The wind may have led to some frigid times atop Dwayne and Dorene Myers’ barn in rural Viking on Saturday, Jan. 21. Dwayne was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and was under hospice care at the time of the barn raising. He passed away three days later. Many neighbors, friends and family members gathered to finish building Dwayne and Dorene’s barn. Video of the barn-raising is online at www.trftimes.com. 
A benefit will be held Sunday, Feb. 5 for the Dwayne and Dorene Myers family of rural Viking. The meatball dinner will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Viking Diner. All proceeds will go to the family to help cover Dwayne’s medical bills. Dwayne was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and passed away Tuesday. In this photo from a few years ago, he and Dorene are pictured with their daughters Ashley (front) and Taylor. (Submitted) Dorene Myers looked out her kitchen window and cried Saturday, Jan. 21. Outside, 34 people were working on her family’s barn in rural Viking. It is a project that her husband Dwayne was unable to finish. He was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and was under the care of hospice at the time that the barn was raised. He passed away three days after his friends and family gathered to help the family. |

A check thrown by Thief River Falls forward Evan Ose knocked East Grand Forks’ Zack Lawdermilt off his skates during the first period of Tuesday’s Section 8A boys high school hockey game at the Ralph Engelstad Arena. Thief River Falls faced its second key Section 8A boys high school hockey test in six days Tuesday, and just like they did Thursday in a 2-1 overtime victory over Warroad, the Prowlers aced it by beating East Grand Forks 5-1 at the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
Five straight wins, a 13-3-1 overall record and a 7-0 mark against sectional foes puts the Prowlers in the driver’s seat for the top seed when post-season play begins Feb. 21.
Riley Soderstrom scored two goals and added an assist to lead a Thief River Falls attack that out-shot East Grand Forks 35-15. Tanner Nessen, Evan Ose and Logan Ose were also goal scorers for the Prowlers, who led 1-0 after one period and had a 4-1 advantage at the second intermission. |
