How sad is it that teenage girls have to get pregnant to feel loved? Some people would say the 17 teenage girls who allegedly made a pact to all get pregnant, could’ve been prevented with better sex education or the availability of birth control. Um, these girls seem to know enough about sex and they obviously didn’t want to use birth control since the whole objective was to get pregnant in the first place.

Kurt Dahlin has made a special request to the public that they answer the question that was posed quite some time ago online by the newspaper (see below):
Where to put the new fire hall? Public input wanted
On Feb. 26, the Enterprise Dispatch posted a question on its web site Community Forum: Enterprise Dispatch:
˜A new fire hall is needed in Cokato. Where should it go?” Since that time there has been only one reply posted and it was also a question. But it is exactly the right question. Date of Forum reply March 3: ˜Why do we need a new fire hall?”
On June 20 from 4 to 8 p.m., we would appreciate the opportunity to answer that question. So, as long as you are out at the Cokato Chamber of Commerce pork chop dinner at Cokato Elementary and the ice cream social at Stockholm Lutheran Church, please take a few minutes to stop by our informational open house and speak directly with the fire department and ambulance personnel.
Take this time to ask questions, look around the station and let us introduce you to our ideas to move forward and serve you better. We proudly serve Cokato Township, Stockholm Township, part of French Lake Township and the City of Cokato. Moving forward to serve you better.

If anyone remembers the puppy tossing video in which two marines were in question for, it is in the news again. Apparently, disciplinary action is being taken against them including one who is being expelled. I’m glad such action was taken since this is no way we want our soldiers to behave or be portrayed. I know Iraq must get boring at times, but can we find another way to have fun that doesn’t include killing innocent animals?
