LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Unions are anti-republican
Many Minnesotans are watching what's unfolding in Wisconsin and have strong feelings about it. This is understandable since we are right next door and have similar financial problems in our state. However, are you getting the right information to form your opinions? I don't think the majority of the media …

Northland Band students are a great group of kids
I would like to thank the Northland Community Schools Senior High Concert Band and their director Ben Kinser for an amazing trip to Nashville a few weeks ago. I was fortunate enough to be chosen as a chaperone and was truly blessed by the great time we had.

Emily Blood Drive - Be a donor
Spring is here, and everyone is so busy trying to get caught up on everything that the long winter would not let them get done. This all has slowed down blood collections and the Red Cross is trying hard to once again, build up the supply of blood on hand.
Budget vs. Spending Cuts

Senate File could lead to reduction in Senior LinkAge services
Funding cuts in Senate File 760 will lead to a severe reduction in services provided by the Senior LinkAge Line®. This comes at a time when more people are aging and their ability to live at home independently often hinges on whether they can access services in their community.
