  • Circular Thinking

    By Lu Schilling, member Sustain Door, Sister Bay,

    Featured on Wisconsin Public Television was a story about a Wisconsin paper mill, restricted by new EPA air quality requirements, which found more than a solution to reduce air pollutants. They are now making their own bio fuel with the very contaminants they harnessed. This story should be repeated as often as celebrity events. Formerly […]

  • Education: It’s really that important!

    By Tim and Susan Moore, Sturgeon Bay,

    Our society chooses to spend money on the education of our children because we believe that education will determine the future success of our country, state, county or town. In fact, it’s so important that prior to moving into a new community, we first look at the schools to determine which is the “best” for […]

  • Neglecting Consumers

    By Ed Miller, Baileys Harbor,

    I’d like to comment on an article in the March 7 to 21, 2008 Peninsula Pulse, “Guerrilla Gardening: Engi-Nearing.” The question is asked “Why is it that as American consumers we are forced to settle for inferior products?…Where did the pride in an honest profit from an honest product disappear?” The answer is when we […]

  • Who Really Decides, Washington or the People?

    By Fish Creek Voter, Fish Creek,

    Am I the only person that felt as though my vote didn’t matter in this primary?

As for the Republicans, lets just say that unless one is a strict Baptist, you really only have […]

  • YMCA a Cornerstone of Door County

    By Joe Stutting, Sturgeon Bay,

    I believe the YMCA is one of the cornerstones of Door County. The YMCA provides opportunities for everyone in the community. It is at the Y where our children learn to swim, play sports, and be fit. The Y provides for family entertainment and education. As adults, we not only use the YMCA to stay […]

  • Pick it Up ? Here In The Sticks ?

    By Lu Schilling, Sister Bay,

    Remember Woodsy the owl that said “Give a hoot, don’t pollute?” In Sister Bay some people who have dogs seem to hold a belief that canine droppings, small as well as large, are in some way not harmful to our health and environment. After all, they rationalize the foxes and raccoons do it; and way […]

  • Notes From the West Wingnut

    By Donald Freix, Fish Creek,

    NOTES FROM THE WEST WINGNUT State Assembly Representative Garey Bies seems to be at it again. Broadcast on WDOR (Jan 22), Mr Bies informed listeners of the new legislation he is sponsoring to require the display of PINK license plates, to be issued to drivers convicted of driving while intoxicated. The convicted party would be […]
