LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Two to One!

I find myself as a modern day interpreter of our founding fathers quotes in today's context.

Resources lost

Although we have a Hackensack address, we have considered Longville our home for the past 20 years. While there seems to be so much concern to what will happen to the old school building, many do not consider that we have much more to lose than that.

Longville School Building

What in the world is going on? Anyone who has ever spent just one January in Minnesota knows that you do not just drain the pipes, lock the door and walk away from any building for the winter without checking it's well being.

Relay For Life Team Captains meeting

The second Pine River-Backus Area Relay For Life Team Captain meeting will be Monday, April 18, at 6 p.m., at the Warehouse in Pine River. There is still time to get a team together and join in the fight against cancer. Please contact Tina if you want to get a …

Northland Band students are a great group of kids

I would like to thank the Northland Community Schools Senior High Concert Band and their director Ben Kinser for an amazing trip to Nashville a few weeks ago. I was fortunate enough to be chosen as a chaperone and was truly blessed by the great time we had.

Paul Ryan's budge it unfair

We may all need to sacrifice in order to bring out national deficit under control. But in Ryan's proposals most of the cuts fall on the poor, the elderly and the most vulnerable fellow citizens. The most unfair proposal is to cut the taxes of the wealthy. In the last …

Emily Blood Drive - Be a donor

Spring is here, and everyone is so busy trying to get caught up on everything that the long winter would not let them get done. This all has slowed down blood collections and the Red Cross is trying hard to once again, build up the supply of blood on hand.

Budget vs. Spending Cuts

With Republicans taking majorities in the Minnesota Legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives, there is now a lot of talk about "cuts". Many people are concerned about government programs they like being cut or are worried that low income people will suffer. I think there is a lot of …

Senate File could lead to reduction in Senior LinkAge services

Funding cuts in Senate File 760 will lead to a severe reduction in services provided by the Senior LinkAge Line®. This comes at a time when more people are aging and their ability to live at home independently often hinges on whether they can access services in their community.

Woodrow Township Board

To the residents of Woodrow Township. Do you know what is going on in your township government? Do you care? Unfortunately, I think it is the latter or there would not have been two resignations from the town board in the last two months.

The Sting of Stings!

Recently the democrats released an ad depicting a republican congressman rolling an elderly lady off a cliff to create an illusion of how heartless the republicans are. The word allusion means: an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly.

Clearing up a misconception

There's an old saying that perception becomes reality, so maybe it would be helpful to address a growing myth before it becomes truth in the minds of Minnesotans. It has been good to return home and talk with local citizens after the 2011 session ended. Most folks want the scoop …
