Letters to the Editor
To the editor: In the Biblical story of Adam and Eve they fell victim to temptation and ate from the apple (the tree of the knowledge of good and evil). It led to shame (their naked bodies), isolation (hiding from the Lord), deceit (the first lie), and divisiveness (between the couple). It ended...
To the editor: Some people would say that special interest groups are bad. I would disagree. Special interest groups have clear missions; they attempt to sway the beliefs and opinions of others. I fit my definition of a special interest group as I also am attempting to potentially sway public...
To the editor: There’s too much about the expansion of Camp Grayling I don’t know. Then I figured it out: Not knowing is a big part of the problem – not just for me but for everyone else, too.
Why does Camp Grayling need all that land? We don’t know. They’ve given us half-reasons but nothing...

To the editor: I hope you print this. It is so true. They are so lucky to live in a country as beautiful as America and enjoy the freedom seniors past and present fought for.
