Dale Kovar recounts his 50-year career working at Minnesota weekly newspapers, weaving together reprints of original news articles, interesting feature stories, pointed opinion columns, and colorful anecdotes.

Showcasing his best writing in a variety of styles and spanning numerous topics, Kovar covers his ups and downs in the news industry with notes of lessons learned and personal ties to people and places.

A fierce advocate for free speech, Kovar holds nothing back in criticizing the big media and government for their shortcomings. Throughout, his strong Christian faith is on display.

From the top of a water tower to an upside down gymnast; from a day in kindergarten to a state political convention; from a six-overtime basketball game to an April Fool's front page; from getting burned by a phony letter to the editor to an actual office fire.

It's funny. It's sad. It's controversial. All the best stories are here.
