How Old is Too Old?
Recently I was driving within the city limits with my 8 year old daughter. As I typically do, I travel about 35 miles per hour when the posted speed is 30 mph. Surprisingly I quickly approached the ...

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
Do not reward terrorists with fear
Two bombs tore through the crowds gathered at the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday afternoon. Three were killed and more than 170 were wounded in the act of terrorism.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
Bury this senseless amendment
Rep. Todd Porter, R-Mandan, N.D., is on his third attempt to remove respected conservation organizations from representation on the North Dakota Outdoor Heritage Conservation Fund’s advisory board. His motivation is suspect. His reasons are nonsensical.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , 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
Lawmakers should strengthen the bench
North Dakota courts are very busy. There’s more business, more people and, inevitably, more need for judges. Responding to that need, the state Legislature will add three or four district judges to the Northwest, East Central and, perhaps, the South Central districts. It will be taxes well spent.By Bismarck Tribune , April 16, 2013
Other Views: Vigilant as the rivers rise
It’s clear that 1997 was a watershed year in the Red River Valley. No pun intended.By Grand Forks Herald, Grand Forks , April 15, 2013
Letter to the editor: Jamestown College play was ‘delightful’

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
Keep on top of crew camp issue
Stutsman County and the city of Jamestown are smart to plan for possible crew camps in the area, and people should stay informed about the process. While overall a positive for the area, economic development does bring problems with it, and the Jamestown area is experiencing a housing crunch due to growth. It’s a great problem to have — the rest of the nation, with its high unemployment figures, still looks to North Dakota with great envy — but it’s still a problem.April 12, 2013
Corps’ plan: Click ‘unlike’
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers apparently learned nothing from the disastrous Souris River flood of 2011, at least not when it comes to communication.By Minot Daily News , April 11, 2013
Legislature sends mixed message
In just a matter of hours, the North Dakota Legislature sent a confusing message about open government. The State Senate did the right thing when it approved an amendment removing executive sessions from House Bill 1215 on March 27. The amendment guaranteed that if school boards wanted to allow guns on campus, any discussion about the issue would be done in public.By Williston Herald , April 10, 2013
