Participate in or volunteer for Relay For Life
Just as the effects of a challenging economy are felt by families in every community, cancer, too, has a far-reaching impact. No matter how the stock market is performing or what the current unemployment rate is, there are still many people battling cancer and many others who are lending support alongside loved ones every day. These realities make the dollars donated and volunteer hours devoted to the American Cancer Society — a part of Becker County for many years — critically important.

Thanks for ‘incredible’ Daffodil Days
Hope bloomed in Becker County this year as we painted our community yellow with daffodils. The overwhelming support that local residents, businesses and other groups showed to support the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days® was incredible. My heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who participated in this campaign to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays, where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life.

Happy Mother’s Day, foster mother
If every one of Carol Springer’s children sent her a Mother’s Day card, she’d get just under 660 cards. Foster children that is. Springer, 69, and her husband, Frank, 79, residents of Orchards, Washington, have been parenting foster children, especially medically fragile or special needs children, since 1975.

Shatter stigmas surrounding mental illness
Stigma is defined in the dictionary as “a mark of shame or discredit — a stain.” Unfortunately, people who are coping with a mental health condition have to deal with stigmas every day. People judge them in all kinds of negative ways, making wrong, hurtful assumptions that only compound the problem, which is an illness not a defining personality trait.

Column: I don’t want to look at your privates
I had just finished with a shower and I was walking across the men’s (and boy’s) shower room with a towel around my neck heading for a locker. I walked past a little kid sitting on a bench with his back to me, bent over and untying his shoes. I scuffed his hair and said, “How are you today?” He said, “fine” and, still bent over with his back to me, mumbled something else.

Letter: Faith in God can turn even hardened criminals
During the past month several people of notoriety died. Entertainers always get substantial media coverage, such as Dick Clark. Another notable was reporter Mike Wallace. Someone else stirred brief national coverage, although his notable past was reported as the nasty, dirty tricks finagler of President Nixon’s campaign debacle in 1972. This man served prison time for his involvement. Most of the media consigned him to an ignoble past and a lesson of corrupt power. But that dark episode became a spring board for Charles Colson.

Alzheimer's Disease advocacy
As science finds cures for many diseases, people live longer. However, the longer we live, the more likely we will acquire the disease for which, as yet, there is no cure: Alzheimer’s.
