Editorial: Pet rescue training is a good addition
There are probably some people who will read this week's story on Rosemount firefighters training to perform CPR on cats and dogs and think it's silly. Mouth to mouth for a dog? Really? There are almost certainly others who will read the same story and wonder what took so long.March 05, 2010
Editorial: Middle school sports changes make sense
Budget cuts in a school district are rarely popular and cutting sports isn't likely to win many friends, but Independent School District 196 has taken a reasonable approach to adjusting its middle school sports offerings.February 26, 2010

Editorial: Welcome home, Red Bulls
There have been a number of happy homecomings in recent weeks in Rosemount.

Editorial: Vandalism’s cheap thrills can be expensive
It wasn’t exactly a quick act when someone took paint and their own sense of geography to one of Rosemount’s welcome signs late last year. It would have taken time to cover the city’s name so thoroughly, and it would have taken the foresight to bring enough black paint to do the job.

Editorial: Liquor store still hasn’t learned its lesson
When the Rosemount City Council approved its last penalty against Rosemount Liquor we argued in this space that they were right to push for harsher punishment than one recommended by an independent arbitrator. Now it seems even that penalty wasn’t stiff enough to present another violation.
