RYAN BAKKEN: A beaded lockout solution
The American Crystal Sugar lockout is all about the sugar program, which is government protectionism that guarantees high prices for domestic sugar.

Al Rebsch, Grand Forks, letter: ‘Labor dispute’ a misnomer in Crystal case

RYAN BAKKEN: Too many hide behind wall of anonymity
My name — and sometimes my face — is attached to what I write. Because I’m held accountable, I’m offended when others can hide in anonymity while spreading venom. People have remarkable courage when they don’t have to stand behind their opinions.

RYAN BAKKEN: And now, for the CliffNotes of news ....
For column ideas, my first stop is the newspaper. Sometimes, an idea is abandoned because it will take more space than what is allotted. More often, the reverse is true. I usually don’t have enough fodder on any one topic. I’m the CliffNotes of columnists.
