  • Letter to the Editor: Billboards – Door County’s Next ‘Invasive Species’

    By ,

    It is a constant challenge to balance the natural beauty and scenery of Door County with the fun family activities, shopping, eating, etc. Everybody is here to enjoy both and a great job has been done establishing a variety of things to do and see. We need to constantly evaluate this balance and make smart […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Kitchens is Right Choice for Assembly

    By ,

    As a person that values our natural resources, I especially understand the vulnerability of the Door Peninsula. I know how important the water resources are to the local economy and to the health of the citizens. Currently, I chair the Committee on Natural Resources and Energy in the State Senate. I have built a strong […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Shelve the Enhance Egg Harbor Project

    By ,

    Dear Village Trustees: According to news reports the justification for Enhance Egg Harbor expenditures is that slowing traffic will increase the possibility that visitors will stop and shop in the Village. I drive through the Village several times a day to get from my Village to my home or Main Street Market. Traffic and pedestrian […]

  • Letter to the Editor: First-Time Voter for Mike Gallagher

    By ,

    As a first-time voter, I feel fully confident in casting my vote for Mike Gallagher for congress. Marine veteran Mike Gallagher served for seven years active duty and held multiple positions in the intelligence and national security communities. He currently works in the private sector for an energy and supply chain management small business. This […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Kewaunee Citizens, Thanks for Your Continued Fight

    By ,

    Now that things have started to move concerning Kewaunee County’s water contamination, there are many standing up to take recognition for their part in addressing the health and water crisis here. It is important that people realize that many of the changes to address the contamination in our region of northeast Wisconsin have come about […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Where Is the Outrage?

    By ,

    It is not often that cowardly racism rears its ugly head in northern Door County. It is even more rare to apprehend the perpetrators of such disgusting actions. But such an incident has just occurred here. I am speaking of the disgusting hate crime, racial graffiti, recently bestowed by a young couple and their pink […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Thanks for Walking the Walk

    By ,

    On behalf of myself, the Neighbor to Neighbor board of directors, volunteers, and those we serve, I would like to thank St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and their Outreach Team: Angela Brickner, Crystal Brunette, Bob Hanson, Linda & Alan Kintopf, Bev Luethge, Carol Newman, Jean Tice, Linda Virgin, and Karen Bellin and the Neighbor to Neighbor […]

  • Letter to the Editor: ‘It Stinks…’ What Do You Think? What You Can Do.

    By ,

    What’s your take on the amount of money spent in politics to influence your vote? How do you feel about the amount of money candidates must raise to get elected? In a recent news article (Advocate 8-13-16), the new 8th District Republican Congressional nominee Mike Gallagher said, “It stinks that you have to raise so […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Get the Vote of All Taxpayers

    By ,

      Dear Mr. Heise and Board of Trustees, I write you as one of five partners in my family’s Egg Harbor Property Partnership. The Egan family has paid property taxes to the village for more than a half-century; Egg Harbor has been our summer residence for an additional decade. I am dismayed that, yet again, […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Stand Up for Environmental Justice

    By ,

    Mr. [Donald] Freix writes the truth [in the Aug. 26, 2016 letter “The Kitchens File: Environmental Disaster”] and what a dangerous truth it is! Representative Kitchens is truly a representative of the dismal failed reality of the Walker Administration. Rep. Kitchens follows Governor Walker’s party agenda in a “lockstep” manner without any apparent concern for […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Volunteers Give 600 Kids Great Start at School

    By ,

    The Altrusa Foundation of Door County provided more than 600 children with registration fees and class-specific school supplies, toiletries and clothing (school spirit tee-shirts, underwear, socks and shoes) at the 18th Annual Altrusa Back-to-School Fair on Aug. 13 held at the Sturgeon Bay High School. Altrusa thanks all the volunteers who made this day possible: […]

  • Letter to the Editor: Good Samaritans Abound in Door County

    By ,

    Since the winter of 1992, when a meter reader from Wisconsin Public Service called us in St. Louis to say he was at our recently purchased house on Kangaroo Lake and noticed that the electricity had been used and was checking to make sure we were aware someone had been there, we’ve known that Door […]

  • The Kitchens File: Environmental Disaster

    On Wednesday, August 3, Lynn Utesch, Kewaunee County candidate for Wisconsin’s 1st Assembly District, traveled to Ashland, WI to testify before the Natural Resources Board on behalf of every citizen in our district, speaking to the present and persistent public health emergency regarding contaminated water in Kewaunee County. July 28, 2016 marked the 5th anniversary […]

  • Olympic Lessons

    By ,

    With the end of the Olympic Games, for those of us that have watched, it was quite exciting and amazing. Young people from around the world competing to be the best in their respective fields and trying their hardest. These past months we have heard over and over how our country is not great and […]

  • A County-Wide Request to All Eligible Voters

    By ,

    With a very controversial election coming in November all polling locations are expecting to be very busy. Most poll workers are there from 6:30 am until ballots are tallied, sometime after 8:30 pm. In a Presidential year they may be there as late as 9:30 or 10 pm. That is a long day. What adds […]

  • Trump’s Cleanup Crew

    By ,

    I recall 4th of July parades in Door County where teams of horses are pulling wagons and because marching bands followed the horses it was necessary for people with shovels to clean up what the horses left behind. That scenario is much like the Trump campaign where people need to follow him and clean up […]

  • To the Rescue

    By ,

    The weekend before last, I came up to the Door for a bit of camping along with my sister-in-law, Elinor. It was a short visit: one day of travel, one day of fun, and one day to return home. The first evening after the tents were set, we walked The Ridges Sanctuary. We walked the […]
