The Minnesota Boating guide is online in pdf form at www.dnr.state.mn.us or available at many outlets in the region. For some reason, I always receive notice to get a new license tab for my little camper in February. Camping is the last thing on my mind in February. Once the seasons start to change in April, however, I begin the difficult task of searching for the notice. I’ve been caught at the last minute - right before I want to hit the road with my camper - and discovered that I hadn’t renewed the license tab. Rushing about like that really puts a crimp in plans and seriously affects attitudes. We’ve entered or are about to enter a Letters To The Editor: The staff of the Northern Watch en cour ages written re sponses to editorial comment or letters with original thoughts or ideas of general interest.

Letters Must Be Signed: All letters must be signed and contain an address or phone number of the writer so authenticity can be verified. Signatures must appear on letters published. The staff believes that there is greater credibility in To the Editor: I’m tired of hearing we have to be fair and equal - fair and equal for who? I don’t want anyone to suffer in any sphere of their lives and want to help those who truly can’t care for themselves. In many cases, however, it appears the programs that are there to help them prevent them from finding out what a blessing work and its rewards do for mind, body and soul. Doesn’t someone who works in any way he can to support themselves or their family deserve high praise and the right to keep what they earn? If you go to college, the most favorable aids, grants, tuitions, should go to the high achievers who will work and study to be our doctors, engineers, high-tech people. Most spend decades paying back those loans, and putting their lives on hold. If you choose a trade, you are so needed. If you choose no more education, you shouldn’t expect pay and perks equal to those who have applied themselves. Who helps the independent, small business owner if a customer files bankruptcy, leaving thousands in unpaid bills? Is it fair to allow that individual to start over again with much the same lifestyle? I believe politicians need to deny themselves like they want us to do. They need to balance the budget, cut their benefits, use the same health care plan we are told we need, which means no more free gyms, personal care services, transportation, trips that are more of a perk. When you leave Washington, you should not have benefits that equal or exceed what you earned. Live on your retirement. God bless the few who really try serve “we the people.” Use all you can to control the national debt and deficits. Don’t cut the rug from under our military and leave them out to dry. Cut waste, but there is a lot more waste in such foolish studies and political favors for votes. If anyone chooses to use and abuse drugs of any kind, why should others be responsible to pay the costs? If you choose friends and activities that lead to wanting an abortion, must we, who abhor the practice spiritually and morally be forced to fund it? Laws that protect snails, fish, birds eggs, animals, have harsh penalties, but we think killing babies is right EDITORIAL OPINIONS Dave Hill, Editor ~ e-mail: dhill@trftimes.com POLICIES LETTERS and sane? What have we come to as a nation? I’m thankful for those who put all they had into starting a business, and then reinvested, creating jobs for many others. The government only gets money from the taxed - about 50 percent of the population. If we tax the rich out, no one will be rich, and all will be poor. Look at the regimes and empires that have gone that way. I think there is far too much corruption. It can stop only when we look in the mirror, stop playing the game, bending the rules, using every loophole, no matter the cost to society. I ask again, fair, equal, choice, for who? Shirley Sorvig Red Lake Falls To the Editor: The Second Amendment was written to give the power to “We the People,” and we retain that power, not the government. The Second Amendment should not be equated with hunting or hunting regulations; nor should it be thought to apply to muskets. Tremendous advances in weaponry had already taken place, and it is not a stretch to believe that advances would continue. If you hold that it applies to muskets only, consider your First Amendment rights. Telephones, Internet, television and nearly every technology that exists today, didn’t exist when the First Amendment was written. Should we attack the First Amendment too? Expressing hurtful language, even protected language, can lead to depression, suicide, violence and death. Last time I checked, America was based on individual rights and personal freedoms, not one’s personal beliefs or collectivism. Let’s look at gun control, especially areas with the highest amount of gun control. California has twice the murder rate than most of the country. Chicago has the highest murder rate in the country, higher than even Afghanistan. The states of Illinois, California, New York, and New Jersey have some of the highest murder rates in the country … and the strictest gun control. Gun control only affects the law abiding citizens, the ones that actually contribute to society. Gun control doesn’t affect the criminals who cause the crime. Current represent opinion of other staff members. Opinions in items from other publications may not coincide with the editor’s own views but are offered for their general interest. kind of period where getting outside to play in the out-of-doors is not optimal. Snowmobiling trails are deteriorating and the lakes aren’t open yet. So, what to do? Not only is it a good time to prepare boats for water, but it’s a good time to check regulations. Watercraft owners should be aware that the Aquatic Invasive Species laws have changed from 2012. No one wants to see invasive species take over our lakes and waterways, or for that matter, get caught inadvertently carrying an aquatic invasive species from one lake or waterway to another, so check the regulations. In addition to caring about our waterways, it’s also important that we care about ourselves and the people who are in our boats. That said, make sure you have the required equipment, such as personal flotation devices, and the proper lighting, ventilation, flame arrestors, and whistles and horns. And, don’t forget to pick up your licenses. letters signed in print and will not withhold names of writers from publication. Responses Invited: Letters critical of individuals or other entities may be shown to those individuals or representatives of those entities in advance of publication with an invitation by newspaper staff for response in the same issue as the original letter.

We will attempt to correct the error or clarify the misunderstanding in the next issue. legislation only affects law abiding citizens. Where are the bills that target criminals? One bill that did target criminals was refused a hearing. Gun control groups said the bill would hurt communities of color by creating mandatory minimum sentences for gun possession by those who shouldn’t have them. So what do they want to do? If it was about saving lives, they’d target the real causes, not law abiding citizens. Dylan Bjorgaard Warren To the Editor: In the March 30 edition of the Northern Watch, Troy Johnson of Thief River Falls asked whether we want guns laying around school, and would five or more low lifes take his gun away from him and use it on him or others. Well, I guess we could say the same thing about law enforcement officials. Should we disarm them? Is he saying, teachers are irresponsible or incapable of being trained? The NRA provides excellent training. He also said, “two shells in a shotgun could be more than enough for home defense.” What if there were two armed intruders? I always thought the responsible thing might be to fire a warning shot, but I guess with only two shells, I’ll have to shoot to kill first and hope I don’t miss. Oh, and if there is a third, I guess I’m just out of luck. Then, he made a comment about those of us who wrap ourselves in the flag. I ask, what is so wrong with that? Personally, I’m proud to cling to my guns and religion.

Saturday, April 6, 2013 NORTHERN WATCH Page 7 Hungry for life My storage tank of column ideas was empty until last night. I had a good dream that made me think, which then made me write, which brings us to the business at hand. I had a friend die a few years ago. He was a good guy who was also a good farmer. The dream I had involved a scenario where an older farmer needed help putting in his crops. My deceased friend and I took on the task and were working on equipment in a shop next to a corn field. It was all so real that I can even remember the moist smell of fresh rain and the location of various puddles in the yard. At one point, we raced each other on foot to the house for dinner. I'm always hungry, even in my dreams, I'm always hungry. Here's the deal … I felt great when I woke up. I had a little different perspective on life and that's the story I want to share. I have been existing in stasis the last month. My mind is locked into the work of spring, but the weather has prevented my body from joining my mind. I hate this feeling, and it is almost like I have been tolerating life until it begins to mirror my expectations. I thought about my dream and how I was enjoying such simple things - planning work, executing the plan, being hungry and the motion of racing to dinner. There will be a time in all of our lives when those simple things will fade or Rural Reflections Grant Nelson The comments published in this column are intended to stimulate thinking and discussion among our readers.

This is the time to not wish for the things you want, but want the things that already exist. These are the memories that you must squirrel away for a time when memories may become tough to make. I crave the traditional beauty of spring, but maybe I can take some joy in the changing landscape as the piles of snow slowly lose height if not weight. Maybe I can enjoy the delicious expectation of the weather I know will soon arrive, like wanting to destroy Christmas wrapping as you burrow through cardboard to the gift. I like how the sunshine slowly changes my environment after which the changes are locked into place by the cold until the next spell of warm weather. This maybe isn't as dramatic as blooms or green grass, but it is interesting. This time of year is also great for bird-watching as word has really spread that we offer a decent sunflower buffet, so we have a lot of birds to see. My friend passed on some years ago and left a good life for many of us to model. Last night, I needed a kick in the pants to start enjoying life again and he gave me a good, gentle boot. The dream made me covet what I see instead of wishing for something else and showed me a path to be grateful for the fullness of what has already been given to me. The shade of want has been pulled from my eyes and I can see how good it is to live. Now I gotta run, I'm hungry again.
