Local view: UMD should take over Old Central 
Duluth’s glorious Old Central is a Romanesque masterpiece listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Her 230-foot clock tower pierces the Northland sky with bells that rival the chimes of “Big Ben” in London.

Local view: OK, Duluth is a college town, but can it be more?
One of the most exciting aspects of the recently approved Higher Ed Small Area Plan, love it or hate it, is its potential to finally advance the conversation about neighborhood development among homeowners, college students, landlords, the universities and the city beyond their respective feedback loops.

Local view: ELCA position on marriage respects diversity and a love of neighbors
Members from the Northeastern Minnesota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America met in assembly April 27-29 to be encouraged in our mission and ministries together. Our theme was the “Marks of Discipleship,” the ancient practices of the Christian life: prayer, Scripture study, encouragement, worship, serving beyond the congregation, giving and inviting. There were about 350 voting members present from more than 130 congregations. Our synod has a membership of 69,000 and is part of a 4.2 million-member church.

A judge's view: Schools, courts can’t solve truancy problem without parents
Yesterday I had my regular child-protection calendar. Of the 16 scheduled cases, seven were based on truancy petitions. How can more than a third of a particular docket be truancy cases?

Local view: Funding youth intervention is fiscally responsible
As director of the Truancy Action Project and Student Attendance Review Board for Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, I know how crucial youth intervention services are. The project, review board and Lutheran Social Service provide a continuum of prevention and early intervention services with the goal of improving attendance and keeping kids in school. By working cooperatively with students, families, schools, the courts and other community agencies, we are able to identify barriers to regular school attendance, remove these barriers and help students improve attendance.
