AT THE MARCH ROSEAU CITY COUNCIL MEETING, THEY AUTHORIZED THE SUBMISSION OF A GRANT THAT WOULD HELP TO REPLACE SELF-CONTROLLED BREATHING APPARATUSES FOR THE ROSEAU FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THE PARK BOARD MENTIONED APPLYING FOR GRANT DOLLARS THAT COULD ASSIST IN GETTING A PICKLEBALL COURT BUILT NEAR THE SPLASH PAD, AND IN THE WINTER, COVER THAT FINIHSED SURFACE TO BE USED AS AN ICE RINK.
THE CITY OF ROSEAU HAS BEEN AWARDED $51,900 FOR A TREE PLANTING PROJECT ACROSS 2024 AND 2025. THE PLANTING BID WAS AWARDED TO CAROL’S CEDAR CELLAR. THIS YEAR THEY WILL PLANT 100 TREES IN BOULEVARDS IN THE OAKCREST AND KLEMA SUBDIVISIONS AND ON HOLES OF OAKCREST GOLF COURSE.
KARL MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS HAS PURCHASED THE FORMER COUNTY HIGHWAY FACILITY, AND THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED APPLYING FOR A GRANT THAT WOULD ASSIST IN RENOVATING THE OFFICE AREA OF THAT BUILDING TO BE SUITABLE TO HOUSE PRIVATELY OPERATED CHILD CARE OPERATIONS. THE SPACE COULD ACCOMODATE TWO CHILD CARE PODS, UP TO 28 CHILDREN. THEY DID REITERATE THAT NEITHER KARL MANUFACTURING, NOR THE CITY OF ROSEAU, WOULD BE OPERATING THE CHILD CARE BUSINESSES.

REPORTED BY NEIL CARLSON AND INEWZ TV, TWO WINNIPEG WOMEN WERE ARRESTED AT THE WARROAD POINT OF ENTRY, IN POSSESSION OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF COCAINE. THE TWO SAID THEY WERE PAID $2000 TO DELIVER THE DRUGS TO NESTOR FALLS, ONTARIO. HOW, OR WHY, THE TWO ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE UNITED STATES WHEN IT’S NOT NECESSARY TO REACH THAT LOCATION, WAS NOT CLEAR.
THE SHARE OF MINNESOTANS WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE FELL TO AN ALL-TIME LOW LAST YEAR, TO 3.8%. THAT’S DOWN FROM 4% IN 2021 AND DOWN FROM A HIGH OF 9.1% BACK IN 2009. EVEN SO, THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SKIPPING VISITS, OR NOT GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM DUE TO THE COST WAS UP 5%.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GOLFERS TO GET OUTSIDE IS CREEPING FARTHER NORTH. MINAKWA GOLF COURSE IN CROOKSTON IS SET FOR A FULL OPENING TODAY, WITH A DECISION ON CARTS BEING ALLOWED ON THE COURSE STILL A DAY-BY-DAY DECISION. THEY SAY FOR THE MOST PART, THE MILD WINTER WAS KIND TO THE COURSE CONDITION.
