Red Cross seeking more blood donors

There aren’t enough people giving blood through the American Red Cross. In fact, for the past four years, new blood donors have declined by about 80,000 each year. In an effort to reverse that trend, we’ve launched the Missing Types campaign.
To raise awareness for the need for blood donors, businesses, organizations and individuals across the country are joining the Missing Types movement by removing the A’s, B’s and O’s, the main blood groups, from signage, websites and public-facing platforms. The goal of Missing Types is to get people to take notice and take action by donating blood.

 Celebrating the Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is about the patriots who risked everything to establish a new nation based on life, liberty and equality. And on this anniversary of our nation’s independence, there’s no better time to honor those who continue to defend and serve this great country.

Silent protest from a tree stump perch

I was sitting alone in my lawn chair on my tree stump as the Glencoe Days parade passed a half a block away. It was my silent protest of the city’s latest efforts to beautify my area by sending in a bunch of lumberjacks to “clear cut” the nearby neighborhood trees.
To those who have never heard of clear cutting, just head to northern Minnesota’s logging country and you will find areas in the forests that have nary a tree standing. That, folks, is a clear cut.

July 4th is a time to celebrate

On July 4, 1776, 242 years ago, our founding fathers laid out a plan for a new nation, free from the contraints of a monarchy. A nation that was to be a democracy. The Declaration of Independence declared the orginal 13 colonies soveriegn states, taking the first steps at the formation of The United States of America.
Much has happened in the last 242 years and many times we forget the importance of the declaration of independence. There still many places in the world that don’t experience the freedoms that are easy to take for granted.
