Good men, and women, both protect the young daughters (and of course young sons) of their community, and for the most part Salem has done well in that. Locally home-grown sexual predators have been rendered appropriately by local justice, and the further proof of that is their addresses are …

What an adventure I had recently in Canada! I took my daughter Christy Lynn to Tinker Helseth’s place for a week of fishing in Lake of the Woods in mid-October. We drove all day, pulling my boat full of fishing gear, and got there about 11 p.m. I awakened the following day to a beautiful sun…
