Editorial - Looking for love during the holidays? Avoid these scams

It's Our Turn: O' Silent Night, non-denominational night
Do we all have to celebrate the same holiday to have a happy one? You can’t say Merry Christmas. You can’t pledge allegiance to the flag. You can’t pray in school. Well, in most cases those instances are becoming unacceptable by “society’s” standards. But, whose society?

It's Our Turn: I'm grateful for my cancer journey
The doctor called this week and said, “You’re clear, no more cancer.” After hearing news like that, you’d think I’d be walking on clouds and sharing wise, cotton-candy-sweet sentiments. But something else has settled into my heart – it’s a strange mix of denial, guilt, relief, humbleness, and a sense of being lost.

It's Our Turn: Time for Tubby to prove the naysayers wrong
It’s time for University of Minnesota men’s basketball coach Tubby Smith to shut up his critics. Smith’s tenure at Minnesota has been mired in mediocrity for five years now. Many Gopher fans simply look at the numbers when deciding his level of success. His 103 wins through five seasons is the most in any coach’s first five years in program history.
