BEMIDJI - An eclectic mix of comedians will visit the Historic Chief Theater tonight as part of their South of Canada Comedy Tour. Lukas Seely, Mark Dawsons, Edi Zanidache and Halli Borgfjord, who have collectively performed on Showtime, Spike TV, Great American Country, the Bob and Tom Show and other comedy programs, are excited to visit the area. All of the comedians, as the tour name implies, grew up just south of the Canadian border - and they continue to enjoy performing in more rural audiences that are likelier to make lazy their scrutinizing eyes and enjoy the show.

BEMIDJI - Caregivers who choose to enter healthcare fields are often born for the type of work they are in. They care wholeheartedly for their patients or ill relatives, leaving little time to care for themselves or their families.

A Rick Santorum supporter could buy 5.4 million of his vests from Woolen Mills, and an average student who volunteers for Barack Obama could pay their own $25,250 in college debt, and then pay $10
BEMIDJI - Villella's Bada Bing!, a notorious sports bar that opened in the Union Station building in June 2008, closed one year later, leaving the space open for the second time in three years for prospective restaurateurs. Michelle Soltis, along with her brother John, quickly took the opportunity to bring a fresh new concept to the area, opening Blue Ox Bar and Grill. The Soltis siblings moved from Fargo, N.D., to Bemidji and started work on the building in May 2010, opening just two months later in time for the summer tourist season. "There was a lot of work, so it was just initially, 'Ge
