Letter: War policy must come to end
I immediately recognized last September the Benghazi attack and official response was a marked departure from American foreign policy.By Andy Olson, Windom , May 15, 2013
Track officials need to pay attention
It is a real shame that the Worthington track program doesn’t take enough pride in their program to at the very least have individuals running the throwing events that care just a little bit about it.By Mike Rofshus, Luverne , May 15, 2013
Letter: Suggestions for NRA, income tax
If the NRA would encourage everyone to get a background check, regardless of whether or not they wished to buy a gun, it would eliminate the chance of the government using that information to confiscate guns.By John Elskamp, Fulda , May 14, 2013
Letter: Help with cleanup appreciated
We would like to thank Justin and the Nobles County Highway crew for the great job with tree branch cleanup in Lismore.By Jerry and Mary Kellen, Lismore , May 14, 2013
Letter: Let’s look for ways to continue farming legacies
What will be your farm’s legacy? We often think of our legacy as related to our farm’s financial success. Our legacy will show how we were able to weather hard times — floods, droughts, hot weather, cool weather, low prices, pests, weeds, the farming crisis of the ’80s, changes in production methods and other enormous challenges. Our legacy will show that not only did our farm survive, it prospered. Maybe it even grew in numbers of acres or livestock.By Ryan and Tiffany Bataldan , January 23, 2013
Letter: 'Agriculture is not a distraction’
House Ag Policy Chairwoman Jeanne Poppe recently said I was “fanning political flames” over my disgust with the House Democrat majority decision to hand over agriculture and rural development finance decisions to a member from Minneapolis, who I believe, has voted against all but one agriculture finance omnibus bill since 1998.By Rod Hamilton , January 22, 2013
Letter: More economic good news
With tax revenue collections once again exceeding the expectations of state economists, last session’s legislative decision to reform how government operates and live within its means continues to pay dividends. We made some tough choices last session, but the economy has responded. We’ve exceeded expectations consistently for well over a year, and Minnesotans should be pleased with this economic progress.By Joe Schomacker , January 22, 2013
'Yes' vote urged on Voter ID amendment
Minnesota’s election system, which combines Election Day registration with vouching, is among the least secure election systems in the country.By Mina Vander Pol, Edgerton , November 01, 2012
Letter: Prairie View facilities, staff appreciatred
Every year my husband and I host a family golf tournament in Worthington at the Prairie View Golf Links. We donate funds to the VFW Cancer Foundation in memory of family members who have lost their cancer battles. This year, the 14th, was the best.By Boni and Mike James, Dousman, Wis. , June 29, 2012
Letter: Poem expresses distaste for litter
I am … I am very concerned about the litter in Worthington.By Ann Rogers Worthington , June 29, 2012
Letter: Wadena proves a great Minnesota still exists
This past Sunday, June 17th, marked the two-year anniversary of the EF4 tornado that ravaged the City of Wadena —damaging over 400 homes, 20 businesses, the community center, ice arena and our high school. Over many months, hundreds of Minnesotans helped us clear the debris, attend to our loved ones, and cope from this natural disaster. They donated their time, talent, and resources toward our recovery. For that, we remain eternally grateful.By Mayor Wayne Wolden, Wadena , June 20, 2012
Letter: Early Risers support painting project
Members of Early Risers Kiwanis, who weren’t able to physically paint on the schoolhouse and front office building, donated to purchase hours given in service by the high school AOK (Art Optimist Kiwanis) Club. The club worked vigorously after school for 34 hours until the end of the school year. Gail Holinka, adviser to the AOK Club, strongly encouraged the service project and even personally picked up the brush.By Curt Pearson, Early Risers Kiwanis , June 19, 2012
Letter: Commissioners letting Ruppert have his way
I’m going to do something I said I’d never do, but I think it’s time that I say something about this topic publicly. I was Nobles County Emergency Management Director for four-and-a-half years until January 2011, when I decided to end my employment with the county due to the position being cut to 24 hours a week.March 13, 2012
Letter: Are the commissioners even necessary?
Why do we have Nobles County commissioners when County Administrator Mel Ruppert seems to be making all the decisions?March 13, 2012
Letter: Would Parry listen to all sides? Doubtul
