Letter to the Editor

Letters to the Editor by Ted Storck

June 21, 2022 by admin

Who in their right mind would want to be a law enforcement officer these days? If you are not berated by your sergeant, your lieutenant or the chief, every action you take is being analyzed by a judge or jury, at their leisure. No other occupation requires you to make a deadly decision in a second or less; a decision that may send you to prison for years. Being in law … [Read more...] about Letters to the Editor by Ted Storck

LETTER: You Made Us Smile

April 6, 2022 by admin

Whoever had a good time making all the snowmen and snowwomen to make us smile as we drove by the Courage Cottage - They made me smile! We who are grateful for all that the Courage Cottage provided some years ago remember how cheery any change to watch outside the windows was even more appreciated. This is no April fool…it is a smile and or a hug and “Isn’t it interesting … [Read more...] about LETTER: You Made Us Smile

Letter: Don’t Drive Without Liability Insurance

December 13, 2021 by admin

Last August driving down Third Street in Morris, a car pulled out from the curb, putting a deep crease in the side of my nearly new 2021 Ford F-150 hybrid pickup. I was devastated to see the damage, but the male driver assured me he had insurance and provided a Morris police officer and me with his insurance papers. The Morris Police then did a review of the accident which … [Read more...] about Letter: Don’t Drive Without Liability Insurance

Letter: Thanks Chris Melberg! And Good Luck!

December 6, 2021 by admin

I want to wish Chris Melberg, of Morris Floral, good luck in his new location, which is behind Twisted Ivy Boutique (same building.) I also want to thank Chris for his hard work, for his awesome bouquets, many of which my husband, Robbie Baum, purchased as surprises for me “for no real reason than ‘just because’.” I also want to thank you to Chris for his donations of … [Read more...] about Letter: Thanks Chris Melberg!

Letter: Exposing The Walls That Block Climate Solutions

November 29, 2021 by admin

At the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, President Biden boasted about America’s earnest intent ”to lead the world by example” in putting the brakes on the increasing climate catastrophe. Biden promised, as leader of the world’s third-largest coal consumer, “We’re going to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by well over a gigaton by 2030.” That promise rang hollow when the … [Read more...] about Letter: Exposing The Walls That Block Climate Solutions

Letter: Get Vaccinated To Protect Others

October 11, 2021 by admin

Get vaccinated for COVID-19, or if for some God-forsaken reason you decide you are not going to be vaccinated, make certain you tell anyone you are going to be near for more than a few minutes, that you are not vaccinated.  I write this, because a few weeks ago I was working outside, sitting with this person for about 30 minutes, without a mask. I assumed he had been … [Read more...] about Letter: Get Vaccinated To Protect Others

LETTER: Can We At Least Talk About Covid-19 In The Schools?

September 7, 2021 by admin

In Albert Lea, 290 stu­dents are quarantined due to COVID-19 exposure after one week of school. In Colorado Springs, my niece and nephew were sent home after two weeks of school.  Two weeks after At­lanta schools reopened, a doctor charted the per­centage of children with COVID-19 cases; at the eight schools with mask mandates, only one had a rate higher than … [Read more...] about LETTER: Can We At Least Talk About Covid-19 In The Schools?

Letter: Tree Board encourages residents to do their part

August 24, 2021 by admin

The City of Morris Tree Board encourages citizens to water the small boulevard trees near them to aid the city’s watering team. High windy heat and this continued drought are stressing all vegetation but especially those trees planted in the last five years. They need our help to live. Please give each tree a slowish soak of 5 gallons per week, preferably in the morning … [Read more...] about Letter: Tree Board encourages residents to do their part

Letter: Compassion and Professionalism at SCMC

July 6, 2021 by admin

On behalf of my 14-year-old son and family, we'd like to thank the team of professionals at Stevens County Medical Center for taking care of our boy after fracturing his arm in a football related incident. From the moment we entered the front doors, the greeter along with the registration desk staff knew my son was in pain and made sure he found his way to Urgent Care.
