Windmill Controversy
We've gotten a few interesting responses to a letter about the windfarms going up all over southwest Minnesota today. The letter-writer points out that the windmills are noisy and have bright red ligh...

Most readers want a vote on sales tax

Last week, The Jamestown Sun asked readers of its Web site the question “How do you feel about the Jamestown City Council extending the 1 percent sales tax without a public vote?” Here are the results of the unscientific survey:

Demands insult donor

We’ve seen some crazy things come out of Pierre over the years but this one may just take the blue ribbon.

It makes sense to prepare for spring

Here we go again — declaring an emergency and getting ready for potentially high releases from Jamestown and Pipestem dams. But there are some differences this year, so there’s no need for any of us to get nervous yet.

Our census reflects our confusion

It is time to take another census, as we Americans do every 10 years, which means it is time again to argue about the census. If the census is designed to take a snapshot of our nation, the initial reaction looks like a family feud.

Dearth of enigma

My favorite thing about J.D. Salinger wasn’t his seminal work — or his most famous character, Holden Caulfield — but how little I knew of him, thanks to his relentless pursuit of privacy.

U.S. must monitor its giving to Haiti

The hearts of tens of millions of Americans have gone out to Haitians who have suffered so much because of an earthquake that struck their poverty-stricken nation earlier this month. And when we open our hearts, we also open our checkbooks; charitable giving to help the Haitians has been incredible in both its volume and speed.

It’s safer to admit that you’re old

I just had another birthday. It’s none of your business which one but you should guess that anyone who started a government career in the Gov. Norman Brunsdale administration is older than lignite coal. In fact, you have to be old even to know that Norman Brunsdale had an administration. Bernard Baruch, adviser to presidents, defined “old” as being someone 15 years older than he was. This is a dangerous observation because it creates the illusion that we can keep doing what we’re doing regardless of age. Nevertheless, Bernie did okay. He lived to 94, meaning that his “old” people were 109.

Jesus the Socialist

Apparently not content with his congressional majority that wishes to force Americans on a long march to health care disaster, President Obama has invoked the name of Jesus to broadcast his gospel of spreading the wealth around.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night

Decorations in full bloom, sold-out Christmas tree lots and an increase in the consumption of baked goods all mean one thing: Christmas is here. It’s definitely going to be a white one. A winter storm will change many people’s plans but it won’t change the meaning of the holiday. Bing Crosby, the actor and singer who wrote “White Christmas,” knew what the holiday was about.

Fargo store owner right to cry foul

The owner of a Fargo downtown retail store is justified in his upset with North Dakota State University. NDSU has established a branch of the campus bookstore in the Cityscapes development, a residential and retail building that caters to university students. Greg Danz of Zandbroz Variety on Broadway, just a few blocks from Cityscapes, said the publicly subsidized competition with his 18-year-old private retail business is out of line. It’s hard to argue with his logic.

It’s OK for Superman to cry

We met Joe Gonzalez at a golf outing for wounded veterans last summer. Outside, he seemed in good shape, trim and tanned as he swatted balls off a practice tee. His calf muscle rippled under a large tattoo of a red Superman symbol.

The Dems’ Mission: Impossible

Xcel’s use of aircraft not a bad decision

Elected public officials who watch out for the pocketbooks of their constituents should be praised. North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer is in that category. Conservative by political nature, Cramer was quick to jump on a report by a Twin Cities newspaper that Xcel Energy’s $5.22 million aviation budget includes two leased private jet aircraft. How much of that expenditure, Cramer wanted to know, was impacting Xcel customers in North Dakota?
