Letter - Olympic team was thrilling
Recently, your city had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (for some) to see an Olympic team when the Olympic girls hockey team played the Alexandria Blizzard team in Alexandria.November 20, 2009
Letter - Pay the price for doing wrong
Mr. Dalman, awhile back you told the bright side of the late Ted Kennedy. First of all, the Kennedys were spouse cheaters. Ted was out cheating on his wife, got drunk, drove his mistress off a bridge, left her to drown, while he went to sleep off his drunk.November 20, 2009
Letter - Hospice care comforts
As the holidays approach, many of us will gather with family and friends. More often than not, these gatherings will include reminiscences about loved ones, re-telling of funny family stories, and the sharing of traditions honored year after year.November 20, 2009
Letter - Turkey poaching
To the parties involved in the poaching and road hunting of turkey off the road and field in front of my farm: I think it to be a sorry state of affairs that you would stoop to this level to get a turkey in the hunting season.November 20, 2009
Letter - Life-saving devices are critical
In response to your article printed on November 6 titled “Life-saving devices purchased for state tournaments,” I would like to commend the Minnesota State High School League for purchasing the eight AEDs that will be available at every state tournament and meets.November 20, 2009
Letter - Greed exploits students, families
The article “Grants save college careers” [November 4 Echo Press] was very misleading. I hope this was not purposeful. It started well, with a personal story about an Alexandria student who received a government grant. Well and good!November 20, 2009
Letter - The wrong prescription for health care
The health care reform bill passed by the House of Representatives last week is the wrong prescription for real improvement to our medical system. Our current health insurance system relies almost exclusively upon employer-based coverage.November 20, 2009

Congratulations, Alexandria, Douglas County and surrounding areas for the wonderfully strong support shown at the third annual Taking Steps Against Domestic Violence Walk in October.November 18, 2009

President Obama naively suggests the world can be free of nuclear weapons if the U.S. and Russia commit to arms reduction.November 18, 2009
Letter - An employer's loss
A few days ago someone was telling me about a friend of hers. This friend is someone who is not only a hard worker but also has a good job history. From the description of this person I thought to myself that if I had a store or a restaurant, I would seriously consider hiring the person of whom she spoke.November 13, 2009
Letter - Creating a stronger non-profit community in Minnesota
Minnesotans lead the nation in charitable giving. Individuals in Minnesota gave more than $4 billion to charity last year. Now, we are poised to lead again.November 13, 2009
Letter - Well done, young folks!
Having had the delightful experience of attending a performance of the JHS play “Noises Off” by Michael Frayn, I would like to say that I was disappointed that the performances were not performed to sell-out crowds.November 11, 2009
Letter - 'Bluedog' Democrats
Once again, Representative [Collin] Peterson has shown his true “Red” color in supporting the Republicans and insurance companies by voting against the healthcare bill in Congress last night.November 11, 2009
