Wrecking Landmarks

Donald Trump is offering a massive public lands giveaway to the fossil fuel industry. He’s ordered the United States to “drill, baby, drill” on public lands, and he’s fast-tracked new oil and gas projects, bypassing environmental and public review. His allies in Congress are even pushing to open Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. If they get their way, the fossil fuel industry will wreck our national landmarks for profit and pump millions more tons of planet-warming pollution into the atmosphere in the process. So if we don’t want to see drilling rigs the next time we head ... 19 May 2025 by Staff Writer

Protect the Poor

I commend Nick LaLota and the other Republican members of the House of Representatives who held out against the “one big, beautiful bill” — but I would have a great deal more respect for them if they were holding out to protect those who need Medicaid and those who need Food Stamps. There are so many people out here who are in desperate need of help — just talk to the staff at any of the food pantries. Making the poor shoulder tax cuts for the most wealthy is the opposite of the kind of community and country that I ... by Staff Writer

VIEWPOINT: We Care for Everyone

By Adele Kristiansson Emergency Medical Services is like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates: You never know what you’re going to get. That’s what I like about it.

No matter who you are, or what your emergency needs may be, we’ll be by your side to assess your predicament and provide the best EMS help possible. Effective response requires understanding the dynamics of emergency care and bringing fundamental principles ... by By Adele Kristiansson
