The Book Nook

Beautiful Drama   Reading “The Lives of Edie Pritchard” by Larry Watson reminded me of the quote “Beauty is a curse”.  While many express a desire to be beautiful, few would want to be defined only by that quality, which is one of the themes explored in this tension-filled look at identity and violence in a well-described setting.

Letters to the Editor

Gerrymandering - a weird word that names an even weirder practice, one that has never seemed to me like it should be legal. Gerrymander definition: To divide a state etc. into election districts to give one party UNFAIR advantage in elections.

Letter: Retzlaff stands for school district transparency

Letter: Medical personnel are true treasures

It has been a difficult year. For 12 months and a few days we’ve watched loved ones die and wondered if we would be next in line. Yes, we could have been informed two months earlier, and vaccine creations and testing could have probably led to earlier vaccinations. However, that ship has sailed.

Letter: District has lost too many students

Our school district has lost 200 students. I would like to know why these families left. Did families leave to find work to put food on the table? Did parents feel the virtual learning models provided by our district were inadequate?
