Snail Mail: Send A Little Love
The summer before my sophomore year of high school, my family and I moved from northern New Jersey, to Indiana. Even though I grew up moving a lot, this was the first move that was really hard on me....

DIY Fabric Animal Decor
Our second bathroom is the kid's bathroom. When I first moved in to our house, the room had been painted a teal and dark pink color to match the fish-designed shower curtain. Personally, the color com...

The Advent Grinch
Yesterday was Christmas! It was a great day for the family, a great day of travel, and a great Christmas service at church. The sermon was fantastic - it always is in my eyes (my huz is the pastor, bu...

Letters from the past
When I realized last Friday it was the 25th anniversary of the day the Challenger blew up, it made me think of a letter I once received. Back when my husband Eric was in the U.S. Navy, he sent me ple...

Strange, Almost Sensical Spam
Some very weird spam is showing up in my inbox lately. One presents itself as being from a bank, but if a bank secretary was really that bad at proofreading, he would surely be taken out and shot fort...

Letter to the editor: Nold caught in crossfire of dysfunctioning School Board
The Jamestown Public School Board members who voted to refuse the hiring of Jeff Nold have sent an arrogant message to every staff member of our public school system. They have refused to hire an experienced teacher who has already been a state championship coach simply because of who his father is.By By Steve Bennion, Jamestown , May 01, 2013
Letter to the editor: Remember those who lost their lives on the job
Working people have come together year after year to call for better working conditions and stronger safety protections on the job. As a result, workplace deaths and injuries have declined significantly, exposure to hazards and toxic chemicals like asbestos and lead have been reduced and far fewer workers are dying from trench cave-ins or from being caught in dangerous machinery.By By Dan Jackson, Oakes, N.D. , May 01, 2013
Letter to the editor: Eventide deserves praise, thanks for ‘fun’ raiser
This past Friday my husband David and I attended the first “fun”raiser for Eventide at Hi-Acres. Since I had been a resident there, and received wonderful care, I wanted to support them.By By Bonnie H. Rogers, Jamestown , April 24, 2013
Letter to the editor: Criticism of letter failed to disprove any of its points
This is a response to Tom Tracy’s letter from April 12, in which he responded to my letter regarding this year’s legislative session. He attacked my credibility, but failed to disprove a single thing I said. Just because someone disagrees with what I say does not make it “filled with inaccuracies and misinformation” as Tracy claimed.By By Brad Mills, Jamestown , April 24, 2013
Letter to the editor: Senators’ votes on gun law were disappointing
I am very disappointed with the votes Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D, and Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., made on the background check amendment.By Susan Beehler, Mandan, N.D. , April 22, 2013
Letter to the editor: Hoeven and Heitkamp did well with votes for gun rights
The U.S. Senate recently rejected universal gun background checks, thanks partly to Sens. John Hoeven, R-N.D., and Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D. However, President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-N.D., will continue attacking the Second Amendment.By By Duane Stahl, Valley City, N.D. , April 20, 2013
Letter to the editor: Heitkamp’s vote on bill a slap in the face to her donors
For seven years, beginning in 1967, I attended the Crippled Children’s School, now known as the Anne Carlsen Center. I still have my eighth-grade diploma from there. I have since gone on to high school and college and am a writer and blogger.By By Kent Anderson, Sterling Heights, Mich. , April 19, 2013
Letter to the editor: Lawmakers made abortion decisions based on fear
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem rightly expressed great concern that the Legislature should provide an appropriation to defend anti-abortion legislation that will unquestionably be challenged in the courts.By By Dina Butcher, Bismarck , April 18, 2013
Letter to the editor: Anti-abortion leaders should lead by example with funds
Creative minds in the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office shouldn’t have a problem coming up with funds for litigation of anti-reproductive justice legislation. Liberty Counsel has already offered legal help to defend the laws.By By Ron Saeger, Fargo , April 17, 2013
Letter to the editor: Supporters of gay marriage have not won this fight
TIME magazine’s front cover declares gay marriage already won. It continues with, the Supreme Court hasn’t made up its mind but America has. David Von Drehle goes on to conclude that America has accepted marriage between same-sex couples.By By Cindy Hinz, Jamestown , April 16, 2013
Letter to the editor: Jamestown College play was ‘delightful’
The Jamestown College production of “The Imaginary Invalid” was a delightful play, if only I could have fast-forwarded through the commercials.By Georgia Miller, Jamestown , April 15, 2013
Letter to the editor: Whatever happened to anti-war leaders?
Something is wrong in America. The last president to go the extra mile for peace was President George H.W. Bush (the elder) preceding the Gulf War back around 1990. He got about 95 percent of the world’s support and much military help from other countries, including Arab countries, before expelling Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait after he had more or less tried to annex Kuwait.By By Mike Shockman, LaMoure, N.D. , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: Letter criticizing GOP, laws to limit abortion is wrong
Once again Brad Mills has written a letter to the editor (April 4) blasting the Republicans in the North Dakota Legislature. As he has done in the past, his letter is filled with misinformation, inaccuracies and, unfortunately, a willingness to launch a somewhat vicious partisan attack.By By Tom J. Tracy, Jamestown , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: Morals are going to pot and must be restored in America
Morals? This is my opinion, others have theirs. Morals in this country, pardon the pun, are going to pot! Recent history has produced a lot of issues. Among them; abortion, illegal drugs, gay rights, and now a pill that will encourage unprotected sex among young people. Who pays for this lack of morality? The government, we the people, society or all of the above? Some is paid by various government agencies, others by private insurance companies.By By Larry Pecka Sr., Jamestown , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: It’s time to bring our service members home from wars
We were taken into two wars on lies. It’s a shame that former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney made sure the information they received from Secret Service and the Intelligence Department was changed to take us into war. The department could not believe the information they received should have been used to take us into two wars.By By Caroline Eli, Carrington, N.D. , April 09, 2013
