Fair Redistricting Maps: What They Are And Why We Need Them

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/10/2019 - 7:49am

Dear Editor,
In future legislative elections your vote will be counted, but will it count? The answer in part depends on how the Legislative and Congressional redistricting maps are drawn up after the 2020 US Census. By Wisconsin law, this job goes to the State Legislature.

Alderman Proud of New Glarus

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/10/2019 - 7:49am

Dear Editor,
What a week. Picture of the 1932 basketball team. My father, Isaac (Ike) Alderman was a member. Something that I am very proud of. Now, 87 years later, the second New Glarus Knights Basketball team goes to state. This time, the team won. I saw the final game on Saturday. I was very, very proud of the team, coaches, and many fans. Everyone represented themselves perfectly. I have always been proud to say that I was from New Glarus. After this past week, I am prouder to say – YES, I am from New Glarus.
Great job to all.
Gene Alderman,
