There’s no one to blame but yourself for missing class
Video games are the reason for students struggles in school as much as food is to blame for peoples weight issues. College often is a persons first taste of freedom (loads of free time) from parental ...

Old-fashioned – but not outdated

The world of technology is changing faster than most of us can fathom. It seems we barely finish uploading, updating or upgrading our computers, cell phones or iPods before the next version hits the market.

We are thankful for... volunteers

A person sees volunteers everywhere in Carlton County, in every season. Whether they’re ringing bells for the Salvation Army, coaching youth sports, visiting with folks at nursing homes, manning thrift stores, teaching people to read or garden or volunteering on the board of some local non-profit, there are plenty of folks in the county who give their time to make things better.

Kids are products of the world around them

“She’s got her father’s eyes and her mother’s smile….” How often we hear similar phrases uttered after the birth of a new baby as friends and family study every minute detail of the new infant’s appearance and mannerisms.

Springtime scams bloom during spring break, recent natural disasters

It’s a terrible thing to say, but we’d like to encourage our readers – senior citizens in particular – to be more cynical … at least when someone asks you to send money.

We knew it and recent U.S. Census results affirmed it: Carlton County is a great place to live.

How real is too real?

Some of us remember how movie goers used to marvel at the weekly news reels shown in most every theater in the country before the feature film got under way. It was about the closest thing to “breaking news” anyone experienced in those pre-television days, when film footage was shown of overseas skirmishes, politics, sports, and whatever else was happening around the world. Along with radio, the movie news reels were one of the primary sources of the news of the day.

Citizens and city officials learned valuable lessons, we hope

In a letter to the editor in last week’s Pine Journal, resident Clarence Badger wondered if the city had learned a lesson from the landfill issue – a proposed industrial landfill near the Hilltop soccer fields that will occupy 42 acres of a 260-acre site now occupied by gravel pits, a lumber yard and a previous landfill used for construction and demolition debris. There were several lessons our elected officials may have gleaned from the experience of the past eight months, in addition to a vast amount of practical knowledge pertaining to landfills.

Knowledge breeds empowerment

With the masses in Egypt and the Middle East protesting against government oppression, and state workers in Wisconsin rallying against legislation that would curtail their collective bargaining rights, it seems that half the world’s populace is making its voice heard in some very outspoken and no-holds-barred sorts of ways right now.

The ‘Next Txt 4 Life’ could be your own

Sometimes the answer to a complex problem is right in front of our eyes. When Carlton County Health and Human Services Director Dave Lee continued to see a high rate of suicide in young people around the county, he was not content to wait around for yet another focus group, another “best practices” verdict, another evidence-based solution.

Medicaid implementation accelerated by Dayton; better health care for thousands

This week, Gov. Dayton announced that he was able to accelerate Minnesota’s implementation of improved Medicaid benefits from October 1 to March 1 – providing better health coverage to 95,000 Minnesotans seven months before the Pawlenty administration said it could be done. I commend Gov. Dayton and his Human Services Department for their commitment to affordable health care and government efficiency.

Our View

Incredibly, a bill that would partially repeal Minnesota’s smoking ban was introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives this week. It was only three and a half short years ago that the state enacted its Freedom to Breathe Act that banned smoking in all public places and workplaces in the state. A few short months before that, Carlton County was forward thinking enough to have passed a similar ban all on its own. And even before that, the city of Moose Lake took it upon itself to make smoking illegal inside the city limits.

When one dies, we all die a little

This tragic week was marked by locked doors in Cromwell following a double homicide, flags at half-mast for the 20 people shot or wounded in Tucson at the hands of an assassin, and bells tolling in memory of those who lost their lives in the devastating earthquake in Haiti one year ago.
