The Bell

June 20, 2022 by Fillmore County Journal 1 Comment

The bell in the old wooden tower rings Whether happy or sad news that it sings To gather so many from far and near It tells of things we all need to hear Terror and violence is everywhere now The hate in the world seems to have taken a vow It doesn’t matter what sex, race, or creed The anger in many makes for horrible deeds Why can’t we live in a world without … [Read more...]

The Supreme Court’s evolution

June 13, 2022 by Lee Hamilton Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Lee Hamilton

Though U.S. standing in the world had taken a knock after the much-needed but chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, there was no question where the world’s democracies would turn for leadership in the Ukraine crisis. As much of Europe and Asia has found a new resolve on behalf of democratic values, in the time since the … [Read more...]

It does not hurt to get shot!

By Mary T. Reisner Fountain, Minn. This is what my 13-year-old told me when she got home from school.  She was still angry at her classmate who had said this.  She so wanted to punch him, but another classmate also heard this statement, grabbed her arms and held her back.  This happened in 1999 after the Columbine school shooting and two and half years after her father was … [Read more...]

May 30, 2022 by Fillmore County Journal 1 Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

Letter about Are our friends and neighbors liars?... To the Editor, That’s what the GOP would have us believe. By showing the movie “2000 Mules,” the JEM Theater and Jeremy Munson are saying the election workers in our communities cheated. They are saying your vote didn’t count. I am proud to be a Democrat and I believe that, like me, most Minnesotans consider our votes … [Read more...]
