Letters: Fair judges should lighten up 
Surprised to find so many categories of photo entries in this year’s Dakota County Fair art show with no blue ribbon winners, I was told by a couple of the helpers in the art building that, “if the judge doesn’t feel any of the entries are worthy of a blue ribbon, he doesn’t have to reward any.” I was taken aback by this explanation and replied, “This is a simple county fair, not a professional art show.”

Letter: Where was truth about sirens?
I first want to say how wonderful the residents of Farmington have been during these tumultuous times. Everyone is out lending a hand with community cleanup to get this wonderful city back to its beautiful state.

Letter: Quist is the right choice to replace Pariseau
Steve Quist of Farmington is running for the state Senate in District 36, which includes Farmington. He is the DFL-endorsed candidate, but I think he will appeal to Independents and Republicans as well. Sen. Pat Pariseau, our District 36 Senator, has retired, meaning we should all look carefully at the two candidates running for her seat.

Thank you: FHS principal went above and beyond
I would like to acknowledge principal Ben Kusch for his follow through and commitment to the kids, parents and families of District 192. Last week a car crashed into one of the school buses that was transporting Farmington students home after school. One of the students on that bus was our ninth grade son Drew.

Letter: The audacity of Obama
The arrogance of President Obama to mock the governed as they peaceably protested on April 15, 2010 is self incriminating.

Letter: Check math on arena claim
This is in response to Don J. in the Mini Rants column from April 15.
Don, said you could have built a sportsplex with two sheets of ice and a pool for the same money it is going to cost to refurbish a 35-year-old ice arena. I think you are about $25 million off.

The Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce, your chamber of commerce, is pleased to host five State of the City events every March in Dakota County. These events are part of our regular programming for business and are not city (of Farmington) or community events. In fact, we host a regular Farmington Business Council Breakfast every month the fourth Thursday of the month, at 8 a.m. at the Farmington Eagles.

Letter: Organ donation is a gift that can change many lives
About nine months ago, I never thought I would be standing on my soapbox and using the words “organ,” “tissue,” “donor” and “my mom” in a complete sentence. But last summer that changed. My mom, Corrine Stein, became an organ and tissue donor.
