HISTORY with Mike Hanson
Birchdale, 1949 “If” - the biggest short word there is was proved to be true in the Birchdale area when it was reported on May 7, 1949, that the railroad had chosen a north route and not on the south side of the Rainy River by International Falls Daily Journal. It was thought, hoped and reported that “if” it had been built as once planned that Birchdale would undoubtedly have been one of the chief towns of the county instead of just a small community.
End Game
It’s mid-way between Christmas and New Year’s Day here in Minnesota’s northland. Inclination now is to look both in rearview mirror and windshield as time and events go and come. We journalled “End Game” last year so a revisit update now seems in order.
Ask a Trooper: Emergency vehicles
Question: If I am driving down a two lane road and a State Trooper is driving toward me with their flashing lights on, am I supposed to move over? Answer: When approaching any authorized emergency vehicle equipped with emergency lights, the driver of each other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to and as close as possible to the right-hand edge or curb of the highway clear of any intersection, and shall stop and remain in this position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, except when otherwise directed by a police officer. A portion of state statutes were used with permission from the Office of the Revisor of Statutes.
Celebrate Bronco hockey
It’s been said “Once a Bronco, always a Bronco!” Those of us who did not start out as Broncos know what it means. Just go to a home football or basketball game, swimming or cross-country meet.
Year in review
Just what was 2022? Like many years that came before it, 2022 was also a year. But 2022 was different in that it was new. Many experts say 2022 was the newest year thus far. The years that came before 2022 – and this goes for all of the years – were old. They came and went. But 2022 seems to really be hanging around, here and now. It’s almost like 2022 is happening right-this-second. Whereas, other, older years seem to be a thing of the past. On the other hand, 2022 seems really au courant.

Prepared to survive
SGT. Jesse With winter upon us I felt the need to share some insight from our Department of Public Safety blog in reference to winter driving when the weather and road conditions deteriorate.
Mae, John and Hilda
Naturally, I couldn’t resist writing about The Birchdale Area (aka) End of the Rainbow. I want to tell you about Mrs. Mae Smart. She was born in Minneapolis; her parents had come to Minneapolis from New York State. Her father Carl Buell was long prominent in educational opportunities and affairs of the Flour City. He was also an author and lecturer of more than local fame and enjoyed the friendship of many of the great men and women of the nation.
Getting to know you
With newcomers and familiar faces taking seats at state, county and local governments, we urge a getting to know one another period. Each of these positions carry great responsibilities and will be counted upon by many to represent our views and ensure our needs are met, as it comes to level of government.
