Column: Spring cleaning for geeks 
During one of the unseasonably warm weekends this winter, I scrubbed the carpets and polished all of the woodwork, so this year I decided to skip spring cleaning. That is, until a slight malfunction with one of my electronic gadgets spent me spinning unwillingly into a spring cleaning frenzy.

Education has been on a quest to create schools where every student is successful, meeting and exceeding the standards, while achieving their highest aspiration. While this is a noble goal it is complicated by today’s student who comes to school with widely different sets of knowledge, skills, talents, strengths, motivations and support.

Guest opinion: Another horrible season
What exactly do the Minnesota Wild have to do to put more tallies in the win column? This past off season they acquired star forwards Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi from the San Jose Sharks, which was quite a bold move for the Wild — usually, new names on the ice are those “developing players” from the Houston Aeros. Why has this year been another horrible season for scoring goals?

Column: A serious poster-related problem
I have something of a poster problem.
I’ll admit, as problems go, this falls somewhere on the low end of the scale. It’s not a serious illness. It’s not a family tragedy. It’s not even as bad as being strapped into one of those Clockwork Orange machines and forced to watch reruns of Mike and Molly.

Column: My first home, be it ever so humble
I remember, years and years ago already, sitting through a Farmington City Council meeting (one of probably thousands) and watching the presentation for a new townhome development. I looked at the layout of the development. More importantly, I heard the price range and I thought, “Hey, that’s the one I’m going to buy.”

Student column: It is very important to stay positive
The media tells us the world is going to end, we're not good enough and everyone is crazy. What ever happened to optimism? The whole, “The world is your oyster,” philosophy?

Column: Preparing for a bicycle adventure
I’ve spent a lot of time in recent years riding my bike. Maybe you know that already. I tend to mention it a lot in this space because, well, I don’t have a whole lot of interesting stuff going on.

Student column: Freedom comes with a cost
From the age of 2 through the age of 18, we reach for more independence. Whether that means learning to walk on our own, or to going off to college to live on our own, independence is what we seek.

Column: Mary has given up complaining
After our sultry weekend, it feels like summer has already arrived in full force. Yet Easter is just around the corner. Even though I’m looking forward to the chocolate bunnies and hard boiled eggs, I always feel a little sad bidding Lent farewell.

Column: It’s a learning process
Nearly everything I know about working on bicycles, which is admittedly not a lot, I learned by pulling apart bikes I didn't need anymore and hoping I could put them back together in some form that still allowed them to function. Or at least function well enough that I wouldn’t get hurt if I rode it.

Editorial: Technology brings opportunities, challenges
Even if the Farmington School District does not move forward with plans to buy iPads for every student -- and it seems increasingly likely that it will -- there is no denying that new technologies are changing the way students learn in Farmington schools.
