Ask A Trooper Sgt. Jesse Grabow There are several seasonal subjects about which I have written. Wood ticks. Fishing opener. Deer hunting. Those are just a few. Perhaps it is ego; perhaps it is lack of faith; whatever it is, first columns about those subjects are columns which I don’t think I can improve. Here is another:… Read More

Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver For the first time since the pandemic, January means the release of a terrible horror movie in “Night Swim.” Actually, the pandemic only really affected January horror in 2021. It’s just that with January 2022 bringing us that nifty “Scream” reboot and January 2023 giving the world the instantly-iconic “M3GAN,” I… Read More

Publisher’s Perspective Chad Koenen I’m not sure about you but it seemed like the holidays really snuck up on me this year. Maybe it was the warmer-than-usual weather throughout the month of December and the lack of snow for Christmas, but regardless of the reason, Christmas and New Years was gone in the blink of… Read More

By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief Tales from the past….   Myself and another officer were looking for a male party with a felony warrant and had knowledge that he may be in a residence in Frazee. We knocked on the door and were asked who it was.   I replied, “Landlord” because some people don’t like… Read More

To the Editor, I am writing as a former resident of Frazee with strong family ties to the community. I am disheartened to learn about the discontinuation of Chief Tyler Trieglaff’s column, reportedly due to the decisions of two government officials. Chief Trieglaff’s weekly column, which covered events on his family beef/dairy farm and highlighted entries from… Read More

To the Editor, I whole heartedly agree with Robert Williams’ column about the police report in the Frazee Forum. I figured Mr. Trieglaff was just busy with other things the last few weeks. It never occurred to me that his columns were offensive! What right do these two council members have to censor the police chief in… Read More

The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda Research on this column, which is to be about the worst Christmas gifts ever, reminds me of a time when we The Family (Me) decided that only children–they were grown and gone– would receive gifts. Granted, we would all still get stockings, where the rule would be: If it don’t fit,… Read More

From my desk Bob Williams Over the past year, I have made a concerted effort to personally cover government at the county level. Given the fact our paper’s coverage area includes two towns in different counties, that makes for a regular schedule of at least four meetings per month that last 2-3 hours, added to the… Read More
