Perspectives

Dear Local High School Teachers: 

Thank you, and I respect you, for educating your classes with my “The 5 Top Issues” presentation on damages ALL gold mines cause locally and beyond.

Sixty-six years ago, when I was one year old, my parents bought a small Marinette farmstead.  I have memories of a herd of dairy cows that continued to live in the wet pasture on the 40 for a while; they were really big and scared me.  On hot summer days, Dad would put me in the cow’s big oval water tank.  I was so small I had to hang on to the center reinforcement rod across the tank; I grasped it for dear life since I hated my feet touching the bottom of the tank, where tar patches over leaks felt icky.  T

The Menominee American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Unit 146 would like to take this time to reflect with the community on Memorial Day, and throughout the year, to remember those veterans who fought, and courageously gave of their lives while serving in America's Armed Forces.

I subscribe to a magazine called “The Chronicle of the Horse,” and the last issue I got had an article about equine vets that piqued my interest and has me educating myself. It was reinforced by another horse magazine, picked up in British Columbia by my delightful son-in-law, which also had a story about equine vets.  The reason equine vets are a topic of current interest is because there is a severe shortage of them.
