Paul E. Peterson, Abounding Joy Lutheran Church president, Sartell Our congregation, Abounding Joy Lutheran Church of Sartell, feels a need to point out some inaccuracies in your editorial of March 9, 2012. First, you printed Pastor Tom Wright’s “personal e-mail” addressed to your Publisher Janelle and an ad person, Tara, as a letter to the editor. It was a message
School district letter addresses community
Sartell-St. Stephen Community, The Sartell-St. Stephen School Board and Superintendent Dr. Joe Hill would like to publicly address our community on the topic of communication and transparency with respect to the district decision-making process. There has been contention regarding the decision made by the Board of Education with respect to our school-district calendar and the departure from a full-week spring
Shared beliefs on keeping receipts
Audrey Hale Alexandria Dennis Dalman, I shared your thoughts in your column about returning defective items – to always keep your receipts. Just wanted to add a few more irritating things even if only minor ones. 1. Upside down tape or backwards on a dispenser – not noticed until home. 2.

Letter to the editor: Good fight = constitution + conscience + justice
Kay Steiner, Sartell resident A good fight is when the constitution, the conscience and justice prevail.

‘Keep your trash’ says reader about Feb. 24 editorial about extremists
Benedict Supan, St. Stephen I don’t want this trashy editorial anywhere in my house – not even in the recycle bin. Women are not objecting!

Client pulls advertising in response to ‘Extremists should stop attacks against women’ editorial
Pastor Tom Wright Abounding Joy Lutheran Church After reading the “Our View” editorial in the Sartell Newsleader today (Feb. 24, 2012) I’ve decided to put on hold any further advertising by our church in the Newsleaders. I am a champion of our constitutional right of free speech. I believe all opinions must be heard in a healthy society. However, I
Reader chastises Newsleaders for publishing hate-filled letter
Christina Majaski Royalton I find it interesting that you would publish a hate-filled letter by Anna Robinson (Newsleader, March 2) but yet you say “inappropriate comments will be deleted.” I write for numerous online and print publications and am deeply offended to read something this ignorant in a publication where I actually live.

Anger, hate were appalling in ‘angry housewife’ letter to editor
Barb Nelson Sartell Minn It bothered me to read the comments from the Sartell “ticked off housewife.” The anger and hate she declared for those who don’t believe or think like her was appalling. Since I have moved about in this world, I know people with various beliefs. I have a fine female friend living in the Twin Cities area
