It's Our Turn: Hot Wheels, cool memories
When I found out that the world’s longest Hot Wheels track is being built for a special race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week, it took me back in time to those oh-so-long-ago days when I was a kid who couldn’t get enough of those shiny, snazzy toy cars.

It's Our Turn: Driving on the road to nowhere
It’s 9 p.m. and getting dark. The road we’ve been following through the desert is getting narrower and rougher, and our shiny, red convertible is getting all dusty. We haven’t seen a sign, house or another road in hours.

It's Our Turn: Are you ready for ice fishing ... in May?
That wonderful time is here. The time when we anglers don our hats and sunglasses, stockpile bait and fishing tackle, break out the rods and reels, and get the boat all ready for…ice fishing? Wait. Did I miss something here?

It's Our Turn: Home away from home
Every kid looks forward to summer for many of the same reasons. Fun in the sun, those lazy summer days at the lake and of course no school for three whole months! All of those things are great, but what I look forward to the most is a place called Trout Lake Camps near Pine River.

It's Our Turn: Looooong winter plants fruitful frustration for gardeners like me
If you think it’s been a loooooong winter, try being a gardener. With snowflakes falling well into April, it’s hard to believe spring will ever arrive and this latest blast of snow on Thursday is just insulting. Actually, it’s painful.

Column - Newspapers make a difference
Throughout the school year I am fortunate to have the opportunity to go into area classrooms and teach students about newspapers through Newspapers in Education (NIE), an international program that promotes children’s literacy by using newspapers as teaching tools.

It's Our Turn: Trained to carry a gun
According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension’s (BCA) 2012 Permit to Carry Report, based on my sex and age, I am not the person you would expect to encounter in a Minnesota Carry Permit Course, but that is how I spent five hours on a recent Saturday.

It's Our Turn: From one chapter to the next
As the countdown to graduation begins, I constantly think about becoming part of the “real world” as they call it. Which college will I attend? What will I major in? What legacy will I leave behind? Most importantly, what does my future have in store for me?

It's Our Turn: Invisible farmers, lumberjack angels and magic water fairies
February was our month, I recall thinking when I was a little girl. My dad and I were both born in February. Winter always reminds me of him. Cork-studded boots, flannel shirts, wool pants, the smell of pine needles and sawdust, that’s my dad – a logger.
