In my humble opinion - by Deb Bently
A representative from Junior Achievement, Vanessa Jensen, came as a speaker to last week’s meeting of the Waseca Exchange Club. Either in this edition or in one to come, you will find an article that summarizes her full presentation, but in this column I feel inspired to talk about a term she...
When my computer boots up, some ghost in the machine–I believe I’m referring to Microsoft–delivers a screen-sized photo which is usually striking both for its beauty and for some exotic quality. Sometimes it features land, sometimes water. On occasion I am greeted by man-made accomplishments,...
I’ve mentioned more than once, I believe, how much I enjoy roller coaster rides, and how I travel to Six Flags Great America in Illinois because my sister-in-law lives near that park and we enjoy riding together.
These past few weeks, however, have let me know there are plenty of “roller...
It had been awhile since I had gone ice fishing. And truth be told, I wasn’t truly “fishing” when I stepped into the portable fish house last weekend: My motive was to get some pictures–see how well I could record the surreal circumstance of standing in the dark and looking down into the brighter...

It’s one thing to understand something academically, and quite another to watch it happen in front of you.
Thanks to an astronomy class taken during my (long-ago) college days, I knew “aurora borealis” means “lights of the north,” and that they result when above-typical solar activity ejects...
I went to the Orpheum Theater in the Cities this past week to see Shen Yun, a show which features dance and music styles from China. During the show, the emcees informed us the tumbling and acrobatic acts usually associated with the circus actually originated as part of Chinese music performances...
I interviewed three greenhouse owners for stories in this week’s edition of the Pioneer. I learned a lot–and I deeply enjoyed the chance to visit warm, sunny spaces filled with plants and flowers.
I also got a refresher course about not making assumptions.
When I set out to arrange interviews...
