There’s no one to blame but yourself for missing class
Video games are the reason for students struggles in school as much as food is to blame for peoples weight issues. College often is a persons first taste of freedom (loads of free time) from parental ...

Take care as work begins in the fields
Spring weather finally seems to be headed in the direction we’ve been waiting for so long. That in turn means farmers around the region dealing with delays will push to get their crops in the field at the most advantageous times. Safety needs to be on their minds and the minds of the traveling public.May 10, 2013
East-west conflict is set aside
One of the enduring themes in North Dakota history is the enmity between east and west. Some of it’s real, much of it is myth. When it comes to the recently concluded 2013 Legislature, the record shows most of it is myth — at least among brighter lawmakers.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , May 09, 2013
Letter to the editor: All gun sales should require getting a background check
I was surprised the universal background check bill did not pass the Senate as it would help to reduce gun violence, and, if passed, would be the foundation for further legislation. I support this bill.By By Hazel L. Scott, Jamestown , May 08, 2013
Guy’s work is not yet finished
In all the grand and appropriate tributes to the late North Dakota Gov. William Guy, his visionary thinking about water development often was cited. Guy, who died last month at age 93, surely was among those few politicians who understood how water — too much of it, not enough of it — affected the state’s people, economy and future.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , May 08, 2013
Level the sales-tax playing field
Greg Danz, proprietor of Zandbroz, faces an invisible wall that he and many other merchants face, whether located downtown or in a mall. His store in Fargo must charge its customers 7.5 percent in state and local sales taxes. In Moorhead, the state sales tax takes a bite of 6.875 percent.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , May 07, 2013
Editorial: School Board needs to revisit policies
Jamestown Public Schools should hire the best available teachers, regardless of who they are related to — but a policy should be in place to protect against nepotism and potential “good ole’ boy” hiring decisions.By The Jamestown Sun Editorial Board , May 06, 2013
Column: Guy remade system for North Dakota
“Where Seldom Was Heard A Discouraging Word” was the title chosen by Gov. William Guy for his summary of personal experiences during his 12 years as the state’s chief executive.By Lloyd Omdahl, Columnist , May 06, 2013
Correction
Steve Bennion of Jamestown said he erred in his letter to the editor which appeared in Tuesday’s Sun regarding the Jamestown Public School Board’s decision not to hire Jeff Nold. One of the four hiring committee members does report to Bill Nold; Bennion had written that none do.May 04, 2013
Letter to the editor: School Board was wrong not to hire applicant
I feel strongly the necessity to voice my dismay at the Jamestown Public School Board for denying the hire of a teacher/coach based on family relationship to a present employee in the school system.By By Patti Peterson, Jamestown , May 04, 2013
Bravo to formation of new association
The Jamestown Sun hands out these bravos this week:May 04, 2013
Letter to the editor: Times have changed and new gun laws are needed
The Sun ran an ad in the April 24 edition on page A9, paid for by the Progressive Change Committee, which included my name. I have gotten two telephone calls at my home asking me about what PCC means to say in this ad. I would like to clarify for the community what I mean by putting my name on it.By By David deSousa, Jamestown , May 03, 2013
Federal priorities have us confused
Remember years ago when North Dakota lawmakers approved legislation allowing farmers in the state to grow industrial hemp, a distant cousin of marijuana that contains only tiny traces of THC, the psychoactive element of the plant? Remember the federal government’s reaction?By Minot Daily News , May 03, 2013
Letter to the editor: School Board dives deeper into its own dysfunction
The Jamestown School District’s School Board was found to be dysfunctional by the regional school accreditation association this past winter. That is unfortunate for our schools as strong leadership is important to moving our schools forward for young people.By By Dave Smette, Jamestown , May 02, 2013
Guy was a giant in N.D.
The legacy of former Gov. Bill Guy is stamped throughout North Dakota. It spans the state, east to west and north to south, with the Interstate highways that connect North Dakota to the rest of the nation. It lights homes, farms and businesses from the coal-fired power plants and lignite industry he helped establish.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , May 02, 2013
Letter to the editor: Media supported candidates they are now criticizing
I’ve enjoyed reading the editorial boards of the major North Dakota newspapers, owned mostly by Forum Communications, rail against the irresponsible actions taken by the Republican supermajority in the 63rd legislative session. What I find interesting, however, is the lack of transparency from these same editorial boards about the fact that they endorsed every one of these candidates. Every. Single. One.By By Mitch Axness, Fargo , May 01, 2013
