Sunshine Week is March 14-20
Almost 200 years ago, James Madison wrote, “A popular government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy; or, perhaps, both.” His words remain a call to action today.March 10, 2010
Letter: High taxes producing negative impact
A recent editorial in the Feb. 27 Enterprise followed by a letter to the editor in the March 3 paper compel a response. These opinion pieces put forth an unsubstantiated theory that a policy of “no new taxes” is ruining Minnesota.March 06, 2010
Letter: Lake George didn’t have cheapest gas
I have just read your article about the reopening of the Woodland Store in Lake George. A very nice tribute to this undertaking and great advertising. Congratulations to the Besslers.March 06, 2010

Letter: Think global and act local
The phrase “Think global – Act local” is commonly associated with the emergence of the environmental movement in late 1960s and early 1970s, and by the mid 1980s was widely adopted by educational institutions and multinational corporations as a superficial buzz word with which to demonstrate the sophistication of their world understanding. I have not heard the term used much in recent years, probably because it was over used and became a cliché. It might be time for a comeback.

We need to stop importing everything
This Valentine’s Day we had a typical exchange of cards and candies and chocolate. To my discontent was the revelation that candies that we had given our children were made in China.

County Road 18’s beauty at risk
I wonder how many of you have seen the beautiful fall colors along County Road 18 from #1 west to the Potato River dam. Last fall, my elderly parents, residents on that road, took a drive to view the fall colors.

Snowmobilers: A joy and a pain
Oh, aren’t they having fun! “Kicking up clouds of fresh snow, leaping approaches, etc.” Sure, they’re having fun, and dropping some money in the local tills, but there is a downside every local citizen also knows about.
