The day when two sisters sat down at The Brothers Table
On a hot May afternoon last week, three people with family ties to the old Jerry s Bar in north Moorhead got together to have lunch, check out the 88-year-old building and reminisce. Sisters Cathy Scheibe and Gini Rainey remembered the days when their parents, Helen and Erv Jents, ran a 3.2-beer tavern there. Nicholas Aadland, who co-owns the newest business there, The Brothers Table, with his brother Riley, was on hand to give tours and join in conversations about the location s rich history. 8:15 am, May 27, 2021 ×

Vinyl, cassette tapes, posters and shirts were up for grabs Sunday as radio station CFBX held its most successful record fair to date, attracting vendors from out of the province. It s the best year we ve ever had, said station manager Brant Zwicker.
At least 30 tables heaped with music in a variety of forms and accompanying merchandise took over the Terrace cafeteria in the Campus Activity Centre at Thompson Rivers University.
The event is a fundraiser for the eclectic campus/community radio station that operates out of House 8 at TRU, with money raised through the $2-entry fee and table rentals at $25 a pop.
WHILE the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted on so many things we used to take for granted, life must go on. For many, that means finding a new job or starting out on a first or different career path. If you’re a young person from a background without advantage or someone who missed out on learning opportunities at school because of childhood trauma, how do you get a break in life? Maybe you got off to a bad start when you were younger; how do you get on a better track? This much we know. Helping individuals develop personally doesn’t happen by punishing them with pernicious benefit sanctions. Treating people out of work with hostility and indignity is a broken policy from the Victorian era. And yet, this approach remains at the heart of the UK Government’s unemployment policy.
