On today's Voices of Minnesota, we'll hear from newspaper editor and publisher Veda Ponikvar. On Minnesota's Iron Range, everybody knows the name Veda Ponikvar. She has been the editor of the Chisholm Free Press for nearly fifty years. She's also been involved in just about every democratic political campaign, and counted among her friends congressman John Blatnick from the 8th district and senators Hubert Humphrey, and Eugene McCarthy. She has watched the Iron Range towns boom and bust, and she has championed countless projects to try to keep the Range on its feet -- projects such as Iron World, the creation of the Bounday Waters Canoe Area, and, more recently, the Northwest Airlines Reservation Center in Chisholm.
