STAFF BLOG JIMMY JABBER 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 ...

Local view: Let’s keep immigrant families together, help US
As one of the 65 bishops of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, I live in a faith that has deep roots in the biblical truths of justice, community and compassion. I write to encourage support for immigration reform in our country.

Local view: Duluth proved lynchings could happen anywhere
During 37 years in Duluth I have noted some here seem to consider the area intellectually and morally superior to places in the South, such as my native Kentucky. I especially questioned such assumptions when I learned of the Duluth lynchings. I had never before heard of a lynch mob taking a suspect away from police custody.

Former lawmaker's view: Lawmakers’ pay should be decided by others
The media like to report about the private lives of actors, athletes and politicians. Unfortunately, legislators are still waging political battles about their pay.

Local view: Did festival film romanticize the rape and torture of women? 
In the wake of the screening of Crispin Glover’s film, “It is Fine! Everything is Fine,” as part of the Duluth/Superior Film Festival last weekend — a film that romanticizes a man’s explicit sexual fantasies of the rape and torture of women — I have questions for progressive Duluthians who were there and for our community as a whole.

Local view: Biking in Duluth is moving quickly
The culture of a city is created by the people who call it home. At the annual mayor’s bike ride on May 17, Duluth Mayor Don Ness stated, “It’s great to see the enthusiasm for biking in our community and a commitment to healthy living. It’s really reflecting the sense of values and ethos of our community.” Throughout Active Transportation Week this culture of our city was reflected as residents discussed current community transportation issues.

A judge's view: Juvenile cases have become more serious
Juvenile delinquency court sure has changed over the past 30 years. Since the time I served as an assistant public defender in delinquency court from 1982 through 1988 until now, the cases have become more serious and complicated.

Local view: Tornadoes and other natural forces don't obey a god or man's begging
Our News Tribune published an editorial from the Oklahoman newspaper, headlined, “Another storm, another prayer for God’s mercy on Oklahoma.” This was on May 22 in the wake of a deadly tornado.

Local view: University missed a chance to teach because of political correctness
It happens mostly to young teachers and maybe more often to English teachers, whose classes are forums for a variety of communication.

Local view: Hypocrisy evident on lawmakers’ pay
After a focused and deliberate finger wag by House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, House Majority Leader Erin Murphy, DFL-St Paul, tried to lighten the mood by joking, “Uff da, I think the caps lock was on there.” She was referring to Daudt’s raised voice, but I don’t think Daudt was amused.

Local view: Here’s what’s right about Denfeld
The Denfeld staff would like the greater Duluth community to know how proud we are of Duluth Denfeld High School, our students, families and community. There are many wonderful things happening at the school. Students have reached a high level of success in the classroom, as well as in their athletic and extracurricular pursuits. Help us celebrate all that’s right with Denfeld as we share a small portion of these accomplishments.

Local view: Duluth is always home, except perhaps in winter
As I write this I am returning to Duluth for the summer. A timely move: Tucson’s temperature just topped 100 degrees for the first time this year. Tucson usually averages about 62 degrees this time of year. Yet it is a dry heat, so we can still sit in the shade to eat, read and enjoy the colorful desert and mountain terrain and wildlife.

Local view: Demystify synthetic demons by focusing on effects, not chemicals
I applaud the News Tribune’s coverage of the synthetic-drug epidemic ravaging our community, particularly the April 26 story headlined, “Synthetic drugs threaten shelter’s safe haven.” The article stressed how synthetic drugs are jeopardizing the housing needs, safety and well-being of many of my clients. As a medication-
