Earlier this year the Champlin-Dayton Press reported on a rash of teen suicides during the 2009-2010 school year in the Anoka-Hennipen school district, the state’s largest with over 40,000 students.
One of the leading causes of death amongst teenagers is suicide. The Centers for Disease control claims it is the third leading cause of [...]
A recent Star and Tribune article highlighted growing demands on food shelves in neighboring Dakota County. Nearly half of the family clients are new to food shelves. Why to increased demand and why so many new clients? Simply put, it is the result of rising unemployment where people simply can’t find work and find food budgets stressed [...]
By all accounts, the Twins new stadium Target Field has been a smash hit. Over three million fans are expected to attend games by the end of the 2010 regular season schedule that encompasses more than 80 home play dates.
Now attention is focused on the possibility of a new football stadium. One issue m,any cite [...]
Rush Limbaugh was on a roll railing as usual against this and against that. He proclaimed his complete opposition to health care reform. Why it would be complete socialism, he proclaimed. If the Obama health care plan is passed, Rush Limbaugh would move to Costa Rica. Apparently Rush failed to check into the Costa Rica [...]

Its about Time Magazine, that is. The September 22 issue touches on several issues that, while quite major, may be overlooked as we head into election time. The current economic mess and bailout is a result of poorly thought out policies as well as some just plain foreseeable stupidity on the part of some of our [...]
Americans have been fascinated by the latest national political fascination named Sarah Palin. Fact checkers have had a hayday as they often find little truth in many claims made by both the candidate and the McCain/Palin campaign. The question is: Does the public care? Perhaps the office of Vice President of the United States isn’t that [...]
Yes. That’s right. Representative Mike Beard campaigned for his first election with a promise to the voters that he would hold the line on taxes. Unfortunately, that just didn’t happen for most residents of Scott County. The record is that Rep. Beard voted tax breaks for a favored few in Scott County and then raised [...]
Do movie stars really know anything about politics that deserves public attention? Well, one would believe that some are just as well informed as any of the rest of us. A few happen to generate public interest. While so many may be tiptoeing around the subject of Sarah Palin, Matt Damon gets right to the [...]
