July 1, 2025 Your Advocacy Connection We Solve Long-Term Care Problems By Jamie Long GolderCare Solutions The Passionate Patient Advocate “We must be just in allocating limited resources.” “We want to treat all patients equally.” “We have to think about what’s fair to everyone.” These are the kinds of statements family caregivers hear every day – sometimes from hospital case managers, sometimes from insurance gatekeepers, and often from institutions trying to explain why something can’t be done.

Shout out to road crews for letting us enjoy winter
To the Editor: I am writing to thank the Morristown and Stowe road crews. My little family so enjoys winter, and we could not do it without the remarkable, hard work of the road crews. This winter feels like the winters of my childhood in Lamoille County, and when I hear and feel the plows rumbling by at 4:30 in the morning I smile and feel so grateful for the road crews and the snow.

Ottawa Senators set sights on new owner, arena — 100 years ago | CBC News
As Ottawa Senators fans anxiously await the announcement of the team's new owner, CBC decided to dig into the archives and found a strikingly similar situation in the nation's capital a century ago. In 1923, the Ottawa Senators came under new ownership and changed arenas, which somewhat reflects the climate of the modern-day franchise. There are similarities between the two franchises playing one century apart, but as one would expect, there were very different processes.

OPINION EXCHANGE | Session failure makes case for full-time Legislature
Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Miller, R-Winona, and his GOP caucus have walked away from a special session, leaving negotiations unfinished on billions in investments in important priorities for Minnesotans, like education, affordable child care and infrastructure.

By any measure, it was not a fair or democratic process.
