Our view: Student achievement: A fresh look is needed to solve old problems
Few would — or could — argue with Stephanie Heilig, the principal of Grant and Nettleton elementary schools, who said in Sunday’s paper that “we’re working really hard” to narrow the academic achievement gap between students of different races in Duluth.

Our view: Don’t tie up courts with Skyline scrum
A lawsuit accusing the city of Duluth of violating state environmental laws by allowing development that blocks scenic views got tossed out of court this week. Good. But also bad.

Our view: A national holiday — but for what?
On Presidents Day, just what do we do for the holiday declared, presumably, to honor those who toil in the Oval Office and live in the White House? And just why do our federal employees need the day off to do it?

Our view: Someone has to know, has to come forward
An 18-year-old kid — or anyone, for that matter — can’t just disappear, can’t just walk out of a nightclub, find his way to the nearby hotel where he planned to spend the night and then just vanish outside the hotel’s doors. Yet that’s precisely what appears to have happened to Sylvester “Sly” McCurry, a senior at Duluth East High School.

Our view: USA! USA! USA!
Some we’ve been cheering since they were tykes, teetering about on our Northland hockey and curling rinks; others have left us breathless since deciding to make the Duluth area their home, whether for college or for other reasons. And now they’re on one of competition’s grandest stages, giving the rest of us yet another opportunity to support them, to applaud, and to share in their achievement.

Our view: One click a day will help Duluth kids play
Sunday’s Super Bowl commercials were great, weren’t they? The funniest batch of ads in eons. But did you notice one product missing, a soft drink that for 23 years has been a Super Bowl staple?
