Russian rendezvous reveals roundabout revelation
Fifteen latitudinal degrees and more than 5,000 miles separate Alexandria from the Republic of Mariy El in Russia. Douglas County Engineer and Public Works Director Dave Robley hopped off a lime green airplane and hit the pavement in the distant land with Anoka County engineer Doug Fischer and Sue Groth from the Minnesota Department of Transportation to explore one thing the two communities have in common – highways.

Column - In nixing Romney, voters rejected radicalism
If, as some insist, President Obama was born in Kenya, then surely Mitt Romney was born on another planet. Will his spacey delusions never end?

Letter - View of glittering heavens is part of heritage
I wish to commend the Echo Press for recently bringing attention to the issue of light pollution, a type of pollution that is among the easiest to clean up and prevent.

Are high school students the answer to worker deficit?
The complete package. That is what Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) Chancellor Steven Rosenstone said employers expect of graduates. There is no evading a high demand to fill vacant manufacturing positions, especially in our region of the state. As the jobs have progressed over the years, so too has the skill set needed to successfully perform the duties of the previously labor intensive roles. Communication skills, a firm grasp on the English language, teamwork and problem solving skills are sought by today’s employers.

Police scanner silence - Why citizens aren't hearing everything
If you’ve been listening to your trusty old police scanner you may be missing something – half the action. Douglas County has started broadcasting on a new digital frequency and some information isn’t picked up by analog scanner units. Once the county goes completely digital, analog scanners will find a new home, in the recycling bin.

Column - Inhale, exhale: Tell the nicotine demon to bug off
It was good to see the headline on the November 13 Echo Press that said, “New campaign aims to snuff out youth smoking.” The quit-smoking editorial in the same paper was excellent.

Column - Voter suppression damages democracy
Voter-suppression attempts backfired – big-time. The heroes of Election 2012 were the people who stood patiently in long lines to exercise their right to vote. Many were old; some were handicapped; others were tired and hungry. But they stood there – many of them for as long as nine hours – to cast their ballots.
