About Bethany Wesley

I am the city reporter with the Bemidji Pioneer, where I have been employed since June 2007. I cover the "city beat," which means I attend city council and joint planning meetings and cover crime and cops. Occasionally, I write feature stories. I live in Bemidji with my husband, two daughters and one very overweight cat.

Dashing through the snow…

A beautiful day to be outside!

It was a gorgeous springtime day for a walk. Pretty much perfect. Nice sunshine, nice breeze, nice 63-degree day. Too bad we had to spend it running “errands” around town — but at least we got outside to enjoy the … Continue reading

We’re still a pair of downtown walkers

I keep telling myself that “next time” Laurie and I get out for one of our walks, we’re going to hit the dirt lakeside trail again. Of course, then it snows. Or rains. (But when it comes to this spring, … Continue reading

We’ll take raindrops over snowflakes any day…

For the first time in many months, Laurie and I went walking through downtown this afternoon – and did so on sidewalks. In the winter, we rarely find enough sidewalks snow and ice free, so we tend to stick to … Continue reading

Monday laughs

Surprise, we didn’t walk today. I believed Laurie would be out of town and, honestly, I kind of felt a bit out of it, so I went home to rest for a little bit instead. (An off-topic bonus: I read … Continue reading
