Our son and two of his friends recently took part in the boat safety course in Hackensack (July 7, 2011). What a great experience! All three now have a healthy respect for safety -- things like wearing a life vest and being aware of weather conditions out on the lake
I'm a bit tardy responding to Mr. Zimmer's letter in the July 5th issue attacking me and the Republican Party. I've been busy promoting the GOP in Cass County with two county fairs and three parades in less than two weeks.

While the political blame game may continue, I am focused on learning from this shutdown in order to prevent this from happening in the future.
