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.November 20, 2009
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.By Steve Schulz , November 13, 2009
The levy and what it means
A funny thing happened at the polls Tuesday. People took time from their busy days to drive there, stand in line, grab a No. 2 pencil, and go off in a booth and fill in the circle that essentially said, “raise my taxes.”November 06, 2009

Cash for Clunkers: wild success or miserable failure?
Cash for Clunkers has been the most successful program in the history of civilization. Cash for Clunkers has been a boondoggle — a prime example of government run amok. It all depends who you ask. It’s amazing that we hear those two statements constantly, presented all the time, with no one trying to reconcile them.August 26, 2009
An indoor Wadena events facility?
While it hasn’t seemed like a particularly wet summer, rain at inopportune times has spoiled (or at least dampened) the fun at many Wadena events this summer.August 19, 2009
A cheater’s game
There was much criticism of President George W. Bush when he lobbied Major League Baseball to clean up its sport. Critics said he was wasting the country’s time by talking about such a trivial issue. But Bush was right then — this is not a trivial issue.August 12, 2009
