Pete Bothun, Harding, Minn., letter: Don’t drain the pool memories from EGF 
My fondest memories of summers in East Grand Forks either started or ended at the pool. Granted, it was an easier time; but where else can young people go and get exercise and sun and have a safe and enjoyable time?

Todd Schumacher, East Grand Forks, letter: Failing to fix EGF pool would be mistake 
It’s sad to see that East Grand Forks may not fix its pool. I understand that repair estimates are more than anticipated, but I believe the pool is an asset to the city.

Trish Mohr, Grand Forks, letter: Root, root, root for home team at Legion games 
Before the summer baseball season is over, I’d like to invite everyone in Grand Forks to attend an American Legion baseball game at our local Kraft and Montgomery fields. Our post has two teams, the Blues and the Royals, and they host many teams from surrounding cities.

Ross Hartsough, Grand Forks, letter: From ‘women’ to ‘womyn’ to ‘derby girls’

Tom Hackbarth, Dan Fabian and David Dill, St. Paul, column: DNR’s implementation of wolf season falls short 
A new law to establish a wolf hunting and trapping season is being implemented by the Department of Natural Resources, but the agency’s proposed plan doesn’t meet the needs of managing wolves, doesn’t meet the public’s expectations and especially doesn’t meet the 2012 Legislature’s intent.

DOUG LEIER: Boaters must share water with others 
We’re fortunate that North Dakota’s waters are open to a variety of recreational uses. While we all like to have enough space so we can relax and stay safe, sometimes things can get a little crowded — at boat ramps and out on the water.

Tom Landwehr, commissioner, Minnesota DNR, column: For me, fishing made all the difference 
As Herald readers look forward to the fishing season, I encourage them to find a child and get a fishing rod in his or her hand.
To those readers, I say: You will never regret introducing a kid to this sport. You will be shaping a life in unknowable but positive directions.

Buel Sonderland, Fargo, letter: Act now to protect N.D.’s outdoor heritage 
A formal review policy would give North Dakotans a voice in the management of their outdoor heritage. The state tourism director, Sara Otte Coleman, has said that 'the No. 1 reason people travel to North Dakota is for the outdoor experience.'

OUR OPINION: A CRP of North Dakota's own 
The Conservation Reserve Program has proved its worth time and time again. North Dakota has derived tremendous benefits from it — enough so that the program should be kept strong, even if some of the federal funding falls through.
