The Douglas County Commissioners can take action to support the Lakes Area Humane Society (LAHS) to help control pet populations.March 19, 2010
Letter - A little St. Patrick's Day history
Here is some historical information I thought you would like to know. It seems that the real truth about St. Patrick is really about his great and noble deed of driving the Norwegians out of Ireland.March 19, 2010
Letter - A unique and powerful event
In just a few days, Christians all over the world will be gathering to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.March 17, 2010
Letter - Racino is a no-brainer
It is a no-brainer to bring racinos to Minnesota. Other states are already receiving millions of dollars to help erase deficits or enhance various projects that need help.March 17, 2010
Letter - Why does world harbor hate?
Spinning round and round, wonder what’s that sound? With my feet on the ground, looking up at the stars. How the world’s come so far. Never wanted to be a star.March 17, 2010
Letter - How to keep more green
Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and legend credits him with driving all the snakes from that island. As a financial counseling director for Lutheran Social Services (LSS), it made me wonder, what are the financial snakes that families today need to drive out of their lives?March 17, 2010
Letter - Help stop the spread of hunger
March is Food Share Month. Hunger affects everyone. In 2009 there were about 3 million food shelf visits statewide and 61 million pounds of food were distributed to Minnesota families by food shelves.March 12, 2010
Letter - Denying care for downtrodden
The two prevailing attitudes concerning health care in this state and country were stacked together neatly on Page A4 of the March 5 Echo Press in the form of contrasting letters to the editor, “Greed takes another life,” and “Let chemically dependent find jobs.”March 12, 2010
Letter - Why pay Republican legislators?
Each of the Republican members of the Minnesota House of Representatives is as responsible as Governor Pawlenty for the state’s current financial mess.March 10, 2010
Letter - Smoking by the numbers
Every day I hear the stories of people who want to quit smoking and help people who they love quit smoking.March 10, 2010
Letter - Be a good neighbor
I find it hard to believe that people who walk their dogs down the roads do not feel it is their responsibility to pick up after the dog if it should happen to “do its duty.”March 10, 2010

Your thoughts and your views are always what makes us do the right things when we express our opines and our support of issues.

Letter - Let chemically dependent find jobs
I missed something. I believe I heard on TV that Governor Pawlenty wants to cut medical coverage for many, but not the mentally or physically challenged or chemically dependent.

Letter - Christian values are needed
If there should be any Christians among the host of tea party rabble rousers, I would suggest that they return home immediately and review what Jesus of Nazareth has to say about our responsibility to the poor, the destitute and the disenfranchised in the New Testament.
