To the Editor:   I believe there are about 900 Federal judges in the country, and I am sure that many of them are qualified to sit on the Supreme Court. Appointments use to be regularly confirmed by near unanimous votes. A golden retriever could pick someone near the center, fully disclose their...
To the Editor:   October is National Bullying Prevention Month, with much of the focus on kids and bullying in school.  What we don’t hear as often, is the effects of adult bullying.  In reality, this problem is just as prevalent, but is often not as widely discussed. Nearly three-quarters of...
To the Editor:   If you’re a parent, chances are you are somewhere in the middle of back to school frenzy:  school supply lists, making sure your kids have plenty of pencils and paper, double checking the school bus schedule, marking your calendar with extracurricular activities, and more.  But...
To the Editor:   Today, 422 people in this country will die from lung cancer; the number one cancer killer of both women and men (approximately 154,050 per year), yet least federally funded research of all cancers. In Minnesota alone, there are expected to be 3,980 new lung cancer diagnoses in 2018...
To the Editor:   The 2018 Minnesota Legislative Session ended without the progress we needed to see for family farmers and rural communities. That’s exactly what large-scale corporate ag wanted: business as usual. Corporate ag keeps building and expanding, running family farmers off the land and...
To the Editor:      Sit on a committee?  Help at a church, hospital, or school event?  Volunteer to drive?  Mow lawns?  Find a way. Motivations for volunteering are numerous, personal, unique; e.g. helping others, feeling needed, being productive, less isolated.  Be involved in something you’re...
To the Editor:   Within the next few years our communities will lay to rest the last of our WWII Veterans, with regret but also wishing them well in their new life.  This Memorial Day is an opportunity to pay particular attention to their stories, which used to be told in person by those who were...
To the Editor:   In recognition of National Police Week 2018, communities across the United States will come together May 13-19 to honor and remember those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the family members, friends and fellow officers they left behind. -There...
To the Editor:   Why are so many young men and women leaving the Amish lifestyle in our community? (Shunning and bundling commonly referred to as bed dating.) After a church service, I was introduced to a young man by the name of Jesse, who along with his wife and family were shunned, asking other...
To the Editor:   I am really mad and I am going to tell you why.  The story is both political and personal, but mostly personal.  It involves some bad actors in the Minnesota Senate and the way their recent behavior undermined my faith in the essential integrity of the political process. Last week...
