Time to catch up on some of the craziness that’s been going on lately. I say some of it because if I tried to think about all of it, it would drive me crazier than, the hatred the democrat politicians and media have for President Trump, has driven them. Now that’s a lot of craziness right there and...
On February 15th D.J. Trump declared a national emergency which he said he could have declared at some other time but he felt like doing so on the day after Valentine’s Day. It was a love letter to David Duke, I suppose.
Anyway, unlike your normal emergency, such as a tornado or earthquake, we all...
My name is Linnea (Hammarsten) Ingold. I am writing this letter in response to an article that Tim King wrote in the January 2, 2019 edition of the Long Prairie Leader. He wrote about the Big Island on Big Birch Lake, which is now labeled Hammarsten Island on the maps that the Big Birch Lake...
I’m sitting here trying to think of the words that will best describe the overwhelming feelings of love and gratitude, I and my family, feel for our relatives, friends and people of our community, who turned out in such large, loving numbers, to support and console us in the loss of our wife and...

Just over a month ago, in the December 19 issue of the Leader, the front page headline was: “County to pay out $1.8 million in settlement”. Immediately below the headline was a photo of a jail inmate, his back to the camera, making a noose to hang...
For over thirty years we’ve had an area beekeeper put a colony of bee hives on our farm. It’s a great arrangement. We get pollination services for our fruit and vegetable crops and the beekeeper gets access to the large number of basswood trees on the farm. During good years basswoods have heavy...
Sure! You might have expected it. Donald Trump wants to protect us by building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. He wants to protect us from Guatemalans, Hondurans, and other Central Americans. He wants to protect us from the INVASION, he calls it. He wants to protect our jobs.
What a bunch of...
In my response to George Link’s letter of 11-21-18, my response about the electoral college, was somehow omitted.
