The Park River Level this morning at the hiway 81 bridge is in the
12.85 range. Water has started spilling over the banks in the Leistikow
Park and green belt areas. I think it's interesting that many of the
folks that said they didn't think the river could come up again,
suddenly have contracted Laryngitis.

A large truckload of signs arrived this morning at Simonsons new Subway
Sandwich, Convenience Store and Gasoline Station. Opening day for the
new facility is still scheduled for the last week of April. Rumor and
Help Wanted advertisements indicate Simonsons Subway is looking for
help. If you would sooner make a Subway than eat one, they would really
like to talk to you.

It sure was nice to see the picture and read the article about John and
Cathy's "Grizzy" on the front page of Monday's Grand Forks Herald. If
you're looking for a place to go. Drive past the intersection of Grizzly
Avenue and Salmon Drive. (McHugh Avenue & 8th Street)

I must admit after sharing one "Roseauites" view of the political
spectrum, my mailbox has been considerably more active than it's been in
quite some time. At any rate, I suspect it's reasonable to assume that
the following view would, in fact, be the other side. >>>
Hi Gary
As a native (born and raised) of Roseau, and lived in the village for 57
yrs, I am appalled and ashamed that someone who claims to be a "Roseau"
person would expose himself as to be so taken in by the propaganda
that has been permeating the country from the treasoness media. What
they have been spewing for these past several years would have incurred
jail sentences in the past when we were a country with 100% loyalty to
elected officials--especially in a time of war for the salvation of our
right to our freedoms. Please be assured that while we (Roseauites)
may have had differences of opinion, most of us would not have exposed
our lack of "love of country" so explicitly.
Dr Bob <<<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Bob. And, with
that being said, I think it best to close the door on this particular
discussion.
