Monticello's Poppy Sales Successful

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/06/2016 - 6:50am

Dear Editor,
A big thank you for a very successful poppy sales, shows that the people know there is a need for vets, so I think it’s time for the village board to quit discriminating against veterans and senior citizens and quit treating us like second class citizens. So now is the time to make amends and give us the $150,000 from sale of the Legion Home so we can build a new veterans home and community center. Home Depot has written a letter stating they would help, so really, when a business from out of town offers to help, they know there is a need.

It's Time to Move Forward on a New Library

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/06/2016 - 6:50am

Dear Editor,
The time has come for the village of New Glarus to build a new library. For 15 years, this subject has been analyzed, critiqued and debated. After researching dozens of possible sites, it finally looked like a plan was in place to build near the Swiss Center property. Some residents and business owners preferred a downtown site, so an advisory referendum was held, and the downtown Glarner Park was approved, by the voters, with plans for the village to move the baseball diamond to a new site.
