Letter: Blood drive supporters make difference

Once again, the blood donors of the River Valley area generously answered the call to help others in need. On June 5th we collected 79 units of blood products. These donations can potentially save the lives of 237 people.

Letter: A lot of ‘stuff’

Kudos to Art Naedig and Dennis Dankerk for their assessment of the present situation and the plight of Democracy under "Sergeant Schultz” and his kabal of criminals and the trolls who follow him. I was going to write a similar letter, but it wasn’t my week to be able to be in the paper. Thank you, Art and Dan.

Letter: You can control your own actions

Art Naebig continues to try to get Dave Gorak to turn against the Trump atrocities. Reasons and facts about Trump do not work for the GOP and most cult members.

They continue to hide the Epstein files and ignore facts.

Letter: Names change, but purposes remain the same

If Kenny Rogers was still alive, the song lyrics of his old song could read, “Life was so much easier 60 years ago”.

As the events of every day unravel, I’m left wondering if the facets born of bare-naked simplicity did not produce the finest fruits on the vines of virtue.

The police body cam footage was finally released in the death of Henry Nowak. Like so many of you, I watched it.

As a human being, I shook my head. As a supporter of good police, I winced.

Nature and Society June 18, 2026

It doesn't sound difficult, but it is. I am referring to counting bats. I am a bat reporter for the Wisconsin Bat program and I am supposed to count them pre-volency or before the little bats are born, and again later, post-volency. This past weekend was the pre-volency count and I went out too early.

Letter: Either find or make a reason to celebrate

I recently read an article by pastor and author Phillip Gulley, “When You Don’t Feel Like Celebrating”. He writes of celebrating America’s 250th during the Trump administration. He begins by telling of a couple he knew who were approaching their 50th anniversary.
