I have a big question for Denny Walaker, Mayor of Fargo, today. The question: Is what Bruce Brovold is saying today in his letter to the editor in The Forum true? Is the City of Fargo turning its head while innocent creatures die? Is the City of Fargo actually complicit in their deaths? Okay, that is actually three [...]

To the power of fathers…
Clarence Kelland (the American writer) once said, “My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” Character defined and delineated by action...it is the stuff that great fictional movie characters are made of and great humanitarian leaders.
