Cameron “Butch” Valor Gray, 81, of Climax, MN, passed away Thursday afternoon, May 16, 2024, in Altru Hospital, Grand Forks, surrounded by his loving family. On Saturday, May 11th, Butch experienced a farm accident and suffered a traumatic neck and brain injury. He was at Altru in ICU, fighting hard to fulfill his last wish of being an organ donor, but as his heart failed, it was not possible. He was still able to be a tissue donor, which means that his gift will help so many people be restored to their best health. Butch will be greatly missed. The Stenshoel-Houske Funeral Home is assisting with memorial service arrangements, and a full obituary will follow soon.

Delsie Darlene Foreman, 87, passed away March 28, 2024, at Eternal Spring Senior Living in Gilbert, AZ.
Delsie was born on May 21, 1936 in Crookston, MN, the daughter of Clarence and Lelia (Steiner) Charais. She was baptized and confirmed at First English Church, Eldred, MN, and graduated from Crookston Central High School as Valedictorian of the Class of 1954. She attended Moorhead (MN) State Teachers College, now known as Minnesota State University Moorhead, and earned her BA in 1958 with a major in elementary education and a minor in vocal music. She later attended the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley during summer breaks and completed her MA. From her early years Delsie wanted to teach kindergarten. Her first posts were at Lowell Elementary in Brainerd, MN and then Lewis and Clark Elementary in Fargo, ND. In 1966 she moved to Cedar Falls, IA and joined the faculty of Malcom Price Laboratory School at the University of Northern Iowa. She was an assistant professor of kindergarten and early childhood education until the 1975-76 school year, which she spent in Germany on an academic exchange program. During her nonacademic activities in Germany, Delsie met her future husband, George W. Foreman, a computer expert who was employed on a military contract at the same base where she was teaching. By the time she tied up loose ends at home and returned overseas George had moved to an assignment in Khartoum, Sudan. They were married there on May 4, 1976. George’s job took the couple to one more exotic locale, Saudi Arabia, before they returned to the United States.
Delsie loved to travel and George had a generous vacation allotment so they visited many European and Asian locations before making their home in Vienna, VA. After George’s death in 1988, Delsie, no fan of snow and cold, retired in Gilbert, AZ. All the family and friends who visited her there enjoyed her experience and enthusiasm as a guide to the many sights and eateries in and around Gilbert.
Delsie is lovingly survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Dale and Laura Charais of Crookston, MN; sister, Corrine Charais of Bloomington, MN; nephews, Alec Charais and wife, Susie, of Andover, MN, and Brad Charais and wife, Shawna, and their son, Allen, of Fargo, ND; and several cousins. She was preceded in death by her husband, George W. Foreman; parents, Clarence and Lelia Charais; and infant sister, Carol Faye.
May God richly bless the memory of Delsie Darlene (Charais) Foreman.
Delsie’s life will be celebrated at a memorial service to be held at 11:00am, Saturday, June 15, 2024, in the Stenshoel-Houske Funeral Home, Crookston, MN, with The Rev. Gretchen Enoch, officiating. Visitation with the family will be for one hour prior to the service. Memorials may be given in Delsie’s name to the Minnesota State University Moorhead Foundation, PO Box 68, 1104 7th Avenue South, Moorhead, MN 56563.

The Crookston Pirates’ struggles in the circle allowed Ada-Borup-West to jump out to an early lead, and the Cougars wouldn’t look back on their way to a 20-4 victory in four innings in a game played at in a game played at Donny Lauf softball field in Crookston.
FIRST INNING
Ada-Borup-West’s first two batters would walk, with a fielder’s choice putting both runners in scoring position. Joee Jones would hit a single through the right side of the infield to drive in two runs to make it a 2-0 game. The Cougars would get the next ten batters on base through six walks, a Holly Flom RBI single, and a Jones’ two RBI double, scoring nine more runs. The Pirates would get out of a bases-loaded jam with a groundout to end the top half of the inning with Ada-Borup-West leading 11-0.
Emily Bowman led off with a walk, and Rilynn Aubol got on with a single. After a Pirate double-steal, Madi Bruggeman brought both runners home with a double to right field to make it an 11-2 game. Bruggeman advanced to third on the throw to home, and the Pirates looked to have a rally going with one out. That rally would abruptly stop after Kambelle Freiji slapped a hard line drive to the third baseman, who would step on third to double up Bruggeman and end the inning.
SECOND INNING
The Pirates’ Emily Bowman recorded her first strikeout to start the top of the second before Avery Johnson would reach on an error. Macie Thornton would knock a single to left field to give the Cougars runners on first and second with one out. Crookston’s defense would keep Ada-Borup-West from crossing home, thanks to some great plays from the third baseman Bruggeman, who had two unassisted putouts to end the inning.
Crookston was unable to get the bats going in the bottom half of the inning. The Pirates struck out twice, with a Leah Johanneck walk in between, and a groundout would end the inning.
THIRD INNING
Ada-Borup-West would lead off the inning with a walk, and another error would allow the Cougars to have runners on with one out after a flyout to short. Another error would have the bases loaded. The Pirates’ pitching woes would continue, with two passed balls scoring two more runs for the Cougars. Crookston would get out of the inning after another Bowman strikeout and a groundout, with the Cougars up 13-2.
Crookston would ground out twice to lead off the bottom of the third. But the Pirates would get a two-out rally started by a Cassie Solhiem single to left field. Madi Bruggeman would bring her home with an RBI triple to right field. Kambelle Freije would blast a high fly ball to center field, which would hit the top of the fence and stay in play to prevent her from getting her first home run of the season. That double would bring in Bruggeman and groundout to short from the next batter would end the inning with Crookston still behind 13-4.
FOURTH INNING
The fourth was another tough inning for the Pirates’ pitching and defense. Madalynn Crompton led off with a walk before two errors loaded the bases with no outs. Crookston was able to get the first out of the inning by a great throw from Bruggeman to home to get the force out and prevent a run from scoring. Back-to-back walks and a wild pitch would bring in three more runs, and the Cougars were up by a score of 16-4. An Alex Tinjum single would drive in another run, and a throwing error to home would allow another run to score. Tinjum would attempt to score off a wild pitch but would be mowed down at the plate for the second out of the inning. Crompton would come up with runners at second and third and would knock a base hit to right field to bring the runners in. The inning after a strikeout, and Ada-Borup-West up 20-4.
Crookston ground out twice before a two-out single from Dani Kresl, but that was it for the Pirates, as the Cougars’ defense got another groundout to end the inning and the game.
Crookston ends the regular season 2-14 on the year. Ada-Borup-West improves to 7-9 on the year.
