Get out your hankies out
(03/01/10)If you like love and love emotional distress, this is the film for you. Channing Tatum is John Tyree, a Army Special Forces soldier home on leave at the South Carolina shore. Amanda Seyfried as southern belle Savannah, drops her purse of a dock. When our hero dives in for it, what else could possibly happen except the too fall immediately into gushy PG-13 style love...
YOUNG VOICES" Silly Sarah, it's just a cartoon
(03/08/10) Sarah Palin just can't seem to stop lashing out at the jokes and references to her in the media. In a recent episode of Family Guy, a reference to Palin was made by a character that had Down's syndrome. The character is on a date with Chris, who asks what her parents do for a living. "My dad's an accountant, and my mom is the former governor of Alaska."... 
Trying times
(03/08/10)Isn't it amazing how at the time an idea sounds so good, but in the end it is ends up to be a real mess? Sometime back in the 20th century the government came up with the bright idea of importing Asian Beetles to take care of an aphid problem that we apparently were having here in the states. ... 
The volunteer spirit
(03/04/10)'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.' Margaret Mead said that. I am proud to say I am one of Storm Lake Hy-Noon Kiwanis newest members - following in the footsteps of my late grandfather. Grandpa (probably one of my most favorite persons in the world and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet) passed away ten years ago on Father's Day. He was a long time Kiwanian in Sheldon...
Slices of Life: Mother's realization: He ain't heavy, he's my brother
(03/01/10) I've been listening to them play all morning -- well, in between the bouts of fighting. The banter, wrestling, balls lobbed across the living room and Legos covering the floor of the rest of the house all make me realize something. (Besides the fact that the place is a mess.) One of the very best things I ever gave my boys is a brother... 
Fun stuff for furbabies
(03/01/10)Toy giant Mattel Inc. recently unveiled a high tech toy that will allow dogs to publicize their everyday activities. In its first-ever toy created for the canine community, Mattel introduced a product called "Puppy Tweets" that meshes the popular Twitter with people's love of pets. ... 
Global Warming Issue Comes Home: Change, made bite-sized
(03/08/10)'" Not only is (climate change) real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster. - Barack Obama 
What are you in for? 'Texting': Common sense shouldn't take a law, but this time it does
(03/04/10)I was driving down the road one day in Iowa, minding my own business, when a cop car pulled up beside me. What was he doing? I was going my usual 12 miles an hour in a 55 zone. I not only had my seat belt on, I'd made it into a fashionable pair of suspenders just so I wouldn't forget it. I was golden... 
Run, moose, RUN...Finding a new appreciation for the Winter Olympics
(03/04/10)I seriously didn't expect to watch the Winter Olympics. Millions of Americans spend four anxious years looking forward intently to not caring. A bunch of grown people on toboggans and stuff, right? Like we need to see snow. But I did find myself enthralled with the late-night replays of the action - which mostly seem to involve Mary Curillo making out with a stuffed moose. It's like a car wreck - I can't look away. Run, moose, run..... |

Proud to have taught building trades
(03/04/10) I read with interest the article that was recently published in your paper about the questions and comments that were discussed about the Building Trades program which is now located, run and partnered by the Storm Lake School system and B and B Construction...
Witter a cultural gem
(03/04/10) We are writing to say that the Witter Gallery's Chocolate & Chainsaws event last Friday made for an extraordinary evening. The Gallery was packed with visitors, the chainsaw sculptures, by local artisan Jeff Klatt, were intriguing, the chocolate was oh so scrumptious and the music of Laura Bernhardt and Josh Weitzel was terrific...
