  • It’s important to remember our origins

    1 day ago

    Every semester I show my students clips from a film called “Walking the Bible.” In it, the narrator tries to walk in those places that one reads about in Scripture. It’s a way for me to introduce my students to the idea of context. Those events recorded in Scripture have a geographical context. They didn’t happen on the plains of South Dakota in the 21st century. They have their own time and place. I believe it’s important for my students to know the origins of the text.

  • Marijuana has a dark side

    1 day ago

    Marijuana (cannabis) is generally viewed as a safe, innocent recreational drug and medical cure-all. It is neither, according to a recent MedScape report, “Smoke and Mirrors: Is Marijuana Actually Medicinal?” (April 18, 2018). The benefits are limited, the potential for harm is high.

    I have been the Brookings High School band director for nine years, and every year I am impressed and humbled by the students. They work extremely hard, practicing much of the summer and for one to two hours every day before and after school.

  • Criteria and clarity: Nelson for state’s attorney

    2 days ago

    As we close in on the final stretch of campaign season and voter preparation, debates and political ads, letters to the editor and in some cases, unabashed personal attacks, I often find myself wondering why so many people choose the role of passive observers instead of doing the work to understand their options, and the implications of the choices they make with their votes.

    Not long after a 2017 meeting in which Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein reportedly discussed wearing a wire to secretly record conversations with President Trump, two top officials in the meeting, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and bureau lawyer Lisa Page, went to the office of a third FBI official, general counsel James Baker.

    3 days ago

    We’ve likely all heard the old saying, “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” Well, it sure looks like there are far more complainers than voters right now.

  • Deer hunting season a time to enjoy nature

    3 days ago

    Old Jasper Blankenship bought a deer license again this year, just as he’s done every year since Eisenhower was president. He sticks nickels and dimes in a jar all year long and smiles each time he contributes. By Fall, he’s saved up enough for a deer tag.

  • Powering the community

    4 days ago

    Public power is not a term most are familiar with. But the fact is, if you live in Aurora, you are served by a public power utility. The city has owned and operated the local electric utility for 22 years, providing you numerous benefits.

  • Lessons from two days in September

    4 days ago

    Two days, not even a month apart, reveal a great deal about the vicious and venomous culture gripping Washington today, especially in the U.S. Senate.

  • Stop spending our money

    5 days ago

    I just read an article in the Brookings Register about the city council considering the Highway 14 (aka Sixth Street road project).One portion stated that the City of Brookings is considering paying nearly $400,000 for a decorative lighting upcharge.
