Grafton has another new resident. Casey Moe arrived in town Sunday
afternoon and will be living with Jade, Ty and Trevor Moe. Casey is a
delightfully fluffy, and colorful Yorkie puppy. It's my understanding
that Casey was intended to be "everyones" puppy. However, as soon as he
entered the household, it appears as though Jade, being the oldest (by a
full minute) claimed dominant possession.
Casey seems to have about the same colorations as Gypsie although I'm
guessing he'll be a bit bigger.

Maybe someone remembers Poland, the town, I'm pretty sure it was long
before my time. >>>

Have you ever heard of a town in ND named Poland. It was between Oslo MN
and Ardoch ND about 4 miles from the river. It had three or four
elevators, a store, and a dance hall. I had never heard of it until I
read it in the Walsh County Heritage book.
I too enjoyed the story by Frank McCann of the hardships of his Grand
Parents and their children. Thanks Frank. I worked for George McCann
driving a beet lifter in the field.
Jack Babinski <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Jack. And, I
might add, rumor has it Jack will be coming "home" for Grafton's 125
year anniversary celebration too. And, so the rumor goes, we will also
have a bona-fide Grafton Band Concert, and maybe more, this year as
well.
-------------------------
I'm guessing Donald LaBerge would really like to hear from all former
Grafton Band members who are planning on "coming home". I gotta believe
their concerts will be one of the highlights of the celebration.

Gary, Would you please put in a plug from the Tri-County Crisis
Intervention Center Souper Bowler Fund Raiser. It will be held on
Sunday, January 28, at St. John's Parish Center in Grafton from 11:00 to
1:30. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for children and your ticket
include a huge variety of homemade soups and bars, along with some fine
entertainment. This is a great way to support the domestic violence
programming in our area. I have tickets for this event, as do other
board members and employees of TCCI. If anyone would like a ticket, they
can call me at 360-3678 or e-mail me at dandtnovak@gft.midco.net. Thanks
and hope to see a good crowd at this fund-raiser.
GAZETTE SPORTS SECTION:
as reported by Chris Larson.
Greetings to all Shivercity Gazette readers. This is a first in a
series of updates from Grafton Spoilers athletics.
The hockey team defeated West Fargo 2-0 on Thursday, behind stellar
performances by Mike Sand.
The basketball team defeated Valley-Edinburg as well on Thursday.
Over the weekend, the wrestlers participated in a tournament & the GPR
Spoiler hockey team played Wahpeton-Breckenridge at home. We won that
one 6 to 3. Chris Larson
