Publisher’s Perspective Chad Koenen Last week our family took a long-awaited trip to Florida. We had been planning the trip for quite some time as a way to break up winter, and wouldn’t you know, the year we plan a winter getaway has been one of the nicest winters we have seen in Minnesota in… Read More

Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver As much as I enjoyed the fun, exciting trailers for “Argylle” that made excellent use of the film’s eclectic cast, there was one element that told me the movie was in serious trouble. Amongst shots of the cat belonging to spy novelist Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), onscreen text insisted that,… Read More

By Dick Dretsch Special to the Forum Rev. Martin Luther King once said “The time is always right to do the right thing.” February is Black History Month and so is this the birthday month of a past resident of Frazee: Betty (Iten) Dretsch who died at 97 would have been 101 years old this year.  She, like many… Read More

By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief Notes from the farm…Weighing the calves last Sunday went very well. Aside from having to run the calves in circles 4-5 times to get them into the feed bunk, they cooperated.   We move them into a different feed bunk closer to the chute and corral versus the feed bunk we… Read More

We don’t see those planners nor the recipients of the new order’s benefits…. Read More

To the Editor, I don’t see the grounds that Barry Nelson, Erica Jepson, and Dave Meyer have to fire the best administrator we have had in Becker County. I visited with Pat four times to explain things I wondered about. Pat is very smart; he works hard; he is fair and by the book. Erica said the employees… Read More

By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief The cows were pregnant-checked back in early November and we had very good results. A total of 73 of 77 were pregnant and the neighbor had 21 out of 21. Those numbers were very good for us as the vet told us that he had seen some numbers in the… Read More

The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda We listen to Park Rapids radio in the morning. They pass along to the interested-I’m-sure public what the school kids there are having for lunch. Hearing about school lunches is kind of a two-way trip down memory lane. Two-way, because One way kind of trades your current problems for those kids’… Read More
