    Woster: Golden October is among us (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I know of few better places to appreciate fall than a college campus as the leaves turn. They flame in the slanting sun and float to the grass and the sidewalks, where they give out the most satisfying crunch under the shoes of passing students and visitors. September has faded, golden October is upon us. This is the part of autumn when I remember my days as a college student, especially at South Dakota State in Brookings, where the expansive campus green is crisscrossed with leaf-covered sidewa

    Woster: Legislative power used to switch back and forth (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    As South Dakota’s 1976 general election approached 50 years ago, I figured Republicans would pick up a few legislative seats. I didn’t expect them to win complete control of both the House and the Senate. Of course, I hadn’t expected Democrats to knock the GOP on its ear four years earlier, either. That was 1972, when the Democrats won the Senate by a single seat and split the House evenly, 35-35. Because the governor was a Democrat at the time, the 35-35 split gave Democrats the majority, on pa

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Fall arrived Tuesday, but it hit me a week ago Monday morning when I stepped from my northwest Minneapolis motel wearing shorts and a light sweatshirt. The day before, that had been more than acceptable attire. It was summer in the Cities then, sunny and with a late-summer-like temperature. Overnight came the change.

    Woster: The most filling medical advice came from Dr. Daniel Petereit (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I think the best medical advice Nancy and I have ever received came from the staff of a radiation oncologist in Rapid City. I’m not saying it was the most important advice in our long and sometimes difficult medical lives. I’m saying it was best because it was the most rewarding and enjoyable. I could say it was the most fulfilling, but what I would really mean is the most filling. The radiation oncologist is Dr. Daniel Petereit. He was raised in the Sioux Falls area and spent most of his medica

    Woster: When the second plane hit, we knew America was under attack (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Mornings sometimes started slowly for news reporters in Pierre when I worked for the paper. That’s how the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 started, until Joe Kafka from The Associated Press bureau across the hall flung open the door to my office. “You gotta see this,’’ he said. He stepped quickly back into his office and turned up the volume on the bureau’s television. We watched as thick, dark grey smoke billowed from an upper story of one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City
