Many New Glarus visitors this weekend will be enjoying the Wilhelm Tell Play. Edwin Barlow was the founder and director of the play. Barlow enlisted local residents to present a Wilhelm Tell pageant, in German, on Labor Day in 1938.

Letter to the Editor

<strong>Help Stop Lupus</strong>
Dear Editor,
Twenty-six years ago, ahhhh. This was an amazing time in my life! I WAS PREGNANT! After they told me I probably couldn’t have children. During my pregnancy (5 months), I developed this insanely itchy, weird rash. My physician at the time didn’t look up from writing in my chart (yes, this was BACK IN THE DAYS on pen and paper), and said, “Its pregnancy spots. It will go away once you have the baby.” Ok, what did I know about pregnancy? NOTHING!
