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: Fargo diversion project is not the best option against floods
I am compelled to tell my fellow North Dakotans about the grand scheme that Fargo is trying to sell to the Legislature. If sold, North Dakota taxpayers will be on the hook for at least $562 million of the full amount of the scheme, $2 billion.By Todd Toppen, Horace, N.D. , April 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: All Iraq war did was kill Iraqi people and waste money
Long after President George H. W. Bush’s march into Iraq to prevent Saddam Hussein from taking over oil-rich Kuwait and baby Bush’s seeking revenge for his daddy’s unfinished work by finishing off bad ol’ Saddam, I was wondering what our peace-loving action has produced, which is not much according to Iraqi-American writer and activist Jonathon Azaziah.By Cory Christofferson, Hamar, N.D. , April 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: Article on Heitkamp’s stance was too much opinion
Shame on The Jamestown Sun for publishing an opinion piece as a feature story at the top of the front page on Saturday (“Gay marriage: Heitkamp steps out in favor of same-sex marriage”).By Greg Boles, Jamestown , April 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: Court used bail money to pay fines, then rewarded criminal
On Jan. 12, I provided bail to release a person from the Stutsman County Correctional Center who could not make bail herself.By By John A. Connell, Jamestown , April 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: Cat owners must be careful about plants in homes
This is a warning to all cat owners to be careful with plants. Last week I went to Riverdale, N.D., to be with my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter for Easter. I stopped at a grocery store and bought an Easter lily — a very pretty hybrid —as a gift.By By Gloria Bartlett, Jamestown , April 06, 2013
Letter to the editor: Cramer’s actions repulsive, apology condescending
I didn’t think I could be any more ashamed of what is being churned out of our state, but as a wise woman told me, “never say never!”By By Becky Ronkowski, Grand Forks , April 05, 2013
Letter to the editor: Jamestown needs to have a full-time forester
The Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors urges the Jamestown City Council to fill the Jamestown city forester position with a qualified full-time employee.By By Tim Burchill, Jamestown , April 05, 2013
Letter to the editor: Bloomberg has no place in N.D. gun control laws
I have recently seen a commercial on television regarding gun control that makes me wonder. The millionaire mayor of New York City has spent roughly $10 million of his own money nationwide, more than $150,000 of that in North Dakota alone, to influence people to follow his beliefs on gun control.By By David Chadduck, Jamestown , April 05, 2013
Letter to the editor: Republicans want more intrusion in people’s lives
In this year’s state legislative session, I hope people are paying attention. There is a level of arrogance and contempt for ordinary citizens that can only be explained by a Republican Party corrupted by excessive power.By By Brad Mills, Jamestown , April 04, 2013
HB 1020 would protect Fargo and protect family farms
My family farms in Richland County, North Dakota. We support House Bill 1020 and its amendments. The amendments to HB 1020 that provide flood protection for Fargo and protect our rights to live and farm as we have for generations. The F-M diversion plan now affects our ability to use our land productively.By By Trana Rogne, Kindred, N.D. , April 03, 2013
Letter to the editor: Lawmakers stood up for life in the N.D. Legislature
For too long, the leadership of the North Dakota Republican Party has squandered opportunities to lead the nation on issues of truth and integrity. It tends to function as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Republican National Committee.By By Vince Ulstad, Fargo , April 02, 2013
Letter to the editor: Taxpayer money shouldn’t be used to support jihadists
This letter is prompted by a remark made recently on local TV news as National Guard members were gearing to help with the flood protection. It was said that the National Guard is feeling the “pinch” of the sequestration of funds by Washington.By By Karen Gumke, Jamestown , April 01, 2013
Letter to the editor: Zealots in Legislature more concerned with their beliefs
Listening to the current effort of the North Dakota Legislature to ban all abortions and give civil rights as soon as the sperm hits the egg makes me believe they are more concerned with their own personal religious beliefs than upholding our Constitution.By By Roland Riemers, Grand Forks , April 01, 2013
Letter to the editor: Anti-abortion laws are result of jobs well done in N.D.
Growing up in North Dakota has forced me to shrug off all the bumpkin redneck rhetoric with which much of the nation has flagged our state. So it is with great pleasure that I listen to news reporters and read articles praising a job well done in our state.By By Lydia Trandem, Reiles Acres, N.D. , March 30, 2013
Letter to the editor: N.D. voters shouldn’t have to hand an ID card to vote
Every election season, you’ll read at least one article in local media or national, that points out that North Dakota is the only state in the union that doesn’t require voter registration. Should we be ashamed of that? Of course not. North Dakota is a state of pioneers, and I think we take a lot of pride in that spirit. We do things differently here. We do things better.By By Tom Ricker, Englevale, N.D. , March 29, 2013
