When I was six years old, I fell and hit my chin on the edge of a wooden toy chest. It took 19 stitches to put me back together. Last week, my daughter, who is six, fell out of a tree and smacked her chin on a wooden platform on the way down.

To the editor, On behalf of Sauk Prairie Healthcare Foundation, I would like to express our deep gratitude to the community. In early April, we asked you for help, so that the hospital could purchase the supplies and equipment  needed to care for patients impacted by COVID-19. And community members responded with an outpouring of generosity.

Sauk Prairie Healthcare thanks community for its work to fight COVID-19   Dear Editor,

Secrets and Lies   Those seeking intelligent spy novels infused with both drama and humor should give one of Kate Atkinson’s recent novels a try.  “Transcription” was published in 2018 and is set in London in the mid-1900s.  Like many of the author’s other works, it combines history with intrigue and drama.

Dear editor:  

Bending reality   “Recursion” is a novel by Blake Crouch that kept popping up on my radar since its publication last year.  I joined the many readers who enjoyed his thrilling bestseller “Dark Matter” in 2016 and looked forward to reading more of his work.

Just over the horizon  

Imagine watching a nature documentary in which a lion is pursuing a gazelle.
