The late Les Neustadter never needed official declarations for his 'take your kid to work' days.
Dave Bakken pulled and pushed on his oars, quietly guiding his wooden boat down the Chippewa River and beneath its steep banks, foot bridges and old brick-and-mortar buildings in downtown Eau Claire.

When folks around towns like Mellen, Hurley and Glidden sit in church these days, priests and pastors remind them not to let the proposed Gogebic Taconite mine divide their families and friendships.
Two newspaper articles slid into my email box a day apart early this month, complete with the senders' promises of doom and darkness for waterfowl hunting if we don't read and take heed.
