Where Is The News In Newspaper?

There was an interesting letter to the editor in this week's Courier concerning the lack of news reporting. It seems the city liquor store was robbed a few months ago and nothing was printed about it.
That is pretty normal for our local newspaper. One would think since the courthouse is only across the street from the newspaper offices that readers would get news articles that are current, newsworthy and unbiased. Not so.
We figure that the Courier is forced to keep all current news off the printed pages to make sure there is enough room to print all of that useless gossip news. Do people actually read that stuff? Most newspapers quit that archaic printing about the time the telephone was invented didn't they?
There was an obscure mention buried in the city minutes regarding purchasing a better alarm system for the liquor store awhile back, but nothing about why the city needed it.....
The letter brought up some good points. Is news of this being kept quiet because the robbers are related to someone or was this not printed because the police don't want their records to show an unsolved case? Could it be that our "free press" is dependent on someone other than the editor to authorize what gets printed and what does not?

Town Hall Invitation

We would like to extend an open invitation to ALL Roberts County elected officials to step up and introduce yourselves please.
This is open to those who recently got elected to position, those who were named to one and those who have had the position awhile.

Please introduce yourself and tell us a little about you, your title or position, your intended changes or completed changes....what makes you "tick"?

We hope to hear from Tribal officials as well as County officials so we can get to know you a little better and maybe we can truly make this a united community , where we can all work together, with harmony at the forefront.

Sisseton Shooting

It makes great headlines to say there was a shooting in Sisseton, but the facts are that someone (not naming who) got upset by a fight near the skating pond on the west side and shot up in the air.

The police did their thing and arrested him and at this time there are no bodies......

Loose Animals Let Loose?

Does anyone know what exactly the city of Sisseton has for a loose animal policy?  I have seen city employees letting captured dogs out of a city pick-up to fend for themselves.  I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.  The city worker kept opening cages and letting the dogs out, one after another and another....

I'm sure the people who lived near where these dogs were released had some problems with strays that day.
