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 ...

Impressed With China
Days before I left to go to China a liberal friend of mine said he was interested to see if my political views might change upon being in China. His angle was, "yeah, they're communist, but look at th...

They haven't been to a circus, either.
This last weekend, the show "Walking with the Dinosaurs" (life-size dino puppets with a human narrator/host) came to town. And it seemed that everyone was going...especially if their kids love dinos....

Local view on Memorial Day: How we honor the people no longer with us

Jerry Kamper and I were in the same class at St. Bernadette’s Elementary. I remember him as a kid with wiry strength and nervous energy that often got him into trouble with the Dominican nuns. They expected self-control until 3 p.m. every day.

Reader's view: Misplaced priorities led to Vikings stadium

I couldn’t have agreed more with the News Tribune’s “Our View” editorial of May 9 regarding the handling of the passing of the Vikings stadium bill.

Reader's view: Balance needed when diversifying energy

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 31 represents 20 contracts across the northern one-third of Minnesota and a small portion of Wisconsin. We are the utility workers for Minnesota Power and Superior Water, Light & Power. And we want to show support for Minnesota Power and the diversity of its generation.

Reader's view: Broman’s athletic honor puts Duluth on the map

What a singular honor and recognition Duluth has received to have a young man, Anders Broman, selected as the National Athlete for the month of March.

Reader's view: Rights can be gained only when Walker is removed

Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin seems to fancy himself as another Ronald Reagan, who fired the air traffic controllers for an illegal walkout. The lesson Walker seemed to take from that incident was that the destruction of collective-bargaining rights is a path to fame, at least among Republicans. Walker’s apparent belief in his own presidential status is delusional.

Yes: They give taxpayers high-voltage shocks

Reader's view: Foreign students taking summer jobs from Americans

If President Obama is truly interested in helping college students during these tough economic times, why is he bringing into the U.S. 100,000 foreign students for four months of work?

Reader's view: Cravaack is working to protect Medicare

As a senior, I find it reassuring to see our representatives trying to preserve benefit programs like Medicare, which we were promised to receive when we reached a certain age. U.S. Rep. Chip Cravaack supports legislation that maintains, unchanged, Medicare benefits for all of us age 55 and older

Reader's view: Laws should not prohibit or require beliefs

How do we define what is right and what is wrong? Some folks look to God’s law in ancient, complicated doctrine to help them sort it out; but really, it is not that difficult.

Reader's view: Wind energy a viable alternate to fossil fuels

The writer of the May 18 column in the News Tribune, “Alternate-energy sources are not cost-effective,” got it wrong. Wind energy is clean, abundant and homegrown — and its cost is dropping.

Reader's view: Government should stop attacks on public sector

The main problem facing the U.S. Postal Service was created in 2006 when Republicans forced it to pre-fund retiree health benefits for 75 years in the future. No other government agency or private company is required to do that. This is another self-fulfilling prophesy created by the people who wish to privatize the Postal Service along with Social Security, Medicare and public schools.

Reader's view: Cravaack voted to weaken protection for women

I am disappointed, disgusted and angry with U.S. Rep. Chip Cravaack’s vote to weaken the protections in the Violence Against Women Act. If it wasn’t for these support systems, I would still be with my abuser. I wouldn’t be allowed to do anything, to go out and live my life or even to write this letter, without a strong Violence Against Women Act.

Duluthian's view: The sister cities Duluth, united by history

Duluthian's view: The sister cities Duluth, united by history Walking out the doors of the Atlanta airport, I anxiously anticipated a slap of warm Georgia air. But it definitely felt like the 60-degree air I had left behind in Seattle five hours earlier. It reminded me of the weather from my childhood days in Duluth.
