Your Letter: A library is a ‘right’ for prisoners?

I was wondering if Pauline Lease or Renee Roth might be able to help me. I’ve been trying to find a U.S. code or a state statute that says prisoners have a “right” to a library.

A near-perfect hunt for the Phillips

The duck hunters went deer hunting and the season was a wild success. My oldest was successful in his very first hunt.

A few changes this week — for the better

It seems like 2009 has been about nothing but change at the Pioneer Journal and Intercom, and there are a few more this week. Hopefully our readers will like them.

Your Letter: Inmates’ choices for library didn’t satisfy

I wish to comment on Renae Roth’s letter regarding the county jail’s library being closed after some abused the privilege by hiding contraband in pages of some books.

From an economic perspective, the American Cancer Industry has the perfect business model.

Your Letter: Is the government qualified to run health care?

Does anyone really believe that the U.S. government can realistically come up with a health care plan that would be viable for us? Look at our history. The following is adapted from Citizen magazine. It was in the form of a cartoon but I try to put it in words for you.

Your Letter: A personal story about the need for health care reform

I commend the U.S. House of Representatives on the Nov. 7 passage of H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act. I commend those who voted for the bill, and encourage those who did not support the bill to reconsider giving support to reform in the upcoming final vote.

Correction: National Guard handover ceremony

In the Nov. 7 Pioneer Journal, a photo caption incorrectly identified the setting of the National Guard handover ceremony. It took place at Camp Ripley, not at the Wadena Armory. We apologize for the error.

Stockings seem emptier than ever

It’s been a tradition for decades in Wadena, organized by the Wadena Pioneer Journal and now with our new partners, the Madhatters. The need this year is likely to be the highest in decades, too, and there may be some actual empty stockings.

Your Letter: The flu is Obama’s fault?

I’m always amused by the lengths some people will go to blame all of their problems on someone else. A recent letter in this paper went so far as to blame President Obama for not curing the flu. Might as well blame him for the rain last week, or our upcoming winter. I haven’t gotten a deer yet, it must be Obama’s fault!
