Letter to the Editor: Bottom-up Economic Development
Hillary Clinton is now campaigning actively and one of her themes is bottom-up development. She refers to helping the poor, to racial equality, all subjects that deserve discussion. But why can’t the Democrats broaden this theme to show how this would help all of us and bring everyone into this discussion? For example, if a […]

Letter to the Editor: Respect My Limitations
Volunteering is a win-win, as we all know, but just a word to those who coordinate the volunteers. When a volunteer tells you the limits regarding the time they are able and willing to donate, please respect that. I’ve been doing some volunteer work for what I feel is a very worthy cause, here in […]

Letter to the Editor: Treat Everything with Respect and Care
This letter is intended for the woman walking down Beach Road on a lovely summer afternoon, enjoying the scenery, the beauty of our county, along with her dog. This letter is for that same woman who totally ignored said dog depositing a large pile on my lawn, and who then continued on down Mossy Cliff […]

Letter to the Editor: Recall Petition is Misleading
The Sevastopol School Board recall petition is misleading on two main points. First is the purpose of a recall. The recall petition is clearly a response to the non-extension of an administrative contract. Unfortunately, the recall petition is being used as an expensive tool to punish school board members for making this difficult decision. An […]

Letter to the Editor: Regarding the Spray of Liquid Manure in Kewaunee County
The citizens of Kewaunee County have been experiencing the fears and controversy of the proposed use of airborne manure spray irrigation dispersal systems for animal waste for the past few years. Recently, the interest was rekindled when citizens heard that Pagels Ponderosa Dairy CAFO was permitted to use such a system by the Wisconsin […]

Letter to the Editor: Who Is Ron Johnson?
For those that don’t follow politics, he’s one of two United States Senators that represents Wisconsin in Washington D.C. Senator Johnson is serving in his first term. Johnson beat Russ Feingold. Feingold held the office for 18 years. He had his time, and what did he do in those three six-year terms? His one defining […]

Letter to the Editor: Ashamed of Our Weakness
Other developed countries are similar to ours regarding mental health statistics. Their movie and video game cultures, etc., are comparable, but, unlike us, they have managed to control gun violence. Our gun deaths on a per capita basis are six times that of Canada, 43 times that of England, 23 times that of Australia and […]

Letter to the Editor: Well Done, Sister Bay!
I recently spent an enjoyable spring evening in Sister Bay, it’s the first time I have seen it “completed.” I wanted to take a moment to compliment the past and present members of the village board, the committees, and the village administrators who worked on both the vision and execution of this redevelopment of the […]

Letter to the Editor: Killing Civilians More Efficiently
During one of his political sideshows, Donald Trump was asked how he would handle our perceived enemies in the Middle East. His reply, “I would bomb the s— out of them.” His diplomatic speak naturally brought screams of approval from the Republican lemmings surrounding him. America’s wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya have […]

Letter to the Editor: The Party of Lincoln
After viewing Meet the Press June 5, it’s quite clear the Republican Party is lacking integrity and conscience. Mitch McConnell stated that it’s all about winning. He reminded me of Al Davis, the late owner of the Oakland Raiders (“Just win, baby”) – the bullies of the AFC. Now the Republican Party has theirs. Not […]

Letter to the Editor: Transition to Renewables
Things are changing in developing a clean energy future. While many are in dismay over the effects of global warming such as crop failures, massive migrations from weather changes, the rise of climate sensitive disease, etc., there are signs of corporations and political entities making the transitions to clean energy. Pope Francis has added a […]

Letter to the Editor: Before Parking, Please Ask
Back in March of 2014, The Holiday Music Motel purchased the old Portside building that encompasses the lot between 1st and 2nd Avenues bordered by Louisiana on one side and The Holiday on the other. When the parking lot across the street at Stone Harbor fills up, the natural inclination has been for people to […]
