Letter: Braveheart Rescue needs another chance
I was at our local Walmart store tonight and after hearing some disturbing news, I felt that I had to write one more letter to the editor. I am still so very disturbed about the news of Braveheart Rescue being forced to close.

Letter: Same-sex marriage attempts to ‘redefine what constitutes acceptable behavior’
Same-sex marriage is another step in the deconstruction of the traditional Judeo-Christian definition of family, which has made America the greatest nation on earth. However: all cultures, not only Judeo-Christian cultures, have defined marriage as between a man and woman.

Letter: It’s time for the city to relax a little bit
I spend time watching the City Council meetings and get so frustrated doing so. So many times when a citizen comes before the planning commission and then the city council for approval on site plans, a variance or any other item that needs approval they refer to Burnsville does it this way or Apple Valley does it this way or Woodbury does it this way.

A group of Hastings High School students and former students staged a protest in front of a business that accepts donations of clothing, books, furniture and may other things and then this business makes sure everything is clean and presentable and affordable to people at a discount.

Letter: Teacher’s dedication is ‘greatly appreciated’
My daughter graduated from kindergarten today. Last September, my little girl left for her first day of kindergarten. She was scared and nervous, but very excited. It would be a school year of many firsts, starting with her anxiously awaiting for the arrival of the new bus ride. Many of the year’s firsts will hopefully last a lifetime, like some of the friends, and many of the memories.

Letter: Braveheart Rescue needs to be saved
After reading the article about the closing of Bravehart Rescue by Marshan township, I felt that I had to write the paper about my feelings on this matter. I am hoping that many other people step up and make the people who made this decision take another look at what this means not only to the people involved, but to the innocent animals they are condemning. The truth is that some, if not many of these animals, could be put to death because of their selfish and heartless decisions.

Letter: Town board should reconsider decision
I recently adopted a dog from Braveheart Rescue in Hastings, so I was saddened to see news of its upcoming closure. People may not realize it, but the old standby for adopting unwanted animals — the local humane societies — have run into really hard times and no longer have the ability to offer many pets for adoption.

Letter: Dogs at Braveheart need to be saved
More than six months ago I went before the Marshan Township board and quietly asked them to bring some accountability to the out-of-control shelter known as Braveheart Rescue, Inc. My intent was to avoid the very situation that now looms over that shelter.
