By Pastor Ryan  Stockstrom Harvest Fellowship Church At different times in life, especially low moments, we might ask the question, do I matter?  Is there anyone who cares about me?  Do I have a purpose?   We’ll come back those questions in a moment.  There’s a set of scriptures that has always intrigued me. Jesus spoke them in Matthew… Read More

To the Editor, The letter below was a “Letter to the Editor” in the Frazee Forum in August or September of 2017. In October of 2017, the “Frazee Public Nuisance/Property Maintenance Committee” was established by the Frazee City Council.

The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda As quite a few of you know, I read a lot. Don’t care what. Might be Chinese history; might be the history of British politics. Or about what’s really, really inside an atom’s nucleus.  If it pops up in front of me, I read it. As I’ve consumed various kinds of fiction–novels,… Read More

Society blames COVID. I agree that that may have been part of the reason.   I heard of a… Read More

Stories in the Rear View Mirror Delta Daggett I just finished reading the August 23rd issue of the Frazee-Vergas Forum. This privately owned paper is another issue chock full of local news. Perham and Detroit Lakes used to have good locally-owned papers, but are now owned by Forum Publishing in Fargo. Advertising will keep Frazee-Vergas Forum locally-owned…. Read More

Sidney Zelaya Gonzalez, 20, was pinning a king-size mattress to top of a van with the weight of her body, intent on claiming the free curb-side find, when her… Read More

Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver Here we are with another anime movie based on a property that is entirely unfamiliar to me. Actually, that’s not true – I’ve at least heard of “Dragon Ball” (though this is the first time I haven’t seen a “Z” attached) and I know its main character is named Goku.  That’s more… Read More

The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda A trip out to Finn Creek for the annual celebration reminded me of several things regarding my experiences here with people of Finnish origins. Some of those  experiences I had when I moved up here in ‘73. I worked for the local Coop, which was the Co-op back when we were improperly… Read More
