Trump shouldn't talk about Clinton's health Mr. Trump would be wise to say nothing about Mrs. Clinton's health problems. In this God Help Us election year one might be tempted to vote for the candidate with the shortest life expectancy. Jerry Miller, Sebeka Personal ad inappropriate...

Drivers need to be careful during harvest season The other day we brought our farm machinery home from the field. It was a distance of nine miles. There are three fairly steep hills with double no passing lines on all of them. On the first trip home, we had the tractor and baler and...

Many reasons to be proud of Wadena As long-time residents of Wadena (34 years), we always took pride in our community, our schools and the residents. In the past year that sense of pride has grown. Last August a Minneapolis Star contributor took a drive up Highway 10, stopping in...

Hinson will continue to fight for truth Now that I am not a congressional candidate I can write a letter to the editor. Yes, while I was a candidate for the US House of Representatives, dozens of papers in our district refused to write about the race or allow my own letters to the...

Agree with Finnegan regarding refugees I thoroughly stand with John Finnegan's letter in a past paper. Both sides have to wake up and think about what is happening now and what will happen down the road. They have caused people to want them out of office come election time as they...

Not enough people showed up for primary After this primary, I agree with Democrats: This district is safely Democratic for Congress.

Confederate flag should be taken down The last weekend in July, we were driving north on Highway 10 to our vacation place. We were horrified to see the confederate flag flying prominently off to the right of the highway between Motley and Staples. To make things worse, we noticed...

Vote for someone who cares I remember how years ago I came to Perham through the help of a pastor's wife who noticed a need and took the time to care and find a solution. She and her husband changed my life almost two decades ago, connecting me with employment and housing, restoring...

Military memorial should be moved to vet's park I don't know the history of the military memorial on the lawn of the Wadena courthouse, but if it's agreeable to those who placed it there, could it be moved to the growing veterans park on highway east? Muriel Juers, Wadena

Students spending too much on textbooks An opinion piece that ran in the Washington Post and Brainerd Dispatch on the high cost of textbooks struck a chord with me. Why? I completely agree that students are spending too much on textbooks. The heavy burden of buying college textbooks...

Thanks for a fun June Jubilee Once again I'd like to publicly thank the community sponsors for the Wadena June Jubilee activities that five of my grandchildren and I enjoyed starting with the Grand Parade on Thursday evening. It was a perfect night for the parade and my only disappointment...

Stop funding for Planned Parenthood How can our state, our government, keep funding Planned Parenthood when they torture and dismember live babies outside the womb so they can get their beating hearts, livers, brains and other organs to sell to the highest bidder? Does Minnesota's...

Thanks for the yard help Once again we thank the young people for raking our yard. We are unable to do it so we really appreciate it. Nick and Pat Schmitz, Wadena

Apology to Republicans I never thought I'd see the day but I owe all Republicans an apology. I've thought for years baby Bush was the worst president of all time. He got us in a mess that will take 50 years to work out of. But now that the Donald is the nomination on the Republican...
