    Randy Olson|Mar 25, 2021

    A newly-uncovered Minnesota Gambling Control Board (GCB) document from 1996 shows just how far back the reign of terror by ex-gambling manager Michelle Halls goes. No fewer than three local bars were negatively impacted by the mismanagement of the Brooten Commercial Club's lawful charitable gambling operation across multiple years under her watch: the KaDe Shack and Marcia's Bar and Grill in Brooten and Rooney's Bar in Sedan. All three bar owners lost thousands of dollars under her oversight,...

  • (HD VIDEO) Jaguar wrestlers win first-ever section title, fall short of State Final Four berth

    Randy Olson|Mar 18, 2021

    The Class 1A state tournament Final Four was oh-so-close to including three teams from the Central Minnesota Conference, but it was not meant to be. Unfortunately, the No. 2-ranked Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Jaguars wrestling team is not one of the two CMC teams who advanced to the state semifinals, but it was not for a lack of heart or desire to get there. On Saturday in the Class 1A state quarterfinals, the Jaguars suffered just their fourth loss of their unforgettable, record-breaking season. Th...

  • If not now, when?

    Randy Olson|Mar 18, 2021

    This week, the Senate passed legislation with tri-partisan support that would reassert a fair balance of governing power between the legislative branch and the executive branch during future states of emergency. The bill would reign in any future Governor from asserting emergency powers without input from the Legislature. After a year of Walz renewing his emergency powers in 30-day intervals, Senate Republicans want to ensure Minnesotans are never held to one-man-rule again. This bill will require legislative approval to extend emergency...

  • Department of Health has no answer for continued long-term care deaths

    Randy Olson|Mar 11, 2021

    During the Friday, March 12 press conference at noon with Governor Tim Walz, the Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner had no answer beyond guessing on why long-term care residents are still dying in spite of vaccination efforts going on for the past two months. MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm only replied with guessing. Incomplete answers. She stumbled over her tongue and was not able to reply to one of the very most important questions that any journalist could ask right now. Malcolm's only real reply was that she believes (without citing...

  • (OPINION) FDA issues statement on Ivermectin with no data to back it up

    Randy Olson|Mar 4, 2021

    In one of the most bizarre situations imaginable, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a negative statement on Ivermectin without offering any data to back it up. To date (March 8, 2021) a total of 47 studies around the world have taken place on the use of the anti-parasite drug Ivermectin against COVID-19. Numerous studies have shown recognizable and valuable efficacy (effectiveness) of Ivermectin against COVID-19. It pains me to have to say that "you should not overdose" on...
