To the Editor: I would like to thank everyone who took the time and effort to write my name in on the Nov. 8, 2022 ballot for one of the three positions open at the Long Prairie-Grey Eagle school board. During the campaign period, I visited with many people in Long Prairie, Grey Eagle, and...
To the Editor:   They did it again! Yup, they cheated, fraudulently winning in the governor’s race in Arizona. Nothing has changed from 2020.  You can almost always be sure that when there is a delay in the counting process, the losing side (Usually Democrats) has to turn to Plan B which has a...
Thanksgiving is over but it’s not too late to give thanks.I was thinking about why I enjoy living in Long Prairie and what about Long Prairie I’d like to express my gratitude for. I started having these thoughts last summer when I was with my family at Lake Charlotte Beach Park. We’d all had a nice...

I happen to be the type that likes to have a matter neatly closed and put on the shelf. It is for this reason I submit today’s letter,...
 Tim Kings column in the Nov. 9 Leader, makes me wonder, just what it will take, or if it will even be possible, to wake the useful idiots up. Our government has become totally corrupted and teetering on the edge of collapsing into an authoritarian communist style abyss, and he only worries about...
Last week I took my friend Francisco to City Hall to cast his ballot. I live in Leslie township and had already voted but Francisco doesn’t speak English. He values his right to vote as an American citizen and he wanted to make sure he understood his ballot.With all the talk about intimidating...
Sadly, the fall season is coming to an end.  With the end of fall comes winter weather and announcements.  It is a great time to review those procedures to make sure everyone gets the communications they want and need.This year the school will not be posting weather announcements to the TV station...
