By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief There have been several reports lately in the Fargo/Moorhead area of some suspicious activity regarding potential human trafficking.   Below is an article that I found online (www.allprodad.com) outlaying basic safety skills to keep us all safe.  This is more of a reminder and is a bit outdated.  I will have… Read More

To the Editor, I want  to share with your readers a story that tells something about life in Frazee.  A few days after my husband died, I received a lovely plant with a card signed, “The First Graders”.   Eighty years ago, Charleen (Rein) Schemerhorn, Mary Ann (Ketter) Moore, Pat (Ebeltoft) Pfeifer,  Ruthie (Dunn) Morrow and I started … Read More

It’s hard to know how to put governance of our democracy back to normal order. Judging from the thousands of Facebook comments from every economic and social class, it is obvious that general, common education on the basics of governing is sadly lacking.  Most troubling is the unwarranted devotion to individual politicians despite obvious actions they… Read More
