Grant provides program ‘Renewal’ To the Editor: It’s no secret that Kinship is a program built on relationships. This is true inside our program as we work to match our mentees with adult mentors. However, that is not where the relationship process ends.

Isn’t Minnesota great? To the Editor: On Feb. 1, the Sentinel proudly displayed front page headlines “Walz signs broad abortion rights bill.” So, now it is official, the democratic party is the party of abortion.
