Vision 2000 story touches a nerve with former councilman
I've always thought that good journalism should provoke emotions. That's why I took it as something of a compliment when former Mitchell city councilman Terry Timmins, in an op-ed piece published toda...

In Other Words: S. Dakota’s counties find themselves at crossroads

County government, like all levels of local government, is experiencing challenges in delivering services and fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities. Counties, especially, were given specific duties in our state constitution.
Some of these include law enforcement, criminal prosecution, criminal defense, criminal incarceration, public welfare, and public safety as well as public transportation. The cost of these essential services has risen dramatically — much faster than the revenue to support them.

In Other Words: Farmers: A great resource

This Thanksgiving, families across this nation gathered to count blessings, gobble up great food and bask in the abundance of what Americans have come to know as food security. I am a South Dakota farmer and I am proud to help provide for our nation’s food security through my every day activities.

In Other Words: State can’t afford not to fund preschool for low-income kids

My father was a wise and prudent man. He once took three spindly twigs and stuck them into the ground. They were just wisps, never to amount to much at all. I snickered a bit. But they stood fast, and after a couple of years, grew a foot, then two, then three. I am a father of three daughters, and soon we began to call the saplings the three sisters. They stood in a row, one becoming tall, one taller, the other taller still.

In Other Words: Church/state separation aided by Franklin

New York Times columnist David Brooks calls Benjamin Franklin “our founding yuppie.” He had it all: success, money and world-wide fame.

In Other Words: Welcome the future of energy with open arms

As president/CEO of Knight & Carver Wind Group, with a full-scale wind blade manufacturing and service facility in Howard, I have this promise to make: If the Clean Energy Bill now being considered in Congress is successfully approved, our facility could easily double or triple in size, output and, most importantly, our workforce. That would be our response to the increased demand that will undoubtedly result from transitioning to a clean energy economy.

Opinion: After appeal to dissatisfied Anglicans, who's next?

As an Episcopal priest and member of the Worldwide Anglican Communion, I must say I am more than a bit curious about the Vatican’s appeal Tuesday to so-called “dissatisfied Anglicans” (as reported in an Associated Press report in Wednesday’s Daily Republic).

Opinion: McGovern paid his dues: War veteran shouldn’t have to defend his beliefs

Which Methodists are real Methodists? To which Synod do real Lutherans belong? If George McGovern and his father, who was a Methodist minister, were followers of John Wesley and their church had Methodist in its name, they were Methodists. If there are differences of any significance among Methodists, let God sort them out.

In Other Words: Driver inattentiveness is hindering road safety in S.D.

Hopefully by now we are all well aware of the “Move Over Law.” It has been a law in the state for about six years now.
The reason? To protect people, and not just law enforcement.
It was enacted to protect people on the side of the road with roadside emergencies and to protect law enforcement officers with whomever they have stopped road side.

In Other Words: Throughout history, S.D. has adapted to changing times

Twelve years ago, most of the buildings on our farm burned down — intentionally. Over the years, my father had amassed quite an array of chicken coops, hog houses, and storage sheds filled with junk, or as he put it, “antiques.” In the summer of 1997, my brother Tim and I were planning to construct a new farm shop and those ramshackle buildings sat in an ideal location.

In Other Words: Drivers, pedestrians both must follow laws, be alert, to be safe

In recent months there have been several instances of vehicles failing to yield to pedestrians while the pedestrian is within a crosswalk. But what are our responsibilities as a driver or a pedestrian? Well, hopefully I can shed some light on the subject to help keep everyone safe.

In Other Words: We must come to senses on important moral issues

I believe that the two great social issues facing our American culture in our day is the sanctity of marriage and the sanctity of life. Using the term “sanctity” suggests a religious connotation. That’s because these two issues always trace back to one’s religious convictions. The single greatest challenge today to the sacredness of marriage is whether we should redefine marriage to include homosexual relationships.

In Other Words: Goal of Focus 2020: Make our region a better place

There are very few things more valuable to a community than people raising their hands and saying they will volunteer to help.
Volunteers give the most precious gift we have in life — the gift of time — and volunteers do so for no pay or personal gain, but rather for the simple satisfaction of trying to make things better, make life more enjoyable and in the hope of building a better community and region.

Opinion: Getting our second wind: Newspapers have more readers than ever

Who said newspapers are dinosaurs, extinct, obsolete?
I don’t think so. Newspapers today, both in print and online, have more readers than ever.
This trend was again evident during recent Red River Valley flooding, when The Forum and inforum.com became the go-to sources for accurate and up-to-date information.

Opinion: Now, more than ever, a good time to be supportive

Abbott House has been a safe haven for abused children for over 69 years. We provide residential and therapeutic services to girls and families in South Dakota and promote healing in all that we do. As an organization we literally are saving lives every day that would otherwise be destined for abuse and in many cases an early death.
