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

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
More should sign up for CodeRed here
Every summer, North Dakotans can be certain they’ll have to put up with road construction and severe weather. The road construction is predictable and steady, but the weather is anything but. These storms are simply a fact of living in the Northern Plains.May 01, 2013
Erdrich richly deserves award
Louise Erdrich richly deserves her selection as the latest recipient of the North Dakota Rough Rider Award, which honors current or former North Dakotans who were influenced by the state and achieved national recognition in their field. That’s certainly the case with Erdrich, who grew up in Wahpeton and has won many accolades as an author, including the National Book Award in 2012 for her last novel, “The Round House.”By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , April 30, 2013

Editorial: Time for Shirvani to resign
Hamid Shirvani’s brief tenure as North Dakota’s chancellor of higher education has been remarkable for its seemingly endless blunders, arrogant management style and needless controversy, all of which have damaged the state’s 11 campuses and their students.By The Jamestown Sun Editorial Board , April 29, 2013

Williston is not a story of crime
One glance at the Williston Herald in recent weeks makes it look like we live in a city overrun with criminals. Yes, crime has gone up. More people equals more crime, and more crime equals more headlines in the newspaper.By Williston Herald , April 25, 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

Put part of oil-tax fund into stocks like Alaska does
A billion here, a billion there. And pretty soon, you’re talking about the Alaska Permanent Fund, which reached a new high of about $45 billion at the end of March. North Dakota may have topped Alaska in oil production, but North Dakota’s oil tax “Legacy Fund” has a long way to go before it catches up with its Alaskan sibling.By Grand Forks Herald , April 23, 2013
