Spring Drives - From My Window

Published Wednesday, March 22, 2023

I’ve done a lot of driving the last two weeks for various reasons.  I cope fairly well with winter road conditions, but spring road conditions are actually more unpleasant for me.

Sunday I had to make an unexpected 5 l/2 hour round trip to Minneapolis.  All the “joys” of spring driving were in play.

Get ready. Spring is on its way. Calendar says so! Official arrival in TIMESLand is scheduled for 4:24 p.m. on Monday, March 20.  Pack those snowshoes away, and get out your sunscreen. If Spring arrives, Summer cannot be far behind!

Or can it?
Maybe we shouldn’t pack away our gloves and snow shovels just yet.

About seven years ago, recently retired, I spent time helping a former coworker and casual friend who was seriously ill.  I took her to appointments in Tulsa, and picked her up after stays at a major hospital in Houston.

“Hoping To See One More Spring”
Where the rose once grew
The wind blows over
Cold and cruel from the north.

Americans are lucky to have Representative Gallagher leading the fight to stop the spread of China’s new world order. The newly formed House Select Committee on China – led by Wisconsin’s own, Rep. Gallagher – held its first hearing on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) threat to America recently. What was refreshing to see? Both Democrats and Republicans on the committee were concerned about the dangers of Chinese technology and CPP ideology.

I would like to take this time to send out a big thank you to Marinette Alderpersons Liz Mikutowski and Doug Oitzinger for helping to make the Red Arrow Park area a safer place.  Both of these city council members went out of their way to push for more lighting and signage in the area.

Lean forward, Town of Peshtigo Elections

I have lived in the Town of Peshtigo my entire life and there has never been an election more important than the one coming up on April 4th.  The town has been put into an awful situation with one of the worst ground -water contamination cases in the state of Wisconsin’s history. PFAS will be affecting the Town for many years to come.

Thank you for doing an excellent job of covering local issues and sports. Several subjects in the last couple paper editions should be of great concern to all county residents, voters and tax payers.  This county has some real issues. PFAS bio sludge is still being spread around the county on farm fields according to the article “Lake Noquebay Samples Low to No-Detect for PFAS”. I would not have suspected the lake to have any PFAS since the body of water has a dam and water flows out constantly.
