Guard Thanks Voters

By Letter to Editor
Nine months ago, I would not have imagined being elected as a member of the school board. I am humbled by the overwhelming support of the residents of Davenport, Walcott, Blue Grass, and Buffalo. As the top vote-getter and the winner in 74 percent of the voting precincts, it is clear that the voters believe in my positive message of preserving neighborhood schools, fiscal responsibility, and consensus-building through community involvement.

Remember Others Affected by September 11

By Scott Morschhauser
I sit in my quiet house alone, writing this letter. It is one year since the 9/11 tragedy, and our nation is reflecting on the event. My story is slightly different than most. Other than the unfortunate victims and those directly in the area around the attacks, most Americans were never in physical danger because of 9/11.
