Sad to say, the Minnesota budget will drive more Minnesota families and businesses out of this…Read More state.
The Democrat Party has enacted a far-left wing agenda. New business start-ups in Minnesota continue to decline. Why should a business invest in a state with confiscatory taxes? Wisconsin and the Dakotas, with excellent Republican governors are attracting business and top-flight workers, while Minnesota stagnates at best.

Candace. Religious groups currently perform same sex marriages, as they have in the past. Requiring…Read More a religious ceremony for a marriage does not solve your problem of same sex marriages. It only denies marriage to non-believers. And would you include every religion? Or just those of which you approve?
Same sex marriage is nothing new. Despite your lack of information, same sex couples have been getting married throughout history, and marriage has taken many other forms as well in addition to the 8 types found in the bible.
Dire predictions of collapse do not show how treating all persons equally under the law results in the loss of freedom rather than the expansion of it.

Donald.
We can agree on liking better, the old format that allows direct replies.
Strange you…Read More would accuse Mike H. of seeking a utopia, and then describe your childhood experience where all conflicts are successfully resolved by the parties involved, without the help of adult intervention. Most of us lived in a very different reality, where bullies were often tolerated if not encouraged by many adults, and some kids suffer severe harm which results in suicide for more than a few.
While I don't support "zero tolerance" laws or policies that expel all kids who are involved in a physical altercation, I support adult intervention in all such events. They should be used to teach civilized conflict resolution, anger management, and assess the need for any other intervention. Kids who bully are often learning it at home through being abused.
Did you skip reading "Lord of the Flies"?

American Academy of Pediatrics: "The terms reparative therapy and sexual orientation conversion…Read More therapy refer to counseling and psychotherapy aimed at eliminating or suppressing homosexuality. The most important fact about these “therapies” is that they are based on a view of homosexuality that has been rejected by all the major mental health professions. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,6 published by the American Psychiatric Association, which defines the standards of the field, does not include homosexuality. All other major health professional organizations have supported the American Psychiatric Association in its declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973. Thus, the idea that homosexuality is a mental disorder or that the emergence of same-sex attraction and orientation
among some adolescents is in any way abnormal or mentally unhealthy has no support among any mainstream health and mental health professional organizations.

"Despite the general consensus of major medical, health, and mental health professions that…Read More both heterosexuality and homosexuality are normal expressions of human sexuality, efforts to change sexual orientation through therapy have been adopted by some political and religious organizations and aggressively promoted to the public. However, such efforts have serious potential to harm young people because they present the view that the sexual orientation of lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth is a mental illness or disorder, and they often frame the inability to change one’s sexual orientation as a personal and moral failure.
Because of the aggressive promotion of efforts to change sexual orientation through therapy, a number of medical, health, and mental health professional organizations have issued public statements about the dangers of this approach. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Counseling Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American School Counselor Association, the National Association of School Psychologists, and the National Association of Social Workers, together representing more than 480,000 mental health professionals, have all taken the position that homosexuality is not a mental disorder and thus is not something that needs to or can be “cured.”
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises youth that counseling may be helpful for you if you feel confused about your sexual identity. Avoid any treatments that claim to be able to change a person’s sexual orientation, or treatment ideas that see homosexuality as a sickness." AAP

Ironically, much of the research showing orientation is not a choice, comes from failed efforts to…Read More change it. Not only have such efforts shown efforts to change orientation are not successful, but that they are often harmful to the point of self destructive behavior including suicide.
"Contrary to claims of sexual orientation change advocates and practitioners, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of psychological interventions to change sexual orientation," said Judith M. Glassgold, PsyD, chair of the task force. "Scientifically rigorous older studies in this area found that sexual orientation was unlikely to change due to efforts designed for this purpose. Contrary to the claims of SOCE practitioners and advocates, recent research studies do not provide evidence of sexual orientation change as the research methods are inadequate to determine the effectiveness of these interventions." Glassgold added: "At most, certain studies suggested that some individuals learned how to ignore or not act on their homosexual attractions. Yet, these studies did not indicate for whom this was possible, how long it lasted or its long-term mental health effects. Also, this result was much less likely to be true for people who started out only attracted to people of the same sex." APA
Based on this review, the task force recommended that mental health professionals avoid misrepresenting the efficacy of sexual orientation change efforts when providing assistance to people distressed about their own or others' sexual orientation."

As I said earlier " if all goes well we will end the 49er days festival with fireworks on…Read More Sunday, June 30th" Unfortunately all did not go well and we will not be able to have the fireworks this year. It takes a lot of donations to run a festival this large, so maybe if we get an early start for next year we will end the 2014 49er Day's Festival with a bang. Also we still could use some volunteers to help at tome of the functions during the festival. If you are able to volunteer, call Tom Bourque at 603-548-3958

We (parents) have created the hyper competitiveness of amateur sports. Pressure on coaches is about…Read More winning, not too many coaches get fired who win state championships. . The measure that USA Hockey uses to assess the advancement of skill levels of US players is how many reach the NHL. The state legislature is trying to solve a problem even though they cannot define what the problem is.

The writer of this bill, Dean Urdahl, has gone on the record that NO coach has ever lost his job in…Read More Minnesota based only on parent complaints - so why all the fuss and sense of need to do something? What Leah seems to think is the opinion of many parents and she is very wrong. Hasn't everyone read the news reports of coaches who abuse players, who steal from the school district, who are horrible with kids, who choose teams based on which parents will contribute $ to the program? This ILLEGAL behavior routinely happens in practically every school district. This legislation is a shield for bad coaches. Never heard of a good coach, who treats players with respect and who works on skill improvement in positive ways ever being let go. School districts and bad coaches put duct tape over their mouths to avoid the scandal that would result if the community knew what was happening on some high school teams. AD's, principals and school boards already have plenty of policies in place that make it almost impossible to fire employees - why do coaches need more protection than the lunch ladies, custodians, aides, teachers and support staff? The answer is they don't and this whole thing is a ploy to keep the good old boys network of bad coaches in their positions.

My son attends a school with the opposite situation. He attends a private school, competion to…Read More attract new students can get severe. His school has gotten caught up in the desire to be a player in the sports arena in an effort to gain more students. While I admire the desire to become more competitive, when you dont have enough kids to field a football team, being competitve shouldnt be your first priority. The school has recently gone away from teachers being coaches to hiring outside the school. They recently hired a baseball coach that used to play professionally. When he is not coaching highschool, he runs a baseball academy. He cant live off only his coaching salary. His baseball academy is his bread and butter. It costs about $4000 to attend this academy. Half the academy was made up of his own highschool players. The players that paid the money and attended the academy played all the innings during the highschool season. The school was left with a huge black eye and was forced to replace him. The school has a senior class of only 70 kids (boys and girls) to begin with. It seems the math teacher who used to coach the team didnt have a sexy enough resume to attract outside students. The fiasco caused many average kids who couldnt afford the academy to quit. Now the school has even fewer kids playing and is forced to play underclassmen at the varsity level to fill the roster. Making a bad team even worse.

I agree with Ms. Powell, the cops have encrypted frequencies they can use that aren't available to…Read More scanners. If the cops don't use them it's their mistake. The majority of communication should be allowed since law enforcement is paid for by our tax dollars making it publicly owned. The people have a right to know what their government is doing!
