Minnesota Book Awards

By Jessica Fox-Wilson , Uptown Neighborhood News

Writers are often romanticized, from the inspired poet scribbling an ode to the harried novelist composing an opus. The reality of writing, however, is something else entirely. Most of the time, writers compose manuscripts in solitude, with no guarantee that anyone will ever read the end result. Often, writers believe that publication represents the end of this anonymity. Once a book is published, it’s out in the world, destined to be read by adoring masses. Considering the sheer number of books published annually, writers may need to rise above to get their books into a reader’s hands. Enter the Minnesota Book Awards, an annual contest sponsored by The Friends of the St. Paul Public Library. This year’s nomination process opened in September and remains open until December 14, 2007. MORE »

Advise and Dissent: Sparkle Jones

By Twin Cities teens , ThreeSixty

What would you like to tell president-elect Barack Obama? Advise and Dissent features opinions on what the new president should be thinking and doing. This opinion came from Your Turn — Teens advise the next president on what youth need.

Abortion: I believe taking away a woman’s right to abortion is taking away her freedom. There are diverse reasons why abortion is the best option. There may be rape; few people want a reminder of a traumatic event. There may also be financial issues; many women just can’t afford children. Additionally, women with weak emotional states frequently turn to alcohol and drugs and this dependency leads to abuse and/or neglect of her kids … If a woman makes this call, or wants the option to make this call, why do people pass judgment? Hard decisions are based on beliefs and if you make a decision based on what you believe, then everyone should both accept and respect your decision. — Sparkle Jones, 17, Humboldt High School MORE »

THEATER | Soap opera star returns home to Osseo to pull off a Christmas "Miracle"

By Jean Gabler , TC Daily Planet

Yellow Tree Theatre is a professional theater created in a space vacated by an Osseo furniture store. The stage was created by dropping black curtains and building risers on three sides for a small audience. Two months ago, with rehearsals set to begin, they suddenly lost the rights to their holiday show: Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol. Three weeks later, playwright Jessica Lind, a co-founder of the company, had written Miracle on Christmas Lake and they were back in business. MORE »
