Check the box for Kendall Qualls

I have many people asking me who I support in the upcoming governor primary election. I can say with certainty that any Republican candidate will be better than the Democrat alternative. I will support Kendall Qualls in the primary. I first met Kendall and his wife about five years ago when my wife and I were involved in the COVID pandemic response from local schools and government mandates. At that time, our state was under the Trifecta Democrat rule in Minnesota. The Woke movement was in full force and effect. Kendall and his wife came and spoke to a “We The People” meeting ...

Solve problems instead of fighting

When I was a young man, the company I worked for sent me to a seminar for people becoming job foreman. It included all trades (plumbers, carpenters, electricians, and others). The speaker instructed us on the duties of a foreman: keeping projects on schedule, working with other trades, evaluating fellow workers, identifying their strengths ...you get the picture. The best way to evaluate a person was to consider the work they did incorrectly or had to redo. That was called an “Oh-poop.” He used a different four-letter word, but it cannot be printed here. Work done correctly and ...

Right the ship in Minnesota

To the Editor: So the legislative session has ended in Minnesota. It’s not surprising no one was held to account for the $9 billion (and counting) in fraudulent activities while Democrats were in control. Yes, some of the little people got their fingers slapped. The bigger fish have yet to be fried. Walz, Ellison, Frey, Klobuchar, Omar, Craig, (and countless others), all knew and were involved to some extent. The fraud no doubt continues in ways we have yet to discover. With Democrats controlling the governor, Senate, and a tie in the House, no meaningful pain was, or will be felt ...

Monthly Dental Clinics continue at Brown County Public Health

Brown County Public Health continues to provide space for dental services for people of all ages, from infants to adults, through Children’s Dental Services (CDS), thanks to a generous reinvestment grant from South Country Health Alliance. A dental team from CDS visits Brown County once a month to provide dental cleanings, exams, and cavity assessments. If additional dental work is needed, a follow-up appointment is scheduled. CDS accepts most insurance plans, including Medical Assistance, as well as private pay. Discounted fees are also available for individuals who qualify based on ...

ASAP on the Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention Act

When my mom began having memory problems, we knew something wasn't right. For nearly two years, we searched for answers, going from doctor to doctor before she was finally diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. She was only 57 years old. Those two years were filled with uncertainty, fear, and countless questions. Looking back, I often wonder how different our journey might have been if a simple blood test had been available to detect Alzheimer's disease earlier. Today, that possibility exists. Blood tests can now detect biological signs of Alzheimer's before symptoms even ...

Thank you for the opportunity

After careful consideration, I have decided not to seek another term on the school board. Serving our community has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I have had the privilege of working alongside dedicated teachers, administrators, staff, parents, and fellow board members who care deeply about our students and our schools. I have celebrated successes, wrestled with difficult decisions, and gained an even deeper appreciation for the people who show up every day to do the hard work of educating our children. My decision is mainly due to changes in my own life. My family and ...
