Why don’t you make it a policy for anyone posting comments on the stories/articles, that it is required they post under their true name as registered as a poster?
ADAMS: No offense meant to Californians
I just wanted to respond to Sunday’s letter from John Gavin. A few from our family snowmobiled to the warming hut on that day and did record their names in the guest book ... along with a comment about moose. Someo…
TREE: Will miss all it represents
Well, no matter how anyone else feels, the “powers that be” removed that beautiful tree anyway. It’s absurd that the “developers” could not find a way to work around the tree. Other places have, leaving beautiful s…
CLASS: Learn your Constitution
Many people today are interested in the Constitution. There is a FREE course that anyone can sign up for online at Hillsdale College. Over 500,000 people have signed up so far and the college is setting a goal for …
COUNCIL: Looks a little like Congress

OBAMA: Picking up a big tab
Here is some unpublicized info as to Obama spending. He is — figuratively speaking — writing checks to pay for the war and all contracts created under the Bush/Cheney administration. He is writing death benefit che…
PARADE: Lacked Irish essentials
A St. Patrick’s parade without bagpipes and Irish dancers. What should I expect from a city that would cut down a Freedom Tree for a parking lot! Shame on you Cd’A.
HUMANE: Don't miss this meeting

COUNCIL: A sorry state of affairs
After reading the Press article about Mr. Adams’ allegations about being threatened by the mayor and City Attorney Mike Gridley, I feel compelled to state the facts as I saw them.
ADAMS: He owes an apology
I think Steve Adams needs to apologize to all the people who have relocated here from California for the comment he appears to have left in Magee warming hut on 3/16/13. It is a guest book. . . not a place for that…
