To the editor, Imagine having to deal with a math class where the desks are falling apart, the projector doesn't work and you can barely read the textbook. All these equipment malfunctions prevent you from learning to your full potential, which is why schools try to prevent this...

The Rosemount High School boys hockey team would like to thank the community of Rosemount for making this year's Skate with the Irish night a huge success. A special thanks to Carbone's, Fogerty Prints, Muscle Milk, RAHA, Derek Stepan, Medi-Car Auto Repair, and numerous hockey...

On Wednesday Nov. 21, my husband and I brought our 4-year-old daughter to the Rosemount Hockey skate-with-the-team event. She is currently in the Learn to Skate classes at Rosemount Ice Arena but is very much a beginner. We were so super impressed when two members of the team (No....

Recently the Brownie Troop #55083 from Parkview School came to Claret Park and worked very hard cleaning up all the trash that had blown into the weeds around the pond. They collected many bags of yucky trash. These girls and their leaders did a fine job on a nasty cold day. Many...

To the editor, A torrent of money flowed into this election, exceeding $1 billion by most estimates, and fueled by the super-rich and corporate donors. It cast a very dark shadow. It inundated us with nasty, negative attack ads. It made a mockery of individual campaign donation...

To the editor, To the city of Rosemount residents: Thank you for allowing me to continue to serve you on city council.

To the editor, No matter what happens on Nov.6 regarding the marriage amendment, this election seems destined to create more divisiveness. I wish there was another way to deal with this marriage issue other than to have a constitutional amendment. Actually I think there is, but...

To the editor, My husband, Kurt Bills, is running for U.S. Senate. I don't want to bring up issues -- just challenge you. We've never been a political family or had aspirations to run for elected office. I'm a licensed, in-home child-care provider, and Kurt is an economics teacher....

To the editor, I write in strong support of judge Kathryn Messerich's re-election effort. Judge Messerich has been endorsed by six county attorneys in the First Judicial District because she is an outstanding judge who is clearly worthy of retaining her seat on the bench. I have...

To the editor, I'm a life-long bean-counter, working for more than 30 years with the small business-owners of this area. They're folks I have come to respect and admire.

To the editor,  Chris Gerlach resigned from his state Senate seat because he violated campaign finance laws by using taxpayer money to print partisan campaign literature in Senate offices. Now, he thinks he is qualified to be a Dakota County Commissioner? Gerlach is an ultra-partisan...

To the editor, I am a teacher at Rosemount High School and have lived in this community for over 30 years and I highly encourage you to vote for Greg Clausen for Minnesota Senate District 57, representing Apple Valley, Rosemount and Lakeville.  Having known Greg for 15 years, I...

To the editor, I recently attended the theatre production "Crimes of the Heart" at Rosemount High School. It was fun to laugh and have my focus held for almost two hours without a thought to the rest of the world. Being a teacher myself, I know the amount of time that goes into...

To the editor, I am writing in support of Jeff Wilfahrt for the State of Minnesota House Representatives seat from District 57B, representing Rosemount and eastern Apple Valley, and I urge readers to also support Jeff with their vote. This is a critical election. We have been...
