In recognition of the severity of the crimes associated with domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. The current reauthorization expires on September 30th and is now up for consideration in Congress. VAWA has […]

In June I wrote a letter to the Pulse decrying the policy of our government in separating children from their moms and dads at our Southern border. Apparently a federal judge agreed with me requiring reunification of families and an end to separation. Though many families have been reunited, the problem remains that there are […]

We applaud the 163 local businesses and individuals who generously donated to the recent Grand Scandia Golf Benefit. All funds raised profoundly impact the lives of the 171 residents who call Good Samaritan Society-Scandia Village home. We are blessed to have the opportunity to serve those who reside at the Senior Living Community and fortunate […]

Let’s put aside the popularity polls and commentaries that focus on a candidate’s appearance and money to consider who is likely to accomplish what the people of Wisconsin need most: reliable health care for all, a livable environment, a sound economy, fine public schools, affordable post-secondary education, common sense gun control, programs to prevent discrimination […]

As a survivor of violent crime, I’d like to express my sincere thanks to area Representative Andre Jacque for supporting Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin and taking the Stand With Crime Victims Pledge. His support means the world to survivors like me, and all of those who have joined the fight to better Wisconsin’s communities. In […]

Bob Loss’s recent letter in the Pulse is nothing short of a hateful witch hunt against the women on Sturgeon Bay’s city council. He has been known to stir the pot of controversy in Sturgeon Bay political matters for a while now and continues to display a deep-seated hatred against these women. The other person […]

Out-of-state interests are pouring money into the upcoming fall election in an attempt to unseat our Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin. These interest groups don’t vote in Wisconsin, and they will not be represented by the eventual winner of that election. You do and you will be. You may have noticed some large blue and red […]

In response to Mr. Jackson Parr’s “Commentary: Taxation Without  Representation” (20 July, 2018) our organization is very familiar with the refrain and have dealt with it off and on for almost 25 years. We agree, of course, with the one-man-one-vote rule of law as it applies to elected officials but we do see room for […]

These are certainly interesting times for news events with an update last night on the world news about President Trump deciding to subsidize farmers to help with more than $11 billion lost due to the tariffs he imposed and the resulting trade wars in the world economy. This is becoming an interesting pattern of our […]

I am a local resident and use our Fish Creek Town Park just about every other day. I walk my dog, hike along the creek to see what is new and take my bike through often. I had noticed that since mid-spring there were a lot of bushes along the way that were dangling in […]

Regularly we get reports of children being locked unattended in cars that are out in the hot sun with sad consequences. It is inconceivable that after all the warnings adults continue this dangerous practice. Although unrelated I get the feeling that the adults involved are about as mindless as those that stand behind President Trump […]
