Enjoyed article about Frank Knight and elm
I enjoyed so much the article about Frank Knight and the elm tree, Herbie. In this day and age of contentious elections, economic distress, rising taxes, unemployment, death and destruction, it is a breath of fresh air to read a story so heartwarming.

Man’s checkered past irrelevant to accident
Here we see again the poor editorial judgment displayed by your paper. On May 18, the lead story on the front page is an article about the guy who died working on a camp, “Family Man Battled Demons.” He may have had a checkered past, but is that really relevant to the accident? I think […]
