and trucking chores to make Byfuglien Trucking sit up and take notice.
