Editorial: Community gardens do good for many
A garden can be a wonderful thing. It is a way to get outside, to connect with the Earth, to bring more healthful foods into your day-to-day diet. It can also be much more than that, a fact that is becoming clearer all the time in Farmington and Rosemount.May 16, 2013

Editorial: Farmington citywide cleanup is a good community event
There was some concern in recent weeks about what our extended winter weather might mean for Farmington’s annual park and pond cleanup event. Would people sign up, knowing it was possible the trash they were meant to collect would be buried under snowdrifts? Would everyone need to bring their own shovel?May 02, 2013

Editorial: Innovation zone brings right kind of attention
The Farmington School District’s selection as an innovation zone is exciting. Probably. It’s hard to say too much about the designation at this point, because nobody seems sure exactly what it means.By Nathan Hansen , April 11, 2013

Editorial: Workshops move discussion out of public eye
The Farmington City Council approved a new set of goals Monday night. That’s a good thing. A city should have a plan for where it wants to go in the coming years. Listed among those goals is a desire to maintain good communication with residents. That is also good, but it doesn’t necessarily fit with the way council members developed their goals.April 04, 2013

Editorial: Merger means more news, not less local

Editorial: Plenty of good news in schools
Farmington got a lot of attention last week thanks to the actions of one high school hockey player. The reaction is not a big surprise. The video of Austin Krause’s abrupt departure from the ice Feb. 12 was striking, and for many it played neatly into an ongoing narrative about What’s Wrong With Kids Today.February 21, 2013

Editorial: Innovation is important in education
Innovation has been a big word since Jay Haugen took over as superintendent in the Farmington School District. Haugen talked early and often about the need to look at new ways of teaching students and -- maybe more important -- of helping them learn on their own.January 31, 2013

Editorial: Drug drop off is a good addition
Dakota County’s prescription-drug disposal program is coming to Farmington, and that’s a good thing. Home medicine cabinets have gotten increasing scrutiny in recent years as sources for recreational drugs. Kids take unused drugs from their parents. Adults steal from adults.January 24, 2013

Editorial: School-safety discussion is worthwhile
School security has been on a lot of parents’ minds since the shooting last month in Newtown, Conn. It makes sense. While schools are still among the safest places a child can be, a high-profile incident like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School is sure to make an impact.January 17, 2013
