By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief Snow season is finally here. Please be considerate and move your vehicles in a timely manner so the city crew can keep our streets open for safe travel.  If the plow goes by and you are parked on the street, please park in another location so the plow can get to… Read More

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

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
