by Jodi Wojciechowski Josee Bakke became a licensed esthetician in 2022 and opened a shop, The Skinery, in Roseau. An esthetician is a licensed skin care professional that offers treatments and personalized recommendations to improve the health and appearance of the skin. She had left Roseau after high school to attend college in the Nutrition and Dietetics field. "I always felt a passion for helping others!" said Josee. She had felt her calling of nursing was the choice for her but blood and...
Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach recently visited the area. Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach stopped by Mr. Landman's Civic class at Roseau High School and interacted with his students. She was able to answer questions about her legislative experience and history, as well as discuss current legislation and issues. The Congresswoman was impressed by how the students are keeping up with current events and with the deep questions they had for her. She toured both the high school and elementary...
by Jeff Olsen On February 17, junior Jordan Borowicz was honored during Roseau's home game against Warroad after he scored his 3,000th point early in the game. Nobody could have imagined that, by the end of the game he would score 70 points. Not a state record but very impressive since he isn't seven-feet-tall or even six-feet-tall. He's five-eleven! Sometimes, there's too much emphasis put on athletes and not whether the high school phenom can read. Oh, he can read just fine. Varsity...

All last week, photos arrived from good friends like Mark Hultgren, Swede Olson, Andy Przekwas and various parents down at the State Wrestling Tournament, which was held at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul. Forever, the joint had been the Xcel Energy Center or just the Xcel. Possibly, the naming rights go to the highest bidder. Right off last Wednesday, I spotted an unusual name in the digital brackets that highlighted America's diversity, which is a wonderful thing. Two of the wrestlers, at...
We have to spring ahead one more time this Sunday night. What seems to be a reasonable suggestion would be to spring ahead a half hour instead of a whole hour and leave well enough alone. We are less than three weeks from the first day of spring. That is according to the calendar and means almost nothing. April and November are the months that usually show the most change from beginning to end. It was a little scary to watch the “blizzard of 66” on the news and remember it well. Those sixty years did not seem to take very long. Life is...
I reached ahead to grab the little hand of the one leaving the pew. He was out of here—per usual! The two-year old’s inner clock was ticking and as if right on cue as pastor stepped up to the microphone to begin his message, the little one shared his password as he exited. “Toys!” Leaving the fishy crackers, cars, building blocks, and water bottle behind, I knew he was a man on a mission! As he headed into the space offered to little ones while the big people were left behind, he knew the course well. Down the steps and to the left he...

After working 12 years at building, growing and managing a Century 21 franchise office located in Anchorage, it was once again time for the annual "ALASKA BOARD OF REALTORS" Convention which they held at different locations every year. And this year, the location for the convention was in Girdwood, Alaska, and at the amazingly beautiful Alyeska Ski Resort. And I drove down there that morning (just 35 miles south from Anchorage) to participate in the day of training and updating licensed "REALTORS" (not just real estate agents, mind you), but...
During last week's storms that tracked along the north shore of Lake Superior, I took a little time to brave my way to the lake front. Silver Bay has two beaches on Lake Superior that draw many visitors. I often hear the first referred to as Peach Beach; a beach that is easy to find. On the other hand, one had to look for the other, Black Beach. Since then, the city has made Black Beach much more accessible. They extended the road, put in a parking lot, and vault-house restrooms, making it...

Eldyne Erickson of Roseau was presented with her 75 year membership pin for 75 years of...
Chapter 10, Procrastination Alpine had a thought concerning future events, “concerning myself I understand, there is a tendency to overthink. Can anything be made clearer by giving myself a headache? Why do I resist the urge to go ahead and just start something?” She had listened to an interaction between two aggressive people, actually they both were in leadership. The one said to the other, “if your house is on fire, you need to just get yourself outside of the house, not stay in it. If you stay in it you will be destroyed. Then after...
