Have you ever considered how we take for granted some of the most amazing things in the world?

To the Graduating Class of 2024,Just look at you.

A significant discussion is taking place at the state Legislature in reaction to the recent announcement that eight community newspapers will close at the end of the month.Under a proposal in the Senate Education Policy Omnibus bill (SF 3567), school districts would no longer be required to publish their proceedings in newspapers and could instead move them to their own websites.We believe the proposal, which is backed by the Minnesota School Boards Association, is a knee-jerk reaction made too quickly after the announcement about the southwest metro newspapers and does not take into consideration possible solutions.While there is a possibility some of these newspapers could still be purchased, there is also a law already in place that says if you don’t have a legal newspaper in your county, those notices can be placed in a newspaper in an adjoining county.

Each generation of citizens in our country is tethered together by the major events that occurred during their developmental years.

If you don’t think life is amazing, consider the fact that you are sitting on a large rock orbiting the Sun in a galaxy called The Milky Way.
