Is this a good night? “Any time you’re playing for $50 or more, it’s a good night,” he said, adding that there would be chances on at least four $500 to $700 bingo prizes. The action stopped when one of the veterans announced, “We have a winner!” Yes, indeed! This game was for $50, and Badger’s Jen Glodowski was handed a crisp $50 bill. But she didn’t have long to chat because they would soon start calling a new game. Jen is not a regular, but she had an explanation for her good luck. “I didn’t bring my husband so that’s why I probably won,” she said and there were some giggles. And for a very good reason. It was Girls Night Out at their table. PhOtO OF the Week Still waiting for the ice to melt on the Warroad River. Submitted by: Sharon Laznicka Standing nearby was Val Bernat, who had just finished a stint of calling bingo when another vet took over. Mr. Bernat, a thin, tall gentleman, was wearing his usual cowboy hat and is reminiscent of the late Slim Pickens. While acting was Slim’s game, Val’s game is bingo. How long is the bingo season? It was like asking a dedicated runner if he/she only runs half the year. “It’s every Friday night year around. We only miss Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, and Polaris Day,” he said, adding that the VFW also doesn’t have bingo during the Roseau County Fair. Of course, they don’t. They run the bingo stand at the fair all five days. Bernat knows the serious players like a baseball scout knows who can hit a curve ball and who’s the best, game in and game out. “See that table over against the wall. Dave and Elaine Sonsteng always sit there,” he said. Bernat smiled in appreciation. VFW BINGO continued on page 2 MarC hedlUNd kNOWs hOMes aNd a sWeet MaNhattaN Behind the bar Where are they Now? by Jeff Olsen Imagine tending bar at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, which is one of the world’s biggest biker rallies and includes an unbelievable cast of characters, some of whom have done hard time and don’t always say, “Thank you, bud.” Just pour them a drink and don’t grin at their missing teeth or chewed off ears. Marc Hedlund, a 1996 Roseau High School graduate, smiles at that 2011 memory. Recently, he was tracked down in the Fargo-Moorhead area where he’s in a new racket these days after bartending and managing bars. “I’m in real estate with Hatch Realty,” he said, and then put the final tap on 15 years in the bar business. “For many years, I managed O’Leary’s Irish Pub in Moorhead,” he said. For a bartender, working in a saloon during Sturgis is like dealing Blackjack in Vegas. “I did a little freelancing and went out to Sturgis for the bike rally and helped the Easy Rider Saloon in their first year of business,” he said, adding that he spent 16 days out there working 16 hour days or longer. “I worked around a lot of great people and a lot of crazy people,” he said. Yes, the Hell’s Angels were there. “To say the least, it was interesting,” he said, and then laughed when asked the toughest drink to make. He hedged a moment and then admitted that his Manhattans are sweeter than they should be. “I was always a good speed bartender. I could make a lot of drinks really quick. I wasn’t a finesse bartender.” He didn’t know it then that he’d someday be in real estate. But working behind a bar is like being a psychologist most days. Maybe that’s what has made him a successful realtor. “For sure,” he said, adding that he started in real estate three years ago while he was managing Sidestreet Grille & Pub. “It’s kind of a hipster bar and opened my eyes to it doesn’t matter who you are or what you do as long as you’re a nice person,” he said. “No matter what - gay, straight, white, black or gray anybody could have a good time there.” And he’d probably still be managing bars. “I turned 21 and got my first bartending job,” he said. “It wasn’t long after that that I decided to take a break from UND. Bartending was really good money.” Very quickly, he got thrust in management and credits his late grandpa, Barney Ross, for ! G N I R P S K N I TH “LOTS OF SLIGHTLY USED VEHICLES JUST IN TIME FOR THE WARM WEATHER!” instilling in him a work ethic similar to there is no free lunch. “I started working for him at age 12,” he said about his job at Barney’s hardware store in Roseau. New Career “My wife, Holly, had just graduated from nursing school. We had one kid and another on the way,” he said, adding that he was working until 4 a.m. and getting up at 7 a.m. to help with their daughter. “It just wasn’t working out in the bar business,” he said and, of course, there are always turns and twists in life. He credits his wife’s friend with giving Holly a suggestion on a new line of work. “I think Marc should look into getting into real estate,” she said. “I think he would be really good.” Shortly, he met Erik Hatch, studied online to get his real estate license, and went to work for Hatch Realty in Fargo. “I’m in charge of the Listing Department,” he said, explaining that he sold 124 homes in 2015 for just under $24 million. “My job on the team is to help people sell their homes. I discuss prices and strategies and then I list them,” he said. “We have a different part of our team that helps the buyer.” It’s been an unbelievable ride. “We have been named the number one team in North Dakota by the Wall Street Journal for the last three years now,” he said.

They make it a little easier for those who are playing between 9 and 12 cards by having the number (B6) displayed on TV screens placed strategically in different areas. Once the number appears on the screens, it’s about two seconds later that the number is announced, and it keeps going like that as everyone moves quickly, blotting out the numbers with special colored markers. So, it’s not like you’re in class and can daydream. This is for the money, and everybody is concentrating because they don’t want to miss a number. The Action Walk around the room and ask someone’s name and how continued from front page they’re doing and forget about Roseau Nice. “Go on, get out of here!” said one gal, a very serious bingo player who appeared to be about a 1933 model. Inside the VFW last Friday evening, a nice crowd was on hand, both in the dining area and out in the bar. Shortly, there was another $50 winner and Warroad’s Jim and Luella Cash admitted to being serious bingo players. “I won a thousand about three or four years ago,” said Jim, who grinned when asked if this is what keeps him coming back. “Oh yeah, and I gotta drive these two,” he said, nodding towards his wife, Luella, and another Warroad gal. Who’s the young lady sitting next to your wife? Phyllis Haggan beamed. “I own the greenhouse in Warroad,” she said, and giggled when told that she didn’t have to tell her age. “I’m 83,” she said. Ms. Haggan is looking very good in bingo and in life, and she looked up in amazement when asked if she’s ever had a winner. It was like asking Loretta Lynn if she can sing. “I won two $1,200 games,” she said, rounding off the grand prize of $1,199. In fact, she is a 10-time winner of the big money from $500 to $1,199. She laughed when informed that she can buy a lot of flowers for that kind of loot. She is bingo’s finest ambassador. Jackie Morey, who was sitting at her usual table near the bingo caller, can be considered a bingo veteran at the VFW. She estimated that she’s been playing here for 20 years. “It’s been a long time, and it’s fun and something to do,” she said as she quickly scanned and blotted out N33 on any of her nine bingo cards. Bingo Specials This isn’t the big top where the suckers walk out of the tent knowing they’ve been had. Every game has a winner. “We have Bar Bingo from 57 p.m., and you pay a dollar for a sheet with three bingo games on it,” said Mr. Bernat. At 7 p.m., it’s the Main Event and each player buys a packet for $20. All the special games are progressive and start at 54 numbers with a chance to win $500. “If nobody wins, they keep playing for the consolation prize, which is $99,” he said, explaining that it increases by $100 each week until there are 60 numbers and a winner could walk off with $1,199. Which will buy baby new shoes! “In every one of those special games, you’re going to win at least $99 if you win,” said Bernat, explaining that if it takes 75 number somebody is going to win the consolation prize. “And if there’s a small crowd, we’re still going to pay out $99,” he said. Welcome to Economics Jackie Morey Jen Glodowski Bingo 101. “If there’s a small crowd, we can go in the hole,” he said. Some of the volunteer workers during any Friday Night Bingo tally up the turnout like a politician looking around an auditorium to see if he/she is drawing a good crowd. This is very important for the Roseau VFW since they annually donate between $26,000 and $28,000 for local groups, teams, and area veterans. Always, it’s a numbers game whether it’s baseball or bingo. Last Friday evening, nobody collected any the big prizes, which now will increase by another 100 bucks and one more number. It’s like the Power Ball Lottery, but it’s much better. There were many winners on Friday evening even if the big prizes went unclaimed. Still, someone won $99 in each of the biggies. Oh, they’ll be back. Everybody who plays Friday Night Bingo at the Roseau VFW loves it and lives for a sentence of just four words. “We have a winner!” MARC HEDLUND “Jim is going great, and he’s definitely an all-star on our team. He has a different role than I do,” he said, explaining that Mr. Rentfrow, a 1999 RHS graduate, is one of the inside sales agents. “This is a company that is dedicated to personal and professional growth,” he said, crediting Erik Hatch, 36, with putting together a great team. “Erik was a youth minister before he was a realtor,” he said. adding that Mr. Hatch is a North Fargo native and an NDSU graduate. What’s the toughest part of making a real estate deal? “It’s probably just getting sellers to understand that sometimes their homes, as much pride as they have in them, are only worth as much as the market dictates,” he said.

The Award Winner In late March, Erik Hatch spoke about his company, and Marc Hedlund’s great accomplishments since coming on board. “He came to me as a referral from somebody on my team, who said, ‘This guy will be really good in real estate!’ “He came to us as somebody who had every set of skills and had no idea how great he was,” said Mr. Hatch, who noted that last Christmas [email protected] Dr. Philip B. Sallberg is pleased to announce the partnership with Dr. Nghi Trinh-Pham. Dr. Pham joins the practice with 21 years experience of dental practice. Offerings of the practice include • Orthodontics with free initial consultation • Family dentistry • Cosmetic dentistry • Extractions • Urgent care Hours: Monday-Thursday 7:30 am to 5 pm Fridays by Appointment Now Taking Appointments • 218-463-1070 Let’s Get ready for some outdoor Grilling! was the first year ever that the company awarded an MVP award. “Everybody in the company voted, and Marc was the obvious choice,” he said. “He sold 125 homes last year, and this year he’s sold 40 and it’s still March.” Mr. Hatch added that being the top salesman is honored with the top listing agent of the year award. “But the MVP has more to do with character than sales,” he said. “We wanted to acknowledge the person who has the most impact on our business.” He paused a moment. “Of course, the number of homes you sell plays a part in that,” he said. “But we look more at the heart of the person and who they are and what they do to make a difference in our business.” Erik Hatch honoring Marc with the MVP Award Maybe every company should have an award like that. Mr. Hatch concurred with that. He’s just happy that Marc is on his team at Hatch Realty in Fargo and then noted that they had a costume party the evening of the award ceremonies. They do dress up at Hatch Realty.

The Republicans are authoring a bill designating bathroom and locker room use based on biological sex. Never thought this would be an issue, did you? Well, the times are a changing. It was noted on MPR News that this bill won't be voted on this year. But it's a growing issue. Call it the freedom to pee where you want. Out here in the forest, I'd suggest any tree will do - or use the outhouse. However, never pee near my well. You get to my age, which is a senior citizen, and the term transgender is relatively new and takes some getting used to. If ever. And I'm pretty liberal. Some would say I'm a communist. If Bob feels he is really Bobbie and identifies as a female, that's his/her perogative. But if Bobbie is fully bearded and has a deep voice that is now falsetto, God bless him too. But should Ms. Bobbie be using the women's bathroom? I know what my old man would say, and he's been dead since 1968. But I can't print it here because someone recently complained that I occasionally use hell and bastard in my columns. But what my old man would say would be far more colorful. And none of it appropriate for the older gentleman who called the Times-Region to complain about my lack of civility. But back to the bathroom scenario. On Tuesday at the capital, there was an hour and a half hearing by the House Civil Law Committee. I wasn't there, of course, but it was reported that it was a stimulated debate. Okay, it was reported that it was an emotional one. Both sides believe firmly on the fairness or the unfairness of not allowing transgender individuals to use their preferred facilities. Read on: Supporters used their allotted time to argue that expectations of privacy shouldn't be trumped by transgender accommodations, with some saying that relying on legal prot ections based on gender self-identification or sexual orientation are ripe for abuse. The other day, I talked with a new AARP member, a 55-yearold Roseau gal who was having nothing to do with opening up the women's locker room to men or boys who identify as females. "No way," she said. End of argument and who can argue with that? Not me. Read on: "Anyone can claim to be transgender, even sexual predators who are not in fact trans- gender," said Minneapolis attorney Melissa Coleman. She added, "Inviting men into women's bathrooms puts women and girls at risk of sexual assault." You gotta take a stand. Or take a seat if that is your preferred way of relieving yourself. Read on: Kate Ives, who spoke of being uncomfortable at her health club, said she fears being called "transphobic" for advocating the bill, which would reserve women's restroom facilities for people biologically defined as such and men's restrooms in equal fashion. These are challenging times. In my long life, I have never encountered anyone who claimed to be transgender. Yes, they are around us, trapped in the wrong bodies that they want no part of, whether it's a female feeling she's a male or a male feeling he's a female. Ms. Ives, quoted above, understands their predicament. "I am trying to be sensitive to their feelings, but I don't believe I need to relinquish my right to privacy and safety," she said. Yes, there are two sides to this debate. Looking at it from the transgender side, they see this proposed bill as an invitation for further discrimination. The MPR article quoted Riah Roe, a transgender woman in the Twin Cities who had been required to show her ID before being allowed into a restaurant restroom. "I have the right to exist, to present as I wish, to be called what I like. And I have the right to use the bathroom," Roe said. Well said. The article also quoted Rep. Barb Yarusso, a DFL member who represents Shoreview and has a transgender son. She described the proposed bill as both misguided and discriminatory. Read on: Fear does not equal danger, and, people, the whites-only bathrooms were justified by fear and privacy concern," Yarusso said. "As a mom, I am afraid for my son's safety. Needing to pee is a basic biological need. If my son can't go to the men's room with his beard, he's not going to be able to go to the women's room with his beard. This bill treats my son like a dog because he can't pee inside a public accommodation." There's one way to solve this dilemma, at least if you have to pee. Ever been to the Altru Clinic in Roseau? They have bathrooms that have both a urinal and a toilet stall. These bathrooms are for either sex, and you lock the door after you enter. Of course, in most bars and restaurants, there are men's and women's facilities. And therein lies the problem. You either have to have someone do a reality check on the person's anatomy, or you redesign all the bathrooms to accommodate a single person at a time. Somebody else will have to figure out the locker rooms. It could come to this. They can start dressing at home and coming to the pool or gym in their preferred sportswear. "You look positively charming in your bikini, Bobbie!" The Gun Dolls On NPR News on Tuesday, there was a great piece head- lined: Does carrying a pistol make you safer? But what was really interesting was the subtitle further down: What do women think about guns? Yes, women are fond of their pieces. Read on: The gun girls talk about their firearms differently than men do. Guys speak of them as tools; these women talk about them like pets. The piece quoted Robyn Sandoval, the executive director of A Girl & A Gun, a women's shooting league that is nationwide. "We name our guns," Sandoval says. "I have Francesca, Dolly, Gracie. And we talk about 'em like, 'I'm takin' Gracie to the mall with us.' "My small one is my Baby," says schoolteacher Bettylane Chambliss. "And my dad will say, 'Do you have your gun with you?' And I went, 'Oh yeah, I got Baby with me. I'm fine.” It's a long piece by John Burnett on NPR, dated April 12, 2016, and it didn't seem biased. Read on: "If you're in Paris and you see people coming with AKs into your rock concert, that sucks. But it sucks worse if you're unarmed," says festival producer Robert Farago. "I'm not saying that being armed is gonna save your life, but at least you have an effective tool to mount some kind of defense." If you've got Baby with and it's fully loaded, you and Baby got a chance to take out a few of those bastards. Permanently! down for the count for quite a long period of time. However...if I lay chilly when the minor throbbing pain sets in...I will only be laid up for a few days. So...at least in my personal instance...pain acts as a harbinger to avoid deliberating... crippling long term pain. Which is a good thing. Not to sound bluntly inappropriate...but whenever I was seriously injured...I figured if I was in pain then I was still alive. Pain equals survival. Surviving a potential injury or disease equals a greater appreciation of life...the circumstances and people in your life. Nothing incites an enjoyment of living a fuller life than having spit in the Devil’s eye. Oh...you might not walk away unscarred but you will be still sucking air. Ironically...a guy would think love should never involve pain. But...reality manages to sabotage this idealistic fairy tale real quick. Love involves pain. In fact...love sometimes involves pain just as debilitating as any injury or disease. As many of us keenly know ...the emotional dismay stemming from a lost love can manifest itself in physical ways. However...as the old saying goes...“Never having loved and lost...is never having loved at all.” It seems to be a given...a basic fact within the fullness of human life that each of us matures through interactions with our fellow humans. Each interaction broadens our life experience...educates and matures us...creates our individual personalities. I would opine these interactions serve to civilize...socialize us in a world that is actually quite uncivilized. Now...before y’all get to jumping on my chest...allow me to advise it is a facet of reality some of us never really evolve into a 100% percent civilized or socialized personality. Honestly...I include myself among this number of never fully civilized barbarians. I would also suspect...very few of us can lay claim to being 100% civilized or socialized since these highly desirable qualities...attributes are diluted and influenced by too many other elements impacting our individual maturity process. Hence...all of us most likely have some flaws tending to degrade our social interactions throughout our lifespans. Flaws do exist but luckily for society as a whole...most of us being aware of our flaws are able to keep them under control. Right about now...I suspect many of you are wondering what all this jibber-jabber about flaws has to do with love. The point is...environmental factors play a large part in how an individual defines love. Love...especially immature early loves are basically learning experiences designed to teach how to conduct oneself in a long lasting mature loving relationship. I suppose...a guy could define a mature relationship as one socially and culturally acceptable. However...in order to evolve into this definition of a loving relationship...an individual has to have been exposed throughout their years of growing to maturity by other positive mature relationship. However...the fact is --- many of us never had these role models to emulate in their own relationships. Thus...their definitions of how a loving relationship should be is actually in quite a few instances radically askew. Askew to the extent of being violent. While...on the surface...the appearance seems to be violence committed within a relationship is a male issue...in my experience domestic violence is also a female issue. Both males and females will commit violence within a relationship because to a great extent it is learned behavior. Each of us has a preconceived vision of an ideal partner. This vision is formed by the criteria...the influences we experience during our formative years. Indeed...I would say the “puppy loves”...the teenage crushes...the loves found...the loves lost along with the pain...heartaches involved in these transitional relationships carry us down the road to emotional maturity. The pain inherent in the cessation of these relationships is a good thing. Allow me to finish up with saying...both dysfunctional and loving relationships are generational phenomena. Our children’s relationships will be largely influenced by our relationships. Even their choice of partners and their interactions with these partners will be influenced by us. Wh ile...you may laugh at this...in my experience men seem to be attracted to women with similar attributes as their mothers. Women seem to be attracted to men like their fathers. Look at it this way...I am what is referred to as “woman dependent” attracted to women who may not resemble my mother but who share her attributes. Well...at least most of her attributes. One reason for this tendency is...I was raised in a “matriarchal culture”. This particular culture describes specific roles to men and women...fathers and mothers. While the father is defined as the head of the family...the decision maker...the mother is the core...the rock around which the family depends. To be blunt...the nuclear family can survive without a patriarch but it can’t survive without a matriarch. To quote a Greek saying...“The father is the head of the family but the mother is the neck.” Think about it. Does not the neck quietly control the direction of the head? Pain Al Buffum Buff’s Stuff This will totally...absolutely sound like the ravings of a madman to you guys...but I find it ironic and somewhat amazing to discover pain and love have very much in common. Obviously...pain and love are integral...associated elements of life. For sure...logically pain and love would appear to be on directly opposite extreme ends of the range of human experiences. After all...we tend to view pain as a negative thing and love as a very positive experience. However...philosophically speaking...if an individual has never experienced bodily pain or never been in love...he or she really hasn’t been given the opportunity to appreciate life to the fullest. Actually...physical pain...despite the fact it can really be debilitating...hurt like hell...is our body’s method of communicating the existence of an injury or some form of physical dysfunction. Hence...physical pain can be interpreted as a good thing. I know...in my own case...my frequent reoccurrences of now decades old service injuries are foretold by minor spasms of pain. Now...if I opt to ignore these omens...I will soon find myself Tax Day is April 18: Department of Revenue has tips for taxpayers This year’s income tax filing season ends on April 18, and as the date approaches, the Minnesota Department of Revenue offers tips to help taxpayers as they get ready to file their returns. “With just days left in the filing season, we know many Minnesotans are still preparing to file their taxes. These tips can make tax filing easier and protect taxpayers from potential refund fraud through identity theft,” said Revenue Commissioner Cynthia Bauerly. “We know people rely on their tax refunds and we are working to review returns as quickly as we can, but protecting taxpayer refunds from thieves means that some returns could take longer to process than in prior years.” Income tax filing tips: • E-file and choose direct deposit. Electronically filing your return and choosing direct deposit for your refund is the most secure and convenient way to file your taxes and get your refund. •Enter your name and any dependents names exactly as they appear on Social Security cards. Incorrect names or Social Security numbers can result in refund delays. •Double-check bank routing and account numbers used on tax forms for direct deposit. Incorrect account numbers can delay your refund. •Complete each form and carry totals to the correct lines. If you electronically file, the calculations are automatically done for you. •Do not staple or use paperclips on your paper return. Staples and paperclips on tax returns need to be removed by hand and can slow down processing. •If you are paper filing your return with a new address, be sure to place an X in the “Place an X if a New Address” box in the header. Otherwise, the new address may not be picked up by our system, and a refund check or letter may not get to you. •If you move after filing your return, contact us right away. That way anything sent to you will reach you, such as refund checks or requests for more information. You should do this even when requesting a direct deposit. Call us at 651-296-3781 or 1-800-6529094 (toll-free) to change your address. •File your return by the April 18, 2016 due date, even if you owe more than you can pay. Pay as much as you can by the due date and contact us as soon as possible to set up a payment plan for the remaining balance. Acting quickly can help to minimize any late payment penalties.

[email protected] Saturday, April 16, 2016 • Page 5 Minnesota Corn Growers, U of M Bee Lab offer tips on making your farm more pollinator-friendly As farmers take to the fields for spring planting, the Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) and the University of Minnesota Bee Lab are reminding farmers to keep their farms as pollinatorfriendly as possible. “By taking some simple precautions, farmers can continue making a big difference in protecting pollinating insects like bees and butterflies,” said Noah Hultgren, a farmer in Raymond, Minn., and President of MCGA. Both MCGA and the Bee Lab recommend the following while planting: · Minimize dust. Follow planter manufacturer instructions when using treated seed to minimize abrasion. When possible, use deflector equipment to direct exhaust toward the ground. · Timing. Apply pesticides near bee colonies at dawn or dusk, when bees are not flying. · Prevent drift. Spot spray pests when possible and prevent drift during application. Follow federal guidelines found on insecticide labels and do not allow insecticides to drift onto flowering plants. · Low toxicity. When possible, use pesticide formulations with low toxicity to pollinators, particularly bees. According to Marla Spivak, a MacArthur Fellow, Distinguished McKnight Professor and Extension Entomologist with the U of M’s Bee Lab, honey bees forage 3 miles or more, on average, around their colony every day when temperatures are above 55 degrees. “It is important beekeepers and farmers have an open line of communication about insecticide use,” Spivak said. “Beekeepers cannot move their bees or close them up to prevent exposure to pesticides, so it is important for applicators to follow the label and not apply bee-toxic insecticides, or allow them to drift onto flowers while bees and other pollinators are foraging during the day.” Spivak also highlighted the importance of working together. “Farmers and beekeepers can coordinate activities if there is good communication between them,” she said. “Beekeepers understand the need to control crop pests, and they welcome the opportunity to work together with farmers to ensure effective management of row crop agriculture while protecting and maintaining the health of bees.” MCGA and the Bee Lab also suggest taking the following steps to make your farm more pollinator-friendly: · Floral resources. Plant abundant, diverse and appealing floral resources in areas in and around your farm, and keep those flowers from pesticide drift and contamination. Examples include forbs, shrubs and blooming trees. Use small and large spaces in the farm landscape to create habitat · Plant diversity. Add pollinator-friendly plants along buffers near waterways, fallow fields, set-aside acres, field and road borders, ditches and wetlands. · Inter-seeding. To increase species diversity, introduce pollinator-friendly plants into existing stands of grass. · Grouping. Group individual flowers together to provide easier and more efficient access for bees. For more information on pollinator-friendly planting practices and making your farm more accessible to pollinating insects, go to mncorn.org/research and click on MCGA’s Pollinator Guide.

Mitchell is an 8th grade student at Roseau Community School. He won the school level geography bee on January 27th, by beating out the top 2 qualifiers from each of grades 4-8 (9 other students). He then took a qualifying test online. We received notification in March that his test score had qualified him for the state level of competition. He is only the third student from Roseau in almost 20 years to score high enough on the state test to qualify for the state level competition! The Minnesota State Geography Bee was held Friday, April 1st, at St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota. There were 103 student from grades 5-8 statewide that had qualified to participate in the state competition. The participants were randomly divided into one of five rooms for the preliminary competition. In each room, they were each asked 8 questions, one from each of 8 different rounds. The cate- gories ranged from general knowledge of the 50 states, to questions about facts from around the world that were from the popular National Geographic “Weird But True” book series, as well as a round titled “Odd Item Out” in which participants had to pick the country that did not belong with the others based on clues given in their question. Mitchell answered six out of the eight questions correctly in the preliminary round, beating the majority of the other 17 participants in his group. Unfortunately, in order to possibly continue on to the tiebreaker round, he needed to score a seven. Only 10 of the 103 students go on to the final round of competition. The state winner continues on to Washington, DC in May to attempt to qualify for the National Geography Bee finals which air on television. The national champion wins a $50,000 scholarship. Congratulations to Mitchell on his success at state. 7th Annual Father/Daughter Prom at the Roseau High School Gym Sunday, April 24th - 1 to 4 p.m. Dad's and Grandpa's it's that time to ask out your daughters and grand-daughters to the Father Daughter Prom!

Edward was born on January 21, 1916, at home in Warroad to Elmer and Janet Ellen “Nellie” (Buchan) Brandli. He grew up in a family of 11 siblings while working on the family farm. He attended Roseau County School #78, Clearriver Township, and the Crookston Agricultural School. On June 25, 1938, Edward married Agnes Lund in Warroad at the Zion Parsonage with Pastor Royal Peterson officiating. During their early married years, they farmed, milked Holsteins and raised beef cattle on their farm located south of Warroad. In 1972, they retired and sold their farm to their son. After retirement, Edward and Agnes traveled throughout Europe, Canada, and all of the 50 United States. Their last 27 married years were spent by wintering in Brownsville, Texas and returning to the MN farm for the summer months. Agnes died on July 21, 2001 after 63 years of marriage to Edward. Edward served 15 years on the Warroad School Board and four years on the MN State School Board Association. He also chaired the Hospital, Creamery, Farmer’s Union, Cattleman’s, Union Congregational Church and North Star Vocational Boards. He served 24 years on the Roseau County Fair Board, the MN State Fair Board, and made appearances at the Fair for over 90 continuous years. In Texas he was elected president of the Brownsville Winter Resident’s Club along with he and Agnes being crowned King and Queen of the Club. Edward received the following awards: 1930 4-H St. Louis, MO Livestock Show Trip, 1957 Red River Valley Honor Dairyman, 1958 Valley Farmer and Homemaker, 1966 Soil Conservation Roseau County, 1976 Extra Mile Vocational North Star, 2005 Roseau County Senior Citizen and Warroad Senior Living Center Volunteer. Besides Edward proudly sharing his leadership skills with many organizations, he enjoyed sharing with people his uplifting stories, jokes and poems he memorized as a young boy. He liked to dance and play cards, but his “hobby” was “work”. He was very aware of what “attitude” meant in life and lived by the words, “Things usually work out for the best, if you make the best of how things work out.” Edward is survived by five children, Allan (Nancy) Brandli of Liberty, Texas, Arthur (Nancy) Brandli of Warroad, Ethelyn (Wayne) Odell of Rochester, Evonne (Tom) Anderson of Audubon, and Karen (Wes) Pederson of Warroad; 14 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; and 23 great-great-grandchildren; siblings, Kathryn Olson of Soldotna, Alaska, Evelyn (Don) Berry of Warroad, and Will Brandli of Warroad; sisters-in-law, Luella Brandli of Mesa, Ariz. and Mavis Brandli of Warroad, along with nephews, nieces, other relatives and friends.

Normally it would be a usual trip for me - except I have spent the past few weeks recovering from a major medical complication which caused a major head injury and lots of carpet burns which have healed beautifully. Because two ambulance rides to E.R.’s, an ICU and almost a week in the Grand Forks hospital and several weeks in a nursing home, there’s just too many people to name. A few of them are my grocery delivery person, police, ambulance drivers and staff, management, one sister and her drivers. I’ll just say “thank you” to all. Miracles still happen and I thank Christ and my Guardian Angel that I didn’t hurt myself even worse when I fell. Prayers, Shirley Magnuson Ad & News copy deAdliNe wednesday at Noon Email Us!

It was the day before which will not soon, if ever, be forgotten. “We were in Bemidji for a track meet,” she said, recalling Tuesday’s events and what would shortly transpire. “I left the meet early yesterday. I felt like something was starting to happen,” she said. Mothers do have premonitions, “My parents and my sister drove down with me in my dad’s pickup just to be safe,” she said with a light chuckle. Like maybe something other than delivering her baby in a crowded school bus. “We left Bemidji around 4:30, about halfway through the meet,” she said and there was no way they were going to make it all the way back to the hospital in Roseau. “She was born at 6:20 south of Wannaska,” said Becky. “She was born as I was getting into the ambulance. I guess you can say the baby was born in Wannaska.” She recalled asking her dad, Sam Evans, to pull over because her water had broke. “I told him to stop and not to drive any farther,” she said. They weren’t going to go this alone. An ambulance from LifeCare Medical Center in Roseau was on its way. “We had to wait about five or six minutes, and the ambulance met us by Mile Marker 110 south of Wannaska,” she said. The baby didn’t need a starting pistol to make her arrival. “The delivery was before they even moved,” said Becky. Now meet Maggie Marie, who was born at 6:20 p.m. south of Wannaska with the Saturday, April 16, 2016 • Page 9 Meet the 2016 Ram wrestling award winners Blake Skogstad, Riley Eidsmoe, Erik Karl, and Ben Olson Ken and Becky and the “Track Baby” honors going to nurse Roxy Kjos. Officially, Maggie weighed in at 7 pounds, 1 ounce and measured 20 inches. Is this your first child? “No, this is our third daughter,” she said. It’s not like her parents, Sam and Jane Evans, or her sister, Heidi, will forget this Bemidji track meet and trying to beat the stork home to Roseau. Maggie’s due date was April 20th, but she’s an April 12th addition to the future girls volleyball and track teams. Becky will also be the Roseau head volleyball coach next fall. “She’s a pretty girl,” said her mother, who was asked about her husband, Ken Hayden, also a teacher and coach in Roseau. “My husband was at the hospital waiting for us. He didn’t know any of this was happening until 6 o’clock, 20 minutes before it happened because I knew he’d be so nervous that I didn’t want to tell him.” She has this delightful laugh. “I’m feeling good and I’m pretty thankful,” she said. “If the ambulance would have been two or three minutes slower, I’m pretty sure my mom would have had to deliver the baby.” She laughed when asked if her dad would have helped with the delivery. “Well, maybe!” she said. Forevermore, Maggie Marie will know the interesting story of her birth. “She was ready to come out whether they were there or not,” she said. “The ambulance got there just in time.” by Jeff Olsen On Sunday evening at the Roseau School Commons, head coach Aaron Rose and his assistants, Tony Jenson and Scott Mooney, saluted the award winners and recapped the 2015-16 season which saw the Rams end their regular season with a 5 & 10 record and see junior Blake Skogstad qualify to the state wrestling tourney. The Rams, who are in a rebuilding process, had some highlights during the season, earning runner-up honors at the nine team Crookston Tournament. The Awards Three wrestlers were in the running for the MVP Award Blake Skogstad, Riley Eidsmoe, and Erik Karl. Skogstad, a junior with a 21 & 5 record with 15 pins, was fantastic down the stretch as he was the Section 8A runnerup at 160. Eidsmoe, a sophomore with a 26 & 13 record who led the team in wins and pins, didn’t miss a single event or a single practice. Karl, a senior captain with a record of 22 & 18, proved to be a great role model for the younger Rams. Riley Eidsmoe is the MVP. Three wrestlers were in the running for the Hardest Worker Award - Sawyer Klatt, Chandler Mooney, and Brodie Wensloff. Klatt, an eighth grader and first-year varsity wrestler with a 4 & 19 record, proved to be a steady performer in practice and in competition at 145 pounds. Mooney, a freshman who compiled a 22 & 7 record, was a no-nonsense competitor who worked hard all season until he was sidelined by an injury. Wensloff, a freshman with a 16 & 18 record at 195 against mostly upperclassman, worked until the final buzzer. Chandler Mooney wins the Hardest Worker Award. Three wrestlers were in the running for the Most Improved Wrestler - Erik Karl, James Rauser, and Brodie Wensloff. Karl, who had 22 wins and 17 pins, showed great improvement as he won 19 more matches this season than a year ago. Rauser, who had six wins and wrestled up at least one or more weight classes, tripled his win count from a year ago. Wensloff, a tough competitor and only a freshman, upped his win total by notching 16 wins versus 7 wins as an eighth grader. Erik Karl was the Most Improved Wrestler. Four wrestlers - Connor Eidsmoe, Race Knochenmus, Ben Olson, and Brandon McCourt were in the running for the True Grit Award, presented annually to the wrestler who competes against impressive odds, never quits, and makes great sacrifices for the team. Eidsmoe, a 7th grader with a record of 11 & 16, weighed only 95 pounds and yet competed up at 113 with the tenacity of a mongoose. Knochenmus, a 7th grader with a 16 & 19 record, had a fantastic season and is a natural out on the mat. Olson, a 7th grader with a 25 & 15 record at 120 and 126, never slowed down from start to finish and was an incredible competitor. McCourt, a sophomore with an 11 & 23 record, was a big asset for the Rams in the upper weights where he was a solid competitor against tough competition. Ben Olson won the True Grit Award. Riley Eidsmoe and Blake Skogstad were honored as Hall of Falls recipients. The new varsity letter winners are Brandon McCourt, Connor Eidsmoe, Race Knochenmus, Ben Olson, Luis Enriquez, and Sawyer Klatt. Two Local ties to fighting Hawks National Champions by Jeff Olsen Last Saturday evening in Roseau, Newell and Carol Broten were celebrating along with the rest of the hockey-loving North Dakota Fighting Hawks. For a very good reason. Their grandson, Shane Gersich, a Chaska native and a freshman, scored the first goal of the game at the 11:56 mark of the first period to shoot the Hawks into a lead they never relinquished against the Quinnipiac Bobcats, the top ranked team in the nation. Mr. Broten, whose three sons played in the NHL and who has watched thousands of games, was asked if he had been on edge at the start of the game. "I was pretty nervous because I made a chocolate malt and I didn't even have to put it in the blender. I just held it in my hand," he said, smiling as his wife laughed at such nonsense. Oh, they've been here before. Their oldest son, Neal, won a etched in his memory. It was on a 4 on 4, and one of his teammates on the ice was Brock Boeser, a future NHL star, and they were down near the Quinnipiac net. "Shane got the rebound off the goalie's feet and tucked it in for the first goal," he said. How sweet it is! "I was pretty happy for him," he said. "He's worked hard. It was only his ninth goal of the season. He gets limited ice time playing for the 4th line." Late in the 1st period while on the power play, a 5 on 3, the Bobcats scored to cut the deficit to 2-1. With a scoreless 2nd period, the Shane Gersich Hawks dominated the 3rd period to Ryan “Bob” Anderson win 5-1. before flying back to Roseau. Mr. Broten, a lifelong Gopher fan, memorable evening.

"The Gophers beat North Dakota at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, and Neal scored the winning goal," he said about that third period goal in the 4-3 thriller. Now, 37 years later and at age 81, he couldn't hope for a better finish. Their grandson, Shane, is the son of Frank and Sharlene Gersich. Who wouldn't be excited? The title game was played in Tampa Bay, Florida, in front of 18,300 spectators. "Shane plays wing and his number is 19, the same as his age," said Newell, who knew the importance of North Dakota getting the first goal. "It was a very important goal because Quinnipiac was 21 & 1 this season when they scored the first goal," he said. That goal changed the tempo as the Fighting Hawks scored the first two goals to take a 2-0 lead. However, that first goal remains Baseball Rams lose opener, 8-5 by Jeff Olsen The Rams held their home opener in Thief River Falls on Tuesday afternoon, playing in TRF instead of at Gilbertson Field because of field conditions. It was a game in which the Prowlers never trailed, building up an 8-1 lead through six innings before the Rams' bats started cracking in the bottom of the 7th. But the name of the game is pitching and the Rams surrendered 11 walks. "We just didn't throw enough strikes," said head coach Tracey Wensloff, adding that they also lacked some timely hits. "We had the bases loaded in the last inning when they got us out," he said about the 4-run 7th inning. "And we had the bases loaded early in the game with 2 outs,” he said, noting that there was a fine fielding play for the third out. "That ball probably would have scored 2 runs had it gotten through," he said. Coach Wensloff did see some good signs from the season-opening loss. "I like the way we run," he said. "We've got some kids who can burn it up on the base paths." Still, he came back to what the game is all about. "We didn't throw enough strikes, and I'm a little disappointed in that point of the game," he said, adding that Athletic Hall of Fame deadline rtr@ mncable.net CLASSifiEdS LEgAL NoTiCES 218-463-1521 • [email protected] SERviCES MOLLIE'S Sewing machine servicing and scissor sharpening.
