Farewell to Voices for the Land
Voices for the Land encouraged Minnesotans to write about the land they love, defend its existence, fight for its preservation or just eulogize their favorite place. For the past year we have featured one essay and one photograph weekly in Sunday's Variety section, 54 essays in all, from every corner of the state. Howard Schaaps contributed a moving essay from Buffalo Ridge in the southwest, while Joanne Hart described one of the state's most beautiful rivers, the Pigeon River in northeastern Minnesota. We have visited the 20-by 30-foot backyard of Margaret Miles in south Minneapolis, and sat with 12-year-old Thuy Nguyen on the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Paul. We have walked with Jeri Niedenfuer on the dirt roads of the Cuyuna Iron Range, seeking what urbanized bodies and souls crave: nature left alone, untended and undisturbed.

Photographer's perspective: Life with the Simons
She jumped up on the hospital bed with a familiar confidence, shiny patent leather shoes with white tights, under a knee-high dress. Her mischievous giggle and sweet smile took me by surprise. I was expecting a sickly child. It was hard to believe this little girl with the big brown eyes was fighting for her life.
