Halvorson: Life on two wheels
Jun 14, 2018
The view from my window is like a kaleidoscope, ever changing.
Tennis players, hang gliders, swimmers, hikers, bikers, sailboats and barges.

Jun 7, 2018
To the editor:
I too attended the town hall meeting with U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis as Deirdre Flesche said in her letter to the editor last week but I was appalled for different reasons.

Halvorson: Night sky is a beautiful sight
May 31, 2018
As I watched the light crew replace the incandescent bulbs with LED in the lovely old lamp posts, I couldn’t help but wonder how many of this generation have ever seen total darkness.
There was a time when there were no yard lights or street lights. I remember on hot summer nights when it was too...

May 31, 2018
To the editor:
My heart is heavy.
Like you I have always been proud to be an American, but the last two years have exposed an ugliness in this country that leaves us all exhausted and worried.
