Opinions

Thanksgiving is behind us. Yes, millions of U.S. citizens took to airports, highways and visited with family and friends over Thanksgiving. All of us were warned that there would be an extreme spike following the holiday. Well, my wife and I thought it was worth the risk to venture to Maple Grove...
Area Chambers of Commerce are not allowing the Grinch to steal Christmas 2020. Kasson, Mantorville, Byron and West Concord area businesses are launching an all out attack on the Grinch and hosting activities targeting moms, dads, kids and grandparents. Kasson’s Chamber of Commerce (KCC) is...
No one is surprised when an eight-foot gator climbs out of a South Carolina water hazard and trapes across a tee box. But it’s not quite as common in Minnesota. A three-foot alligator emerged 10 feet in front of Cory Klocek when he was hunting near East Bethel on Saturday’s opener. It being 2020,...
Earlier this week I received a call from a young woman upset that an editorial in this newspaper titled: “It’s over and the winner is…?” She was upset, claiming it was pro-Trump. In conversing with this reader, I suggested that she consider writing a letter or guest column refuting what she had...
Many strange things have occurred in 2020. Nothing compares to what recently popped up in Wisconsin. A snowmobile was being transported on Highway 63 in northwest Wisconsin when the vehicle carrying to sled was pulled over. Now transporting a snowmobile in that neck of the woods is not uncommon....

I’d rather focus on local folks. A...
Even during a pandemic creative minds are at work to develop items for the 2020 Christmas tree. These are not your typical stars, wreaths or a partridge in a pear tree. Nope. These are unique to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s Santa ornament is wearing a facemask. That’s right. Jolly Old...
In many ways COVID-19 has brought out some of the worst and best of humankind. Yes, we’ve had riots in New York, Portland, Minneapolis, St. Louis and Seattle. The virus has also brought out the best. Take for example, the 57-year-old farmer near Crosby, N.D. whose cardiac arrest prompted his...
