Kendra Leibfried, Penn, N.D., letter: GF needs more Britney-type concerts
Having such big concerts is an awesome way to invite people from all over the country into our community. It’s a good way to get us recognized and maybe even convince people that North Dakota is a great place to live.November 19, 2009
Ole Aarsvold, Blanchard, N.D., letter: 'Centers’ needed better oversight from the start
I have some serious concerns about the state’s “Center of Excellence” program. The recent audit shows the program doesn’t have adequate accountability and that it is hard to measure the economic impact of the program.November 19, 2009
Julie Anderson, dean, UND College of Nursing, letter: Delegation proves invaluable to RAIN
On behalf of the UND College of Nursing, I want to extend our deepest appreciation to Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan and Rep.

Ross Hartsough, Grand Forks, letter: Current events point to ‘life out of balance’
I just read where a certain Big 10 football team won a game in which their 26-year old former professional soccer player kicked a last-minute field goal. Are you listening, high school coaches? There are lots of pros out there who never got a high school diploma; go get ’em.November 18, 2009
Jim Chattin, Devils Lake, letter: Set a timetable for Afghanistan withdrawal
After listening to arguments from commentators ranging from George Will to our ambassador in Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, I have changed my mind. We should pull out.November 18, 2009

Our health care system is in crisis and will only get worse if delayed by implementation of a trigger provision being debated in Congress.November 16, 2009
Matt Nastasi, Grand Forks, letter: Don’t listen to lobbyists’ complaints
The health care bill is far from perfect, but it expands coverage to 96 percent of Americans, increases choice with a public option available everywhere, ends discrimination due to pre-existing conditions or gender and helps reduce the deficit.November 16, 2009
Curt Stofferahn, Grand Forks, letter: Pomeroy’s critics hide own vested interests
I’m disgusted by the TV ads attacking Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., and trying to scare seniors about health care reform.November 16, 2009
State Rep. Weezie Potter, D-Grand Forks, letter: Fact-checking groups dispute ad’s claim
The ad is meant to scare seniors and slam Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D. But most of what the characters say in the ad is false, according to FactCheck.org.November 16, 2009
Tamie Gerntholz, Sanborn, N.D., letter: A chance to help pregnant moms
There’s so much at stake, because premature and low-birthweight babies face an increased risk of serious health problems and chronic lifelong disabilities.November 15, 2009
