Opinion

Letters to the editor, columns, and cartoons are the opinions of the contributors and not necessarily the Lake County Press. While we encourage readers to submit letters to the editor on issues they feel strongly about, we encourage writers to be respectful to one another. Your message is more likely to be heard if it is delivered in a civil manner. We also ask that letters include name, address, and phone number. Anonymous submissions or letters of questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged. The Lake County Press also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words; however, at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published occasionally. All letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content. Letters can be submitted to editor@lakecountypress.news. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Katey Cobbs this year.

At a recent regular Two Harbors city council meeting it was mentioned that online virtual access to city meetings was planned to be ended soon. In a phone call with city clerk Patty Nordean a proposed plan for transitioning to alternate access to meetings for the public was outlined.

Some juvenile delinquent threw a railroad flare into the very edge of the schoolyard and yours truly saw that and I thought it was a bomb. A bomb! That was 1959 and we had the bomb and the Soviets had the bomb and I saw a guy throw a bomb into the schoolyard. I hollered bomb and there out the window was a fizzing flare that every kid thought was a bomb and pretty soon the teacher was thinking it was a bomb and then all hell broke loose as kids scrambled and my friend Dave ran into a closet door and got a goose bump the size of a golf ball on his forehead.
