To the Editor, Three years ago, a violent mob, incited by then-President Trump and his allies in Congress, attacked the U.S. Capitol to try and stop the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history. Now, three years and four indictments later, Trump is running for president again in a desperate attempt to avoid… Read More

To the Editor, I am writing as a former resident of Frazee with strong family ties to the community. I am disheartened to learn about the discontinuation of Chief Tyler Trieglaff’s column, reportedly due to the decisions of two government officials.

Granted, we would all still get stockings, where the rule would be: If it don’t fit,… Read More

To the Editor, I don’t ever write to the editor on anything I read in the paper. But this one got to me.  My husband and I receive the paper every week and I often read online. The first thing I look for in the Forum…The Police Blotter. It’s sometimes very entertaining and I like to share… Read More

Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver A bit of autobiography here at the start: I grew up a stone’s throw from Hershey, Pennsylvania and my current full-time employment comes from Hershey’s Chocolate World in Times Square. Chocolate, its production, and its sales are all a major part of my identity. So I view media related to Roald… Read More
