Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa schools is asking the public for photographs from the full history of local public education in the district, dating back to the turn of the 20th century. The request is part of a robust project that will add historical-themed graphics at both school buildings. The idea in play is to add historical graphics based mostly on photographs at the new cafeteria area on the north side of the elementary school and in the current cafeteria area of the high school. Presently, the...

Here's a four-minute video that I felt was worth sharing. Government allows drug users to set up camps in public spaces and openly condones behavior that spreads filth and disease on a regular basis. Does the government believe that's somehow virtuous and should not be discouraged? Yet at the same time, the government uses the coronavirus as an excuse to destroy thousands and thousands of small businesses across America? According to the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), in 2019, the United States had 30.7 million small...
This was an amazing video to take in! Ivermectin is low-cost, available on a global scale - and best of all - it has multiple randomized control trials showing favor on its use against COVID-19. It has been on the market since 1981, and it has shown effectiveness in both preventing COVID-19 infections and in clearing COVID-19 infections. Now doctors need to follow suit and study the data for themselves....

Who else out there plants a family garden? I loved this video and felt it was worth sharing. We don't plant a huge amount of potatoes, but it's still worth learning what was shared here from The Homestead Mentor on YouTube....
During the Thursday, January 21 press conference with statewide media, Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm stated with a high level of disappointment and even dejection that "there doesn't appear to have been a Christmas surge." Let that sink in for a moment. For nine-plus months, every time Malcolm is forced by reality to report good news, she sounds disappointed. This has happened over and over again, without exception. To me, it is as if a plan they have in place did not play out like they had hoped. I'll repeat myself:...

Vitamin D can influence all three innate immune effectors in the lungs and thus play an important role in how the lung recognizes and responds to pathogens. Activation of the innate immune system drives activation of the long term adaptive immune system. The National Institute of Health has warned that low Vitamin D levels leads to frequent colds and also higher risk from the Influenza virus. Other organizations have released numerous studies on how Vitamin D levels correlate with how a person...

A lost cat was discovered on Saturday afternoon, January 16, on the campus of the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa high school. During the wrestling match at the school, this cat was found near the entryway trying to get in the building. It's likely that the large amount of foot traffic in and out of that door on the northeast corner attracted the cat to hang around. As of Saturday night, the cat is safe and fed. If you know someone who has lost a cat fitting the following description, PLEASE send an...

It has not gone without struggle, but the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper is poised to survive the 2020 pandemic. This newspaper finished the year "very strong" with a few expansive newspapers plus almost all color issues from the September 17 issue through the December 31 issue. In fact, just one issue during that span did not have color ink included. We mostly kept it to a 10-page issue after September 17, which was an improvement from the spring and summer when we published a handful of very "lean" eight-page issues. We dipped down to eight...
In the video below, this doctor provides very succinct and valuable points on multiple tools that can be used to fight COVID-19.

A few things discussed in the video include: over-the-counter medications like vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc,...
