Oct 25, 2018
To the editor:
Like many of you I have spent many hours recently trying to pick a new medical insurance plan for next year. It is frustrating and expensive.

Halvorson: A rude awakening over a new mattress
Oct 25, 2018
If you haven’t purchased a new mattress lately be prepared for sticker shock.

Oct 25, 2018
To the editor:
The letter to the editor submitted by a group of Marina Point residents last week was misleading and not factual as it related to the plan for Marina Point and Ohuta Park.

Letter: Protect pro-choice
Oct 25, 2018
To the editor:
I hear so much about lowering taxes, less government over reach, more personal freedoms except when it comes to a woman’s body.
The difficult choice to terminate a pregnancy lies with the woman, her partner, her family, her clergy or counselor, not the government.
